Silicon Invasion

Initially, when everyone saw Xiong Wu use the forbidden move, they thought the new special recruit would be taught a lesson. Who knew he would defuse it so effortlessly?

Then, he was precisely and remotely dismembered using long-range fire. A battle that everyone had been looking forward to ended so dramatically.

Using a machine gun to fire rocket projectiles, how impressive is that?

Three long-range fires, how impressive is that?

Flick-shot sniping, how impressive is that?

It's so impressive it's numbing. Many students probably won't be able to complete these three achievements even by graduation.

Some students strive to improve, but more students see an insurmountable gap. According to post-event statistics, in the entire Class 25, when choosing to specialize in melee or long-range fire mechs, over 90% of the students chose melee.

This is really abnormal, because people's subconscious still favors a safer environment, and compared to melee, the latter's output environment is obviously safer.

Therefore, in past statistics, the number of people choosing to specialize in long-range fire was much higher than melee.

But that despairing, no matter how hard you try, it's difficult to even see his back, made many students who loved long-range fire flinch.

It's like, in melee combat, everyone at least has something to strive for, but in long-range fire, he gets 100 points. Using him as a reference, others can only get 30 or 40 points. This feeling is really bad for the self-proclaimed geniuses.

Although Class 25 opened a half-year psychological counseling course afterward, emphasizing that Luo Rui was a special case, the effect of this comforting guidance was not good.

Such a living person living beside them, how can people ignore his excellence?

Sitting in the cockpit, Xiong Wu stared blankly at the "Battle Over" prompt, momentarily speechless. Before the match, he was full of confidence, thinking he could step on the special recruit's shoulders to reach a higher level, gaining the teacher's attention and the school's resource allocation.

He even secretly paid someone to spread the news of the challenge throughout the mech pilot academy within a few hours. But who would have thought that the stage he had painstakingly built would become someone else's showcase, and he, who should have been the protagonist, would be completely reduced to a clown.

A clown?

That's right, after this battle, everyone will probably look at him like they're looking at an overreaching clown.

Xiong Wu couldn't accept this fact. He prided himself on being a very strong person. Countless setbacks had never crushed him. In the end, they all became his nourishment, making him stronger and more outstanding.

But now, the blow was too heavy. Tears welled up in his red eyes. Xiong Wu kept sniffing, not letting the tears roll out, this was his last dignity.

His mouth was pursed like a platypus. The discomfort and grievance made his nasal cavity produce a long sound. The stuffiness in his chest made him want to roar and vent this indescribable feeling.

But he couldn't. He was Xiong Wu. He was the pride of his hometown, his school, and his parents. He couldn't deny his equally excellent self because of an overly excellent person.

Yes, those crooked dates he had beaten down were not qualified to laugh at him. Although he had lost the title of the strongest in Class 25, he could still be called a strongman.

Yes, the failure of this battle could not defeat him. There was gradually light in Xiong Wu's eyes, sparkling under the reflection of tears. There were no hurdles that people couldn't overcome. As long as he could see it clearly, Luo Rui could become a tool to constantly spur him forward.

Thinking like this, Xiong Wu suddenly felt enlightened. Being invincible was too lonely, and he was not invincible now, nor was he lonely. Perhaps such a life would be more exciting.

He hoped that Luo Rui's talent could support him for a longer period of time, so that he could spur himself for longer, and he could become stronger under this spur.

Luo Rui opened the simulated cockpit, took off his helmet, and saw the still-sealed cockpit next to him. His originally somewhat elated mood was somehow a little lonely.

To be honest, he had no hatred with Xiong Wu. After all, this was only their first meeting. Perhaps some would say that if it were a less capable special recruit, he might be ruined for life by Xiong Wu's challenge.

Luo Rui didn't know if this would be the case, and he didn't quite know whether a genius's mentality would be so extreme. Because although he used to be a good student with excellent character and learning, he couldn't even get the first place in the county or town school. Perhaps even if he was a genius, he would have to add a "small" before the word genius.

Because of this, there were many people who were stronger than him in learning since he was a child, so Luo Rui didn't develop a self-centered mentality. In his opinion, let alone second place, third or fourth, as long as it was in the top five, it was already a good result that could be shown off.

He felt that he could use this point of view to comfort Xiong Wu. After all, it's better to resolve feuds than to create them. Everyone will see each other often, and they will be in school together for several years. Maybe they will be comrades in arms in the future. There's no need to make the relationship too stiff.

"Chī…"

The sound of the hydraulic rod working suddenly sounded. Luo Rui turned his head and saw the cockpit next to him open, and Xiong Wu's condition was beyond his expectation.

Although his eyes were a little red, his mental state seemed to be good. It seemed that he didn't need his clumsy comfort.

Yes, Xiong Wu must also have excellent self-regulation ability to get to where he is today. That kind of genius who is self-centered and doesn't allow a second place in life, probably only exists in TV shows.

"Luo Rui, you are very strong!"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Xiong Wu smiled slightly and took the lead in saying: "Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Xiong Wu, please take care of me in the future."

Luo Rui scratched his head, why does this posture make it seem like he lost? However, Luo's mother taught him since he was a child that one should be forgiving when possible, harmony brings wealth, and don't hit a smiling face…

Since Xiong Wu, the loser, is already like this, he, the winner without any losses, naturally can't show weakness. He also grinned and stretched out his hand, pulling the seated Xiong Wu up: "Luo Rui, please take care of me."

Looking at the two people walking out of the room with laughter and smiles, the people waiting outside to watch the show were very disappointed. Was Xiong Wu subdued? It seems that he is nothing more than that…

However, apart from a small number of people who had grudges with Xiong Wu paying attention to Xiong Wu, most people would still prioritize paying attention to the winner.

Luo Rui was watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes, which made him, who was somewhat socially awkward, very uncomfortable. Seeing people gradually surrounding him, he, who couldn't handle this situation, chose to run away.

"Sorry, I'll leave first."

He said in a low voice, just loud enough for Xiong Wu to hear, and Luo Rui retreated without looking back.

Xiong Wu chuckled. It seemed that his "new friend" was still a shy person, but it was a pity that a man was so handsome. If Luo Rui was a woman, his life would also have a new goal.
