On the day of the new mecha competition, Lu Heng woke up early, and Jiang Li was still sleeping beside him, facing him sideways.
Ever since he shared the bed with Jiang Li, Lu Heng discovered that he has a habit of sleeping on his side, and he is used to facing his direction.
After falling asleep, Jiang Li's brows and eyes lost the hostility and indifference left by years of fighting, and became softer. He bowed slightly, his forehead rested on Lu Heng's arm, and his chest rose and fell slowly and rhythmically with his breathing.
Lu Heng woke up and saw him several times, and still felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe that such an excellent or even perfect person would really belong to him. What kind of shit luck did he have.
Probably because he was a good person in his previous life.
Thinking in Lu Heng's mind, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he kept his head tilted, looking at Jiang Li like this, with tenderness and love almost overflowing in his eyes.
After a while, Jiang Li woke up. He moved his body, opened his eyes, looked up and saw Lu Heng looking at him motionless, his head was frozen in an awkward position.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Li asked.
Lu Heng: "...it's okay." I just have a neck pain.
…
Area D training ground.
Jiang Li put on his white gloves. Seeing that everyone was in a good state of mind today, he nodded and said, "The contestants come out."
Six people headed by Lu Heng came out and stood in line in front of the team.
Jiang Li looked at them and said slowly: "Today is the first battle in your life. As a future soldier, you need to go all out in every battle. This is to live up to any drop of sweat you shed yesterday. , but also to save myself from bleeding a drop of blood tomorrow."
Having said that, he paused for a moment, glanced sharply across the crowd, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Understood?!"
"clear!!"
"Set off!"
The competition venue for the Freshmen Mecha Contest is set at Jiada Square. Students participating in each school district of the military academy will be led by the chief officer to report to the Academic Affairs Building, and then take the school's suspension vehicle to the competition venue.
Among the four school districts of the Imperial Military Academy, the team led by Jiang Li is the smallest, with only six people, and District D has always been known as the living area for playboys, so when Jiang Li brought Lu Heng and others in, the other The contrast between the three long lines was unusually conspicuous, which drew laughter from the others.
An Omega instructor who was abandoned by the military, and a few ignorant aristocratic students, this combination seems to be a joke in the eyes of most of the students in Area A who are known as the future hope of the empire.
Jiang Li and the others didn't care about this at all. Even Kate, who is usually irritable and irritable, was very calm at the moment, without squinting, and followed Jiang Li's pace to the table belonging to the D area report.
The reporting office was an older male teacher, Jiang Li stood still in front of him, and said loudly, "Salute!"
Lu Heng and the others headed by him responded to the sound, and saluted neatly and forcefully with standard postures. Each of them had a serious expression on their faces. The straight back is like a standing javelin, carrying an inviolable momentum.
Such an aura stopped those sneers, and suddenly realized that these people in front of him seemed to be different from the playboys in D district he expected.
The teacher at the reporting office stood up from his seat, and after returning the salute, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Instructor Jiang, long time no see."
"Teacher Galfa, long time no see." Jiang Li shook hands with the other party politely and respectfully. This was Yuan Bo's culture teacher when he was in the military academy.
After the report was over, all the participating students got on the suspension car under the command of the school teacher. Because there were too few people in the D area, they arranged to be in the same car as the students in the C area.
Although the Freshman Mecha Contest is sponsored by the Imperial Military Academy, it is not only restricted to students from the military academy. Freshmen from other schools on Norman Star can also sign up to participate. The cumulative number of participants is as high as nearly a thousand.
The first day of the competition is the audition. The intelligent system will assign teams from the applicants to compete one-on-one.
A total of 50 arenas have been set up in Jiada Plaza to conduct competitions at the same time, so as to quickly screen contestants to advance. A virtual electronic screen is set up above each arena to display the names of the contestants and the video of the battle.
This time, the Freshman Mech Contest will be broadcast live simultaneously on Starnet. Viewers can choose to buy tickets to watch it, or watch the webcast live on Starnet.
Jiang Li was sitting in the VIP viewing room. On the huge screen in front of him were six arenas, namely Lu Heng, Qiao Yu, Ling Ao, Luo Qi, Kate, Tek and others.
On the table next to him, there were two small mechs about fifty centimeters in length, one black and one silver.
The silver mech sat on the chair, staring at the screen, and said in a cold tone; "The speed is too slow, it's a shame."
Hearing the words, the black mech next to him leaned over and said with a smile: "Little Yinque, don't look at them, look at me."
Yinque stretched out his hand and pushed its head away from him, still focusing on the screen.
