Yun Xingze heard Luo Wenchuan's dull voice and asked in surprise, "Senior Luo, have you been waiting for me here for a long time?"
There was an unnatural flash in Luo Wenchuan's eyes, and he pretended to answer calmly, "... Passing by."
At this moment, in addition to Yun Xingze and others practicing in the simulation room, as well as Luo Wenchuan, the other school team members have already left, and the training hall seems empty.
Yun Xingze didn't think much, put away the towel to wipe his sweat, and said to Luo Wenchuan, "That's quite a coincidence. It's getting late, do you want to have dinner together?"
Luo Wenchuan gave a "um", although his voice was still dull, it sounded a little softer than before.
After coming to the cafeteria, the two had dinner, Luo Wenchuan sat in front of Yun Xingze, and suddenly said, "I went to Richard this afternoon and said that if the teammates don't cooperate well enough, the team competition will be difficult. win."
"Then what did he say?" Yun Xingze asked.
Luo Wenchuan handed a drink to Yun Xingze, inserted a straw, then pursed his lower lip and looked at Yun Xingze: "He said that three singles cannot be changed, Ke Lei, Satoen and Ou Rui were the same last year. The teammates in the team competition, the three of them have cooperated very well, so they can't change."
Yun Xingze took a sip of the drink, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said after a while: "So in the final analysis, he thinks that my strength is not good, and it is impossible to cooperate with his teammates well. It is better to let Kalebo and Chi Yu lead me, so that we can still win. hope—is that what it means?"
Luo Wenchuan's long and narrow black eyes looked at Yun Xingze, silent for a long time, and said word by word, "He underestimated your strength."
Yun Xingze took a bite of the meatball and said indifferently, "Although I hate Chi Yu, but..."
Luo Wenchuan's gesture of holding chopsticks paused slightly.
"Since Richard thinks so, then I can only prove my strength and try to play the single game next time." Yun Xingze's eyes were filled with a bit of firm light.
Luo Wenchuan stared at Yun Xingze for a while, then said solemnly, "Well, it's all Richard's fault."
No matter what happened, Luo Wenchuan always seemed to stand firmly on Yun Xingze's side, which made Yun Xingze a little surprised.
He thought that a captain like Luo Wenchuan would persuade him to focus on the overall situation.
After all, in his impression, Luo Wenchuan has always been the image of a stable, reliable, calm and intelligent senior, and it is absolutely impossible to say "it's all the coach's fault".
Yun Xingze thought, this is probably a way for Luo Wenchuan to comfort himself.
Although it was comforting, it also made him feel a lot better.
After eating, Luo Wenchuan sent Yun Xingze back to the dormitory.
Before going upstairs, Yun Xingze suddenly heard Luo Wenchuan's voice behind him: "You haven't forgotten?"
Yun Xingze was stunned for a while, and he immediately understood what Luo Wenchuan was talking about.
However, he pretended not to know and turned around and asked, "What?"
Luo Wenchuan was stunned when he saw Yun Xingze's appearance that he had forgotten about the back of his head, and immediately frowned, as if he was a little unhappy.
After pursing his lips for a moment, he covered the dullness in his eyes, and said word by word, "Help me remodel."
"I didn't forget." Seeing Luo Wenchuan's aggrieved appearance, Yun Xingze held back his laughter, his voice trembling slightly, "This is my job, if I forget, how can I be worthy of your salary. I'll go up and take a shower. Take a shower, and I'll take you to the refit factory in a moment."
Luo Wenchuan stared blankly at Yun Xingze's raised lips and bright eyes, only to realize that he had been tricked.
When he reacted, Yun Xingze had already gone upstairs, leaving only a thin, tall figure behind.
Luo Wenchuan felt happy for the first time after realizing that he was cheated.
After half an hour.
Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan both put on their casual clothes and went to the modification factory.
