Lu Ranxu held back the pain as he gasped slightly. Looking at Su Zinan, he suddenly sneered: âSo what if you win. Can your performance score exceed 0.5?â
There are two types of points in the Mecha Contest: victory points and performance points. After each game, you will get 10 points for winning and based on oneâs performance, the referees will give performance points between 0 and 1.
In other words, up to 110 points can be earned in ten games. However, the evaluation of performance points is very complicated. It is judged based on various factors such as the length of the battle, the degree of damage to the mecha, and the strength of the opponent, so there is generally no one who has a full score.
A performance score of 0.7 or higher is a relatively good result.
And this time, the battle took longer and Su Zinanâs opponentâs level was lower than him. The most important thing was that his mecha was hit by Lu Ranxu multiple times, leaving deep and shallow bullet marks. Therefore, his performance score is basically impossible to be higher than 0.5.
Su Zinan looked at the damage marks left on his meteor mecha. Gritting his teeth, he turned around to rush at Lu Ranxu in anger. âEven you dare say this? I have won four games in a row. It is a no-brainer to join the school team. Itâs just a little bit of performance points, do you think it will affect me?â
Lu Ranxu was seriously injured and almost unable to hold on. He fell to his knees with a âplopâ. The referee hurriedly called for the medical robot and medical staff to carry him into the backstage lounge and give him first aid.
Su Zinan put away his mecha, then entered the backstage. Walking to the pale-faced Lu Ranxu, he looked at him condescendingly, and slowly spoke: âAre you okay, Lu xuedi? Donât do this next time because you are jealous of your opponent. Youâll only suffer if you donât have the strength.â
Lu Ranxu was angry as he bitterly glared Su Zinan. âYouâd better pray that you donât meet Xingze. Iâd like to see you how far you can go!â
âYun Xingze?â Su Zinan chuckled when he heard the name. âThe same one who failed the entrance examination, rejected by his fiance, rejected by his family, and complained I stole from him? That piece of trash?â
Lu Ranxu angrily retorted: âHe has made great progress. And heâs the one who took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract! Su Zinan, you shut up!â
âReally a touching friendship,â Su Zinan sneered. âDonât worry, if I meet Yun Xingze, I wonât pity jade like Kaleb. Then again, why did Kaleb release water to him?â
At this point, Su Zinan chuckled lightly, pretending to be innocent and cute: âDo they have some kind of deal?â
Lu Ranxu roared angrily: âDo you think everyone is like you? Clean up your mouth!â
Seeing Lu Ranxu being so emotional, the medical personnel frowned disapprovingly at Su Zinan.
At this moment, Yun Xingze arrived backstage. Having seen what Su Zinan did, he strode up with a frown, and coldly said: âHurry up and go away.â
Su Zinan wanted to say something, but Yun Xingze flexed his fingers, his voice deathly cold: âIf you donât leave, I donât mind slapping you again.â
Remembering the shame of being slapped in the office, Su Zinanâs expression became extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, âYun Xingze, you better pray you donât meet me in the contest.â
After speaking, he turned angrily and left.
Yun Xingze ignored him, frowned and looked at Lu Ranxu, who was lying on the bed in the break room with an infusion. He didnât know whether to blame him for being stupid, or to be grateful for him standing up for himself.
âRanxu, youâŚâ
âI know what you are going to say,â Lu Ranxuâs voice was hoarse and weak, but still squeezed out a smile. âThis game⌠itâs not only for you, but also for myself.â
Yun Xingze was slightly startled.
âXingze, do you know that when I first enrolled in school, I really envied Su Zinan.â Lu Ranxu looked down and said in a low voice. âHe is recognized as a gifted omega with A-level physical and mental strength. No matter how hard I practiced, my speed of improvement is always so slowâŚâ
Yun Xingze pursed his lips and said, âRanxu, itâs not your fault.â
âWhen you said you were going to participate in the contest, I thought you were stimulated after falling out of love. â Lu Ranxu raised his eyes to look at his friend. âBut you seem to be completely different from before. Every step of yours is beyond my expectation. What youâve done was what I wanted to do but didnât have the courage to do.â
Yun Xingze couldnât help being surprised seeing the firmness in Lu Ranxuâs eyes.
âWhen you beat Kaleb, I seemed to see a possibility from you.â Lu Ranxu looked at his palm and slowly put it away. âEven if you donât have talent, you wonât necessarily lose. Therefore, I also want to change.â
Lu Ranxu finally gathered his fingers into a fist, as if he had grasped something.
When Yun Xingze first came to this world, he also made this action. It was his hope and desire for power.
