The challenge rules were formulated by the college to give freshmen a better simulation cabin experience. There was nothing wrong with Lin Zimao's request to challenge someone, but he said it too quickly and everyone didn't react for a while.
Wasn't Ren Siran the sophomore from the Combat Department who suddenly shined during the freshman military training
Another combat type!
Is Lin Zimao specifically going after the combat-oriented people
Having just defeated Jiang Man, the top-ranked freshman in the Combat Department, he is now challenging Ren Siran, a sophomore in the Combat Department. Is he arrogant? Too arrogant? Does he have any misunderstandings about the Combat Department? Or is he too competitive
There are many different opinions about Lin Zimao.
Students who often log on to the school forum to read gossip will know that Ren Siran is the hero who saved someone in the Mecha Story some time ago. He became famous for a while. It is said that the school leaders rushed to the hospital to comfort him as soon as possible, and the school's press station highlighted a report on the afternoon of the day he saved the person. Ren Siran himself accepted an interview with the press station the day after he was discharged from the hospital, and described the thrilling process of saving people vividly.
Someone noticed that Lin Zimao did not use any honorifics when addressing Ren Siran. It was not known whether he did not mention the word "senior" out of politeness or if it was intentional.
Why did Lin Zimao choose Ren Siran as his opponent in the challenge
Is it because they are more familiar with each other, or is it because the senior from the combat department that Lin Zimao knows is too good? Or maybe Lin Zimao admires him and respects his action of saving people at that time.
Some people on the forum started digging up the story behind their acquaintance!
It turns out that on the day Ren Siran saved people, Lin Zimao was sitting in his passenger seat, but during the interview Ren Siran did not mention Lin Zimao at all, and instead replaced him with his junior.
Everyone says that Ren Siran must be Lin Zimao's true love!
Lin Zimao won the championship of the freshman-level simulated mecha competition, which made the combat department feel ashamed. Now he took the initiative to find Ren Siran from the combat department. A group of people began to contact Ren Siran who was suddenly cueed!
Senior, you must teach Lin Zimao a lesson for us and make him show off!
Senior, come on, we support you, use our best skills to kill him!
Senior, where are you? Come out and say something! Give me some encouragement!
Ren Siran did not accept Lin Zimao's challenge, but since Lin Zimao had listed his name as the only challenge spot, it meant that he had to appear at the competition site at the specified time.
That means Sunday night is their final battle day.
Why doesn't Ren Siran go to the forum to reply? Why doesn't he post a message like a freshman and confront Lin Zimao
Is he too low-key
Of course not.
Only he knew how terrifying Lin Zimao was, so he didn't dare!
On the day of the incident, he fainted like Lin Zimao. When he woke up, a group of people who claimed to be school leaders appeared in the ward, which overlapped with the scene he had imagined before. Even the always serious dean suddenly looked at him with new eyes! He was praised by everyone, saying that he brought honor to the department, that he would be a pillar of the country in the future, and that he would be able to serve the alliance well in the future. He didn't know how to save people!
He was just impulsive at the time, but when he thought of Lin Zimao, he began to get scared.
But after he was interviewed by reporters and became a hot topic on the forum, his classmates began to show respect and admiration for him. Even the junior student sitting next to him at the time, Lin Zimao, did not react at all. He relaxed, thinking that the other party did not care about what he did at all.
Ren Siran was so proud of himself that he got carried away. When someone asked him about what happened that day, he spoke so convincingly, as if he was the one who was in control and directing the whole process. He even said that he almost believed it as he kept talking and successfully convinced himself that he was the one who was in control that day.
When Ren Siran thought that this matter would just pass and he would continue to be surrounded by glory, Lin Zimao suddenly began to frequently appear on the hot searches on the forum. From that day on, he began to panic. He found that Lin Zimao was becoming more and more dazzling and became popular in the school with an unstoppable momentum! And he became more and more afraid!
However, Ren Siran reviewed everything that happened at the scene of the accident that day, and he firmly believed that Lin Zimao had no evidence to prove that he was not the operator at the time!
Lin Zimao was only participating in a simulation cabin competition. No one knew whether he could use a real mecha. Even if he could, so what? He was the one sitting in the driver's seat that day. Lin Zimao did not jump out to prove himself at the first time. What did he mean by jumping out now
Besides, the school has already recalled the batch of mechas they used before. It will take at least half a year to return them to the factory for inspection and repair, and no one will pay attention to the mecha he used before.
The more Ren Siran thought about it, the more determined he became. Lin Zimao could not destroy his image!
But he also didn't want to meet Lin Zimao. He couldn't compete with Lin Zimao on the same stage, and Lin Zimao couldn't take away everything he had now!
One day before the challenge begins, for the sake of his hard-earned glory and the merit he might get this year, he can't let Lin Zimao succeed. If Lin Zimao beats him in the game, who would believe that he did it? He has seen Lin Zimao's movements and he knows very well that he is no match for Lin Zimao.
Ren Siran came up with a great idea.
He inquired about Lin Zimao's whereabouts. Lin Zimao would take the bus to school every day. When he got off the bus and walked to the competition venue, he would pass by a small forest. The small forest was a holy dating place, and there was a blind spot for surveillance there.
It will rain tomorrow evening, so he can ask someone to drag Lin Zimao into a blind spot and drag him until the end of the game, and then release him after the game tomorrow night without anyone noticing. With his thin body, he will be easily subdued, and no one will suspect that he did it.
If he fails to kidnap the person, he can only fight with Lin Zimao again, and he may not lose to him. However, he does not want to take any risk of losing the game, as it concerns the reputation he has worked so hard to build up, so he can only send people to kidnap Lin Zimao first.
