Chapter 53 053 [Daily update 6k nutrient solution plus update]
byLuo Wenchuan stood beside Yun Xingze, listening to the arguments of the crowd, and noticed that Yun Xingze quietly took a step back and hid in the corner.
As if trying to reduce his presence.
Luo Wenchuan’s peripheral vision stayed on Yun Xingze for a moment. There was an imperceptible suspicion in his eyes, but he quickly closed his eyes.
After check-in procedures were over, Luo Wenchuan turned around to look at Yun Xingze, and said in a gentle voice, “Let’s go.”
The other three military academies almost broke out in a fight over this issue.
Arguing was fruitless. On the contrary, it aroused their curiosity about “I am so weak”. They could not wait to find this guy and confront him on the spot.
“You were in a daze just now. What were you thinking?” Luo Wenchuan asked casually while helping Yun Xingze with his luggage.
Yun Xingze said calmly: “I just listened to them discussing the game, and I was fascinated by it.”
“I fought with the person called ‘I am so weak’, and his strength is just average.” Luo Wenchuan did not move. He said sternly, “It’s not as mysterious as they said, just two punches and he will fall.”
When Yun Xingze heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. He was about to say, “I beat you.” Before he could say that, he quickly swallowed his words and cleared his throat: “Cough, yes. But they all praised him, saying that he never lost.” There was a hint of pride in his tone.
Luo Wenchuan glanced at Yun Xingze meaningfully, and said without hesitation: “Then he should have used some means to perform so well.”1
Yun Xingze was stunned for a while, inexplicably unhappy, and replied: “Driving a mecha well needs those things?”
Luo Wenchuan stared at Yun Xingze for a few seconds.
Yun Xingze felt that his performance might be too obvious, and said: “I mean, a player like him must be a SSS-level master in reality.”
After a while, Yun Xingze was not sure whether he believed what he said, so he added added another sentence: “And he must be a very masculine alpha.”
“A very masculine alpha…” Luo Wenchuan looked back at him, and asked a question lightly, “With a username of ‘I am so weak’?”
At this time, everyone entered the elevator. What Luo Wenchuan said was also heard by the rest of the Xinghai school team.
Yun Xingze thought to himself, I am essentially a man, what is there to question!
“That’s hard to say, some alphas are like this.” At this time, Oriel on the side interjected. “The more cute the ID, the harder they fight.”
“That’s right,” Ke Lei nodded in agreement. “And with “I’m so weak”‘s bad character, they’re unlikely to be an omega or beta.”
Luo Wenchuan did not speak as he pursed his thin lips. His eyes fell on Yun Xingze for a moment and then moved away.
Yun Xingze breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they had a game the next day, Richard and the coaching staff convened the school team members for a meeting.
The order of the players has been reported. Unless there is an accidental casualty and a substitute needs to be arranged, the players and order cannot be changed.
Half an hour ago, the NCLM Organizing Committee sent the players’ battle lists to the coaches’ mailboxes.
In the conference room provided by the hotel, Richard said with a solemn expression: “Tomorrow is destined to be a fierce battle. Everyone must be prepared and cannot relax. Especially the members of the team competition…”
He turned his eyes to the Yun Xingze and the rest of the team competition members.
The team competition is 50 minutes long, and the single competition is 30 minutes. Therefore, the team competition requires high physical strength, and is a test of cooperation.
During this period of time, 80% of the training plan Richard made for Yun Xingze was to exercise physical strength, which also improved his physical fitness a lot.
After a while, Yun Xingze’s physical strength should also be able to rise to A rank.
“The team game wins 2 points, and the single game adds 1 point, so losing the team game is a big disadvantage.” Richard continued. “There’s nothing to say about the single player matches. They depend on individual ability and performance. But the team competition has a lot of factors. As I have said before, you must grab the light at the beginning…”
The rules of the team competition are more complicated, and “snatch the light” is one of them.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams set off from both ends of the battlefield at the same time, heading to the intersection in the middle, encountering many obstacles along the way.
