Yanshi [ancient wear and no]

Can you experience the game?

In Tang Wuqiu's ears, these words did not move his heart, but made him vigilant.If he remembers correctly, the competition has already begun and the deadline for registration has passed. Isn't Cao Yuanxi joking when he says this now?

Cao Yuanxi also knew that the other party would not believe it if he said it so suddenly, he looked around, then smiled and said, "I wonder if Brother Tang has time to have a drink?"

Tang Wuqiu also wanted to know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he readily agreed.

But just after taking a step, Tang Wuqiu noticed that Cao Yuanxi's eyes fell on Bai Suoluo.

"This one..." Cao Yuanxi had a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"What do you want to do with Brother Wuqiu? I will go wherever Brother Wuqiu goes!" Bai Suoluo changed his mature appearance in front of Tang Wuqiu at this moment, like a little girl who doesn't know much about the world Looking at Cao Yuanxi suspiciously and warily, "I want to protect Brother Wuqiu!"

Tang Wuqiu: "..." Wait, what's the matter with this painting style?

Cao Yuanxi, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh. He bent down, his eyes were at the same level as Bai Sara's, and he looked at Bai Sara with a bit of patience for ignorant children: "But, little lady, your brother and I There are very important things to talk about. Why don't you let my brothers and sisters behind me take you to the playground?"

"I don't want it!" Bai Suoluo shook her head like a rattle, she had long hair, and because of the shaking, her hair was flying at the moment, and she slapped Cao Yuanxi's face twice with "歘欻歘". I don't know if it's because of the heavy strength or because Cao Yuanxi's face is too tender, but there are faint red marks like this.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Seeing this, Tang Wuqiu also felt a little embarrassed. Originally, he and Cao Yuanxi had an ordinary relationship, but after this, he seemed to feel sorry for him.

"It's okay." Generally speaking, the ruler has a good attitude towards the obedient, and Cao Yuanxi is the same. He stood up, about the same height as Tang Wuqiu, so he could easily express the request in his eyes. "Since this lovely little lady insists, it's okay to come together."

……

Cao Yuanxi chose an online virtual cafe.

It is worth mentioning that with the development of network technology and the improvement of holographic technology, people have created a lot of online stores after using their spiritual power to form virtual images on the Internet.

In these stores, people can shop and relax—of course, events like the Mecha Contest are no problem.

For shopping, you can buy virtual goods or physical goods - the latter only needs to be tried on the Internet and if you are satisfied, you can place an order and pay a fee for virtual conversion entity and note the signee and address, and the shop owner will Mail the physical goods to customers offline.

However, such as cafes, it is really impossible to virtualize into entities. They just rely on electrical stimulation and pulses of virtual signals to make guests' brain waves receive a conscious response about "tasting coffee".

This technology was originally used for those women who love beauty to lose weight-on the virtual network, you can eat and eat to satisfy your mouth without any scruples, and you won't gain weight. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

Later, it gradually developed into a kind of pop culture, especially for people who can't get together because of the distance to have a "party" or something.

Cao Yuanxi chose a medium-sized cafe, which is small in size but very distinctive, especially the simulated green vines, which make people feel like they are in the forest, adding a bit of natural and soft atmosphere.

And in such an environment, no matter what kind of temper it is, it will become somewhat relaxed.

……

After ordering drinks for Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suoluo respectively, Cao Yuanxi formally introduced the other two teammates who were with him.

Cao Yuanxi is a third-year student in the Mecha Command Department of Jialan Military Academy, and also a participant in this mecha competition.

Teaming up with him are two other Dominators and three Subordinates.The dominator is his classmate in the same grade, and one of the obedients is the cousin of one of his classmates, and the other is recruited through the Internet.

"...Only two?" Tang Wuqiu wondered. He remembered that most of the teams he saw during the competition had the same number of dominators and obedients, right?It is said that it is convenient for mutual help and one-on-one, so as to avoid the situation where the dominator appears at the same time and the obedient has no time to separate during the fight.

This is the same as when playing games, whether it is t or dps, it is necessary to be equipped with a nanny.