In fact, in addition to training and playing "Mecha Star" during this period, Yun Xingze also frequently analyzed Luo Wenchuan's mechas, and he was regarded as one of the top ten dedicated employees.
"Look at it, this is where I think it may need to be improved." Yun Xingze said while calling out the virtual image on the light brain, "Generally speaking, there are not many parts that need to be improved..."
Luo Wenchuan's eyes stayed on the image for a while, and his attention was all attracted by Yun Xingze's thin lips. The young man who had just taken a bath had a faint scent of shower gel on his body, which made his heart skip a beat.
"...Senior?"
After Yun Xingze finished speaking, seeing that Luo Wenchuan didn't respond, he called him again.
"Well, let's change it like this."
Luo Wenchuan was very satisfied with the places marked by Yun Xingze, because these parts really need to be improved or refurbished.
Since Yun Xingze improved the biggest problem of this mecha last time, that is, the elbow design, so this SS+ level mecha does not have much to improve.
Luo Wenchuan's refitting factory has been refurbished and is now open for business. Although the business is not very good, there are quite a lot of workers and robots in the refitting factory.
With the help of these people, Yun Xingze's modification of Luo Wenchuan's mecha is expected to be completed within two or three hours.
When refitting, Luo Wenchuan asked Yun Xingze, "Have you thought about how to change your own mecha?"
When Yun Xingze heard the words, he took out his mecha cube and stared at it thoughtfully: "I think I've thought about it, but I checked the required accessories and found that the B-grade mecha was converted into an A-grade mecha. Need to spend two million stars, unless I continue to use second-hand parts... "
Hearing Yun Xingze say this, Luo Wenchuan suddenly remembered Yun Xingze's ugly mecha. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's better to buy some good accessories, after all, the opponents in the National League are not good ones. Besides, , on the list of materials I gave you, all the accessories you need can be used directly."
Yun Xingze has received too much help from Luo Wenchuan during this period of time. He felt that he could not rely on Luo Wenchuan all the time, so he said, "If I take your accessories, I will give you money."
Luo Wenchuan did not refuse. He knew Yun Xingze's character, so he nodded and said, "Then you can choose now. If you need anything else, just buy it online, and it will be delivered within half an hour."
Yun Xingze was also welcome, and spent a sum of money to buy a batch of high-quality accessories from the list given by Luo Wenchuan, and then ordered a batch of brand-new accessories online, which cost nearly two hundred and forty. Wan, the money paid by the Yun family and the prize money for the competition were almost used up.
However, compared to buying a complete A-class mecha, this money is not too expensive.
The most important thing is that Yun Xingze's ugly mecha can finally look better.
This made Luo Wenchuan very happy.
When he watched Yun Xingze remove the colorful mecha fingers and the yellow "Foot Strength" in the refit workshop, he had an illusion of relief.
In addition to these ugly second-hand accessories, Yun Xingze also updated the interior of the mecha.
Among them, the nano radiation protection driving suit of the mecha also needs to be updated.
Because the A-class mecha energy system will be stronger than the B-class mecha, and the radiation generated by the miniature nuclear reactor in the energy system will also be stronger.
For safety's sake, Yun Xingze removed the radiation-proof driving suit left by the original owner.
He took the whole black suit, ready to throw it into the pile of discarded accessories on the side.
Luo Wenchuan stared at the clothes Yun Xingze was holding, and was stunned for a moment.
It was the nano suit he had worn for a long time. The nano-suit has good ductility and will fit perfectly with human skin.
Although the Toli link installed with the nanosuit has a powerful cleaning function, the nanosuit can also be restored to a new state after each use of the mecha, but this seems to be a kind of…
Intimacy in disguise.
Luo Wenchuan asked involuntarily, "You... why didn't you replace the nanosuit?"
Yun Xingze was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Because I didn't have money when I bought it, I didn't change it. In fact, the clothes are quite clean, and the smell on them is also very good."
Luo Wenchuan's Adam's apple rolled.
