Chapter 9: Opponents
[Thursday After School]
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
Magnetic Storm still followed Ming Hao's instructions and came to this open space on time to practice martial arts with Scatter. No, it's not so much martial arts training as wrestling training. All we could see was the tragic appearance of the magnetic storm being thrown to the ground again and again, and we could hear his wail. I've been practicing for two days now, and I don't seem to be making any progress at the moment.
"Magnetic storm, you give me some gas!" Guo Minghao shouted, "Stand up, you're still not a man!" ”
"Well, this, although my appearance has been made into male features, strictly speaking, robots have no gender." Magnetic Storm said.
"Don't talk about those useless things, just tell me if you can do it?"
"Woo, the baby is bitter~" Magnetic Storm pouted to express his emotions.
I don't know what kind of emotion it is, I just know that we were disgusted by the way he looked.
"Ahh I want to die. Guo Minghao covered his face and looked up to the sky.
"Haha, there's a lot of potential, although it's not in martial arts."
"Don't worry, there's still time." I comforted Guo Minghao, "If you practice for a little longer, you will definitely be able to have a magnetic storm." ”
"Well, hopefully." Guo Minghao's tone changed to calm, "Let's go upstairs first and let them be alone for a while." I have other things to tell you. ”
In the living room, Guo Minghao set the screen of my TV to handwriting mode, and then used the remote control to raise the TV slightly.
"What's so grand?"
"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. In addition to our own creative opportunities, we also need to understand the creative opportunities of our opponents. ”
"The opponent... Do you already know who the contestants are? ”
"Well, I heard a few from my dad and my own research over the past few days. As of today's registration deadline, there are more than 420 contestants in this competition, an increase of 5 times compared to last year, and the competition will be very fierce, so you should be mentally prepared. ”
"This is mainly due to the popularity of the price reduction of the creative machine, and now there are more and more people who have the creative machine." Xiao Ye sighed to himself as he spoke.
"Don't be sad, you'll have it sooner or later." I say.
"About 70% of the players are students from the 8th school, and they are also our main opponents."
"After all, it is a leading school in the field of scientific research, and the proportion of people who are keen on creating intellectual opportunities is definitely higher than that of ordinary universities; And because it is a prestigious school, there are many students from better families who can afford the cost of creating a smart machine. ”
"Let's talk about the players in each school that we need to focus on. First of all, we have our own school, and the people who are worth paying attention to at present are Nangong Wangchuan, Nangong Xiao, and Wei Sihan. ”
"Nangong Wangchuan's Qinglong will not participate in this competition, so there are actually Nangong Xiao and Wei Sihan left."
"Wei Sihan, the student president, is a well-known scholar in the school, and his creative wit sometimes helps Wei Sihan deal with affairs in the student union, and many people have seen it."
"Well, it's still a relatively rare female appearance intelligence machine, and I'm quite impressed."
"I've heard of Xuanji's ability, which belongs to the [liquefaction] of the organic system."
"That's right, Xuanji's specially made body surface tissue mixed with metal mercury can liquefy any body part or body, combining rigidity and softness, and his movements are extremely flexible, and ordinary attacks can't score on him." Guo Minghao said as he wrote the main points about this smart machine on the display screen.
"Generally speaking, it is a machine with very strong defensive means, so his weakness lies in the weak offensive means." Xiao Ye tried to speculate.
"Not really. Liquefied arms and legs can wrap around an opponent like a snake, and it is very difficult to get rid of him once it is entangled. ”
"That's a bug."
"Not only that, but the liquefaction ability does not have the time interval limit of the operation like scattering and magnetic storms, and can be activated freely and continuously. In addition to the fact that liquefaction of the whole body consumes a lot of energy, the liquefaction of some organs does not consume much energy. As long as Xuanji's energy was not exhausted, it was almost impossible to defeat him. ”
"Although time stillness and magnetic field control are effective for Xuanji, the opportunities are extremely limited, and even if he can be suppressed for a while, he has no certainty of victory." I say.
"Let's talk about the next one, your Nangong Xiao." Xiao Ye suddenly changed the topic and looked at Guo Minghao with a smile.
