"Ah!! I'll definitely beat that guy up in the preliminaries! "
Reina cursed as she punched and kicked the sandbag.
"It's not certain if we'll meet him in the preliminaries. The venue hasn't announced the preliminaries yet. I just hope we won't meet contestant number 328." Li Lan took off her large protective glasses and said.
"If we meet him, I'll definitely avenge uncle!" Reina said angrily.
At this time, the Demon King was silently waiting in front of the workbench, rubbing his chin as he pondered.
Although the main reason he wanted Reina to participate in the competition was to let her get used to fighting and accumulate battle experience. But now he encountered something very interesting. Magic technology. Now he wanted to let Reina use her magic technology to win this competition. After all, it wasn't easy and was somewhat challenging.
The Demon King liked challenges the most.
He looked at the round ball with exposed wires on the surface of the table. This kind of magic machine was something he had never seen before, nor did he think of an invention. The creator must be a genius.
However, this technology tree had a huge flaw, and that was that it was too complicated and had a high failure rate. The more powerful the function, the bigger it had to be, the more complicated it had to be, and the more parts it had to be assembled. But that way the failure rate would be higher and the flexibility would be lower.
And the biggest problem with magic machines was the ability to adapt, which was equivalent to a living creature's reaction to the outside world. We living creatures didn't know why we could understand what we saw and then react accordingly. So, to give this kind of ability to steel without life was obviously impossible.
So, the current magic technology could only set conditions to respond. In other words, after a certain condition was met, the magic machine would do the pre-set actions and so on.
But the reality was very complicated, and there was no way to set all the conditions.
At this time, the Demon King suddenly thought of some magic.
Magic magic, summon a creature that was between a living creature and a spirit. They had the instincts and intelligence of a living creature, but without a living body, they would quickly disappear in the real world.
This was a kind of magic used by a race called the Creator. But a long time ago, this race suddenly disappeared in the long river of history, and this magic was also lost.
However, in the future, a certain Demon King who happened to have a lot of free time inadvertently found their ruins. Through studying their ancient texts, he successfully replicated their magic.
Yes, this Demon King who had free time was Richard. He was the first Demon King who had excavated most of the ruins in the world.
"Eh? Master, what is this? So beautiful! "
Just as the Demon King stealthily took out a pink glowing crystal from his pocket, Reina finished knocking and walked over to see it.
The finger-sized crystal immediately attracted Li Lan's attention.
"This is the crystallization of aether, which is the sixth substance." Demon King replied. Looking at Reina's sparkling big eyes, the Demon King didn't even need to think to know that she definitely wanted this crystal.
Of course he wouldn't give it to her. This thing was useless to her, and it was very precious. Even the Demon King didn't have much of it.
"I said before that things created by magic will one day turn back into magic and disappear, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Reina nodded. After learning the crystallization magic, the first thing she wanted to do was to use magic to create all kinds of delicious things and then have a big meal.
Of course, with her 'unremitting' efforts, she created the best buns she had ever eaten. But when she was about to eat it, she was stopped by her master and scolded for an hour.
Things created by magic couldn't be eaten. This was something that Reina deeply remembered. That was because the body didn't know that they were magic and would turn them into a part of the body. When those magically-created substances disappeared, it would cause irreparable damage to the body.
"But this world loves to joke. There are exceptions to the law I mentioned. When things created by magic are around crystallized aether, they will never disappear." Demon King's eyes suddenly became sharp. This also meant that the common sense they knew could be broken at any time. There were still many unknown things in this world.
"Oh!! Does that mean we can eat it? "Linnai blinked her eyes and said excitedly.
"Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat! Do you know how amazing this is!! Seriously! " Demon King scolded. This useless disciple of his really, really. If he gave her a wishing pot, she would really only use it to make tea.
"That sounds pretty amazing. What are you going to use it for?"
Li Lan was also interested.
Demon King smiled slightly. Without saying anything, he put it in the round ball called Magic Kung Fu Ball in front of the two of them and embedded it in a small box. Then he pushed it into the round ball.
"It's done! My first masterpiece! Magic Kung Fu Super Ball! "Demon King said excitedly.
The corner of Li Lan's mouth twitched. What kind of name was this, but she was also very curious about the use of this thing. It was round and had no hands, no feet, and no eyes. It was just a ball with some lines on it, as if it was pieced together.
"Then what is the function of this magic machine of yours? Can you tell me? "
Li Lan asked curiously.
"No, this is a secret. You will know in the preliminaries."
Demon King smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"Okay."
Li Lan sighed, pushed the stool, and continued to work.
"Master! You can tell me secretly! "
However, Reina quietly whispered in Demon King's ear.
Bang!
Demon King's iron fist still accurately hit her head.
"You have rested enough! Why aren't you training!! "
"Eh? Yes ~ "
Reina hugged her head and ran away unwillingly.
At this moment, Mike, who was lying on the bed reading a magazine with his legs crossed, suddenly heard a sound. His injuries were a little better. He wanted to get some fresh air but didn't want to be disturbed, so he moved near the door.
At this moment, the door of the dojo gently opened. A man in his fifties quietly looked in. Mike's gaze accidentally met the other person's, and the two of them looked at each other awkwardly …
After a while, the other person awkwardly closed the door and quietly left.
"Who is that guy?"
Mike was left in a daze.
…
Three days later, the preliminary matchup was released. On that day, all the participants gathered together. It was very lively.
They were all unfamiliar faces.
"I'm from three days later! My opponent is … Hm?? Lanfeng All Terrain Land Machinery Research Association? What a long and strange name! "Reina was shocked. She had never heard of such a name.
"That's the name of the other party's company. We don't belong to the company, so we can only put your name in," said Li Lan.
"Eh?!" Reina was shocked. She looked again and found that she was the only one with her name written on it.
"This is also an advertising opportunity. Even if it's a solo participant like me, I will find an investor in the preliminaries and put their name on it to get a good amount of advertising funds," said Mike, who was holding a crutch.
"Eh!! Then why didn't anyone invest in us! "Reina was puzzled.
"There were, but I rejected them. We want to advertise a mech that allows normal people to use martial arts, so we can't put other people's names on it," said Li Lan with a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect you to actually make it into the preliminaries. But I'm sorry to tell you that you won't be able to pass the preliminaries."
Just then, an annoying voice came from next door.
The four of them turned to look.
"It's this guy again!"
Reina glared at Zheng Yan who was walking towards them.
"Hmph! I don't want to see you guys either, a bunch of poor people. "Zheng Yan spread his hands in disdain, expressing his helplessness.
Li Lan ignored him and looked up. As expected, if they won the first round, they would most likely meet Zheng Yan in the next round. But that was under the condition that he won.
"Hmph, the preliminaries are different from the qualifiers. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons here. There are no rotten fish or shrimps. That means that your luck has come to an end. Poor people, wait for reality to teach you a lesson! Hahaha! "
As he spoke, he laughed and left.
The four of them were left stunned.
"Is he an idiot?"
Reina frowned and asked.
"Hmm, maybe."
Mike chuckled.
