Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Chapter 48 Fight!
"Boy, what do you mean?"

"It means literally, no deception at all."

Zhang Xuqiang looked at Li Yi's calm and composed expression and became more and more confused.

Does this kid have some confidence that he will win?
Or are there other means waiting?

Or is it just a bluff?

No, no matter what conspiracy or trickery he has, isn't it enough to just crush him with our grand momentum?
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xuqiang decided that Li Yi was trying to bluff him, so he sneered:
"Well, since you are so eager, I will accept the bet on behalf of my brothers!"

Li Yi nodded:
"Then let's sign a gambling contract according to federal law. The time limit is 30 minutes after the end of today's training camp. You are the guarantor for the other people. Is that okay?"

"No problem, but I need to add additional clauses."

"for example?"

"There are eight of us betting against you alone. Your cost is too low, so it's not worth it for us."

"Then what do you want?"

"I need you to raise the stakes."

"tell me the story."

"First, you must challenge everyone you just mentioned. Even if you lose and your ranking doesn't rise, you must challenge the next one."

"Second, the exchange rate of divine radiation time is 1 to 2 for D for E, and 1 to 1 for the same level! Everyone's starting bet is 1 minute for D level and 2 minutes for E level. This is the basis. But if your total wins are less than 4, the bet will be doubled. If your total wins are less than 6, the bet will be tripled!"

"Third, the fulfillment period must last until the corresponding divine gene of the gambler is fully allocated!"

Zhang Xuqiang made a very high request.

He also wanted to scare Li Yi and confirm whether what Li Yi was sure of before was genuine or fake.

Li Yi thought about it and nodded slightly:

"I agree with the rules you proposed. Similarly, you must respect the same rules. That is, if my total wins are higher than 4 and lower than 6, your bets will be doubled. If it is higher than 6, it will be tripled. Do you agree?"

Zhang Xuqiang readily agreed:
"Since I proposed it, of course there is no problem!"

"Very good, that's settled!"

As they were talking, the two of them immediately used the auxiliary AI built into their personal communicators to draw up a gambling contract, signed their names, and uploaded it to the starship's intranet website that specifically handles gambling matters for notarization.

After finishing all this, everyone hurried into the nutrition cabin to rest and wait for the next round of gravity training.

……

noon.

canteen.

Zhang Xuqiang gathered the other seven people involved in the bet and explained the situation.

The seven people were suddenly in an uproar.

"Brother Qiang, you're gambling away our divine radiation time without informing us. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"If I veto it, can the bet involving me be deemed invalid?"

Zhang Xuqiang slapped the table in dissatisfaction after hearing so many comments. He said coldly:

"Why, my words are useless now? Besides, he's a person who ranks ten places lower than you, and you're still afraid of him? If you win, you can earn an extra minute, or even two or three minutes of divine radiation time from him every day!"

"Hahaha, Brother Xu Qiang has given me any order, and I, Chen Liji, will do my best to obey!"

"If they are only ten or so people lower in rank, then that's easy to deal with."

"That makes sense. How could Brother Qiang's arrangement let us suffer a loss?"

Zhang Xuqiang's face looked a little better.

"So, Brother Qiang, who is your opponent?"

"Li Yi, ranked 42nd!"

"what?"

"Brother Qiang, Li Yi clearly has a bright future, why should we bet against him?"

Someone wondered.

"Brother Xu Qiang, can I quit? I'm only ranked 37th, and the gap between me and Li Yi is not that big. The probability of losing is very high."

Someone said softly that this person's name was Furuta Ichi, and he ranked fifth in the martial arts competition two years ago.

"No! The bet has been made. If you back out now, you'll be slapping me in the face! Understand?" "Okay, I was just joking."

"Don't open it next time."

At this time, Zhang Xuqiang's cousin Zhang Wuqiang sneered:
"Those who just sang the opposite tune are brainless. So what if he is the strongest rookie in history? His mecha compatibility is so low and his startup speed is so slow. Even if he has outstanding combat power, he will be cannon fodder if his endurance is insufficient on the battlefield!"

"Since he's blocking Brother Xu Qiang's way and has a bleak future, we should make a decisive move and earn some Pluto divinity from him. This will also make it worthwhile for the fleet to train him, isn't it?"

"Yes, Wu Qiang is right."

"The special selection class encourages fair competition within the class. Now that he has taken the initiative to come to us to gamble, no one will say anything even if he loses."

"That's right. A genius who is eliminated can't be considered a true genius."

"Indeed, the other party took the initiative to challenge us. This is also a slap in the face of our Zhang family. Naturally, we can't let him have an easy time."

Although some people did not agree with Zhang Wuqiang's point of view, they all echoed it on this occasion.

……

A day of training passed quickly.

Chen Qiongzhi was invited by Li Yi to be a witness and was standing on the side of the fighting arena at this moment.

"Are both parties ready?"

"All right."

Furuta Ichi and Li Yi each answered.

After Li Yi finished his training, he kept his Pluto mecha turned on and stood beside the fighting arena, waiting quietly.

Opposite him was the divine mecha of the evolver Furuta Ichi.

Vulcan sequence, D-level Changrong mecha.

It is 39 meters high, with an overall appearance of a snake head and a tiger body. The outer armor is a withered yellow color, and there are colorful cloud patterns on the arms, thighs, and chest. The overall bio-texture is far superior to that of steel.

From a distance, it looks like a huge upright monster.

Only the snake head with a giant metal hard armor emitting a cold glow made people realize that this was a giant mecha.

"Then you can get started."

The Pluto mecha stepped on the ground and rushed forward.

Inside Chang Rong's mecha, Gu Tian sighed and thought:
"Now that things have come to this, it's useless to get off the pirate ship. So let's use thunderbolt methods to deal with Li Yi and let him see the divine skills I have been thinking about for a long time!"

"Haha, I have been holding back on this trick for two years and have never shown it to everyone. Li Yi, you are lucky."

He manipulated the Chang Rong mecha to fight fist to fist, ready to fight off the Pluto mecha head-on. After getting an effective distance, he used his most powerful divine skill, Fire Tiger Roar!

boom! ! !
The two fists collided, the air waves rolled violently, and the sound waves crossed the fighting arena.

The next moment, an extremely strong and intense load rushed along the sensory information channel of the arm, and Gu Tianyi felt severe pain in his arm.

"Holy shit, shit, shit!"

Isn’t this an enhanced version of the word-penetrating technique?
Instead of hitting the cockpit, could hitting the arm have such an effect?

Gu Tian's forehead was full of question marks.

The next moment, before he could react, he saw an extremely huge fist coming towards him in front of Chang Rong's mecha's panoramic view, getting bigger and bigger.

Bang! ! !
The violent shock passed through the protection of the Chang Rong mecha's hard head, and the remaining small part of the force was transmitted to Furuta Ichi in the cockpit.

immediately.

Chang Rong's mecha shook, lost balance and fell to the ground.

In the fighting arena, a loud noise reached the sky.

There was total silence among the crowd off the field.

With just two hits, he used his mecha skills to directly knock down Furuta Ichi who was ranked 37? !
It clearly took so much planning to beat Zhang Qingjian the day before yesterday, how come it can be done with just one move now?
Chen Qiongzhi coughed lightly:
"Li Yi wins this bet!"

Li Yi's voice was also heard from the Pluto mecha:

"Who's next? Let's finish it as soon as possible so as not to delay everyone's dinner time."

Zhang Xuqiang's face looked grim.
