Machine Storm

"Ahem, this is a bit too complimentary to us. Can we handle it?" Huo Ying asked a little unconfidently. Even with such a flamboyant personality, he felt that there was too much pressure.

"Second brother, as long as he wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do." Makoto Kukai said, patting his chest. He couldn't wait. .

"Hey, Ant, you said this, I didn't!" Li Hao felt like he was the duck being chased away, "Brothers and sisters, this is a competition, there are many experts, the important thing is to participate. If it doesn’t work out the first time, there will be a next time. Don’t put so much pressure and shackles on yourself, just live your life.”

Everyone laughed, and it could be seen that Li Hao's mind was calm and he was not inflated by public opinion.

"As long as you enter the top 16 of this competition, you can get a bonus of 10 million, the top 8 will get 20 million, the top four will get 50 million, the runner-up will get 100 million, and the champion will get 500 million, which is quite impressive." Tan Ziyuan smiled, "It feels like 16 It will improve our lives even more if we are strong. Half of the bonus will be kept by the school, and the other half will belong to the team. Captain, come on..."

Everyone suddenly felt that something was not right in the atmosphere, and they all looked at Li Hao, who was silent.

"With so much money, can we share half of it?" Li Hao asked doubtfully, "Are you really giving it?"

Sheng Man couldn't help but smile, "Of course it's true. This bonus is not a piece of cake for EMP. The point is not the bonus, but the honor and future!"

Captain Li automatically ignored the honor and future, and the calculator in his mind was already turned on. If he took this money, he felt that his life would be improved in the next few years, and he would not have to borrow money from Tita all the time. He could still Please treat me to improve everyone's stereotype of him. He is a very generous person in his heart. Five hundred million... The team has 250 million. As the captain, I should be able to get a little more. Mr. Long is also a principal after all, no. As for cheating, wow...

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it. It was as bright as the sunshine outside. He originally participated in the S competition to work for the principal, but he forgot about his salary and the huge bonus. He was so particular.

"Okay, wipe your saliva and wake up!" Zhou Nai interrupted Li Hao's thoughts,

"Everyone, please don't be disturbed by the outside world. How they evaluate is their business, and how we do it is our business. Before we get the results, we should keep a low profile during the afternoon interviews. Especially you, Ma Long, don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Nai As soon as he said that, everything must be verified in the S game, and anything he said first was in vain.

"Sister Yi, it's not fair. I'm much better than the ant, but it's his words that scare people." Ma Long looked at Zhou Naiyi resentfully.

"He doesn't need to speak." Zhou Naiyi thought it would be better to stay calm. With Tianjing Jiwu's qualifications and status, he shouldn't say anything harsh. He was already in the vortex of public opinion.

Before the start of the S competition, people from each EMP war zone will send teams to make a short interview video for each major participating team. You can introduce yourself, or you can express your goals and wishes for this S competition, etc., to the participating teams. Space and stage for full expression.

In the afternoon, everyone put on clean school uniforms, put on their school badges, and neatly styled their hair. Tan Ziyuan, Sheng Man, Huo Ying, and Lu Lingxiao also appeared together as stewards. Of course, girls should dress up carefully, put on exquisite light makeup, and be meticulous. As soon as he raised his eyebrows, even the squad leader took care of him.

In the dormitory, the most arrogant person is of course Teacher Ma, who has a neat little head and is handsome. Standing together, he looks very good.

The reporter sent by the EMP Earth Region is the ace Huo Werna, who can also be regarded as an ace reporter and anchor. She took the initiative to choose Tianjing Jiwu. Compared with established teams such as North Carolina Rose and Knights of the Round Table, Tianjing Jiwu The Internet celebrity team is more topical, not to mention there is an interesting puppet captain.

Verna greeted everyone politely. The photographer prepared and observed everyone at the same time. Compared with other teams who are generally cool and strong, Tianjing Jiwu looks quite distinctive, a silly little fat man, and A thin team member with his head lowered all the time... She doubted whether his body could bear it.

"Everyone, we have a total of two steps. The first is the collective goal, which you can express by the captain. The second part is the individual interview. I hope everyone can talk more. This is an opportunity to show yourself to all mecha fans in the solar system." Verna smiled sweetly.

Li Hao nodded.

