The call was quickly connected, and De Lagar asked in a brisk tone, "Auckland, I was just about to send you a call. We're here. Where are you?"
Auckland gave him the coordinates, then smiled and said, "Come over here quickly, I have a surprise for you."
"Surprise!" Dragal almost immediately figured out what it was and nearly jumped up in excitement. "Come right up!"
Before the call was even hung up, De Lagar and Rachel appeared in front of Auckland.
"Surprise!" Dragal looked at Auckland with sparkling eyes.
Auckland jokingly took out two coats of arms and gave one to each of them.
Dragal summoned an energy tester. When he saw the value displayed on the tester, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God! A B-level defense emblem!"
Although Rachel's emotions weren't as outwardly expressed as Dragal's, his dark eyes also sparkled with excitement. "Thank you."
"What's yours? Let me see." Dragal spread his hands in front of Rachel.
Rachel gave him a helpless smile and handed him the virtual emblem.
Sure enough, the next moment Dragal exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God! A B+ Power Emblem!"
De Lagar gave Auckland a resentful look and reluctantly returned the B+ emblem to Rachel.
"If you like, I'll switch with you." Rachel was still as good-tempered as ever.
"No way, I have two emblems! That's enough!" Dragal said, grabbing Rachel's wrist and dragging her out. "Let's go! Let's go to the mecha battle!"
Rachel looked at him in amusement. In fact, he also wanted to try the power of the emblem. He looked at Auckland and asked, "Are you going?"
"Okay, I'll go watch you fight." Oakland also wanted to see the effect of the emblem he made equipped on the mecha.
"Okay!" Dragal immediately opened the arena registration, found an empty room and went in. "Room 300, Area D, Arena."
Rachel and Auckland immediately opened the arena interface. When they found Area D and clicked on Room 300, a prompt popped up, "Room is full, switching to spectator mode."
"What's going on?" Dragal looked at a JA-144 mecha that appeared out of nowhere in front of him with a confused look on his face.
This person must have chosen a random battle and then been thrown into this room by the intelligent computer. Dragal had no doubt about this. His surprise was the mecha opposite him.
The J-series mechas are considered mid- to high-end mechas. Not only are the metal materials used to build them more rare, but their performance is also significantly higher than that of ordinary mechas. These virtual mechas require a one-time top-up of 50,000 Federation Coins to purchase.
Why would such a mecha appear in Area D?
Dragal was completely confused, but now was not the time to think about it, he had to end the battle quickly.
This time the battle location was assigned to the vast starry sky. In the holographic mode, they seemed to be really in the universe. Gravity lost its effect in an instant. When they were fighting, they also had to consider the energy reserves of the mecha.
Before the battle began, there was 30 seconds of preparation time. Dragal quickly equipped the newly acquired defensive emblem on the mecha, and the mecha's data immediately increased a lot.
When the bell rang to signal the start of the battle, Dragal's mecha rushed out immediately. With the assistance of the jets on the wrists and soles of the mecha, his movements were very light and swift.
However, the opposing mecha also reacted quickly, easily avoiding Dragal's attack and quickly retreating, creating some distance between them. Then it raised its arm and shot out a freezing ray.
"Oh my God! He actually has an ice element emblem!" Dragal was speechless. A J-series mecha, plus a virtual ice element emblem, how rich is this guy?
It would be fine if he was just this rich, but he actually came to Area D to fight against him. He's totally crazy!
I don't know why, the freezing ray just now seemed to have hit Dragal's arm, but Dragal's mecha seemed to be unaffected except for being covered with a layer of frost, and was still able to move freely.
What's going on?
Not only the two players who were competing were surprised, but even Rachel who was watching the game was surprised.
Only Auckland raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered that he had learned in the heraldry lecture that high-level virtual heraldry rarely appeared on the Star Network, not to mention the even rarer elemental heraldry.
Auckland zoomed in on the holographic camera, observing the JA-144's freeze ray closely. He felt that the ice emblem appeared to have high attack power, but its actual damage was minimal. He judged that the virtual emblem's energy level was probably B, but its attached ice elemental properties were somewhat weak.
This reminded him of a lecture on heraldry, where a young man in blue clothes took out a fire element emblem. It was the same situation: the energy level was sufficient, but the attributes were low.
If the ice element emblem used by this mecha was made by that young man, then it would make sense.
The defensive enhanced emblem equipped by Oakland has the same energy level as the opponent's emblem, but the enhanced attributes are almost twice that of the opponent. As a result, the opponent's attack through the ice element emblem cannot break Oakland's defense at all, and the attack naturally has no effect.
What Auckland didn't know was that most defensive emblems couldn't completely offset the damage from elemental attacks, and some emblems would even be affected by elemental attacks and be destroyed.
The reason why Dragal's mecha can resist the opponent's elemental attacks is not only because its energy level and emblem attributes are higher than the opponent's, but more importantly, the structure of the emblem made by Oakland is more stable and not easily affected by elemental attacks, thus achieving a nearly perfect defensive effect.
As Auckland came into contact with and gained a deeper understanding of the coat of arms, he gradually understood the reasons behind this. At present, he only thought it was caused by the crushing of attributes.
The enemy's JA-144 mech, while boasting superior performance, was only marginally superior to Dragal's YC-158. Its own defense and attack power were inferior to the enhanced YC-158. With his ice emblem's attacks ineffective, the battle became almost one-sided.
When Dragal achieved the final victory, both parties were quickly teleported out of the room.