When a player arrives at the intersection, a “battle light” will be lit up for the player on the field. The colors of the two teams’ lights are different, usually corresponding to the color of their school emblems.
And when a player loses his combat effectiveness and is eliminated from the game, the “battle lamp” will go out.
In the end, the lighting time of all players on the same team is added up, and the group with the higher total time wins.
Therefore, the team competition is divided into two parts: “rushing” and “PK”, which are designed according to the situations that may be encountered in battle. Both parts are very important.
The sooner one can arrive at the intersection, the greater the advantage.
And “grabbing the lights” is the act of all the players rushing to the intersection of the battlefield faster than their opponents, and the behavior of lighting up the battle lights first. This can reduce the pressure of the subsequent PK portion, and also relieves the fatigue of the slower teammates.
“In terms of team PK, we don’t have much advantage.” Richard displayed the list of battles on the screen. “Ke Lei’s team is against the gold medal combination of Jicot; they have always been quick to grab the light and cooperate well. Kaleb’s team is against the new Jicot team, but the three of you are not very strong…”
Yun Xingze glanced at the battle table. He was slightly surprised that Jicot’s Xi Bolai, the genius freshman who used a shadow mecha warrior with the ID of “Please eat shaved ice” in Mecha Star, actually joined the team competition.
Shouldn’t this kind of arrogant newborn calf not go to a single PK?
“Also, there was a mistake in the prediction. We didn’t I didn’t expect Xi Bolai to take part in the team competition.” Richard’s tone became more and more solemn. He couldn’t help but look at Yun Xingze. “Xi Bolai is a genius, and he reached S+ at a young age… you must go all out against him.”
In Richard’s view, if Chi Yu, Kaleb and the rest of the school team played, the game would not be too difficult. No matter how strong he is, he can’t pull of a three-in-one.
But with Yun Xingze this burden…
Richard didn’t have much hope for this group team match. After a few words, he began to guide the other teammates’ games.
“…Hmph.” Kaleb couldn’t help clenching his fingers. His eyes were vaguely unhappy. “A genius newcomer? How powerful can he be? I have to see if he’s really that strong when it comes to mechas tomorrow.”
Kaleb has a bad temper, and his personality is also a little easily irritated. Naturally, he is very dissatisfied with Richard’s attitude.
But even so, after the meeting, he stayed with Yun Xingze and Chi Yu to discuss countermeasures.
“I’m not familiar with Xi Bolai, but I know the two people in his group.” Chi Yu looked at the battle table as he spoke slowly. “Tomorrow Kaleb will be in charge of dealing with Xi Bolai, and the remaining two will be handed over to me. Xingze, you can just stay near and support me.”
He raised his eyes to look at Yun Xingze, his tone full of pride and arrogance as he added, “I will definitely protect you…”
“You want to take on two by yourself?” Kaleb sneered, his tone full of mockery. “Do you think you are Luo Wenchuan?”
Hearing this name, Chi Yu’s face changed suddenly: “What do you mean?”
Kaleb didn’t want to quarrel with him, he turned to look at Yun Xingze. “In tomorrow’s game, you must ensure that you can grab the lights faster than your opponent. Try to avoid head-to-head confrontation with Xi Bolai in the PK field, and strive to eliminate the other two mechas first, and then focus on dealing with Xi Bolai.”
In contrast, Kalebo’s strategy is much more rational and reasonable than Chi Yu’s.
“So we still have to focus on defense in the early stage of PK.” Yun Xingze nodded in agreement. “Xi Bolai is their main force, but if his right-hand man is removed, it will be difficult for him to fight against us.”
Seeing that Yun Xingze was completely ignoring him, Chi Yu took a deep breath on the side and looked at Yun Xingze and actively said: “Xingze, don’t worry. If Xi Bolai comes to you, I will definitely protect you…”
“Everyone must first ensure that their lights are always on.” Yun Xingze looked at Chi Yu and coldly said: “If he comes at me, I have a way to hide myself. I don’t need your protection.”
After speaking, he stood up and left the conference room directly, with Kaleb following behind.
