In addition to participating in the component design, Kama University also applied for clothing design and jewelry making projects. Several clever school team members handed in two pieces of jewelry and eight sets of cold-resistant clothing, with an estimated value of 8 cowens.

When Nan Rong saw this, he looked towards Caesar who was standing not far away, and was a little surprised that Caesar still knew how to be gentle and considerate to women.

The latter reacted extremely quickly. He immediately turned around and looked at her coldly, then turned back with an expressionless face.

This person's personality is really bad. Nan Rong curled his lips, and suddenly received a friend request on the communicator.

There is no such thing as nicknames on the communicator dedicated to the group stage. Everyone's name is set, the old-fashioned "school + name", and it cannot be changed.

Nan Rong blinked and approved Caesar's application.

In the blink of an eye, the other party sent the first message.

Caesar: "Did you lead the renovation of K31? Or was it Tao Yu?"

Nan Rong: "Does it matter who it is?"

Caesar: "It's very important. Because I also have a micro mecha, and I want to find a reliable modification engineer."

Nan Rong: "Your school should have excellent component department tutors."

Caesar: ".But they can't do it. They can improve the performance of K31 to such a high level in just two days."

Nan Rong: "So you have money?"

Caesar: ".It will be after the inter-school league."

Nan Rong: "Then wait until you get the bonus."

The other party did not reply, and Nan Rong no longer paid attention to a client who was short of money.

The fourth place was Savannah University. Hussein University did not like the few tubes of raw liquid they synthesized, so they exchanged them for 1400 Cowens.

The fifth place went to Baimang Chaowu University. The students from their Components School, in addition to the stolen third-level extraordinary item, also used extra second-level materials to make a dagger embryo.

Although it was not inscribed, it looked good and was valued at 1200 koens.

The sixth place was Drake Exploration University. Although their mecha was stolen, the students in their academy had all taken wilderness survival courses, and they specially collected some ingredients to process into fast food that tasted great and was easy to preserve, in exchange for 760 Cowans.

The only team with zero points is Hershkod University.

Nan Rong thought of the simple-minded Tao Yu and looked towards the team from Hexi University of Science and Technology.

Tao Yu didn't seem to be excluded because of the modification.

Several classmates surrounded him. Although the atmosphere was a little depressing, everyone had seen the precedent of Drake exploring the university and understood that no matter how good the modification was, it would most likely aid the enemy, so no one took their anger out on him.

After the rankings are announced, the second phase of material distribution begins.

As the first place, Xiluo Xinghua received a big gift package containing a large number of cold-resistant clothing, weapons, source energy blocks, intermediate energy bars, solidified water, field tents and other supplies.

The supplies that Hexi Nengwu received were 30% less than those of Xiluo Xinghua in every aspect, and General Manager Jin took people to pick and choose, and took away some of the source energy blocks and weapons. The members of Hexi Nengwu looked at them with anger in their eyes and wanted to attack, but they were stopped by Caesar.

"Captain, are we really going to just watch them ride on our heads?"

Caesar looked at the backs of General Manager Jin and the others and smiled grimly: "Do you think they can keep those things?"

What he said was absolutely right. At this moment, the eyes of other school teams looking at Xiluo Xinghua all became secretive and playful.

The rules for the second phase of the competition have been posted on each team’s bulletin board after the distribution of supplies has been completed.

Similar to what the school teams had guessed before, this group competition was different from previous competitions in simulated spaces. Instead, it adopted a combination of wilderness survival and actual combat.

This stage of the competition takes 3 days. Each team needs to find at least one mission item, plus the rewards from clearing out strange beasts along the way and the ranking when reaching the finish line, all of which have predetermined points.

In addition, the performance of all-around players during these three days will also be recorded by the communicators they carry with them, and the scores will be determined by the central intelligent computer, with the highest score not exceeding 20% of the team's total score and included in the total score.

Although on the surface, there is no direct competition between teams during the game, and the competition system even stipulates that the competition should be civilized and avoid death or disability. The violating teams will be deducted points or given other penalties by the stadium inspectors, but this is actually tantamount to tacitly approving controllable conflicts between teams.

If the supplies obtained by Kama University, which came in third, could barely allow them to survive in the wild for three days, the teams behind them would be stretched to the limit. As for the last-placed Hershkod University, each person only received the most rudimentary cold-resistant clothing, and no other weapons, energy, or food. I'm afraid they couldn't even last a day.

Under such circumstances, Xiluo Xinghua was like a child walking in a busy city with treasures in his arms, arousing the covetousness of various teams.

The mentor team was released again and returned to the dormitory with the teams for a one-hour tactical discussion.

During this period, Dean Mei Yun of the Mecha Academy frequently looked at Nan Rong with a serious expression and sighed every now and then, which made her a little confused.

It was not until the tactical seminar was over and all the school team members began to organize their equipment and distribute the supplies they were carrying that Mei Yun stood up and walked to Nan Rong. She sighed again, which made her frown and clench her fists.

The competition is about to start, but bad luck comes to her and she complains. Isn't this asking for trouble?
Fortunately, she still remembered the occasion and forced herself not to confront him in public, but a cold face was inevitable.

But Mei Yun didn't notice her indifference at all, and took the initiative to speak:

"Xiao Nan, I really didn't think it through this time." He said in a resentful voice: "If I had known that there would be no time for running-in training in this group match, I should have arranged special mecha training before the game. With your understanding and combat instinct, with a little guidance, you may be able to reach the level of a first-level mecha warrior."

"I didn't expect the competition to be so tightly scheduled this time. I couldn't even spare a few days. I wasted a modified mecha for nothing."

Nan Rong inserted a standard dagger into his boot, tied the straps and stood up.

"Nothing will be wasted." She put the various supplies allocated to her into her backpack and said lightly.

"Huh?" Dean Mei Yun asked in surprise, "Didn't you modify three mechas? But there are only two mecha soldiers in the team. Are there others who can drive mechas?"

"Yeah. I've learned a little bit. I can't say for other mechas, but the micro mechas shouldn't be a problem."

Dean Mei Yun turned her head abruptly and looked around at the other members of the combat team, but couldn't see any of them who looked like they could drive a mecha.

"Who is that person you're talking about?" he asked. "Why didn't you mention that during the tactical discussion? We need to readjust our formation."
