The Prodigal Son Reborn

The short half-day break passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, like many other contestants, Xia Mo came to the empty Zhaohui Stadium wearing training clothes.

After everyone arrived, Principal Frank strode onto the stage in good spirits, "Good morning, everyone!"

There was warm applause from the audience.

"Today is Exxon's ten-year Interstellar Alliance Tournament Qualifiers! We will select the two best teams from hundreds of teams. First, let me briefly introduce the rules of the qualifiers. This qualifier There is no time limit, and only the top two will be selected for the final result. It can be said that the earlier the task is completed, the greater the possibility of winning. The specific content is disclosed here, and the rest can be learned after entering the simulated forest.”

Xia Mozao has become accustomed to the organizer's half-hiding and half-doing style of doing things. He followed Randall and Wu Zhe and walked slowly into the simulated forest. After entering the simulated forest, the huge alloy door slowly closed.

Looking around, the scene in the simulated forest is quite different from the first time I saw it. The dim sky, the endless dry land, it seems that the scene of this game should be a desert...

Before he could speak, he heard screams not far away.

Randall, Chen Qie, and Chen Junyu's reaction speed was particularly fast. As soon as the screams came, Xia Mo, Wu Zhe, and Lance had already been lifted into the air!Zhang Li's reaction speed was quite fast, and he flew into the air immediately after him.

As soon as one person reached mid-air, he saw a three-meter-diameter rotating tooth knife attacking through the air!The tooth blade was extremely sharp, and all the mechs it touched were split into two sections.

Xia Mo hugged Randall's arm tightly with lingering fear, staring at the large area of ​​mecha wreckage below, and asked, "What's going on?!"

Zhang Li wiped off his cold sweat, looked at the giant humanoid mecha not far away, with a gloomy expression, "It's Laurent. It's really unexpected that even the S-class mecha Cangmang was brought out in order to win the competition."

"S-class mech?!" Xia Mo hurriedly followed Zhang Li's line of sight to look over there, and saw a 20-meter-high giant humanoid mech Cangmang in the middle of a piece of broken limbs, like a god of death, exuding Shocking momentum!And around the Cangmang, there were still a few people as small as ants.Looking further into the distance, it was either the contestants running for their lives in a panic, or the damaged mech billowing in green smoke.

In the chaos, Randall and the others who calmly stayed in the air looked extremely dazzling.

Cang Mang put away the toothed knife, turned around slowly, his huge mechanical eyes looked at the seven people in mid-air, he just paused for a second, then raised his arm, and threw the toothed knife with all his strength!

Randall immediately said to Wu Zhe: "Release the Honor 3000X!"

The Honor 3000X appeared in response, and the seven people flashed into the spaceship in an instant.

Chen Qi quickly took control of the operating room, driving the Honor 3000X to avoid the attacks of the tooth knife time and time again.

Randall said sharply: "Don't love to fight, evacuate quickly!"

"Yes!" Chen Qie received the order, and immediately controlled the spaceship to avoid the attack while fleeing the battlefield quickly.

Honor 3000X deserves to be an S-class mecha, even against the giant S-class humanoid mech Cangmang, it even has the advantage of its comrades in speed. In the blink of an eye, the Honor 3000X has disappeared into the dim sky!

Laurent glanced at the wreckage in satisfaction, put away the Blindness and returned to the ground.

The team members immediately tensed up, and said in a hurry: "The Cangmang is really powerful, even Randall has no choice but to run away when he encounters it!"

"Captain Laurent, nearly half of the contestants have been eliminated by us in one fell swoop. Do we need to continue?"

Laurent glanced at the contestants fleeing in a hurry with a smile on his face, and smiled slightly, "There is no need to waste time on them, we just need to complete the task as soon as possible."

------

Inside the Honor 3000X.

Chen Junyu looked at the internal structure of the Honor 3000X with a face full of surprise. With his strength, he could easily see the difference of this spaceship. "I didn't expect that the No. 4 national mech maker really existed?"

Lance whispered: "Didn't the existence of Master X be announced a long time ago?"

Chen Junyu suppressed his anger a little, and smiled softly, "I always thought it was an excuse for the imperial party to calm people's hearts."

Lance was embarrassed, what should he say?

Randall stood among several people, "Have you received any news about the mission?"

Xia Mo, Wu Zhe and Lance shook their heads.

With great difficulty, Chen Junyu withdrew his attention and turned on the optical brain casually. Unexpectedly, a sentence popped up on the optical brain: "The task of this selection competition: find the treasure hidden in the simulated forest—the gold box."

Everyone looked at each other.

Xia Mo accidentally asked with certainty: "Laurent's mission should be different from ours, right?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Li received a message: "Please note that there are only two missions for all teams this time, and the missions you get are likely to be the same as your opponents, so please hurry up."

Chen Junyu said to Xia Mo: "Is this an answer to your question?"

Xia Mo nodded stiffly, "Then, since this is the case, let's hurry up and leave?"

Randall said, "Do you know where the gold chest is?"

"Uh……"

"We must plan on this task, and we must shorten the task completion time. First of all, Wu Zhe, can you find the panoramic view of the simulated forest?"

