King of the Stars [Rebirth]

Chapter 29 The Underground Arena

Although it is called an "underground arena", Maccazze's arena is by no means underground, but in an exclusive entertainment venue in the central urban area.In modern society, the main entertainment of human beings has been transferred to the Internet, and virtual reality is the daily pastime for most people.But that kind of fake, safe and strictly regulated stuff is obviously not very popular with these space pirates and black market businessmen, so bloody gambling events have become the best entertainment choice for "Freedom Star".

The entire arena is composed of more than [-] "battle circles", ranging from the most primitive human battles with rare beasts to the most modern mech challenges.No time limit, no life or death limit.The audience can watch the battle through the crystal screen, and at the same time bet on winning or losing.No one cares about the safety of those participating. In fact, many people wish that every game will have casualties, and enough blood can attract greater viewing "fun".

However, there are still many contestants in such a dangerous "arena".Because there will be no test for the level of the knight, no restrictions on the modification of the mecha, and even human life has become a means of adding to the fun.For many people who will never be able to obtain formal knight qualifications because of their criminal records, the "race field" is the best place for them to find employers or partners.Those highly skilled knights will be invited by big merchants to be bodyguards after one or two rounds of competition, or become members of a pirate ship through brokers.There's no better place to soar.

As for whether they will die or whether they can leave a whole body, it is never in their consideration.

Yan Beichen had never been to such a place in his previous life, and there were battles in his world, but it was definitely not for entertainment.As a true God of War, his fighting style is extremely simple and sharp. Showing off skills never exists in his mind, and the only thing is to crush the enemy and win.Therefore, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the worryingly skillful battles on the screen that were full of showing off and showing off.It's like a muddy puddle. If you want to end, you have to roll in the mud.

On the side, Griffin also frowned, as if he was thinking about something.Yan Beichen shook his head, put those impractical things behind him, and asked, "How is it? Do you want to end?"

"Of course. It's just the mechs of the challenge..." Griffin seemed hesitant.For those who don't have their own mecha, they can only participate in the challenge, choose the mecha in the warehouse, and take the step challenge.This is the bloodiest way, and it is also the one with the highest odds. After all, very few people can control low-level mechas to defeat those high-level defenders.

But Yan Beichen knew that this was definitely not what made Griffin hesitate.He is the guy who dares to face the "Peregrine Falcon" while operating an antique machine, and it is obviously not a big problem to jump up to deal with other mechas.Then the most likely thing is...

"Have you never operated a non-range mecha?" Yan Beichen asked directly.

Griffin seemed to be poked in pain, and hissed: "I'm a long-range player, long-range mechs are the best..."

Of course, this theory will not be recognized by the public, let alone by this "arena".Fighting to the flesh is the most exciting battle. The pirates who are used to air combat have no interest in watching long-range mechs slapping other mechas. Therefore, there are no long-range mechas in the preparatory mechas for the challenge.

This is obviously a problem for Griffin.

Looking at the other party's rare childish complaints, Yan Beichen raised the corners of his mouth in a subtle way: "The most powerful mecha has always been a humanoid machine. Your speed is very agile and your reaction is fast enough. Adding long-range weapons, I am afraid it will be a nightmare for many people..."

It was rare for him to utter such a long string of words.But it's true, and there are people who actually do it.The young Field Marshal of the Oswalds was a model.Thinking of the blond man and his scarlet mech, Yan Beichen's eyes darkened a bit, and he forced himself to change the subject: "If you don't want to try, we can find another job. It doesn't necessarily mean that we have to end up."

This was a word of relief, but Griffin became excited, shook his head, and clenched his fists: "It doesn't matter, you are still here anyway. Even if it is a humanoid machine, a soldier is better than nothing! "

That's right, no one has the luxury to use armored soldiers in this kind of occasion, and even the person in charge of the arena may not have expected this kind of cheating.This is one of their biggest advantages, and it is obviously not Griffin's style to give up such a good opportunity.

Yan Beichen did not refute.He didn't pay much attention to the competition, but he did have some interest in the reserve mechas in the warehouse.After becoming a soldier, the highest-grade mecha that Yan Beichen has come into contact with is the Harrier Assault Machine. The way it senses metal fluctuations inside is simply fascinating.What if it is replaced with another mech?Will there be a completely different sensory appearance from the Harrier?As a knight, he has manipulated almost every type of mecha, knowing their strengths and weaknesses by himself.So as a soldier, it is obviously necessary to get in touch with more different types of mechas.This is a good opportunity for him.

