Li Yinfei's eyes couldn't help but darken when she saw the two people mesmerized by her face. However, she didn't show it on her face. She was still as gentle as ever. She smiled and said, "I really want to know how the big screen in front of us looks like and how you guys did the emergency brake. Can the two of you explain to me?"
"Okay, okay, Miss Li." The two of them walked towards the big screen in a dreamy dance. Because their attention was on Li Yinfei, they bumped into obstacles along the way. The Mairfa representative wanted to cover his face. It was really embarrassing.
The two of them didn't feel pain. They stumbled and turned their heads back as they walked towards the big screen.
"Actually, this big screen is our newest technology. Now, when humans enter the virtual world, they have to rely on the virtual login pod. But here, we don't need that big burden." When they talked about their profession, the mesmerized look in the two staff members' eyes instantly disappeared. As the topic went deeper, they gradually calmed down.
Li Yinfei and Ling Lan secretly looked at each other. They both became alert.
"You just need to touch these few spots and you can enter the virtual world." The other staff member pointed at a few spots on the big screen. His eyes were shining as he said, "Miss Li, I wonder if you're interested in giving it a try?"
"If I go in, how will my body feel?" Li Yinfei was a little tempted but she still asked cautiously. If a woman entered a world where most of the people were men, it would be too dangerous for her consciousness to enter the virtual world. Normal people wouldn't take this risk.
"Actually, you just need to sit on the chair and take a nap," the staff member quickly explained.
Li Yinfei finally understood why there was a comfortable sofa in front of those few spots. It turned out that it was prepared for this.
"Miss Li, you can give it a try. If you feel uncomfortable, just think about leaving and your consciousness will be able to leave the virtual world and directly return to your body," the staff member invited her enthusiastically.
Li Yinfei thought for a moment, then turned to Ling Lan and said, "Xiao Yang, you try it first. If it's fun, I'll give it a try."
Li Yinfei still didn't want to be the first person to eat crabs. After all, although she was Mairfa's VIP guest, Mairfa was too mysterious, and she didn't dare to take the risk.
Ling Lan's face lit up with excitement. Hearing this, she looked at the two staff members with sparkling eyes, as if asking if she could go up.
The two staff members were not surprised to see Li Yinfei cautiously asking her subordinate to try it first. Most people would treat things that they had never touched before with caution. They said without any care, "Okay, little brother, you can come here." One of the staff members patted the sofa beside him, indicating that Ling Lan should go to his side.
"Okay, thank you, big brother," Ling Lan's honest expression and sincere thanks made the staff member's smile become much more sincere.
Ling Lan lay there and reached out her right hand to touch the spot the staff member had indicated. In the next second, she felt that she had entered a virtual world.
She didn't even need a login point, and could enter and exit the virtual world at any time. The moment Ling Lan came online, she found herself on a bustling street with people coming and going. A circle of white light was emitted from her body. This was a necessary protection for new consciousnesses during the login period to prevent others from having a chance to attack her.
Ling Lan silently chanted in her heart for ten seconds, and the white light disappeared. The protection period was ten seconds, the same as the protection period in the Federation's virtual world. It seemed that no matter what method was used to enter, the ten seconds protection period was fixed.
Ling Lan didn't move. She chanted silently for another five seconds. Then, she raised her head. Her originally dim eyes instantly lit up with life.
The people around her weren't surprised by the sudden appearance of Ling Lan. They automatically avoided Ling Lan and hurried on their own way. It seemed that the people in this area were already used to a stranger suddenly appearing beside them.
"This technology isn't something that just appeared in a day or two." Ling Lan started to be wary of Mairfa. It was obvious that Mairfa was ahead of the other countries in the development of virtual worlds. Perhaps this technology was developed by Mairfa and sold to the other countries. This was probably why the other countries were wary of Mairfa's power and didn't want to provoke them.
"Little Four, are there any top hackers monitoring the surroundings?" Ling Lan had a curious expression on her face as she looked around. However, she secretly reminded Little Four to check the surroundings.
"There are more than ten people monitoring the surroundings, but they aren't strict." In the virtual world, Little Four only needed to sense slightly to know everything around him. He immediately discovered the surveillance personnel that Mairfa had set up.
