Vroom vroom vroom …
The flywheel levitation devices roared and activated their ejection mode, causing sparks to fly on the track.
From afar, it looked like tongues of fire were spitting out as they charged toward the highest point of the metal ball.
Swoosh swoosh …
Beside Hayashi River, a levitation device flew past. A muscular tauren sat inside. It was Master Greyhoof.
"Master Norbelin, you must do your best! Wahahaha … "
Master Greyhoof laughed loudly. At the back of the driver's seat, there were two ejectors. They spat out tongues of fire and accelerated the levitation device.
The tauren mechanic master was very happy. Being able to surpass Master Norbelin was something to be happy about.
Hayashi River's face darkened. He had been so focused on the battle with Saint Sicar that he had forgotten to research this kind of ejector.
However, it was not easy to create a suitable ejector for the flywheel levitation device.
It was obvious that Master Greyhoof had come prepared. His goal was to become the champion of the [Infinite Machinery Wheel Competition]. Before this, he must have specially researched many types of ejectors.
At this moment, another flywheel levitation device arrived. It was right behind Hayashi River. Master Hayde had arrived. He looked ahead and suddenly laughed. Then, he charged forward.
The two flywheel levitation devices did not collide. Just as they were about to collide, Master Hayde threw out three hexagonal mechanical devices.
With a boom, the three mechanical devices flickered and spat out electromagnetic waves. They connected together and formed a triangular electromagnetic net.
The next moment, the triangular electromagnetic net exploded. A violent shockwave swept out and crashed into the rear of Hayashi River's levitation device.
Bang!
Lin Chuan felt the car shudder, but it was very stable. Its speed increased by one fold, and it charged forward.
"Master Hayde …"
Behind him, Master Hayde waved his hand in the driver's seat. As the distance between them increased, his figure quickly disappeared.
Hayashi River took a deep breath and maintained the stability of the levitation device. He activated the ejector mode and charged toward the finish line.
Swoosh …
The flywheel levitation device continued to accelerate. Soon, it caught up with Master Greyhoof and overtook him.
"This is impossible!?"
Seeing this, Master Greyhoofs roared. He held a heavy sniper rifle and kept shooting at Hayashi River's levitation device.
The 2-star anti-materiel sniper rifle was like a toy in Gray Hoof's hands. Even after firing seven shots in a row, his arm that was as thick as a human's waist did not tremble at all.
However, under the high speed of the levitation device, it was wishful thinking to hit the target with a Two-Star heavy sniper rifle.
Moreover, even if the power of a two-star heavy sniper rifle was unleashed to the extreme, it would not be able to cause much damage to the floating device.
The engine roared, and the speed doubled. Hayashi River drove the flywheel hover vehicle to the finish line, standing at the highest point of the giant metal sphere.
"We won! I got first place? "
Hayashi River slumped in the driver's seat. While he felt tired, he was also pleasantly surprised. He had never expected to win first place like this.
The spectators in the square cheered and applauded. No matter who won first place, as long as it was not one of the three contestants from the Western Continent, it was acceptable.
Moreover, many people were happy to see Master Norbelin win first place.
He was originally a mechanic genius of the Eastern Continent's middle generation, and now he had won first place in the [Infinite Machinery Wheel Competition], snatching a [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin] from the Western Continent.
This would undoubtedly become the talk of the Eastern Continent's mechanic circle.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Western Continent's mechanic circle would be wailing again …
"This isn't fair!"
"It's clearly Master Hayde who helped Norbelin win first place. This goes against the spirit of the competition …"
Many people from the Western Continent protested, criticizing Master Hayde's actions in the third stage of the competition.
Many people sneered and retorted, "Is there a rule that says we can't help the contestants like this?"
"There are three contestants from the Western Continent. Can't you help each other?"
"Master Saint Sicar from the Sacred Palace, isn't what he did going against the spirit of the competition? Do you think we're blind? "
…
The guests from the Western Continent were speechless. Saint Sicar failed to become Master Hayde's disciple, and he held a grudge against Master Norbelin. This was an open secret, and everyone just had a tacit understanding.
As an expert in the [Infinite Machinery Wheel Competition], Saint Sicar did not focus on winning first place. Instead, he kept targeting Norbelin. In the end, his levitation device was pierced, and he was eliminated.
If word of this got out, he would be mocked by the Western Continent's mechanic circle. It was too embarrassing.
"The competition is finally coming to an end …"
Su Duanpo heaved a sigh of relief. The Mechanic Competition was finally coming to an end, and she could relax a lot.
"Next, it's time to deal with the real troublesome matters," Su Duanpo muttered.
Ji Zhou nodded. After the Mechanic Competition in July, the situation in Nanluo City would become tense.
Half an hour later …
The [Infinite Machinery Wheel Competition] held a short award ceremony. Although it was short, the ceremony was grand enough.
More than three hundred Master Mechanics were gathered in one place. Even if it was a simple place, it was still a great honor.
In the top three, Master Norbelin was in first place.
In second place, Master Ando from the Sea-Ao Empire.
In third place, Master Greyhoof from the Western Continent.
To the Eastern Continent's mechanics, this kind of ranking was very satisfactory.
As the leader of the three main factions of mechanics, an academic mechanic obtaining first place gave the mechanics from the other factions a lot of face.
As for the first place, it was not really due to Master Hayde's help.