Understand that the companion has no objection.Griffin took a light breath and strode towards the registration point.

Standing in front of the registration desk was a beautiful, smiling woman.This is also an intentional arrangement of the arena. In front of such beauties, there are still many people who will get carried away and can't wait to show their bravery and strength-although what greets them is often only an ending-Griffin is certainly not that kind. He smiled and walked over, and asked, "Excuse me, how do I participate in the Mecha Challenge?"

The beauty was stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't expect such a handsome guy to participate in such a bloody competition, but her professional habits made her quickly answer: "300 bang yuan entry fee, at least 500 bang yuan as the principal to participate in the betting You can choose a reserve mecha at will, and participate in challenges up to three times a day. The target of the battle is randomly selected. The remuneration is calculated according to the odds, and a 40% commission is charged for the game. And..." She added seriously, " We are not responsible for the safety of the participants. The Challenge is a life-or-death contest, and lives are at risk."

This agreement is not harsh, Griffin shrugged casually: "It's done. But can I bring my companions in? I don't want to leave him here alone."

The beauty looked curiously at the black-haired boy standing behind him, and nodded: "Of course, as long as the same person is playing."

With the guarantee he wanted, Griffin quickly signed the deal and bet all his money on it.After the beauty confirmed everything, she gracefully pointed to the passage on the side: "Go straight ahead and you will find the mecha warehouse. You have 45 minutes to choose the mecha. The first match will start in 50 minutes. If you abstain, your The principal will be confiscated in full, and you will never be allowed to participate in MacAzur's mech competition again."

Or die directly and put all the money in the pocket of the arena.Griffin showed a very, very bright smile: "Don't worry, we will not abstain."

Entering the channel, just a few steps, the hustle and bustle of the outfield disappeared from the ear.The protection of the armor warehouse has always been strict, and this place is no exception.The huge warehouse is like the abdomen of some kind of monster, hollow and towering, with a mixed smell of steel, blood and decay.There are about a dozen mechas of various types in the warehouse, the tallest is 9 meters long, and the smallest is more than 3 meters long. In addition to the humanoid mechas, there are also crawler-type heavy-hitting armors and multi-legged field armors. , and some grotesque bionic armors, their ferocious shells make them more intimidating than those humanoid machines.

However, Yan Beichen didn't even look at these mechas. He scanned all the machines in the arena, and he walked directly to a humanoid machine.This is a small and medium-sized machine, with a clear height of only 4.7 meters, and there are not many weapons attached, only a particle light knife and matching shoulder guns.The power system is not damaged, but for the cage-like "battle ring", these accessories are a little bit like nothing.Such a mecha, among those "beasts" and "reckless men" around, is as quiet as a girl.

Griffin blinked. "You want me to use this?"

"MH733, the former Star Alliance mass-produced mech 'Qingye'. It is lighter in weight and faster in movement. It is a very good reconnaissance aircraft. It is also the most suitable model for you at present." Yan Beichen replied calmly road.

Unexpectedly, this guy was able to report all the models, and Griffin immediately hesitated: "Facing those mechas with hard shells, can it withstand it?"

"I can't bear it." Yan Beichen replied bluntly, "So you have to avoid all attacks."

He didn't even ask himself if he could do it, but ordered it directly.Griffin laughed, this kid has confidence in him, full confidence.And that's more useful than all encouragement.

Without saying anything, Griffin asked, "Are you going to debug?"

"Of course, but I need your help." Looking at the height of the mecha, Yan Beichen said pointedly.

There is no special landing gear for soldiers here. If you want to touch the central control core of the mech, it is obviously impossible for Yan Beichen to do it by himself.Griffin understood the meaning of these words, smiled slightly, grabbed the knee of the mecha and rushed up.Griffin had never piloted a humanoid mecha, but his physical skills were definitely not bad. With just a few strokes, he got into the open cockpit.Soon, the steel giant shook, slowly bent its knees, and stretched out a hand forward.

Without hesitation, Yan Beichen stepped on that palm.This is undoubtedly Griffin's first time driving a humanoid mech, but his movements are extremely smooth, the metal palm is not even half shaken, and it is held upright in front of the mecha's drooping head, just like the kind of ancient knight At the award ceremony, he knelt on one knee and raised his palms horizontally, waiting for the knighted sword to fall into his palm.

This is indeed a position suitable for soldiers to operate.

Yan Beichen didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his hands, and pressed them tightly against the huge head of the mecha.The central control core of the mecha is placed here, and it is also the shortest channel for spiritual power transmission.He closed his eyes.