Hearing the doubts in Tang Wuqiu's words, the dominator introduced by Cao Yuanxi as Zhuang Shaofeng raised his eyebrows, and his tone carried confidence in himself: "The rule of the game is that the number of obedients cannot exceed the dominator. Redundant demands."

In other words, even if you don't bring a single follower, it will be fine.However, to be on the safe side, everyone is "standard" one-to-one. It is very rare for Cao Yuanxi and his team to have one less obedient than dominant.

However, Cao Yuanxi probably didn’t think like Zhuang Shaofeng did. He smiled wryly: “Actually, Ivy was injured a little this time.” Ivy was the obedient recruited by their team on the Internet, from another city. University students——in the empire, each region is not divided according to the provincial or municipal level or the prefecture level of the major states, but the division of cities and villages, and only the capital is not called a certain city.

When they recruited, they mentioned the recruitment criteria, and Ivy did meet this requirement.But they never expected that although Ivy has high mental strength and is quite capable in mechs, one can almost replace two, but she has a little "small problem" in real life.

It is true that Ivy is a college student, and there is nothing wrong with her age, but what she didn't tell Cao Yuanxi was that her body was seriously injured in real life. Although her life was out of danger, she was still on leave from school to recuperate.It is also because she has to cooperate with her recuperation, so her daily online time is fixed.

In the first round of the competition, she secretly extended the time, but it was precisely because of her disobedience to the doctor's orders that her recuperating body sounded an "alarm", and was discovered by her family. After the competition, they Before she could cheer victory, Ivy was hastily forced off the assembly line by her family.

All these situations were just sent by Ai Wei to Cao Yuanxi and the others.

Obviously, Ivy's family was very angry because she did not care about her body so much, and directly suspended her online qualifications.In this way, Ivy can only retire.

Therefore, if Ivy can no longer participate in the competition, Cao Yuanxi and his team will only have one obedient person left, that is, Zhuang Shaofeng's cousin Apasha.

And Apasha is absolutely unable to take into account the three dominators in the battle during the game.

……

"Ah, you guys are really unlucky..." Bai Suoluo looked at Cao Yuanxi and the others with sympathy. The three rarely used the obedient supplies during the battle, which can be said to be very eye-catching.But this does not mean that they can maintain this state of ease in the next game, especially when their opponent is a one-to-one combination of dominators and obediences.

You must know that although the two teams are randomly assigned in each round, there will never be a situation of three Dominator teams vs. one Dominator team, except in the finals.

Although this situation has never happened since the Mecha Contest was held.

This also means that in the following games, Cao Yuanxi and the others must be facing an opponent with three dominators, and in the following games, not only the battle of the dominators occupies an important score, but also the obedience in the team is very important to the teammates' mechs. The maintenance, transformation, repair, assembly, etc. of the equipment are also the assessment content.

If Cao Yuanxi and the others still had the confidence to sprint for the championship, then the appearance of Ivy's episode made their entire team directly lose the possibility of winning the next round.

"Who says it's not?" Cao Yuanxi smiled wryly.

"But even so, Yuan Xi, you can't just find someone to make up the numbers, can you?" Zhuang Shaofeng is probably a very "upright" person, he just blurted out without thinking about the effect of saying this at all.Or maybe he actually knew it, but he just explained the situation clearly so that Tang Wu would retreat after seeking knowledge.

He had just heard the self-introductions of these two people. Although he was studying the mech design and manufacturing of Jialan University, he was just a freshman who had only been enrolled for a few months. His cousin Apasha was a second-year student of this major. Therefore, I know that in the first semester of freshman year, this major is basically pure theoretical knowledge, not even superficial. Even in sophomore year, it is just an entry and exit.The main reason why my cousin can be so outstanding is that their family has good conditions and rich resources, and the reason why they can get access to education in this area after becoming a ruler.

So in his opinion, Tang Wuqiu is not only unable to help, but is very likely to hinder him.

As for Bai Suoluo who introduced himself as Tang Wuqiu's distant cousin Tang Luoluo... just a kid who is still in middle school, he couldn't catch his eyes at all _(: 3ゝ∠)_.

This is all due to Bai Sara's dislike of socializing and Bai Lao's protection of his precious granddaughter, so now Bai Sara is known as a genius outside, she is Bai Lao's granddaughter, but other things such as appearance are unknown to the outside world .

