Veteran

Chapter 8

Cheng Xiu sat in front of the old-fashioned computer in the library, carefully using it according to the operation guide posted on the table.

Tong Ling looked sad: "Never used it, have you?" The base is so backward, it doesn't even have an old computer.

Cheng Xiu responded casually, only to realize that he was being regarded as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: He used a voice-activated computer 100 years ago, and 100 years later, he still needs a keyboard... Fortunately, he is educated. The foundation is good, another person would have eaten the keyboard long ago.

Seeing that he was serious, Tong Ling left happily.

Cheng Xiu tried it for a long time, but all functions of this computer were locked except for checking.It is not impossible to unlock it. The old computer and the system are outdated. The cracking method was rotten in his time. However, with his half-baked skills, it is difficult not to alarm the remote monitors.Fortunately, he only wanted to check the information at the moment, so as not to turn himself into a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Despite the threat of the magnetic wave launcher, Cheng Xiu still regards the mecha as an indispensable part of the "rebellion".He even hoped that the progress of mechs had overcome this big drawback.

The results were disappointing.

Leaders in mechs such as Auto Factory and Comex Group have continued to introduce new ones over the years, but there are only a handful of real technological breakthroughs.Among the few inventions, the only one that caught Cheng Xiu's eye was the energy recycling system.Its realization solves the problem of mech energy replenishment, which means that as long as people don't die of thirst, starvation, suffocation, or exhaustion, the mecha can work endlessly.It's a pity that this system has not been invented for a long time, and its volume is as large as a mountain, so it cannot be directly applied to mechs.

After being depressed for only a second, Cheng Xiu soon became happy again.After sleeping for 100 years, when I opened my eyes, I found that the future technology is stagnant, and I am still a top student, and I have not been eliminated by the times. It feels like I am still a full-level player after changing servers.

At this moment, he finally found some refreshment of rebirth.

He turned off the mecha, and looked at the current situation of the star country...

Even more messed up.

Less than three months after the president took office, the scandal of tampering with voting data broke out during the campaign. The popular support rate fell below the 20% warning line. The Legislative Assembly is struggling to study and discuss whether to directly declare the president's inauguration ceremony invalid or enter the impeachment process.

Excessive development of immigrant stars has led to a large shortage of government funding and immigrant population. Some immigrant stars have been abandoned and become barren stars. In order to rob resources, the governments of the remaining immigrant stars fought bloody battles, and various riots emerged in endlessly.Slaves, black households... these extinct nouns have come back to life one after another.This is also the reason why Flood Dragon Arena dared to receive so many spectators semi-openly.The government's mud bodhisattva crossing the river is hard to protect itself, and the immigration star has gotten out of control.

Cheng Xiu couldn't help feeling that it was Cao Xie's political proposition to vigorously develop immigration stars, which was rarely recognized by the military.For this matter, Cao Xie came to the military headquarters several times for meetings, and after the meetings, he always ate in the military cafeteria, swiping his card... In retrospect, it was a time when the government and the military were very close. A rare period of peace.

It's a pity that it's like this now.Fortunately, Cao Xie died early. If he lived to this day, with his character, his face was calm and calm, and he would vomit three liters of blood in his heart, and he might have died of anger.

"You still read, how old are you, can you understand?" After receiving the news that Cheng Xiu was alone in the library, Lan Mao rushed over to mock him.

Cheng Xiu said: "When you meet someone who is weaker than you, you should lower your mentality and compare your heart to your heart. This is a kind of respect. When you meet someone who is stronger than you, you should raise your level and match him. This is a kind of progress. "

Lan Mao was confused: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Xiu rolled her eyes slowly: "Yes, I can understand."

"...Did you roll your eyes at me just now?"

"A piece of mouse droppings fell out of my eye." Cheng Xiu looked at him, his black and white pupils honestly reflected his figure.

"It's disgusting, go away." Lan Mao took a step back in disgust, thought for a while, and pushed Cheng Xiu again, "I still think you rolled your eyes at me just now."

Cheng Xiu said, "Then turn back."

The blue hair turned back, and then got angry: "You admit that you rolled your eyes at me just now?"

