Jiao Ming scratched his head, knowing that he was not good at plotting traps against human nature, and asked, "Why don't I call Binglian over, and you can discuss it with her." ”

"It's fine. Emily agreed.

In the following time, Shining Scale did some chores of magnetized iron sheets, Jiao Ming designed the first draft sketches, and Emily and Binglian chatted more and more speculatively, completely unable to see the once faintly hostile attitude.

However, women are all acting schools, and it is difficult to say what will happen after this incident, Jiao Ming thought so, after drawing the last stroke of the first draft of the magic circle, and then roughly estimating the total mass of the metal, it is obviously still not something that the five poor ghosts can afford. Modifying a few small details, the total quality was only reduced by two percentage points, and in desperation, Jiao Ming had to interrupt the conversation between the two women, briefly reported the design progress and asked what the upper limit of the amount of ice lotus metal materials was.

"This can't be!" Hearing the number reported by Binglian, Jiao Ming blurted out. "Twenty percent dosage, are you kidding?"

"Five commoner-born children can only pay so much under the bankruptcy of their families. Binglian also frowned in the face of such a huge gap, and explained: "And there is a little trick in this, in the next few years, I will have to give those families daily living expenses." ”

This is equivalent to making five ordinary families on the earth make up millions, and it is still barely possible to smash the pot and sell the iron and bankrupt the family, and the money will also be compensated by the ice lotus after the competition, which is essentially a disguised loan to bypass the rules of the competition.

"Even so, it is difficult to be strong. Jiao Ming shook his head, although he personally understands the difficulties, the technical objective difficulties are not so easy to overcome.

Emily took the draft, glanced at it a few times, nodded slightly, looked very satisfied, and said, "The design is good, it is already very concise, you really have talent in this area." ”

For Emily, winning or losing a fight between students or being slapped in the face and being slapped in the face was completely unimportant, and it could not be compared to the proficiency and progress of Jiao Mingqi's magic skills.

"Thank you for the compliment, but the amount of material used ......"

"If you spend time thinking carefully, I estimate that you can use ninety percent of the materials to achieve the goal, even if the master of the nine rings makes a move, it is impossible to use only eighty percent of the materials. Emily put down the drawing, squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, but still came to a desperate conclusion: "It's completely impossible to use only 20% of the material." ”

"A penny is hard to beat a hero. Jiao Ming sighed, and the idea of a mess in his mind was turning, either to ask Evan to reduce the price again, or to slightly modify the rules of the competition, or even to borrow some metal materials from the school in the name of the student union.

"Well...... " Emily's expression suddenly changed, and the corners of her mouth curled up, and she raised her voice to attract the attention of the two.

Although Jiao Ming didn't want to interrupt Master Emily's rare joke, he still asked his guess in his heart anxiously: "Could it be that Master has made a breakthrough in magnetic research?"

"There's been a little bit of progress, but it's not certain if we can help. That being said, the smile is confident.

The next day, there was a rumor in the academy that the youngest eight-ring qi magician, Master Emily, in order to verify his new discovery, randomly selected a gray-robed team as an assistant to participate in the experiment, and incidentally, the qi magicians in this team would apply new technology to the upcoming competition.

A day later, the opponent of the next match, the Orange Foxes, to which Lemutida belongs, submitted an application to the student council to postpone the match. After all, these eight are born in response to public opinion, and the theoretical organizer is not the school but the student self-management committee, and although the student union has the right to change the time, it cannot change the rules, after all, safety and supervision need the support of the eight rings and nine rings under the college.

In fact, regarding the postponement of the game date, Binglian and Jiao Ming really sweated, if the Orange Fox team was one more afternoon, the gray robe team would have to apply for a postponement, and the weakness in this would have a completely different impact on the psychology of both sides.

At the same time, both the superficial intelligence network of the student council and the intelligence network of the Evan family showed that Master Keno's pillow wind had doubled, and yes, the slut Lemudida took her best friend into battle in order to get Master Keno's dedicated help.

This news made Binglian and Jiao Ming breathe a sigh of relief, the families of the Orange Fox team members are not top giants, and the succession order of the five people is around ten. So this leads to a very difficult piece of information, under the pressure of defeat and disrepute, what is the strategic route of these five people? How much metal can they scrape together?

If you take the route of a local tyrant and ask for money from your family to provide enough metal for Master Keno to squander, it will be very bad. After all, if Keno can't be forced to work hard to the bottom of the box, Emily, who is involved in this kind of playing game, will withdraw and go back to study at home, and the master-apprentice relationship is not enough for the master to waste time.

