Oakland told Hall about the fire element emblem he made in his studio. Hall was stunned for a moment, and then asked to buy the emblem without asking about its quality. It can be seen that he had no doubt about Oakland's ability at all.
Oakland naturally wouldn't refuse. He offered a friendly price of only 20,000 federal coins, but Hall still transferred 50,000 federal coins to him. After receiving the emblem, he transferred another 30,000 to Oakland.
Auckland couldn't return the money, so he had to use it to buy delicious and fun things for the little ball of fur, which was like the wool coming from the sheep.
What he didn't expect was that the next day, this emblem would put him and Hall in the spotlight.
The next day was the day for the individual rematch of the Rookie Mecha Competition. The competition system was very simple and crude. The top 100 players from each regional qualifier would be gathered together, randomly assigned and combined into 20 groups for a mixed elimination tournament.
The mixed elimination tournament, as the name suggests, is a mixed fight where all players are mixed together, and the ten remaining players will qualify for the next round.
The intelligent computer has information about every contestant, and contestants from the same team, the same school, or even the same planet will not be divided into the same group.
This means that contestants must adjust themselves to their strongest state and use all their strength to enhance their strength, because in the mixed elimination competition, they can only rely on themselves, and everyone in the group may become an enemy.
Hall bought a total of four special emblems and one elemental emblem from Oakland. He gave the golden shield emblem that enhanced defense to Chris, the wind shadow emblem that enhanced speed to Joanna, and the giant force emblem that enhanced strength to Ignaz. He only kept one golden shield emblem and one fire element emblem for himself.
To be able to watch the game, Auckland woke up early, took his little furball out for a morning run, fed him plenty of dried fish and fragrant slices of meat, and gave him a relaxing bath. After finally coaxing him to sleep, he put on his smart helmet and logged into the Star Network. Even so, Auckland was still late; the game had already started for five minutes.
The live tickets were still given by Hall as a gift, and he also brought De Lagar and Rachel along. When Auckland appeared at the seat, the two of them quickly asked Auckland to switch the screen to the seventh group.
Group 7 is the group that Hall is in. I don’t know if it is a coincidence, but there are three regional qualifying champions in Group 7, including Hall. It is nicknamed the Black Death Group on Star Network.
The game map was randomly selected by the intelligent computer. Group 7 was located on a rocky mountain with rugged terrain, which was a convenient place for hiding and raiding.
Over 250 people were engaged in a chaotic battle on the same map, but Oakland spotted Hall's KA-165 mech at first sight. Every time this pale golden mech appeared, it dealt a fatal blow to the enemy, constantly eliminating them and teleporting them off the map.
Every time a player defeated someone, they would earn ten points. If they were eliminated, their points would be reset to zero. If they ultimately won, their points would influence their ranking in the next match. Therefore, every contestant was filled with aggression, and they would not miss any opportunity to attack any opponent they encountered.
Hall had been attacked several times, but had managed to escape each one without incident. He now had 70 points, placing him second on the field. The top-ranked player was using a JS-773 mecha, a luxury mecha that could be purchased in Area B for 100,000 Federation Coins and 10,000 points. Its performance was only slightly inferior to that of the KA-165.
The advantage of JS-773 is that he has been using emblems from the very beginning. He has a dark element emblem that allows him to blend into the darkness perfectly, so he has succeeded many times by hiding in the dark and relying on surprise attacks.
However, Hall has never used the emblem, which shows how powerful he is.
Finally, when the two of them were significantly ahead in points, several contestants decided to temporarily unite to eliminate the most threatening opponent first.
One of the mechas that was good at reconnaissance discovered Hall's whereabouts and immediately called on the others to surround him. This made Auckland, who was watching, suddenly nervous and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Being targeted by so many people at once, Hall was already surrounded by rocks, making escape difficult. Furthermore, running away wasn't Hall's style, so he activated his emblem, and his mecha emitted a faint fiery red light.
