Machine Storm

Zuo Xiaotang also has a happy-go-lucky temperament. Atlantis also has a rich home-style section, and all kinds of cosplays are beautiful. Zuo Xiaotang has to give a big thumbs up to Zuo Xiaotang’s professional vision, and then start Crazy photo mode.

"Boss, I want ten of these fat starfish and twenty of that seahorse pendant. Can I get a discount?" Zuo Xiaotang already had a bunch in the basket in his hand.

"Okay, I'll give you 10% off."

"Thank you, boss." Zuo Xiaotang happily paid the bill. Brother Hao was more generous and wanted to pick out some favorites for the children.

He also bought a few costumes of the Mermaid Princess and the Whale Prince, packed them together and took them back, leaving a mailing address. Zuo Xiaotang continued to patrol and found the famous "darkroom".

This is an interstellar chain store that specializes in horror-themed cosplay and dolls. The one in Tianjing is relatively small, but the one in front of me is amazing. It’s like a grandpa’s store. I jumped in right away.

The horror scenes of various styles made Zuo Xiaotang tremble with fear, but it was so satisfying. He also experienced it scene by scene. When it came to the "Moon Doomsday" scene, many people experienced it. It was an alien race invading the moon. , all kinds of parasitic monsters were running rampant, one of the girls was shouting, and Zuo Xiaotang suddenly found that the voice and figure looked familiar.

No way?

Zuo Xiaotang subconsciously walked over. He felt the other person's gaze almost instantly. When he looked back, their eyes collided.

…

"Miss Anrita?"

At this time, the face of the girl wearing doomsday makeup suddenly darkened, "You have the wrong person." After saying that, she turned around and left. Zuo Xiaotang hurriedly followed.

Coming out of the doomsday scene, this figure was undoubtedly that of Anrita. Zuo Xiaotang, apart from anything else, looked absolutely good in her eyes.

Amrita gritted her teeth. This was her secret and her way of relieving stress. How could Amrita, the majestic Apocalypse Demon Butterfly, decisive and ruthless in killing, like such a childish game?

I usually avoid people, especially after entering Hailong. I haven't been here for a long time. But this time, Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang teamed up to break the defense. They suffered losses from beginning to end, and the boss asked for revenge. I could only feel depressed. Come here to sort it out.

"Miss Anrita?" Zuo Xiaotang said with certainty.

Anrita really wanted to slap this fat man to death, and pointed out with low emotional intelligence, "I am not a young lady, nor a young lady!"

"An Rita is studying...sister?" Zuo Xiaotang said bravely. Teacher Ma's accumulated teachings finally worked.

Anrita frowned, "You are really not afraid of death. Didn't Li Hao tell you to stay away from me?"

"Ah, I told you. He said you would beat me up. I'm not sure what happened, but if you'd be happy if you beat me up, that's fine. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned and I get hurt every time. Everything is done quickly." Zuo Xiaotang laughed.

But this smile stung Anrita. She had been like this before.

"Forget it, stay away from me, I'll get annoyed when I see you!" Anrita said coldly.

Zuo Xiaotang looked sad, nodded and was about to leave. An Rita suddenly didn't know which muscle was wrong, "Wait a minute, I changed my mind, I just want to ask you something."

Zuo Xiaotang immediately ran over, "What's the matter?"

"Has Li Hao mentioned us to you before?"

"No, we didn't know he went to Tianqi Youth Class before. You are all very good people." Zuo Xiaotang said enviously.

An Rita was very confused, why didn't Li Hao tell the people around him clearly, what was he hiding, or did he really not care about them?

"What's the purpose of your coming here this time?"

"Is there a purpose? Yes, it's to train and prepare for the S competition. You also know that we in Tianjing are at the bottom. Except for Brother Hao, oh, and Makoto Kukai, everyone else is very reluctant. This visit is also an eye-opener."

An Rita looked at the sincere Zuo Xiaotang. She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She had no room to express herself. Does this person know that Tianjing is now the goal of all teams? What kind of mentality does this person have.

"You don't need to belittle yourself, your marksmanship is very good." Anrita said lightly, Davari was not interested in everyone.

Perhaps because he sensed An Rita's appreciation, Zuo Xiaotang was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Anrita frowned, "Are you so happy?"

Zuo Xiaotang nodded, "You are the first opponent who thinks I am still useful."

"I can't even tell your level, those people are idiots, huh." Anrita felt that she wouldn't be able to get any useful information from Zuo Xiaotang. Mr. Li will not leave any loopholes, " You are useless too. Next time you meet someone who looks down on you, kill them. A man should behave like a man."

