Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 492 Escort Mission

The next morning, Lando checked the game information.

[Longma Group Bronze Mech Battle Contest] The final number of applicants was fixed at 85391!
It seems that there are a lot of people, but the distribution of the entire Yanlong constellation is only one thousandth of it. According to the rules of the audition knockout round, Lando only needs to win ten games in a row to enter the top tier. 64.

On average, there are three or four games a day.

His first match today is in the afternoon, so there is no need to rush. After packing up, he goes out to the painting club.

After coming to the painting club, he didn't see the two sisters Nalanxin and Nalankui, so Lando was not in a hurry. According to the habit of these two sisters, even if they didn't come in the morning, they would come at noon.

Lando began to watch the works exhibited by the painting club with peace of mind. Although he had seen it many times, every time he saw it, it would bring him a new understanding.

Unknowingly approaching noon, Lando, who was immersed in the transformation, moved his ears slightly and heard a familiar voice.

Turning around to look, I saw two sisters, Nalanxin and Nalankui, talking and laughing.

"Sister!" Lando stepped forward to greet her.

"Yo, isn't this our busy man... little brother Lando?!" Nalan Kui squinted and said in a strange voice.

Nalan Xin was still gentle and asked, "Student Lan Duo, are you done with your business?"

Lando has long been accustomed to Nalan Kui's teasing, and said with a smile, "Yes, it's finally finished. Although there are some twists and turns, the result is still satisfactory."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lando asked straight to the point: "Senior sisters, I don't know the escort mission agreed before, when shall we leave?"

Na Lanxin smiled and said: "Mr. Edvard Munch is one of the partners of our painting club. There are still about twelve days left for his private art exhibition held in Lapu Star. Three days later, Edvard Munch Mister's spaceship will pass by Yanlong Star, when that time comes, we can just board the ship and go with us."

"There are a lot of works of art on board, and our mission is to safely send them to Lapu. Of course, the route is actually very safe, and the spaceship also has its own escort. We just need to follow. There are so many things to be responsible for.”

three days later?The audition knockout round has just ended!

There is no need to delay too much time in the main game, and this task sounds like some kind of welfare, and it should be very easy, so there is no need to worry about conflicts between the task and the game.

Thinking in his mind, Lando said, "That's great, I can't wait to appreciate the paintings of those famous artists!"

Na Lanxin nodded and smiled: "Besides the three of us, there are seven other members of the painting club on this mission, Junior Brother Lan Duo, are you free tonight, let's go get together and introduce you to each other. "

"This..." Lando quickly skipped the game time he had arranged for today in his mind. They were all concentrated in the afternoon, so he nodded and said, "It happens to be fine, just listen to the senior sister's arrangement."

In fact, Lando has seldom communicated since he entered Yanlong University. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't need it!
In Lando's self-awareness, it only takes three or four years at most, and he will be able to raise the awareness of consciousness to the critical point of 25%, preparing for the promotion to the level of 'immortality'.

In this time period, if it's teachers such as Ruan Honglian, Tu Tianzi, and sisters Nalan, it's nothing more than passive communication.

But if he is asked to take the initiative to make friends with classmates and manage contacts, in Lando's view, it is a waste of his precious time.

However, the reason Lando didn't reject Nalanxin's proposal this time was because he didn't want to disobey the other party's kindness. He could clearly feel that whether it was taking him on missions or introducing more members to him, Nalan and the two The starting point of the sisters is good.

The second is related to his own performance. In many cases, he can’t just follow this path just because he knows the optimal solution. He can have talent and arrogance, and he can’t be less than light and dusty. He is now from the ancestral star and has some talents from Yanlong University. The student Lando, not the grand arcanist Lando!
Lando still has a long way to go in the dimensional universe, and no unnecessary flaws should be left behind!

Although the two Nalan sisters were unaware of Lando's change of mind, they were very happy that Lando was able to attend the party.

After agreeing on a time, Lando returned to the dormitory directly after making an excuse to go back to rest.

