Chapter 84

The holographic universe is known as the second real world.

There are shops, high-rise buildings, delicious food, schools... everything that exists today is available here. The most popular one is undoubtedly the mecha show.

Controlled by the biggest tycoon today, real mecha data is imported, and even in the holographic world, one can train one's own mecha data.

The entire show is divided into ten levels.

After signing up, you need to start from the first level. For each victory, the points you get are determined by the opponent's strength and points. From the first level to the second level, you need 1,000 points, and from the second level to the third level, you need 5,000 points.

The higher you go, the more points you get.

As for the top ten floors, I heard that most of them are S-class, and there are even major generals and retired soldiers... In short, they are all the proud sons of heaven.

Zimian is an ordinary C-class warrior. He had already climbed to the second floor, and was only one step away from the third floor.

But he was careless for a moment, and lost the game after betting all his points with his opponent. He was kicked back to the first floor by the system, and only had a pitiful 100 initial points.

Zimian: "..."

After working hard for several months, he was back to the pre-liberation era.

But there is no way, who made him inferior to others. He sighed and could only start from the lowest level of novice competition.

"Player 89651 'Safety is the Most Important', please go to venue 26 to compete." The cold voice of the intelligent computer sounded in the lounge.

Zimian pressed the 'Received' button, waited for the broadcast to stop, and then quickly sat on the mecha, waiting for the system to transport him to the destination.

The players on the first level are all kinds of people, including ordinary people who are bored and come to kill time, students who only know a little bit and come to the holographic world to experience mecha... and big guys who have just come in to upgrade.

Of course, the last type is very rare.

After all, big guys also started from ordinary people, and they were also noobs at the beginning. It's not that they have already beaten up and then opened a small account to bully noobs, hahahaha.

This is too weird.

Zimian sneered in his heart, and the mecha was transported to the 26th venue. Then... he watched a silver-white mecha, like a little kid with uncoordinated hands and feet, slowly and crookedly walking towards him.

"???"

What the hell? This... this is too bad, a 12-year-old kid who just found out that he has mental power? It

is obviously a cold and powerful killing weapon, but at this time, because of the player's control, it has a bit more silly and cute aura. This is a battle competition, not a cute show.

Qimian was already very irritable and dissatisfied after being kicked down from the second floor. Now he was matched with a novice by the system. He made an irritable "tsk" sound and couldn't help but sneer: "Where did this newbie come from? Hurry up and go home to drink milk."

"?" The silver mecha tilted its head, and the question mark could almost be seen in person.

Qimian: "Little friend, the children's mecha training next door is more suitable for you." At least learn the basic control! You can't even walk steadily, let alone fight.

The ridiculed Xia Yan: "..."

It's so funny. How can an adult of 1.8 meters have the nerve to compete with a child for a position?

Anyway, before he came in, he was ready to lose. He searched the original owner's memory and controlled the mecha according to the process. The result... seemed to be easier than he thought?

Zimian: "..." Okay, I can only play with the little brat.

With a teasing mentality, Zimian did not kill with one blow, but deliberately teased the opponent, wanting to make the ignorant kid suffer.

But as the fight went on... he felt something was wrong.

The movements of the silver mecha became more and more smooth, and the progress was visible to the naked eye. In just five or six minutes, he evolved from a complete novice to a veteran.

"???"

A sense of crisis suddenly came to his mind, and a voice in his heart was shouting - beat him! Quickly! Otherwise, we will lose!!!

Zimian's heart skipped a beat, and he no longer held back. He turned on the mecha's weapon and fired the cold laser cannon at the silver mecha.

Being injured in the hologram will not cause death, at most you will be mentally depressed for a few days.

Therefore, the fight is particularly exciting and there is no need to hold back.

Since it is an exhibition match, there will naturally be spectators. A few people in the stands ate snacks and looked at the already determined outcome with a calm face.

"'I want points' is going to lose."

"He is a novice after all, and 'Safety is the most important' is a veteran who almost reached the third level, but 'Points''s progress is scary."

