The next morning, Lando checked the game information.
The final number of applicants for the [Longma Group Bronze Level Mecha Combat Competition] is fixed at 85,391 people!
It seems that there are a lot of people, but when divided into the entire Flame Dragon Star Territory, it is only one thousand percent of them. According to the rules of the audition knockout, Lando only needs to win ten games in a row to enter the top.
64 people.
On average, there are three or four games a day.
His first battle today was in the afternoon, so there was no need to rush. After packing up, he went out to the painting club.
After arriving at the painting club, he did not see the two sisters Nalanxin and Nalankui. Lando was not in a hurry. According to the habits of these two sisters, even if they did not come in the morning, they would come at noon.
Lando began to look at the works exhibited by the painting club with peace of mind. Although he had seen them many times, every time he saw them, he would gain new insights.
The time unknowingly approached noon, and Lando, who was immersed in the transformation, moved his ears slightly and heard a familiar voice.
Turning around, I saw two sisters, Nalanxin and Nalankui, walking towards them talking and laughing.
"Senior!" Lando stepped forward and greeted.
"Hey, isn't this our busy man...little brother Lando?!" Nalankui said in a strange voice with side eyes.
Nalanxin was still gentle and asked: "Junior Lando, have you finished your work?"
Lando had long been accustomed to Nalan Kui's teasing, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is finally completed. Although there are some twists and turns, the result is quite satisfying."
After a moment of greetings, Lando asked straight to the point: "Two seniors, I wonder when we will leave for the escort mission we agreed on before?"
Nalanxin smiled and said: "Mr. Edvard Munch is one of the partners of our painting club. His private art exhibition in Lapu Star will be held in about twelve days. Three days later, Edvard Munch
Sir’s spaceship will pass by Yanlong Planet, and when the time comes, we can just get on the ship and follow him.”
"There are a lot of works of art on the ship, and our mission is to deliver them safely to Lapu Star. Of course, that said, the route is actually very safe, and the spacecraft also has its own escort. We just need to follow it. In fact, it's not
There’s so much to be responsible for.”
Three days later? The audition elimination round has just ended!
For the main game, you don’t need to waste too much time, and this mission sounds like some kind of welfare, and it should be very relaxed. There is no need to worry about the conflict between the mission and the game.
Thinking about it in his mind, Lando said: "That's great, I can't wait to appreciate the paintings by those famous artists!"
Nalanxin nodded and said with a smile: "In addition to the three of us, there are seven other members of the painting club on this mission. Brother Lando, are you free in the evening? Let's all go get together so that we can introduce you to each other."
"
"This..." Lando quickly skipped the game time he had arranged for today in his mind, focusing on the afternoon, so he nodded and said: "It happens to be fine, just listen to my senior sister's arrangements."
In fact, Lando has rarely socialized since entering Yanlong University. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he doesn’t feel the need!
According to Lando's self-awareness, it only takes three or four years at most for him to raise his consciousness awareness to the critical point of 25%, preparing for promotion to the 'immortality' realm.
At this time, if it were people like Teacher Ruan Honglian, Tu Tianzi, and Sister Nalan, it would be just passive communication.
But if he is allowed to take the initiative to make friends with classmates and develop connections, in Lando's opinion, it will be a waste of his precious time.
However, the reason why Lando did not reject Nalanxin's proposal this time was because he did not want to disobey the other party's good intentions. He could clearly feel that whether it was taking him to do tasks or introducing more members to him, Nalan and the two
The sisters have good intentions.
The second is when it comes to one's own performance. In many cases, he cannot just follow this path just because he knows the optimal solution. He can be proud of his talent, but he can also be a good person. He is now from Yanlong University, where he comes from the ancestral planet and has some talents.
Student Lando, not Grand Arcanist Lando!
Lando still has a long way to go in the dimensional universe, and no unnecessary holes should be left!
Although the two Nalan sisters were unaware of Lando's change in thinking, they were very happy that the latter could attend the party.
After agreeing on a time, Lando returned to the dormitory directly on the pretext of going back to rest.
Enter [Machine War World] and receive prompts directly from Zhi Nao.
"Dear Mecha Emperor, there are still one hour and thirty-five minutes left before your battle match. Please prepare in advance. If you need to postpone the match, please apply one hour in advance. If you do not enter the arena five minutes after the start of the match, you will be forfeited. I wish you the best.
Have fun fighting!"
Lando's private space is the arena at the beginning. He can watch the projection directly here, or he can go to the virtual venue of the "Longma Group Bronze-level Mecha Combat Competition" to watch.
Pulling up the battle screen, Lando watched it casually for a while. His abilities were basically mediocre, and few of them caught his eye.
Time passed and it soon came to Lando's battle time.
Under Zhinao's prompts, Lando directly chose to battle and teleport.
The opponent's strength was average, and their record was even more disastrous. In Lando's opinion, they were not even as good as the three people they met in the promotion round.
After easily solving the problem with three punches and two kicks, Lando returned to his private space and waited for the next game.
Until the evening, after he finished his three games today, he took a look at the number of remaining players...
19685!
More than 60,000 people were eliminated in less than one day, and today's audition elimination round is not over yet.
Only in the virtual world can such efficiency be achieved. If such a competition were held in reality, I don’t know how much time it would take just to conduct the audition elimination round!
After tidying up a little, Lando deliberately set off a little early for the painting club.
When he arrived, he saw the two Nalan sisters already waiting here.
"Am I late?" Lando stepped forward and asked doubtfully.
Nalanxin shook her head and said, "No, you came very early."
Nalankui also echoed: "Because this party is organized by us, of course we have to arrive early!"
Lando nodded slightly.
As time went by, people came one after another. Basically, Lando was just familiar with him, and most of them could not even be called by their names.
