High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

In the forums, the Battle.net page continues to gain popularity.

Lingyun Zhuangzhi: I don't know where this champion's son came from. Luo Jiuli's teammates are all different now. He's a die-hard fan from the first year.

As dawn broke, the reply came: "No wonder the Luo family's animal husbandry is so advanced, they've managed to kill monsters like this."

Shocking revelation: In a rational discussion, Luo Jiuli has recruited two former champions, "Mad Dog" and "Water God," into her team this time. Their skills are absolutely no less than Li Rufeng's, and with better equipment, Luo Jiuli clearly has a higher chance of winning.

As dawn broke, the reply came: I just can't stand the faces of those filial sons. What's the point of winning like this?

Tang Hao: I think Lin Shuxuan's animal husbandry skills are not bad either; he has a filial son growing up so quickly.

As dawn broke, the reply came: "The defeated foe has now jumped out?"

Tang Hao replied: I*you*

The forum atmosphere was initially one of discussion, but as more posts like "Luo Chu" and "Lin Chu" appeared, it turned into a variety of personal attacks.

After closing the forum page, Lin Shuxuan asked Li Rufeng:

"What exactly is the competition format? How come the previous champions are on Luo Jiuli's team?"

Li Rufeng was still browsing the forum, expanding his vocabulary of insults, when he heard this and explained:

"We were previously playing in the regional finals. The Tianbangxing region has the highest intensity, and generally speaking, we will be the winner of the grand finals."

I understand now, Tianbangxing is LCK... Lin Shuxuan has made his judgment.

"The two people Luo Jiuli found were the champions from the previous two years. Generally speaking, senior military academy students are required to go to the ecological zone for internships. I wonder what kind of price was promised to get them to return to school."

Lin Shuxuan didn't ask Li Rufeng why he couldn't find a similar expert. Although his roommate had a handsome appearance, he was somewhat eccentric and serious.

During this period of school opening, he will only talk to him and Qin Yuanba, or attack Lu Xiaoguo.

Although it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a top-tier player on Battle.net, the other party hasn't done so yet.

"Don't worry, even the champion has his limits. I've modified my ride, and this time I'll definitely make sure you win without lifting a finger."

He reached out and patted his shoulder, offering words of comfort.

Lin Shuxuan, however, sensed something was off.

"You say there's a limit to how strong you are, so where does your confidence in surpassing your opponent come from?"

Becoming a former Battle.net champion is undoubtedly a highly selective process, and with Luo Jiuli's support, the opponent's equipment will only be better. Where does Li Rufeng get the confidence to defeat his opponent?

Upon hearing this, Li Rufeng narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Because of love."

That makes sense... Lin Shuxuan believed it to some extent. His roommate invested all the credits he earned from the competition into upgrading his equipment on Battle.net.

I don't buy supplements, I don't stock up on equipment, and I even eat the cheapest simple meals every day.

This dedication to investing everything in a game truly deserves to be called passion.

"But I feel like you're passionate about something else."

Lin Shuxuan picked up a yellowed book, which he had found under Li Rufeng's bed. It contained clichéd stories of the martial arts world from ancient times.

The protagonist, with long hair, roams the martial arts world with a sword, rescuing a damsel in distress.

This is a martial arts novel.

It's still a poorly written martial arts novel.

"Give it back to me!"

Li Rufeng snatched the book away, stroking the yellowed cover with a look of pity.

"Do you know how hard it is to find novels like this these days?"

Indeed, since the explosive growth of human technology and the encroachment on the ecosystem, such stories have been as ancient as prehistoric myths.

Lin Shuxuan had no intention of judging his roommate's hobbies; he simply remarked casually:

"I'll write you a book called 'Little Li Flying Dagger' later; I guarantee it'll be much better than these other books."

Li Rufeng was suspicious:

"This name sounds so sloppy, you must have made it up."

Hopefully, you'll still be this arrogant after you read the original text... Lin Shuxuan didn't dwell on this topic.

"The competition is about to begin. Call Qin Yuanba, let's go."

The rewards for the mecha competition are quite generous, and Li Rufeng clearly saw his predicament and that's why he brought him to participate.

Although he had the advantage of external assistance, his mecha could even unleash the Dragon Fist, but the other party was unaware of this, and this sentiment was truly precious.

He naturally had to try to repay in some way.

......

Esports arena.

The venue, which was already packed on weekdays, was even more crowded today.

Dozens of projectors intertwined in mid-air to create a giant screen, broadcasting the competition to the entire military academy.

There were also shuttles flying in mid-air; those were the Federation's broadcasting media.

"Does the Federation take this competition that seriously?"

Lin Shuxuan, backstage, asked that the makeup artist had just applied light makeup to his face, making his already handsome features even more refined.