"It's easy." Wu Zhe lowered his head and quickly manipulated his fingers on the virtual keyboard. The three-dimensional projection in mid-air soon appeared a three-dimensional projection simulating a forest. "The location of the little red dot is our current location."

Seven people formed a circle and stared at the stereoscopic projection carefully.

"Since the prompts we received basically did not describe the location of the gold box, everything can only be done by ourselves," Randall said.

Looking at Wu Zhe at the end of Xia, he thought silently: It would be great if Wu Zhe could decipher the source code. Finding the golden box is a matter of minutes.

"According to the information presented in the projection, we can find that the east and north of the simulated forest are all deserts, while the west and south are strange stone ridges. If you were the invigilators, where would you put the gold box?

"Huh?" Mo Xia stared blankly at Randall, why did he always feel that Randall's words were a bit of a gamble?

Lance said: "If it were me, of course I would hide in the Strange Stone Ridge. As soon as I heard that the Strange Stone Ridge is a good place to hide things."

"On the contrary."

"why?"

"Although the strange stone ridge is easy to hide things, it is also easier for the contestants to identify the direction, locate the landmark reference objects, and avoid the opponent's attack at the same time. But the desert is different. Everywhere in the desert is the same, causing the contestants The pressure will be much greater than that of the strange stone ridge; in addition, it is not easy to hide in the desert, and it is easy to be discovered by the opponent. For this kind of knockout match, the desert is the best place to test."

After listening to Randall's analysis, Xia Mo felt quite reasonable, "So our next destination is the desert area?"

Randall nodded, "At present we don't know the questions drawn by Laurent's team. If they are the same, the encounter between the two parties will definitely greatly consume the fighting power of both sides. I don't want to waste too much energy before the official game, so let's The gold chest must be found before the other teams."

"Yes."

After confirming the target, Chen Wei controlled the Honor 3000X and drove towards the desert area at high speed.

At the same time, Laurent gathered ten people in a circle and were discussing their tasks.

"Find the gold box hidden in the simulated forest? Hey, the simulated forest is so big, where do we have to find it?"

"The gold boxes are metal too, we could do a blanket search with a metal detector, but that would be a waste of time."

"Time is money, and we cannot afford to waste it."

"Then what should we do? There must be a direction, right? There is no direction now?"

A group of people looked at Laurent at the same time.

Laurent was silent for a moment and asked, "In terms of search directions, what good ideas do you have?"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

In the end, a short beta man said, "I suggest finding it in the desert."

Laurent raised an eyebrow.

Everyone asked: "Desert? Why?"

The Beta man scratched his head, "I can't say the specific reason, but if I were the school leader, I would definitely set the target in the desert."

"This..." Everyone turned their attention to Laurent.

Laurent raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Go to the desert!"

-

The Honor 3000X drove to the desert at high speed.

The spaceship hovered in mid-air, and the seven people looked out from the viewing window. The sky and the earth were all in one color, all dark yellow.

Seeing the boundless dust, Xia Mo was very confused, "How should we find it?"

Zhang Li said: "There is a characteristic in the desert, that is, the distribution of various substances is relatively uniform. I suggest that we divide into three groups and use remote detectors for investigation. The detection range of the remote detectors is 100 meters in diameter. The three groups Moving forward in parallel, each round can detect 300 meters. If it goes well, the target may be found soon."

"What if Laurent and the others come over halfway?" This is what worries the end of Xia most.

"If they really come here, under the same mission, they can only face each other head-on. Whoever has the biggest fist is the boss."

"Okay, hurry up and act."

Zhang Li made a division of labor among the seven people, including Randall and Xia Mo as a team; Chen Qi and Wu Zhe as a team; Chen Junyu, Lance and Zhang Li as a team.After confirming the personnel, everyone immediately activated the remote detector.

Randall's team, Randall and Xia Mo are both sitting in the Pluto.Although it was inevitable that Mo Xia would feel depressed, fortunately, they would not feel embarrassed because they had nothing to say because they were doing things now and in the future.

Chen Wei and Wu Zhe took the Honor 3000X, they were probably the most relaxed and happy group.Chen Qi has always been adhering to alpha's usual reticence and aloofness, while Wu Zhe has always believed that everyone except him is mentally retarded, so the two did not talk to each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Chen Junyu, Lance and Zhang Li were on the Honor 3000, a miniature spaceship synthesized by Chen Junyu himself.

As soon as he entered the spaceship, Zhang Li automatically took over the task of controlling the remote detector.

Lance was in a panic, looking at the spaceship from the corner of his eyes.

While paying attention to the surrounding situation, Chen Junyu observed Lance's expression from the corner of his eye. After Lance finished watching the internal structure of the spaceship, he said, "Of course it can't be compared with the Honor 3000X."

Lance nodded unceremoniously, "That's right, the Honor 3000X belongs to me, but it's the famous work of master X, a state-level mech maker. How can you compare to him?"

Chen Junyu smiled, his eyelids drooped slightly, making it hard to see his gaze, "I don't know if I have the honor to meet the great Master X?"
