Chapter 93



The atmosphere of the main arena for the finals reached the peak of the entire competition. The virtual universe was full of stars and the galaxy was shining. Two simulation warehouses were placed on the main arena, and the virtual projections of the mechas they represented collided in mid-air.

Jiang Hao settled his people and went to Bai Li to check on the situation. His face was a little haggard due to the continuous work and staying up late, but his spirit was very high.

"The positions on the second batch of warships have been arranged," Jiang Hao whispered to Lu Zhao, "Han Miao Lingchen sent a message that he is in great need of a partner to support him, so I asked you to go over quickly."

Lu Zhao's expression relaxed slightly: "Thank you."

Jiang Hao patted his arm, indicating that he didn't need to be angry, and then remembered another thing, leaned over and whispered a few words in Bai Li's ear.

"Crazy?" Bai Li was surprised, "Does he want to piss the old man off to death?"

"He probably doesn't think it's a big deal," Jiang Hao said helplessly, "I'm really impressed."

The sound of metal colliding rang out in the main arena, and the game was about to start in ten minutes.

Jiang Hao returned to his seat with some concern. He had arranged the old comrades from the satellite planet to sit around his seat, and now he had to take care of them.

Lu Zhao took the restorative nutrient solution handed to him by the medical staff, squeezed it out and handed it to Bai Li. The latter's expression became a little subtle after hearing Jiang Hao's words: "What?"

"I can squeeze it. My hand is not broken." This kind of consideration in details made Bai Li feel funny, but he still took it and took a sip, then whispered in Lu Zhao's ear, "The second heir is here too."

"Lin Xu?" Lu Zhao was stunned, "Here?"

Unlike the first heir who always wanted to pay attention to the limelight wherever he went, the second heir still maintained the habit of staying in the remote satellite star even after returning to the main star, and did whatever he remembered.

"Speak softly," Bai Li said, "He seems to be like this. Some time ago, he was secretly photographed while shopping in a supermarket for discounted vegetables. I heard from the Marshal that his father scolded him and said it was shameful."

Lu Zhao was speechless.

But the main stadium is a place with a lot of people, so it is not suitable for the heir to go in and out. Lu Zhao was a little worried: "Is this okay?"

"Of course not, but this time I have informed the event team in advance, and he should watch the game in the backstage." Bai Li smiled, "But if he comes to watch the game at this time, I guess the old majesty will be furious if he knows about it."

The scandal of the Fuli Club has put the first heir, who has an unbreakable relationship with Lin Sheng, into huge trouble. The royal family is also in a mess because of these two Lins. The second heir came to watch this game with Bai Li at this time, and he was almost saying "I am very interested in Master Bai, who has a bad relationship with Lin Sheng and my brother."

The old majesty will be angry to death by this son sooner or later.

The two had not talked about this for long when the second metal collision sound was heard.

"Five minutes left, this is the venue for the finals of the qualifying round! Let us invite the driver of MU90--" The commentator's voice pushed the atmosphere of the stadium to a small climax.

"I have seen this driver several times," Bai Li patted the chair beside him and asked Lu Zhao to sit down. "He worked in the affiliated army for a few years, and retired for personal reasons. Since then, he has been playing in competitions like this to make a living. His experience is much higher than Zhou Linshan."

Lu Zhao was not in the mood to pay attention to the competition during this period, and he had not checked the opponent's information. He frowned when listening to Bai Li's analysis. Just from Bai Li's simple narration, he could feel that Bai's Research Institute took a big risk in choosing Zhou Linshan.

"The white01 model, which showed amazing strength in this competition and finally made it to the finals, has a new driver!" The commentator continued, "This is a young driver, but the White Institute still boldly activated him. He is also the only omega driver in this year's competition - Zhou Linshan!"

Zhou Linshan stepped onto the main stage with a stiff face, and it was obvious that he was nervous. When he stepped onto the main stage, he remembered that he was not wearing a helmet, so he quickly put it on.

Then he walked to his simulation warehouse with his hands and feet together.

There were a few slightly contemptuous laughs from the audience.

From the time the Bai Institute announced the replacement to now, in addition to supporters who expressed concern and regret, there were also many people who were watching the show. Some people were puzzled by the Bai Institute's choice of O as the driver, and said that they were ready for Bai's defeat.

The subtle atmosphere in the audience was not concealed at all, and Zhou Linshan could feel it. He took a deep breath, saluted to the audience, and then dived into the simulation warehouse.

This set of actions made people stunned, and Bai Li laughed.

