Yu Sen controlled the mech, avoiding the meteorites while aiming at the stagnant meteorite belt that was only a kilometer away from him.
He didn't want to get close. This young man named Guardian was too strange. If he could defeat him from a distance, there was no need to take the risk of getting close.
A kilometer distance, for their country's newly developed and improved antimatter cannon, was negligible. Plus, there was a super high performance auxiliary computing system, as long as …
Yu Sen's eyes suddenly froze.
He moved closer to the aiming device and saw that the stagnant meteorite belt … was empty. Nothing?
When this thought appeared, his mech system suddenly issued a sharp warning!
"Warning! Warning! An unknown object is attached to the mech, immediately activating the body scanning system! According to its characteristics, the unknown object is 99.9% similar to the competitor in this competition, Guardian! "
"Warning! Warning! The enemy is destroying the mech! The basic defense system has been activated … the basic defense system has been broken. According to the enemy's speed, the highest level of defense has been automatically activated … "
Yu Sen was already stunned. He stared blankly at the screen in front of him. He had never been so confused before.
The young man who was supposed to be a kilometer away appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye and broke through the mech's basic defense system.
However, the system was still broadcasting when the basic defense system was broken by a punch, forcing the system to activate the highest level of defense. In the end …
Yu Sen stared blankly at the screen, at the Silver Light that he was most proud of, at the highest level protective barrier that could even withstand the bombardment of plasma cannons. Just like that, it silently shattered under the young man's fist, turning into specks of light that disappeared into the universe.
Then, the young man threw another punch.
Obviously, in the universe where sound couldn't be transmitted, Yu Sen seemed to hear a huge roar exploding in his ears.
That fist, compared to the mech that was more than ten meters tall, was ridiculously small. But in front of his eyes, it was like a mountain pressing down on him, creating an unparalleled pressure on him.
There was no time for him to react. The moment the last punch landed, his vision turned black and he completely lost consciousness …
All the spectators, no matter how excited they were, suddenly quieted down at this moment.
Because … it was too fast!
Was there even three seconds?
What the hell happened? Why did Yu Sen's mech suddenly explode? Was it the Guardian's doing?
The audience was dumbfounded. They couldn't see clearly what had just happened.
Xu Sili also sighed.
He knew that this was definitely Si Sheng's doing, but he couldn't figure out what he had done based on the projection.
"What just happened? Does anyone understand? " The commentator was also at a loss. This was probably the most unbelievable and confusing commentary he had ever done in his career.
"Alright, the analysis footage is starting! Let's see what happened in those three seconds. "
This was a showdown between geniuses, and it was very easy for scenes to occur that the audience could not understand. At that time, the analysis camera would appear.
After all, this was a battle on the Star Network. As long as the data was adjusted, it could be broadcasted in 360 degrees without any blind spots, allowing everyone to watch the exciting moments again.
The audience discovered that the void had been divided into two regions.
In one area, a concealment device had been activated. Yu Sen's mecha was color-coded by the mainframe of the Star Web. He was currently moving at high speed, equipped with antimatter cannons.
The mecha's movements were clean and nimble, and its movements were swift. It fully displayed Yu Sen's superb mecha piloting skills. Some mecha fans couldn't help but exclaim in satisfaction.
In the other area, there was that still meteorite belt. Meteorites of all sizes surrounded the blonde youth. His dark uniform seemed to have merged with the night sky.
Everyone could see that these meteorites were all under his control. Just by looking at the image, one would think that he would use the meteorites as a shield or as a weapon to attack. However, in the next second —
The youth suddenly disappeared into thin air!
The audience couldn't help but rub their eyes. Under the watchful eyes of the audience, they were already very, very close to the youth. Under such circumstances, how could they not see his movements?
Based on the feedback, the mainframe of the Star Web began to play the image in slow motion.
Everyone watched as the screen displayed the number of times slowed down, increasing bit by bit. Yu Sen's mecha was so slow that they couldn't see it moving at all. Only then did they see the youth's movements clearly.
It turned out that he really didn't just disappear, but his speed was too fast. It had reached a level where the naked eye and even machines couldn't detect it. They could only analyze it in slow motion.
But their senses …
It wasn't slow at all.
