No matter how the others discussed the match, Silin and the others did not care. As usual, they continued to do their own things after the match was over.
The moment the match was over, Lung immediately called Silin and Knight's communicator. Judging from his high-pitched voice and two eyebrows that were about to fly off, he must have gained a lot this time.
The truth was as such. Lung was so happy that his mouth was cramping.
The odds of the previous few bets weren't high, and he didn't earn much money. But this time, Lung bet that Shadow X would win in one minute, and the opponent wouldn't fire a single shot. The odds were very high, and Lung bet all four of their money on it. After the match was over, Lung's mouth couldn't close even once when he saw the amount on his card. This was also why Silin chose to win in such a way.
After the match was over, the Sector Championship forum was filled with posts related to the match. The news of Pride winning the mech battle and entering the quarterfinals was directly trampled down to the ground.
There were praises and criticisms. But there was one point that resonated with everyone, and that was — the match ended too quickly. It was less than a minute from the start of the system's announcement to the end of the match, and within this one minute, both sides had actually fought for less than five seconds. What kind of concept was five seconds? Some people just turned their heads away and chatted for a bit, and when the screen cut back to them, they discovered that the match was over.
I shouldn't have!
There was a deep depression that felt like the match was over the second they closed their eyes and opened them again.
Although they could watch a recording, watching a live broadcast and a recorded broadcast were two completely different moods. They had completely lost that kind of nervous and excited feeling. Therefore, after this match, everyone came to a conclusion, and that was to never slip away when watching Shadow X's gladiator fights in the future. Even a second could mean missing out on an exciting killing blow.
Following Shadow X's performance in this match, some analytics-loving people began to analyze Shadow X's strength and his personality in real life from many aspects. But they still couldn't come up with a conclusion. There was just too little information about Shadow X.
It was because of this that some people began to offer a high bounty for the truth about Shadow X.
The moment this bounty was announced, the people of Seven Lights were in an uproar.
In reality, before the other people of Seven Lights were officially in an uproar, less than two seconds after the bounty was announced, Silin's communicator rang.
"Silin, don't ruin your future for a little bit of money!!"
As soon as he connected, he heard Lung howling at the top of his lungs. Silin pulled the communicator away a little and looked at the seven-digit bounty on the forum. You call this a little bit of money?
Without waiting for Silin to say anything, Lung's lips moved non-stop, carrying out a long-term analysis and macroscopic explanation to Silin. In conclusion, if he were to reveal his identity now, it would be disadvantageous to the bet.
Silin picked his ear. "Got it. I'm not planning to stand out right now."
"That's good." Lung heaved a sigh of relief. "I'll go and study the situation of the next bet. You can continue working. Beep —"
Silin looked at the disconnected communicator and curled his lips. This bastard! He put the communicator aside and began to assemble the parts on the desk.
Silin had modified the study a little, turning it into a dual-use study and workshop. He had to fight in the Sector Championship, but he also had to complete the mission that Sir Mo had assigned to him. Otherwise, with Sir Mo's awkward temperament, he would definitely feel that he was being neglected. If that happened, then Cillin could forget about participating in the Sector Championship.
While he was assembling the parts, the dormitory's doorbell rang.
Normally speaking, the doorbell of Silin's dormitory would never ring. There had been no visitors until now. Even if there were, they would bring them in personally. For example, Sird and Hard. After that mission, Knight had brought them to the dormitory for a drink. As for Pride, unless you personally invite him, that fellow will not deign to pay you a visit.
After the doorbell rang a few times, Knight turned on the dormitory's intercom and said from upstairs, "Silin, I'm about to challenge that brat Pride to a mech fight right now!"
Knight meant that he was busy and did not have the heart to open the door. The more subtle meaning was that if you are busy too, please ignore it.
Silin did not stop what he was doing immediately. He had the security system turn on the screen to show who the visitor was. When Silin saw the person on the screen, he smiled slightly. He's here so soon. That's fine too. Saves you guys the trouble of guessing blindly.
The people of Seven Lights had always been extremely curious about Shadow X's identity. To think that such an expert was hiding in their school!
The bounty aside, right now Shadow X was the most mysterious and highly watched person on the Sector Championship platform. If they could find out Shadow X's true identity and reveal it himself, then their fame would rise greatly as well.
To find out Shadow X's true identity and hack into the Sector Championship platform's system? Unlikely. The Sector Championship platform's system was jointly built by the professionals of Sector B and Sector C. Its defenses were incredibly strong.
If hacking didn't work, then what about connections? Some people who relied on their good background tried to establish a connection with the Sector Championship platform's maintainers, but they could not come to a conclusion. Although the Sector Championship platform's maintainers could not publicly reveal a student's information, they could still investigate it. However, they discovered that Shadow X's information was protected by many layers of additional protection, and those complicated procedures were very difficult to decode.
Since neither of these two methods worked, then the most direct way was to look for Knight.
Moreover, Knight was the kind of person who dared to flip a table and pull out a gun even in front of Seven Lights' headmaster. Moreover, he had a very deep military background. Everyone knew this, so even though they were very curious about Shadow X's identity, not many people dared to ask Knight directly.
Although they dared not provoke Knight, there was one thing that many people knew, and that was the four most awesome people in Seven Lights Dormitory. Beating around the bush should work, right?
No one dared to provoke Knight, and Ci Jincheng was not on Planet Seven Lights. Ask Andriera Lung? No, they would be fooled until they couldn't even tell their feet from their head. If that was the case, then they could only look for Douance Silin. The first person to inquire about Shadow X was none other than Allen, his family's electronic magazine owner.
Allen had already guessed Shadow X's identity from the moment Shadow X entered the Sector Championship platform's top three in just three days, but he never came to a conclusion. Later, when Shadow X teamed up with Knight to participate in the double combat tournament, Allen once again began to suspect the possibility of Silin being Shadow X.
Silin led Allen through the door, but did not let Allen sit in the living room. Instead, he brought him to his own study.
"Silin, the Boston ivy outside your dormitory is growing really well. It's just as the rumors say." Allen chose a starting topic.
"It's just a coincidence." Silin passed a cup to Allen, "There are fruit juice, milk, beer, tea and so on in the water dispenser. Pour whatever you want, don't be shy."
"Okay." Allen looked at Silin's study while he was collecting the fruit juice from the water dispenser. There weren't a lot of books, and parts were piled on the table. The other places in the study were also filled with sorted parts. Seeing that Silin had sat down beside the table and was assembling the parts again, Allen felt a little embarrassed, as if he had disturbed Silin's work.
"About that … I'm sorry to have disturbed you."
"It's fine. I can talk when I'm assembling parts." Silin turned his head and said to Allen. His hands were still moving quickly, proving that he was not lying.
Allen admired Silin. He knew who Silin's current instructor was, and he must have genuine talent to be able to follow Professor Mo. However, when he saw Silin assembling the parts with his own eyes, Allen had a different feeling. He truly felt as if he was looking at an elegant piece of art.
Silin's hands were moving very quickly and precisely. The parts could be seen jumping between his fingers, and he was assembling them in the next moment. As he watched, Allen began to get lost in thought, as if he had been sucked into the whirlpool formed by Silin's fast hands and those parts. Although he was still watching Silin's hands assembling the parts, Allen's eyes had already begun to lose focus.
Allen would never have thought that he would be unknowingly hypnotized just by watching Silin's assembling movements!