His gaze fell on Yun Xingze's hand holding the nano suit.
At this moment, he actually had an emotion called "sorry".
He lightly opened his thin lips and subconsciously repeated: "It smells good?"
In Luo Wenchuan's sight, Yun Xingze raised his hand casually, sniffed the mint smell remaining on the nano suit, and nodded: "It smells very nice of mint."
The smell of mint is the smell of the shower gel that Luo Wenchuan likes to use.
He suddenly walked towards Yun Xingze.
He stopped a step away from him.
Yun Xingze suddenly smelled a stronger mint smell, which was Luo Wenchuan's body.
It seems to be the same smell as the nanosuit.
Yun Xingze was a little curious, he leaned in front of Luo Wenchuan and smelled it carefully.
He looked at Luo Wenchuan in confusion: "Why does the smell on your body look so similar to the one on Nano's driving suit?"
Luo Wenchuan wanted to tell Yun Xingze the truth, but he didn't expect the young man to lean directly on him and sniff at his neckline without hesitation.
"It's exactly the same," Yun Xingze slowly opened his eyes, he reached out and grabbed Luo Wenchuan's right collar, and said in surprise, "Or you..."
The moment he raised his head, the distance between the two was extremely wide.
Luo Wenchuan felt the young man grabbing his neckline. With this action, he could feel a slight stretch on the back of his neck due to the tightening of the neckline.
He couldn't help but bow his head slightly following Yun Xingze's movements.
Luo Wenchuan's clean and handsome face was magnified countless times in front of Yun Xingze, making him forget what he wanted to say for a moment, and his mind was almost blank.
The breaths of the two blended together.
It took a while for Yun Xingze to react, and he said in a daze:
"Smell it?"
Luo Wenchuan's body froze, and his sharp single eyelid eyes looked a little dull at this moment.
What Yun Xingze wanted to say was "or else you can smell it", because the brain freezes for a moment, and it takes a little longer to break the sentence.
And in Luo Wenchuan's ears, the key part naturally becomes "Wen Wen"
Those Omega fans who adore Luo Wenchuan have a "pet name" for him.
Yun Xingze quickly reacted, he quickly took a step back, pulled away from the handsome face, and swallowed: "I mean, if you smell it, this smell is too similar..."
Luo Wenchuan's fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes landed tightly on Yun Xingze's cheek, as if he was still throbbing with the sound of "Wen Wen" just now.
This name is not good.
Even if it came out of Yun Xingze's mouth, it still didn't sound good.
But Luo Wenchuan didn't know what he was doing wrong, so he wanted to listen to it again.
At this moment, Yun Xingze received a voice message from Lu Ranxu.
He hurriedly turned off his voice, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
The next second, Lu Ranxu's carefree voice came from Guang's brain:
"Chi Yu appeared downstairs in the Omega dormitory again, and sent someone to our dormitory to find you, saying that he wanted to chat with you alone tomorrow..."
Hearing this voice, Luo Wenchuan reacted from his absence, and frowned slightly.
After Yun Xingze heard the voice, he was about to throw away the driving suit in his hand, but before he had time to do so, he suddenly felt a tall figure standing in front of him, blocking the light in front of his eyes.
He raised his head in surprise, only to see Luo Wenchuan standing in front of him expressionlessly.
Looking up close, Luo Wenchuan's eyes seemed to have a slightly strong emotion.
Yun Xingze asked, "What's wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Wenchuan took another step forward, giving him a strong sense of coercion.
Yun Xingze could only retreat, behind him was a tall black mecha, his back hit the hard and cold mecha legs, and his breathing became short.
Because it was so close, the mint smell from Luo Wenchuan's body entered Yun Xingze's nose again, and it was even stronger, mixed with hormones.
The next second, Luo Wenchuan bowed his head and bent over, his head was close to Yun Xingze's ear, and he stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers touched the back of his hand.