"It seems that Zhou Linshan is not a player who will be easily influenced by the outside world," the commentator laughed, "then let us look forward to his performance--"

The two drivers entered the simulation warehouse separately, and finally a metal collision sounded.

"The game begins!"

This was Bai Li's first time to watch a game as a spectator. After a brief darkness, the holographic projection showed a map. When the picture appeared, Bai Li and Lu Zhao were a little surprised.

The dim light enveloped the map. A lot of dust floated in the turbid air. The silent statues in the dark looked strange and scary. From time to time, there were tiny sounds echoing around - this was a huge underground ruins of an undeveloped planet.

This map was simulated based on actual combat. At that time, a five-member team of the Empire chased the natives of the wasteland planet into the underground ruins and almost all of them were buried in it.

Zhou Linshan's new low point was quite standard, landing on the shoulder of a statue. He almost slipped because of nervousness, but fortunately white01 was light and agile, and he came to his senses and controlled it to land on the ground.

The other driver also got rid of the corner covered with sticky moss-like plants, raised his hand and fired a cannon at Zhou Linshan. Zhou Linshan dodged in time, and the light cannon broke the pillar behind him, and dust flew.

"How many times have you played this map?" Bai Li asked Lu Zhao, "I have practiced it several times, but to be honest, the possibility of drawing it is too small."

Lu Zhao nodded: "It's very difficult."

The difficulty of this map is not limited to the space with many obstacles, but the more difficult part is the creatures that exist in this ruins.

The holographic projection shows Zhou Linshan dodging a barrage of MU90's fire. The heavily armored MU90 has enhanced its weapons and equipment, striving to resolve the battle in a short time.

Zhou Linshan has a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of heavy armor, and did not choose to be stubborn. Instead, he used obstacles to dodge and used ion cannons in the gaps.

"White01 maintains a highly flexible combat style, and the mecha does not seem to put much pressure on Zhou Linshan. He himself is also very good at operating the mecha," the commentator said quickly, "but MU90 is unmoved. The opponent's driver is an experienced veteran who does not care about Zhou Linshan's harassment. From his crisp and swift attacks, it can be seen that he is very confident that he can resolve the battle as soon as possible-"

Before he finished speaking, the screen on the holographic projection shook slightly, and the rustling sound became louder, making people's scalps numb.

Then several giant insects with hard shells on their backs rushed out of the dark corridor, broke into the cave that looked like a shrine, and almost knocked over the two mechas in the cave.

"It appeared!" the commentator shouted, "The biggest difficulty of this map is this group of satellite creatures that can break the wall!"

Bai Li could almost imagine what would happen to white01 under the impact of such creatures. The material it chose was originally thin and could not withstand too much impact, and the damage would increase rapidly.

Zhou Linshan obviously thought of this point, and immediately climbed up the statue and left the ground.

The heavy body of MU90 is not easy to move, but because of its weight, it did not fall down after being hit, but raised its gun to shoot.

The impact of the shooting slowed down the giant insect's forward speed, but failed to penetrate its hard shell immediately.

"The shell of this thing can almost be used as a disposable defense mecha," Bai Li moved in the wheelchair impatiently, "It can't be penetrated at once. The original team that chased into the underground ruins was almost wiped out by this thing."

Lu Zhao held him down to prevent him from moving around and affecting his left leg: "Have you simulated this picture with white01?"

"I've fought it a few times. This creature is very troublesome, but it's not like there's nothing you can do except bombard it," Bai Li replied, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair, "but it requires a high level of personal ability, and I'm not sure if Zhou Linshan has practiced it."

Zhou Linshan was on the shoulder of the statue, and took advantage of the chaos to fire at MU90, causing some damage, but white01 didn't have many long-range weapons, so it wasn't suitable for long-range combat. Instead, MU90 used a small laser cannon to collapse half of the statue's shoulder, and it rolled down and fell into the encirclement of giant insects.

A giant insect stretched out its sharp toes and stabbed at white01, and the audience cheered.

Bai Li felt that Lu Zhao's grip on his hand was a little tight, so he glanced to the side. Lu Zhao's expression was indifferent, his lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes were fixed on the projection.

He had watched every game of Bai Li with such nervousness, but this time the nervousness was more complicated.

White01 fell to the ground, propped himself up, jumped up flexibly, and easily dodged the falling foot. He pulled out the light blade and inserted it directly into the gap between the giant insect's shell and body.

The thin light blade easily sank into the relatively soft and fragile body of the giant insect compared to the shell, and directly cut off most of its head. It struggled and fluttered twice before it became motionless.