On the other hand, if you take the technical route and 'squeeze' the potential from Master Keno to save metal materials, you will be able to follow Emily's wishes, and you can gradually release the news as planned to explore the progress of Keno's research.

What followed was quite interesting, the gray-robed students had several fanfare demonstrations of the 'new floating tray', and the metal circle hidden between the two thin planks successfully lifted the five people, and in the process of transporting, it was obvious that each time it was lighter than the last. And after each demonstration, Lemudida would take his girlfriend and female companion to Master Keno's residence.

Although he didn't know what was going on in the house, Jiao Ming just thought about it, and secretly scolded the old pervert for being very happy. At the same time, intelligence shows that the Orange Fox team has also begun to be unstable, and although the fighting mouth in several public occasions was suppressed by the captain in time, secretly, the contradiction should have broken out several times and was not properly resolved.

Finally, two days before the appointment, the Orange Foxes took a leave of absence and skipped school and went to practice floating pallets secretly. And it wasn't until the night before the fight that Binglian got the news of the Orange Foxes' practice location.

In the dark and dreary academy arena, there was only a slight light near the magic lamp, and the team participating in tomorrow's competition was carrying out the final run-in practice, and Binglian asked the panting student union officer about the channel for news.

"It was the fire mage of the Orange Fox team that we heard when he was chatting, and considering his usual personality, it shouldn't be fake. The student council officer.

According to the information collected earlier, although Berkeqi is highly talented and diligent, he is impulsive and irritable, and his scheming is not deep, and he can't hide things. However, if the information is accurate, the Orange Fox Team is actually hiding in the royal magic training ground of the Blue Python Kingdom, which is a bit complicated. Jiao Ming and Binglian looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the student council president contender that Evan had mentioned, Lyerpott.

Asking the student council officer to go to the side to rest, Jiao Ming, who was bottomless, asked, "That thing won't give the Orange Fox any extra support, right?"

"Who knows, tomorrow I can only ask the referee to check it more closely. Binglian's face was also full of melancholy.

"Please rest assured, Elder! We will fight to the death and win!" Among the team members who came to listen to the information and took a short rest by the way, Cooper, who was sweating profusely, expressed his determination, so straightforward that Jiao Ming couldn't bear to look at it directly. Cooper is a five-ring water system, but he focuses on healing, and there are probably only four rings in terms of strength and fighting skills, and he is honest and outspoken, and he is a good brother but not necessarily a good friend. Due to the college's enrollment plan, he was transferred back from the front-line battlefield, and was originally a trainee battlefield doctor.

The other four sat next to them and regained their mental strength. One is the qi magician Nethercus, male, with the talent of the four rings, diligent and not losing to the scorching cedar, and has broken through to the signs of entering the fifth ring, and is also the user of the floating tray. The two fire magicians, Worm and Rogge, a man and a woman, are also the Four Rings, but they are a bit stupid, and although they are diligent but their progress is limited. Finally, there is the captain Kargas, the five-ring earth system, male, mainly responsible for defense and auxiliary attack.

Except for Cooper's heartless smile, everyone else was silent. Whether it was the student council officer who came to deliver the letter, a few dog-headed military advisors who conceived battle strategies, the four team members who were retreating, and Binglian and Jiao Ming, they couldn't see their real expressions in the dim magic lamp, but they were obviously not full of confidence.

After class in the afternoon of the next day, nearly ninety percent of the students and some teachers came to the arena to watch the excitement, and the stands were similar to the last time, with distinct two-color robes. On the field, the two black-robed referees compared the magic items carried by the two teams with the list submitted in advance, and after confirming that they were all from the team members themselves, they loudly announced the start of the competition.

But immediately after, the audience erupted in laughter. At first glance, the floating tray on the Orange Foxes' side looks similar to the previous one, but insiders quickly discover from some details that this tray designed and made by the well-known eight-ring qi magician has better performance. But on the other hand, on the side of the gray-robed student, there are only four team members standing on it, and there is also a water-based magic warrior student wearing a floating 'ring' to provide auxiliary movement power. The bottom layer of the ring is flush with the waist and hips, and it is equipped with a clasp that is easy to lift, and the overall image is as if it is covered with a large swimming ring, and there are four people standing on the swimming ring, which is simply ugly.

With his enhanced ear power, Jiao Ming heard a lot of loud ridicule, which was elegantly summed up in one sentence: an elegant demeanor without magic at all, and a meaner summary was also a sentence: even if he wore a mage robe, he was still no different from a beast or a slave pulling a cart. Cooper, who was standing in the field, could hear it even more, and his face, which was still a little honest, turned red at this time.