He took the initiative to contact Chu Liming, who was ranked first in the sophomore Mecha Department this year. They were friends, and this friend seemed to have some interest in him. If he got into trouble, he would surely be happy to help.
Of course, Ren Siran would not tell Chu Liming about the grudges between him and Lin Zimao. Instead, he exaggerated by saying that there was a classmate who slandered him and was jealous of him on the forum every day. He had a competition today and that classmate might stop him from participating in the competition. So he asked Chu Liming to do him a favor and delay Lin Zimao in the grove for an hour and not let him get close to the competition venue.
However, he didn't have to worry about how Chu Liming would understand his words and how he would carry out practical operations.
He knew very well that Chu Liming was obsessed with training mechas and didn't pay much attention to the forum, and didn't know Lin Zimao existed at all. In addition, Chu Liming always relied on his ability and liked to solve problems by fighting.
Sure enough, Chu Liming agreed.
Ren Siran made an appointment with Chu Liming to have dinner together, and immediately sent a high-definition photo of Lin Zimao to his communicator.
Chu Liming: "Is that him?"
Ren Siran said: "Yes, it's him. He follows me every day. I'm a little scared now."
Chu Liming: "You should choose to call the police."
Ren Siran: "It's no use looking for him. He said he's going that way too. You just need to help me delay him until after 7:30 tonight. I start the game at 7 o'clock, so I guess he'll be done by then."
Chu Liming said: "Okay, I'll teach him a lesson for you so that this pervert won't dare to follow you again."
Ren Siran curled the corners of his mouth through the cover of the teacup.
Lin Zimao, don't blame me, you asked for this!
After winning first place in the school simulation cabin competition, Lin Zimao received a trophy and a good bonus, which was enough for Jiaoyan to buy some more expensive dried fish and canned food.
The day after the competition is Saturday, so there are no classes.
He slept until almost noon, and he was able to sleep particularly well after his whole body relaxed.
This week I have classes during the day and competitions at night. The competitions are very mentally demanding and I have to concentrate all my attention during them.
It's better than ordinary opponents because he can do two things at the same time, but because Jiang Xuan revealed Jiang Man's strengths and weaknesses to him in advance, he made great efforts during the competition and played a coaching match with Jiang Man without being discovered by others. If he was smart enough, he should understand what he meant.
He was too lazy to get up, so he turned on the communicator first.
Since the competition started, his social media accounts have been very lively every day.
Today, a person he was not very familiar with sent him a message. This person was Jiang Xuan’s friend Ji Chen.
His intention was very clear, he wanted to ask Lin Zimao out, and it was the kind of date that he wanted to pursue.
Lin Zimao refused and told him that he wanted to rest for two days as he was a little tired after the game and didn't want to go out.
Ji Chen said okay, he would go to watch the game tomorrow night.
Lin Zimao said thank you.
Ji Chen said you're welcome, and if you don't mind, they can have a midnight snack together tomorrow night. He believed that he could defeat his opponent, so just consider it as a celebration for him.
Lin Zimao thought that it would be a bit ungrateful to refuse others again, so he accepted his invitation. He could bring Wang Yi, Suran and others along, and he didn't say he would go alone.
After all, he is Jiang Xuan's friend, and it might be a bit awkward to find out about their relationship later.
But I kind of want to laugh.
After dealing with Ji Chen, Lin Zimao finally got up from the bed and went downstairs to see if there was anything to eat. If not, he ordered some takeout.
After washing up, he went downstairs yawning, looking lazy as if he hadn't gotten enough sleep.
He unexpectedly found Jiang Xuan sitting on the table in front of the French window, drawing a picture, which seemed to be a foot. Jiaoyan was sleeping on his table, with her belly turned up for Jiang Xuan to scratch. Jiang Xuan was about to reach out his hand, but when he heard Lin Zimao coming downstairs, he retracted his hand, and Jiaoyan lazily raised his eyelids. Lin Zimao deeply realized that the Jiaoyan who used to accompany him to sleep until he woke up naturally was gone forever.
Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at him: "Awake?"
Lin Zimao nodded: "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Jiang Xuan stopped what he was doing: "There are some custard buns that I ordered this morning on the table. They may be a little cold. You can heat them up before eating, or you can wait a little longer and I will order takeout."
Lin Zimao nodded: "Well, I'll have a glass of milk first."
When he walked to the dining table and saw the plump white custard buns, he couldn't help but eat one. Jiang Xuan looked at him helplessly but didn't say anything.
Lunch arrived half an hour later, and the two sat together to enjoy it. Jiaoyan lay on the chair next to Jiang Xuan, meowing pitifully. Lin Zimao looked around at the two of them, while Jiang Xuan was as steady as a rock, his face unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Lin Zimao had no choice but to speak up and said in a deep voice: "Pepper and Salt, go eat cat food."
Jiaoyan is very good at reading people's expressions. When it heard that Lin Zimao's tone was a little strange, it went to chew the cat food aggrievedly, and glanced at Jiang Xuan from time to time.
Jiang Xuan: “…”
Lin Zimao handed Jiang Xuan chopsticks and said, "Next time you chase it away, the more you give in to its wishes, the more it will push its limits."
Jiang Xuan nodded: "Yeah."
It seems like this situation always happens when the two of them eat together recently. Pepper and Salt are getting more and more outrageous.
It was raining outside and the sky was gloomy. He had been going back and forth between school and home during this period. His life was so simple. However, he didn't want to go out at the moment and would wait until the game was over.
Lin Zimao had almost finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and told Jiang Xuan: "By the way, Ji Chen just asked me to go out."
Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned. He remembered that Ji Chen excitedly told him this morning that he was going to date a beautiful woman today.
This liar.
