The fake daughter-in-law holds the script of Long Aotian

"The Near Sky Tower was once a confidential laboratory of the Academy of Sciences. It was accidentally abandoned ten years ago due to an experimental accident."

"In the early days of supernatural research, people built towers close to the sky and sent supernatural signals to the source, hoping to get a response, similar to believers offering sacrifices or praying."

"The mechanism of action of the Near Heaven Tower is very simple. It is equivalent to an oversized composite superpower amplification device that continuously transmits superpowers to fixed coordinates."

"It now appears that the Tower Near the Sky was a completely failed attempt."

"However, people used its principle to invent another more commonly used device for amplifying supernatural powers - the mecha."

Fang Zhi said softly:

"We have arrived at the venue for this competition, the Tower Near the Sky."

The door of the teleportation starship slowly opened - a desolate and dark giant tower appeared in Shen Mian's sight.

Her voice was lost in the whistling of the cold wind:

"I wish you all good luck in martial arts."

……

Outside the Tower of Heaven, twelve o'clock noon.

Changjuntai temporary command post.

"The team has been reorganized," Xia Qingzhang hurried back, "I took the reconnaissance team to investigate the situation. The initial positions of several school teams are very close, so it is easy for friction to occur."

Shen Mian nodded: "In four hours, the mecha ban will be lifted, and we must be prepared for a firefight."

"Strengthen patrols on the perimeter, engineers should expedite the construction of fortifications, and the rest of the people should rest on the spot and replenish their energy."

The preliminary combat meeting ended quickly and the atmosphere in the command post eased slightly.

Chen Shu yawned long and hard: "Every day is full of crap, it feels like a long time has passed, but if you think about it, it's only been a few days since the opening ceremony.

Xia Qingzhang felt the same way: "Indeed, the schedule for this year's competition has been accelerated. If the organizing committee hadn't messed up, today should have been the consortium's investment promotion meeting. Alas, a sum of income was lost for nothing."

"There is no rest at all, and the team is not in good condition," Jiang Di said impatiently, "and there is also a live broadcast. Others are on holiday at home and watch us perform for free."

Not everyone likes to be judged by strangers. Jiang Di is a leader in i-tainment and has always hated live streaming.

Shen Mian was about to make a joke, but she realized something was wrong: "Isn't today a workday? How can we have a day off?"

Xia Qingzhang said casually, "Are you still asleep? Today is July 7th, the Ability Awakening Day, a fixed holiday that will never be adjusted."

July 7th is the fixed date for the Empire to hold a national superpower awakening ceremony for all children over the age of twelve every year.

On this day, the influence of the supernatural world on the material world will be further strengthened. The originally balanced and orderly flow of supernatural energy will become abnormal and violent, accompanied by various extreme weather conditions.

- For example, the night Shen Mian traveled through time, under the cover of a thunderstorm and bloody rain, he killed an inexplicable man.

Of course, this kind of energy anomaly once brought challenges to navigation, but with the development of supernatural technology today, it is just a minor inconvenience that can be ignored.

However, out of keen intuition, Shen Mian's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly thought of something seemingly unrelated -

Maybe the competition organizers had a sudden idea and let live Zerg into the competition, creating the ridiculous "Zerg sir, this way" scene, and finally they could only flee while cutting the schedule. Maybe someone wanted to arrange this competition near the Ability Awakening Day.

For what?

Just to have two thunderstorms to liven up the fight between Shen Mian and Shen Mian?

She walked out of the temporary command post and looked into the distance.

Although the Tower Near the Sky is abandoned, it is still a key confidential area and all teams are only allowed to fight on the periphery.

The black tower rises high into the clouds, majestic and silent.

Shen Mian's mood was quite complicated.

She clearly knew that Fang Zhi was going to cause trouble, and something big was about to happen, but Shen Mian had neither the reason nor the position to stop her.

I can only be a quiet "bystander" as Fang Zhi hopes.

Judging from Fang Zhi's undisguised sharpness and sarcasm towards the royal family, the target of her plan is self-evident.

Shen Mian had no doubts about whether she could succeed, and it was not her turn to worry about it. What she was worried about was - what should she do after the incident?

She was fighting against the biggest interest group in the empire. The arrogance of the royal family was obvious to all, and personal feelings could only be crushed in the face of the wheel of power.

Xiao Jue was the person she deceived, which meant that she didn't even have a companion on the surface.

...I then realized that I was too anxious.

Just as the subtle feeling surged into Shen Mian's heart, she saw a tall figure walking towards her not far away. Without even recognizing him, she knew the person was Aying.

Shen Ying, wearing a mecha master uniform, said solemnly, "There is a problem with the mecha sent by the organizing committee."

Shen Mian's heart skipped a beat: "How many units have problems?"

Shen Ying said bluntly: "Everything."

After a pause, Ah Ying added, "I suspect that it's not just Chang Juntai who has problems."

Shen Mian immediately ordered: "Catch a reconnaissance team nearby for research, no matter which military academy they are from."

……

Temporary command post.

“As a heavy weapon, the mecha has been handed over to the organizing committee for safekeeping since the start of the competition for safety reasons.

It was not until before the competition that the space buttons for storing mechas were uniformly distributed. Theoretically, there is indeed room for manipulation."

Xia Qingzhang spoke in an artistic way. He first clarified the feasibility, and then changed the subject:

"But no one would be stupid enough to destroy all the mechas. It would be a losing deal to offend Chang Juntai and the prince just for an insignificant competition."

Shen Ying shook her head: "It's not broken."

"……what?"

Even in this critical moment, Shen Ying was still trustworthy, calm and rational: "I suspect that the environmental parameters of all mechas have been slightly increased."

Shen Mian clicked his tongue and said, "That's not right. Raising the value will only increase the loss of supernatural power and reduce the life of the engine."

Grace added, "Also, I remember that the parameters can be adjusted manually. It will only be affected today, and it will be completely changed tomorrow. Why would you take such a big risk just to mess with us for four hours?"

"Wait, wait," Xia Qingzhang said with a headache, "Can you take care of a military budget parasite like me? What are environmental parameters?!"

Shen Mian rolled his eyes at her speechlessly: "How did you pass the mecha introduction exam?"

Xia Qingzhang said righteously: "I can guarantee that this parameter is definitely not the focus of the final exam."

Shen Ying explained in a good-tempered manner:

“Due to geographical and cultural differences in each galaxy, the balance and flow rate of supernatural energy are slightly different.

When the mecha is changed to a new environment, in order to ensure its usability, it is necessary to obtain adjustments using environmental parameters from official agencies.

The environmental parameters of each galaxy are top-secret data that only the Lord can know..."

"Wait," Jiang Di suddenly asked, "Since it's top secret, how did you find out it was wrong?"

Shen Ying was very calm: "I have seen the failed measurement methods of predecessors before. Amian and I have made some optimizations, but we can only get a rough range. It is still not as good as professional instruments."

"Ahhhhh!" Xia Qingzhang screamed, "I'm going to fight you academic masters!!"
