Although the part-time mecha master job was lost, Yun Xingze didn’t find it pitiful. After all, he didn’t want any money from Chi Yu.
If he can’t find a suitable employer, then he’ll ignore this matter for the time being.
Now, his main goal is to win the campus mecha contest and reach a ten victory winning streak.
After the contest is over, he can make a lot of money by picking up those scattered orders. It doesn’t matter if you don’t become someone’s mecha master.
An omega’s estrus period lasts for about seven or eight days, which will definitely affect the next game.
Yun Xingze dug out the inhibitors from the closet. The dosage is enough to support him through the estrus period this month.
Inhibitors with fast effects require needles, which is troublesome. Conversely, ingestible inhibitors need more than half an hour to take effect.
So most omega will take inhibitory medication the night before the onset of estrus.
An omega’s estrus is generally fixed and rarely advances, so Yun Xingze did not expect to enter estrus three days earlier, which caused the accident.
After this accident, Yun Xingze decided to carry inhibitors with him before and after the estrus period.
However, Yun Xingze suddenly felt something was wrong when he went to the physical training room to exercise after taking the inhibitor.
His muscle strength and running speed were weakened.
Yun Xingze soon realized that this was a side effect of the medication.
When he asked Lu Ranxu for confirmation, Lu Ranxu confirmed his idea.
“Oral and injected inhibitors both may cause a decrease in physical strength,” Lu Ranxu explained. “Furthermore, estrus itself has a certain effect on the body… Of course, there are also inhibitors that have little effect on the body.”
“Where can I buy those?” Yun Xingze asked.
“That kind of inhibitor is still being developed. I heard that it is exclusively for the royal family and nobles.” Lu Ranxu thought for a while then said: “It is estimated that most people can’t buy it. ”
Yun Xingze was a little depressed. “Is there be no other way…”
“Yes.” Lu Ranxu said without hesitation.
Hope rekindled in Yun Xingze’s heart, as he looked at Lu Ranxu. “What way?”
“Find an alpha boyfriend,” Lu Ranxu replied. “Let him mark you.”
Yun Xingze’s heart fell into the abyss again. He doesn’t want to fall in love now, let alone the thing called “marking”.
After an omega is marked, the influence of estrus is greatly reduced. But at the same time, his body and mind will completely belong to the alpha that marked him.
“I’m tired.” Yun Xingze collapsed on the sofa. “Let’s leave it up to fate then.”
Affected by estrus and inhibitors, Yun Xingze estimated his physical fitness returned to C-level, but his mental power has not changed much.
Therefore, if Yun Xingze meets an A+ opponent in the next game, such as Kaleb, it will be very dangerous.
In the evening, the results of the second round of the competition were announced on the school’s official website. The pairings for the third round was also released.
After seeing the pairings, Yun Xingze breathed a sigh of relief. It was a B+ level alpha. Although in theory, he is still the disadvantaged party, but it is certainly easier than fighting Kaleb.
The video of the battle between Yun Xingze and Kaleb went viral on the school’s official website. The number of views and comments skyrocketed, and soon became the most popular video from the second round.
This is related to Kaleb. Because his fighting style is crazy, each video about him attracts a lot of people to watch.
But obviously, the protagonist of this game is not Kaleb, but Yun Xingze.
Everyone was first shocked by Yun Xingze’s ugly cat. At first, the barrage tweeted “?”, mocking that the cat was uglier than the owner.1
But soon, they were shocked by the cat’s flexibility. It was the same reaction as every audience member who had watched the game live. The barrage was still sending out “?” to show admiration and shock instead.
Thanks to this video, the popularity of Yun Xingze’s account on the Mecha Mutual Help Network rose again. More and more people asked him to modify their mechas, and some even wanted to buy his ugly cat.
Yun Xingze did not continue to pay attention to this matter. In order to prevent accidents in the upcoming game, he used the little remaining time to exercise in the mental strength training room.