Perhaps it was because the contrast between Yu Sen and the youth was too tragic. The youth flew right in front of him so casually, while Yu Sen was still standing in place, oblivious to it. He didn't react at all.
However, looking at the slowed down display above the projection, everyone fell silent again.
Yu Sen couldn't be blamed for this. It wasn't that he was too slow, but that the Guardian was too fast. So fast that even though it was slowed down so many times, it still felt that his movements were smooth and fast. It was simply creepy.
So, was this the world in the eyes of the big boss?
What kind of monster was this youth? Was he really a contestant under 40 years old?
Everyone in the audience, including the other contestants, couldn't help but feel this fear and doubt.
Of course, this didn't include Xu Sili.
He just looked at the image in front of him, feeling very curious. He thought that Si Sheng had used the Blink technique, but he didn't expect him to just fly over.
Was this the combat power of a LV82 top-notch expert? When he reached this level, would he be as strong as Si Sheng?
Xu Sili's heart was filled with anticipation. At the same time, when he heard the surrounding audience discuss Si Sheng in fear and admiration, he curled his lips proudly.
This is my boyfriend. Awesome, right?
After the analysis of the shot ended, the projection switched back to the normal image.
Yu Sen's mecha had exploded and was already shattered into pieces. All kinds of fragments were floating in space, moving under the influence of the magnetic field —
Who wouldn't say that the simulation was too realistic when they saw this scene?
However, when they saw the young man floating in front of the debris, they immediately held back their praise.
Even though they knew that this monster-like guy could probably survive in outer space, seeing this scene up close still made everyone feel that it was unscientific!
"Hey, why do I feel like something's missing?" The girl with the peaked cap sitting next to Xu Sili muttered softly.
Then, in the projection, a cup of … milk tea suddenly appeared in front of the youth!
The huge "Fox" logo was clearly reflected in front of everyone's eyes. Then, the youth grabbed the milk tea and slowly sipped it.
"Ah ah ah, this is the feeling!" Amidst the cries, the girl in the cap cheered, "Zaizai, what milk tea did you drink today? I want to drink it too! "
"It should be the Oolong Snow Top, right?" Someone beside her echoed.
"Okay, order now!"
Thus, Xu Sili watched as the nearby audience started to order and sipped the milk tea at the same time.
"…"
This scene was too comical!
He couldn't help but sneak a peek at the backend and found that the sales of the Oolong Snow Top had suddenly skyrocketed. The sales of the other milk teas were also faster than usual.
This wave of advertising was too worth it!
After the youth in the projection took a few sips of milk tea, he opened the order interface again. Under everyone's gaze, a pack of snacks with the Fox logo appeared in front of him.
He grabbed it with one hand and used his teeth to bite open the seal. Then, he started to eat as if there was no one around.
For the youth, there was indeed no one around, but … there were at least ten billion people watching the competition in the entire Interstellar!
How could you have the nerve to make a food broadcast in such a serious and formal situation?
And you're eating so happily!
What are those red strips of snacks? Is it a new product from the Fox? Is it really that delicious?
Then, the surrounding audience started to look through the Fox's Star Web store again. Soon, they found the new snack that was just released yesterday.
The Fox actually started to make other things besides milk tea!
New products should be promoted on the front page. Isn't this too low-key? But soon, when they saw that the youth in the projection was still continuing his food broadcast, they fell silent again.
Low-key? It would be weird if this was low-key!
All the merchants in the Interstellar were crying with envy, okay?
And what was the most fatal thing?
According to the rules of the competition, in a simulated map battle, unless the player was defeated or voluntarily forfeited, the Star Web mainframe would lock the map for the first 30 minutes. No one was allowed to enter or leave.
This was because someone had used this loophole to directly throw the opponent out of the map. Although he won the game, in order to deal with this special ability, the competition came up with new rules.
But why was it 30 minutes?
Because this kind of simulated map battle usually lasted for a long time. It was rare for it to end in less than half an hour. Sometimes, it would even take half a day without a result.
But the person who set the new rules would never have thought that someone could finish the battle in less than five minutes and start a food broadcast so openly!
Did he break the rules?
No, the competition was already over. What was wrong with eating?
Soon, Xu Sili's surroundings were filled with … the smell of spicy strips.
