Chapter 38 Chapter 038 [Daily 4k Nutrient Solution Plus]

More than a month had passed since the Xinghai Academy Mecha Contest began, and the competition was nearing its end.

After beating Su Zinan, Yun Xingze pursued victory all the way, driving his B-class double star mecha, defeating the competition to win one game after another.

In the sixth round, against a B+ comet mecha fighter, Yun Xingze won with his experience against Kaleb, and easily removed the opponent’s robotic arm in only eight minutes.

In the seventh round, against the A-level lightsaber mecha, Yun Xingze won with quick reflexes and skill. Facing the slash of the lightsaber, he did not flinch, and finally won the game in 15 minutes.

In the eighth round, Yun Xingze came across a B+ phantom mecha. It was his first time coming in close contact with the small mecha coated with concealing materials, but he relied on keen observation to survive the first thirteen minutes, and used the particle cannons to knock the invisible opponent out after that.

In the ninth round, Yun Xingze was in a dangerous situation against the A+ level double star mecha, but his understanding of the double star mecha was obviously better than his opponent,. His mechanical beast was also more flexible. The victory was taken in the 18th minute.

Some people think that Yun Xingze’s ability to win Su Zinan and Kaleb is just shit luck, but Yun Xingze told them with his outstanding achievements time and time again that his strength has long surpassed most people.

After the nine rounds, Yun Xingze completed an amazing nine consecutive victories.

In fact, there are five or six others with a nine-game winning streak. But Yun Xingze is not only the only omega among them, but also the lowest level player.

At the same time, Yun Xingze set the bet result for an omega in the Xinghai Academy Mecha Contest, suppassing Su Zinan’s eight wins last year. What’s more remarkable is that he matched again a stronger opponent almost every time.

In the campus forum, the discussion of Yun Xingze has spread from the mecha boards to other areas.

Omegas regard Yun Xingze as an idol.

“Yun Xingze is really awesome. I really want to be like him and chase and fight alphas on the field!”

“We’re all omegas, why is Yun Xingze so good?”

“And he is just a B-level mecha fighter! I feel like I’m okay again.”

“Yes, Yun Xingze proved by strength that a B-level person can win A-level players as long as he can use his brain.”

“His modding ability is also top-notch, I really admire him.”

Unlike Su Zinan’s powerful omega image, Yun Xingze can be said to be the lowest level omega in the military academy. However, he relied on his own ability to obtain worship and recognition from all the other omegas.

Sometimes even on the road, omegas would rush over to ask him questions about mechas, ask him for an autograph, and ask him if he can help mod their mechas.

Yun Xingze will answer some simple questions, but he will decline to sign. As for refitting, he directly said, “I am Luo Wenchuan’s exclusive mechanic, and I do not take personal work.”

So those omegas who begged him for help refitting all showed the expression of seeing a ghost, gritted their teeth, and complained: “Why did you become a mecha engineer for Luo Wenchuan?”

The words faintly hinted it was a waste for Yun Xingze.

After all, Luo Wenchuan is a cold iceberg who fears omegas, and will definitely treat this ‘omega hero’ harshly!

There have been many discussion on the forum talking about this issue. Alpha, beta, and omega alike, they are all very interested in this matter.

“My god, is Yun Xingze really working as a mecha master for Luo Wenchuan?”

“It’s true, I saw them eating together in the cafeteria last time.”

“It seems that Luo Wenchuan wants to break through the SS level.”

“Sure enough, only the strongest mecha fighter can have the strongest mecha master.”

“Isn’t Luo Wenchuan afraid of omegas? Why does he want to grab Yun Xingze from us!”

“Curious about what conditions Luo Wenchuan gave Yun Xingze.”

It’s not difficult to see from the replies that everyone envied and hated Luo Wenchuan.

In a military academy, everyone wants to improve their strength, and a powerful mecha master is not always available for money. Any mecha masters with a little bit of strength outside the school have been poached military long ago; how can there be any opportunities for students?

“Xingze, you are too popular in the forum these days.” Lu Ranxu said to Yun Xingze. “I feel that three out of every five posts are about you, and the remaining two are Luo Wenchuan.”

“Ah, really?” Yun Xingze wasn’t very interested. He was also a super popular mecha master in his previous life, so there’s nothing to be surprised about.

“Aren’t you happy at all?” Lu Ranxu asked in amazement, “Even if you aren’t interested in being popular, you’re a popular candidate for the school team now.”

