It is a matter of course for auxiliary IA players to maintain IA on the field, after all, repairing IA is the meaning of the existence of auxiliary IA, so from this point alone, it directly affirms Hu Xiaopeng's maintenance behavior on the field.

As for why it has attracted praise from many people, it is not because in some cases, the current rules of the Pro Qualifier are not very fair for support IA players, whether it is online or offline.

Maybe players are allowed to choose any type of IA to participate in the online competition, but who would choose a support IA that is very weak in both attack and action?

Offensive players, when driving the standard IA, can use the longsword equipped with IA with ease, and this is the fundamental reason why the number of offensive players at all levels of clubs is much higher than other types of players.

For defensive players and firepower players, although the standard IA is not equipped with corresponding low-explosive grenades and sniper guns, there are still standard rifles and pistols that can be used, even if the damage of ammunition to IA is not high, but it is better than nothing, and you can still fight a medium and long-range scale raid war.

Therefore, after counting it carefully, only air combat players and support players have no way to use their familiar tactics and abilities in the qualifying round, and this leads to the fact that most air combat players are actually transferred from offensive players and defensive players, and few of them are aimed at air combat players from the beginning, otherwise, air combat players will not have good ground combat capabilities.

The only problem that arose after this announcement was that many people wanted to increase the air combat capabilities of the standard IA to balance the ability of air combat IA players in the qualifying tournament and increase the proportion of air combat players in the league.

However, in the face of this appeal of netizens, both the IA Alliance and the Organizing Committee of the competition have maintained their previous silent attitude, just as some people wanted to load low-explosive grenades for the standard IA before, and completely ignored it.

As for the reason, the official statement is that the control ability of the contestants is uneven, and the addition of anti-gravity devices and low-explosive grenades and other equipment is not conducive to ensuring the personal safety of the contestants and the audience.

But in fact, people are more willing to believe that increasing the configuration of these weapons will increase the investment cost of the tournament committee and the IA League.

After all, the aggregate energy consumed by the anti-gravity device cannot be estimated, and the low-explosive grenade also requires a certain procurement cost, plus it will increase the operation and maintenance expenses in terms of maintenance, so the IA alliance is unwilling to pay more money for these weapons and equipment, otherwise, some of the second-generation IAs that should have been eliminated a long time ago will not appear again in the third-generation IA that has been popularized after modification.

Of course, it may be that from the current situation, air combat players still have unfair treatment in professional qualifiers, but for support IA players, the appearance of this announcement has brought an impact that cannot be ignored in the future.

Because it not only allowed the IA League to surge many auxiliary IA players in the following years, but even in most clubs, they have specially prepared the same model of standard IA as the qualifiers, in order to allow those players who focus on auxiliary IA to be familiar with these standard IAs that are not auxiliary IAs as much as possible before the qualifiers, and understand how to train them to disassemble other eliminated IAs, which are used as parts to replace their own battle damage parts, etc.

This is a change, and it is also a spring for auxiliary IA players, not only the number of people who have paid attention to this matter on the Internet has exceeded hundreds of thousands, but even the broadcast screen in the arena has been specially set aside for Hu Xiaopeng, always paying attention to his every move.

But Hu Xiaopeng, as the initiator of this incident, didn't know what was happening outside the arena at this time, because at this time, although he had already entered the third demarcated competitive area, but within a few minutes of his entry, that is, the seventieth minute of the game, the fourth demarcated competitive area was announced again.

I don't know if it's because Hu Xiaopeng has just done a good thing for all the auxiliary IA players, or if it's just luck, Hu Xiaopeng, who has been running outside the safety zone since the start of the competition, finally doesn't need to cross the arena again, because Hu Xiaopeng at this time is on the edge of the fourth demarcated competition area, and it is a "feng shui treasure land" that absolutely does not have to worry about being attacked by the enemy, so it is no wonder that Hu Xiaopeng will sit in the cockpit and laugh.

With 40% of the IA comprehensive loss value, coupled with the advantage of being in the safety zone at this time, Hu Xiaopeng can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just waiting for the fifth and final limited area to be announced.

Finding a comfortable and safe place to hide was the only thing Hu Xiaopeng had to do at this time, and he did it.

It's just that the location he is looking for is not a relatively safe place, but an open place that has experienced the baptism of battle a long time ago, as for why he chose this place, the answer is very simple, naturally because although the two in this open field no longer emit black smoke, but still continue to flicker sparks of elimination IA.

Move the two IAs that are not far apart together, and then not only disassemble most of the usable parts of the two IAs, but also learn how to do it in the rematch, scattering these parts on your body as a hide, and then sit here unhurriedly and replace them.

Replace the armor outside the IA, this is currently the most convenient way to increase the comprehensive loss value of IA, not only because it is very easy to replace, but also because the armor is an important part of the protection system, and replacing the armor is equivalent to improving the parameter value of the protection system.