"Mm, I understand." This was normal. Even the most harmless person needed to be monitored. Ling Lan had an idea. She instructed Little Four to finish what he hadn't finished last night and download the remaining information from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan. Ling Lan didn't forget to remind Little Four to be careful and not let the other party's god-level hacker find any traces of him.
To this, Little Four naturally replied arrogantly that he definitely wouldn't. One mistake was already a lifetime of humiliation for him. If he was discovered by the other party again, would he still have the face to call himself the god of the virtual world?
Very quickly, Little Four went about his business. Ling Lan began to tour the streets. She saw many people gathering in one place. Ling Lan asked a passerby curiously and found out that that was the main venue of the Mairfa mecha tournament … those who hadn't bought a ticket to enter the tournament would come to this virtual world to watch Mairfa's special live broadcast. The level of realism was definitely not much lower than the real world.
However, to enter, one still needed to buy a ticket. However, it wasn't limited like the real world. In the virtual world, the number of people it could accommodate was unlimited.
Ling Lan and the others surged into the main venue … to watch the upcoming mecha tournament.
Outside, the staff members brought up Ling Lan's image, and then explained to Li Yinfei what Mairfa's invention could bring to the virtual world. Li Yinfei nodded repeatedly as she listened, a look of amazement in her eyes. Just this look of amazement was enough to excite the surrounding staff members. They felt like they had finally performed well in front of their goddess.
On the other side, a purple light and a red light followed Li Yinfei and the others to the passageway they had been trapped in. In just a single morning, the originally damaged parts of the passageway had actually been completely wiped out and restored to its original state. This made the two of them even more wary of Mairfa. They knew very well just how thoroughly the passageway had been destroyed last night.
Seeing Li Yinfei and the others turn into the work area, they were just about to follow when a person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the passageway, smiling at them. That person was too familiar. It was the old man who had negotiated with them last night.
This was the limitation of offensive elements. Unlike elemental laws that were good at concealment and could naturally blend into the environment, no matter how much they elementalized, there would always be traces left behind, such as this faint purple and red light. It was probably this that had exposed them.
When they saw this person, they knew that they had been discovered. Just as they were about to retreat, another middle-aged man appeared at the entrance of the passageway.
The two of them felt their hearts sink. Their path of retreat was blocked! It looked like they had already prepared for this.
Yes, how could they not be on guard when a stranger was allowed in? Perhaps they were planning to use the excuse of inviting Li Yinfei to bait them out.
"My young master invites you in!" The old man blocking their path reached out his hand and made an inviting gesture.
Seeing this, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran could only stop their elementalization and slowly materialize.
"Your young master is?" Tang Ningyu raised his eyebrows and asked. Two infiltrations and two invitations. They must be using them to do something … however, this might be their chance.
"Young master said that because someone disturbed us last night, the game could not start. Now, he wants to invite the two of you to continue the game." Sure enough, it was the same group of people from last night.
Tang Ningyu looked at Mu Chaoran. Mu Chaoran shrugged, indicating that he would listen to his opinion.
Tang Ningyu steeled his heart. They could not escape anyway, so they might as well fight to the death.
The two of them followed the old man all the way to the elevator and arrived at the mecha combat arena. The old man led them to a large door, and after swiping a card at the side of the door, both sides of the door opened to reveal two valiant and majestic ace mecha.
"Young master said that as long as you enter the top three of the Mecha Grand Tournament, you will pass the game." The old man smiled as he took out two mecha keys from his pocket and handed them to Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran.
"Aren't you afraid that we will mess around with the mecha?" Tang Ningyu asked coldly.
"You can try." The old man smiled. He was not afraid at all.
"I'm afraid that this place has equipment that affects the mecha's A.I. program." Mu Chaoran looked at the center of the mecha combat arena, at the web-like object.
"As expected of someone from Long Xiang. Since you dare to start the Mecha Grand Tournament, of course, the necessary protection is here." The old man did not mind that Mairfa's equipment had been discovered.
"So, when you need it to be an ace mecha, it will be an ace mecha. When you don't want it, it can become a pile of trash that can't move at any time." Mu Chaoran's lips curled into a mocking smile.