At present, there are only six people who have won nine games in a row. Aside from Yun Xingze, four of the other five people are S-level or above, namely Luo Wenchuan, He Haomin, Ke Lei, and Ashley, and the remaining one was Chi Yu.

Ten of Chi Yu’s game points were deducted due to last year’s water releasing incident, so on the boards, it only counts as him winning eight matches. He can ruled out.

“In other words…” Lu Ranxu swallowed his meal, opened his mouth, and looked directly as his friend. “You’re tied with the other four S-level and above players in the school.”

Yun Xingze was stunned. He had never thought of entering the school team, nor had he paid attention to the rankings.

In his eyes, there is only the 500,000 star coin reward after ten consecutive victories.

Lu Ranxu was so excited that he almost snapped the chopsticks in his hand, his joy almost reaching his eyebrows. “Xingze, you’re amazing! As long as you don’t encounter the four S-level abnormalities in the last round, then you will truly become a l-e-g-e-n-d1The -‘s are denoting him pausing or emphasing the word in Xinghai Academy!”

Yun Xingze didn’t quite understand why Lu Ranxu was so excited.

However, for the 500,000 coins, he still smiled, and said to Lu Ranxu: “I also hope not to meet them.”

He can still fight those opponents below S-level. A+ is already hard enough. If he meets one of the four strongest, then he estimates he will have to say farewell to the 500,000 bonus.

“Don’t worry, Xingze.” Lu Ranxu took a drink to comfort Yun Xingze, “You can’t have such bad luck. If you really match the four perverts, I will perform a handstand and drink a drink!”

Yun Xingze grabbed his cup and clinked glasses with him. “Thank you for your blessings.”

A day later.

In a room in the omega male dormitory building.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn.

“How?” Yun Xingze frowned and looked at the grouping list on the optical brain screen, his tone was full of confusion. “How did I match He Haomin in the last round so coincidentally?”

“Gulu gulu…”2Onomatopeia. Think of the sounds

Lu Ranxu used his hands to stand on the ground in a corner, rolling his eyes while sucking from a long straw inserted in a glass bottle.

After a while, he spit out the straw and gritted his teeth: “Never mind the others, He Haomin? That guy who rushed out to spoil things when Su Zinan was kowtowing to you… how could it be him?”

“Don’t stay like that. You have already drunk three bottles. You just want to drink, right?” Yun Xingze held his forehead somewhat helplessly. “Get down quickly.”

Lu Ranxu finished his inverted posture, clearing the empty bottles on the ground, and curled his lips: ” Xingze, what He Haomin drives is a storm mecha. You seem to have never encountered before.”

“Indeed…” Yun Xingze frowned. “Plus he’s a S-level opponent. It’s a bit tricky now.”

“The trickiest thing is that He Haomin seems to be a little hostile towards you.” Lu Ranxu looked worried. “If he is as crazy as Kaleb, what will you do?”

Yun Xingze fell into silence, with too many thoughts in his eyes Lu Ranxu couldn’t understand.

“By the way, although my game is not very good.” Lu Ranxu switched the topic. “However, I have worked out a software these days that can measure the winning rate of the match.”

Yun Xingze looked up at him in surprise. “Do you still have this ability?”

“I am very good at programming.” Lu Ranxu said while turning on his optical brain. “Actually, I wanted to use this software before the game…”

“To improve your game winning rate?” Yun Xingze asked seriously. “Ranxu, you’re really…”

“In order to win more forum coins.” Lu Ranxu replied casually. “So what if I know the winning percentage, I’ll still end up losing.”

The corners of Yun Xingze’s mouth twitched.

He suddenly felt that the software seemed unreliable.

At this time, Lu Ranxu opened his software, entered Yun Xingze’s data into the software, and at the same time entered Su Zinan’s data in the “Opponent” column.

Finally, the software displayed:

[Yun Xingze vs Su Zinan, the winning percentage: 62.25%. ]

Seeing the numbers, Yun Xingze was shocked.

This winning percentage was similar to what he had estimated after modding his mecha at the time.

Later, Lu Ranxu tested the PK winning rate of Yun Xingze and Kaleb, which also reached more than 60%.

“Ranxu, you are really a talent,” Yun Xingze said with admiration. At the same time, he was a bit conflicted. “So at that time, the forum currency was all-in on me because of this software?”

