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

Inside the venue.

The lights came back on.

The commotion stopped abruptly, and everyone turned to look at the screen in the center.

The expected match footage did not appear; instead, rows of large, gold-plated characters were displayed.

Lin Shuxuan wins!

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"What happened? How did it end so quickly? And he won?"

"The Luo family's mechs have such overwhelming stats, how could they possibly lose? Just how incredible is Lin Shuxuan's skill?"

"Could there be some shady dealings involved?"

As soon as the man uttered those words, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

The Luo family is the largest shareholder of the Battle.net platform, and this competition is the debut of the new mechs. How could Lin Shuxuan have the ability to cheat in this competition?

Perhaps Luo Jiuli was beaten too badly and was worried about affecting the reputation of the new mecha, so she used the power outage as an excuse to cut off the live stream.

This guess flashed through everyone's minds.

Seeing Luo Jiuli get up from the virtual pod, she ran away crying, tears streaming down her face.

This made the crowd believe the guess even more.

It's unimaginable how dazzling and explosive Lin Shuxuan's skills were. Not only did he defeat the new type of mecha, but he also made Luo Jiuli, a top player on the Battle.net, cry.

"It's a pity, the Luo family definitely won't release the video."

After all, it would be a real disgrace to have one's painstakingly developed new mecha so badly defeated.

Just how strong is Lin Shuxuan's competitive level?

This secret may remain buried for a long time.

The rules for future Battle.net matches will be updated, and similar battles may have to wait until one of the companies develops a fourth-generation mech.

......

Battle.net Central Control Room.

The alarm was lifted, and the shimmering blue light seemed somewhat weary.

"Teacher, we used administrator privileges to simulate a space-powered orbital attack and have already eliminated the Dragon Head Mech."

"The core computer has 40% of its computing power remaining, and it is expected to be restored in three months."

"But fluctuations of this magnitude could cause brain death in the contestants."

The old man waved his hand, his eyes gleaming.

"Prepare the compensation."

"Not a single word of what happened today is to be revealed!"

"Yes, teacher!"

......

As the match ended, Li Rufeng exited the virtual pod.

Although he learned that his team had won the championship, he couldn't show any joy.

He had fought against Luo Jiuli's mecha before, so he knew exactly how vast the gap was between their stats.

No amount of action can make up for it.

Moreover, Lin Shuxuan was just a beginner, and his mecha had only undergone simple modifications. Even in the Silver rank, he would be completely outmatched by his equipment.

Moreover, it was the prototype of the Rockwell Heavy Industries machine.

But from the moment he started, he lost contact with Lin Shuxuan. Occasionally, a hoarse roar, ferocious and eerie, could be heard from the channel.

He quickly stepped forward and opened the virtual pod where he was located.

The Battle.net connection had been lost, but Lin Shuxuan's eyes remained closed.

Are you asleep?

Li Rufeng reached out to check his breath, but there was no breathing.

Then there's the heartbeat and the pulse.

It was completely empty.

So he's dead... Li Rufeng's expression changed drastically. He never expected Lin Shuxuan to fight to such an extent.

To defeat Luo Jiuli, he must have burned himself out, turning all his life and will into fuel to overcome the enormous numerical gap and defeat his opponent...

He directed Qin Yuanba to bow his head and observe a moment of silence.

We pay our deepest respects to our fallen comrades.

Then Lin Shuxuan's voice became hoarse, and he made a hoarse coughing sound.

Lin Shuxuan did indeed die briefly.

The human brain is extremely susceptible to deception; one may experience phantom pain in a dream and feel it in reality.

When Lin Shuxuan first arrived at Tianbang Star, he praised the magnificence of the Tianji Power Orbit and wondered if he could withstand a blow from such a creation.

I never imagined that this day would come so quickly.

In the battle network, the divine punishment, like the Sword of Damocles, shattered the body of the Dragon Head Mech inch by inch.

That was an attack with overwhelming power; perhaps even a single wisp of it would have killed him.

But the Dragon Head Mech was exceptionally tough; it allowed Lin Shuxuan to be repeatedly baptized by attacks that could have killed him a thousand times over.

His will and the mecha were one, and he was truly subjected to a thousand cuts and tortures, unable to die even if he wanted to.

Only as the Dragon Head Mech's will weakened was he able to use the cheat he had built into Battle.net to control his virtual will to break free and then log out of the game.

It floated above his body like a ghost, watching Li Rufeng mourn silently.

Since the Federation's powerful figures do not cultivate their spiritual essence, no one can detect this state.

Lin Shuxuan even had an instinct to wrap his body and move around, just like the guys from the Star Orbit Society.

So, the reason I can perfectly control the mech in Battle.net is because Star Orbit... Lin Shuxuan suddenly realized.

He had always thought that his special status on the virtual platform stemmed from his father's smart bracelet, but now it seemed that the bracelet was just a gateway to a terrifying monster.