Lu Ranxu suddenly frowned, angrily pounding his thigh with a fist. âDamn, if I had dodged faster then that Su Zinan guy â ahhhh, it hurts!â
Because he accidentally hammered his wound, tears burst out from the pain.
Yun Xingze was taken aback, and asked worriedly: âAre you okay?â
âHe might have to lie down in the medical cabin if he wants to continue the contest,â the medical staff replied.
Lu Ranxu wiped his tears while comforting Yun Xingze. âIâm fine, a little hurt. Xingze, if you match with Su Zinan next, you must win!â
Yun Xingze looked at him, and nodded slightly after a moment. âIf I can meet him, definitely.â
Yun Xingze accompanied Lu Ranxu to the infirmary. Their classmates and Zhuo Feiyue also came to visit him. Many people praised Lu Ranxu for his bravery, but he was unhappy and didnât look like a patient at all.
Yun Xingze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no major problems.
Zhuo Feiyue suddenly called Yun Xingze aside. âXingze, what are you thinking about working as Luo Wenchuanâs mecha master?â
âAh, I want to reply to him in person, but I havenât the chance yet.â Yun Xingze replied.
Seeing him like this, Zhuo Feiyue felt that there might be a chance, so he encouraged him. âIn this case, why donât you meet tonight.â
Hearing this, Yun Xingze that he really did to reply to Luo Wenchuan, so he sent him a message [Senior Luo, are you free tonight?]
After a few minutes, Luo Wenchuan sent a message to Yun Xingze. [Iâm free.] [whatâs up?]
Yun Xingze replied: [Regarding your mecha master, I want to reply to senior in person.] After a while, there was an âenâ sent over.
Luo Wenchuanâs typing style is the same as his speech, cold and short. It gave Yun Xingze the illusion that âit doesnât look like he wants me to be his mecha master.â
Luo Wenchuan set the meeting place in a restaurant outside the school.
This restaurant is expensive, and ordinary students will not come. Yun Xingze feels a strong sense of money when he walks to the door.
He couldnât help but be even more curious about Luo Wenchuanâs origins. If he really came from a barren star, why is he like this?!
In the original work, Yun Xingze only survived the first half of the novel, and did not intersect with Luo Wenchuan. Therefore, the memory of the original owner and the plot did not contain information about Luo Wenchuan.
However, with Luo Wenchuanâs strength, it is impossible to have no role in the original work, right?
Yun Xingze guessed that Luo Wenchuanâs main role may be in the second half of the novel.
When Yun Xingze walked into the box, Luo Wenchuan had already arrived.
The box is on a very high floor, and towering buildings and flying vehicles can be seen from the window. Xinghai Military Academy looked calm and beautiful in the night.
Luo Wenchuan sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, gently raised his eyes and looked at Yun Xingze.
Luo Wenchuan wore simple black casual clothes today. His jacket was removed and the thin shirt ironed flat, showing his broad shoulders. His cool and handsome face appeared more refined and friendly against the night scene.
Yun Xingze greeted him politely. After taking his seat, Luo Wenchuan straightforwardly took out a few documents and handed them to Yun Xingze.
âThe testimony provided by Carl, Director Huang, and alpha who helped testify.â
Yun Xingze was taken aback, and found that the above testimony was very detailed, including when Carl came into contact with Su Zinan and Director Huang. It even contained contents of the conversation between the director and Chi Yu, etc.
These materials can not only prove that Yun Xingze is not guilty, but also prove that Su Zinan and Chi Yu deliberately framed him.
Yun Xingze had to sigh that Luo Wenchuanâs work efficiency was really too high. He looked up at the other party, preparing to thank him when he saw Luo Wenchuan take out another document.
âThis is the investigation data of the match between Su Zinan and Chi Yu last year.â
After Luo Wenchuan finished speaking, Yun Xingze was surprised and confused, so he added: âChi Yu was suspected of deliberately releasing water1Â during the game, resulting in Su Zinan having a performance score advantage of 0.1 that let him surpass Kaleb and replace him as the tenth place. That is, the position of the school teamâs substitute.â
Yun Xingze was stunned. He didnât know about it. He didnât expect Kaleb missing the school team was actually Chi Yu and Su Zinanâs trick?
After reading the two documents, Yun Xingze calmed down from shock.
He is very clear about the importance of this information. Itâs enough to make Chi Yu and Su Zinan face the risk of dropping out of school.
Itâs just that he doesnât quite understand why Luo Wenchuan wants to do this.
