He finished it so quickly?
This time, not only Wei Linlin, but even the person in charge of the booth was shocked. He quickly went forward to check Li Xiang's steam pistol. The score had already popped up on the recorder on Li Xiang's wrist.
Competition Content: [Basic Steam Pistol Creation]
Competition Evaluation: S
Competition Points: 150
Competition Ranking: 15
Overall Competition Ranking: 10000 +
Li Xiang glanced at the recorder and was shocked. Although this was only his third time making a basic steam pistol, he had already analyzed the blueprint thoroughly. His familiarity with this gun was comparable to that of a Master, but he still only received an S evaluation. The highest evaluation in the Sky Arena was X, followed by SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D.
It was no wonder that there were only 15 people in the competition ranking. There were 14 people in front of him who had an S evaluation. This was indeed a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
However, the completed steam pistol had greatly shocked the person in charge! He was only here to purchase half-finished products or defective products, but Li Xiang's gun was obviously a premium product. Even if he did not know much about machinery, he could feel it from the touch and other aspects.
He had met an expert.
"This, this …" The person in charge had an uncertain expression. It was a little difficult to deal with him. Even if it was for points, it was too disrespectful to only give him 100,000 Blue Star Coins for a premium product.
On the other side, a group of people were clamoring to see the results. In their eyes, Li Xiang was just trying to show off. How could he have made a steam pistol so quickly without a blueprint?
He was probably not even 20 years old.
"What? Isn't there a reward of 100,000 Blue Star Coins? My gun is not up to standard? " Li Xiang glanced at him. The S evaluation was already out. Was the other party still trying to take advantage of him?
"This, of course not! The gun you made is definitely a premium product. It's just that our reward is only 100,000 Blue Star Coins … "The moment the person in charge said that, everyone was shocked.
This gun was actually a premium product?
Wei Linlin was even more dumbfounded. Her petite figure secretly hid in the crowd, trying her best not to be seen by him. Her luck couldn't be so bad that the pervert she randomly met was actually a mechanical genius, right?
Soon, many people suspected that the booth was putting on a show. Everyone had different opinions. After all, a top-quality product meant that the player could be ranked in the top 100 of the competition. It was rare to see someone like that.
"It's fine. It would be even better if we could switch to a standard tube of Origin Substance Gas." Li Xiang waved his hand casually. After all, the materials and equipment he used belonged to the other party. He just wanted to earn some points. Even if he sold the gun, it would sell for 300,000 Blue Star Coins at most. He didn't care about 200,000 Blue Star Coins.
The person in charge hurriedly nodded and ran to the back to retrieve three standard tubes of Origin Form gas, respectfully handing them over. "How can this be? Although the 24K Pure Gold Dog Head Gang is only a small faction, we won't try to scam you. These are three standard tubes of Origin Form gas, please kindly accept them."
"Ah, thank you very much. I'm in a hurry. Bye bye." Li Xiang accepted the three standard tubes of Origin Form gas. He almost laughed out loud at the name of this small faction. He held back his laughter and waved his hand to leave the booth.
The entrance fee was also refunded.
After easily obtaining the three standard tubes, he gradually understood the meaning of being a mechanic. Earning money here was even faster than robbing people.
As for the name of this small faction, it was interesting as well. The 24K Pure Gold Dog Head Gang. It seemed that the leader of this gang was an unyielding single dog. He was already at the level of 24K Pure Gold.
Li Xiang pushed through the crowd, ignoring their gazes. With 150 points, he had the qualifications to go to the second floor. Seeing him walk up the stairs without even looking back, everyone knew that they had probably seen a rare mechanical genius.
Wei Linlin, who was quietly following behind him, gritted her teeth and followed him. She had completed a few matches and had finally accumulated 100 points, while he had done it in one go. Comparisons were odious.
After Li Xiang had awakened the Five Senses Magic Circuit, his senses had risen to a whole new level. Wei Linlin's seemingly stealthy stalking methods paled in comparison to an expert like him who had learned the Serpent assassination techniques.
He didn't expose her. This little girl didn't have any hostility; she was probably just curious. He let her be.
As soon as he entered the second floor, his field of vision widened considerably.
Unlike the first floor, which only had booths, the second floor had many trading areas. There were both official and unofficial trading areas. The unofficial trading areas were usually used by certain forces to recruit talents or to commission production or maintenance tasks. The official trading areas were for mechanical enthusiasts. Mechanical devices, spare parts, and Blue Star Coins could all be exchanged as long as one had enough points.
However, no matter what kind of trading, the Sky Arena officials would deduct a fee.
Thinking back, it was no wonder this place was known as a mecha enthusiast's holy land. If you stayed here for a long time, you would be able to earn money quickly, and you would also be able to make connections with many factions. The Sky Arena's popularity also made it more and more popular, attracting even more geniuses. It was no wonder that the Wessex Technology Company had so many talented people.