Yun Xingze widened his eyes.
He couldn't believe that Luo Wenchuan, who was usually so cold and afraid of O, would take the initiative to get so close to him.
The next second, Luo Wenchuan's fingers swept across the back of Yun Xingze's hand and grabbed the nano pilot suit he was holding.
From this angle, Yun Xingze could only see Luo Wenchuan's ears and half of his broad shoulders.
The other party's breath seemed to pass by his ears.
A clean voice sounded, with a bit of displeasure:
"It tastes the same?"
Yun Xingze returned to his senses and subconsciously said "um".
Luo Wenchuan said in a calm and cold voice:
"The nose is pretty cool."
Yun Xingze was stunned when he heard the words, his brain was running fast, he quickly understood the meaning of this sentence, and shouted out in shock: "What do you mean... This mecha originally belonged to you?"
Luo Wenchuan took away the nano suit in his hand while Yun Xingze was stunned, glanced at it and said, "What do you think."
Yun Xingze did not expect that the owner of the second-hand mobile armor he bought was Luo Wenchuan.
He remembered that he had transformed this mecha into that ugly appearance, and even wielded a pink lightsaber to compete in front of Luo Wenchuan, and he suddenly gasped.
"I, I," Yun Xingze said embarrassedly, "I don't know about this, I didn't mean to make it so ugly..."
"Since you're going to throw it away," Luo Wenchuan said slowly, looking at Yun Xingze, "then..."
Yun Xingze hurriedly grabbed the driving suit in Luo Wenchuan's hand: "Senior, I will not throw it away, I will never throw it away, I will keep it for collection, this is the driving suit you have used... and this mecha, I Will take good care of it, for sure."
Hearing what Yun Xingze said, Luo Wenchuan returned the driver's uniform to him.
Yun Xingze didn't know why Luo Wenchuan suddenly became strong, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Maybe it's because the mecha was modified so ugly
Then he should have been angry by now...
"Senior, this shows that we are destined." Yun Xingze said to Luo Wenchuan, "Look, I didn't even know that this mecha was yours at the time, so I fell in love with it at a glance."
"Really?" Luo Wenchuan raised his eyebrows and asked slowly, "Why do I think it's because it's cheap?"
"Uh," Yun Xingze choked, "it's not all..."
"Then it's..." Luo Wenchuan looked at Yun Xingze, his tone softened, "It's fate."
Yun Xingze was stunned, he didn't expect Luo Wenchuan to say that.
He put away the driver's uniform, Luo Wenchuan's expression returned to his usual state, and the cold feeling just now was lost.
After the modification of the two mechas, the performance has been improved.
Yun Xingze's mecha has been upgraded to A-level and has a new look. It looks tall and handsome under the light, which means that he has officially become an A-level mecha warrior and is about to start a new journey on the field.
However, when Luo Wenchuan saw his modified mecha, he was stunned for a moment: "Your cat... why is it still the same as before?"
He omitted the last "ugly" word.
Yun Xingze explained: "Because it has a lot of magic silver on it, it must not be modified casually. It's a waste of materials."
Luo Wenchuan could only comfort himself, although the cat was still so ugly, the mainframe armor became better-looking.
The owner looks better than the pet.
For the remaining two days, Yun Xingze naturally ignored Chi Yu's request to talk.
He explained the words "distinction between public and private" incisively and vividly.
When Richard came to the simulation training room to test the training results of Yun Xingze and others, he did not expect Yun Xingze and others to cooperate very well.
Before, Richard heard about the grievance between Yun Xingze and Chi Yu. He thought that Yun Xingze would play with his temper and would not cooperate in the game.
However, Yun Xingze's performance shows everything - no matter what his strength is, his character is indeed mature.
Richard slightly changed Yun Xingze's opinion, but he knew that Yun Xingze's strength was still a flaw, and he did not praise him much.
