Silicon Invasion

"Brothers and sisters, I wonder if you've been paying attention to the International University Mecha Exchange Tournament?"

"Sister Yu, you watch this too?"

"That's right, Sister Yu, you're a food exploration vlogger."

Although Luo Rui's introduction was low-key, he still had a lot of followers, including Liu Yu, who had worked with him before.

"Haha, I didn't used to watch it, but do you guys remember the Anonymous Little Brother?"

"Of course, I remember, but Little Brother has been gone for a long time. Are you going to collaborate again?"

Although Luo Rui wore a mask during his initial live stream, he still gained a lot of fans. Even after more than a year, people still remember him.

"No, he's now representing the country in the competition. How could he have time to collaborate with me?"

Liu Yu's words were a bit resentful. Whether it was her appearance or her family, her conditions were quite good. If she were a few years younger and saw a handsome guy like Luo Rui, she would definitely make a move.

Unfortunately, the age difference between her and Luo Rui was too great, making her feel a little embarrassed. Liu Yu was now regretting that if she had been more decisive back then, she could have easily captured a naive young man like Luo Rui who had never seen the world. But now, the gap between their statuses was too big, and Luo Rui had already left Dongmu, making the hope slim.

Originally, she didn't know that Luo Rui was representing Beishan College in the competition, but she had a younger cousin who was admitted to Beishan this year and greatly admired Luo Rui, who also came from Beishan, and often talked about Luo Rui in front of her.

Like this competition, it was he who shared it with Liu Yu. It seems that only people from the same hometown can understand his feelings.

Liu Yu did feel that emotion because after learning about this news, she couldn't wait to share it with others.

Although her live stream had nothing to do with mecha, and her fans didn't pay much attention to mecha, she still wanted to talk about it.

"Wow, really? Anonymous Little Brother is so awesome."

"Hmph, the smart me has already searched for and opened the competition, and is now looking for Anonymous Little Brother."

"Haha, there are seven people in total. The streamer can start a round of guessing."

"Tch, you don't even need to guess. Anonymous Little Brother is definitely the most handsome one!"

"But they're all pretty handsome..."

"Sure enough, all the handsome guys have been handed over to the country..."

"Streamer, please announce it quickly. Which one is Anonymous Little Brother?"

Aside from Liu Yu's side, the Starry Sky Arena in Dongmu was also quite lively at this time.

"I told you a long time ago that this kid would be promising." The entire Starry Sky Team gathered together, and Uncle Niu's wrinkles increased by several folds as he smiled, looking very excited.

"Did you even need to say that?"

"That's right, anyone who can be specially recruited by Beishan is promising. Boss, don't try to take credit for yourself."

"Haha..."

"Tch, I put a lot of effort into the special recruitment back then."

This was undeniable. To some extent, Uncle Niu was indeed Luo Rui's mentor. Uncle Niu played a key role in Luo Rui's special recruitment.

"Alright, alright, we know you made a great contribution. Help us get a few autographs later."

"Wife, our son's competition is about to start." Dad Luo lay on a seemingly high-end sofa, with a huge TV screen covering the entire wall in front of him.

The two elders had also worked very hard in recent years. In order to achieve the goal of "raising their son poorly", they hadn't enjoyed anything themselves. Now that Luo Rui had gone to school outside, the two elders had nothing to do at home, so they improved their quality of life a bit.

So, they knocked through the east and west units on the second floor of Luo Rui's secret base and renovated it well. When they had time, the two elders would come and live here.

"It's starting, it's starting."

"Fortunately, I supported our son back then, otherwise such a genius would have been buried by you." Dad Luo shamelessly took credit for himself, but Mom Luo didn't indulge his bad habit at all.

"How come I remember someone didn't even dare to fart back then?"

"Hmph, I didn't want to intensify the conflict. I never said anything about the kid practicing at home." Dad Luo was smug. Luo Rui didn't hide it from him when he practiced his hand speed at home with a keyboard. This was the tacit understanding between the two.

"What? There's such a thing? Good, Lao Luo, you've really confessed without being forced. Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?" Mom Luo put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Dad Luo.

The newest and fastest novels are first published at 69shuba!

Dad Luo realized that something was wrong, shut his mouth, and pretended to focus on watching TV, trying to muddle through, but looking at Mom Luo's posture, this would be very difficult.

On the arena side.

"Teacher, then I'll go first." Xiong Wu greeted the teachers, nodded to Luo Rui and the others, and walked alone towards the locker room.

He was the first HX player to participate in this competition, which was a great honor.

Although he had enough confidence in the competition, he was also under great pressure as he had never participated in such a large-scale competition. His departing figure was slightly timid, and Luo Rui saw that his calf muscles were shaking a little...

Hoping that it wouldn't affect his performance, Luo Rui silently prayed. He didn't laugh at Xiong Wu. If it were him, he might have shaken a little too.

The competition started quickly. Xiong Wu chose the fourth-generation mecha, Huben. This was a close-combat mecha. Unlike speed-type mechas like "Zhuan Zhu" and "Yu Rang", the 12 thrusters all over Huben's body allowed it to maintain its mobility while its 150mm alloy armor made it very focused on defense.

With an unladen mass of forty-five tons, its defense was comparable to the Warrior series mecha, but its mobility could leave the Warrior mecha far behind. It was terrifying to think that such a heavy mecha had such excellent mobility.

In fact, Xiong Wu originally wanted to use a third-generation mecha. After all, according to Luo Rui's information, the level of these small country players was still relatively limited, and Xiong Wu thought that this would also hide his strength.

As a result, Zhang Zhi's words almost made him lose his composure: "What are you hiding with your little bit of stuff? Just use the fourth-generation mecha. But be gentle."

Zhang Zhi later explained the reason for doing so. Although the level of those small country players was limited, their countries were all customers of these big countries.

As the saying goes, the customer is God. Although even so, you can't actively admit defeat on the field, you can make the customers not look so bad.

If you use a third-generation mecha to compete with others and then crush them, wouldn't that be clearly saying that their level is not good? How would they do things when they go back, and how would the newspaper write about it?

But using a fourth-generation mecha is completely different. Wouldn't it be natural to lose at that time? Isn't this the difference between people, but the difference between models? Don't want to fall too far behind? Simple! The finance department approves money, replace equipment, and we will also replace fourth-generation mecha and corresponding simulators. In this way, people don't feel bad when they lose, and not only will they not be blamed when they go back, but they may also make a small profit.

In the future, if HX encounters anything, they may remember this kindness and help say a few words.

Great power diplomacy is reflected in all aspects.
