It was already 11:30 when the two returned to the dormitory together. Lin Yuan was sweating all over from training just now. He went back to the bedroom to take a shower and dry his hair. .

I was so excited about practicing just now that Lin Yuan still doesn't feel sleepy at all.

Lin Yuan simply put on the helmet placed beside the bed, and entered the holographic network system for the first time since entering the school.

Today's network systems are divided into holographic networks and flat networks. Holographic networks can be used for various entertainment, shopping, games, and making friends, while flat networks are usually used for information retrieval and literature review. Get used to searching with keywords, instead of flipping through books from store to store like Holographic Network.

Lin Yuan put on the helmet, relaxed his limbs, and his body soon entered the holographic network of the empire.

Just like what I told Caesar just now, his name on the holographic network is "Yuanyuan", which was registered when he was ten years old, and his shape is a small round snowball.

The aesthetics when I was a child... Lin Yuan didn't comment on it.

The appearance on the virtual network can be chosen at will, so it is normal to see all kinds of bouncing animals, plants, handsome men, beauties...even dinosaurs when walking on the streets of the holographic network.

This is a virtual and novel world.

Of course, it is inevitable that children will be frightened, and those beasts with scary shapes have been adjusted into Q versions.

Xiaoxueqiu Lin Yuan walked to the A1 street in the shopping area familiarly.

This street A1 is dedicated to the sale of mechas, where various types of smart mechas are sold. Of course, mechas above B-level are controlled by the government, and only CDE-level mechas can be sold directly.

Lin Yuan walked into a very large shop and drooled silently when he saw the mechas of various colors displayed there.

This store sells the most mechas and is the most comprehensive. It occupies the first place in the reputation list of mecha stores all the year round, and its service attitude is also very good. New mechas are purchased every month. It is said that it is direct The latest and most complete mechs obtained from the first-hand source of mechas from the mecha factory on the side of the Cepheus make this store an endless stream of customers.

When Lin Yuan was at home, he often visited this store to relieve his hunger.

As soon as he entered the store, he saw a red mecha on the highest exhibition stand. He has been paying attention to this mecha for a long time. This human-shaped red mecha is the latest model this year, and its shape is very beautiful. The new metal on his body reflects the light in the room and looks beautiful.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and asked politely, "Boss, how much is this mech?"

The boss said with a smile: "This is the new Saier-C3 mecha released this year. If you want it, I will give it to you at a lower price, 45 crystal coins."

"...Uh, I didn't bring enough money."

The boss continued to smile and said: "It's okay, come back after saving enough money. Or you can also look at other mechas? How about the white one? Although the model is a bit old, the price is much cheaper, only 20 crystal coins .”

"..." Lin Yuan swallowed silently, turned and left the mech shop.

No money, too miserable...

45, isn't it enough to sell him?

It seems that it is impossible to save money to buy a mecha. I can only hope that after I successfully graduate, I will serve in a better army, and then I will be allocated a good house to take my mother and sister to live in, and I can share it with myself. to a mech...

Looking forward to a bright future when you are hit is really motivating.

With a happy mood, Lin Yuan turned around and walked to the C1 street in the game area.

Just like A1 Street in the shopping area and B1 Street in the entertainment area, C1 Street, the first street in the game area, is also the busiest street in the entire game area. There was a traffic jam, but seeing so many people gathered together, Lin Yuan still thought it was very spectacular.

The reason why C1 street is the most popular is because this is the mecha game area, many children like Lin Yuan who can't afford mechas at home like to come here for virtual online battles.

Unlike the reality so skinny, the world of the Internet is quite happy.Everyone who registers here for the first time can be allocated a C-class mecha that the system gives away for free. Although it is a very old CR model, it is better than nothing.

Moreover, in online battles, mechs can be upgraded. As long as you win a game with a CR-type low-level mecha, the system will reward you with certain points. After you have accumulated enough points, you can modify and upgrade the mecha. , and can buy new mechs in the virtual store.

Lin Yuan has been playing here since he was 15 years old, and it has been three years now. His mecha has now been upgraded to CA level, which is the highest level in the holographic network mecha battle.

Lin Yuan walked into the public hall and found that the hall seemed to be much busier than usual. Is there any event?

Lin Yuan curiously walked to the screen in the hall.

"Is the little prince really here?"

"He hasn't been online for a long time! Why did he suddenly appear today!"

"Experts ask for a group photo!"

Seeing the swiping messages on the wall-sized public chat screen in front of him, Lin Yuan finally understood why the game hall was so lively today.

The little prince—this ID is known to everyone in the world of holographic network mech battles.

It is said that he has killed invincible opponents all over the world on the Internet, and has never been defeated. He topped the battle rankings with a 100% winning rate and 3000 million points. For many years, no one has surpassed him. He is simply a god-like existence.

Lin Yuan has been hearing various legends about him since he started playing duels, but he has never seen him appear.