Chi Yu clenched his fingers into fists and hammered the table hard, creating a muffled sound.
“Damn…” Chi Yu’s chest couldn’t stop rising and falling. His cheeks were twisted by anger and jealousy. “Why is it when Luo Wenchuan protects him, he can accept it. I said I want to protect him, and he did this to me?!”
In the past, Chi Yu would probably be so angry that he wouldn’t be able to sleep all night.
Soon, Chi Yu calmed down slowly. Sneering with a paranoid fanatic glow in his eyes, he whispered under his breath: “When we get married in the future, you will beg me to protect you.”
Compared to the solemn atmosphere of Xinghai Academy, behind the doors of Jicot First Military Academy, things were much more relaxed.
Their coach had only one sentence: “Cheng Jun should be careful against Luo Wenchuan; everyone else can just fight as usual.”
Jicot’s team members were not nervous at all, some even went out to dance at night. None of the put Xinghai Academy in their eyes at all.
NCLM has always been a contest that the entire empire pays attention to, and ticket prices can soar sky-high.In the early morning of the second day, many spectators went to the game venue.
The venue is a very artistic bowl-shaped building, which can simulate various weather conditions based on the lighting.
Today is a sunny day. The exterior wall of the stadium reflecting sunlight became translucent. From a distance, it looks like a water droplet shining on a leaf.
But Yun Xingze’s competition is not held here.
The venue required for the team competition is very large. The tracks on both ends added up equal up to ten kilometers, and the PK area in the middle is also very large. As such, the arena was built in the suburbs, which is some distance from the main venue.
However, team matches can be watched on a 360-degree virtual screen in the main stadium. This way spectators can watch the entire game from the main stadium.
The order of the NCLM games generally alternates between single and team matches. 1 point is awarded for a single match victory and 2 points are for the team matches. After all five matches are over, the school with the highest score wins.
There is also a rule that no matter what the situation is, all five games must be completed.
Because NCLM represents the will and glory of all cadets.
The sixteen military academies were divided over four days, and the match between Jicot and Xinghai Academy was on the morning of the first day, which was the first game.
The audience was naturally very excited about the first game. As soon as the players entered the stadium, they were greeted with warm cheers and shouts.
However, most of them are fans of Jicot, and they don’t care about the declining Xinghai Academy.
After both parties registered, the team leader took the members of the first team match to the team arena.
At the same time, the first individual game is about to start.
The first single match player is often the team leader, but not necessarily the strongest. They often are the type that can support the scene but is not the trump card.
Xinghai Academy sent out the S-class shadow mecha fighter, Ashley, while the opponent sent the S-class comet mecha fighter, Zhao Mo, who is a male alpha.
Ashley put her blond hair in a sassy ponytail today.
Zhao Mo has an arrogant personality, and he said harshly to Ashley before they fought: “You are still in the mood to fix your hair? But then again, when you get beaten up in a while, I’m afraid it won’t look good.”
The members of Jicot Military Academy couldn’t help laughing at his words.
“Oh, yes.” Ashley stroked her ponytail, her golden hair swaying gracefully in the air.
After a while, she raised her lips and smiled beautifully. “I’m quite envious of a person like you who doesn’t look good whether you’re beaten or not.”
The students of the Jicot Military Academy couldn’t laugh anymore.
The hostility between the two school teams was even more terrifying than when they first met yesterday.
The audience naturally became more excited when they saw this scene.
“The people from the Xinghai Academy seem to be provoking Jicot? How dare they?”
“They’ll be beaten down later, hahahaha…”
“Fight, fight!”
There are also a few supporters of Xinghai Academy. This small group are students from Xinghai Academy who came from Capital Star to watch the match.
[The first round of the group stage, Xinghai Academy VS Jicot First Military Academy, the first individual competition match will start in three minutes!]
The voice of the competition broadcast is a mechanical male voice that is colder than the voice used for the campus mecha competition, and made members of Xinghai Academy nervous.
It was their first game and seemed to foreshadow what was to come.
Soon, the game began.