A mess of imprints of spiritual power appeared in front of his eyes.This is not like the infantry battle armor he ignited with his own hands, there is no such pure tranquility.Nor is it like Captain Barnett's Harrier, which lacks a well-maintained rhythm and melody.It's just a fog that obscures the five senses, blocks reflexes, and dulls everything.It's hard to say whether this is caused by years of disrepair, or a masterpiece of "repair" by a trainee soldier.But playing in such a state, waiting for the Cavaliers, there will only be one result.

It was impossible for Yan Beichen to let this result happen.But it was less than 40 minutes before the battle, and it was obviously too late to sort out these engravings of spiritual power.How can it be restored to its best condition?

erase them!Re-brand your spiritual power imprint!

Yan Beichen knew very well that his mental power was not strong enough now, but it should be enough to deal with these remaining engravings.And the wonderful scene I saw in my dream yesterday.If the sea of ​​qi and the spiritual core in the brain are really a complementary double star system, then can mobilizing the sea of ​​qi make the core of spiritual power stronger?

He took a deep breath, slowly retracted the thread of mental power released, and began to compress and condense.At the same time, the sea of ​​qi also began to rotate clockwise, imitating Xingxuan seen in the dream, urging the circulation of qi and blood.It didn't take much effort, a hot current rose in the sea of ​​qi, which was a sign that the inner breath was moving with the mind.And the mental core flickering in his mind also started to rotate in the same way, but it wasn't hot, but had a calming coolness instead.

These two masses of hot and cold substances hovered and entangled up and down his body, but this was not his goal.Yan Beichen collected his mind, no longer controlled the two groups of aura, and concentrated his mind on the central control core of the mecha again.As if they had found a common goal, the two forces suddenly began to stir, as if they wanted to break through the cage that bound them.This time, Yan Beichen did not restrain them.

With a bang, the vortex in the air sea shattered.The churning qi and blood rushed into his body like a heat wave, and his five senses became extremely sharp in an instant, and even the most subtle lines on the mech could be felt in the palm of his hand.And the spiritual perception in the brain spewed out rampantly, like a roaring sea tide, engulfing the enemy in front of him.

With just one breath, the imprint of mental power in the "green leaf" was washed clean, like a newly born blank body.Yan Beichen had controlled "Green Leaf", he knew the best tuning plan for this machine, but he didn't follow it, because it was driven by a knight with a unique personality, and he wanted to provide the knight with the most perfect Mecha!

The five keen senses are like the reins controlling a good horse, reining in the rampant mental power, and he begins to re-deploy, just like composing a new chapter of music, the thread of mental power is fully unfolded, and slowly outlines the picture he needs...

Standing in the cockpit, Griffin was in a daze.In fact, he didn't know how to adjust the armor - no knight can really understand the world of the armor - but less than one meter away from him, the boy was standing there straight, eyes closed, silent doing their own work.His expression was so solemn that it made that too young face look much older.His thin body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, but his steps were so steady, as if he had truly integrated with that mech.On his face, there was an expression that resembled pain but also joy.

All spiritual power is fragile, and the boy is using his weakest part to help him forge the most powerful weapon.

This contrast is almost unbearable.Looking at the young man in front of him in a daze, Griffin forgot the time and even the battle he was about to go to.For the first time, he was distressed that he didn't have a mecha.He wanted to have a more powerful mecha, which would be ignited and maintained by the young man in front of him.He will become his exclusive soldier, the one who will accompany his knight career until the end.

This idea flashed by, and before Griffin could figure out what it represented, the boy in front of him suddenly shook and opened his eyes.Seeing his pale face and sweat all over his head, Griffin immediately said, "How are you?"

He asked about his physical condition, but Yan Beichen chuckled: "The adjustment is completed, the overall speed has been increased by 20%, it will be a little fast and abnormal, but you can control it. The power is stored for 10 seconds, but the power is doubled, so use it at the most critical moment."

Griffin was silent for a second, then laughed: "Don't worry, I will bring you the victory."

Controlling the mecha and slowly putting the person on the ground, Griffin didn't waste any time, turned around and walked towards the entrance passage. 45 minutes had passed, the crystal screen at the entrance flickered frantically, and a hideous mech flashed across the screen. After a few seconds, it finally stopped, and a bionic machine with eight legs appeared on the screen. Mecha. The door to the "battle circle" opened.

Without any pause, "Green Leaf" walked into the door with heavy steps.