I didn't expect to go online occasionally today, but I happened to meet such a god-level character and also went online.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but get excited when he was infected by everyone's excitement.

What made him even more excited was that the guy named Little Prince actually opened a room in the hall, and the name of the room was so decisive that it made people gnash their teeth - begging for cruelty.

Isn't this person too arrogant?Is he sure that no one can abuse him?

Lin Yuan couldn't help but think, the online name is actually called Little Prince, with such a vulgar name, this guy obviously doesn't have very good taste, maybe he can't afford mechas at home like himself, so he can only play mechas online poor boy.

Seeing "Suspiciousness" hanging arrogantly at the first place in the room, Lin Yuan's fighting spirit suddenly ignited.

His winning rate in online mech battles is also above 85%. This prince's winning rate is actually 100%. This is too exaggerated. This kind of 100% winning rate makes people want to beat him up!

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate anymore, and directly applied to join the room to challenge, and the application was approved soon.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, the room was locked, and only spectators were allowed and no other mechas were allowed to join the battle.

Only Lin Yuan's RA177 and the opponent's RA101 were left in the ring, and the surrounding stands were densely packed with heads.

Both of them have mecha numbers starting with RA, obviously they are the most advanced mechas in the online mecha battle so far, but Lin Yuan's is a red humanoid, while the opponent is... a white bird?

The appearance of the mecha can be divided into land combat and air combat. The land combat mecha has the shapes of human, wolf, fox, scorpion, spider, lion, snake, etc. The humanoid mecha is the most common type of land combat mecha. Ability is also relatively balanced.Air combat mechas include dragons, birds, bees, phoenixes, butterflies, etc., and the characteristics of different mechas are also different.

Only S-level mechas can be transformed into the above-mentioned various shapes, and mechas of other levels cannot be transformed.It's a pity that the manufacturing cost of S-class mechas is too high, and there are only about ten of them in the entire empire.The main forces of the mecha teams of the major legions are still C-level mechas. For different combat needs, it is quite necessary to manufacture different mecha shapes.

Seeing that the other party was operating a white bird, Lin Yuan was not afraid. Although the air combat mecha could fly, it was not as stable as the land combat mecha. Besides, the C-level mecha could not fly high, and it crashed after being bombarded. Death is quite a slap in the face.

Lin Yuan said unconvinced: "Is the undefeated myth true? Come, teach me!"

The other party smiled and said: "Okay, here I will teach you, don't worry."

"..."

This guy is too arrogant!

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, operated his CA177, made a beautiful jump in the air, rushed up unceremoniously, pulled out the giant electromagnetic knife on his back, and slashed at the opponent's neck!

The angle of this knife is very good, almost covering the entire head of the opponent within the attack range of the electromagnetic knife, even if the opponent immediately spreads his wings and flies high, he will definitely hit the blade!

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience——

Unexpectedly, the other party did not choose to fly, but flexibly bowed and lowered his head, and suddenly ran from under the shoulder socket of the humanoid mecha to his back!

Lin Yuan missed a single blow, and seeing the opponent dodge, he immediately turned around and kicked a neat roundabout kick!

The white bird flew up very simply, and the mecha that spread its wings and soared into the air cast a huge shadow on the ground.

Lin Yuan immediately raised the arms of the mecha to [-] degrees, stretched and retracted the elbows, and the particle cannon hidden in the arms of the mecha unceremoniously fired three bombs in a row!The three bullets were launched with extremely precise routes. The three particle cannons operated separately and hit the bird's wings, abdomen, and head at the same time. As long as one shot hits, there is a danger of crashing and dying!

The onlookers almost held their breath...

At this critical moment, the bird suddenly flipped 360 degrees to the right, and the three particle cannons flew past its wings dangerously!

The auditorium immediately boiled——

"Oh my god, you can dodge this!"

"Instead, I would have been blasted to pieces!"

"A 360-degree side flip in the air! The pilot himself has to follow the mech and flip around. Isn't he dizzy? I feel dizzy just looking at it!"

"The little prince is indeed the number one master! He is really too strong!"

"This Yuanyuan is also very strong. The angle of the three cannonballs just now might not have been avoided by other people!"

"To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't even be able to avoid the first blow..."

"They are all masters!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience. On the battlefield, Lin Yuan still operated his humanoid mecha with high spirits, chasing the bird and ran around the field. !

Lin Yuan was extremely depressed!

On the surface, it looks like the other party is being chased and beaten, but in fact he is completely at a disadvantage. After fighting for a long time, he didn't take advantage of it, but the other party took him for a walk like a pet. It was such an easy walk.

Lin Yuan hasn't played so excitedly for a long time!

Such a disadvantage has instead inspired his fighting spirit. Recalling the intensive attack training in the training room today, the more difficult the situation is, the less aggressive he is. Passionate blood is a good thing, too hot-blooded can only be manipulated by the opponent.

