Chapter 18 Sure enough, the benefits did not come for nothing
That's right, these old ghosts who have lived for hundreds of years once again felt the feeling of blood boiling.
The long life makes them indifferent to this world, except for some people who have embarked on the road of madness because of their curiosity, those who can keep their mood and sanity are indifferent hermits, but the agitated scene of mecha fighting reminds them of the time when the blood clan was majestic and prominent.
At that time, there were also many people who used gladiatorial fights to flatter vampires, and this was one of the long-lasting entertainment of vampires, and the other entertainment was probably hunting.
But there are no gladiatorial fights in modern society, as for boxing MMA and other fighting competitions - hey, what is the gladiatorial fight of the undead?
Although mecha fighting is not dead, there is destruction, the collision of steel and fire, the gladiatorial fight of elegance and strength, the fanatical crowd, the decadence of the loser, and the glory of the winner, these are all the charm of gladiatorial competition...... Although there is no wail of death, and there are no blood-drenched scenes, it is enough!
How could such an interesting thing be depressed because of the opposition of stupid human politicians, so before Nissa could say what kind of benefits this kind of contest had, these old guys who had lived for many years were generous and said that it was a good thing, and everyone should support it.
As a result, a strange situation emerged that made the Big Three nervous, and even the South and West Coasts joined the Mecha Fighting Tournament under the impetus of some kind of force, which was originally just a club exchange tournament organized by a non-governmental organization (although the scale was larger), and it became a new event at the national level.
As for Nissa's grudges, it's obvious that things have been bad in New York City lately, and the vampires are living in fear, and they are relieved that the would-be heroes who are so full of responsibility (and well-fed) have been sent out that they're finally sent out.
In fact, the vampires in New York City are still alive and well, at least the life is colorful, and in today's technologically advanced society, a low-level vampire is found to die, which is nothing more than early death and late death, and who dies in whose hands - I heard that there have been unlucky people who have been arrested as inhumans, and it is estimated that they also died on the experimental table.
Without magic, vampires have no advantage over mechwarriors in sharp clothes, and even if they use the same mecha, the effect is about the same, which makes the younger generation crazy and confused, and the older generation worried.
They can't stop the development of the times, the only way is to blend in, come to the North American Eagle, the family that was still the "exile land" back then, are all reformers among the vampires, they are different from their fellow people trapped in Europa, there is no resistance to changing the state of life, and they do not feel that it is an honor to live in an ancient castle that did not have electric lights four hundred years ago.
In particular, someone got Osborne Industries' skateboard suit by means, and they found that this series of mecha actually still requires the user's physical fitness, and the skateboardless version now used by the military is just a performance reduction to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Defense.
They also confirmed from other aspects that the original skateboard suit was actually developed as an accessory to equip the abilities of super soldiers, but the human enhancement potion as the main body has now progressed, but it is not satisfactory, and the degree of enhancement is not as high as expected, but the matching mecha is unexpectedly successful.
This is actually borrowed from the light of Iron Man, if it weren't for Stark's flying around every day, the Ministry of Defense would not have paid so much attention to mechas-skateboard suits have been denied once a long time ago, on the grounds that it is difficult to manipulate, didn't anyone think that they could study and study it again at that time? No, it is not that it is easy to think that human body strengthening is the right way, and mechas or anything with the help of external forces are evil......
This is nothing for vampires, their individual strength to manipulate the original skateboard suit cannot be said to be more than enough, but there is no pressure, the current suit is much stronger than the original version, it is simply tailor-made for their clan - the whole body is closed, and even the sun is not afraid!
They believe that as long as the mecha competition continues to develop, better and more suitable mecha will soon appear, and they can even recruit some talents with talent in this field to do related research full-time - why hasn't anyone thought of this method before? Vampires' creative ability is still far behind that of humans.
But doing good deeds without leaving a name is not the style of vampires, since they have done so much help, not only showing sincerity, but also highlighting muscles, then, it is time to take advantage, they want to hold the hosting of the tournament in their hands, in other words, they want to kick Oranides out, at least, not dominantly.
It's a pity that they started late, the competition system and everything have already been prepared, and the referees, venues, and even the live broadcast rights are all done overnight - they are simply transplanted from the King of Martial Arts, and they are all natural - so fast that not to mention vampires, even the government is confused.
Almost on the day the approval document was issued, there was publicity on the Internet, and within a week, there were even TV commercials, and even Super Town TV was promoted, which was originally the latest trend, and it seemed to have been detonated all at once.
Fortunately on the east coast and in the north, although they have not been in contact with mecha for a long time, they are often seen, and they are also small in the folk mecha clubs, but because of the short promotion time, they can only be regarded as niche players, but they are not small.
But the south and west coasts are completely confused, and the people have a feeling that they have changed their days overnight, what is the mecha competition? In addition to Iron Man flying around all day long, is there anyone else studying mechas? Haven't you heard of it?
This is also one of the confidence of the vampire elders, without the care of these local snakes, it may not be easy for a few leading companies to promote in the south where there is no popular base now.
The vampire families in the north are all headed by the Damaginos family, but because they live in industrial cities, they are far inferior to southerners in terms of number and age, and even because there are more tourist cities on the west coast, they can feed more vampires, they are not comparable.
So the only conditions for survival are unity, secrecy, more commercialization, and collectivization, and only in this way can the right to survive in the ever-increasing superhuman race, which is something that the southern vampires who hide in the countryside, come out and go around when hungry, and have no enemies but the sun cannot comprehend.
Just like the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, there are many differences between the vampires of the North and the South.
So Nissa was sent by the Presbyterian Church to ask for favors from Oranides, but the female vampire who knew how deep the pool was was sold out of the Southerners.