“That’s not the case, I still felt that the software was not accurate at the time. Well, it’s mainly because I believe you.”

Lu Ranxu said while replacing Su Zinan’s data with He Haomin’s. “I collected He Haomin’s data from the official website. There are also some national competition videos. I don’t dare its guaranteed to be 100% correct, but it should be close.”

Yun Xingze’s expression became serious.

When inputting He Haomin’s mecha data, Lu Ranxu couldn’t help but vomit: “This surname is He, how come his mechas are all parts produced by your Yun Family Changsheng mecha company, and it’s still brand new… is he a mecha fan of the company?”

“I don’t know.” Yun Xingze was also stunned. “But the accessories of the Yun family aren’t cheap. He Haomin, who came from a barren star, can actually afford so many accessories?”

Lu Ranxu pressed to confirm, and the screen displays “The result is being calculated.”

Numerous fluorescent green number scrolls at an innumerable speed on the screen.

Yun Xingze swallowed.

[Result calculation is complete. ]

[Yun Xingze vs He Haomin, the winning percentage: 1.21%.]

“One…” Lu Ranxu’s eyes widened in surprise. “One percent?!”

Yun Xingze’s heart quickly sank to the bottom.

He didn’t know how Lu Ran Xu’s software was developed, but judging from the other tests, it’s still somewhat reliable.

Moreover, he knew that He Haomin was indeed a difficult enemy to deal with.

However, even Yun Xingze was surprised at the 1.21% win rate.

“Is He Haomin so strong…” Lu Ranxu was scared and muttered. “If there is only such a win rate, it’s better to just abstain…”

Yun Xingze closed his eyes and opened them. His original shock was gone, and replaced with firmness and seriousness. “At least there is a 1.21% win rate, isn’t there?”

Startled, Lu Ranxu looked at Yun Xingze, as if he didn’t expect Yun Xingze to say such words.

But this is indeed Yun Xingze’s style.

“Before the last round of the competition, there are three days of rest.” Lu Ranxu looked at Yun Xingze with a solemn expression. “Xingze, you must find a way to increase your win rate.”

Yun Xingze nodded slowly and firmly.

I told you YXZ loves money above all else! He wants to win, not for the data collection, or the challenge, but the cha-ching!

And Lu Ranxu, gotta love that kid. Drinking 3 bottles (for fun perhaps) while handstanding…

In the afternoon, Yun Xingze went straight to the modification room. He had been studying how to use double star mechas to defeat the thick-skinned storm mecha. But a breakthrough had been eluding him.

In the beginning, his idea was to strengthen the defense of his mecha, and make both mechas stronger. At the same time increasing the number of lethal weapons that can cause fatal damage to storm mechas.

However, this solution is a bit difficult to employ on a B-level mecha. No matter how strong and aggressive it is, it is insignificant in front of a S+ level storm mecha.

Then Yun Xingze changed his mind. He wanted to make the two mechas more flexible. After all, although the defense of the large mecha was high, it also sacrificed speed.

This solution is feasible, but after Yun Xingze simulated multiple modification solutions in his mind, he found a serious problem. That is, the fault tolerance rate is very low.

No matter how flexible a mecha is, as long as the front is stretched, it can be directly hammered in front of the behemoth storm mecha.

Yun Xingze took a deep breath. He had to admit that the result predicted by Lu Ranxu’s software was completely correct.

His current mecha hardware can’t compete with a storm mecha’s armor at all.

At this time, Zhuo Feiyue came to the modification room to look for Yun Xingze. He saw that Yun Xingze was a little bit distressed and stepped forward to comfort him: “Xingze, do you plan to fight the next round?”

Even if Yun Xingze doesn’t fight, it should be no problem to enter the school team.

But Yun Xingze is faced with a reward of 500,000 stars. How could he give up the duck that has almost reached his mouth!

After a while, Yun Xingze replied: “I want to try.”

Zhuo Feiyue saw Yun Xingze’s firm eyes, knowing that he is unlikely to change his decision, and said: “Xingze, I know you have a strong personality. But the storm mecha is a very special mecha. When it opens its shield, almost only mechas with higher levels can injure him. In other words, it is difficult for everyone in the school except Luo Wenchuan to confront it head-on. ”

Yun Xingze looked thoughtful when he heard Zhuo Feiyue’s words.