"This is amazing!" the commentator exclaimed, "There was no pause from landing to attacking. It can be seen that the driver has also put a lot of effort into personal physical training. He took down a giant insect with means other than cannonballs without hesitation!"

Bai Li's heart was relieved. Zhou Linshan's performance was beyond his imagination.

Perhaps he recognized the path he needed to face. This omega who had just differentiated his gender chose a training route similar to Lu Zhao's. He worked hard on personal physical training, and therefore his physique became stronger and he was better at close combat.

"I think that maybe in the beginning, people like us are the ones who can drive white01," Bai Li held Lu Zhao's hand with his backhand and said softly, "Because we know our own shortcomings, we will try our best to make up for them. White01 is just a reward, an opportunity to reward those of us who work hard."

Lu Zhao did not speak, but silently held Bai Li's hand.

Unlike others, Zhou Linshan actually knows this map very well. He is not as talented as Lu Zhao, so he has been doing a lot of training since he came into contact with the mecha.

He sat in the cockpit and thought he would be so nervous that his hands and feet would tremble, but in fact, just dealing with all the battles made him highly concentrated, and he had no extra energy to be nervous.

For people like them, 100% effort may only allow them to advance 1 centimeter, while for those who are born with advantages, 10% effort is enough to take this 1 centimeter.

But Zhou Linshan knew that this concept would work in another way - I can advance 1 centimeter as long as I am willing to put in 100% effort.

And the accumulation of centimeters by centimeters also brought him a more solid foundation. He can brush maps that others disdain to brush until he is sick. He remembers every detail and every change clearly, even if his body cannot keep up with the thinking of his brain.

As he expected, the appearance of the giant worm made MU90 fall into a short distraction. This has nothing to do with experience. This map is rarely drawn, and heavy armor drivers rely more on heavy weapons, so it is easy to use artillery fire as a means of response.

Zhou Linshan did not take action at the beginning just to consume MU90's energy.

According to the pre-match survey, although MU90 is equipped with a large number of high-damage weapons, it also has shortcomings, and it has a huge demand for energy.

Although the script did not go according to Zhou Linshan's ideal routine and he was forced to fall to the ground, it was also partially realized.

At this moment, Zhou Linshan killed the giant insects that kept harassing him while dodging the attacks of MU90.

The opponent is indeed an experienced veteran. He designed several times to smash the surrounding obstacles. Even if Zhou Linshan avoided the attack, he was hit by the falling large pieces, and the damage slowly accumulated.

White01's supporters in the audience were already emotional because of excessive anxiety. Bai Li heard people cursing continuously.

Lu Zhao was not in a good mood. He was used to hearing this kind of scolding when he was off the court, but it was the first time for Bai Li.

"It happens all the time," Lu Zhao said, "Don't worry about it."

Bai Li touched his chin with his other hand and stared at the holographic projection intently. After a while, he seemed to react: "What?"

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Zhao realized that he was too lazy to pay attention to the discussions around him, so he didn't mention it again.

"I think the driver of MU90 may be a little inflated," Bai Li smiled, "He doesn't seem to think highly of a rookie like Zhou Linshan. He has been suppressing him with powerful artillery fire. After several close-range fights that put Zhou Linshan at a disadvantage, he doesn't care much about the rookie's little tricks."

Lu Zhao said helplessly: "The rookie is your driver." Can you be more polite?

While talking, the first wave of giant insects' charge on the holographic projection has ended. This creature will launch a group attack at a certain time. Their nest is located in a dark corridor. According to Bai Li's experience, there will probably be no second charge before the end of the game time.

Zhou Linshan's forehead was sweating in the cockpit. His personal ability was not low, but he was still a little lacking in actual combat. He was suppressed by the MU90 driver several times in a head-on confrontation. Fortunately, white01 was very sensitive and allowed him to dodge several fierce attacks.

He asked the system to report the remaining energy and damage of white01, and estimated the opponent's various data based on his understanding of heavy armor, biting his lip.

This is not a solution. He was played around by his opponent several times due to his lack of experience. He almost died on the spot. His damage level was about to exceed half. Although his opponent was damaged to a certain extent by the giant insect, his attack did not hurt him too much.

Zhou Linshan was confident that he could drag the game to the end with the help of white01, so that he would not lose consciousness and pop out of the map and lose. However, if the game time was up and the victory was determined by statistics, he would definitely lose.

He had to find a way to reduce MU90's damage to the same level as his!

Another fierce attack, the underground ruins trembled slightly with the bombardment. Zhou Linshan knew this place well. He decided to give it a try.

