Can you try out the competition?

Hearing this sentence in Tang Wuqiu's ears did not make him excited, but made him vigilant. If he remembers correctly, now that the competition has kicked off and the deadline for registration has passed, isn't Cao Yuanxi joking when he says this now?

Cao Yuanxi also knew that the other party would definitely not believe it as soon as he said this, he looked around, and then smiled: "I don't know if Senior Brother Tang has time to have a drink?" ”

Tang Wuqiu also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he readily agreed.

But as soon as he took a step, Tang Wuqiu noticed that Cao Yuanxi's gaze fell on Bai Suoluo's body.

"This ......" Cao Yuanxi had a little embarrassment on his face.

"What do you want to do with Brother Wuqiu? I will go wherever my brother goes! Bai Suo Luo changed his rather mature appearance in front of Tang Wuqiu at this moment, like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, looking at Cao Yuanxi with a puzzled and wary expression, "I want to protect Brother Wuqiu!" ”

Tang Wuqiu: "......" and so on, what's going on with this style of painting?

Cao Yuanxi was a little smiling at all, he bent down, his eyes were level with Bai Saluo, and he looked at Bai Saluo with two points of patience for ignorant children: "But, this little young lady, I have something very important to discuss with your brother." Why don't you let my brother and sister behind me take you to the playground to play? ”

"I don't want it!" Bai Suoluo's head shook like a rattle, she had long hair, and at this moment, because of the shaking, her hair flew, and she twitched Cao Yuanxi's face twice, and I don't know if it was really heavy or Cao Yuanxi's face was too tender, so there was a faint red mark.

"Ah, I'm sorry......" Tang Wuqiu also felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, he had already had an ordinary and ordinary relationship with Cao Yuanxi, but as a result, he seemed to be a little sorry for him.

"It's okay," Generally speaking, the attitude of the Dominator towards the obedient is very good, and the same is true for Cao Yuanxi, he stood up, about the same height as Tang Wuqiu, making it easy for him to express the request in his eyes, "Since this lovely little lady insists, then it is no problem to come together." ”

······

Cao Yuanxi chose an online virtual café.

It is worth mentioning that with the development of network technology and the improvement of holographic technology, people have also derived many online stores after using spiritual power to form virtual images in the network.

In these shops, people can do shopping or leisure – and of course, events like the Mecha Contest are no problem.

If you want to shop, you can buy virtual goods or physical goods - the latter only needs to try it on the Internet and feel satisfied, you can place an order, pay a fee for the virtual transformation of the entity, note the signatory and address, and the owner of the store will mail the physical goods to the customer's hands offline.

However, it is really impossible to virtually transform the physical entity in a café, but only rely on electrical stimulation and virtual signal pulses to make the customer's brain waves receive a conscious response about "tasting coffee".

This technology was originally designed for women who love beauty to lose weight - on the virtual network, you can eat without any scruples to satisfy your mouth, and without gaining weight, isn't it the best of both worlds?

Later, this gradually developed into a kind of popular culture, especially for people who didn't have time to get together because of the distance.

Cao Yuanxi chose a medium-sized café, the area is not large, but it is very distinctive, especially those simulated virtual green vines, which make people feel like they are in the forest, adding a bit of natural and soft atmosphere.

And in such an environment, no matter what kind of temper you have, you will become a little relaxed.

······

After ordering drinks for Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suoluo, Cao Yuanxi officially introduced the other two teammates who were with him.

Cao Yuanxi is a third-year student of the Mecha Command Department of Jialan Military Academy, and he is also a participant in this mecha competition.

He was joined by two other Dominators and three Obedience. The Dominator was his classmate of the same grade, and one of the Obedient was the cousin of one of his classmates, and the other was recruited on the Guò network.

“…… Is there only two? Tang Wuqiu wondered, he remembered that the participating teams he saw during the competition, most of the teams in a team had the same number of dominators and obedients, right? It is said that this is convenient for mutual help and one-on-one, so that there is no time for the obedient to be separated when the dominant person is in a situation at the same time during the fight.

It's the same as when you play a game, whether it's T or DPS, you have to have a nurse.

Hearing the doubts in Tang Wuqiu's words, the dominator who was introduced by Cao Yuanxi as Zhuang Shaofeng raised his eyebrows, and his tone was full of confidence in himself: "The rule of the game is that the number of obedient people cannot exceed the number of dominators, and there are no superfluous requirements for others." ”

In other words, even if you are a subordinate, you will not be able to bring it. However, for the sake of insurance, everyone is a one-to-one "standard", such as Cao Yuanxi, and it is very rare for them to have one less obedient than dominant in their team.