"He has the emblem of the fire element! Come on! We can't let him stay here any longer!" The people surrounding him immediately realized that the situation had changed and attacked him without hesitation.
Six or seven mechas rushed forward, but Hall attacked and dodged flexibly. When there was no escape, he would send out a fireball and knock the approaching mecha away.
The fireball was extremely powerful. As long as it was hit, the damage rate of the mecha would increase by 8%-10%. For a moment, no one dared to surround it.
"What should we do? He is too strong." Some people began to think about giving up.
"That's why we have to kill him here. If we let him run away, what will he do if he attacks us later?!" They finally surrounded him here with the help of their numbers. If they give up like this, elimination will be the only thing waiting for them.
This man was already terrifyingly strong even without using the emblem. Once he escaped the encirclement, he would definitely defeat them one by one, so they had no choice but to kill him here.
"That's right! His mecha has limited energy. He won't be able to hold on for long if he keeps firing fireballs like this!" These words made everyone regain their confidence and rush forward again.
However, Hall wasn't worried about energy at all. The three emblems he was equipped with were all Class A. They included a standard emblem for increased speed, a special emblem for increased defense, and a fire emblem. The combined energy was a staggering 16WGJ, enough for him to launch 1,600 fireballs. Furthermore, the KA-165 mech's built-in energy was sufficient to sustain high-intensity operation for four hours. Even without these emblems, Hall was confident he could eliminate all of these people before his mech was destroyed.
These people had no idea what a terrifying monster they were about to face. Faced with Hall's high-intensity attack frequency and the seemingly endless fireball bombardment, these improvised rabble, with their own various little calculations, were finally beaten and fled in embarrassment after three of them were eliminated in succession.
Just as the audience was rejoicing at Hall's victory, the shadow in a depression on the mountain wall behind Hall suddenly twisted for a moment.
Hall, who had his back to the mountain wall, might not have noticed it, but everyone who was watching could see it clearly: it was the JS-773 with the dark element emblem!
"Be careful!" Everyone was worried about Hall, and some even wanted to rush into the screen to remind him.
It’s a pity that Hall didn’t hear their shouts. Hall still had his back to the mountain wall, checking his position with the electronic locator in his mecha.
The raid happened at this moment. A black shadow rushed out from the darkness at an extremely fast speed, and the Aurora Sword flashing with white light slashed fiercely at Hall's back. Once hit, even the KA-165 mecha would suffer 10%-15% damage, not to mention that if the thrusters were destroyed, it would become very inconvenient to move in this rocky mountain.
However, to everyone's surprise, a golden light suddenly lit up, and a golden energy shield suddenly appeared on the surface of Hall's mecha, directly blocking the fierce attack.
The golden energy shield was shattered, but Hall turned around in time, and the opponent's Aurora Sword only grazed his fuselage, causing less than 2% of the damage.
However, Hall's eyes turned fierce. Taking advantage of the moment when he passed by the opponent, he attacked like lightning. The Aurora Sword in his hand directly pierced through the opponent's right mecha.
"Oh my God, the operator of this KA-165 is so awesome, right? How much strength does that require?" Mechanical mechas rely on the operator's body movements to drive the mecha's actions, which places very high demands on the operator's physical fitness and reaction ability.
Hall was able to pierce the opponent's mecha with one blow using the Aurora Sword. This was not only due to the high performance of his mecha itself, but also inseparable from his own quick reaction and powerful strength.
"You know shit! That's Hall Williams! I just saw him on the list of competitors, and his mecha is the KA-165!"
"No wonder he's so strong!"
"Oh my god, what was that light shield just now?"
"Could it be that special emblem that's been so popular lately?"
"Maybe? Lancelot did it!"
"It seems someone just saw a special emblem in Group 11. It's the same emblem that appeared before that allows people to teleport! Isn't this Lancelot too powerful?"
For a moment, Lancelot's name overshadowed Hall, who had just become famous.