Richard said: "Gicott's three-man team is good, but not as strong as their individual players. There is no flaw in Shengsheng in general. You need to be flexible when you fight."
The three responded: "Yes."
Chi Yu glanced at Yun Xingze, he was almost disheartened now, Yun Xingze kept him away for thousands of miles, and finally had the opportunity to get along, but they were even stranger than before.
Don't they have another chance
This year is the 98th National Military Academy Mecha League, held on the planet of the school that won the championship last year, namely Noah Star.
Noah Star and Imperial Capital Star are in the same galaxy, very close, and are one of the military powerhouses of the Empire.
Because Noah Star is relatively large, it can share a lot of risks for the Imperial Capital Star during the war, so it has always assumed the role of the "Knight" next to the Imperial Capital Star.
It only takes one hour to travel from Imperial City to Noah Star by interstellar spaceship.
Yun Xingze specially checked the information of Noah Star and found that the mecha strength of this planet is very strong.
The day before departure, Yun Xingze showed great yearning for Noah Star and kept checking various maps of Noah Star.
"Why are you so excited?" Lu Ranxu asked curiously, "Noah Star is indeed beautiful, but it is definitely not as beautiful as San Clito Star in the Black Swan Galaxy, and the economy is not as developed as Imperial City Star..."
"However, the Mecha Research Institute is in Noah Star." Yun Xingze said naturally, "Mecha Research Institute, I heard that that place has the most advanced mecha technology in the entire empire..."
"You want to go to the Mecha Research Institute?" Lu Ranxu was stunned. "Don't you know that the Mecha Research Institute is also known as the 'Fortress of the Empire', and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter."
Yun Xingze also knew in his heart that this kind of research institute involving major secrets was definitely not something that an ordinary military student like him could enter.
"But I heard that NCLM has a special tradition." Lu Ranxu thought for a while and continued, "The champion team will be invited to visit the Imperial Mecha Research Institute - although it may only be the outermost part."
Yun Xingze heard the words, and his heart became more and more eager for the victory of this league.
If he can enter the research institute, or even find a way to stay there, then he will have access to the laboratory, and it will be much easier to develop various technologies and new types of mechas.
"Hey, why do you think so much." Lu Ranxu said as he returned to his room, "Our school, it's uncertain whether we can qualify."
When Yun Xingze heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, whether the school team of the Star Navy Academy can win the championship is not up to him alone.
Just when Yun Xingze yearned for the Mecha Research Institute.
Noah star.
Inside the mecha research institute known as the "Empire Fortress".
The building of the research institute is made of special strong materials, located in a hidden forest, and the surface is coated with hidden materials, which is difficult to be found.
These buildings are like ancient castles in the forest. The style is similar to the ancient earth period, but there are various high-tech equipment and laboratories inside. They are running at high speed every day. All researchers and robots cooperate in a high-speed and orderly manner. , researching the latest mecha technology for the Empire, like a large machine that fits perfectly.
Once, the empire's mecha technology was inferior to the alliance next door, and the mecha competition between the two interstellar powers never stopped.
Because their skills are inferior to others, the empire has always been the one to be suppressed.
It was not until 20 years ago that the Imperial Mecha Research Institute developed a new type of mecha, which changed the disadvantaged situation of the Empire and helped the Empire and the Alliance to compete with each other.
Inside the top secret room of the Research Institute.
"Everyone knows that the primary work of the scientific research institute is to study how to improve the neural connection technology and break through the mental power limitation of the mecha," said the middle-aged man sitting in the center, "but we have been lacking a person with strong mental power. Regulators, to help us complete our experiments..."
After speaking, his eyes turned to everyone, and the conversation changed:
"However, recently, intelligence officers have discovered people who are suspected of having this kind of talent."
As soon as this statement came out, all the researchers in the room showed surprise.
After the middle-aged man's voice fell, a video image suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, making them collectively hold their breath
The video played is a video of a seemingly inconspicuous campus mecha competition.