"It feels like his mental strength is the lowest-" It is also B.

Before the last three words were finished, the battle on the platform was reversed in an instant.

The laser cannon fired cracks in the solid platform, and the flying dust blocked the view. At the moment when Zimian relaxed, the silver mecha jumped out like a flash of lightning, and the small dagger matched with the mecha suddenly pierced the neck of the red mecha from the side at a tricky angle.

"Squeak... Squeak... The mecha is damaged by 20%... The important circuit is broken, and the damage is 30%..."

Zimian was caught off guard by the sudden attack. Although the combat consciousness of many years is still there, how can the reaction of a C-level warrior be compared with that of an S-level warrior?

Unconsciously, Xia Yan has been completely immersed in the mecha, and every move of the opponent is filtered by a half-beat slow filter in his eyes.

Before the man could react, Dagger switched to a gun in a second, aimed at the cockpit, and fired a heavy shot at the opponent.

The close-range artillery fire was extremely lethal, and the red mecha was paralyzed with electric light and sparks.

Intelligent computer: "Player 'Safety is the Most Important' is unable to move, and this round of 'I Want Points' won. Congratulations to 'I Want Points' for getting 50 points."

Zimian was incredulous: "???"

The dazed audience: "???"

He actually lost? ?

Lost to a kid who couldn't even walk steadily at the beginning? ?

"You——" Zimian wanted to speak, wanted to ask a few questions, but he had just said a word when he saw the silver mecha flash and directly withdrew from the competition venue.

Completely ignored? ?

Zimian gritted his teeth, anxious and angry, and quickly left the venue. After returning to the lounge, he immediately searched for Xia Yan's competition name and added a follow viciously.

He wanted to see how far this newcomer could go?

After waiting for about two minutes, he saw "I want to score points" enter the competition again. Zimian immediately chose to buy a ticket to watch without saying a word.

The ticket fee for the tenth floor is only twenty star coins, the price of a cup of milk tea.

But people are more willing to spend money to watch the already famous players. A pure novice like Xia Yan, there are less than ten people in the entire audience area, pitiful.

Zimian sat in the middle with the best view, watching the familiar silver mech stepping onto the stage without blinking, looking completely different from the one he played with.

"..."

Can a person improve so quickly? Was he acting before?

Zimian was deeply puzzled.

Ten minutes later, he watched the victorious 'I want to score points' happily leave the stage, and then quickly started the next round... In just five minutes, the third round was over.

The fourth round, four minutes.

The fifth round, three minutes.

...

All eight rounds were won, and the silver mech became faster as time went on, almost killing the opponent in one encounter.

Opponent: "???" Wait! Am I done?

Zimian... Zimian was confused.

If it was a newcomer, he would swallow his mech? Where did this big guy come from! If you don't follow the ethics of martial arts, is it fun to play the pig and eat the tiger?

He angrily opened the largest mecha forum in the empire and posted a post full of resentment.

[Today, I played a mecha exhibition match and met a big guy with bad taste, who deliberately acted...] He explained the whole story and severely condemned this immoral behavior.

The forum traffic was very large, and soon someone replied.

[We can't figure out the big guy's brain circuit! ]

[It's so funny, the host and the big guy are the same, no one should laugh at each other. When you thought he was a rookie at first, didn't you want to play with him? ]

[He only won a few games on the tenth floor, and he can be called a big guy? Any student from the Central Military Academy can blow up the tenth floor. ]

[Although but... the Central Military Academy is originally for the chosen ones. Who of them who can be admitted is not a genius? ]

...

... ...

the back of the post went off track, and a group of people began to stir up the military academy.

