The average level of the mechanics in the team was around two stars, but their mechanical skills were really bad.
Be it the basic [Ma Style Energy Thread Adhesion Technique], [Kro Inner Web Reinforcement Technique], or the advanced Energy Crystal Cutting Technique, Conduction Device Structure, etc., even the Mechanics of the same grade from the Fireblade Mechanical Workshop were far inferior.
How could they be so bad?!
Hayashi River was a little puzzled. How did these people get their stars?
Of course, he couldn't tell them the truth. He could only tactfully say that the mechanics from Nanluo Province didn't look strong. He was afraid that Ai Yun's bet would go down the drain.
After all, he was from Nanluo Province and was studying at Nanro College. It wasn't good to say that.
"Hayashi River. Does the team you bet on have any hope of advancing? "Cai Yun asked.
Hayashi River nodded. He knew the strength of the Mechanical Beehive Team. It was hard to say whether they could get first place in the three stars group.
However, advancing was not a problem.
Cai Yun heard this and immediately took out the instrument to increase the bet for the Mechanical Beehive Team.
Ai Yun pondered for a moment before adding another round of bets.
When Wang Zheng saw this, he immediately followed suit.
"Teacher, why is it only 50 gold coins?"
Hayashi River glanced at it and took the instrument. He swiped his card and used Wang Zheng's account to place a thousand gold coins.
"Why are there so many of them?" Monitor was shocked.
The teachers of Nanro College had an average salary, but the benefits were good. Sometimes, they could earn a few hundred gold coins a year.
This bet of a thousand gold coins was a little too much.
"I borrowed it from Teacher. Don't worry, the Mechanical Beehive Team will definitely advance. Since we're here to watch the competition, we should have some fun, "Hayashi River said.
Teacher's lips moved, and he was about to say something.
Cai Yun, Ai Yun, Bai Qingwei, and Lu Xiong also took out their cards and transferred a sum of gold coins to the round number of three thousand gold coins.
"You guys … Don't do this in the future …" Wang Zheng said and didn't say anything else.
As they spoke, the second round of the competition began.
Because of the bet, Monitor and others watched attentively, waving and cheering from time to time.
At the end of the second round, just as Hayashi River had predicted, the Mechanical Beehive had won two consecutive matches.
As for the South Sieve Province team, they were defeated once again.
Two consecutive defeats!
At this time, after the news spread in the group, forums, and various social media platforms, there was a wave of criticism.
One must know that the previous propaganda regarding the South Sieve Province team had been full of boasting. The only thing missing was carving the word 'invincible' on the foreheads of the members of the Three Star Group.
This kind of momentum had raised the expectations of the people of the South Sieve Province to a very high level, and the gambling dogs had also placed their bets without holding back.
Now, after two rounds, they had lost twice in a row. According to the analysis, the opponents were not very strong. This performance was too bad.
Hayashi River and the others were overjoyed to see everyone criticizing them. The Mechanical Beehive Squadron had won two games in a row. With another win, there was a 90% chance that they would advance to the next round.
Ding …
Their communicators vibrated, and several messages popped up one after another. They were from Bamboo Pole and the others. After winning two games in a row, they took advantage of the break time to report the good news to Hayashi River.
Bamboo Pole even made a bold statement that they would be able to get first place.
"These people are bursting with confidence after only the second round. This won't do …"
Hayashi River thought to himself. He replied in unison, "Don't be arrogant. Be careful not to screw up."
Half an hour later …
The third round had ended.
On the big screen in the venue, the ranking of the Three Star Group teams was displayed. The Mechanical Beehive Squadron was ranked 21st.
With this ranking, it was confirmed that they had advanced to the group stage.
As for the South Sieve Province team, they were in the bottom 20.
"We won! We advanced! The Mechanical Beehive Squadron is too awesome! "
Monitor Wang Zheng clenched his fist and waved it fiercely. From the start of the second round, he had been calm and collected on the surface, but in fact, his palms were already sweating.
This was an additional bet of 3000 gold coins. If he had lost, his students would not say anything, but he would also feel bad.
Now that they were going to advance in the third round, how could Wang Zheng bear it? He shouted loudly.
"Hayashi River. After that, I followed you … "Cai Yun also laughed.
He had placed a large bet and won quite a lot.
Hayashi River smiled and nodded. After watching three rounds of competition, he had a general understanding of the strength of the Mechanical Beehive Squadron.
He had originally thought that the strength of the Mechanical Beehive Squadron would be above average.
The Mechanical Beehive Squadron was a city of machines. Even if the teams that came from here were randomly assembled, how could they be weak?