"What the truth is nonsense!" Guo Minghao, who was still serious just now, suddenly smirked.
"Nangong Xiao's machine was only bought at the recent auction, does she need our special attention?" I asked.
"Well, it's not that we pay special attention, it's that he pays special attention." Xiao Ye pouted at Guo Minghao with his mouth and said.
"Oh, I see. Okay, carry private goods, you. ”
"Hee-hee, let me be willful a little?"
"Okay, let's listen."
"Ahem." Guo Minghao pretended to be calm, "Nangong Xiaoxiao's machine is called Shuofeng, and it has an air-based ability [Air Cannon], which can condense and compress a part of the air around it, and then shoot it out like a cannon. ”
"Yo, it's all called Xiaoxiao." Xiao Ye teased.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." Guo Minghao scratched his scalp and said.
"This ability is not to be underestimated, and the range is long and the lethality is not low. Moreover, shells formed by invisible air are difficult to observe and dodge. In the end, it is an auction, and the creative machine issued there is still slightly stronger than the one at the ordinary sale. ”
"A young lady like her must have directly quoted the highest price that others couldn't reach, and she easily auctioned Shuofeng."
"I'm suddenly curious what will happen if you two fight each other?" Xiao Ye bumped Guo Minghao with his arm and said.
"I didn't know at first that she had signed up too, well... If it's right, I'll deliberately let her go. Guo Minghao said with a grin.
"Cut, even if you don't release water, you may not be able to win her."
"And aren't you going to make it to the top four and face her brother in the Challenger? If you lose to her in the knockout round...", I thought of another layer of problems.
"I can't beat my brother, but I was beaten by my sister, and it's a good story to spread it." Xiao Ye unleashed his "ability", poisonous tongue.
"Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you."
"Alright, let's move on to the other players." I cut off the smoke of gunfire for both of them.
"And then there's Xinghai Academy.,There are also a lot of predictions for dark horse players this year.。 Except for Donglin Yu, who did not participate, the known rivals are Su Shaoqing, Wang Luize, and Huang Kaijie. ”
"Su Shaoqing should be the most noteworthy of this."
"That's right, the quarterfinals of last year's competition, the master of Ruilin." I say.
"Ruilin's ability is the [Tracking Beam] of the light wave system, which emits light from the eye or palm with an automatic lock function, and once any target is locked by the light, it is basically impossible to escape." Guo Minghao clicked on the screen to erase what he had written before, and began to write about Ruilin.
"However, looking at last year's quarterfinals, his level of ability at that time didn't seem to be very proficient, so he lost to his opponent White Tiger and didn't make it to the semifinals." Xiao Ye said.
"Probably because Ruilin is the first developed intelligent machine, there are still small defects in performance, and Su Shaoqing has just obtained Ruilin at that time. But he can still win the top eight in a non-perfect state, which is enough to see how terrible his strength is. Guo Minghao said.
"Besides, Ruilin has been sent back to the tip for improvement after that, and now his performance problems are no longer there, and it will only be more difficult to deal with." I added.
"Next is Ichichi University, and it is speculated that Ichichi's strongest seeded player other than the Northern Underworld Tour is, Tang Haiyu."
"Tang Yuan, the first person in the field of AI and the director of the cutting-edge department, must have designed the most outstanding intellectual machine for his daughter."
"At present, the only known information is the name of the Zhiji, Breaking the Army. Since Tang Haiyu has never appeared in public with the broken army, this Chuangzhi machine is very mysterious, including its appearance and ability, which few people know. ”
"Maybe the Tang family did it deliberately, in order not to let any opponent investigate him before the game and preserve his strength."
"Well, you can't make an effective strategy if you don't know it."
……
Our pre-war meetings continued, and we also had many strong rivals at the city's three universities, the fifth national university, Shinto University, Puchuan University, and Guangmu University. It will not be easy, but I believe that he will not be defeated easily.
[Downstairs open space]
Magnet's punch hit Scattered in the chest for the first time.
"Yes, there is progress, come again!"
Scatter then fell over the shoulder, and the magnetic storm flew out again......