Virtual reality platform and soul are indeed two closely related terms.

But due to preconceived notions, he hadn't initially thought of it.

It slowly descended and merged with the still-warm corpse, coughing twice to signal Li Rufeng to stop his unlucky behavior.

His voice was hoarse, probably from being hurt by the roar of the dragon-headed monster.

"Now that we've won, let's go."

A glance at the big screen revealed that the Battle.net platform had made a fair judgment: Luo Jiuli was eliminated before him, and he was naturally the winner.

Although I really wanted to see the golden rain, I decided to digest the findings and information first.

He declined numerous requests from fans for autographs.

Lin Shuxuan and his two companions returned to their dormitory.

How should Champion Credits be allocated?

He did not forget his original intention for participating in the competition. It was not for fame or the championship, but for the large number of credits he would gain after winning.

A total of over 20000 points.

In a regular competition, it would take who knows how long to save up that money.

Credits are related to materials for the journey, items and equipment, and even the villas you can rent in the future.

"Qin Yuanba and I didn't contribute much in the finals. If it weren't for you, we would have only gotten second place."

"Take 15000 credits."

Li Rufeng's humility made Lin Shuxuan feel somewhat embarrassed.

Logically, the money should have been split equally among the three of them, with each person receiving around six or seven thousand. However, Li Rufeng directly doubled the amount for him.

Credits can be exchanged for merit points and cash, and no one will complain about having too little.

Li Rufeng doesn't seem to have a strong background, so this is also a large sum of money for him.

A proposal to redistribute resources is put forward.

But his roommate disagreed, saying that without Lin Shuxuan, they would never have won the championship, and without the championship prize money, how could they possibly share it?

Lin Shuxuan's credits were ultimately set at 14000.

"Didn't they say the champion would receive a mystery grand prize?"

Li Rufeng nodded and guessed:

"I heard they're inviting champion players to test drive the mechs themselves, so it's definitely not about the money."

Upon hearing that it wouldn't enhance his strength, Lin Shuxuan lost interest in the grand prize.

"The Federation offers special treatment to mech pilots. Winning the league championship will give you a lot of points in the interview."

Perhaps worried that Lin Shuxuan might not understand the benefits of winning the championship, Li Rufeng spoke up to add.

"If you go to the front lines for an internship, you'll find that there's a huge gap in status between ordinary soldiers and mech pilots."

"While soldiers could only eat bread and drink dirty water, the damn driver could enjoy steak and sake."

"Even the room we were staying in was a fucking double room."

Are you really telling me how great the driver is? I get the feeling you just want to scold him... Lin Shuxuan didn't respond.

The four-person dormitory was cramped and crowded, so he needed to find a place to be alone for a while to sort out the intelligence.

I got up, went into the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it.

Turn on the tap, and the icy cold water splashes onto your face.

His performance in the finals, and that dragon-headed mecha, could not possibly escape the notice of the Luo family.

The final kinetic energy track appearing in the sky was likely created by the staff.

So how will the Luo family react?

Lin Shuxuan was unsure of himself.

But seeing that he has safely returned to his dormitory, and even the result of the competition has determined that he is the winner, his current attitude can at least be considered neutral.

After all, he only possessed the data of that mech within the Battle.net network, which could perhaps only be considered a bug.

Secondly, there's the scene where the future is all in sight.

It turns out that the killing of Luo Jiuli happened within the Battle.net.

This is a good thing; the other party is still alive and kicking, so Lin Shuxuan won't be branded a murderer.

When Luo Jiuli was thought of, her body naturally came to mind.

When he merges with the Dragon Head Mech, he has extremely high privileges, and can see everything, from the battle scene to the clothing.

A surge of blood rushed through Lin Shuxuan's chest, and he scooped up a handful of cold water.

It's all Yu Xin's fault. If she hadn't been so indecisive, her resistance wouldn't be so low now.

The third is the smart bracelet.

He thought this mecha was a golden finger left by his father, but he never expected it to be so dangerous and uncontrollable.

This mecha gives the impression of being like Unit-01 from EVA, with its surface armor and weaponry designed to restrain the ferocious dragon beast beneath.

Several fragmented images remain in my mind.

The dragon's muscles twisted and swelled terrifyingly, as if it wanted to burst all its surface weaponry in order to break free from its cage.

Could the dragon-headed mecha have been made from a living, strange beast?

When it comes to incredibly powerful life forms, Lin Shuxuan can only think of exotic beasts.

To a certain extent, it can withstand attacks from space-based kinetic orbits. Just how strong must its main body be?

What exactly is that mech? Its appearance on Battle.net suggests the Luo family's higher-ups might know something...

Finally, there's the Star Orbit meeting.

Lin Shuxuan became increasingly certain that he had an intricate connection with this organization.

He can indeed manipulate the power of the Star Orbit Society.

It is precisely because of this that he can bypass cumbersome operations and directly control the mech on the Battle.net platform.

