Although they hadn't actually met each other before, on the virtual network, both of them used their real appearances, so Cheng Yang recognized the boy's identity at a glance.
This young man is his partner in the competition, named Gu Qing.
Looking at his competition partner who suddenly appeared in front of him, Cheng Yang's jaw almost dropped from shock, and he held back for a long time before asking, "You... why are you here?"
Logically speaking, shouldn't Gu Qing be on the playing field of his own planet right now? Why did it suddenly appear here
Gu Qing smiled softly and said, "I rushed over this morning, and I participated in the first round of the competition here."
"That's it, but why don't you compete on your own planet? Isn't that more convenient?" Cheng Yang was still a little puzzled. It is so convenient to participate in the competition on your own planet.
Gu Qing avoided this question directly, and smiled instead: "I will probably finish this year's competition on this planet, but I'm not familiar with it, can you be my guide?"
Cheng Yang has always been careless, so he immediately shifted his attention and said happily, "Of course it's okay. I grew up in Central Star. I know all the fun and delicious things here."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yang couldn't help asking again: "Then have you found a place to live?"
He didn't mean anything else by asking this question, but just wanted to know where Gu Qing would settle down, so that it would be convenient for him to start playing from the surrounding area.
When asked this question, Gu Qing showed a bit of worry on his face: "I just rushed here in the morning, and when I arrived, I went directly to the competition venue. I haven't had time to decide where to live yet, and besides you, I don't have any other friends I know on Central Star."
This sounds like a little bit more meaning. Gu Qing has not found a place to live yet, and he is the only friend he knows on the central line. If he doesn't care about anything, it will be too disrespectful. up.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yang immediately said enthusiastically: "Since you haven't decided where to live, you might as well go to my house directly. There are many guest rooms in my house, and you can pick any one you like."
The reason why Cheng Yang took the initiative to invite the other party to live in his home was not only considering the friendship between the two, but also planning for the competition.
Although the two often practiced on the virtual network before, it was quite convenient, but after all, it was before the game. After the game officially started, the situation will definitely be very different. If we can live together, we can discuss the game. Also more convenient.
Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, wondering: "Will it be inconvenient? This is the first time we meet in reality, if I live directly at your home, will your family mind? "
Cheng Yang shook his head quickly: "No, they will definitely welcome you very much."
"If this is the case, then I will trouble you," Gu Qing smiled softly, "Thank you, Yang Yang."
Cheng Yang didn't care about the change in Gu Qing's address, but enthusiastically called a spaceship and took Gu Qing home with him.
When Cheng Yang got home, there was no one in the house, so he took Gu Qing upstairs to choose a room.
Just as Cheng Yang greeted his competition partner to move into his home, Cheng Yi and An Yan had already arrived at An's house.
Although the two have not held a formal engagement ceremony for the time being, their relationship has been recognized by the two families, so it is the same whoever goes home.
Today was a working day, and An's mother went to work, so when the two arrived home, the house was also empty.
Cheng Yi took off his coat, and walked directly to the kitchen familiarly: "Yanyan rests in the living room for a while, and I'll go prepare lunch."
An Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Let me prepare lunch, you must be very tired after playing for so long in the morning."
Cheng Yi smiled and rubbed An Yan's head: "Not tired."
Seeing what the little guy wanted to say, Cheng Yi frowned slightly, and said with a little grievance: "I learned a few new dishes before, and now I really want to cook them for Yanyan, can't I?"
Hearing this, An Yan couldn't stop him anymore, so he said sweetly: "Then let me help you. I have also been practicing hard during this period, and my vegetable chopping skills are much higher than before."
"Okay." Cheng Yichong said with a smile.
The Academy Mech Competition will last for a month from the start of the competition to the final finals. However, considering the conditions of the contestants, the competition will not continue during the process.
According to most of the previous practices, there will be a total of seven or eight rounds of competition in this month.
The first two rounds were knockout matches with simple rules, and the purpose was very simple, to eliminate at least four-fifths of the contestants.
And in today's first round of elimination, half of the contestants have been eliminated, so in the next second round of elimination, three-tenths or even more of the total number of participants before the competition should be eliminated.
The reason why the competition arranges two rounds of knockout rounds is mainly because of the first round of knockout rounds, pharmacists can't participate together, so the specific rules of the second round of knockout rounds haven't been finalized yet, but at least one thing is certain, An Yan will participate in the next competition with Cheng Yang.