Zuo Xiaotang scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, let's just cancel the matter and go our separate ways. Also, no one is allowed to tell anyone what happened today, otherwise I will make you look good!" Anrita threatened with a straight face.

Zuo Xiaotang nodded quickly, "I'm the most stern person, well, even Brother Hao won't say anything."

An Rita nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave. She was too lazy to stumble against such a non-threatening guy. Staying with Li Hao might be a trap.

Zuo Xiaotang looked at An Rita's retreating figure, with a knowing smile on his fleshy face. It seemed that An Rita was no longer angry...

The exchange competition continues, and EMP officially released important news. The S11 mecha type has finally been determined. The extraordinary mecha has failed the safety test. The S11 will still use the traditional mecha library. At the same time, the conventional titanium shield and titanium knife will be updated to the K23 titanium shield. and titanium knives.

It seems to be just a small change, but in fact, professionals predict that huge changes have taken place in this S game. Human genes have been evolving for some time. This time there will be a qualitative leap. In the new decade, human beings will A new beginning in the mecha era.

As for the extraordinary mecha, it cooled down rapidly during this period. The system that has not been effectively tested, the high cost, and the compatibility issues between nuclear fission energy and the Melafis system have also been exposed. Many experts pointed out that this kind of The system is too sloppy. There are indeed some things worthy of praise, but there are many hidden dangers. It does not mean that a powerful, good-looking, and handsome mecha is a new era. There are many details in it, such as durability, practicality, and specific aspects of offense and defense. Test data, this is not something that a private military industry company can decide arbitrarily. This is irresponsible for the entire human defense system.

Just as Cillian expected, he put aside the problem itself and directly rose to the level of "human beings", directly rejecting the Melafis System.

Cillian had a good idea. He first built momentum for himself and attracted global attention, and then suddenly launched public opinion to build momentum, trying to catch the traditional forces off guard. However, he failed in the end. This is absolutely not allowed by the traditional forces, even if One day in the future, extraordinary systems and new mechas will become part of the system, or even the mainstream, and this needs to be decided together.

In the eyes of the ruling class of Earth and Mars, Cillian's eagerness for success is a bit naive, and it also made the veterans in the Federation see flaws. During this period of game, the interior of the moon There are also certain objections. They do not want the Melafis family to be the dominant one, and the military from Mars and the Earth Federation are frantically studying the Melafis system through various means.

During this period of negotiation and wrangling, both Earth and Mars have obtained some of the key information they want, and have frantically begun to develop their own systems. It is impossible to hand over this lifeline to others. As long as they are given a certain amount of time, The Meraphes system will no longer be unique, and it is fanciful for a consortium to monopolize such advanced technology.

Of course, Cillian is not without counterattack. Several media controlled by the consortium are also frantically reporting on the despicable behavior of Earth and Mars-related military-industrial companies in negotiations, violating the spirit of the contract, stealing technical secrets, and even sending spies and other shady means.

Of course, all the negotiating parties denied these one by one, and the so-called captured witnesses also died of accidental illness.

In a game at this level, the process is not important. The result is already doomed. Melafis, the young leader, has been strategizing for two years to prepare for a blockbuster plan and it went bankrupt.

In fact, since Cillian has been in charge of various affairs of the Melafis Consortium, he has always done a very good job in shaping the image, manipulating public opinion, money offensive, etc., but in this matter, he lacks the background and influence. The situation is still exposed. If old Melafis was here, this thing might actually be possible, but Cillian is not at that level after all.

Even within the family, they believe that Cillian has acted too hastily and the done thing is done. They still hope that Cillian can shine in the S game. Once he wins the championship, his influence will be further expanded and it will definitely be of great help to subsequent negotiations. .

Others winning the championship is just a championship. The influence that Cillian can bring by winning more championships cannot be underestimated. In particular, it is crucial to strengthen the family's voice within the moon.

The undercurrent of the international situation does not have much impact on the exchange competition. For the top masters who have awakened the golden zone, they can accept it in any form. Excluding external factors, in fact, they are quite eager for extraordinary mechas. After all, this can To maximize their strength and suppress those with lower zone values, but to be too hasty and dominate the moon is something other federation players don't want to see, and they will suffer a lot.

The current situation is fair. The mature golden zone allows pilots to fully utilize the performance of the mecha.

For Romero and others, they are happy to see this result. After coming here to experience the extraordinary mecha, the performance is very, very high, but the double consumption of pilots is astonishing. After all, combat is a continuous process. Behavior, three minutes of Superman doesn't do much good.

At the same time, it hits Cillian's confidence and limits the bottom line of Li Hao's ability that cannot be explored. At least in this S competition, Li Hao cannot do whatever he wants.