"Oakland!" After Dragal left the room, he rushed to Oakland, hugged him, and jumped up and down excitedly, "I won! I actually won! I won the J-series mecha! And I also won the person with the ice element emblem!"
"Okay, okay, you're the best." Oakland shook his head and tore the person off his body.
"That's awesome! I want to fight another 300 rounds!"
"You guys go and have fun, I have something else to do." Oakland felt that he had rested enough and planned to go back to the virtual studio to make another emblem to sell.
"Okay! Send me a message if you have any questions!"
"no problem."
After parting with the two, Auckland returned to the heraldic material store and rented the virtual studio for another two hours.
Because he had visited the shop several times in just two days, the staff recognized him and greeted him with a smile, "I wish you good luck with your coat of arms."
"Thank you for your good wishes." Auckland also nodded at him.
Entering the virtual studio again, Auckland first sat cross-legged and meditated for a while. When he felt that his consciousness had almost recovered, he stood up and started making the virtual emblem again.
This time he used the technique of making talismans. With the help of the skills, he kept changing the spells and drew the runes of the golden shield talisman with the magic crystal pen.
The Golden Shield Talisman is a very special defensive talisman. When attacked, it forms an arc-shaped transparent barrier to protect the user. This barrier is not completely transparent. Sometimes, in the sunlight, you can vaguely see some mottled golden light and shadow, like a golden shield standing in front, hence the name.
A low-grade Golden Shield Talisman could defend against a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and was the most commonly used defensive talisman by cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. A mid-grade Golden Shield Talisman could defend against a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the Golden Core stage. Its price was extremely high, and it was considered the best-selling talisman he had ever sold in his previous life.
With his current level of cultivation, he probably can't even make the lowest-grade inferior gold shield talisman. He can only use virtual data in this star network to try to use the runes of the inferior gold shield talisman to make a defensive emblem.
Two hours passed in a flash, and when the last stroke was made, Auckland collapsed on the chair, so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms, and his headache felt like it was about to explode.
He lay on the chair and rested for a long time before he stood up, put the virtual emblem into the virtual warehouse, paid the overtime fee, and logged off directly.
After taking off the smart helmet, Auckland went to get a soothing drug, tilted his head back and drank it. The throbbing pain in his brain instantly eased a lot, and his over-consumed consciousness gradually began to recover with the help of the soothing drug, making him feel very comfortable.
I must buy some more soothing agents tomorrow, maybe they will be helpful in repairing my spiritual consciousness.
Thinking of this, Auckland lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't notice that the light computer on his wrist had automatically switched to the do-not-disturb mode, and the LCD screen showed that he had five missed calls, all from the same unfamiliar number.
*******
"Damn it! That kid actually dared not answer my call!" In the Campbell family mansion, Edmund Campbell smashed a cup in anger.
"Don't be angry with that kid. I'd be heartbroken if you got sick from being angry for no reason." Milna twisted her slender waist and fell into his arms, soothing him softly, "Didn't I ask George to remind him?"
"George also said that he had warned him! But until now, the transfer application is still on the information bulletin board! He hasn't withdrawn it at all!" With the soft and fragrant jade in his arms, Edmund's face finally looked better, but his tone was still furious.
"It's so late today, is he asleep? Or should I ask George to look for him tomorrow? Remind him of his identity and tell him not to be so self-righteous."
"It will be too late tomorrow!" Edmund stamped his feet heavily.
"How can it be too late?"
"Hey! Look!" Edmund called up the official website of the First Federal Military Academy, opened the information bulletin board, and selected Auckland's transfer application. The words "pending assessment" were clearly marked on it, and the assessment date was tomorrow.
"He actually passed the review?" Milna sat up suddenly, and the sweet smile on her face could no longer be maintained, replaced by an expression of extreme shock.
"Isn't it? Someone must be deliberately causing trouble. If he doesn't withdraw his application today, it will be too late to do so tomorrow. By then, the reputation of our Campbell family will be ruined by him!"
"We shouldn't have let him go to the First Federal Military Academy in the first place. Look at him now, he's not listening." Milna pretended to be anxious and asked, "Look at what we should do now?"
"What should I do? How do I know what to do?" Edmund guessed that the brat might have turned on the do not disturb function. In this case, even if he made a hundred calls or sent a hundred messages, the brat would not have any reply.
It's so late now, and it's not appropriate to let George go there again. If he causes any commotion, it will be a great loss of face for their family.
"Then I will send a message to George and ask him to go again tomorrow morning! We must not let him take part in this assessment! If it is publicly tested that his mental power is only E-level, then our Campbell family will be humiliated." Milna said.
"That's it, then." Edmund considered it for a moment, and it seemed this was the only solution. "You're right, that kid is a hopeless case. He thinks he's grown up, so he dares to disobey. Once this matter is resolved tomorrow, I'll immediately go and get him expelled!"
Hearing this, a triumphant smile appeared on Milna's face. She quickly advised him to rest quickly, then quietly went to the study and called her son.
"Mother." George's image immediately appeared in front of her.
"My goodness, George, that little bastard still hasn't withdrawn his transfer application. I don't know how he got through the review. Go back there tomorrow morning and don't let him take the transfer exam!"
"Mother, it's okay to let him participate, right? He's definitely not going to pass the transfer exam anyway."
"No, we must be prepared for the worst. We can't let him have any chance to turn things around!" Milna said grimly. "Send someone to investigate how he passed the review. Is there something fishy going on?"
