Ch 53: Monsters hidden within the City; the Mecha Simulation final match.
Shortly after, Chen Yi carried Yu Guagua on the way back home.
The journey wasn’t long, and it happened to be autumn, with gusts of cool wind, quite comfortable.
Chen Yi closed his eyes, sensing that his Mother was already asleep, so he didn’t think much of it.
A strange smell slowly wafted from the air, and rustling sounds came from near Chen Yi.
Feili slid down from Chen Yi’s body, transforming into another “Chen Yi” on the ground.
Feili, wielding the Space Blade, walked towards the shadows, and Chen Yi slowly followed behind Feili.
A bright light appeared. Not far from Chen Yi, a rat was tearing something apart.
Near the rat were abandoned insect eggs; the contents had long since disappeared.
This rat was also strange, with mantis blades on its body and butterfly wings on its back; it was about half a meter tall.
With a thought from Chen Yi, Feili swung a blade. In an instant, the rat split in two, and dark green liquid continuously flowed onto the ground.
Chen Yi stepped forward to observe the rat closely.
Before Chen Yi could take a closer look, the rat turned to gray smoke and vanished on the spot, leaving only a pool of green liquid.
“Older Brother, no energy reaction.”
Feili’s mechanical voice entered Chen Yi’s mind. Chen Yi looked into the depths of the shadows, and countless pairs of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at him.
Feili’s light swept across them. The dense rats, like tumors, formed a huge monster, about 3 meters tall, its body mixed with the broken limbs of various animals and insects.
It wasn’t strong, but it looked extremely disgusting and nauseating.
“Beep, Level 2 small monster.”
“Zzz.”
A Splitting Ray shot out from Feili’s body. In an instant, the monster exploded, and dark green blood spurted everywhere.
Feili used a shield to block the disgusting liquid. Chen Yi tapped in the air, uploading this to the HUT Defense Force.
Then, Chen Yi didn’t think much of it and went home.
All of this meant that something strange was happening in Xingyun City. Not only Xingyun City, but other cities were also starting to discover these insect eggs.
However, people didn’t take it seriously. After all, their location was very hidden, and they seemed to be developing slowly…
“Beep, 7:31 AM, Xingyun City.”
Chen Yi was in a field of ruins, experiencing the HUT’s newly released protective barrier, “Kaina.”
Originally, this device only enveloped a certain area. After improvements, it can form a huge blue space.
This type of space does not belong to the real space; it is similar to Wormhole Space. When a battle occurs, it can be activated to pull the opponent into its blue-orange space to prevent others from being affected by the battle.
Chen Yi transformed into Leo, closing his eyes and sensing the changes in his body. The “Kaina” device gave Chen Yi inspiration; “Kaina” was like Noah’s Meta Field.
Because of the Reverse Spark’s effect, he could possess near-infinite energy; creating a field was only a matter of time. Once his spiritual energy and light particles reach the limit, he can directly open a field that belongs to him.
Shortly after, Chen Yi had already arrived at Xingyun City No. 1 High School. Today was the final batch of competitions. The previous opponents were ordinary and no match for the three of them.
The three prodigies who emerged from nowhere seemed to have already attracted the attention of students and parents nationwide.
“Hey, is that true?”
“Hit me!”
The students of Xingyun City watched Chen Yi and the other two win one match after another, unexpectedly breaking into the final!
The current National Mecha Simulation Competition only had four cities left. Haicheng, which was originally very strong, was actually eliminated.
Replaced by an unheard-of small city?
“Hello everyone, I am Artificial Intelligence Zhizi.”
“Now I will explain the number of remaining players in the final four cities.”
“Beep, Jingming City remaining five people: Ye Wusheng, Liu Yu, Zhou Yi…”
“Beep, Dongcheng remaining three people: Shang Qing, Yue Zhengchun, Li Wei.”
“Beep, West City, remaining three people: Gu Xixi, Gu Yu, Qin Xinxin.”
“Beep, Xingyun City, remaining three people: Chen Yi, Zhou Chuyi, Gu Le…”
“Now for the draw.”
“Beep, Dongcheng vs. Jingming City, West City vs. Tianxing City.”
Chen Yi looked at the list and subconsciously looked at the two girls beside him. It turned out the final was between your own people.
Gu Xixi and Gu Yu are Gu Le’s older and second older sisters.
Zhou Chuyi’s older sister, Zhou Yi, is ranked third on the Galaxy Ranking.
And the next opponents are Gu Le’s two older sisters, who are ranked 7th and 8th on the Galaxy Ranking.
The people of Xingyun City sighed when they saw the three prodigies from West City, hoping they could still create a miracle.
After all, the stronger they were, the higher Xingyun City’s reputation would be, and the more national resources would be tilted towards them.
“Who’s going first?”
Chen Yi glanced at the two girls. This competition uses a Defend the Ring format, meaning if the previous person doesn’t lose, they can continue challenging the next person.
“I’ll go first.”
Gu Le’s expression was calm, her face showing no emotion. She understood her sisters well.
She glanced at Chen Yi. Chen Yi’s piloting technique was the strongest among them; leaving him for last as a trump card was the best option.
But Chen Yi’s fighting spirit was already burning. He suppressed his excitement and didn’t rush to be first.
Chen Yi didn’t know much about the people from West City. The virtual network is a platform for geniuses; he dared not underestimate anyone.
He maintained his humility towards battle.
“Okay.”
Zhou Chuyi nodded and gave Gu Le an encouraging look. Making it this far was already unexpected. They just needed to do their best and leave no regrets.
In an instant, a blue light appeared beside Gu Le, taking her into the virtual space.
When Gu Le opened her eyes again, she saw a projection of her SS+ mecha, the “Fire Phoenix”.
“Yo, Little Lele, you’re so cute.”
On the platform not far away, a cool-looking older sister was smiling at Gu Le.
West City chose Gu Le’s second older sister, Gu Yu, to be the first to fight.
“Don’t hold back.”
Gu Le pressed the switch without expression. The next second, Gu Le appeared in a field of broken ruins.
“Same as always.”
Gu Yu rubbed her forehead. She looked at the little boy in front of her with some relief. She knew her younger sister seemed to have grown up, but that deadpan face hadn’t changed at all.
She absolutely had to bully her! That was Gu Yu’s inner thought.
“Beep, Simulation start!”