However, Cao Yuanxi probably didn't think as Zhuang Shaofeng did, he smiled slightly bitterly: "Actually, Ai Wei was a little injured this time. "Ivy is the obedient person that their team recruited on the Internet, a student at a university in another city - in the empire, each region is not divided according to the provincial and municipal level or the prefecture level of each major state, but the division of towns and villages is installed, and only the capital is not called so-and-so city.

When they first recruited, they said that the recruitment criteria were met, and Ivy did meet this condition. But they never expected that although Ivy has high mental power and is quite capable in mechas, she can almost top two of them, but she has a little "small problem" in real life.

It's true that Ivy is a college student, and there is no problem with her age, but what she didn't tell Cao Yuanxi is that her body in real life is seriously injured, and although she is out of danger, she is still recuperating from school. is also because she has to cooperate with her to recuperate, so her daily online time is fixed.

In the first round of the game, she secretly extended the time, but it was because of her disobedient behavior that she sounded the "alarm" in her recuperating body, and then was discovered by her family, and before they had time to cheer for victory after the game, Ivy was hurriedly forced off the line by her family.

And these situations are all just now Ivy sent a message to Cao Yuanxi to them.

Obviously, because Ivy made such a gesture of not caring for her body, her family was very angry, and directly suspended her Internet access. As a result, Ivy had no choice but to retire.

Therefore, if Ivy can no longer compete, Cao Yuanxi will only have one obedient person left in their team, that is, Zhuang Shaofeng's cousin Apsha.

And Apalsha is absolutely unable to juggle the three dominant players in the battle during the match.

······

"Ah, you guys are really unlucky......" Bai Suo Luo looked at Cao Yuanxi and them with a sympathetic expression, this couldn't be worse - there was a game of Cao Yuanxi's team in the live broadcast of the game she watched just now, to be honest, the three of them rarely used the supply of the obedient when fighting, which can be said to be very eye-catching. That doesn't mean they'll be able to do that for the rest of the game, especially if they're playing against a one-to-one combination of dominator and obedience.

It is important to know which two teams are assigned in each round, but there will never be a situation where three Dominators will play against one Dominator team, unless it is in the final round.

Although this has never happened since the Mecha Tournament was held.

This also shows that in the following games, Cao Yuanxi and they must be opponents with three dominators, and in the later games, not only the battle of the dominators occupies an important score, but the maintenance, transformation, repair, assembly, etc. of the obedient teammate's mecha are also the assessment content.

If Cao Yuanxi still had the confidence that they might sprint to the championship before, then the appearance of Ivy's episode made their entire team directly lose the possibility of winning in the next round.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Cao Yuanxi smiled bitterly.

"But even so, Yuanxi, you can't just find someone to make up the numbers, right?" Zhuang Shaofeng is probably a very "upright" person, he blurted out directly without considering the effect of saying this sentence at all. Or maybe he actually knew, but he just made the situation clear and made it difficult for Tang Wu to retreat.

He had just heard the self-introduction of these two people, although he studied mecha design and manufacturing at Jialan University, he was just a freshman who had only been enrolled for a few months, and his cousin Apasha was a second-year student in this major, so he knew that in the first semester of his freshman year, this major was basically pure theoretical knowledge, not even a little skin, even if he was a sophomore, it was just an entry. The main reason why my cousin can be so good is that their family is good and resourceful, and they can get in touch with this kind of education after becoming a dominant.

So in his opinion, Tang Wuqiu not only can't help, but is very likely to drag his feet.

As for Bai Suoluo, who introduced himself as Tang Wuqiu's distant cousin Tang Luoluo...... It's just a hairy child who is still in middle school, and he can't get into his eyes at all.

This is all thanks to Bai Saluo's dislike of socializing and Bai Lao's protection of his precious granddaughter, so now Bai Saluo has the name of a genius and is Bai Lao's granddaughter, but other things such as looks are unknown to the outside world.