Although he had already done some psychological construction for the five people to exert their strength under the watchful eye, Jiao Ming still hoped that this expected cynicism would not have too much impact on the five people.

The first round of fire interference was blocked, the floating equipment of both sides was successfully raised, and then a gorgeous but fruitless exchange of magic fired, it was easier said than done for both sides to stand on a fast-moving platform and hit a fast-moving target. When discussing tactics, the counter-attrition phase, which Jiao Ming called P1, arrived as scheduled.

According to the plan, the two fire mages began to conserve mana, only firing fireballs when the opponent's floating tray slowed down, trying to deplete the spirit power of the opponent's qi mage as soon as possible. But how can things be so simple, the Orange Foxes obviously also have a plan for the battle, and almost adopt the same strategy to get through this phase of attrition.

After about twenty minutes, the Orange Foxes couldn't hold out and dropped their floating pallets to defend on the spot. The audience was mixed, and the timid cheers of the gray-robed cadets were drowned out by the disgruntled boos of the noble children.

Jiao Ming clenched his fists, his eyes full of excitement, and he was happy that the game situation was developing as expected.

Nethercus reduced the mana output to the floating magic circle, handed over the control of the tray to Cooper, and participated in the magic bombardment of the Orange Foxes, and after these days of practice, they cooperated with each other quite tacitly, barely able to achieve the hit rate of hitting a fixed target in a fixed position. While the Orange Fox team strengthened the earth-based condensate to avoid obstacles, the three fire-based mages no longer fired fireballs to counterattack, but risked their souls to detonate the medicine pack and reduce the pressure, which was quite hard.

Seeing this, Kargas weakened the tray obstacle avoidance, distracting himself from the Orange Fox team's earth-based magic obstacle avoidance, while Cooper also slowed down his running speed to maintain his physical strength. But he didn't want the Orange Fox team to seize the opportunity immediately, and a direct fireball exploded less than ten meters away from Cooper's side, judging from the speed and power, it was obviously a secret special explosive powder.

"Day, so accurate?" Jiao Ming scolded.

"A staff of wood is not the right color. Binglian quickly discovered the problem. The staff of the fire magician is actually a firework canister on a wooden pole, and the material of the canister is metal and wood, considering the economic conditions of the students, nine out of ten are wooden canisters, of course, their bearing capacity is limited, and it is also the biggest obstacle restricting the range and accuracy of the fireball.

Jiao Ming looked closely, but he didn't find anything special, it looked like it was just wood.

In two sentences, Cooper had already rushed out of the green smoke and dust caused by the explosion, and ran at top speed again, not daring to slow down slightly. At first glance, the five of them did not appear to be injured, but Jiao Ming noticed that Netherkus's expression was different, as if he was enduring pain, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart.

After about five or six minutes, Cooper did his best, and as he put down the tray, the Orange Foxes' obstacle was finally broken.

In anticipation, the Orange Foxes may surrender at this time, but it is more likely that they will not, after all, the loss to the Gray Robe team will be stained with a stain on their reputation, especially the first team to lose.

Instead of hearing the expected surrender, the spectators in the stands were chatting about what was going to happen, and the swarm-like buzz went up to the next level.

Also staring at the development of the field, Jiao Ming's nervousness didn't even make him feel his hands being pinched by the ice lotus, and the worst situation expected, the floating frisbee of the Orange Fox team actually swayed and floated again.

Jiao Ming's scolding was drowned out by the exclamations that sounded like a tide around him. The situation in the arena seemed to be a swap of positions between the two sides, with the gray robe passively defending, and the orange foxes scurrying around to shoot magic.

However, the development of the battle situation was not as bad as imagined, the Orange Fox team only flew for less than two minutes, and the frisbee was inserted diagonally into the ground, and the qi magician was directly unconscious, and the four people skillfully took the unconscious to hide behind the frisbee that turned into cover, and opened the three reserved emholes. Judging from the location and direction of the crash, as well as the subsequent response, this was clearly premeditated.

The battle situation has entered a stalemate again, but it has become a familiar positional battle, the advantage of the gray-robed students is that there are still defensive barriers left, while the orange fox team is better at the metal plate bunker, which has an excellent effect on fire-based magic, but the defensive power against the air-based space blade is not as effective as the earth-based condensate obstacle avoidance.

"How much strength does Nethercus still have?" asked Ice Lotus aloud.

"It's hard to say. Jiao Ming replied loudly.

The commotion around was almost resounding in the air.