But he was still a step behind Li Rufeng beside him.

"The Luo family is also creating hype, their daughter is also an opponent in this competition."

Li Rufeng already had feminine features, and with the makeup artist's touch, she became even more stunningly beautiful.

He rolled his eyes at the makeup artist and used makeup remover to wash away the excess makeup.

"Besides recruiting two champions into the team, I'm worried that the Luo family might have some other tricks up their sleeve."

"Probably not."

Lin Shuxuan felt alright. He was using a new account on Battle.net, so his opponent should have looked down on him.

In this situation, they probably wouldn't prepare too many measures.

But Li Rufeng shook his head.

"You underestimate the families of the Federation."

"With Luo Jiuli bearing the Luo family's name, the stock price rises by one cent for every win she makes."

"Whenever money is involved, the family will do everything in its power to win. We won one game before, but this one will only be more difficult."

Just as I was about to offer words of comfort, a huge shadow fell over us.

Qin Yuanba's tall and strong body blocked Huang Rong's light.

"It's time to go on stage."

We entered the venue following the lights and cheers.

On the stage, six semi-open virtual pods are closely arranged.

This is a specially made model that allows cameras to broadcast the contestants' facial expressions.

Across from him, Luo Jiuli, with her twin ponytails, rolled her eyes at him and then gave him the middle finger.

Lin Shuxuan's lips twitched slightly, deciding to teach this arrogant blonde brat a lesson with his Dragon Fist later.

Scan the AI ​​and log in to Battle.net.

This competition is a 1v1 format, where the winner will continue to be challenged by other players from the losing team.

The final winner takes the championship.

"Qin Yuanba goes first, I'm second, and Lin Shuxuan, you're the grand finale."

This was the previously agreed-upon order of battle. According to Li Rufeng's plan, Qin Yuanba would first defeat one opponent, then weaken the opponent's second opponent, and finally Li Rufeng would end the match.

In this way, Lin Shuxuan could win the competition championship without even having to participate in the competition or face external criticism.

Lin Shuxuan nodded. Li Rufeng had no idea that his control skills were unparalleled. How terrifying a mecha that could use fist techniques was was probably unknown to anyone in the entire Federation.

However, there's no need to say this; he'll take action himself if the game is lost.

As the countdown ended, amidst cheers from the crowd, the mechs on both sides entered the arena.

Qin Yuanba's mecha was still the same model as before, but it was exceptionally grotesque and deformed, with a 15-meter-long right arm hanging down, which served as both a weapon and a torso.

In contrast, the opposing mech had a smooth and natural shape, and all its equipment was obviously top-notch. However, unlike the mechs in the previous matches, it had undergone some deletions and minor adjustments.

The unnecessary equipment and props have been removed, making the overall look more fluid, like a strong and healthy martial artist.

At first glance, it exudes an imposing aura, like a deep pool or a towering mountain.

A major battle between the two was about to break out.

In the team channel, Li Rufeng analyzed the battle situation.

"Previously, Luo Jiuli's henchmen loaded a lot of unnecessary equipment onto the mecha in order to spend all the budget, which actually affected the overall performance."

"This time it's clearly different; the other party has a high level of understanding."

A soft yet sharp voice rang out:

"Good to know, the previous champions, how could they not be amazing?"

"Lin Shuxuan, it's not too late for you to apologize to me now. I'll make sure you lose easily later."

This guy paid for the organizing committee's PLUS service again. Does having money mean you can do whatever you want? Lin Shuxuan felt his privacy was being violated and was extremely unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it because he had the money.

They could only secretly plot with Li Rufeng.

"Can Qin Yuanba win?"

In the arena, the engine of his mech roared, and his thick right arm swept across, creating a formidable spectacle.

But the opponent was clearly prepared. The mecha was agile and managed to dodge Qin Yuanba's attacks every time. Although it looked dangerous, after several rounds of fighting, he was not injured at all.

"It's a bit difficult. They must have specifically studied Qin Yuanba's fighting style and know how to counter it."

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, huh?"

A proud girl's voice rang out in the channel.

"We hired the most professional engineering team to review Qin Yuanba's match video frame by frame. As soon as he lifted his butt, I knew what shape he was going to pull."

How vulgar... Lin Shuxuan really wanted to ask why the Luo family's daughter was of such low quality, but then he thought that she was a girl addicted to online gaming and he could let it go.

If they're all online, what good stuff could they possibly be?

But Li Rufeng suddenly roared:

"Now!"

Qin Yuanba's mecha underwent a sudden and dramatic change, splitting open from the middle. His spinning arms embedded themselves in the opponent's mecha, destroying it completely.

But they were also powerless to fight any longer.

draw.

"Looks like your tactics aren't all that great."

Li Rufeng's tone was light and sarcastic.

