"Yeah!! I must give that guy a good beating in the preliminary round!"
Reina was cursing and punching and kicking the sandbags.
"It's not certain whether we can meet him in the preliminary round. The venue hasn't announced the preliminary round matchup chart yet. I just hope I don't meet player No. 328." Lilan said, taking off her big protective glasses.
"If I meet him, I will definitely avenge my uncle!" Reina said angrily.
At this time, the Demon King was sitting silently in front of the workbench, stroking his chin and thinking.
Although his main purpose for asking Reina to participate in the competition is to let her get used to fighting and accumulate combat experience. But now he has encountered some very interesting things, magic technology, and now he wants to let Reina win this competition with her own magic technology. After all,
This is not easy and somewhat challenging.
What the devil likes most is a challenge.
He looked at the ball on the table with exposed wires. This magical machine was an invention he had never seen before and had never imagined. The creator must be a genius.
However, this technology tree has a huge flaw, that is, it is too complex and has a high failure rate. The more powerful the function you want, you have to make it bigger, more complex, and assemble more parts. But then the failure rate will be higher.
The higher the value, the lower the flexibility.
The biggest problem with magical machinery is adaptability, which is equivalent to the reaction of living things to the outside world. We living creatures themselves don’t know why they can understand what they see and then react accordingly. Therefore, we must give lifeless people
It is obviously impossible to achieve this ability with steel.
Therefore, what magic technology can currently do is to set conditional responses, which means that after certain conditions are met, the magic machine will perform pre-set actions.
But the actual situation is very complex, and there is no way to set all the conditions.
At this time, the devil suddenly remembered some magic.
The magic spell summons creatures that are between living things and ectoplasm. They have the same instincts and intelligence as living things, but without the physical body of living things, they will quickly disappear in the real world.
This is a kind of magic used by a race called the Creator. However, this species suddenly disappeared in the long history long ago, and this magic was also lost.
However, a certain demon king in later generations who happened to be relatively free inadvertently found their ruins and successfully reproduced their magic by studying their ancient documents.
Yes, this idle devil is Richard, a devil who has excavated most of the ruins around the world, and he is the first one.
"Hey? Master, what is this? It's so beautiful!"
Just when the Demon King secretly took out a pink crystal from his pocket, Reina knocked it and walked over to see it.
The finger-sized crystal immediately caught Lilan's attention.
"This is the ether crystal, which is the sixth substance." The Demon King replied. Looking at Reina's big, twinkling eyes, the Demon King could guess that she definitely wanted this crystal without even thinking about it.
Then I definitely wouldn't give it to her. It's useless to her, and it's so valuable that even the Demon King doesn't have much.
"I said before that things transformed by magic will one day turn back into magic and disappear, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
Reina nodded. After learning the magic of qualitative transformation, the first thing she wanted to do was use magic to conjure all kinds of delicious things and then have a big meal.
Of course, with her unremitting efforts, she made the most delicious buns she had ever tasted. But when she was about to eat it, she was stopped by the chef and scolded for an hour.
Things transformed by magic cannot be eaten. This is something Reina has deeply remembered. That is because the body does not know that they are magic and will turn it into a part of the body. When the substances transformed by magic disappear,
Cause irreparable damage to the body.
"But this world loves to joke, and there are exceptions to the law I mentioned. When magical things are around the ether crystal, they will never disappear." The Demon King's eyes suddenly became sharp,
This also means that the common sense they know may be broken at any time, and there are still many unknown things in this world.
"Oh! Can you eat it then?" Reina blinked and said excitedly.
"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! Do you know how powerful this is! Really!" The devil cursed, this useless apprentice is really, give her a wishing pot, she may really only use it
Make tea.
"That sounds pretty powerful. What do you plan to use it for?"
Li Lan also became interested.
The Demon King smiled slightly, and without saying a word, in front of the two of them, he placed it in the round ball called the magic kung fu ball, embedded it in a small box, and then he pushed it into the round ball.
"It's done! My first masterpiece! Magic Kung Fu Super Ball!" the Demon King said excitedly.
The corner of Lilan's mouth twitched, thinking what the hell is this name, but she was also curious about the use of this thing. It was round, with no arms, legs or eyes, just a ball, and there were some lines on it, as if it was pieced together.
.
"Then what is the function of your magic machine? Can you tell me about it?"
Li Lan asked curiously.
"No, it's a secret. You'll find out when you get to the preliminary round."
The Demon King smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"All right."
Li Lan sighed, pushed up the stool, and continued working.
"Master! You can tell me secretly!"
However, Reina whispered in the Demon King's ear.
Poof!
The devil's iron fist still accurately hit her on the head.
"You've had enough rest! Why don't you go train yet!!"
"Hey? Yes~"
Reina held her head and ran away reluctantly.
At this moment, Mike, who was lying on the hospital bed reading a magazine with his legs hanging up, suddenly heard a sound. His injury was better, and he wanted to breathe without being disturbed, so he moved near the door.
At this moment, the door of the martial arts hall opened slightly, and a man in his fifties quietly looked in. Mike's eyes accidentally collided with the other man's, and the two looked at each other awkwardly...
After half a moment, the other party closed the door awkwardly and left quietly.
"Who is that guy?"
Mike was left stunned.
…
Three days later, the preliminary competition list came out. The contestants gathered together that day and it was very lively.
All are unfamiliar faces.
"I'm coming three days later! My opponent is, eh?? Blue Wind All-Terrain Land Machinery Research Association? What a strange name!" Reina said in shock, she had never heard of such a name.
"That's the name of the other party's chamber of commerce. We don't belong to the chamber of commerce, so we can only fill in your name." At this time, Li Lan said.
"Hey?!" Reina was shocked. She took another look and found that she was the only one whose name was written on it.
"This is also an advertising opportunity. Even an individual contestant like me will find an investor in the preliminary round, put their name on it, and get a good amount of advertising funds." At this time, Mike, who was leaning on crutches, said
.
"Hey!! Then why don't we have anyone investing?" Reina said puzzled.
"Yes, but I refused. What we want to promote is a mecha that allows ordinary people to use martial arts, so we can't use other people's names." Li Lan said with a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect that you actually entered the preliminary round, but I regret to tell you that you will not pass the preliminary round."
Just then, an annoying voice came from next door to them.
The four of them looked sideways.
"It's this guy again!"
Reina glared at Zheng Yan who was walking towards the crowd and said.
"Hmph! I don't want to see you either, you are a bunch of poor people." Zheng Yan spread his hands in disdain, expressing his helplessness.
Li Lan ignored the other party. She looked up and saw that, sure enough, if she won the first game, she would probably meet Zheng Yan in the next game, but this was also under the condition that he won.
"Hmph, the preliminary rounds are different from the auditions. This is all about Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, and nothing rotten. That means your shit luck has come to an end. Poor guys, just wait to be taught a lesson by reality! Hahaha!"