[My husband is already in the third grade. For this year's final exam, should he have a practical test? I would be so sad if he gets hurt. ]

[The top 50 soldiers who graduate from the third grade can go to the border for early internship and military merit during the summer vacation, which will be of great benefit to their future enlistment. ]

[Ahhhh!!! A practical final exam, so... can we see Master Xia Yan? I want to see the golden eyes. ]

[Why are there such people in the world? Born with a diamond spoon in his mouth, with S-level mental power and handsome appearance, he is simply my dream husband. I would even marry him as my tenth wife. 】

【Brother upstairs, your pants have fallen off. 】

【Lick face. 】

...

Xia Yan Gardner has a bad reputation in the Central Military Academy, but he is very popular among ordinary people. People love his elegant and noble temperament, his innate golden eyes, and his aura as the top of his grade. People

look forward to him ascending the throne and leading the empire into the new era.

*

I don't know if it's because of the original owner's experience, or because the S-level mental power is very strong, or both, Xia Yan drives the mecha like a fish in water, smoothly and without any jams.

He finished eight games in one breath.

Obviously, because of the winning streak, his teammates are getting stronger and stronger, but he finishes faster and faster, so he gets a lot of points.

[Name: I want points.

Battle: 10/10 - the first part is the number of games won, and the second part is the number of games participated.

Points: 1650.

Level: Tenth level.

(350 points away from the ninth level.)]

If the protagonist hadn't sent him a message, Xia Yan would have wanted to play two more games and rushed up in one breath. He reluctantly exited the mecha.

Now... the most important thing is Ian Hyde.

Xia Yan walked out of the competition venue and came to a remote corner. After making sure that there was no one around, he took off the shabby white mask on his face, which cost ten star coins each.

Ahem, the original owner used this face to compete. Since he was upgraded to the highest tenth level, he is quite famous on the Internet. If he does not wear a mask, he will be recognized as a fake account at the beginning.

*

Liude Street, one of the most famous food streets in the holographic world.

Merchants of all sizes put out food for customers to choose. Men and women who dare not eat too much in reality for fear of getting fat can feast here.

Today, two particularly eye-catching guests came to the street.

People couldn't help but secretly glance over.

The young man, about 1.8 meters tall, was wearing a high-end brand, with bright and handsome eyebrows, soft hair draped on his forehead, and an elegant and dignified posture.

He looked like he should attend various high-end places, rather than come to the crowded food street to enjoy cheap junk fast food.

The young man was held by the hand of the boy who was accompanying him, and he followed him stiffly to an open-air fried chicken stall.

"Wow! It's fried chicken! I never had it when I was a kid, and I could only drink nutrient solution to deal with it..." The boy said, blinking his emerald green eyes and looking at Xia Yan pitifully.

Xia Yan: "..."

To be honest, Xia Yan didn't understand why it turned out like this?

After he finished the mecha competition, he came to the place he had agreed with the protagonist. Before he could think of what to say, the protagonist took the lead and said that he was willing to try dating him for a day.

If it's suitable, the two of them will be together.

What is this called? A surprise from the sky!

Xia Yan agreed immediately, and then he was pulled away by the protagonist in a daze. The boy's hands were large and hot, like iron clamps, tightly grasping his five fingers, as if afraid that he would escape.

This did not seem like an intimate contact between lovers, but rather like... the warden besieging a prisoner who was trying to escape, trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from the prisoner.

Ahhhh!!! Don't make up your mind!

Xia Yan quickly interrupted his unreliable thoughts. The original owner had not yet revealed his true identity. He and the protagonist were good friends.

There was no reason for the protagonist to have bad intentions!

Xia Yan thought so and couldn't help but glance down at the other party.

Ian noticed his gaze and raised his head slightly. His fiery red curly hair added some vitality to him. His cute baby face showed a big, brilliant smile without any gloom, which made people completely think that he was a notorious star thief. The

appearance and height of the holographic network can be adjusted. As long as the person is willing, it is no problem to be a slime.

Therefore, all kinds of strange humans can often be seen on the streets.

This face may not be Ian's true face.

Xia Yan calmly retracted his gaze and raised his smart computer to the boss: "Give me a fried chicken."

"Okay! A total of 38 interstellar coins, what flavor do you want?"

