Ninth class citizen

Chapter 184 L28 VS K31
Wu Lu's eyesight was better than many people present, and he had already seen that Nan Rong's first two victories were not flukes.

She drew her sword very quickly and had a strong fighting instinct, so she was able to successfully predict the opponent's movements and wait there with her sword horizontal.

But now that he knew it, he would never make the same mistake again by underestimating the enemy.

Close combat should be the opponent's strong point, and Wu Lu has no confidence in being able to deal with such a fast sword, so he can only choose long-range attack.

Wu Lu is very familiar with L28 and is confident that he can teach Nan Rong a good lesson.

An ordinary mecha fighting arena was not suitable for L28's performance, so he chose an ancient altar as the battlefield.

Inside the monitoring room, Colonel Gu had watched a number of fighting videos of outstanding players, and was now pacing slowly in front of the surround screen, casually watching the performances of other players.

A few of the kids were indeed okay, but they were just okay and couldn't arouse the slightest interest in him.

So he just glanced and passed by, without his eyes staying on anyone for even a second.

Chairman Wei of the organizing committee followed him silently, and now he said, "Colonel Gu, it's getting late. Those outstanding contestants have basically finished their battles. Do you want to ask them to come over to meet you, or should I personally take you to have a midnight snack and then rest?"

Colonel Gu did not answer. His eyes inadvertently swept across a small picture one foot square, and the steps he had taken forward suddenly retreated.

Chairman Wei hadn't responded yet and continued, "We prepared Xiluo Star's specialty, ginger-baked white crab, paired with starry sky wine, it's so delicious."

Because he was half a step behind, he did not see Colonel Gu frowning slightly.

Instead, an adjutant stopped him and said, "Chairman Wei, please keep quiet."

Chairman Wei did not feel humiliated at all.

He knew very well that although this Colonel Gu was also the Dean of Academic Affairs of the First Federal Military Academy, his main position was the de facto commander of the First Army Mechanized Division, a close subordinate of Army Commander Major General Connor, and had a promising future - he was not at all on the same level as a minor official like him who served on a ninth-class star.

In fact, before Colonel Gu arrived, Chairman Wei thought that those who came to watch the game and discuss enrollment intentions from major top universities were ordinary teachers from the school affairs office. He never expected that the First Military Academy would send such a big shot.

This also shows that they attach great importance to this enrollment.

Chairman Wei has been thinking about who the other party might be coming for. He went through all the seeded players who were shortlisted for the school team this year in his mind and even thought of Yu Lin.

The son of third-class citizen Yu Xingchang, although he has made a name for himself in the field of genetic optimization, he is also a third-level warrior.

In recent years, all major federal military academies have been expanding their enrollment and have added many new majors. The First Military Academy may have established a genetic optimization college this year, so Yu Lin would be quite suitable.

As he thought about it, he suddenly felt that this idea might actually be reliable.

When Colonel Gu watched the battle videos of those seeded players just now, he didn't say a word, maybe because he was not satisfied.

If I had known this earlier, I would have brought all-around players from each team to tonight’s simulation competition so that the opponent could observe more comprehensively.

That's why he said those words to make amends just now. He planned to invite Yu Lin to come and have dinner with Colonel Gu later.

I didn't expect that Colonel Gu didn't have this idea. Actually, it was just a training camp, the official competition hadn't started yet, and other colleges and universities that were watching the competition hadn't arrived yet. I was indeed too eager.

The main reason was that the aura of Colonel Gu and his group was too strong, which made him unconsciously adopt a people-pleasing personality.

Chairman Wei pursed his lips, looked up at the small picture that aroused the interest of Colonel Gu, and then waved his hand in dissatisfaction.

The examiner in charge of the operation was startled and quickly adjusted the screen to the maximum.

The identities of the two opponents were clearly displayed on the screen:

Nan Rong from Xiluo Xinghua VS Wu Lu from Hanhai University. The former uses a K31 mecha, while the latter uses an L28.

Chairman Wei remembered the names of these two candidates.

They are all all-round players and have made positive contributions to their team's qualification in the group stage.

In his mind, these two people are seeded players in the second tier. Although they cannot be compared with the gifted ones like Yu Lin, Caesar, and Delawell, they are still outstanding and do not rule out the possibility of entering top universities.

Before the training camp, Chairman Wei read the materials submitted by the examiners of each sub-competition area, and they all spoke highly of the outstanding players of the teams that qualified from this division. There were inevitably some exaggerations in the comments, such as Nan Rong had never been a certified mecha warrior, so how could he fight against a military medium-sized mecha and win?

But this practice occurs in every inter-school league. The examiners have various reasons, and the experienced Chairman Wei has long learned to squeeze out the water and retain the essence.

Now seeing the mechas chosen by the two, Chairman Wei became more certain of his judgment.

Although the current simulation competition is only open to micro mechas, there are so many types of micro mechas.

Any mecha warrior with a little ability would not choose a basic mecha like the K31, and a mecha warrior who can only use it would never be able to catch the eye of Colonel Gu.

But the L28 is different. This mecha has strong mobility and firepower, and it is very popular with the military in actual combat. The mecha division of the First Army is equipped with many mechas of the same type. I think this is one of the reasons why Colonel Gu paid attention to it.

The countdown on the screen ended, and K31 and L28 moved at the same time.

L28 quickly flew up, and taking advantage of the terrain, he leaped over the broken stone pillars, while launching a powerful fire attack on K31 that was rushing towards him.

Chairman Wei nodded repeatedly. He did not expect that Wu Lu from Hanhai University had such a thorough understanding of the performance of L28 and could operate it very skillfully.

He thought of his duties and quickly introduced them to Colonel Gu who was standing with his hands behind his back:
"The one driving the L28 is Wu Lu from Hanhai University. He is a third-level mecha warrior who was just certified before the competition. He is also a first-level earth-type extraordinary ability user. His overall strength ranks among the top ten players in this session."

"Tsk, this 360-degree offside backflip is really beautiful!" Chairman Wei couldn't help but praise: "The four energy weapons are fired in turn, and the cooling window is also controlled quite perfectly. It seems that there will be no suspense in this fight."

Colonel Gu raised the corners of his lips slightly and agreed with him for the first time: "Indeed, the battle will be over soon."

Chairman Wei was somewhat flattered. He looked at Nan Rong, who was trapped in the dazzling source energy light bomb, and felt that this contestant actually had a hard time:

"In fact, Nan Rong is not bad. She was able to hold out for so long under the full firepower of the L28, which shows her extraordinary combat instincts. She can be said to have won an honorable defeat. Of course, her main job is a genetic optimizer. She passed the second-level certification at such a young age. She will probably go to the Federal Genetic Optimization College or a professional college like Capital University of Science and Technology in the future."
