There was a huge screen in the sky above the disc-shaped building, showing the major events in the Eastern Continent's mechanic circle in the past year. It was a spectacular sight.
The headlines of the past two days were all pictures of the venue building, attracting many people to watch.
"Wow … Mechanics are still the richest!"
Lu Xiong looked at the venue building, his mouth wide open in shock.
This venue building wasn't something that had existed before. It was built by the Sea-Ao Empire's Mechanic Organization this month.
It was completed in less than a month. This was too shocking …
Hayashi River looked at the floating venue. It didn't shake much. There were many buildings like this in the Mechanical Hive.
"This floating venue will become a landmark of Nanluo City in the future …" Lu Xiong murmured.
Hayashi River glanced at his best friend and said, "This venue will be demolished after the Mechanic Competition ends."
Lu Xiong was tongue-tied. His expression was that of poverty limiting his imagination. It was such a waste to spend a month to build such a venue and then demolish it after the competition.
"The energy used to maintain the floating venue for half a month is enough to cover half the cost of maintaining the venue," Hayashi River explained.
The cost of building this kind of floating venue wasn't high. The real cost was the energy supply.
In the Mechanical Hive, the workshop's profits were astonishing. Naturally, they didn't care about the energy supply.
However, for Nanluo City, maintaining such a floating building was a huge burden.
"Ah Chuan, if I can't make a living in the future, I'll follow you …" Lu Xiong showed a flattering smile again.
"You should focus on being an elite of the military, this promising career …" Hayashi River said.
As they chatted, the hover car rose and drove into the venue in the air.
The two got out of the car and entered the venue through a special passage with Hayashi River's pass.
The venue was divided into three areas: the exhibition area, the competition area, and the trading area.
The Mechanic Competition was an annual event in the Eastern Continent. Naturally, it wasn't just a simple competition.
For the host city and country, it was also a gathering for exchange and trading.
Hayashi River and Lu Xiong wandered around the exhibition area. The former introduced some Heart Elemental Equipment to Lu Xiong and broadened his horizons.
This was because Hayashi River discovered that Lu Xiong relied too much on his own strength. This was a common problem after awakening the beast race bloodline.
Activating the Beast Race's bloodline and activating their special abilities would bring about a surge in their strength, giving them the confidence to be invincible.
This kind of illusion was very fatal.
In Mossy Bone's ancient era, the technology of Heart Essence Equipment wasn't that developed. For creatures with natural endowments, one's own strength was more important.
But now, in the evaluation of a person's martial strength, the proportion of Heart Origin Equipment was getting higher and higher.
Lu Xiong, who was the descendant of a gifted creature, needed a special Heart Essence Equipment to be able to display the limit of his power.
Hayashi River wanted to instill such a concept in them.
Lu Xiong listened attentively. During Mr. Bone's teaching, he was also instilling such a concept in him. Unknowingly, his thoughts were gradually changing.
At this moment, a woman wearing a white tunic dress walked over. Her tall figure and long, snow-white legs attracted the eyes of the surrounding males.
"Ah Chuan, the beauty is here …" Lu Xiong glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He pretended to be nonchalant and said softly.
Hayashi River turned his head. When he saw the woman, he couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Lin. What a coincidence. "The woman walked in front of him and said with a smile.
This woman was none other than Madam Maybney of the Campbell family. She was the leader of the Black Net's stronghold here — Madam Glimmer.
"Madam Maybney."
Hayashi River nodded slightly. His attitude was neither warm nor cold. His eyes occasionally looked at the Heart Essence Equipment and machinery on the exhibition stage. It seemed that they were more attractive to him.
"Mr. Lin. Aren't you going to introduce your friend? "
Madam Glimmer didn't care about Hayashi River's straightforward behavior. Her eyes wandered and looked at Lu Xiong. The latter immediately straightened his back and displayed the posture of a soldier.
"This is my classmate, Lu Xiong." Hayashi River introduced.
He didn't want his best friend to have any contact with the leader of the Black Net. If Lu Xiong's [Steel Arm] ability was exposed, the situation wouldn't be good.
It was obvious that Madam Glimmer had investigated Hayashi River. She had some understanding of his classmates in Nanro College.
She wasn't interested in Lu Xiong. She used a gentle voice and chatted with Lu Xiong for a while. Then, she turned her attention to Hayashi River.
At this moment, a man wearing a mechanic's robe walked over. When he saw Madam Glimmer, he revealed a surprised expression.