Cheng Xiu patted the seat beside her: "Come on, sit down and chat." She kept raising her head and talking, her neck ached.

"Want to talk about your brother's funeral?" Lan Mao insisted not to sit down, "I heard that your brother built a scrapped mech? Ha, is this an excuse to lose the game in the future?"

Cheng Xiuyu said earnestly, "I already have a sister-in-law."

Lan Mao didn't think deeply, and asked directly: "Who?"

"Not you."

"..."

"My brother is very, very affectionate to his sister-in-law." Across time, space and age, he is truly unswerving until death. "So, you have no hope."

Lan Mao said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I will fall in love with your brother? Ha, your brother looks... looks..." Thinking about it carefully, he is indeed handsome and has strong fighting power. Such a place is still devoted to his younger brother, and his character is also good...

While he was struggling, Cheng Xiu quickly turned off the computer and was about to sneak away. Before he could take two steps, a gust of wind hit the back of his neck. He could dodge it if he wanted to, but it didn't matter if he didn't do so.After hesitating for a while, Cheng Xiu stopped, and was obediently grabbed by the collar.

Lan Mao dragged him to the front: "I heard that you signed up to be the host?"

Cheng Xiu nodded.

"I have a game tomorrow, you can host it."

"...Are you sure it's your home game?" According to the rules, only the more popular of the two sides in the match is the home game, so they have the right to choose the host.

Lan Mao was angry: "I'm a 'hero'! How could it not be the home game?! Come here obediently tomorrow. If the host makes a mistake, I won't let you go! At that time, let your brother come over and make amends Let's go." Thinking of Song Yu bowing his head and ears in front of him with that invincible face, he was so excited that his hair shuddered.

"What time? Where?"

Lan Mao said coolly: "Go to the front desk to check the timetable."

"... At least tell me what your name is?" After Cheng Xiu finished speaking, Lan Mao had disappeared.He could only talk to himself: "I don't know if anyone knows 'Blue Hair'."

"His name is Hu Shu, a mecha type." A short and thin young man emerged from the corner of the library.The reason why "drill" is used is because Cheng Xiu hardly notices his existence before making a sound, which is extremely rare.Since he was sensible in his previous life, Cheng Xiu has been hanging out on the battlefield. It has become an instinct to detect the surrounding environment. Even if he doesn't do it deliberately, the radar in his head will scan the area he enters without blind spots, which can avoid his observation. A person who is a good person must have uniqueness in hiding traces.

Seeing him staring at him, the other party smiled, "I'm Zhang Bing."

My name is Zhang Bing, and I am introducing you.

I am Zhang Bing, and I am Announcement.

The difference of one word shows a completely different psychology.

It can be seen that although the young man in front of him looks plain and has a modest smile, he is extremely proud inside.He does have proud capital here, the Yu-Gi-Oh, one of the Four Thrones.

Cheng Xiu smiled and introduced herself: "My name is Cheng Xiu. Thank you for your beauty card."

"...It's a massage card. You haven't used it yet?"

"The card is counted by the number of times. My current body area is too small, which is a bit wasteful. I will go when I grow up."

Zhang Bing nodded: "Good idea."

Both of them wanted to make friends with each other, and they quickly warmed up. Zhang Bing also invited his new friend to a restaurant for an expensive steak, laying a solid foundation for his future friendship with Song Yu.

"Big Brother" is so generous, Cheng Xiu naturally knows everything:

"My brother and I are not biological brothers. Both of us are descendants of Vatler refugees. We were abducted to a strange base since we were young. In order to protect me, my brother was often subjected to inhuman torture such as insults and beatings. I couldn't get enough to eat. He also saved his rations and worked hard to make me fat. You see, I look so good-looking now, it’s all my brother watered it out with his blood and sweat!"

"My brother often tells me about life and reasoning. He likes to educate others the most. I am so kind, pure, and innocent now. It is my brother who cultivated him little by little with his love and sincerity!"