This was the only reason why they did not mind letting them use ace mecha. No matter how strong a mecha was, it could only stop temporarily when faced with equipment designed specifically for it.
"We accept this game!" Mu Chaoran took the keys from the old man. On the other side, Tang Ningyu also took the keys.
They were meat on the chopping block. They did not have the right to refuse.
"However, we request that we cannot be in the same area before we enter the finals." Tang Ningyu added. He did not want to be maliciously arranged by the other party and fight with Mu Chaoran.
"Don't worry. Our Mairfa will not do such a despicable thing." The old man smiled as he replied.
After hearing the old man's reply, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran instantly boarded their mechas and began to familiarize themselves with them. Even though they had reached the level of an imperial mecha, they were still not familiar with their mechas. They still needed to familiarize themselves with them. Furthermore, it was not easy to enter the top three. From what they knew, even though the highest level of mecha operators participating in the tournament were ace operators, at the end of every mecha tournament, due to the cruel battles and epiphanies of life and death, a portion of ace operators who were infinitely close to becoming imperial operators would advance to become imperial operators.
Many ace operators who were stuck at the bottleneck of imperial level would also hide their identities and participate in the tournament in order to find a way to break through their limits. It really was a gathering of strong people from all walks of life, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
And these people would all be their opponents to pass!
Ling Lan sat in the arena of the mecha tournament. This made her feel as if she had returned to the first time she had entered the virtual world, watching the mecha tournament with Li Lanfeng disguised as the black-robed man. That had been her first time watching a mecha tournament. After that, she had become a mecha operator, a participant in the mecha combat arena, not a spectator.
By the time Ling Lan entered, the warm-up mecha combat had already ended. At this time, she heard the host use an inciting tone to stir up the emotions of the audience. It turned out that the first ace mecha battle had begun.
Ling Lan looked at the arena with interest. She saw a Federation standard ace mecha ascend the stage, and on the other side was a Caesar standard ace mecha. Right from the start, the ace mecha of the two strongest countries in the galaxy were going against each other. This made the audience even more excited. Their shouts were like a tsunami, rising and falling one after another as they cheered for the mecha they supported.
"Now, let's welcome Dark Flame from the Huaxia Federation against Fortis from the Caesar Empire!"
Even the mecha operators in the arena were from these two countries. The atmosphere in the arena became even more lively, as if the entire arena was about to burn up.
"Boss, do you know who Dark Flame is?" When Little Four heard that there were mecha operators from the Federation, he split some of his attention and looked up the other party's information. To his surprise, he found out that it was actually someone he knew.
"Since you asked, it must be someone I know. And the people I know in Mairfa … are only these two. It should be Mu Chaoran. "Ling Lan thought for a moment and came up with an answer.
"Uh, Boss, how did you guess?" Little Four asked gloomily.
"If I didn't know him, even if he was a mecha operator from the Federation, you wouldn't ask me. You would just tell me the answer directly." Ling Lan knew Little Four too well. "So, I definitely know this person. As for 250 Ace Mecha Clan, they are all in the military. They can't participate in the Grand Mecha Tournament, unless it's a mission …"
"However, since they already sent Long Xiang here, the Federation probably won't send any more missions to Mairfa during this period of time. They don't want to disturb Long Xiang from completing his mission. They can only choose between Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. The name Dark Flame is more suitable for the fire-type Mu Chaoran. Based on Tang Ningyu's personality, he should have a name like Purple Lightning or Bright Light. " It had to be said that although she had only been classmates with these two for a month, Ling Lan understood them quite well.
After hearing Ling Lan's explanation, Little Four could only mumble, "Yes, Dark Flame is Mu Chaoran. But, isn't Mu Chaoran here for an investigation mission? Why is he participating in the tournament? "
Ling Lan heard this and frowned slightly. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be participating.
"Maybe they have no choice." Thinking about how their spy was taken away by someone instead of being killed on the spot, Ling Lan had a thought. "Mairfa's real target is them!"
Li Yinfei was suddenly invited to visit the core office. It didn't make sense. Only this answer could explain it perfectly. Ling Lan had a realization.