Since his physical fitness is inevitably affected, and the estrus period is cyclical, he planned to improve his mental power and his ability to regulate and control mental power.
His mental power has improved during actual combat, and his level is now B. Now he still has 60% of the progress bar to be promoted to A-level.
Yun Xingze turned on the dual-star mecha analog pulse device. After the mental power link is connected, the screen will display the mental power values received by the host armor and the reconnaissance mecha, and the values on both sides are similar.
At this time, Yun Xingze closed his eyes and tried to transfer all the mental power of the mainframe to the reconnaissance mecha.
This is a very difficult thing to accomplish.
Because there is a natural mental power difference between a brain and an impulse device. Once mental power enters the bond, it will take a long time to pull it out of the bond unless the link is directly broken.
And what Yun Xingze wanted to do was not only to strengthen the amount of mental power sent, but also to transfer mental power to other bonds, which was even more difficult.
In the first attempt, Yun Xingze failed and he only transferred part of it.
But he didn’t give up, and quickly made the second and third attempts…
When he reached the eighth time or so, the mental power was successfully transferred to the reconnaissance mecha. It only took ten seconds.
After success, Yun Xingze began more complex regulation behaviors, such as transferring 30% of his mental power over.
Throughout the tempering process, Yun Xingze kept his mental power in a dynamic state, showing his powerful and precise control ability.
If someone saw such incredible behavior, they would be shocked and at the same time will be confused about what he’s trying to achieve.
In fact, after successfully refitting the double star mecha, Yun Xingze has always wanted to develop the potential of this mecha.
Now he is studying a new way of driving that no one has ever tried.
This driving style may help him win the S-class players. Of course, it may also fail. The outcome is still unknown, but he is willing to give it a try because it will also help him improve mecha neural connection technology in the future.
On the day of the third round of the game, Yun Xingze’s was in Arena D, and the game time was the afternoon of the first day.
After two rounds of the game, those who lost twice in a row are unlikely to enter the school team. But the school stipulates that they cannot retire, so some player abstentions have appeared one after another.2
While Yun Xingze waited, several people in front of him abstained.
When he played, the opponent’s used a B-class lightsaber mech. Because Yun Xingze has studied many mechas of the same type and level, he doesn’t have much research interest.
He looked at the opponent’s game data which showed he losed the previous two matches. However, this player was obviously not willing to admit defeat, and he cruelly said: “I have to win this one.”
Before the game started, the cheers of the audience outside the field were particularly enthusiastic.
Yun Xingze felt that there were more people watching the game today than usual. It even matched up to the number of spectators when Luo Wenchuan played.
He didn’t know that, in fact, many people came to admire his ugly mecha and ugly cat in person.
“Wow, it’s really ugly! You didn’t lie to me. It is indeed the ugliest mecha in the school.”
“That cat looks like it will fall down at any time. Can it beat Kaleb?”
After the game started, Yun Xingze simply traded blows with his opponent for a while out of courtesy.
This time, his mechanical beast was fully automatic.
The opponent looked at the ugly cat scratching himself painlessly. Feeling underestimated, he was indignant and sped up his sword strikes.
Since the mechanical beast is fully automatic and only allocated a small amount of mental power, it can evade attacks and carry out simple interference. It is not a big threat to the enemy, so the opponent paid more attention on the mainframe instead.
Although Yun Xingze’s physical strength declined, he is full of energy, and his skills are very flexible.
In the blink of an eye, he dodged the opponent’s chop with a single jump, increasing the distance between them, and stayed in a position his opponent could not reach.
Just as his opponent was about to take off and continue his chase, the ugly cat that had been paddling3Â suddenly threw out two chain swords that entangled his arms.
At the same time, the ugly cat made a difficult movement. Tumbling in the air, with the help of the elasticity of the two chain swords, it turned itself into a stone on a slingshot. Quickly contracting the chain sword, it shrank its body and smashed into the back of his opponent’s head.
“Bang—”
He was slammed into seeing stars. The spectators off the court were also startled.