"My brother... Oh, do you want to hear the story of my brother and my sister-in-law? Yes, there are. My brother fell in love with my sister-in-law at first sight. My sister-in-law is so beautiful. Everyone who has seen it agrees! My brother knelt down as soon as we met, and never stood up again. He also suffered from a strange disease of wanting to count petals when he saw flowers, and wanting to ask spring to send out a few branches when he saw red beans. Finally, with my support and encouragement Next, my brother chose a dark and windy night for a month to visit the boudoir at night wearing a bed sheet..."

After a meal, Zhang Bing drank a large pot of chicken soup and went back in a daze.

The storyteller Cheng Da, who was talking dry, wiped his mouth, and considered the possibility of becoming a professional writer if he couldn't make it in the professional mecha competition.

Ever since he joined the mobile phone armor, Song Yu has become a wandering young man who doesn't return home at night. He only sees each other in a few days, and when he comes back, he has to take a shower and change clothes.Cheng Xiu couldn't see him, and didn't bother to take the initiative to talk about being a host. She dressed herself up in front of the mirror, and ran to work as a child laborer with pride.

The arena, which is tall on the outside, is no different from the courtyard houses in history in terms of disseminating news. Whoever farts, the smell has not yet come out, and the noise is known to everyone.

So, when Cheng Xiu entered the arena, an extremely embarrassing scene happened—the blue-haired home court advantage was taken away!

Specifically, it means that you can't die if you don't do anything.

After Lan Mao invited Cheng Xiu as the host, he immediately made a big publicity, which aroused the interest of many viewers who had just watched other games, and the number of viewers who bought tickets overwhelmed Lan Mao's hardcore.

When entering the arena, Blue Mao chatted with his opponent at the door.Lan Mao belittled Cheng Xiu as worthless, and made it clear that he chose him as the host to see him embarrassing. The opponent, out of competitiveness, deliberately played against the tune and desperately said good things about Cheng Xiu, which caused Lan Mao who invited Cheng Xiu to look down on him. Cheng Xiu, the opponent who didn't invite Cheng Xiu has an illusion of favoring Cheng Xiu.

The audience who came to Cheng Xiu became angry and voted for the opponent one after another. Lan Mao lost the home court advantage and could only watch helplessly as the opponent found another host to come over and slap him in the face.

……

Cheng Xiu looked at Lan Mao who was so ashamed that she wanted to burrow into the ground, and could only shake her head.

Of course, when the audience found out that the host was not the one they wanted to watch, Blue Hair's opponent also enjoyed the ruthless indifference of the audience, and was beaten to pieces by Blue Hair amidst the boos of the audience.

After the game, Lan Mao deliberately came to Cheng Xiu, seemingly arrogant, but in fact he was extremely embarrassed and said that the next game must be handed over to him very firmly.

Cheng Xiu replied ha ha.

Lan Mao swears to the sky.

Cheng Xiu said that the oath cannot be trusted, and the deposit is the most reliable.

Lan Mao, who originally wanted to deal a devastating blow to Cheng Xiu, ended up distributing a sum of money inexplicably before leaving contentedly.

Song Yu, who came back to take a bath, happened to see the whole process of Cheng Xiu's swindling and abduction, and once again refreshed the image of Admiral Lin Ying who was gone forever in his mind.

In order to ensure that Cheng Xiu's hosting task went smoothly this time, Lan Mao kept a low profile before the game, but no matter how low-key he was, he was still expected by the audience, and the ticket sales were still booming.However, in order to prevent the cute little friend Cheng Xiu from experiencing twists and turns in his first hosting career, the audience tearfully handed over their tickets to Lan Mao, who was not friendly at all, and successfully sent him to sit on the throne of the home court.

Lan Mao proudly appointed Cheng Xiu as the host.

Cheng Xiu took the microphone and sat down at the edge of the referee's seat leisurely.

In the arena, two mechas stood facing each other.

Today's game mode is the simplest fighting mode, and hot weapons cannot be used.Lan Mao's opponent is a quasi-"hero" who is only one title away. Both his nickname and the name of his mech are whirlwind, and he is a famous speed flow.