Entering [Machine Warfare World], you will receive prompts from your brain directly.

"Dear King of Machine Warfare, there is still one hour and 35 minutes before your match. Please prepare in advance. If you need to delay the game, please apply one hour in advance. If you do not enter the arena 5 minutes after the start of the game, you will be forfeited. joy!"

Lando's private space is the original arena, where he can watch the projection directly, or go to the virtual venue of [Longma Group Bronze Class Mech Battle Competition] to watch.

Pulling out the battle screen, Lando casually watched for a while, his strength was basically so-so, and few of them caught his eye.

Time passed, and soon came Lando's battle time.

Under the prompt of Zhinao, Lando directly chose to teleport.

The opponent's strength is mediocre, and the record is even worse. In Lando's opinion, they are not even as good as the three they met in the promotion match.

After three punches and two kicks, Lando returned to his private space and waited for the next fight.

Until the evening, after he played all three games today, he took a look at the remaining players...

19685!

More than 6 people were eliminated in less than a day, and today's audition knockout round is not over yet.

Only in the virtual world can there be such efficiency. If such a competition is held in reality, it will take a lot of effort just for the audition knockout competition!
After tidying up a bit, Lando deliberately set off a little earlier and went to the painting club.

When he arrived, he saw that the two sisters Nalan were already waiting here.

"Am I late?" Lando stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

Nalan Xin shook her head and said, "No, you came very early."

Nalan Kui also echoed, "Because we organized this party, of course we have to arrive early!"

Lando nodded slightly.

As time went by, people came one after another. Basically, Lando only knew each other, and most of them couldn't even be called by their names.

Under the help of sister Nalan, they all got to know each other one by one.

When the appointed time approached, the ninth person came slowly.

"Sorry sorry, I'm not late."

Nalankui pinched her waist and said, "Awa, you are like this every time, you just like to step on it!"

"Haha, step on a little bit, that means you're not late!" The young man named Awa said with a smile.

Na Lanxin introduced to Lando: "This is Ava Lynch, Ava, this is Lando, you should know him too."

Nalankui added: "Don't look at Ava like this, he is actually very strong!"

Ava Lynch yelled dissatisfied: "Hey, what do you mean don't look at me like this? Is there anything wrong with me?!"

Lando greeted with a smile: "Senior Ava."

Ava looked at Lando and said, "Tsk tsk, Junior Lando, you are a legend in my circle. I have wanted to know you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. From now on, we should get closer."

I didn't feel any malice or ridicule, this is... acquaintance?

Lando said with an unchanged smile: "Okay, I will trouble Senior Ava to take care of you from now on."

Ava laughed loudly and said, "It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"

Seeing that the two had finished exchanging pleasantries, Nalankui asked, "Where's your good friend Terry? Didn't he go with you?"

Ava shrugged and said, "Don't wait for that boy Terry, he won't come until later."

Seeing everyone's doubts, Ava explained: "The two of us participated in a competition called [Longma Group Bronze Class Mech Combat Competition] in [Machine Warfare World]. It was organized by Longma Group. The championship award is very attractive!"

"Terry is quite unlucky. Today's last knockout match is scheduled for the evening, so he will come later."

Oh hoo, have you met your colleagues?

Lando looked at Ava with an interesting expression.

Before Nalanxin could speak, Nalankui said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with you two, we are about to go on an escort mission, and you are still distracted by other things?"

Although everyone knows that this escort mission is just a formality, but it shouldn't be too perfunctory.

"Don't worry! Don't worry!" Ava hurriedly comforted this 'little ancestor': "Although this competition overlaps with our escort mission, it basically doesn't take much time. If it doesn't work, we just abstain!"

Nalankui whimpered and wanted to say something, Nalanxin said warmly: "Okay, Xiaokui, it's not a big deal."

"Longma Group, is that famous mech module manufacturing group?"

The last sentence is to ask Ava, but also to change the subject.

Ava said embarrassingly: "Yes, this time the championship reward is a specially customized high-level mecha module, which is quite rare."