This made the mechanics from the Craftsman Faction and Combat Faction feel better.
As for the second and third place, they were both Master Mechanics from the Combat Faction.
Master Ando kept a low profile from the start to the end, focusing on rushing to the finish line.
Master Ando was also very satisfied with obtaining second place. As the host, the Sea-Ao Empire also felt good.
As for the third place …
After all, the Western Continent's Master Mechanics were guests from afar. Obtaining third place was not a loss of face.
Of course, many people actually hoped that the three contestants from the Western Continent would not even make it into the top hundred.
However, obtaining third place would make the Eastern and Western Continent's mechanics seem to be on good terms, at least on the surface.
Hayashi River held the winning medal and muttered in his heart. As expected of a competition organized by mechanics, even the medal was made from [Black Sea Secret Gold].
The reward for the first place was a big box. Inside were many boxes and a list of rewards.
The rewards were machinery blueprints, four-star materials, and a few boxes of rare materials.
What Hayashi River cared about the most was the [Black Sea Crystal Gel]. Although it was only a small box, it was still far from the 50kg needed to upgrade [Scale Arm].
However, many a little makes a mickle.
As for the [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin] qualification, it was a nameplate. With this nameplate, one could enter the [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin] at the Mechanical Mirage Ruins.
His fingers caressed the nameplate. The material was very special. Hayashi River could not tell what kind of metal it was.
It was said that this was the metal inside the Mechanical Throne. It could not be obtained in the outside world.
"This nameplate is a good thing!"
Master Hayde walked over and looked at the nameplate of the [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin]. "When I first obtained the qualification nameplate, I destroyed an army of sea beasts by myself and obtained the Eastern Continent's first-class continent's Medal of Honor. Only then did the Machinists Guild give me a nameplate. "
Looking at Hayashi River with a smile, Master Hayde said, "It is very difficult for other mechanics to obtain a qualification nameplate. However, for you, it is not a problem. "
The qualification nameplate of the [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin] was controlled by the mechanics organizations of the Eastern and Western Continent. Only mechanics who had made outstanding contributions would be rewarded with a nameplate.
For combat mechanics, obtaining a qualification nameplate was especially difficult.
Many combat mechanics would head to the frontlines to fight against the army of sea beasts and obtain continent's merit just to obtain a qualification nameplate.
Hayashi River was different. Just the [Scale Fracturing Interference Tower] project was enough for him to obtain the Eastern Continent's third-class continent's Medal of Honor.
In the future, if he had two or three major research results, he would be able to obtain a qualification nameplate.
Hayashi River bowed slightly and thanked Master Hayde. If not for the latter's help, he would not have been able to obtain first place.
Master Hayde waved his hand. "After entering the [Mechanical Flying Shuttle Cabin], have you thought about what you want to ask the Mechanical Monarch?"
Hayashi River shook his head. He wanted to ask many things, but the Mechanical Monarch would only answer one question. He had not thought about it yet.
"You are still young. Go in two years. If you go now, it will be very risky … "Master Hayde said.
"I understand."
Hayashi River said. At the award ceremony, Saint Sicar only stayed for a short while before leaving.
The eagle-headed mechanic did not say anything, but that cold killing intent caused Hayashi River's forehead to ache.
"The Sacred Palace's mechanical combat techniques are unique. If you can obtain my mechanical combat techniques, you will have a chance to form your own faction.
"Many years ago, when I had just entered level six, the Sacred Palace's pontiff had looked for me and asked me to teach him his own mechanical combat techniques, but I rejected him.
"Personally, I do not have a high opinion of the Eastern and Western Continents. However, there are many things that the Sacred Palace has done that I do not like.
"You have to be careful in the future …"
Hayashi River nodded. He was not worried about the Sacred Palace. After this year's Mechanic Competition, this identity would not appear for a short period of time.
Even if the Sacred Palace wanted to find trouble with him, they would have to find someone else first.
Master Hayde smiled and patted Hayashi River's shoulder before leaving.
When he arrived, the flickering electromagnetic sphere rotated, carrying Master Hayde towards the depths of the Black Sea.
Hayashi River declined the banquet at night and left as well.
…
Late at night.
On the top floor of a tall building, Lady Glimmer stood on the balcony and gazed at the southern district of Nanluo City. In the sky above the Black Sea Coast, the lights of the floating arena were gradually extinguished.
She smiled. The Mechanic Competition that had lasted for half a month had finally come to an end, and the floating arena was being dismantled.
"The efficiency of the Machinists Guild is really high! Tomorrow morning, this floating arena will be completely dismantled, and those troublesome Master Machinists will have mostly left … "
For the past half a month, she had been waiting for this moment.
With so many Machinists gathered in Nanluo City, no organization would dare to cause trouble. If they were even the slightest bit careless, they would attract the revenge of the Machinists Guild, and no one would be able to bear that.
At this moment, behind Lady Glimmer stood many figures, like ghosts in the night.
"It's time to start …"
"These days, the garrison and the military have been chasing me everywhere. It's time to teach these guys an unforgettable lesson …"
"And the Qiu family, it's time to start making arrangements …"
"It's been a year and a half since I took over the organization's power here. I've endured for so long, it's time to let these guys remember what my methods were like in the past …"
Lady Glimmer said in a low voice.
Hearing this, those figures bowed and suddenly disappeared.