The referee was afraid that Cheng Xiu, who was new to the road, would be stage fright, so he specially helped and said a few words: "Cyclone has only entered the arena for three short years, and he already has three titles in his body, and his future is limitless. His characteristic is fast speed, and the mech throne Leaf River's characteristics are very similar. However, Leaf River's mech 'Flying Leaf Meteor' is a B-level custom mech, and currently ranks first in the arena mech list. Of course, 'Whirlwind' is also very good. It is Com Ang Group's Blast 7 is the speed king in the market. His home opponent today is Hu Shu and 'Deep Sea Heart'. Coincidentally, he is also a speed stream. As we all know, Hu Shu is a loyal fan of Ye Zihe. In order to get closer to 'Flying Sea' The image of "Ye Meteor" has been specially refitted with some parts of "Heart of the Deep Sea". It's hard to say who will win the battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience booed.

Some spectators even started booing and shouting the name of "Cheng Xiu".

The two players on the field were a little depressed, who is playing this game!

The referee was kind enough to be treated like a donkey, and he was also a little depressed. He ruthlessly interrupted the boos of the audience and directly announced the start of the game.

In the anticipation of everyone, Cheng Xiu slowly raised the microphone: "Whirlwind takes the initiative to attack. It seems that he is very aware of the weakness of Haifeng 5 - there is a 0.1 second delay in starting. Sure enough, Lanmao couldn't hide from the opponent, and he was hit hard. It hit the head, but the whirlwind must never have imagined that the blue hair's head itself is empty, even if it hits it, it won't damage anything."

Blue Hair was about to vomit blood!

There is a lag of 5 seconds when the blast wind 0.1 is turned on?Why doesn't he know!No, it should be a brat with no hair, how would he know?

Lan Mao was a little stunned by the blow, and the battle was obviously out of shape. The opponent took the opportunity to intensify the offensive and pushed him to the edge of the field, with little power to fight back.

Don't end it so quickly.

Cheng Xiu licked her lips with unrestrained interest, and said: "The front chest defense system of Haifeng 5 is well done, even if it is hit more than a dozen times, it will definitely not be damaged. The blue hair is retreating in such a panic, is it holding back a big move?"

The opponent's heart tightened, but his hands loosened slightly.

Blue Hair seized the opportunity to break free from the attacking circle, and by the way returned a moderate side attack.

Cheng Xiu said: "Lanmao wobbled back and fought back. Looking at his weak and boneless little coquettish appearance, he knew that the attack just now was purely seductive. But the whirlwind was frightened and immediately withdrew the troops. From this point we It can be seen that the opponent doesn't mean anything to Lan Mao. Lan Mao is unrequited love."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Lan Mao roared in the mecha cabin, and then rushed forward without hesitation.

Cheng Xiudao: "Since ancient times, there is a lot of love and no hatred, so I beat the scumbag to death and set up a grave. Lan Mao's love has turned into hostility, and the whirlwind is dangerous!"

Lan Mao: "..." I really want to kill the host!

Cyclone: ​​"..." I lost, you fight.If you lose, I will fight for you!

The host who aroused public outrage was completely unconscious, and continued to hold his job conscientiously: "Don't underestimate every scumbag. The word 'scum' has three dots, it can't be practiced in a day. Most people become nympho when they meet opponents For such a strange thing, he threw away his armor and fled long ago, but he is like a whirlwind. He doesn't run away, he goes around in circles, trying to stun Lanmao. When Lanmao's center of gravity is unstable, it's time for Whirlwind to make a move. Don't forget, the most powerful thing in a whirlwind is not the wind, but the whirl!"

Xuanfeng, who was just about to attack, stopped when he heard the words, and was immediately kicked hard by Lanmao.

"The blue hair seized the opportunity. At the moment when the whirlwind was merciful, he attacked, and he faced the enemy head-on. From the beginning of the game to now, except for the affectionate side attack at the beginning, the blue hair has always taken the form of a frontal attack The route, it seems that he didn’t know that Haifeng 7 sacrificed the defense of the back of the mecha in order to accelerate, or, knowing it, he still showed mercy. Alas, asking what love is in the world, it’s just teaching life and death.”

I don't know if there is a ten-year-old boy sitting on the stage, "talking about love" in a serious manner, and then suddenly said a few professional comments, which made the audience stunned.