But the female voice on the channel remained calm:

"That's right, we didn't think of that trick, but it doesn't matter."

Li Rufeng's expression darkened; the Luo family definitely had a backup plan, otherwise this young lady wouldn't have reacted this way.

In sequence.

Li Rufeng piloted his mecha into the arena.

His mech underwent a comprehensive upgrade and also came with a white paint job.

Clearly, this is a skin with some kind of functional module included; it's expensive but can enhance combat power.

Qin Yuanba's mecha didn't receive any significant upgrades; perhaps all the credits he saved were invested in Li Rufeng's mecha.

The design of the mecha in Luo Jiuli's camp is not far from the previous one. Once everyone understands this to a certain extent, they will reach a consensus.

In the arena, the steel monsters have clashed multiple times.

Watching the exchange, Lin Shuxuan asked curiously:

"Which of those two champions is stronger?"

He was very curious about this question: if the opposing team had changed their lineup, would Qin Yuanba have been able to achieve the feat of defeating two opponents in a row?

"Are you wondering who's stronger, 'Mad Dog' or 'Water God'?"

Li Rufeng didn't have time to answer, but Luo Jiuli kindly offered an explanation.

"I advise you to give up on this idea. The two are at different peaks, and every time this topic is discussed on the forum, it gets flooded with comments."

"So true..." Lin Shuxuan exclaimed.

In the arena, Li Rufeng gradually gained the upper hand. His opponent's operation had reached a state of perfection, and his awareness and courage were top-notch. Several of his fierce attacks made Li Rufeng somewhat embarrassed.

But with his almost supernatural agility, Li Rufeng gradually gained the upper hand.

I think the second champion is stronger... Lin Shuxuan made his judgment.

At the cost of having his chest armor plate pierced, Li Rufeng won this victory. They only need to defeat one more person to win the mech competition championship.

20000 credits have been acquired.

"Alright, it's my turn to go on stage."

Despite losing the match point, his tone was filled with uncontrollable joy and elation.

On the opposite side of the field, Luo Jiuli's mecha slowly emerged.

It's different from the previous one.

Standing twenty meters tall, its entire body shimmered and shone like amethyst, with its hands hanging down and resting on its hips; the joints were connected naturally and smoothly, covered with black protection.

If it weren't for her terrifying height, she would really look like a human woman wearing armor.

At this moment, she is gently raising her arm, admiring herself as if she were admiring her manicure.

What the hell is this thing...? A bad premonition suddenly flashed through Lin Shuxuan's mind. The design of this mecha was exactly the same as that of the star-level mecha.

But this competition clearly restricted the types of mechs available, so how did Luo Jiuli manage to pilot one?

"Referee! I want to report them, they're cheating!"

Li Rufeng reacted even faster, immediately alerting the referee.

But a line of large, gold-plated characters appeared in mid-air and were projected onto various parts of the Federation.

[Luxex Heavy Industries' third-generation concept machine makes its grand debut!]

"Objection overruled. This competition only restricts the classification of star-level mechs. This mech is based on a planetary-level mech and meets the requirements."

Inside the driver's cab, Li Rufeng was fuming with rage.

But by this time, the onlookers' attention had already shifted away from the competition.

"A new mech model? And it's even cheaper? If it can be mass-produced, the Federation's military strength will increase significantly."

"I just don't know the cost, or when we can test drive it?"

"It's probably just a concept machine, probably just a model. It can only be recreated on Battle.net."

Nobody cares whether the competition is fair, or rather, being able to build this level of armor and integrate it into Battle.net means the championship should rightfully belong to them.

The Federation never despises the despicable, only the weak.

Inside the arena, the match began after Li Rufeng's protests proved ineffective.

The amethyst mech crouched down, assuming a perfect crouching starting position.

A series of sonic booms shattered eardrums.

It was only for a moment.

Li Rufeng's upgraded and modified mecha, which he had poured all his resources into, was pierced through the chest by the opponent, just like a little chicken.

His helpless voice followed.

"Lin Shuxuan, we've lost. Even if your mecha can use Dragon Fist, it's still no match for them."

Indeed... Lin Shuxuan sighed. The power of this mecha was unparalleled, and the absolute gap in its stats could not be bridged by any operation.

"Lin Shuxuan, come down. I'll really enjoy the next match."

Luo Jiuli's voice rang out.

She wasn't one to humiliate her opponents, so she hesitated a bit when the corporation gave her the task of demonstrating the new mech.

After all, this was an absolute one-sided massacre, and showcasing the mechs meant extending the match time as much as possible.

However, since Lin Shuxuan insulted him in the competition, as the saying goes, those who insult others will always be insulted in return.

She will drag out the game for a long time, making Lin Shuxuan suffer setbacks and humiliations!
