Silicon Invasion

"The rest is up to you."

"Rest assured!"

Although the Sun Yue incident occurred, both Luo Rui and Ji Ran were highly skilled and somewhat socially awkward. Although they hadn't exchanged many words, their relationship was quite good, akin to a gentleman's friendship being as light as water.

Ji Ran, being helped to the changing room, happened to run into Luo Rui, who was there to change. He gave a wry smile and said.

Since the start of the competition, this was Luo Rui's first appearance. After sitting on the bench for so long, he was eager and ready for this opportunity.

He had also seen some of the online comments, so Luo Rui needed this opportunity to showcase himself and prove his worth.

Originally, he was worried that Ji Ran's performance would be too valiant, directly achieving a one-versus-four victory. Fortunately, he didn't disappoint him and left some scraps for him.

"Next up for the HX team is Luo Rui. This is Luo Rui's first appearance since the competition began. Let's all look forward to his performance together."

The beautiful host, with her professional demeanor, announced the match information with a smile. However, the deeply hidden worry still indicated that she wasn't as calm as she appeared.

"That guy is finally on."

"I thought he was going to be a coward forever."

"You don't know anything. This is all part of the coaching team's strategy. Luo Rui is very strong, just wait and see."

"We'll wait and see, and hope he blows our minds."

"Me too!"

"Same here!"

"Then you'd better go to the orthopedics department to register first, to avoid queuing later."

"Please select a unit."

"Qingtian."

"Whether to bring your own auxiliary AI."

"Yes."

Luo Rui already had the standard pilot's watch, with Number Eight stored inside.

"Haha, you're finally on. I'm honored to be your first opponent in this competition, but I'm also sorry, I'm going to end your path forward."

Just as he entered the arena, Hardy's arrogant tone, speaking politely, was broadcasted, which was permitted by the event. Trash talk was also a tactic.

Luo Rui didn't understand Drek, but with today's advanced technology, real-time translation technology was already widespread, and Number Eight had this feature.

After hearing Hardy's words, Luo Rui smiled slightly and replied: "Sorry ~"

Hardy was confused by this apology, but the piercing alarm immediately brought him back to reality.

Two recoilless rifles opened fire first, and armor-piercing rounds flew towards the King's Guard with a whistling sound. Hardy cursed this guy for not playing fair while holding his shield in front of him.

Almost instantly, two armor-piercing rounds hit the shield, but they failed to penetrate it. The shells were stuck on the shield, losing their power. At the same time, the King's Guard's counterattack began. Two tracking missiles were launched under the control of the AI, and the two recoilless rifles also began to adjust their angles.

Unfortunately, Luo Rui was now piloting a fourth-generation unit, and his strength had improved significantly since the beginning. How could he be locked on by a slow-turning weapon like a recoilless rifle?

The thrusters exploded with fire, and Qingtian instantly ejected, circling the King's Guard, trying to enter its blind spot.

Even if the King's Guard's maneuverability was poor, its speed of spinning in place would definitely be faster than Qingtian circling a nearly 500-meter diameter circle, not to mention locking on to the moving Qingtian was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, the tracking missiles didn't care about that. The heat source sprayed by Qingtian's body gave them the best positioning.

"Damn it!"

"666… …"

"That was a cool move!"

"I'm starting to believe this guy is a super ace."

An expert knows what's up as soon as they make a move. Although shooting down missiles with machine guns is usually a special skill, it's not uncommon in the international arena where elites gather, not to mention the senior and junior groups, even the sophomore group.

However, Luo Rui's move revealed a calmness that other players did not possess. At this moment, people could only think of two words—elegance.

That's right, these shots didn't have any panicked fluster, only composure. It was completely different from those players who started frantically shooting when the missiles were still 400 meters away.

Hardy's face became serious in an instant. He knew that the situation he least wanted to see had happened. Luo Rui was not the good-for-nothing that the intelligence said, but a truly hidden ace.

Unfortunately, he knew it too late.

Qingtian went full throttle and instantly bypassed the shield that was standing there. He raised his arms and shot down two more missiles in mid-air. He took down the sniper grenade launcher with his right arm, didn't even aim, and fired a shot.

The King's Guard was fully armored, even the weapons on its shoulders were protected. The power of the sniper grenade launcher was really not enough to see. But there was one place that was the only place that would be damaged by the sniper grenade launcher.

That was the sniper grenade launcher in the King's Guard's hand!

Although it was also an all-metal body, the protection was too thin and could not prevent the damage of the sniper grenade launcher at all.

With a crisp sound, the connection between the sniper grenade launcher's barrel and body was broken with one shot, and a few scattered parts flew out. It was obvious that it could not be used.

The five long-range firepower instantly became four, only one more than Luo Rui's side. The advantage was not as great as it was just now.

Luo Rui had entered a secondary state of concentration. If it were another unit, it would be difficult to hit the sniper grenade launcher, but the King's Guard's maneuverability was too poor, and the sniper grenade launcher was not its standard weapon, so the protection was not in place. Luo Rui seized the gap and solved it instantly.

This set of operations seemed simple, but it was not so easy to complete. Avoiding the aiming of the recoilless rifle, shooting down the tracking missiles, and bypassing the shield in extremely fast flight all had to be completed in a very short period of time to create such an opportunity.

Hardy, who had lost his sniper grenade launcher, was a little annoyed. He seemed to be a gentle and handsome guy, but in fact, he was a volatile powder keg. He now understood what Luo Rui's apology meant, but he only felt that this was humiliation.

When he got angry, his operation became a little deformed. Soon, Luo Rui seized the opportunity and two recoilless rifles hit the connection between the King's Guard's right arm and shoulder from the side.

Losing his right arm, the King's Guard, who had lost some balance, had no chance. Like being cut with a knife, he was served by armor-piercing bullets and explosive bullets in turn. The defense he had always relied on made Hardy hate it. If they were not so strong, he would not have been humiliated here.

Finally, an armor-piercing bullet drilled into the bottom of the cockpit from the side waist, penetrated the defense of the cockpit, and the high temperature released by the armor-piercing bullet instantly sent Hardy out of the arena, ending the battle in a short time that exceeded everyone's expectations.

The next two opponents had no power to resist Luo Rui. The entire battle process lasted less than five minutes.

The battle ended, and the HX team successfully advanced. Next, they will face the winner between the United States Federation and the Goose Bear Federation.
