There was a simple table in the dojo. On top of it was a mechanical stove that could adjust the flame. On top of it was a pot full of soup that was boiling and emitting white steam. On the table were some processed ingredients. The four of them sat together and cooked hotpot.
"Our opponent this time is a bit tricky. They are a merchant company that produces flying equipment. They have a lot of money."
Li Lan said as she picked up a piece of meat from the pot.
"I have an impression of this merchant company. They mainly use control machines and their weapon system is from another merchant company. Their main weapon is the Dragon Light Series Cannon. Their firepower is very strong and they are relatively large, but they are very agile. It's very tricky." Mike sat unnaturally as he set the bowl.
"Then isn't it tricky? We don't have any long-range attacks. It's easy to be passive. "Li Lan frowned.
"Then what are their shortcomings?"
Demon King asked.
"Shortcomings? Based on their performance four years ago, their weapon system was unstable and they didn't adjust well with the movement system. That led to their low hit rate. "
Mike said indifferently.
"You're quite observant."
Li Lan smiled.
"It's just an occupational disease. Also, this won't help much." Mike didn't want to say more.
"No, this is enough for us to come up with a countermeasure." Demon King said indifferently.
Just as they were talking, half of the food on the table quietly disappeared.
After finishing the meal, Li Lan and Demon King went out together. She brought the Demon King to Mechanus, a place that specialized in selling magic parts. After the prize money for the audition was distributed, they finally had the money to upgrade their equipment and equipment.
Mechanus, as its name suggested, was a building that was a huge machine. The stalls inside were very interesting. They didn't sell their goods on the display table like the traditional way.
Instead, they used light magic to project their own goods in front of the shop's big sign. The price, production date, and other details were written on it. They could even buy the goods without having to deal with the shop owner.
The Demon King saw many interesting things here, as well as many bold and imaginative inventions. He also sold his ideas and looked for partners.
Unfortunately, their funds were limited. After buying a set of new tools, they could only buy some light magic alloy plates.
Unlike the Demon King who was excited to see all kinds of new things, Li Lan, who worked in magic machines, was much colder.
"Sure enough, it's better to use firearms for magic machines! Why don't we make one? "
The Demon King suggested.
"No, then there's no point in participating in this competition."
Li Lan shook her head. She persisted in her beliefs without wavering. Without her, the Demon King and the others would not be able to participate in the competition, so they could only listen to her.
However, the Demon King would not give up so easily!
Soon, the preliminary round began. It was also the day of Reina's competition.
The venue opened to the arena. It was a huge building. The Reformists were indeed rich. The arena they built was very large and could accommodate more than 100,000 people. Not only had the arena become bigger, but it had also become more complicated.
There were several huge stone pillars in the middle of the arena. There was also a pool of water, sand, and mud in all directions.
There were obstacles and bunkers on the ground. Of course, there was also a flat bottom without any obstacles.
At this time, a person wearing porcelain white armor, metal boots, and a golden ponytail behind the helmet walked onto the arena. Suddenly, some metal eyeballs with dragonfly wings floated around and projected the scene on the surface of a four-sided cube in the air, allowing the spectators to see the scene clearly.
"Now, the one on stage is! Traditional martial arts, wearing a mecha that claims to be able to use martial arts, an individual contestant! Reina! "
The host stood on a hemispherical flying device and introduced loudly with a machine that had magic to amplify the sound in his hand.
After these days of modification, the mecha on Reina's body had a new look. It did not feel bloated, and the unnecessary armor was greatly reduced. It looked much lighter. Now, Reina's slender figure was accentuated. She had also put in a lot of effort into the color scheme, which contrasted with her beautiful face when she didn't speak. She was like a person dancing ballet in steel, giving people a visual impact.
"Oh!!!"
"It's a beautiful girl!!"
"We support you!!"
Sure enough, as the Demon King expected, this mecha matched with Reina's appearance attracted a lot of attention.
"Then, the next one on stage is!! The representative of the Land Merchant Association! The King of Beasts and Centaurs!! "
Just as the host finished speaking, the door on the other side of the arena suddenly opened. A mechanical Centaur rushed out. It was very tall, at least three meters tall. It stepped on the ground and made thumping sounds.
"The battle of beauty and the beast! What will the result be? Will there be a miracle? Or a tragic reality? Now, while the contestants are familiar with the arena, let's welcome today's specially invited mechanical expert, the famous mecha battle researcher Malonku! "
The camera suddenly turned to an old man sitting in front of a podium. His wrinkled face looked like he was not someone to be trifled with.
"Then, Mr. Malonku, what do you think of this competition? What are the differences between the two contestants' magic machines?"
Suddenly, the voice buzzed. The person called Malonku moved the microphone to his mouth.
"The result is obvious. The Centaur Mecha will win. There is no doubt about it." He said ruthlessly.
"Oh, why do you say so? Can you talk about it in detail? "
Malonku snorted sarcastically and said, "Is there even a need to talk about it? The latest product, the Type 67 Land Merchant, has an explosive power of three thousand magic power. Coupled with a solid state magic power furnace that can last a long time, its mobility is unparalleled. After the experience of the last defeat, the Land Merchant Association gave up on large firepower and chose to do their own research. Equipped with self-developed weapons, the Dragon Horse Spear and the Standing God Shield Armor, it can easily deal with all kinds of attacks. It can also switch between attack and defense … "
"Eh! The Land Merchant Association is indeed very powerful! But since our contestant Reina was able to win all the rounds, then her mecha must have some secret weapon. What do you think? "
Because Malonku kept introducing the Centaur Mecha, the host felt that something was wrong and broke the rules, so he immediately interrupted him.
Malonku chuckled and said, "I don't know how she won. The mecha is the already obsolete third generation, Type 22 Morning Star. Although its flexibility and endurance are not bad, it has a fatal flaw in its power and defense. What was that again? A mecha that can use martial arts? Heh, I don't even know what the meaning is. To put it bluntly, it's just a pretty vase. "
He said mercilessly.
At this time, Li Lan, who was standing at the back of the battlefield, clenched her fist and slammed it on the guardrail. Her own product was actually being belittled like this. She knew that she did not have much talent, but this was still a product that she had spent years of hard work to develop. It was one of a kind.
This was the same as telling her that her efforts were all in vain.
