Chapter 24: Undercurrents
A week later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Dr. Wright...... I...... Here we go again......"
During the week, Edward would find time to fight Locks twice a day, and he could still have an advantage at first, but as Locks became accustomed to Edward's fighting style, Edward was beaten half to death each time.
Opening the door of the laboratory with his pupils, Edward, who had just finished the training match with Locks, looked around weakly and said even more depressedly: "You liar, Anne is not here." β
"There's no way around it," White said, turning around and shrugging his shoulders helplessly, "this time she asked for leave from school to go home, and I couldn't have dragged her over." β
"But it's been more than half a month since that game ended...... Edward's resentment intensified, "I haven't spoken to her once......"
"Uh...... Why don't I go to her homeroom teacher and ask for a phone for you? White continued to be helpless, "Why don't you even have a phone when you have such a good relationship?" β
"No, no, who said we had such a good relationship," Edward's face flushed slightly, "We've only known each other for a long time, this and that's ......"
"Okay, okay, come over and take off your clothes and lie down," White waved his hand helplessly, "Since you're here, you have to check it out, right?" Have you triggered the 'Death Swamp' in the past two days? β
"Not at all," it was only at this point that Edward was a little more serious, he skillfully undressed and lay on the machine bed, allowing a dozen mechanical walls to sample, scan, drug injection, etc. on his body, "Because the competition is about to start again, the amount of training has also increased recently, but no matter what the intensity of physical training or training competition, there is no sign of triggering." It's like this disease...... It's almost ready. β
"It's impossible," White stared intently as he manipulated the floating projection in front of him, "The 'Dying Swamp' will not heal, it is a lifelong physical and mental illness, but it is indeed a little strange like you...... So keep watching. β
"Maybe, it's just that the strength is not enough if it doesn't trigger," White took off his glasses and wiped them, then raised them up and looked at them under the light, "Tonight is the last game of the repechage, the burner VS the double blade, this one is over......"
"The next game is 32 into 16, and I'm going to play." Edward received, "And by that time ......"
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "There will be a great chance of triggering." β
"I think you should be given some drugs at this time to suppress the trigger of the Dying Swamp," White put on his glasses, "however, these drugs may reduce the effect of the homology, so ......"
"I refuse." Edward sat up and looked White in the eye, "I won't allow anything to degrade my combat power, I'...... Must win. β
It's just like that person, but it's the kind of person who has the ability to fight the 'dying swamp'. White smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Whatever you want." β

It was night, and the Life No. 3 Floating Fortress (Beigong Affiliated Ship) was full of people, and the last game of the repechage match had entered its climax.
The body repeatedly accelerated, the twin blades flashed, and it headed straight towards the incinerator, but when it stepped within five meters of the incinerator, its speed suddenly froze, and it had to rely on inertia to stagger towards the incinerator......
In the same cabin, the woman roared angrily: "Cut, it's also a double blade, you are far worse than him!" β
Facing his opponent who had been restrained by the heat, the Inciner raised his long sword that swept the red flames, and the flames were all open!
The long-repaired Burner swung his sword with all his might, the flames, and almost engulfed the entire gladiatorial arena!
"Incinerator VS Double Edge...... The game is over, the burner, win-"
"At this point, the top 32 of our Beigong University Robot Fighting Competition have finally been selected!" Michael waved his hand on the screen, "Starting next week, we will present higher quality, more intensive competitions!" Audience friends, are you ready~"
"In addition, a small piece of news, starting next week, all the commentaries will become double commentators~" Michael blinked, "One of my colleagues will come to support the game, who will it be?" We look forward to it~"
Amid the cheers of the audience, all the screens instantly dimmed together.
In the dimly lit tuning room, the door of the tuning cabin opened, and Christina stepped out of it, breathing a long sigh of relief, and muttered to herself, "Bruce...... The next time I meet you, I won't lose again. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
There was no light in all directions, as if it were the deepest and darkest dungeon, and the night demon lurked in the darkness, his eyes dark red and bright, and even the electronic eyes of other machines could not catch this faint light.
"Lilith, this is the last training session before the game, and I hope you can beat me this time."
The woman's voice echoed in the cohomology cabin, Lilith's eyes were slightly closed, her expression was cold, she nodded, and said, "Sister, this time, can I try to kill you?" β
The Night Demon's eyes flickered slightly, and quietly, the structure on its body began to reorganize and change wildly, and after a short silence on the voice call, the laughter of the woman on the other side came: "Of course, if you can do it." β
"This time, definitely." Lilith smiled sweetly, then disconnected from the voice connection.
A mech similar to the Night Demon burst through the darkness, and the sword collided with the Night Demon's claws, splashing a string of sparks......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the dedicated mechanical room with scattered parts, Edward sat in a pile of parts and structures, watching the Incinerator melt half of his opponent's body with a single sword, and smiled slightly, it seems that the Incinerator has made great progress since that battle.
However, he also found time to build it, and Bruce was not afraid of its flames after all.
"I knew you were still here, Edward," the projection popped up, and Lin Jue asked with a slight smile, "If you don't come early, and you leave so late, what are you doing?" Also, aren't you leaving? You're going to have a morning exercise tomorrow, right? β
"It's all right, I'm sleeping here today," Edward said, waving his hand, "I still have a lot of work to do." β
"You......" Lin Jue smiled helplessly, and paused for a long time before continuing, "Don't force yourself too much, there are things that you can't just force yourself." β
"Got it." Edward smiled slightly, but his eyes did not change in the slightest.
"I knew you wouldn't listen," Lin Jue shook his head and waved his hand: "Goodbye, good night!" β
The floating projection suddenly shrank and disappeared, and Edward couldn't help but smile and shake his head, turned on the music, took two sips of coffee, and continued with the construction at hand.