"Captain Li Hao, don't be nervous. I'll ask questions later. You can speak freely and be bold." Verna, who has done two S interviews, still has a sense of superiority, especially because she feels that the legendary puppet master is a bit shy. It seems There is no aura, "Please face the camera, um, this angle is good."

"Captain Li Hao, due to your excellent record in EMP some time ago, Tianjing Jiwu has attracted much attention in this S competition. May I ask, what is your goal? Which team is Tianjing Jiwu's biggest opponent?"

"Our team's goal is to enter the quarterfinals. Our opponents...are our biggest opponents in the knockout rounds." Li Hao said with a smile.

Verna motioned to Li Hao to say more, but Li Hao had already stopped. But it didn't matter. The focus was on the personal interview that followed, which could be edited. She had a way to get the other party to say more.

"Classmate Xiaotang, don't shake your legs, straighten your waist, yes, that's it, look at me, that's good!" Wei Erna adjusted Zuo Xiaotang's condition and showed off her charm.

It was a bit difficult. Verna could only try her best to find topics and let the other party talk more so that she could find something useful later.

"Classmate Ma Long, um, that's too deliberate. We need to take a picture of the front face, not the side face." Verna also couldn't laugh or cry. She was either too nervous or had a camera bug.

"Kukai-san Makoto, how about you say something casually?"

"Musashi-kun, as a heir to the Wu family, what is your goal..."

It took the others an hour, and Verna also took a rest. Finally, it was the turn of the key puppet, which was also the key to her choice of Tianjing Jiwu. After all, it was professional. After a touch of makeup, she instantly became radiant and energetic. .

"Captain Li Hao is about to participate in the largest mecha competition in the solar system. How do you feel?" Verna crossed her legs and struck the most attractive pose against the backdrop of her short skirt. She deliberately pressed it with her hands. Stay in key areas.

"I'm a little excited, but also a little nervous. This is my first S competition." Li Hao said.

Looking at Li Hao in front of her, Verna felt a little regretful. He was completely different from the cold and tyrannical boss he had expected. His opponents would look down on him if he had any hint of the domineering power of a strong man.

"Captain Li Hao, do you prefer others to call you Li Hao, or the master of puppets?" Verna crossed her legs in a different posture, looming.

"Li Hao, that's just an ID. Regular training is nothing."

"You are so humble. USE fans are very concerned about you, but everyone is worried that Tianjing Jiwu's lineup will not be able to achieve good results. What do you think?" Verna stared at Li Hao with burning eyes, trying to use her own The charm of the other party stimulates the male hormones of the other party. So far, he is a bit too timid.

"Ah, no, everyone is very tolerant of me. I know that I still have many shortcomings. I will go all out during the competition and will not drag the team back." Li Hao said seriously.

Verna's expression was slightly awkward, but she quickly adjusted it.

"Your fan Kuangwu Master ranks you and Tianjing Jiwu first. Do you think this ranking is appropriate?"

"Oh, it's whatever he thinks is appropriate. Everyone has the right to express their own ideas."

"If Tianjing Jiwu meets the Langwu team, are you confident in defeating the lone wolf Romero again? Now Mars fans think that the training match is very watery, and Romero has not shown his true level at all." Verna To bring up hot topics, this is also the purpose.

"Let's talk about it when we meet." Li Hao waved his hand helplessly.

"Ahem, Captain Li Hao, we are interviewing, I mean what if!" Verna locked her sexy eyes on Li Hao, seeming to imply that the other party should be bolder, manlier, and tougher!

"Yes, you said what if. Aren't interviews supposed to be realistic? Who knows what if?" Li Hao said innocently.

If it weren't for the video, Verna would have rolled her eyes, racking her brains and trying all kinds of things to find topics, but Li Hao couldn't get into the topic, and Zhou Naiyi ended the interview on the grounds of training. Teacher Ma said it was okay. I tried to take another photo, but was ruthlessly rejected by Verna. Who would want to see such a pretty face?

The much-anticipated interview with Tianjing Jiwu did not reveal any hot topics in the end. Overall, the Tianjing team is still quite low-key and simple. The puppets are not as bloated as those Internet celebrities who suddenly become famous. Instead, they are able to recognize themselves very clearly. The location also makes Tianjing Jiwu's evaluation a little better.