"Madam Maybney, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be here. Are you here to cheer for our Nanro Province team? "
This man walked over and glanced at Hayashi River. When he saw the mechanic badge on the latter's chest, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Then, he tidied up his mechanic's robe and intentionally revealed the two-star mechanic badge on his chest.
"I'm the two-star mechanic, Kenya. This is …" Kenya nodded in greeting and smiled as he asked.
Hayashi River smiled and indicated that he was a nobody. He wouldn't disturb Madam Maybney's conversation with her friend. Then, he pulled Lu Xiong and left.
"Heh … A mechanic without even a star. He's indeed a nobody." Kenya smiled and turned to look at the beauty he admired, showing his gentleness.
Madam Glimmer was furious, but she couldn't show it. She could only watch as Hayashi River and Lu Xiong walked away.
On the other side.
Lu Xiong looked at Hayashi River and said, "Brother, you've changed. You can even turn a blind eye to such a beauty. Did you eat too much in the past year? "
"I was engrossed in mechanical research and had no time to care about other things," Hayashi River said.
"Forget it … You've changed, Ah Chuan …"
Lu Xiong's face was filled with sadness. He thought of the past year. He had communicated with Hayashi River a few times. Half of the calls had the figures of beauties.
Previously, he was still wondering why the maintenance department of the civilian training camp would have such good benefits.
Only now did he understand the truth. A mechanical genius could not gain the favor of beauties no matter where he was.
"Ah Chuan. Now that I specialize in the mechanical field, how long do you think it will take me to become a mechanic? "Lu Xiong asked.
"Wake up. It will be hard for you to …" Hayashi River told the truth without mercy.
Just like in the academy, the two of them argued with each other and walked backstage.
In the passageway, a door suddenly opened. Su Duanpo's beautiful face appeared. She nodded and said, "Mr. Lin. Come in and talk. "
Hayashi River was stunned. He pulled the stiff Lu Xiong and walked in.
"Hello, sir!"
Lu Xiong stood straight and saluted.
Although the military and the Garrison Department were not the same system, the title of the special forces was still popular in the military.
Especially Su Duanpo. He was a legend in the South Rudra Province. Lu Xiong was extremely nervous.
"Soviets. What's the matter … "Hayashi River asked.
Su Duanpo looked at Hayashi River and said with a faint smile, "Ms. Maybley from the Campbell family seems to be very interested in you."
Hearing this, Hayashi River was stunned. He glanced at Su Duanpo.
Lu Xiong's eyes widened as he exclaimed inwardly. Was his best friend so popular? Even the deputy chief of the special forces had taken a fancy to Hayashi River. Was he jealous? Were mechanics so popular …
"I'm not interested in Ms. Maybley," Hayashi River replied with a smile.
"That's good. Mr. Lin, your identity is special. I don't recommend you to interact too much with Ms. Maybley, "Su Duanpo said.
Hearing this, Hayashi River looked surprised. He seemed to have "heard" the hidden meaning in Su Duanpo's words.
Lu Xiong's expression turned solemn. He had heard the hidden meaning.
"Sir Su. Should I excuse myself? "Lu Xiong asked.
"You don't have to excuse yourself. You're Mr. Lin's classmate, and you're from the military in Lahoe City. Coincidentally, I need your assistance in this matter. I've already spoken to your superior … "
As Su Duanpo spoke, he took out two documents and handed them to Hayashi River and Lu Xiong. They contained information on Maybley, and there were many unusual points.
Hayashi River flipped through the documents. The special forces' investigation on Ms. Glimmer was only at the investigation stage. They didn't know her true identity.
"Mr. Lin. If you're really interested in Ms. Maybley, I hope you can be our informant. If you discover anything, you can let us know. "
Su Duanpo looked at Hayashi River and said calmly.
"I'm not interested in this woman," Hayashi River said with a straight face.
"Alright. I'll arrange for someone else to choose, "Su Duanpo said with a smirk.
Lu Xiong was holding the documents. He was so excited that he almost broke into a smile. The requirements for this mission were low, but it was a high-level mission.
If he completed it well, it would be worth half a year's worth of missions.
Just then —
Hayashi River's Mental Battlenet link rang, and a message popped up. He looked at it. It was from Gong Guanyang.
"Three Eyes Seeing the World, are you at the Nanluo City Mechanic Competition venue? Hurry back, it's urgent! "
"No, we'll talk about it in Mental Battlenet City," Hayashi River replied briefly.
He muttered in his heart. Wasn't Gong Guanyang helping his teacher to research the High Star Mental Battlenet?
He thought he would disappear for a year or two. Why did he suddenly come back to life …