While cooking, An Yan couldn't help discussing this issue with Cheng Yi: "The second round of the competition will be held the day after tomorrow. Senior, what rules do you think will be?"
After the first knockout round, the advanced players have a full day's rest before the second knockout round.
And as the intensity of subsequent competitions increases, in order for the contestants to better adjust their state, the rest time in between will also become longer and longer.
Cheng Yi was lowering his head to prepare the ingredients. Hearing this question, he turned his head and glanced at the little guy before answering: "The first two rounds are knockout rounds, so the rules of the competition should not be too complicated. According to the past practice, we should It's a group battle knockout match, or something like the first round of melee."
"I see." An Yan nodded while mixing the flour.
Cheng Yi added: "However, the rules of the Academy Mecha Competition will be adjusted every year, or even changed a lot. I don't know if this will happen this year."
Just as An Yan was relieved, when he heard these words, he began to feel nervous again: "We must not be eliminated in this round of competition!"
Cheng Yi couldn't help laughing: "Did you forget Yanyan? We are going to win the championship, so we will not be eliminated not only in this round, but in all the next games."
An Yan touched his nose and smiled: "You are right, we are going to win the championship."
As soon as the words finished, Cheng Yi let out a pleasant low laugh, and An Yan looked over in doubt: "What's wrong?"
Seeing the little guy with white flour on the tip of his nose without knowing it and showing a puzzled expression, Cheng Yi lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the tip of his nose, then nodded his lips and said, "Now Yanyan knows Why am I laughing?"
After kissing the tip of An Yan's nose, Cheng Yi's lips were also slightly white. When An Yan saw it, his face blushed instantly, and he quickly reached out to wipe it off, but he forgot that his hands were still stained with flour. The more you get, the more you turn yourself into a painted-faced mouse.
Cheng Yi watched from the side, without any intention of reminding the little guy that there is a pool next to him.
When An Yan finally realized this, Cheng Yi stretched out his hand to grab him, took a photo secretly, and then helped him wash his red face.
After that, An Yan and Cheng Yi had a sumptuous lunch together, and stayed with him for another afternoon. He didn't get up to leave until An's mother came back from get off work.
Then as soon as he got home, Cheng Yi saw his silly brother playing with a stranger in the living room with a model mech.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cheng Yang stood up from the carpet: "Brother, you are back, let me introduce you, this is my partner Gu Qing in this competition."
After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Qing who followed him and stood up: "Gu Qing, this is my elder brother."
Gu Qing smiled softly, looking very gentle and polite: "Brother Cheng."
Cheng Yi's gaze was clearly scrutinized, and he nodded slightly and said, "Hello."
Then he turned to Cheng Yang and said, "I remember you said that your partner is from Star Watson?"
Cheng Yang nodded and replied: "Yes, but Gu Qing came to the Central Star to participate in the competition, and he has no place to live, so I invited him to live at home temporarily."
Gu Qing immediately said: "It's going to be a troublesome time."
Although he felt that it was unreliable for his silly younger brother to bring home a person whom he had formally met for the first time, since the person was already here, Cheng Yi didn't say much about it, just nodded and said: "Go ahead Let's play, I'm going upstairs first."
After returning to the room, Cheng Yi immediately investigated the young man named Gu Qing from Watson Star.
When he saw Gu Qing before, he felt that he had a slightly friendly face. After seeing the detailed information sent to his optical brain, he finally found the answer accurately.
Gu Qing is the only son of the Patriarch of the Gu family on Watson Star. Cheng Yi thinks he has a good face because he looks five points like his mother.
And the head of the Gu family's generation is his mother.
Cheng Yi had met this person before, so he felt familiar with Gu Qing.
The Gu family makes mechas. Although the name is not as good as the Cheng family, and it is not even a well-known brand in the entire interstellar world, if the area is placed on the planet Watson, the Gu family will definitely be ranked on the planet. top three.
Watson Star is one of the neighboring stars of the Central Star, and it is also an advanced planet with a developed economy.
But these are not the point, the point is, when Gu Qing, whose family also manages mecha manufacturing, and his stupid younger brother became competition partners, and even went to the central star to live in his own house, could it really be a coincidence