"Lalal~(You can make up a certain opening song of "Funny Comic Dayhe" by yourself)"
In the dark room, there was only a floating projection of light, and the boy was surrounded by the floating projection, and his hands flew on it, leaving one afterimage after another, and suddenly stopped in an instant: "OK, finish~completed~It's all the information of the 32nd strong~"
"Ah~ In this way, the fighters of this year are a bit strong~ The idea is very interesting~"
"Ahh β
"Level 1 secrecy is operationalβ"
"Level 2 secrecy is up and runningβ"
"Level 3 secrecy is up and runningβ"
"The market is open - funds have begun to flow inβ"
"I've kept you waiting, now...... Give back! The young man raised his hands, "Now, the system ~ give me, report the number ~"
"Now the gambling capital: 530,000 federal dollars."
"Report the number ~ report the number ~~"
"Now betting: 174...... Current gambling capital: 6,300,000 federal coins. β
"It's not enough at all~ It's not enough at all~" The boy laughed, "I want more~more~~ give me ...... Count!!! β
"Alert, there is already a participant who has just unlocked the second-level confidentiality agreement of all the players. Current gambling capital: 47.1 million federal dollars. β
"That's right~" The young man lowered his head and smiled, "I knew that there would definitely be this kind of guy this year, so how many will there be~ This session is so exciting, there should be no problem to make more than ten or two billion~hahahaha~~"
Bang. The door opened suddenly.
All the projections disappeared in an instant, and the black man stood in the doorway, his expression calm, "Carter, it's already morning." β
"Yes~" The young man looked back with a smile, "I just got up, let's go to the cafeteria together~"
As the door quietly closed, the floating projection inside instantly lit up again.
"Automatic number of reports, now gambling money: 49.9 million federal dollars."
"Automatic number of reports, now gambling money: 51.2 million federal coins."
"Automatic number of reports, now the gambling money ......"

Since nearly ten years ago, there has been a legend in Beigong Dali - a legend about the "gambling man".
Every year, such a mysterious person appears in a hidden post on the forum, opening his casino website to gamble on the major events of the University of Beijing.
Originally, this incident did not attract much attention, after all, this kind of thing is done every year, but this time it was different - the school officials who dispatched all the teachers of the Department of Information did not succeed in shutting down the website. They failed to break through the firewall of the "gambler", but were hacked by the counteroffensive of the school's power, so that Beigong University was completely blacked out for 2 hours, if it were not for the backup energy source, the floating fortress would probably fall.
After this battle, the "gambler" became completely popular, and his website was visited by countless people in an instant, including many hackers who played against him, but they were counterattacked one by one, and the content of his website was gradually plumped.
He began to publish a lot of exclusive information that no one else had access to, and there was also secret information that was not available to gamblers until a certain amount of money was entered.
Undoubtedly, this led to a further increase in the number of gamblers - and this time, the FBI also intervened, and after some gambling, the "gamblers" reached an agreement with the FBI online, and the gambling was only conducted within the university, and the amount of gambling would be controlled according to the financial ability of the participants. Otherwise, all amounts are paid voluntarily by the participants, who bet first and pay later.
Some people think that such a "gambler" will fall, but the website of the "gambler" is getting better and better, and the agreement with the FBI is strictly observed, and all those who can't afford to play this gambling game, or those outside the Beijing Gong University, are excluded, and those who rely on their debts ...... It is indeed a voluntary payment.
It's just that if they don't pay, all of his smart terminals will be instantly overloaded with countless advertisements, including those that have just been bought and then connected to the Internet.
Standing in the elevator, Carter smiled and asked, "Hey, Vlad, what are we going to eat today?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The elevator soon reached the end, and the two of them walked out of the building together, and the projection on the side marked its name - the men's dormitory of the Department of Information.
