Silicon Invasion

"Luo Rui, the intra-school competition is tomorrow."

Amidst the accidental chaos, as one of the main figures involved, Luo Rui's roommates also received messages from interested parties, requesting them to reveal information according to their narratives.

However, regardless of the reasons, the three roommates, including Zhou Tiantian, stood on Luo Rui's side. Even with the online frenzy, they did not do anything detrimental to Luo Rui.

Therefore, although Luo Rui doesn't hang out with them as much anymore, their relationship remains quite good.

The intra-school team competition at Beishan Academy, while not well-known on the external internet, is only briefly mentioned in news reports. This is the case not only for Beishan Academy but also for other mech pilot academies. Therefore, ordinary people outside have only heard of this so-called intra-school competition.

Luo Rui and his three roommates belong to this category of ordinary people and knew very little about the competition before entering the school. However, this competition is considered a major event within the school.

Therefore, as the competition approached, coupled with the recent changes in the rules, the teachers began to popularize some of the rules and significance of the competition to everyone a few days ago.

Although Luo Rui had already learned about these things through Tong Yue and others, he still listened attentively. The three roommates, hearing this for the first time, were even more focused.

Due to some rule changes, the competition no longer restricts the grade level of participating players, resulting in many sophomores forming teams to participate, and even many freshmen signing up.

This includes the three roommates. Although they are addicted to games, their studies have not fallen behind much, and their professional courses are among the best in the class.

"It's a pity that Lao Yao has already joined another team, otherwise, our chances of advancing would be quite high."

Zhou Tiantian was somewhat annoyed. In fact, this was not the first time he had complained. Three days ago, when they learned that Luo Rui had become a substitute member of a senior team, they were all a little surprised.

Firstly, they didn't expect Luo Rui to quietly advance ahead of them from a special recruit who enrolled more than a month later than them. While they still didn't know what the intra-school team competition was, Luo Rui had already started practicing with others.

It would be fake to say they weren't envious, jealous, and resentful, but who told them their level wasn't up to Luo Rui's? They could only be envious, jealous, and resentful.

Secondly, they originally thought Luo Rui could join them. Luo Rui was equivalent to a senior honor student, and the chances of him leading them through the first round were high. When everyone else in the grade was eliminated in the first round, they would have gone through two rounds, or even made it to the third round. This kind of glory would be excellent material for bragging.

Moreover, they already knew the use of these honors. Everyone is a freshman and still young, so they all have to fight for the position of a fourth-generation mech pilot.

Too bad…

"Stop nagging. With our level, we're not bad either. Besides, this isn't a battle against people, it's just fighting silicon-based beasts. If our ultimate move works, maybe we can get into the second round."

What's done is done. It's useless to say more. It's impossible for Luo Rui to quit his team and join them. Besides, even if he quit, the procedures wouldn't be completed before the competition.

So Zhang Jiasheng stopped Zhou Tiantian's nagging and encouraged morale.

Luo Rui was curious about what their so-called "ultimate move" was, but they refused to reveal it to Luo Rui on the grounds of keeping team information confidential from outsiders, which was also a small revenge.

Although he was a little curious, Luo Rui tactfully didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, the competition was about to start, so wouldn't he find out when he went to watch?

"Remember to come and watch tomorrow."

"Yes, come and admire our heroic姿态."

Luo Rui scratched his head, feeling that something about these words seemed wrong.

"Is this their ultimate move?"

Luo Rui's mouth twitched. The three roommates had found two classmates from the same class and formed a team called Five-in-a-Row, which had never won. He didn't know how the name passed the review. Was it so perfunctory?

In comparison, Zhang Zhi's Shining Knights looked much more normal.

Because of the active participation of freshmen and sophomores, the number of participating teams was very large. Therefore, the school's computer rooms were no longer open these days and were all used for preliminary rounds, striving to finish the competition as soon as possible.

In fact, compared to PVP battles between people, PVE defending against monster attacks is much easier in terms of event scheduling. The preliminary rounds only require passing the level, and there will be speed races and challenge matches later.

The speed race is easy to understand: the team with the shortest time under the same difficulty and conditions wins.

As for the challenge match, it is to challenge higher difficulty dungeons. This does not require time. If you pass the level, there will be system scoring and judge scoring. After comprehensive comparison, the winning team is selected.

Of course, if a team can challenge a difficulty that no one can pass, such as expert level, then they will naturally win the championship.

In comparison, the gold content of the challenge champion is higher than that of the speed race, but for ordinary students, there is no need to be picky. Passing the preliminary round is the biggest victory.

For the three roommates who participated for the first time, they belong to this category.

However, when Luo Rui saw the "ultimate move" that they had been mystifying for several days, Luo Rui couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Five archer mechs?

No melee tanks, no support mechs, just five pure long-range fire mechs. The thinking of these talents in his dormitory is quite something.

However, after careful consideration, Luo Rui found that their choice was not unreasonable, because the preliminary round is the lowest difficulty, and there is no overly complex terrain, which means that the advantages of long-range fire can be fully utilized. At the same time, the number of silicon-based beasts cannot be too outrageous.

Therefore, they simply did not choose melee mechs for boarding battles and support mechs with almost no room to play. Five long-range fire mechs bombarded indiscriminately, as long as they killed all the silicon-based beasts when the monsters reached their side.

Of course, this lineup is not without its shortcomings. First of all, if the silicon-based beasts get close, the five long-range fire mechs will become very fragile. At the same time, even if they survive the first round, when the map becomes more complex and the number of silicon-based beasts increases, melee combat will be inevitable. At that time, the advantages of the five long-range fire mechs will disappear, and only the shortcomings will remain.

However, for the Row-of-Seats team, who only want to survive one round, this may be a good choice.

Battle start!

The map is a plain. It's really too flat. If it weren't for the grass, planes could even take off and land directly, and there were no obstacles at all. Silicon-based beasts spawned 500 meters away, with a quantity of twenty. Luo Rui's mouth couldn't help but twitch again. He never knew where the lower limit of low difficulty was, but now he understands a little.