Before Cao Yuanxi could open his mouth, Bai Suoluo also booed and said: "Hmph, you are so casual! You have already signed up for the competition, but you want to change people halfway! This is obviously breaking the rules of the competition!"

Cao Yuanxi had just calmed down the emotions of his teammates, and when he turned his head and heard Bai Suoluo's words, he couldn't help but chuckled slightly: "You are right, according to the rules of the game, our team has already confirmed the players. , but no one wants this to happen. And Ivy is the most uncomfortable among them..." At this point, Cao Yuanxi showed a trace of sadness on his soft face, then raised his head and said to Tang Wuqiu, "But I am not If you want Junior Brother Tang to take Ivy's place, you just need to help us occupy a place in the second round."

……

"Brother Wuqiu, are you really going to help that Cao Yuanxi?" After parting from the cafe, Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suoluo went offline, but although they didn't go online, they chatted on the optical brain through communication.

Cao Yuanxi asked Tang Wuqiu for help, but he didn't ask him to take Ivy's place. The so-called "occupation of a position" has nothing to do with Ivy, and there is another one who has not yet confirmed his obedience.

In other words, Cao Yuanxi and the others plan to find another "teammate".

But because of time constraints, the second round will start tomorrow, and they are actually in a hurry to confirm a player in such a short period of time—because once it is confirmed, it cannot be changed.

Considering that the second round of the competition will not be too difficult for the time being, Cao Yuanxi's plan is to ask an obedient person to act as a "face" first, and then find another obedient person to fill the vacancy of the sixth person at that time—to maintain Their team is always in the state of five people.

You should know that if the number of people changes during the game, you will be warned or even directly withdrawn from the game.

"Maybe I'm just going to be a vase or a soy sauce maker?" To be honest, Tang Wuqiu was actually quite tempted, because he wanted to participate in the mecha competition at the beginning, but he didn't have the opportunity for various reasons.

"But, you are so worthless." Bai Suoluo still knows Tang Wuqiu's level quite well, and the "humming" she made in just two months is enough for her to look at her senior brother with admiration. That's it - in her opinion, Tang Wuqiu is more suitable for the title of "genius" than herself.

Because of this blind belief, Bai Suoluo felt that Tang Wuqiu's situation of "sacrificing silently as a spare tire" was not fair to Tang Wuqiu at all.

But Tang Wuqiu didn't think so.

But you have to ask in advance whether this situation is considered a "violation".

"Breaching the rules shouldn't be counted, after all, you are not a master to join, and brother Wuqiu, you also meet the entry criteria..." Bai Suo Luo said, "Otherwise, I will ask Grandpa, he is one of the final judges of the Mecha Contest. One, you should understand these clearly!"

……

When Tang Wuqiu was discussing with Bai Suoluo, Cao Yuanxi was also facing Zhuang Shaofeng's doubts.

"Yuanxi, don't you have your eye on that kid? Although that kid is really good-looking, but at the moment of the competition, we can't be fooled by his beauty! We have been preparing for this competition for more than two years!" Zhuang Shaofeng also He is a noble young master, because of his family background, it is rare for him to "think twice" before speaking, so his manner of speaking is also special - straightforward.

"It's because of more than two years of preparation." The one who spoke this time was another teammate who had been silent just now, Sander Butterfield, who was a taciturn and pragmatic.

"It's still Sander who understands me," Cao Yuanxi said, and smiled at Zhuang Shaofeng before he got angry, "Just like Sander said, it is precisely because we have been preparing for more than two years that I can't be let down by Ivy's fault. Everyone on our team missed the opportunity. Not to mention..."

"What's more?"

"Who said Tang Xuedi is only used to make up numbers?"

Cao Yuanxi's tone was so determined that Zhuang Shaofeng looked away uncomfortably—why does this good buddy of himself look like a submissive (girl) when he smiles?

"But, Yuanxi, won't this violate the regulations? Our qualifications for the competition..." Although Sander didn't speak much, he always hit the nail on the head when he spoke.

"But the competition didn't stipulate that we can't do this, right? We just exploited a small loophole, and we didn't let him replace all the games, just in case of emergency. I can guarantee that no one will know." Cao Yuanxi is confident full.