With the help of Nalan sisters, we all got to know each other one by one.
When the appointed time approached, the ninth person came.
"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 a little bit!"
"Haha, come a little closer, that means you're not late!" A young man named Ava said with a smile.
Nalanxin introduced Lando: "This is Ava Lynch. Ava, this is Lando. You should also recognize him."
Nalankui added: "Don't look at Ava like this, he is actually very powerful!"
Ava Lynch shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, what do you mean, don't look at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?!"
Lando smiled and greeted: "Senior Ava."
Ava looked at Lando and said, "Tsk, tsk, junior Lando, you are a legend in my circle. I have wanted to get to know you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. We must get closer and closer in the future."
I didn't feel any malice or ridicule, this was... familiar?
Lando's smile remained unchanged and said: "Okay, I'll ask Senior Ava to take care of you from now on."
Ava laughed and said, "It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"
Seeing that the two of them had finished their greetings, Nalan Kui asked: "Where is your good friend Terry? Isn't he with you?"
Ava shrugged and said, "No need to wait for that boy Terry, he will come later."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Ava explained: "The two of us participated in a competition called the [Longma Group Bronze Mecha Combat Competition] in the [Mecha World]. It was organized by the Longma Group. The championship prize is very attractive!"
"Tali is unlucky. Today's last knockout match is scheduled for the evening, so he will come later."
Oh ho, we actually met a colleague?
Lando looked at Ava with an interesting expression.
Before Nalanxin could speak, Nalankui said dissatisfiedly: "What are you two doing? We are about to go on an escort mission, and you are distracted to do other things?"
Although everyone knows that this escort mission is just a formality, it shouldn't be too perfunctory.
"Don't worry! Don't worry!" Ava quickly 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 will just give up!"
Nalankui groaned and wanted to say something, but Nalanxin said warmly: "Okay, Xiaokui, it's not a big deal."
"Longma Group is the famous mecha module manufacturing group?"
The latter sentence is a question to Ava, but it also changes the subject.
Ava said nonchalantly: "Yes, the championship reward this time is a specially customized high-level mecha module, which is quite rare."
It can be seen that except for Lando, the few people who came are relatively familiar, and this small episode passed quickly.
The gathering of several people did not go beyond Lando's expectations. They found a high-end restaurant and everyone ate and chatted together.
During this period, a young man named Terry also came in a hurry, and everyone naturally laughed again.
Lando also fit into it naturally.
On the second day of the audition knockout round, Lando played three more games, and the remaining number of contestants became 1,325.
On the third day, Lando played four games. The overall strength of his opponents improved a lot, but he still won easily.
When Lando locked in 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 had no interest in watching and directly quit [World of Machine Warfare].
Looking at the sunset outside the window, Lando stretched out and began to pack his things.
The most important thing is of course to wear a virtual helmet.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the agreed time, and no one was late this time.
After renting the school's autonomous cruise vehicle, a group of ten people set off directly to Yanlong Star's only airport.
After leaving Yanlong University, the bustle of the peripheral university town caught Lando's attention.
Speaking of which, after coming to Yanlong University for so long, he has never been to the university town, let alone outside the university town.
Seeing Lando staring out the window in a daze, Ava came over with a smile and said: "Why, junior Lando, haven't you been to the university town?"
Lando shrugged helplessly and said: "I have been busy with various things since I came to Yanlong University. So far, I haven't even had time to rest."
At this time, Terry also came over with a surprised look on his face and said, "I didn't expect Junior Lando to be so diligent!"
Then he changed into a mean expression and said: "Hey, when you come back from this escort mission, let me take you to the university town to have fun! I'll give you a lot of experience!"
Ava chuckled and said, "That's right!"
"Hey! What are you talking about? You are so happy, it makes me happy to say it!"
The two sisters Nalanxin and Nalankui also came closer. Nalankui stared at Ava and Terry and asked with an unkind expression.
Ava and Terry trembled slightly, and laughed a little timidly. In their eyes, if Nalanxin is a gentle elder sister, then Nalankui is a complete little witch who cannot be offended!
Terry smiled awkwardly and said: "Nothing, we were talking... um, about this escort mission!"
"Ah, yes, yes!" Ava also echoed.
Nalankui glanced sideways at the two of them and said disdainfully: "Our escort mission this time will not bring you as much experience as you did in the university town! You two, don't lead Junior Landuo astray!"
While chatting, the autonomous cruise car quickly drove out of the university town.
The external environment shook Lando's consciousness slightly, and he keenly felt that something had changed.
Recalling what Ruan Honglian once mentioned, there are no dangerous dimensional beings in the entire dimensional world covered by Yanlong University. Perhaps the changes he sensed are related to this.
However, Lando is not ready to test the shadow dimension of the outside world now. This matter can wait until the escort mission is over.
At that time, you can also ask Teacher Ruan Honglian to see if there is anything you need to pay attention to when exploring the shadow dimension in the outside world.
After writing this down, Lando naturally joined everyone in the chat.
Soon, everyone arrived at the airport.
After explaining their purpose, the airport staff took them to a waiting room.
Everyone didn't have to wait long before the small transport ship that came to pick them up arrived.
There were only two people on the ship. After confirming the identities of Lando and his party, they started the spacecraft and flew away from Yanlong Planet.
After entering outer space, the small transport ship flew straight towards a huge transport ship that was 500 meters long, 300 meters wide and 300 meters high, and was stationed 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 was already waiting for them.
The leader was a middle-aged woman with a tall build, short hair and a military look.
After Nalanxin shook hands with the middle-aged woman in front, she introduced: "This is Ms. Osana Carioca, the escort captain of this transport ship. We need to obey Ms. Osana in the following time.
command."
Lando and the others nodded slightly, and no one had any objections.