Without waiting for Cao Yuanxi to speak, Bai Suo Luo also coaxed and said, "Hmph, you just do it casually!" I've already signed up for the competition, but I want to change people halfway! This is obviously breaking the rules of the game! ”

Cao Yuanxi had just calmed down the feelings of his teammates, and when he turned his head, he heard Bai Suoluo's words, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You're right, according to the rules of the game, our team has already determined the team members, but everyone doesn't want this to happen." And Ivy is the most uncomfortable ...... among them" Speaking of this, Cao Yuanxi's soft face showed a trace of sadness, and then raised his head and said to Tang Wuqiu, "But I don't want Senior Brother Tang to take Ivy's place, you just need to help us take a place in the second round." ”

······

"Brother Wuqiu, you don't really want to help that Cao Yuanxi, right?" After separating from the café, Tang Wuqiu and Bai Suo Luo went offline, but although they did not use the Internet, they communicated and chatted with Guò on the light brain.

Cao Yuanxi asked Tang Wu for help, but he didn't ask him to take Aiwei's place, the so-called "taking a position" has nothing to do with Aiwei, and there is another obedient person who has not yet been determined.

In other words, Cao Yuanxi and they plan to find another "teammate".

But because of the tight schedule, the second round starts tomorrow, and it is actually very hurried for them to confirm a player in such a short period of time - because once it is confirmed, it cannot be changed.

Considering that the second round of the competition will not be too difficult for the time being, Cao Yuanxi's plan is to ask one obedient to fill the "façade" first, and then find another obedient to fill the vacancy of the sixth person at that time - to keep their team at five people at any time.

You must know that if the number of people changes during the race, you will also be warned or even withdrawn from the race.

"I'm probably just going to be a vase or make soy sauce, right?" To be honest, Tang Wuqiu was actually quite tempted, because he wanted to participate in the mecha competition at the beginning, but he didn't have the opportunity for various reasons.

"But you're not worth it." Bai Suo Luo still knew Tang Wuqiu's level quite well, and the "hum" she had made in just two months was enough for her to be impressed by her senior brother - in her opinion, Tang Wuqiu was more suitable for the title of "genius" than herself.

Because of this blind belief, Bai Suluo felt that Tang Wuqiu's situation of "silently sacrificing as a spare tire" was not fair to Tang Wuqiu at all.

But Tang Wuqiu didn't think so.

However, you have to ask in advance whether this situation is considered a "violation".

"Violations shouldn't be counted, after all, it's not a master to join, and you don't want to ask your brother to meet the entry criteria......" Bai Sara Luo said, "Otherwise, I'll ask Grandpa, he is one of the final judges of the mecha competition, and he should know about these very well!" ”

······

When Tang Wuqiu was discussing with Bai Suoluo, Cao Yuanxi was also facing Zhuang Shaofeng's questioning.

"Yuanxi, don't you have a crush on that kid? Although that kid is indeed good-looking, but at the moment of the game, he can't be mistaken by beauty! We've been preparing for this competition for more than two years! Zhuang Shaofeng is also a noble young master, because of his family background, there are few situations that make him "think twice" before he speaks, so his attitude towards speaking is also very straightforward.

"It's because I've been preparing for more than two years." This time it was another teammate who had been silent all along, Sander Butterfield, who was a taciturn pragmatist.

"It's still that Sander understands me," Cao Yuanxi said, and then smiled at Zhuang Shaofeng before he got angry, "Just like Sander said, it's precisely because we've been preparing for more than two years that we can't let everyone in our team miss a good opportunity because of Ivy's mistakes." Not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

"Who said that Senior Brother Tang is just used to make up the numbers?"

Cao Yuanxi's tone was so determined that Zhuang Shaofeng looked away a little uncomfortably - how could his good buddy look like an obedient person (girl) when he smiled?

"But, Yuanxi, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules to do so? When the time comes, we will ...... qualified for the competition," Sander didn't speak much, but he always hit the nail on the head when he spoke.

"But there's no rule that we can't do that, can we? We're just playing a little hole, and we're not trying to replace him for all the games, it's just a rush, and I'm sure no one knows. Cao Yuanxi was full of confidence.

"But...... We don't know if that Tang Wuqiu will answer or not. Zhuang Shaofeng had actually been persuaded by Cao Yuanxi, but when he thought of Tang Wuqiu's appearance that he still didn't say anything when they were separated, he was a little dissatisfied, "Otherwise, let's find someone else...... No, what if Tang Wuqiu leaks our conversation by then? ”

When Zhuang Shaofeng said this, he was already thinking about how to seal Tang Wuqiu's mouth.

"Don't worry, this won't happen." Cao Yuanxi curled the corners of his mouth.