A well-known ROM commentator even commented: Puppet is very self-aware.

A few days later, the videos of the major participating teams began to be released on EMP.

This routine was originally peaceful. Tianjing Jiwu's interview also explained the situation side by side. When funny incidents were also recognized as a way for new anchors to become famous, a team video turned things upside down again, and even got out of hand.

USE - Team Udyr.

This is a relatively low-ranking team from USE. Basically, its goal is to enter the main draw. However, this team is quite wealthy. Their captain, Udyr, is a true desert prince. He is extremely wealthy.

"The goal of our team this time is to witness a miracle, Brother Li, I am your fan!"

"Puppet God, we are all your fans, win the championship!"

"Tianjing Jiwu will win!"

"They are all opponents, but there is no opponent. The puppet god is invincible!"

"I know that Brother Li didn't take the previous battle seriously, so I'm extremely looking forward to the serious series!"

"Brother Li, let them see the ceiling of machine combat on Earth!"

A group of team members roared lively, making the USE war zone reporter confused. Of course she also knew the funny ranking of Crazy Martial Arts Master. Is this to relax before the game?

"Udyr's team is very relaxed. It seems that they are ready for the S game."

The reporter could only sum it up this way.

Of course, with Udyr's overall combat power, no one has much hope of impacting the results. The focus is on participation.

The video of Team Udyr was posted to the comment section of Crazy Martial Arts Master. Puppet fans suddenly got excited. In fact, quite a few of them also felt that Crazy Martial Arts Master was making fun of themselves. In essence, they were supporting themselves just like Huo Man. War zone, and Tianjing Jiwu's pre-war video has also been released, which is quite reasonable, but I didn't expect that some participating teams would cooperate with the performance and even show special understanding.

But after all, it's just Udyr's team, ranking at the bottom is not a big deal.

But as videos of other teams were released, things changed.

USE——Puma Team

Robbie's failure to be selected as the Twelve Extraordinary still caused huge dissatisfaction among the Cougars. After all, one of the six dragons, the representative of the earth, the official selection was blind, but Robbie himself was very calm.

"Nothing is disappointing. Everything will be told in the S game."

"Yes, after all, Li Hao can rank first." The reporter smiled. She could feel the huge changes in Robbie. The previous bad temper and eagerness to try were replaced by the light of confidence.

"That's different. The second brother deserves it. He has always been our idol!"

? ? ?

USE - Knights of the Round Table.

"Captain Ao Fei, do you think it is possible for us to win the S competition this time?" The reporter looked at Ao Fei with admiration. She is so beautiful, and her temperament is even better.

"Yes." Ao Fei was very firm, "We are stronger than ever!"

The reporter also had a smile on his face, "The only way to stop NUP from winning three consecutive hegemonies is the Knights of the Round Table and North Carolina. This year it's a three-nation competition."

Ao Fei suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, "We are the most popular this year."

? ? ?

USE - North Carolina Rose

…………

After a round of interviews, the reporter has already felt the terrifying pressure of North Carolina Rose. From Asaochoryu to Supernova Nighteye, everyone is a top player. The momentum is unprecedentedly high. Unity, pressure is motivation. North Carolina has reached the point where it must win the championship. It’s a critical intersection. If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

"Your Excellency Asashoryu, do you think the biggest opponent this time is Galaxy led by Maxis? You are also an old rival?"

"Tianjing Jiwu and Hailong, Galaxy can be ranked third." Chao Qinglong said in a deep voice.

"Ah?" The reporter was a little confused, then smiled, "You have also heard about that. That episode really added a lot of fun to the S game."

Chao Qinglong looked at the reporter strangely, "Tianjing Jiwu has the strongest player in this S competition. Hailong is currently the strongest overall team with no weaknesses. These two teams are T0 level, and the others are more or less the same." have some problem."

"Ah? How is this possible?" The reporter was dumbfounded. Is this a false tactic?

"Everyone who understands understands." Chao Qinglong said calmly, without explaining. Although North Carolina could not make the top three in the S competition, there are many variables in the S competition and everyone has a chance.

As soon as the interview between Asashoryu and Ao Fei was broadcast, it instantly bombarded the entire USE theater and quickly spread to other theaters. Did USE discuss it together and come up with something?

Want a strategy that confuses everyone's vision?