Zhuo Feiyue continued: “Unless… you can destroy a storm mecha’s shield, or launch the most violent attack on it the moment it lowers the shield.”

Yun Xingze nodded: “I know all of these, but …”

“But you probably won’t find a chance.” Zhuo Feiyue sighed “If He Haomin’s shield is raised throughout, and only put down to quickly attack, and randomly launches a few particle cannons at you, then you’ll be finished.”

A storm mecha’s particle cannon is a super large artillery fire with a wide range. It is also the strongest weapon allowed in the contest.

Hearing Zhuo Feiyue say this, Yun Xingze suddenly had some inspiration. He said to Zhuo Feiyue: “Teacher, thank you for your inspiration, I have some ideas.”

Zhuo Feiyue was stunned. He originally wanted to comfort Yun Xingze, telling him it’s not a shame to lose.

But Yun Xingze actually said he was inspired?

After a while, Zhuo Feiyue suddenly laughed: “You really are the most special student I have ever met.”

As expected, he was the mecha master Luo Wenchuan liked.

After sending off Zhuo Feiyue, Yun Xingze continued to study the modification on his optical brain.

—–

For the duel between Yun Xingze and He Haomin, Su Zinan can be said to be happy.

“Unexpectedly, you really met.” Su Zinan found He Haomin and said. “Senior, you are simply the god of luck, too powerful.”

He Haomin’s mood became very good when he heard Su Zinan praise him.

“Since god gave me this opportunity, then I must let them know,” He Haomin curled his lips and said eagerly, “us students from the barren star are not something students like them can defeat at will.”

“Haomin, you’re the pride of us barren star students.” Su Zinan looked at He Haomin and said admiringly. “I helped you so many times at the beginning, and really didn’t see you wrongly.”

He Haomin looked at Su Zinan, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Both he and Su Zinan were poor students from a barren star. When they first entered school, they wore much worse clothes than other students, and  were squeezed out and looked down everywhere.

Even if he entered the school team and became an S+ player, He Haomin always felt that the eyes around him were showing contempt for him.

Although his strength has improved, his mecha could not be upgraded due to financial constraints.

As a result, He Haomin had asked many people and worked a few jobs to make money, but he still couldn’t save enough materials and modification costs for an S+ mecha, and his storm mecha was always stuck at the A+ level.

He Haomin was even more annoyed because of his inability to show his S+ level talent.

At this time, he met Su Zinan.

Su Zinan said that he had obtained good-quality storm mecha parts from barren star smugglers, and gave them all to He Haomin for 600,000 to 700,000 coins.

These star coins were saved by He Haomin’s ten-game winning streak last year and the money he earned from working.

“Changsheng Mecha Company…” He Haomin looked at the brand of accessories and was stunned. “This company is very famous in Emperor Star. Although I don’t know who the boss is, I heard that they have ongoing cooperation with the military.”

Su Zinan nodded: “Yes, my selling it to you cheaply, just treat it as aiding a fellow barren star student.”

Desperate, He Haomin seemed to have met the dawn in the dark. He was so grateful towards Su Zinan’s help that he was almost moved to tears.

Precisely because of this incident, He Haomin always believed that Su Zinan was a kind omega, and he was only punished because he was calculated by Yun Xingze and others.

What He Haomin didn’t know was that after Su Zinan sold those accessories to He Haomin, he met Chi Yu.

Chi Yu asked: “Have you sold that batch of goods?”

Not long ago, Chi Yu asked Yun Xingze for a batch of accessories for a storm mecha. There were many of them that he didn’t like, so he entrusted Su Zinan to resell them.

“Well, it’s sold to He Haomin.” Su Zinan nodded. “However, you also know that although the goods are new, there are some small flaws in the design. Although it is innocuous, He Haomin still keeps the price down and only sold for 300,000.”

“He Haomin is really stingy.” Chi Yu frowned. “It’s really cheap for him. If it’s 300,000, you can take 100,000 then.”

Su Zinan laughed happily, and asked Chi Yu a question at the time: “Will he be angry if we sell the accessories Xingze gave you like this?”

And Chi Yu’s answer at the time was: “It’s not like I threw them away. He gave them to me, can’t I change it to money?”

However, Su Zinan obviously did not intend to let He Haomin know the truth.

Let He Haomin maintain his hatred of and hostility towards Yun Xingze, and use his hand to defeat Yun Xingze. Su Zinan thought it was a pretty good idea.