Lan Mao was in doubt.These words are said from a child of about ten years old, the credibility is too low, but... What if it is true?

Cyclone was even more suspicious.Knowing that the back defense of Haifeng 7 is weak during a maintenance, the mecha maintenance worker was a little tight when replacing the baffle, only to find that the back of "Whirlwind" is about 3 cm thinner than other models of Haifeng mecha.Don't underestimate the 3 centimeters, every minute and centimeter of the mech's thickness has to be calculated carefully to ensure the maximum unloading force and compression resistance. A difference of one millimeter may cause a defense loophole, let alone 3 centimeters.I tried the whirlwind, and the back defense value of the blast 7 is very different from that of the blast 5 and 6.His patron questioned the Auto Factory, and the answer was that the speed of Haifeng 7 is enough to avoid most of the back attacks.Cyclone considered shifting the gear, but the 3 cm thicker mecha dropped by more than one notch in speed and agility, and the loss outweighed the gain.Fortunately, Haifeng 7 has an amazing speed, it is very difficult for opponents to touch him, and no one will consider attacking his back, so this secret has been hidden until today.

But how did Cheng Xiu know?Song Yu said it?How strong is Song Yu?

His weakness was exposed, his heart felt weak, his momentum was not as good as before, he subconsciously avoided his back, and his originally smooth movements showed stiffness and cramped from time to time.

Lan Mao suspects that he will follow his plan, so he casts doubts, unwilling to miss a lot of opportunities for nothing, what if it is true?After hesitating for a moment, he decided to let go.

One ebb and flow, the whirlwind was quickly suppressed.

But the title of "Speed ​​King" of Blast Wind 7 is by no means unfounded.Even if he is pressed and beaten, he can still walk around with speed.If this continues, Lanmao's strength will be exhausted, and Cyclone will still have a chance to come back.

Of course, Lanmao also understands this truth, but riding a tiger is hard to get off.The rhythm of the game is already in his hands, giving up now means that all the previous efforts are in vain.

Cheng Xiu shook her head, if she had a hammer at hand, she probably would have knocked on it.

What are you doing!

Although the speed of Haifeng 7 is fast, the operation and consciousness are very ordinary, and there are almost rules to follow. If the speed cannot keep up, it will just take the first step.Originally thought that Song Yu's operation was not bad, and the level of the arena should not be too bad, but I didn't expect...

Cheng Xiu rested her chin with one hand: "Stand out your left foot."

Both Whirlwind and Lanmao stretched subconsciously, then looked at each other's posture with black lines, and continued the game.

Cheng Xiu said again, "Stretch your right foot."

The whirlwind turned a deaf ear, but the blue hair stretched out again in a strange way.

All the spectators stared dumbfounded at the whirlwind, which came and went without a trace, suddenly lost its balance, and the entire mech rushed forward.Although Cyclone adjusted his body's center of gravity halfway and wanted to roll to the ground, the blue hair rushed up in time and kicked him on the back.

Strengthening the attack power of the ankle is one of the characteristics of "Flying Leaf Meteor", which happens to be the unique move of Lanmao after modification.

He stepped on it, and the whirlwind's defense system immediately turned on a red light to warn.

Cyclone still wanted to struggle to resist, but was suppressed by Lan Mao's punch!

When the referee announced Hu Shu's victory, the audience was still in shock.

It's not that the situation changes too fast for people to react, but that this match is basically Cheng Xiu's exhibition match.Where is he a host, he is simply an off-site guide.

Why did Blue Hair win, because he was obedient.

Why did the whirlwind lose, because he was not obedient when he should be obedient.Recall that if Cheng Xiu said "stretch your right foot" and he also stretched his foot, then it would be impossible for Lanmao to trip him.

The eyeballs of the audience who figured out the truth dropped.

is this OK?

The rules say no.After all, ordinary people simply cannot do this level of guidance.

So, in the future, it is very likely that they will lose to a ten-year-old kid in the arena?

Spectators and contestants were terrified.

Cheng Xiu, who received the attention of the audience, was not as complicated as everyone thought.He was rejoicing at a new discovery, he had found a way to recruit younger disciples—to recruit disciples!