"But... we don't know whether Tang Wuqiu will answer or not." Zhuang Shaofeng has actually been persuaded by Cao Yuanxi, but thinking of Tang Wuqiu's attitude of not expressing his opinion when we parted, he was a little dissatisfied, "Otherwise, we should find someone else... ...No, what if Tang Wuqiu leaks our conversation?"

Having said this, Zhuang Shaofeng was already thinking about how to seal Tang Wuqiu's mouth.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen." Cao Yuanxi curled his lips.

Zhuang Shaofeng was still wondering where Cao Yuanxi's self-confidence came from, but the next morning, he received a notice that the Mecha Contest was suspended.

Just when he felt that he didn't understand and was irritable, another piece of news... or the answer to his doubts became popular on the Internet.

The study and exchange group of the Federal Republic arrived at the Imperial Cosmic Port at [-]:[-] this morning. After hearing that the Empire was holding a mecha competition, they were very interested and made a request to "meet friends" with mechas.

……

"Make friends with a mecha?" It was the first time Tang Wuqiu heard such a saying.

"I just want to find an opportunity to provoke, and the ball doesn't care about those guys who are idle." Saloman didn't take this matter to heart at all, and focused all his attention on Tang Wuqiu's slender and flexible pair, which was almost useless. Not a single flaw in the hands.

#I can play with these hands for a year (*／w╲*)#

Tang Wuqiu felt a little uncomfortable, because the gaze Saloman looked at his fingers was too hot, and he always felt that his eyes were licking his fingers... Hehe, maybe it was an illusion?

Stuck a small gear that was as thick as a hair in its proper position with mental force, Tang Wuqiu withdrew his hand and picked up the part on the other side: "But the Mecha Contest has stopped because of this?"

"No way, how can the mecha competition be held as if nothing had happened at this time? Even if it is held normally, I don't know what the federation will use to make use of it." Although Saloman said so, he didn't care about the other party's attitude.

Tang Wuqiu stopped his movements: "Didn't it say that the Empire and the Republic are friendly states?" He remembered that the encyclopedia did not say that the Jialan Empire and the Federal Republic were two peaceful and mutual assistance living on the two halves of the butterfly-shaped Gaia star. Government?

Saloman froze for a moment, then he smiled and kissed Tang Wuqiu's rosy lips: "Baby, how can you be so innocent and cute!"

Tang Wuqiu, who was attacked by surprise, didn't care, but his face was blackened by Saloman's words - obviously, he didn't think it was a compliment that Saloman called him "naive" at this time.

Seeing that Tang Wuqiu seemed to be getting angry, Saloman kissed him on the cheek, and comforted him: "Peaceful coexistence does not mean that there is no competition between each other, let alone the political belief between the empire and the republic. It’s relative. Also, before we reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence, people on both sides had to fight for land, resources, population, etc.”

It was also later when they discovered that as the number of people in the war became less and less, and the resources became less and less, they realized that if this continues, the problem will become more and more serious, so those who survived get along with each other after negotiation.

But in fact, they have only lived in peace for a hundred years.

Can hundreds of years of "resentment" melt away with the help of a hundred years of getting along with each other?

Of course not.

If you are older, you can still remember those "blood feuds".

Now the best way to maintain the balance between them is nothing more than the word "interest".

So in such a situation, no matter how much you think about being friendly, you will think about comparing and overpowering the other party.

"So, they did it on purpose?" Tang Wuqiu was surprised after listening to Saloman's explanation. He said that the Mecha Contest had been held before, and it is logical that people in the Federal Republic should not know about it, but why did they have to raise it this time? "Interested and want to learn from each other" such a requirement.

"Since they have made their request so sincerely, I will naturally grant their wish. As we all know, the level of mechs in the Empire is higher than that of the Federal Republic."

"You arranged all this?"

"My dear, your partner is the Regent."

Ignoring the peacock-like tone in the other party's words, Tang Wuqiu frowned: "You all said that it is well known that the empire's mech technology is stronger, so the reason for not asking for a 'discussion' before must be because of concerns about this. But the Federal Republic This time it was uncharacteristically... Is it possible... that they have mastered a technology more powerful than the Empire?"