"..." Xia Yan looked down at the red-haired boy again. The boy looked back innocently and whispered: "I want sweet and spicy flavor, but I also want to try cheese. Honey mustard feels good too. It's so confusing! I can't choose, what should I do?"

Although Xia Yan was forced to have two romances with the protagonist, he didn't use any of his love skills.

So when he encountered the first multiple-choice question, he thought about it and made a straight man's statement: "Eat sweet and spicy today, and cheese tomorrow..."

Ian's mouth twitched without a trace: "..."

Can this person fall in love?

"But I really want to eat it today." He pretended to be naive and said, "We can buy three servings, I'll eat one and you two."

"..."

"Yan Yan, as a soldier, you should have a big appetite." Ian raised the corners of his lips, seemingly innocent and cute, but in fact there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

The original owner's fake name was Xu Yan.

Every part of the holographic world is built to imitate the real world.

The silent wind blew gently, lifting the young man's short hair, revealing his smooth forehead, and his dark eyes, with a completely different clarity and brightness from before.

Ian was slightly startled, and his fingers relaxed unconsciously.

The young man took his fingers back, pretending to adjust the position of the smart computer on his wrist, and then followed his words and asked the boss for three servings of fried chicken.

Xia Yan: "Okay, which one do you want to eat first?"

Ian answered subconsciously: "...sweet and spicy."

"Well, here you go." Xia Yan stuffed one of the portions into his hand, looked at the crowded crowd, and frowned subconsciously, "Do you want to go downstairs?"

"Yeah."

Xia Yan: "..." Well, he tried his best.

Compared with the previous two worlds, the protagonist of this world is obviously much more lively, perhaps because he was trapped on a spaceship and forced to be a tool when he was a child, and he especially likes to join in the hustle and bustle.

Xia Yan followed him around the food street, carrying a bunch of food in his hands.

He is not socially anxious now, but because of his previous personality, he prefers to go to a quieter place than a lively place.

Ian beside him chirped like a little sparrow.

Xia Yan looked at each other inconspicuously. The protagonist was slightly shorter than him, about 1.78 meters tall, with a very young face and a little baby fat. He looked only 17 or 18 years old.

"Yan Yan."

"..."

"Yan Yan!" Ian raised his voice, "Why do you keep looking at me? Do you want to eat octopus balls? Come on! Ah! I'll feed you."

Xia Yan came back to his senses: "No need." "

Take a bite ."

"No."

"Take a bite!" The boy pouted, "I want to share the food with you. Is it that..." He paused for a moment and asked doubtfully, "...Yan Yan, do you think it's shameful to give up street food?"

"..."

"Sure enough, we are not from the same world. I am just an ordinary person, and you are a noble. How can I be worthy of you?" The boy lowered his head in frustration, covering his face with one hand, as if silently wiping away tears.

But in reality, that face was very calm, with some vicious sarcasm in the eyes.

Although I don't know why this strange young master wants to approach me and confess to me despite his disgust, it doesn't prevent Ian from deliberately teasing him for revenge.

No matter how the nobles who look down on the common people try to hide it, the sense of superiority in their bones is still disgusting.

I thought today was a little different, but as expected... I couldn't stand the temptation.

Ian's mind was full of twists and turns, and he suddenly felt exhausted. He was about to reveal his true face and say goodbye to "Xu Yan" completely.

But suddenly, he felt his right hand being pinched, and a warm breath approached. He subconsciously raised his head, and what he saw was the sharp and delicate profile of the young man.

He has a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and long, curled eyelashes that tremble slightly, like butterfly wings, with a kind of fragility and beauty that bewitchingly captures the heart. His

plump lips slightly opened, and the tip of his tongue poked out, deftly wrapping around the octopus ball on the skewer, hooking it into his mouth, and a small, cute bulge appeared on the right side of his face.

Ian was stunned, his heartbeat suddenly stopped, and then suddenly accelerated.

A nameless anger rose in his heart, making him at a loss.