On the Internet, most people were pessimistic about the game between Yun Xingze and He Haomin.

“Ah, although I really think Yun Xingze is the best omega, he still has no chance of winning against He Haomin?”

“Be bold, but there is no chance of winning.”

“B-level beating A+ is already very difficult. Playing a S+? It’s a fantasy…”

“It’s unfortunate. If Yun Xingze won the tenth match, it’ll be a game-winning streak unbeatable by other omegas.”

“How can I said it, yes, nine consecutive victories are enough for him to become a legend and be worshipped for a long time.”

“Yes, there is also a bonus of 50,000 yuan for entering the school team. Although it’s not as much as 500,000, but it is a lot of money.”

“I wanted to see Yun Xingze’s last fight, but now I don’t think it’s necessary. He’ll definitely lose terribly.”

Chi Yu looked at the various voices discussing Yun Xingze on the forum. He was a little angry, but wanted to reply and scold these people. But he also felt what they were saying made sense.

Chi Yu felt that since he wanted to restore Yun Xingze’s heart, he had to start by caring for him.

So Chi Yu asked someone specifically for Yun Xingze’s location, and waited for him to come out be the doors of the modification room.

After all, he and He Haomin used to be teammates. He also drove a storm mecha. When Yun Xingze saw him, as long as he stretched out an olive branch, Yun Xingze would definitely ask him for help.

Just as Chi Yu was confidently waiting for Yun Xingze at the entrance of the modification room.

Luo Wenchuan was upset because of Yun Xingze for a long time. He did not think to pay attention to Yun Xingze’s affairs, because it was too exhausting. But when he heard that Yun Xingze was matched against He Haomin, his heart nearly froze.

He Haomin was only fourth in the school team last year.1Don’t ask me about the numbers. The author changed them around. Whether he’s 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, He Haomin is up there, but below Luo Wenchuan. But from the performance of this year’s competition, he has clearly surpassed Ke Lei and Ashley, which is enough to show this man’s ambition.

Luo Wenchuan knew very well that He Haomin’s strength was even more terrifying than everyone knew.

How can Yun Xingze defeat such an opponent?

Luo Wenchuan simulated a variety of situations in his mind. Without exception, Yun Xingze was the disadvantaged party.

And it is a huge disadvantage.

But Luo Wenchuan never thought of encouraging Yun Xingze to give up.

In addition to worrying about Yun Xingze, he is more curious. How will Yun Xingze come back against the winds this time, like before?

Luo Wenchuan sat at the table, thinking about the game between Yun Xingze and He Haomin in his mind.

When he reacted, an entire morning passed.

He wanted to prevent himself from being affected by Yun Xingze, but he couldn’t stop being attracted. It even took over his entire mind.

Luo Wenchuan took a deep breath and decided to find Yun Xingze in the modification room.

When he walked outside the building of the modification room, he saw a familiar and annoying figure – Chi Yu.

Chi Yu was talking to Yun Xingze.

After making a rare decision to find Yun Xingze, Luo Wenchuan ran into this scene. HIs heart was uncomfortable and saying it must be a lie.

Looking at the two figures with narrowed eyes, he pursed his lips, his throat rolled, and his jawline was taut.

Yun Xingze naturally had nothing except cynicism, and was speechless, at Chi Yu’s visit.

After dealing with Chi Yu, Yun Xingze’s suddenly noticed a familiar figure’s back.

It’s Luo Wenchuan.

He doesn’t know why, but these days he rarely sees Luo Wenchuan. Maybe he’s too busy?

Yun Xingze didn’t think much about it, leaving Chi Yu behind and quickly walked towards the departing Luo Wenchuan. The corners of his lips couldn’t help but rise.

Seeing Yun Xingze talking to Chi Yu, Luo Wenchuan suppressed the stifling feeling in his heart and turned away.

The cherry blossoms on both sides of the road were blooming more prosperously than the previous few days, like a splendid oil painting in the sun. But Luo Wenchuan had no intention to appreciate it.

He didn’t know what he was upset about.

At this time.

Footsteps came up from behind.

Before he could react, there was a sudden force, carefully tugging the corner of his uniform.

Luo Wenchuan was taken aback, and stopped suddenly.

LWC needs to grow some balls… Always retreating without determining the truth.

And SZN… well, its nearly climax before this secondary villain is dealt with.