However, before the competition, Hayashi River had heard that many teams had been preparing for this Mechanic Competition for a long time. Some had even prepared for more than half a year.
This caused Hayashi River's classification of the strength of the Mechanical Beehive Squadron to be pushed down.
After all, in a competition like this, strength was one aspect, but preparation before the competition was also extremely important.
The members of the Mechanical Beehive Squadron were so busy in the mechanical workshop that they did not have the time to practice.
However, he did not expect that after three rounds of competition, Hayashi River would understand how big the gap between the strength of many teams and the Mechanical Beehive Squadron was.
Such a gap could not be made up for with more practice.
After practicing for more than half a year, the Mechanical Beehive Squadron was still a Bronze Beehive Squadron. How could they win against the temporary Diamond Beehive Squadron?
These three rounds of competition allowed Hayashi River to see how big the gap between the Mechanics of the same Star Level was, especially the Mechanics of the Craftsman Faction.
It was no wonder that Old Qiu wanted to invite Master Barce to repair the Heart Element Equipment. It was probably because he did not trust the Mechanics of the Empire.
"Our provincial team is too weak. Ah Chuan, no wonder you wanted to go to the White Dwarf Kingdom. The gap is too big," Lu Xiong muttered.
"You are a soldier of South Sieve Province. Don't say such things." Hayashi River glanced at his best friend.
Lu Xiong was stunned for a moment before he nodded.
Another hour passed.
The Three Star Group's preliminaries ended. The Mechanical Beehive Squadron had an undefeated record. They were ranked 13th and entered the group stage.
As for the South Sieve Province team, they were completely defeated.
In the fourth and fifth rounds, the morale of the South Sieve Province team exploded. Their performance became more and more ridiculous. In the end, they were ranked seventh from the bottom and were eliminated.
This result was unacceptable to the people of South Sieve City. Countless people cursed the South Sieve Province team. They even made humiliating emoticons of the South Sieve Province team and appeared on various social media platforms.
Noon, break time.
Hayashi River and the others were eating lunch in the buffet cafeteria while talking about the morning's competition.
Cai Yun and Ai Yun chatted while eating. They opened the forum and used their smurf accounts to curse the South Sieve Province team.
At this moment, Maybunny came over with a tray and sat opposite Hayashi River.
"Mr. Hayashi River. Were you in the VIP seats during the morning's competition? I've been looking for you for a long time … "
With such a beautiful woman sitting down, it immediately attracted more attention from the surrounding people.
Ai Yun and Bai Qingwei's pretty faces darkened. The two of them did not have a good impression of this social butterfly from the Campbell Family.
In their eyes, apart from seducing men, this woman could only seduce men …
"I was in the VIP seats," Hayashi River said politely with a smile.
He actually wanted to interact more with Maybunny. With his methods, it would not be difficult to pry out the secrets of the Black Net from this woman.
However, considering Su Duanpo, Hayashi River gave up.
Moreover, he was a little tight on time for the Infinite Machinery Wheel Competition.
"Then, can I sit in your VIP seats in the afternoon …" Maybunny's eyes twinkled with a smile. The surrounding people stared at her.
"Sorry. The VIP seats can only seat six people. "
"It's already full."
Before Hayashi River could refuse, Ai Yun and Lv Qingwei spoke at the same time.
"Maybunny, you're here …"
Just as Ms. Maybunny was about to say something with a smile, a surprised voice sounded. Kenya walked over quickly, followed by the entire South Sieve Province team.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the restaurant became gloomy. Many people glared at Kenya and the rest with angry expressions.
The South Sieve Province team had lost so badly, and these people still dared to come to the restaurant. Weren't they afraid of being beaten to death?
However, this was just a thought. Although many people wanted to give Kenya and the rest a good beating, attacking a Mechanic in public was a serious crime.
Moreover, this was a team of Mechanics with an average of more than two stars. They could only "assassinate" them with their gazes …
Kenya was oblivious to this. He only had eyes for Ms. Maybunny. He walked over and noticed that Hayashi River was there as well. His expression changed instantly.
"Why are you always haunting Miss Maybunny?"
Kenya's expression was ice-cold as he glared at Hayashi River and berated him.
Damn, you noob lost the competition, and you still dare to come to the restaurant to find trouble with a woman. Are you really a noob …
Hayashi River was dumbfounded. Although the brain circuits of a Mechanic were unique in other aspects other than machinery, it was the first time that Hayashi River had encountered one like Kenya.
Hayashi River had reason to suspect that Kenya, this noob, had lost so badly because he was always thinking about women during the competition …