To find out the reason behind this, we probably have to go back to Xinhai City.

No, Tianbangxing works too.

Lin Shuxuan suddenly thought of the place located below the military academy, which was like an abyss or a hellish place.

There are traces of the Star Orbit Society there, so perhaps we can make a preliminary move and gather information indirectly.

Compared to the new Hai City, which he had been planning for many years, he could have more initiative on Tianbang Star.

But let's accommodate the path first... Lin Shuxuan thought silently; the Star Orbit Society's abilities are unpredictable, and their methods on the soul side are indeed hard to guard against.

We can explore the areas ahead later.

Bang bang bang!

Li Rufeng knocked on the toilet door.

"Lin Shuxuan, I'm warning you, don't do that kind of thing in our dorm! I'm a germaphobe, you know that?!"

Lin Shuxuan kicked the door in Li Rufeng's face.

......

A rare, leisurely weekend.

Lin Shuxuan took his two younger sisters from Xinhai City out for a stroll.

Several days have passed since the Battle.net finals, and the Luo family has made no move. Lin Shuxuan is very certain of this, and Future Vision has not revealed any details.

With this Hextech syndicate around, he doesn't need to worry about being assassinated from the shadows.

That's why he had the leisure to take his two younger sisters shopping and nurture their relationship.

Yu Xinyuan is in Xinhai, and as the saying goes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Establishing a solid friendship with Hai Lanlan and Ye Lingyue is the right path.

Lin Shuxuan, Lin Shuxuan, how could you be so depraved... The pressure from the Star Orbit Society is in the shadows, and the power of the Third Young Master of the Tang family is in the open, yet you still have the mood to stroll around!

Lin Shuxuan silently despised himself, then found another reason.

It's all Luo Jiuli's fault!

Battle.net doesn't even blur the character models! How can a young man full of vigor stand that?!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

Hai Lanlan suddenly crowed like a rooster, her chubby little finger pointing at the car floating on the side of the road.

"What a spineless coward!"

Lin Shuxuan gave her a disdainful look, then explained:

"This is Tianbangxing's maglev transportation system. These vehicles levitate and move according to a planned route, with extremely high acceleration."

He looked up at the sky, proud of his extensive knowledge, and then crowed like a rooster.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

On the horizon, rows of shuttles, like the Milky Way, hang upside down above the sky, their engines leaving beautiful trails.

Ye Lingyue's calm voice rang out:

"By using planetary gravity and guided by kinetic orbits, this propulsion method can greatly reduce fuel consumption."

She tightened her sunglasses. Hai Lanlan and Lin Shuxuan were so loud and boisterous, they would shout and yell at the slightest thing that was new or interesting, which really attracted attention.

Before long, the three arrived at their destination.

This is a buffet restaurant specializing in local Xinhai cuisine.

Lin Shuxuan sat down in the restaurant. The prices here are not expensive, only 400 yuan per person. It is said that there is also special sashimi from the Xinhai Ecological Zone - Port Zero.

Limited quantities are available per person, much like the mongoose shrimp in Japanese cuisine of a bygone era, holding a transcendent status.

Based on his previous life's experience of eating at buffets, Lin Shuxuan started with the most expensive limited-edition items.

This sashimi comes from deep-sea iced fish, and its entire body is as translucent as jelly.

It is said to taste excellent and is a rare and precious ingredient in the New Sea high society.

Lin Shuxuan, full of anticipation, sliced ​​off a piece of the entrance.

It had an indescribable fishy and bitter smell.

"Who the hell put this in my mouth...?" Lin Shuxuan stood up, about to lash out, but found Hai Lanlan eating happily, while Ye Lingyue remained calm.

Could it be that I'm just not good at recognizing its value?

Holding onto this conjecture, he hesitated to cut another slice and put it in his mouth.

Lin Shuxuan picked up a piece of salmon and sprinkled lemon on it.

He has eaten this in both his past and present lives, so he knows it quite well.

Salmon farming conditions are not demanding, so even with today's ecological threats, this food has been preserved.

The texture is smooth and creamy, like rotten meat that has been soaking in the sea for three days and three nights.

Lin Shuxuan stood up in a rage and reprimanded the two:

"You two little idiots, can't you tell that all the food in this restaurant is spoiled?"

Using his identity as a federal military academy student, he reasoned with the arriving manager, who very tactfully agreed to pay three times the meal fee.

"I really shouldn't have been greedy for small gains..." Lin Shuxuan sighed.

The military academy is located in Tianbang City, where land is extremely valuable.

Prices are even higher than those in the inner ring of Xinhai, suggesting that this restaurant is ripping off tourists from out of town, and the food quality is extremely poor.

After walking through a wide street lined with luxury maglev cars, we arrived at the entrance of a magnificent hall.

"This place looks very expensive."

Lin Shuxuan sighed.

Just then, a discordant voice rang out from behind.