"White01 doesn't seem to want to get too involved in the gun battle with MU90. Zhou Linshan used the giant insect corpse to dodge several attacks, and then headed towards..." The commentator paused, and there was some confusion in his tone, "Towards the tunnel!"

The blue fuselage rushed towards the tunnel at an incredibly fast speed, and MU90's aiming couldn't keep up with Zhou Linshan's speed.

Bai Li took a breath with a hiss, a little surprised.

"His speed," Lu Zhao observed carefully for a few seconds and came to a conclusion, "seems to be no slower than yours."

Bai Li's mental strength is quite high, and it can be said to be extremely strong, which is why he can drive a heavy armor like a hovercraft.

"Although Zhou Linshan's mental power is not low, it is not particularly good either. However, because he has no limb disabilities, Situ adjusted the data so he doesn't have to be as careful as I did," Bai Li said, "But this is too fast, although it is not very stable."

Lu Zhao pondered, "The instability is because the omega's mental power is too sensitive and easily affected and fluctuates."

"But because of its sensitivity, it is easy to enter a small peak in output," Bai Li analyzed, "Maybe because of this, white01's skills were mobilized and reached this speed."

This conclusion cannot be confirmed immediately. During the white01 experiment, most drivers were alpha or beta. Although Lu Zhao is an Omega, his mental power has always been stable and he is not used as a reference template for O. Si Dong is not yet completely stable and cannot be used as an example.

Therefore, Zhou Linshan is currently the only omega driver who can be used as a reference.

Without waiting for the commentator and the audience to react, Zhou Linshan rushed into the tunnel and fired several light cannons in one direction in the dark. Under the light of the cannon fire, the outlines of countless giant insects in the tunnel were reflected, and it was also clear what Zhou Linshan attacked.

It was a huge egg stuck to the wall of the tunnel, which was blown into pieces and splattered with mucus.

After a few seconds, the giant insects whose eggs were blown up woke up from their slumber, rushed up in anger, and crushed out like a heavy tank.

When MU90 didn't pay attention to white01's trick, Zhou Linshan used his knowledge of the map to force the giant insects to charge for the second time.

This time the charge was more aggressive than before. The angry giant insects took the two mechas as their targets for venting their anger. They rushed out like a tide. The entrance that was originally only for two or three giant insects to travel at the same time was knocked open. A large number of giant insects attacked at the same time, and most of the wall was directly destroyed. There was

a pile of dust and debris in the underground ruins. MU90 was caught off guard and knocked down by the giant insects that stepped on their companions and rushed up. It was immediately submerged by the tide of insects, and the degree of damage increased sharply.

White01 shuttled through the gaps between the giant insects, slashed with his sword, cut down several giant insects, and climbed up the beams next to the destroyed wall.

"It was calculated--" the commentator couldn't help laughing, "This picture has basically never appeared in previous competitions. The driver of MU90 probably didn't expect white01 to dare to force a second giant insect charge-Zhou Linshan's courage is really beyond ordinary people!"

Bai Li couldn't help applauding. No matter what the result is, at least this kind of calmness without getting carried away in the battle is worth affirming.

"I think the driver Zhou Linshan must have done a lot of practice. Although he lacks actual combat experience, he has reached the level of an excellent driver in terms of the use of the environment and the ability to play the model itself. From the battle, we can also see that although his skills are a little clumsy, they are also very personal," said the commentator. "He should train hard. After all, sometimes you want to make up for some defects, and a lot of heavy and boring training is indispensable."

This statement was not made clear, but everyone understood it.

Zhou Linshan's gender determines that his body will have some inevitable shortcomings, but these shortcomings are also the easiest to make up for - just work hard.

The principle is simple, but few people can do it.

Therefore, the talents who can do it are precious.

"As expected of MU90!" the commentator said, "Even though it was submerged by giant insects, it still managed to drive them away with artillery fire! This driver is very experienced. He used the heavy armored fuselage to regain its balance and blasted away the surrounding giant insects one by one!"

The giant insects retreated slightly under the fierce artillery fire. At this moment, Zhou Linshan threw the object in his hand towards MU90.

MU90 raised its hand and fired habitually. A piece of insect egg fragment was blown up in the air, and mucus and smell exploded in the underground ruins.

This once again angered the giant insect, and the originally slow attack became crazy. MU90 had to fire continuously to protect itself. Unable to bear it any longer and being irritated, it faced the giant insect's impact and fired several medium-caliber ion cannons in the direction of white01.

White01 dodged nimbly and hid from behind one beam to another.