âSenior Luo, are you helping me?â Yun Xingze raised his eyes to Luo Wenchuan. He involuntarily pinched the data with his fingers. âIt took a lot of effort to collect these data, right?â
Luo Wenchuan didnât speak and looked at Yun Xingze with no emotion in his eyes.
Seeing that he did not express his position, Yun Xingze thought he was probably thinking too much. Maybe Luo Wenchuan just wanted to investigate these thingsâŚ
At this moment, Luo Wenchuan suddenly spoke, his voice was cold, but his tone was serious. âThe first document proves that you are innocent, but at the same time, the person who framed you can be punished.â
âThe second document is enough to invalidate the results of Chi Yu and Su Zinan, so that they face retirement. Itâs possible.â
Luo Wenchuan said so much in one breath, Yun Xingze couldnât help but slowly widen his eyes.
âI did want to do this,â Luo Wenchuan paused, and his slender fingers picked up a glass of water and took a sip. âHowever, I heard that when Su Zinan and Lu Ranxu were playing today, he did something very excessive again.â
It took Yun Xingze almost a second to understand the deep meaning of Luo Wenchuanâs words.
And this profound meaning, surprised and shocked Yun Xingze more than the previous information combined.
âSo, you meanâŚâ Yun Xingze asked tentatively, holding his breath.
âI am the captain of the school team, so I have a privilege,â Luo Wenchuan said calmly. âIn the campus mecha contest, in order to observe the strength of the seeded players of each grade, I can ask the organizer to arrange a match. Of course, there is only one privilege per season.â
Yun Xingzeâs conjecture was confirmed.
Luo Wenchuan really wanted toâŚ
âI will arrange for you and Su Zinan to meet in the fifth round.â Luo Wenchuan opened his lips lightly and said these words slowly, âIf you want.â
Yun Xingzeâs heart was beating quickly at this moment.
He was really considering how to avenge Lu Ranxu if he didnât meet Su Zinan in the next game.
But now, Luo Wenchuan seemed to see through all his thoughts and set this opportunity in front of him.
âOf course, you can also refuse and choose to let Su Zinan retire now.â Sipping water, Luo Wenchuan kept his eyes on Yun Xingze. âThe choice is yours.â
Yun Xingze swallowed.
He is now in estrus, and would be at a disadvantage against Su Zinan.
But he still wanted to challenge Su Zinan immediately.
So, in Luo Wenchuanâs gaze, Yun Xingze nodded slowly but firmly.
Luo Wenchuan stared at him for a moment, as if he was not surprised by this answer, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
Afterwards, he took out a box of inhibitors. The packaging was very delicate.
Luo Wenchuan looked at the inhibitors and slowly said: âThis is an inhibitor with no side effects.â
Lu Ranxu said that only the nobles can afford to use the inhibitor still being developed.
Luo Wenchuan actually took out a whole box directly!
Yun Xingze received too many surprises from Luo Wenchuan tonight. He even suspected that he was dreaming. Why did this cold and abstinent iceberg who feared omega help him to this point?
Yun Xingze tightened his fingers. He raised his eyes to look at Luo Wenchuan, and said seriously: âSenior Luo, you have helped me so much. I donât know how to repay you.â
âI said before, I want you to be my mecha master.â Luo Wenchuan lowered his eyes and said slowly, âHowever, you havenât responded to me for many days. So I was wondering⌠Is my sincerity insufficient?â
At this point, Luo Wenchuanâs voice gradually became softer, and his tone seemed a little low.
In fact, Luo Wenchuan has been waiting for Yun Xingze to find himself these days. But there has been no response yet. He even suspected Yun Xingze planned to become a mecha division for others.
Yun Xingze had no idea that Luo Wenchuan would say such a thing, and for a moment he could only stare at the other party in a daze.
âIf you agree, I will start with a salary of 300,000 per month.â Luo Wenchuan collected the emotions in his eyes, restored his calm, and said word by word. âRaises depend on your performance, but there is no cap.â
In fact, when Chi Yu offered 300,000 coins, Yun Xingze felt that the price was already very high, and no other students in the school would offer higher prices.
But now Luo Wenchuan showed him that there is still a mountain beyond mountains.
The words âno capâ were like a spell, turning Yun Xingze into a wooden chicken.
In the next second, Luo Wenchuan pushed the box of inhibitors, together with all the information, neatly in front of Yun Xingze.
Yun Xingze felt that his voice was so dry that it didnât feel like his own: âNo cap is too much, Senior LuoâŚâ
Luo Wenchuan leaned back, sat upright, and looked at Yun Xing with narrow eyes. His adamâs apple rolled, and his thin lips opened slightly: âThen do you think this kind of sincerity is enough, Yun xuedi?â