Ashley drove a shadow mecha and quickly entered a hidden state. The small mecha quickly disappeared on the field.
Zhao Mo’s comet mecha looked for opportunities observing the flow of the air. From time to time, it threw out it’s light whip in the air to test the situation.
At this moment, Ashley’s shadow mecha appeared behind him, and kicked the back of his head fiercely.
Zhao Mo evaded quickly but was beaten, and grinned in pain.
He immediately found an opportunity to fight back, and quickly attacked Ashley with a light knife, almost slashing the right arm of her mecha.
The two people’s PK soon entered a white-hot state.1Think white-hot flame
The comet mecha was extremely fast, and the shadow mecha was not to be outdone. Outside, the audience were scream as the two mechas fiercely fought.
For a few moments, even Yun Xingze couldn’t help holding his breath nervously.
Thirteen minutes into the game, Ashley placed numerous small mines and electromagnetic interference arrays throughout the arena, forming a net.
In the end, in the process of constantly dodging, Zhao Mo’s mecha’s head was directly grabbed by Ashley and strangled, and then his legs were swept out from under him, falling to the ground.
The small landmine detonated one after another on the back of Zhao Mo’s mecha. Although it wasn’t lethal, the damage was there, causing him to scream and twitch.
In the end, Ashley successfully won the first game.
“As expected of sister Ashley.” Oriel patted his chest, with lingering fears. “This style of fighting by throwing landmines on the ground is really terrible…”
Ashley looked at the defeated Zhao Mo, raised her lips, mocking said: “Although your strength is not very good, the appearance of screaming while lying on the ground really – looks – good.”
After that, she left the stage under Zhao Mo’s resentful eyes and the cheers and applause of the entire audience.
“In the first game, Xinghai Academy wins and gets 1 point!”
The referee team announced the victory of Xinghai Academy, and the score on the virtual screen became 1-0.
The faces of Jicot Military Academy’s students suddenly became very ugly.
They didn’t expect that this weak school, which they looked down on, actually won the first game?!
Richard raised his lips and praised: “Ashley has become stronger and stronger in recent years. She looks arrogant on the surface, but in fact she has a very stable mentality and is an underrated S-rank player…”
Ashley returned to the waiting area under the warm welcome of teammates.
While covering her heart, she exaggeratedly said: “Nearly scared me to death. I really almost had my arm removed by that guy just now. Look at me, my hands are shaking, and my hair is messed up!”
Everyone: ” …”
This woman seemed to be a perfect rendition of “seeming stable like an old dog, but is actually panicking.”
After the first individual competition is over, it is the first team competition.
The virtual screen above the arena became larger than before, and began to broadcast the situation of the team track arena.
Ke Lei and others may have also heard the situation here, and they couldn’t help showing expressions of joy, becoming more confident in this game.
[…The first game of the team competition will start in five minutes!]
Xi Bolai asked Cheng Jun with some concern: “Captain, we won’t lose the team competition right…”
“How could it be.” Cheng Jun raised his lips, looking confident. “Our goal today are just these two team matches. Xinghai Academy is still complacent after winning this single competition… just wait and see.”
Jicot’s members were relieved when they heard their captain say this.
The team competition began.
The strengths of Ke Lei, Sato En, and Ou Rui are S, A+, and A+ respectively, while the three players sent by the opponent are S, S, and A+. In terms of strength, the two sides do not differ much.
In terms of cooperation, although Jicot sent an old-fashioned combination, the tacit understanding of Ke Lei and others was also very strong.
Not long after the start of the race, the two sides almost kept the same speed on the racing track.
Everyone stared at the live broadcast screen, guessing which side would reach the intersection first.
Fifteen minutes later, both sides crossed the five-kilometer track full of obstacles and arrived at the intersection almost at the same time.
The school badge of Xinghai is dark blue, while Jicot is light yellow.
Around the circular interchange arena, there are six huge silver lampposts. When the players enter the PK arena, the lampposts emit powerful beams in turn.
In the light beams of dark blue and goose yellow, the coat of arms of the school emblems of both sides is clearly displayed.