He looked very wolfish, and some people in the audience couldn't help but laugh.

Bai Li sat up straight and praised: "Awesome!"

Lu Zhao smiled: "Cunning."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the cave shook, and this time the shaking was more violent. Debris kept falling from the top of the head and hit MU90's head.

The commentator took a few seconds to sort out the situation and exclaimed: "Because of MU90's destruction, the underground ruins are going to collapse! - I don't know whether to say that MU90's destructive power is too strong, or that white01, who used this destructive power, is stronger..."

MU90 also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately stopped attacking. However, white01 used a conserved energy at this time to fire a destructive light cannon at the last few beams.

Amid the violent shaking and flying sand and dust, the collapse of the underground ruins was inevitable. The fragments falling from the top of the head were larger and more, and gradually a glimmer of light appeared.

White01 used all his strength to dodge using his own agility, and smashed the debris that he couldn't avoid with his lightsaber and artillery fire, and rushed towards the skylight.

However, MU90 was trapped by the giant insect, and the already heavy fuselage had little energy left. He was pressed down and couldn't escape for a while. He was also attacked by the giant insect and hit by debris, and the damage gradually exceeded half. The driver roared and fired in the direction of white01.

Zhou Linshan dodged to the side, and the light cannon passed by him and hit the cave ceiling directly, and a large amount of collapse pressed down on Zhou Linshan.

Just when Bai Li thought that this pressure would cause the damage to soar directly, the holographic projection suddenly went black.

The words "0000" floated in the air, and the time was up.

The people in the main stadium suddenly came to their senses, and everyone was sweating.

"Time is up!" The commentator also came back to his senses, "Within the specified time, both drivers lost consciousness and lost the ability to fight. According to the regulations, we will judge the winner based on the damage of both sides, the remaining energy, and the driver's stability, that is, fatigue!" The three

-party data are statistically analyzed by the system prepared by the competition team. This has also appeared in some previous competitions, but the battles that Bai Li participated in were resolved within the time limit, and he did not directly experience the feeling of waiting for the result.

Lu Zhao was a little disappointed. In his heart, he still hoped that a miracle would happen and Zhou Linshan could win the game directly.

But the result was not satisfactory.

"Very good," Bai Li said calmly, "You can say that he performed exceptionally well."

Lu Zhao said "hmm", and after a while, he couldn't help but hold Bai Li's hand tightly.

I don't know whose palms were sweating first, but they still held hands without saying anything, waiting for the result to come out.

The main stadium fell silent, and this wonderful atmosphere brought a clearer heartbeat.

Two simulation warehouses were quietly placed on the main stage and would not be opened before the results were announced.

Zhou Linshan clasped his hands together and placed them in front of his lips, his eyes fixed on the virtual screen.

For a few long minutes, Bai Li felt like he had been sentenced to suspended death.

There was a vague noise in his eardrums and his heartbeat was violent.

The first piece of data, the damage data, popped up in midair.

"MU90 (52%): white01 (59%)"

"The one with lower damage is preferred."

Bai Li closed his eyes.

Inside the simulated warehouse, Zhou Linshan's heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom.

He tried his best but didn't increase the opponent's damage too much, and even caused a landslide and the second charge of the giant worm.

This feeling that all efforts were in vain made him fall into a huge sense of frustration.

But then, the energy remaining data popped up.

"MU90 (22.32%): white01 (30.1%)"

"The one with more remaining energy is preferred."

The commentator said quickly: "It seems that MU90 consumed too many shells in the second charge of the giant worm, so that the energy consumption was seriously damaged."

The means of causing damage originally paid off in an unexpected place. Zhou Linshan howled in the simulation warehouse.

Lu Zhao's hand holding Bai Li was shaking a little. The remaining data would determine the fate of white01.

But for Bai Li, the significance of this data is far more than the victory or defeat of this game.

The holographic projection popped up the last data in the virtual dark universe and stardust.

"MU90 (fatigue value 89.4463): white01 (fatigue value 86.7099)"

"The one with the lower fatigue value wins."

The slight difference resulted in a shocking ending.

The people in the audience were unable to come back to their senses for a long time. After a moment, a blue light flashed across the names of white01 and Zhou Linshan on the holographic projection.

The huge virtual projection of white01 suddenly appeared on the main stage, surrounded by starlight.

Lu Zhao turned his head and looked at Bai Li.

Bai Li's hands were on the armrests of the wheelchair. He wanted to stand up, but he remembered that he couldn't stand up.

He slowly put his hands down and clenched them into fists.

Then he let out a roar. The whole audience was in an uproar.
