Silicon Invasion

Although the idea of going out and experiencing exotic customs was tempting, Luo Rui quickly dismissed the idea because he thought of that female reporter who didn't listen to people. Wouldn't getting caught by her be asking for trouble?

Moreover, he had heard that the security in the United Federation of America wasn't very good, that gun battles could break out on the streets at any time, and that other unpleasant things could happen. Therefore, Luo Rui finally decided that it would be better to stay in the hotel honestly.

"Good morning ~"

The next day, in the restaurant, everyone except Luo Rui looked listless.

But this was unavoidable. HX and the United Federation of America were on opposite sides of the planet, so the time difference was completely reversed. Plus, they had basically been sleeping on the plane, so even though everyone was tired, they couldn't sleep.

But this didn't include Luo Rui. Luo Rui could eat and sleep well now, and with his high stamina, he was the most energetic and in the best condition in the entire team.

Unfortunately, he, who was in the best mental state, didn't need to play…

"Our competition is in the afternoon. You guys should get some more sleep in the morning. Luo Rui, you and I will go watch the morning competition!"

Zhang Zhi instructed while peeling an egg. Principal Zhang didn't come to breakfast, so Zhang Zhi took over the command without hesitation.

The other teachers from Beishan College didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Zhang Zhi's rank, ability, and connections were all sufficient to take on this role. As for the teachers from Nanling College, their participating players' rankings and numbers were not as high as Beishan College's, so naturally, they were too embarrassed to fight for the command position.

After breakfast, everyone couldn't wait to go back to their rooms to catch up on sleep, while Luo Rui followed Zhang Zhi to the arena, entering the special viewing platform with the participating team's badge.

Because it was his first time seeing foreign teams, Luo Rui was quite looking forward to the upcoming competition.

The two sides in the first match were both small countries with small land areas and small populations. Luo Rui had barely even heard of their country names.

Immediately afterward, Luo Rui saw a match that left a deep impression on him.

Not because it was too exciting, but because…

…it was too boring.

Only then did Luo Rui understand that not every country was like HX and had the same conditions as them.

There were only a few countries or forces in total that possessed mecha research and production capabilities. Other countries could basically only purchase them. The slightly stronger ones could tidy up the production lines eliminated by the major powers, or buy more mecha bodies and get one and a half assembly lines, and then produce a few outdated mechas.

This meant that most countries didn't have their own fourth-generation mechas. Therefore, the mechas they chose to participate in the competition could only be third-generation mechas, and they were all from different countries.

Luo Rui even saw Warrior 7 and Archer 3…

Luo Rui instantly questioned the fairness of the competition…

How could they fight like this?

Don't look at them fighting so fiercely now, that's only because they are evenly matched opponents. Once they encounter a team with a fourth-generation mecha, wouldn't they be purely crushed? After all, the difference between generations is not so easily smoothed out by skill.

Besides, their skills were just so-so. Perhaps because they lacked systematic learning, if their level was placed in HX, let alone Beishan College and Nanling College, even in a second-tier college, it would be difficult to get a good ranking.

"Is that it?"

In this way, wouldn't the opponents only be those few teams using fourth-generation mechas?

Perhaps sensing Luo Rui's thoughts, Zhang Zhi's deep voice sounded in Luo Rui's ear: "Watch carefully and tell the others your feelings later."

Feelings?

Luo Rui scratched his head. His feeling was that even Xiong Wu could probably defeat five opponents in a row with the level of the participating teams in front of him. What was there to summarize? Did he have to tell the truth?

The level of the two sides in the competition was really hard to praise. Plus, they were at the sophomore level, so it was really hard to describe. However, they did fight back and forth. One match lasted eight rounds and almost went the distance.

Luo Rui was originally in good spirits, but after watching until the end, he no longer had the heart to watch the competition, and instead focused on fighting his eyelids.

To be honest, when he was performing guard duty in Maikan, he had never been so sleepy even after being awake for two days and two nights.

Zhang Zhi next to him wasn't doing much better, but in order not to lose his composure in front of Luo Rui, he still tried to stare with his big eyes at the broadcast screen. However, the occasional yawns and the tears filling his eyes showed what state he was in.

Luo Rui sighed a little. This old boy Zhang Zhi was quite patriotic. He had to know that in Luo Rui's heart, he used to be a very irresponsible figure.

"Luo Rui, how was the competition? How strong are the opponents?"

When eating lunch, Zhang Zhi and Luo Rui were burying their heads and eating fiercely without saying a word, making the atmosphere seem a little heavy. Several team members exchanged glances, and finally Xiong Wu carefully asked.

It's true that among these team members, Luo Rui had the deepest impression of Xiong Wu. After all, Xiong Wu was the first little BOSS to appear in his college life.

It's just that now this little BOSS no longer had the arrogance and self-confidence he had at the beginning. Since Luo Rui's San Yuanhuo combination easily defeated him, he had some unspeakable feelings for Luo Rui.

Admiration, unwillingness, timidity, and other emotions mixed together. Until later, Luo Rui easily defeated Ji Ran and won the championship of the exchange competition, Xiong Wu became Luo Rui's little fanboy, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't brag about Luo Rui to others.

Luo Rui had heard his three roommates talk about this, and he found it quite funny at the time. Because of this, his impression of Xiong Wu had also changed a lot, which made the relationship between the two rapidly warm up and get along harmoniously.

Xiong Wu was not familiar with Zhang Zhi, but Luo Rui's cloudy face frightened him. Could it be that the opponents were so strong that they could make Luo Rui, who was invincible in his heart, show this expression?

However, this matter still needed to be confirmed, and finally, Luo Rui could talk about his own views.

"Huh?" Suddenly hearing someone call his name, Luo Rui looked up, his solemn face turning into a blank look. He had really been tormented a lot all morning, and it was not easy to hold on until lunchtime, so naturally, he had to replenish himself well.

Under mental trance, he simply didn't know what kind of expression he had. As for Zhang Zhi's side, Luo Rui didn't know why he was putting on that stinky face.

In fact, the reason was simple. Zhang Zhi thought Luo Rui was acting, after all, the real situation was not very inspiring. Looking at Luo Rui's appearance, he thought Luo Rui wanted to create some pressure for the team members so that they would work hard. The clever Zhang Zhi consciously saw through Luo Rui's thoughts and consciously cooperated.

Luo Rui reacted to the question Xiong Wu asked, he sighed inwardly and said: "It's hard to describe."

"Take your time, don't worry." Luo Rui's words made everyone understand that there was a story here. Gossip was human nature, and several people immediately sat up straight, with expectant faces.