When the light beam to the sky lights up, the dark blue and the goose-yellow light compete with each other, causing the audience to cheer.
Among them, the students of Xinghai Academy and Jicot First Military Academy were the loudest.
“Go Xinghai!”
“Come on! The blue lights never go out!”
“Yellow lights are the best looking. Crush them, Jicot!”
“The blue lights will stay on until the end!”
“Jicot must win!”
Yun Xingze stared at the audience in a daze. Although everyone was watching the broadcast, but their enthusiasm was no less than watching it live.
The towering light beams of war lamps represent a kind of glory and the strength of one’s military academy.
Yun Xingze couldn’t help holding his breath and watched the team game seriously.
As the highest combat power in the team, Ke Lei was naturally the target of protection for protection by his teammates, and the target of the opponent’s focus.
In the beginning, Jicot had the upper hand and seized a flaw in Ou Rui’s lightsaber mecha, trying to knock her out, but was quickly blocked by Sato’s shadow mech.
Ke Lei took the opportunity to activate his meteor mecha’s guns and attacked the opponent.
Soon the battle situation was reversed, and Xinghai Academy grasped the rhythm.
However, just when Yun Xingze and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Jicot’s three men suddenly formed a group and launched an attack on Ke Lei regardless of their lives.
Ou Rui naturally wanted to support Ke Lei, but was slashed in the process of blocking the knife for him, and fell to the ground, losing his fighting power.
In the team competition, one of the rules is as a mecha falls to the ground, it will be out of the match immediately.
Mechanical vines stretched out from the ground at the intersection, entangled Ou Rui’s mecha, and quickly dragged her out of the middle of the arena.
A blue beam representing Xinghai Academy went out as Ou Rui left the field.
Jicot’s students burst into deafening cheers of excitement.
“Wipe them out! Wipe them out! Extinguish all blue!”
Gradually, these words became Jicot’s uniform slogan.
After Ou Rui was eliminated, although Ke Lei and Sato En cooperated tacitly, it was difficult to turn the tide.
In the end, after Ke Lei eliminated a double-star mecha on the opposite side, he and Sato En were defeated one after another.
The sum of Jicot’s lights had an absolute advantage, crushing Xinghai.
The sooner the team competition ends, the greater the disparity in the lighting time between the two sides.
This time, the members of the Jicot school team who were not very happy because Zhao Mo lost the game, all smiled.
“That’s right, we’re supposed to crush Xinghai.”
“They haven’t qualified for so long. We not only want to win, but also to win consecutively.”
“Yeah! I like to see them being crushed by our Jicot. Fight!”
Jicot’s morale was high. Although the atmosphere on Xinghai Academy’s was not very good, everyone remained calm.
Richard looked at He Haomin who was about to play, and said slowly, “Don’t be nervous, play well.” But his words contained great hope for him.
He Haomin’s strength is S+, and Yun Xingze doesn’t know whether he has gone back to modify the mecha shield after he told He Haomin about his mecha flaws last time.
When He Haomin left the waiting area, the referee team asked Yun Xingze, Chi Yu, and Kaleb to go to the team arena to prepare.
“Before you go, I want to remind you.” Richard got up and looked at the three of them, frowning. “Jicot likes to surround and beat someone as a group. If you mess up the rhythm because of this, you will fall into their trap, just like Ou Rui just now. If she hadn’t scrambled to save Ke Lei, she could have avoided the blow.”
Yun Xingze and Kaleb nodded, while Chi Yu beside them had a thoughtful expression.
After Yun Xingze got up, Luo Wenchuan also stood up.
He looked at Yun Xingze, and said in a soft but firm voice,
“You will win.”
Yun Xingze nodded and raised the corners of his lips:
“Well, you too.”
Chi Yu watched from the side, his fingers clenched tightly.
He thought bitterly, in today’s game, he must protect Yun Xingze no matter what, and let Yun Xingze know that he is the alpha who cares about him the most.
At this moment, Chi Yu had completely forgotten what Richard said.
Well the brain hole of you know who keeps expanding.