These two small mechs are the Black Eagle and the Silver Sparrow. When Lu Heng brought the Black Eagle out, he specially asked Master Ling to help develop a new deformation system. Now the Black Eagle and the Silver Sparrow can automatically adjust themselves. The size of the fuselage.
Xuanying couldn't get any attention from Yinque, so he turned to Jiang Li: "Princess, what do you think of their competition this time?"
"I don't have any opinion." Jiang Li took a sip of his drink, turned his head to look at the unwilling mecha, "Also, don't call me Wangfei."
"What do you call that?" Xuanying asked humbly.
"You can call me an instructor, or you can call me a major," Jiang Li leaned closer to him, facing it, and said with a smile, "Of course, if you want to be confined, you can continue to call me Wangfei."
Xuan Ying: "..." Whether it's a mech or its owner, it's so difficult to get along with.
Soon the first round of auditions ended, and nearly 500 contestants were screened out.
After the first round of competition, the organizer's intelligent system reassigns the teams according to the list of qualified players, and after the rest time, they enter the second round of competition again.
After the second round of the competition, there were only about two hundred players left. It was almost time for lunch, and all the contestants who had advanced could dine at the restaurant designated by the organizer.
The assembly area of the Imperial Military Academy.
Students from the four school districts A, B, C, and D who were promoted form teams in order of school districts.
Lu Heng and the others are still the fewest in all school districts, but they are also the only ones among the four school districts who have not been eliminated, which makes everyone look at them differently.
"No mistake, right? None of them have been eliminated?"
"Didn't the Ling family make mechas? Why did Ling Ao come to mechas?"
"That brat Kate has also advanced?"
"It is said that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is currently ranked highest in the competition points."
"Damn it, really?"
"Yes, and it is the player with the shortest time in a single game."
"As expected of the emperor's son, awesome."
Lu Heng didn't change his expression on other people's evaluation of him. After registering, he followed Jiang Li and left with the others.
Heda stood in the team in Area A, looking at Kate's back unkindly.
As soon as they returned to the special lounge in D area, Lu Heng and the others, who were still sullen just now, immediately failed. Qiao Yu was the first to laugh out loud, and patted Ling Ao on the shoulder and said, "The expressions of those grandchildren just now don't you. Did you see it? Fuck, it makes me so happy to see it!!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ling Ao rubbed his chin, feeling both angry and refreshed, "I can't use mechas because I made mechas? You idiot."
Kate also noticed Heda's livid face just now, and was very satisfied with it.
Tyke and Luo hooked up, discussing about having another big game in the afternoon.
Lu Heng circled around Jiang Li and asked, "Did you watch my game just now? How was it? Am I good? I've spent the least amount of time in a single game now."
Before Jiang Li could speak, Xuan Ying reminded: "Your Highness, you are already twenty years old, so be more careful."
Lu Heng: "... none of your business."
Jiang Li smiled and found that besides Lu Heng, other people were also looking at him expectantly, as if they really wanted to be praised.
In fact, after training them for so long, Jiang Li knew their strength very well, and promotion was expected, but since everyone was looking forward to it so much, he didn't disappoint, and just complimented them a few times.
"Hahaha." Ling Ao laughed, "This competition is not very difficult, the top three must be ours!"
"Are you dreaming? Ling Ao."
A cold and disgusted voice said, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his feverish brain, Ling Ao was taken aback: "Huh?"
Yinque analyzed: "In the first game, you stayed in the air for 0.5 seconds longer than usual, and you were almost hit by the opponent's light bullets, but the accuracy rate of the particle cannon was only 75.4%. It was a fluke to win the game.”
Ling Ao: "..."
Apart from Jiang Li, Yinque was Lu Heng's second teacher during this time. At the end of the training, Jiang Li directly drove Yinque to fight them one-on-one.
At this time, Ling Ao was criticized by Yinque by name, not only Ling Ao dared not say anything, but everyone else kept silent, lest the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond.
Seeing Ling Ao's disheveled face, Xuanying smoothed things over: "Ahem, little Silver Sparrow, why are you in such a rush to meet each other?"
"What do you mean?" Yinque knew the meaning of this sentence, but didn't know what it meant when it applied it to itself.
Others didn't know, Qiqi looked at Xuanying on the table, Xuanying explained: "It's such a little silver bird, you were made by Ling Ao's father, Mr. Ling, which means that Mr. Ling is your biological parent. , it stands to reason that you may need to call Ling Ao brother."
There was a strange silence in the lounge, everyone's eyes turned back and forth between Yinque and Ling Ao, and they were speechless for a moment.
After a while, Yinque rang out with a doubtful voice: "...Brother?"
Ling Ao: "..."
No, no, no, don't scare me like that! !