“What is this? Thinking of itself as a slingshot?”
“Why does Yun Xingze always use such weird ways to fight?”
“It looks painful?”
In the next second, the mechanical beast seemed to have done nothing, and resumed its ineffective scratching.
The opponent was stunned. If Yun Xingze’s reconnaissance mecha was fully automatic, then he only allocated a small amount of mental power to it. How could it achieve such a difficult action?
Is Yun Xingze able to instantly transfer his mental power from the mainframe to the reconnaissance mecha?
How is this possible!
A B-class mecha has 300 bonds, and a double star mecha has nearly 600. They are all allocated at the time of activation. Random changes in mental power are likely to cause confusion. How can someone quickly adjust their mental power in a few seconds? Withdraw a hundred bonds and accurately transfer the to a reconnaissance mecha?
In other words, if there is such a strong ability to regulate mental power, how can Yun Xingze’s mental power be B-level?!
At this moment, Yun Xingze issued a fatal blow to the opponent, slashing the opponent’s shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground and unable to fight anymore.
The entire game lasted only eight minutes.
Everyone felt that Yun Xingze’s strength seems to have improved again, but only the losing opponent’s mind is full of confusion.
He looked at the cat and always felt…
As if he was deceived by this ugly cat.
After the game, Yun Xingze walked out of the arena, he suddenly found a large group of people outside, all of them came to find him for mecha repairs and modification.
Yun Xingze looked at the endless crowd, stunned. He thought only Luo Wenchuan would be treated like this.
“Classmate Yun, can you please help look at my double star mecha?”
“My mecha control module seems a little problem, can classmate Yun help fix it?”
“Obviously I came before you. What are you guys squeezing in for?”
“Let me pass. I asked Classmate Yun to repair my mecha before. Let me go first…”
“Can you be my mecha master? I also want a cat.”
In another arena, Luo Wenchuan and Ke Lei walked out at the same time. They saw the grand scene at the gate of the next door at a glance.
When Ke Lei saw Yun Xingze being chased by a group of people, he said with emotion: “I am really an all-seeing wisdom pearl. Yun Xingze is now worth twice as much, and the people who invited him online are still queuing. It is estimated that he will soon become most sought-after mecha master in the whole school.”
As he said, he turned his head and looked at Luo Wenchuan: “But since you don’t want to find him, then you have no fate.”
After speaking, he shook his head with his hands on his back and looked regretful. “Oh, what a pity.”
Luo Wenchuan pursed his lips. He looked at the teenager in the crowd with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
If Yun Xingze can still be invited, then it means that he has not agreed to the invitation of 100,000 star coins?
Ke Lei wanted to pull Luo Wenchuan to watch the excitement, but he didn’t expect that Luo Wenchuan would take a step ahead of him and suddenly raised his foot and walked towards the crowd.
Yun Xingze said, “You go to make an appointment online”, while pulling away, preparing to stay away from this group of over-enthusiastic students.
At this time, a figure squeezed into the crowd and grabbed Yun Xingze’s arm.
Yun Xingze looked up and found that the person was Lu Ranxu.
“Xingze, something went wrong.” Lu Ranxu’s expression was not very good. He pulled Yun Xingze aside and lowered his voice, “The Academic Affairs Office is looking for you, saying that you want to retire.”
Yun Xingze wrinkled his eyebrows in confusion. “What?”
Lu Ranxu said anxiously: “I heard someone reported you… You should go to the Academic Affairs Office first.”
Not far away, Luo Wenchuan saw Yun Xingze being pulled away, and paused.
Suddenly, Zhuo Feiyue sent him a message.
After reading it, Luo Wenchuan reacted. Yun Xingze seemed to be in trouble.
He couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at the boy.

Owner being the host mecha or mainframe that Yun Xingze drives.

T/N: As in people can’t retire from the contest/won’t be kicked out after losing, so the only way to avoid fighting is to abstain from a fight.

Paddling as in paddling water, not really doing anything