"…"
Should he be impressed by Si Sheng's marketing methods? It was really hard to find such a conscientious spokesperson.
Smelling the appetizing spicy strips and seeing how the people around him were eating so happily, Xu Sili finally couldn't hold back and ordered a pack of spicy strips from the store.
He took off the lower half of his mask and started to eat spicy strips with everyone else.
This scene was happening in almost every community's spectator stands on the Star Web. In short, it was very magical and unforgettable.
Fortunately, the guardian didn't go too far.
He finished a pack of spicy strips with milk tea and left the virtual map without saying a word. This made many people feel disappointed.
The organizers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although the competition prohibited unsponsored businesses from advertising, the contestant didn't say a word, so they couldn't say that he violated the rules.
Just like that, the competition came to an end.
From start to finish, it took less than 15 minutes, including entering the map, Yu Sen searching for the guardian's location, and the time the guardian ate after the match.
The head-on battle … only lasted three seconds.
It was so fast that it made people dumbfounded and couldn't help but admit defeat.
From that day onwards, Yu Sen carried the tragic nickname of "The Three Second Man", which meant that he was a man who only needed three seconds to defeat, becoming a nightmare that he couldn't get rid of for the rest of his life.
In addition to the match between Si Sheng and Yu Sen, there were still two more matches. Because the competition took a long time, there were at most three matches scheduled in a day.
Because the first match was too fast, the organizers couldn't keep up with the schedule, so they had to announce a half-hour break and start projecting advertisements.
Boos sounded from the spectator stands.
They had only watched the first match for less than five minutes, then watched the food broadcast for nearly ten minutes. Now, they had to play advertisements for half an hour. Was this considered cutting the competition in the middle of advertisements?
The tickets they bought were very expensive!
Later, seeing that they couldn't suppress the audience, the organizers quickly removed the advertisements and replaced them with a replay of the first match. This barely calmed the audience's anger.
Xu Sili thought it was fun to watch. He ate and drank while chatting with the girl next to him about alien planets and collecting information.
While chatting, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit cold. He turned his head and saw a young man in casual clothes. He didn't know when, but he appeared on the walkway next to him.
That person wore a green fox mask, light blonde hair, and gray-blue eyes. His characteristics were too obvious. Even if he changed his clothes, Xu Sili couldn't mistake him.
Looking at his cold eyes, Xu Sili paused for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he looked at the girl in the cap.
"This is my spot."
There was a double meaning in his words. There was a hint of jealousy in his cold tone.
The girl didn't recognize him at all. She quickly packed up her things and got up. After apologizing, she looked at Xu Sili.
"Hey, Red Fox, I feel that we hit it off quite well. Let's keep in touch in the future!"
Under the young man's faint gaze, Xu Sili twitched the corner of his mouth and waved goodbye to her.
The girl only booked tickets for the Guardian match. She had to leave after the match.
After her figure disappeared in front of him, Xu Sili looked at Si Sheng.
In order to avoid trouble, he still changed his appearance before appearing. Now, he looked 18 or 19 years old again. He even changed the color of his fox mask.
He sat down next to Xu Sili.
"You added each other as friends?" He asked casually, but in fact, he was a bit jealous.
Xu Sili touched his nose.
"I want to know more about the outside world …"
Si Sheng looked at him sideways. For some reason, his cold eyes suddenly became gentle.
"Yes."
He responded, then raised his hand and reached out.
Xu Sili didn't move. He watched as Si Sheng used his thumb to wipe his lips. Then, he retracted his thumb and licked it gently with the tip of his tongue.
"Spicy strip flavored," he said with a smile.
Xu Sili rolled his eyes at him, but soon he couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, spicy strip flavored."
He leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the lips. He smiled gently. "You too."
They acted as if no one was around. Although the surrounding audience felt as if they had been fed spicy strip flavored dog food, this kind of behavior was already very restrained.
Because the Star Web system was not censored, it meant that it was still within the permitted range. So, no one could say anything.
The match soon began.
The second match was very long. Just looking for an opponent took a lot of time. Xu Sili was bored and finally pulled Si Sheng back to sleep.
The next day, the two-way transmission array of the Imperial City — Lan Yue City was officially opened to the public.