Zhuang Shaofeng was still wondering where Cao Yuanxi got his confidence, but the next morning, he received a notice that the mecha competition was suspended.

Just when he felt very incomprehensible and irritable, another message ...... In other words, the answer to his doubts has been swiped on the hot search on the Internet.

The Federal Republic Study Exchange Group arrived at the Imperial Space Harbor at 7 o'clock this morning, and after hearing that the Imperial was holding a mecha competition, they were very interested and made a request to "meet friends" with mechas.

·······

"Mechs to make friends?" It was the first time Tang Wuqiu had heard such a statement.

"It's just that I want to find an opportunity to provoke, and Qiuqiu doesn't care about those guys who are idle and have nothing to do." Saroman didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and all his attention was focused on Tang Wuqiu's slender and flexible hands with almost no flaws.

#这双手我可以玩一年(*/w╲*)#

Tang Wuqiu felt a little uncomfortable, because Saloman's gaze at his fingers was too hot, and he always felt that his eyes were actually licking/licking his fingers...... Hehe, probably a delusion, right?

Clamping a small gear as thick as a hair into the position where it should have stayed with mental power, Tang Wuqiu withdrew his hand and picked up the parts on the other side: "But the mecha competition has stopped because of this?" ”

"There's no way, how can the mecha competition be held casually at this time? Even if it were held normally, I don't know what the meetings of the Federal Republic would play again. Saroman said this, but he didn't care what the other person's attitude was.

Tang Wuqiu stopped his movements: "Didn't you say that the empire and the republic are friends?" Doesn't he remember that the encyclopedia says that the Jialan Empire and the Federal Republic are two polities that inhabit the two halves of the butterfly-shaped planet Gaia?

Saroman was slightly stunned for a moment, then he smiled lightly and kissed Tang Wuqiu's rosy lips: "Baby, how can you be so innocent and cute!" ”

Tang Wuqiu, who was sneak attacked, didn't care, but his face darkened because of Saloman's words - obviously, he didn't think Saroman was praising him for being "naïve" at this time.

Seeing that Tang Wuqiu seemed to have signs of anger, Saroman [makeup powder, that is, the incense powder used for makeup, is divided into □□ and red powder. In the Zhou Dynasty, people already knew that the noodles were made of rice flour, and most of the noodles used at that time were made of rice flour. In addition to rice flour, lead powder was also invented in the Qin and Han dynasties. The invention of new things must be related to the development of production technology at that time. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Taoist alchemy prevailed, and Qin Shi Huang sought to recruit "elixir" everywhere in order to live forever. The development of alchemy, coupled with the improvement of smelting technology in the Han Dynasty, gave the invention of lead powder the technical conditions and made it popular as a cosmetic. Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty has "Affection Fu": "Thinking is in the face and is lead, and suffering is separated from the spirit and there is no light." "In language, a new vocabulary is often born with the emergence of new concepts or new things. The use of the term lead in Han Dynasty literature is by no means accidental, and it should be a reflection of the social existence of lead powder. Lead powder is usually made of lead, tin and other materials, which are converted into powder after chemical treatment, and the main component is basic lead carbonate. Lead powder can be found in two forms: solid and paste. Solids are often processed or tile shaped and silver ingot-shaped, called "tile powder" or "fixed (ingot) powder"; The paste is commonly known as "Hu (paste) powder" or "gouache". Han Liuxi's "Interpretation of Names and Jewelry": "Hu Fen. Hu, paste also, fat and paste like paste, to coat the face also. Therefore, some people think that "Hu Fen" is the powder of Hu people, which is not right. Lead powder can make people's appearance brighter, so it is also known as "lead flower".

In addition to white makeup powder, the Han Dynasty also had red makeup powder, which was used to make up the cheeks. Han Liuxi's "Interpretation of Names and Jewelry": "Powder, powder, red, dyeing powder to make red, to cheeks." The second part of "Nineteen Ancient Poems" wrote: "E'e has red and pink makeup, and she has no hands." ”

In addition to powdered noodles, the Han Dynasty also had a powder for the body, which was usually made into powder, spiced, and sprinkled on the body after bathing, which had a cool and smooth effect. It is mostly used in summer. In the Han Dynasty Lingxuan's "Biography of Zhao Feiyan", it was written: "After bathing in the five aggregates and seven spiced soups, standing in the incense sinking water seat; …… Jieyu bathed in cardamom soup, Fu Luhua Baiying powder. ”】