Lin Yuan quickly calmed himself down, retracted the particle cannon, stood in place, and prepared for a defensive counterattack.

At this moment, the system suddenly reminded that the time was up, and the two mechas were directly sent back to the maintenance point on the diagonal.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment—the online battle has a time limit of 10 minutes. Has he and that guy actually been fighting for 10 minutes?In normal battles, the opponent is usually dealt with in 3 minutes, and when encountering a master, the opponent is also dealt with in 3 minutes. This is the first time Lin Yuan has encountered such a situation where the winner was still undecided after 10 minutes.

Lin Yuan thought with some doubts: Why didn't he fight back?In fact, if he fought back, he would have been defeated long ago.

Sure enough, the thinking of a master is incomprehensible to normal people.

In this battle, because there were no casualties in the two mechas, the system automatically scored according to the operations of the two sides during the battle, and the final winner was the little prince, who was rewarded with 300 points.

There was a warm applause at the scene.

Lin Yuan said a little unconvinced: "Come again!"

The other party said: "I won't come, I'm sleepy."

...Why is the way this guy speaks so beating?

Lin Yuan was silent for a while, took the initiative to add him as a friend, and chatted privately: "Then will you come again?"

What he said was like a child holding an adult's hand and asking him eagerly: Is there any candy?

After Lin Yuan said this, he couldn't help but blush a little.

On the other hand, the little prince still said calmly, "Come on, I'm relatively free recently."

Lin Yuan immediately said excitedly: "Then tomorrow night at this time, shall we have another match?"

The little prince yawned, "Why should I compare with you, your level is too low."

Lin Yuan: "..."

The little prince said, "Unless you take me as your teacher."

Lin Yuan: "..."

The little prince said: "How is it? I think your awareness is not bad, but you lack practical experience. If you recognize me as your master, I can spare some time to teach you."

... This man has a really thick skin.

But the strength is indeed very strong.

How strong is it?When I confronted him, I was completely powerless to fight back.

Anyway, he is currently the number one expert on the online mecha battle platform, and Lin Yuan doesn't feel that he is at a disadvantage by worshiping him as his teacher.Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said simply: "Okay, Master! Please advise!"

"Well, be good~" The little prince sent a hugging emoji, and then transferred directly to 1000000 points.

——Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.

Is this 100 million?Did he count correctly?

This guy has too many points, right?Scaring people to death as soon as he makes a move, he is indeed a legendary master...

But... the feeling of being taken care of by Master is still very happy!

The little prince said: "Take the points to exchange for mechas. You can't improve by playing with human mechas all the time. You can try wolf mechas in land combat mechas and flying birds in air combat. After mastering these two, other mechas will be better." It won't be difficult."

"Okay, thank you Master!"

Lin Yuan took the points transferred by his master and went to the mecha store on the battle platform to exchange for a silver wolf-shaped mecha. It cost 50 yuan, and the remaining 50 yuan was added to his original remaining 30 yuan. Just in time for a red bird.

On the online battle platform, many masters own several mechas. Lin Yuan doesn't have many points, and only has one humanoid mecha, which was upgraded from the one originally sent by the system.

Today, I paid homage to an expert master, and actually got two new mechs all at once. Lin Yuan was very excited. He entered the cockpit of the new mecha to try out the feel, and then carefully locked the newly purchased mech in the space. Only then did I quit the Internet contentedly and went to sleep.

※※※※※

In the bedroom next door, Caesar took off his helmet for accessing the virtual network, and gently rubbed his temples.

Pretending to be an arrogant master to accept Lin Yuan as a disciple, in fact, there is only one purpose——

The stranger gave Lin Yuan something directly, and he would definitely not accept it due to his temper.After becoming his master, there is a reason to give him anything in the future, and it is more convenient to teach him, and he can get closer to him... right?

The author has something to say:

Seeing a lot of people complaining about the little prince's screen name, here is a little extra theater——

Five-year-old Nishizawa saw Brian dismantling mechs every day to play, and suddenly became very interested in mechas. The mechs in the palace cannot be touched casually, so Nishizawa wanted to go online to play mech battles.

Caesar: Brother Wang, I want to go to the hologram network to play mech battles. I need to bind an identity card for network registration. What name should I register?

Xi Wei: ... Let's call him the little prince!

Caesar: But won't people guess my identity?

Xi Wei: You are stupid!Your name is the little prince, who would have guessed that you are really a prince?This is called surprise or not!

Caesar: Oh!What's your name, Brother Wang?

Xi Wei: ...

Caesar: Brother Wang, what is your name?I'll be your friend!

Xi Wei: The eldest prince.

Caesar: ...

Compared with Bryan's incompetence in naming, Brother Wang's incompetence in naming is obviously a step up!

Please try your best to complain, Caesar's "Little Prince" was named after Er Que's elder brother Xi Wei when he was a child.
