Silicon Invasion

The computer lab, officially Building 36 of the teaching complex, houses dozens of mecha simulation battle rooms.

Stepping into this building filled with a sense of science fiction, the interesting thing is that the interior begins with a long corridor. This corridor is decorated in a rather retro style. If Luo Rui wasn't sure he was entering the computer lab, he would have thought it was a library.

The corridor walls are covered with picture frames, some featuring outstanding figures from Beishan Academy, and others displaying maps of exploration areas like Maikan, beautiful photos of mechas, and images and introductions of silicon-based beasts.

Although the computer lab is a core facility of the school and usually attracts many people, today it is particularly crowded. Some students, unaware of the situation, already felt something was up. Now, seeing a large group of people swarming in, they immediately understood that there was a spectacle to watch.

"Hey, what's going on?" A senior student from the third year curiously asked a junior.

"A prodigy was admitted to the 25th grade, and some people are not convinced. They blocked him on his first day. The newcomer is also stubborn and accepted the challenge directly, and they're fighting now."

The junior pursed his lips, his tone a bit sour. Before coming to Beishan Academy, he was also the center of attention, but now he could only stand in the corner, chatting about gossip, playing the role of a passerby.

"There's such a good thing?" The third-year senior's eyes lit up. Although they were all lower-grade juniors, he might not learn anything from watching their match. But was this about learning?

Of course not!

He took out his phone: "Hey? Computer lab, come quickly! What? A date? Date my ass! Someone's about to fight here! Okay, okay, I'll wait for you here."

"Hey? Lao San, hurry up..."

The third-year senior made seven or eight calls in a row before putting his phone away with satisfaction. Turning his head, he saw the junior giving him a strange look. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, raised his hand and patted the junior's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Hehe, since we've encountered something like this, we must share it. It's not good to hog it all for yourself."

The junior deeply agreed with this. Last time, he didn't call anyone when he watched the excitement and even posted a short video to show off. He was scolded when he got back. Fortunately, the senior reminded him, otherwise, he would have made a big mistake again this time.

Seeing the junior also taking out his phone, the senior nodded silently, 'A promising young man.' He could add him on Duoxin once he was done with this.

Luo Rui curiously looked around along the way. He only recognized a few of the human portraits, but he could recognize most of the images of silicon-based beasts. Following the crowd, he followed Xiong Wu to the third floor.

The students were all young people in their twenties, full of vigor, and coupled with the specialty of their major, some private fights were inevitable.

And battles in virtual reality could easily extend to real life after some face-to-face taunting.

Therefore, the school initially explicitly prohibited such private duels.

But such things cannot be forbidden just by saying so. Since the school didn't allow it, they could only develop outside the school, and several accidents occurred, which didn't look good.

Since then, the school also reflected on itself, believing that since this kind of thing was unavoidable, it was better to guide than to block, and it would be better to regularize it and bring it under the control of the school to minimize the probability of fighting accidents.

Thus, the Mutual Learning and Assistance Arena Broadcasting Room was born. Because the official name was too convoluted, the students gave it a nickname - the Arena Room.

The Arena Room is divided into individual rooms and group rooms. The individual rooms have two machines for 1V1 duels, while the group rooms have eleven machines, supporting up to 5V5 team fights. One machine is reserved for emergencies, which is very thoughtful.

Between the individual rooms and the group rooms is a huge hall with a large broadcasting screen and more than a dozen sub-screens. The screens connect the individual rooms and the group rooms, and can broadcast the exciting battles inside in real-time.

This facility is usually not open to the public and is not used for ordinary machine practice, but students can apply to the school as long as they reach a duel agreement. The school will send a special teacher to act as a referee, maintain order in the hall, and avoid certain uncivilized behaviors after the game.

After Luo Rui agreed, Xiong Wu immediately applied for the Arena Room. The application was approved at lightning speed. After all, many teachers also wanted to see the quality of the prodigy.

With the gimmick of the prodigy, the school had already anticipated that the scale of this duel would be far greater than others, so it sent five teachers to the scene to maintain order.

However, even so, the school still underestimated the appeal of the prodigy.

In the huge viewing room, more than three hundred seats were quickly filled with students who came to watch the excitement. Those who were a little late immediately regretted it. Soon, disputes occurred in several areas due to some seat-grabbing issues. The five teachers were overwhelmed, but they still couldn't take care of everything and had to request support.

Some students were too lazy to argue about seat-grabbing, so they found a place to stand and wait. Some students simply sat on the floor, directly on the stairs...

As a result, the originally spacious staircase became crowded and blocked, making it very inconvenient to move around, which led to some conflicts and disputes.

Fortunately, the school had already learned about the situation, and more than a dozen teachers participated in maintaining order.

They had actually arrived earlier, but they were hiding among the students to enjoy some leisure. Before, they were quite gloating when they saw their colleagues busy, but they didn't expect the tables to turn so quickly.

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Luo Rui had already separated from his three roommates and, as one of the contestants, entered the Arena Room through a special passage. Here, there was a one-way glass, allowing him to see the situation in the hall outside.

Luo Rui had been watched by others during battles before, but at that time, there were only a dozen or twenty people at most. He had never experienced such a scene where hundreds of people were waiting to watch his battle.

But he had imagined such a scene. Once in a dream, he dreamed of a similar scene, with many people cheering, jumping for joy, looking forward to his game, and looking forward to sharing his glory.

It's just that the faces in the dream were blurred and unreal. Now, everyone's face outside was so clear and real. He saw his three roommates, some classmates he had seen in class but didn't know their names, and even saw teachers Fu and Li, but they seemed very busy now...

For a moment, Luo Rui felt like he was in a dream. He lowered his head, and his palm was already stretched out. He clenched his fist hard, powerful and real!

He had really reached this point, so fast!

He trembled slightly with excitement.

"Scared?"

Luo Rui was just moved by himself when suddenly a voice awakened him.

Damn it!

He had never felt that a voice could be so annoying!

He would have to make its owner realize how impolite this behavior was in a moment.
