Silicon Invasion

The HX team's participants from the sophomore group: Luo Rui, Ji Ran, Qiao Bin, Kong Xiang, and Xiong Wu.

Substitutes: Wang Qiang, Ma Ka.

All the players came from the North Mountain and South Ridge Academies, which is understandable, given that the top twenty in the previous Academy Exchange Competition were all students from these two academies.

The participating players were also selected based on their rankings, which silenced any objections. Kong Xiang was the second seat of South Ridge Academy and fourth in the Exchange Competition.

Xiong Wu was originally sixth in the Exchange Competition, which wouldn't have been enough to make the starting lineup; he could only be a substitute. Unfortunately, A Can, who was fifth in the Exchange Competition, had an accident at the Hu Can base, so Xiong Wu took his place.

The two substitutes, Wang Qiang, was originally the fourth seat of South Ridge Academy, now the third, and Ma Ka was the fourth seat of North Mountain Academy, the player who chose a five-warrior, seven-support lineup in the challenge and performed brilliantly.

The competition uses virtual machines, which are quite secure, but accidents are inevitable in intense confrontations. Although there is no danger to life, bumps and bruises are unavoidable.

If there are several high-intensity matches in a row, the body may not be able to handle it, so the event organizers allow each team to arrange two substitutes. However, with HX's lineup, they can basically only be water boys.

However, even being a substitute can accumulate some major competition experience, which is of great benefit to their future development and is a position that many people dream of.

The team is led by a leader from the Ministry of Education, but the specifics are handled by the academy teachers. Zhang Zhanwei, the vice president of North Mountain Academy, is an old acquaintance who is responsible for Luo Rui's grade level. This big shot was the one who led the team to the Hu Can base back then.

"The competition is about to start tomorrow. Has the order of play been decided?"

Each player participating in this competition is assigned a teacher as a personal coach. Although they may not have known Luo Rui and Zhang Zhi for as long, they have been working together for at least a month and have a relatively good understanding of the players they are responsible for.

At the same time, the teachers are also part of the competition's think tank. Because this competition's KOF format is quite special and does not require advance submission of the order of play, it requires even more flexible wisdom to formulate corresponding tactics.

How to use the relationship of machine type counters, and the game of upper and lower horses, all have a very large emphasis.

Of course, this is only in the case of comparable levels.

The teachers looked at each other, and Zhang Zhi said, "There are a total of 62 teams participating in this competition. Our opponents in the first few rounds are not strong. Our idea is to let all the other team members, except for Luo Rui, play, first to familiarize themselves with the competition process, and second to experience the atmosphere."

Luo Rui scratched his head in the back. Was he the only one who didn't need to familiarize himself with the competition process and experience the atmosphere? Why was he singled out?

President Zhang seemed to have the same question, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why not let Luo Rui play?"

"After analyzing, the Limerian Federation is likely to have one or more players with dominance in the same grade level, so they came up with this competition to show their strength. According to the Limerian people's style, if they had such players earlier, they couldn't have waited until now to hold it, so most likely, these players should have just recently obtained them. Combining the lowest grade level for participation, they should be in the sophomore group."

Zhang Zhi calmly spoke eloquently, and President Zhang nodded frequently. In fact, these are very superficial things that can be thought of with a little thought. However, President Zhang didn't say anything, knowing that Zhang Zhi had more to say.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhi continued, "You should also know Luo Rui's combat power, which is also dominant in the grade."

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Ji Ran and the others.

Ji Ran and the others complained in their hearts, 'Why are you looking at us? What can we say? You're right.'

But the few people also admitted in their hearts that Luo Rui's combat power in their grade was indeed in a league of its own.

President Zhang also nodded. Ji Ran was the son of his good friend. He had also watched the battle between Luo Rui and Ji Ran. Although he was not born as an ace pilot, he had been in education for so many years and had some insight.

He also knew how much resources and convenience Ji Ran had obtained as he grew up. He also knew Ji Ran's strength in his heart. In theory, Ji Ran, who came out of this environment, should have a dominant combat power in the same grade.

If it weren't for Luo Rui, that would indeed be the case. It can be seen from the battle between Ji Ran and Qiao Bin that Ji Ran almost crushed Qiao Bin.

But even Ji Ran was like an infant in front of Luo Rui, with a combat power that was unimaginably different, making everyone who knew the inside story feel unbelievable.

Including him, and including his good friend.

This was almost a despairing gap, so they could only fabricate some reasons to prevent Luo Rui from participating in some events, so that other students could have some experience.

In fact, it was to give Ji Ran a better experience. Without Luo Rui, Ji Ran would easily win all kinds of championships.

However, Ji Ran, on the whole, was just a genius built up with resources and diligence. Not to mention a superpower like the Limerian Federation, any academy executive, as long as they were willing to put in the effort, plus a diligent junior, it would not be difficult to recreate Ji Ran.

So, Ji Ran's genius is very easy to replicate. If he were in another grade, his strength would definitely be among the best in the world, but in the sophomore grade, on the track prepared by the Limerian Federation, I am afraid there would not be such a big advantage.

Zhang Zhi also meant this. If the Limerian Federation had a few players of the same level as Ji Ran, then they would definitely not be considered dominant. At least, they would have to be able to defeat Ji Ran's level with absolute certainty to meet the requirements.

"So, Luo Rui is our magic weapon for victory. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Before colliding with the Limerian Federation, Luo Rui had better not take action, so as not to leak his own information."

Everyone nodded, knowing the importance of information.

"The task of the others is to bring our team to the finals."

"Well, okay, let's do it this way." Zhang Zhanwei finalized the decision: "I will notify the country to increase the confidentiality level of Luo Rui's competition videos, and at the same time, I will collect as much information as possible from other teams for you."

"Received." Everyone responded in unison.

Walking out of the leader's room, Luo Rui scratched his head. Didn't this mean that he would have nothing to do for the first few competition days? Could he go out and have some fun?

This was his first time abroad, and maybe he could take a good look at the exotic scenery. By the way, he could also buy some local specialties and bring some gifts to his parents and Luan Hui.

However, Luo Rui then dismissed the idea, because he thought of the female reporter who didn't listen to people. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he was caught by that thing?