As for the mechanical components and electronic components inside other IA, although Hu Xiaopeng also wants to replace them, but the hands of this standard IA are really clumsy, even if Hu Xiaopeng is confident that he has this ability, then the demand for time and accessories is not enough to meet the replacement requirements.

And in Hu Xiaopeng's view, the improvement effect brought by replacing these things is really not as convenient and crisp as replacing armor, so Hu Xiaopeng's maintenance work at this time is mainly focused on replacing armor, as for other places, if you have time, you can repair it, if you don't have time, you can do whatever you want, and it won't affect you anyway.

Ten minutes of announcement time, ten minutes of execution time, plus ten minutes of the fifth announcement, the shortest time left for Hu Xiaopeng is more than 20 minutes, so of course Hu Xiaopeng can't just stay where he is.

It's just that even if he left the open field just now in the seventy-sixth minute, the place where he stopped again was not far from the open field, because in a forest that seemed to have just ended the battle, an IA that had also been eliminated, but only lost its mobility and control system, attracted Hu Xiaopeng's attention.

Perhaps what initially attracted Hu Xiaopeng was the almost perfect armor on this IA, but as Hu Xiaopeng approached this IA, especially when he found out the player number of this IA, Hu Xiaopeng had to sigh that this arena was really too small, and he actually ran into an acquaintance again.

And this acquaintance is none other than You Jian, who was on the same team with him in the semifinals and took the initiative to ask Ying to be the team commander.

"Hey, didn't you fall asleep......"

Leaning over to get close to You Jian's IA, turning on the communicator, and after entering You Jian's player number, Hu Xiaopeng said with a loud smile to You Jian.

"It's a small ...... Xpeng? How do you use the communicator? You're not afraid of being ...... by the referee."

"Don't be afraid, I glanced at the rules of the game a few times last night, and it said that players are not allowed to communicate privately in the individual competition, and it didn't say that the players in the competition and the eliminated players are not allowed to talk and chat."

"Knock out? This...... Oh, okay. ”

Hearing Hu Xiaopeng's explanation, although You Jian didn't know whether this was a violation, he had to reluctantly accept Hu Xiaopeng's explanation, after all, even if it was really a violation, the first violation was a big deal, and it would not affect his performance in the game, but before You Jian spoke again, he saw Hu Xiaopeng say to You Jian with a wicked smile.

"Brother, hey, hey, borrow a few pieces of armor from you, don't mind, anyway, you're eliminated now, and it's a waste to keep it."

Saying that, without waiting for You Jian to ask, Hu Xiaopeng had already squatted beside You Jian's IA and began to dismantle the armor on his body piece by piece, his movements were extremely violent, and he didn't care about You Jian's feelings at all, because You Jian, who was sitting in the cockpit, could clearly hear the metal tearing sound from his IA.

In the face of Hu Xiaopeng's approach at this time, You Jian was still confused at first, and he didn't know what Hu Xiaopeng was doing, but as Hu Xiaopeng finished disassembling one side of IA and turned his position to disassemble the IA armor on the other side, facing Hu Xiaopeng, who happened to enter his field of vision, it caused You Jian to laugh loudly.

His own IA was dismantled by Hu Xiaopeng, You Jian can still laugh?

Of course he can, after all, although You Jian was eliminated at this time, it doesn't mean that he didn't have professional qualifications, because he was the unlucky guy who was eliminated before Bao Buping and finally ranked 48th.

As for why he looked at Hu Xiaopeng and laughed so much, it was because the IA driven by Hu Xiaopeng at this time could be described as dazzling.

You must know that although the IA used in the professional qualification tournament is the standard IA with unified parameter indicators, in order to distinguish it, almost every IA has different paints, and even if there are IA machines with the same color and color painting, there will be a certain color difference and difference due to the relationship between the painting time and the subsequent battle damage.

So this also caused Hu Xiaopeng's IA armor at this time to become colorful, after all, the four IAs before including Bao Buping, plus the previous two and You Jian at this time, as well as Hu Xiaopeng's own IA, a total of eight IA armor are concentrated on one IA, and the effect can be imagined.

Even if three or four of these eight IAs belong to the same color system, they still can't avoid the fact that they look like they are wearing a patched "beggar suit", and even from a distance, Hu Xiaopeng's IA at this time looks a little like a majestic "colorful rooster".

The dark red and yellow-white camouflage paint, coupled with the gray-blue and dark green matte paintwork, made Hu Xiaopeng the most eye-catching IA machine in the stadium, and even the broadcaster's commentary called it the only alternative IA in the history of the qualifying tournament.

It's just that for this kind of alternative, some people on the Internet say that they are grandstanding and deliberately increasing their exposure, but no matter what it is, there is one fact that cannot be changed, that is, when the fifth and last limited area is announced, Hu Xiaopeng's IA comprehensive loss value has exceeded 60%, and in the finals with less than 30 people left, it can easily be among the top 10.
