Chapter 1271 Opening Ceremony (Additional update for Silver League leader Andy Bear) (Third update)
"Respect Colonel Su Mo, please go to the competition area reserve base No. 1 Shipyard on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, take the designated nut, go to the Timaklo Star Competition Arena, and participate in the opening ceremony. The Lord of Ikaroa will be there in person Please be especially reminded to wear the military uniforms of Halo City at the scene.”
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hao asked curiously.
"Nothing, I will attend the opening ceremony tomorrow, please help me keep an eye on the mecha."
Su Mo replied simply.
"Okay."
Zhang Hao nodded quickly and responded.
Early next morning.
Su Mo arrived at the No. 1 shipyard on time.
The entire shipyard was extremely lively, with all the contestants and related staff arriving.
As soon as Su Mo came in, he felt several strange eyes looking at him.
There was a look in it that made Su Mo feel very oppressive.
He followed his gaze and saw a man standing there wearing a lieutenant general uniform, two meters tall, with strong muscles all over his body, eyes as sharp as an eagle, and a pair of special mechanical gloves on his hands.
Su Mo's brows jumped slightly. For a contestant with such a high military rank, it is obvious that this guy should be the third prince of the Machinery Empire, Grillos.
Su Mo then squinted at the other people observing him.
The first to bear the brunt is the player from the Machine Empire, that is, Luo Qi.
He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Not far away, a woman with a heroic appearance and clear eyes, wearing a colonel's military uniform, glanced at Su Mo for a few times, then said with a smile to her companion.
"Is that the Su Mo that Lady Xia Weiya mentioned? He does look like a talented person. I wonder if he is really as strong as Lady Xia Weiya said."
"Lord An Yin, you still have to be careful. Sir Xia Weiya's high evaluation of the other party is definitely not groundless. If you look carefully, you will find that more than half of the people are paying attention to him. After all, he is the biggest disadvantage in this competition. Stability factor.”
"I know."
"Su Mo."
While Su Mo was observing the people present, Wang Hai and Thulis walked over.
"Wang Hai, Thulis."
When Su Mo saw that he was an old friend, he stepped forward to hug and greet him.
At this moment, an officer wearing a major general's uniform came out and shouted to everyone.
"Everyone aboard."
So everyone walked towards the ship.
Not long after, the Nut ship slowly sailed out of the base and flew towards the stars.
In the starry sky, the Nut ship was heading towards the center of the Laurel Kingdom and the Machine Wreck Empire.
As they got closer, Su Mo and others looked at the past through the transparent windows.
The arena with a clear view of the Timaklo starry sky.
Su Mo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and secretly thought it was such a big deal.
To put it bluntly, the entire arena is made of an all-metal planet, with the surface directly flattened and hardened.
Its area is spacious enough to allow mechas to fight unscrupulously.
And there are many special devices installed inside the entire arena, such as gravity devices, floating devices, regional life support devices, etc.
Soon the ship arrived at the Timakro Star Arena.
When Su Mo and the others got off the ship, they could see that a large number of ships had docked at the scene.
The flags of different countries are spray-painted on these ships. It can be seen that they are all from different countries. They should be representatives of various countries invited to participate in the opening ceremony.
At this time, holographic image capture balls flew over from the top of the starry sky.
These devices have been put into various locations for debugging.
The originally deserted arena was now extremely lively, with a large number of people gathered here, and everyone was in high spirits discussing the upcoming game.
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"I'm telling you, it's none of our business who wins. After all, our country is definitely hopeless. I only care about the result of the game I'm playing."
"That makes sense. Who did you defeat in the first round?"
"Nonsense, of course it was Hiss who defeated the High Motos Empire. His strength is obvious to all."
"I don't think I can make much money if I win against Hiss. The odds are very low!"
"Then you win by overpowering the opponent. The odds are very high."
"Tch, I'm not a fool. It's better to earn less than lose everything."
Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.
“It’s really a national carnival, it’s crazy enough.”
Wang Hai, who was standing aside, frowned and snorted coldly and said: "Such a sacred event has made this bunch of bettors miserable."
"Haha, it's okay. By the way, let me take a look at your bets."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
"What's there to see?"
Wang Hai said nonchalantly.
"Let me take a look. Don't worry, it's okay. I'll definitely beat you to win."
Su Mo joked while opening the Star Ring Forum to check Wang Hai's battle and the financial bets of both parties.
Soon he saw eye-catching data.
Wang Hai VS Ahaner
Wang Hai’s bet: 222.1 billion star coins.
Ahan'er's bet capital: 282.3 billion star coins.
"Why so few."
Su Mo couldn't help but complain.
"What's so strange? It's not a popular match. Moreover, there are 24 preliminaries taking place at the same time, with a total of 48 people, so the betting amount is spread out."
Thewlis replied with a smile.
"Let me take a look at Heath. He should be a favorite."
Su Mo immediately called up Heath's betting information.
Hiss's first battle was against Gei, the Second Breeding Place, the Country of Mist.
The bet amounts of both parties were 1,211.2 billion star coins and 192.1 billion star coins.
"His vs. Princess Geyi, and Heath's bet is too harsh. I won't make a few cents with this bet."
Su Mo was stunned for a moment and said helplessly.
"We are not fools. We will definitely analyze the historical records of both sides. It is obvious that Hiss is stronger than Guey. Who would you beat?"
Thulis said calmly.
"You shouldn't have suppressed it too, right?"
Su Mo looked at Xiulis curiously.
"I didn't even pressure myself. I pressured Heath entirely. I can make a little bit of it."
Thulis admitted to Su Mo gracefully.
While Su Mo and the others were chatting.
Suddenly, the huge starry sky arena suddenly shook, and the thick metal hardened ground in the center area began to crack.
Then a metal platform slowly raised.
At the same time, with the raised metal platform as the center, temporary viewing platforms were raised around it.
In an instant, a small venue was born.
The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet, and representatives from various countries present quickly entered the venue.
As for Su Mo and others, their wristbands vibrated, and reminder messages appeared one after another.
Su Mo and others glanced at it and walked towards the back of the small venue.
When they came to the backcourt, they saw a very short little girl wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant in the City of Stars, sweating profusely and anxiously explaining to everyone. (End of chapter)