The requirement to enter the third floor was 500 points.
Wei Linlin followed him to the second floor and hurriedly ran to compete. After all, her main goal here was to gain experience.
Li Xiang also began to search for booths related to firearms. He was strong in firearms, and time was of the essence. Naturally, he would try to earn points from where he was best at.
However, the second floor was the same as the first floor. Most likely, the level of mechanical enthusiasts here wasn't high enough. Very few booths had anything to do with firearms. After searching for a while, he could only find a random booth to compete in.
Li Xiang completed his creation as quickly as possible. Under the stunned gazes of the competitors and the person in charge, he easily earned a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins and obtained a standard tube of Origin Form Gas.
He still felt a little regretful. Booths related to firearms had extremely high rewards, and they were also worth a lot of points. Booths with ordinary mechanical devices were much less valuable. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to find any booths related to firearms, so he could only participate in a few more competitions to accumulate points.
After a single round, he had only earned a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.
He turned on the recording device again and pulled up the numbers.
Competitor: Li Xiang
Competitive Title: None
Highest Competitive Floor: 2
Competitive Points: 525
Overall Competitive Ranking: 10000 +
After collecting five hundred points, he immediately rushed to the third floor. At the same time, he took the time to glance at Wei Linlin, who was still competing. She had just finished a new round and seemed to have reached five hundred points. She continued to sneakily follow Li Xiang.
Wei Linlin's strategy was very simple. She would repeatedly grind for points in the same arena. Because the points required were relatively low, this strategy was the most logical and fastest. However, Li Xiang could reach S rank no matter which arena he chose, so it didn't matter.
Most people like Wei Linlin would choose an arena where they could reach A rank and grind for points. As for S rank, it was too difficult to obtain, so most people wouldn't even consider it.
Wei Linlin also secretly observed Li Xiang during the competition. After seeing him sweep through the entire arena, the frustration in her heart deepened. This clearly showed that he was extremely confident in his mechanical skills. Moreover, her speed of grinding was not as fast as his. It could be seen that every time he competed, his evaluation would be very high. It was very likely that he would get an S rank.
"If someone from a commoner background can be more outstanding than me, then wouldn't he have my resources …" Wei Linlin, who had never lost before, felt a sense of competition rise in her heart. She clenched her small fists. She wanted to see just why Li Xiang was so strong.
She believed that her talent was not bad, and the resources her family gave her were also incomparably large. That was why she could reach this level in her second year of high school. He didn't look much older than her, so why was the gap between them so big?!
Feeling the gaze of the petite beauty behind him, Li Xiang chuckled and continued to climb.
The higher the Sky Arena went, the further it was from the ground. The arena also gradually widened, and the scenery around it became more beautiful. It gave people a feeling of constantly evolving and surpassing the level of illusion.
This kind of feeling could motivate people to continuously break through and rise.
Li Xiang admired the concept of this building's designer. At his level, he could already feel the concept of many mechanics. That was the most important thing.
From the third floor onwards, mechanical maintenance related booths appeared. In the lower levels, the difficulty of maintenance was much higher than the difficulty of production. In other words, the difficulty of maintenance was higher than the difficulty of production. The latter was a craftsman's craft. With the blueprints, skills, and tools, anyone could complete it. There was no need for creativity. However, maintenance was different.
One needed to have a thorough understanding of the equipment, a certain degree of ability to analyze errors, and skilled skills.
Wei Linlin had focused on learning maintenance skills in her family. Her father, who doted on her a lot, even spent a lot of money to hire more than ten maintenance masters to teach her knowledge and skills. This was her strong point, and also the source of her confidence to break through to the 10th floor.
Seeing Li Xiang wandering around nonstop, Wei Linlin did not have the time to accompany him. There was a certain gap between the two of them, and she had to follow Li Xiang's footsteps closely. She could only try her best to accumulate points. After confirming Li Xiang's position, she dove into the booth.
"Firearms maintenance, firearms maintenance …" Li Xiang was depressed to find that there were still no firearms related booths on the third floor. He could not help but run to the front desk to ask. Only then did he find out that most firearms related booths were at least on the sixth floor. If there were any in the first five floors, it would definitely be because some faction wanted to take advantage of the situation and see if they could get some defective goods at a low price.
After a fruitless search, Li Xiang could only give up on this idea. He continued to sweep through the booths to earn points and the bounty.
Unknowingly, his fame had spread to the lower levels.
Perhaps no one would notice if it was just once or twice, but as long as he appeared, he would finish the competition with the fastest speed and the best results. The people in charge of the booths all greeted him with smiles and respect. This made the other machinery enthusiasts depressed, but they were also very curious.
Looking at Li Xiang's condition, it was clearly his first time in the Sky Arena. Could it be that they were witnessing the rise of a genius?
This time, the results of his sweep were quite good. With enough points, he quickly headed to the higher levels. Wei Linlin, on the other hand, was panting heavily as she followed him.