It can be seen that with the exception of Lando, the few people who came here are quite familiar, and this little episode will soon pass.

The gathering of several people did not exceed Lando's expectations, and they found a high-end restaurant, and everyone chatted while eating together.

During this period, a young man named Tai Li also came in a hurry, and everyone naturally laughed again.

Lando also naturally blended into it.

On the second day of the audition knockout round, Lando played three more rounds, and the remaining number of participants became 1325.

On the third day, Lando played four games. The opponent's overall strength improved a lot, but he still won easily.

When Lando secured a qualifying spot in advance, there were only 166 remaining participants.

Although he knew that there would be his opponent among the remaining 166 people, Lando no longer had any interest in watching and directly quit [World of Machine Warfare].

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, Lando stretched and began to pack his things.

The most important thing is of course to bring the virtual helmet.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the agreed time, and no one was late this time.

After renting the school's automatic cruising vehicle, a group of ten people set off directly to the only airport on Yanlong Star.

After leaving Yanlong University, the bustle of the surrounding university town attracted Lando's attention.

Speaking of which, he has been in Yanlong University for so long, and he has never visited the University City, let alone outside the University City.

Seeing Lando staring out of the window in a daze, Ava approached with a smile and said, "Why, Junior Lando, haven't you been to the University City?"

Lando shrugged helplessly and said, "Since I came to Yanlong University, I have been busy with various things, so far I haven't even had time to rest."

At this time, Tai Li came over with a surprised face and said, "I didn't expect Junior Lando to be so diligent!"

Then he changed into a cheap expression and said: "Hey, when you come back from this escort mission, let me take you to the university town to have fun, senior! So that you can learn a lot!"

Awa smiled and said, "That's right, that's right!"

"Yo! What are you talking about? You're so happy, it makes me happy to say it!"

The two sisters, Nalanxin and Nalankui, also leaned over. Nalankui stared at Awa and Taili, and asked with a bad expression.

Awa and Taili shook slightly, and smiled a little cowardly. In their eyes, if Nalanxin is a gentle and big sister, then Nalankui is a little witch through and through, who can't be provoked!

Terry said with an awkward smile: "It's nothing, we're talking... well, this time the escort mission!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Ava also echoed.

Nalan Kui glanced at the two of them sideways, and said disdainfully: "Our escort mission this time will not grow up with your experience in the University City! You two, don't lead Junior Rando down!"

While chatting, the automatic cruising car quickly drove out of the university town.

The external environment shook Lando's consciousness slightly, and he keenly felt that something had changed.

Reminiscent of what Ruan Honglian once mentioned, there are no dangerous dimensional beings in the dimensional world within the coverage of Yanlong University. Perhaps the changes he perceives are related to this.

However, Lando is not going to test the shadow dimension of the outside world right now, this matter can be discussed after the escort mission is over.

At that time, you can also ask Teacher Ruan Honglian to see if there is anything that needs attention when exploring the shadow dimension in the outside world.

After writing down this matter, Lando also naturally joined the chatting among the crowd.

Soon, everyone arrived at the airport.

After explaining their purpose, the airport staff took them to a waiting room.

It didn't take long for everyone to wait, and the small transport ship that came to pick them up arrived.

There were only two people on board, and after confirming the identities of Lando and his party, they immediately launched the spaceship and flew away from Yanlong Star.

After entering the outer space, the small transport ship flew straight to a huge transport ship with a body length of 500 meters, a width and a height of 300 meters, which stayed not far from Yanlong Star.

This giant transport ship is the target that Lando and the others need to escort on this trip.

After entering the transport ship, a group of more than ten people were already waiting for them.

The leader was a burly, middle-aged woman with short hair and uniform, quite military demeanor.

After Nalanxin shook hands with the middle-aged woman in the lead, she introduced: "This is Ms. Ossana Carioca, the captain of the escort of this transport ship. We need to obey Ms. Ossana for the rest of the time." command."

Lando and the others nodded slightly, and no one had any objections.
