Sunlight shining from distant stars warmly sprinkled on the earth.

July in Donglai City is not as hot as in other places, and the occasional breeze blowing over is always like a mother's hand, gently caressing, which can bring a piece of coolness to the anxious heart.

But even so, it couldn't dispel the haze in Fang Shixian's heart.

He hid from his father and had secretly worked for a month during the summer vacation.

With the salary of the fast food restaurant, Fang Shi walks in the crowd leisurely, consciously or unconsciously, always keeping a certain distance from pedestrians.

He repeatedly thought in his heart that he would go to 'Yenching University' to report in a month, and according to the situation of his family, he categorically could not pay all his expenses at Yenching University, so he came out to exercise himself and share the burden for his father.

As one of the four universities in Donglai City, Yenching University's faculty, campus environment, accommodation, and other hardware facilities are not comparable to ordinary schools. But along with this, Yenching University's consumption has also risen.

Recalling all the things about Yenching University that he saw on the Aurora Internet, Fang Shixian held his hand and couldn't help but tighten a little more. Seeing that the start of school is imminent, even if the tuition and fees for one year are waived with excellent grades, the expenses required for a long study career after the start of school cannot be solved by this amount of money.

Even if you have spare time to work after the start of school, and then work two more jobs, it is not enough for the most basic cost of the pilot major that you choose at leisure, because pilots need to carry out a lot of physical training, as well as special equipment for simulation training, these schools provide hardware facilities, but students need to pay for their own training time. Although he couldn't figure out why his father had to choose him for this major.

Thinking of his father's temples gradually turning gray, as well as the figure of coughing incessantly, Fang Shi sighed silently. Now it seems that in the days after the start of school, I can only take one step at a time, first hide from my father part-time work and study, that should be able to reduce some of his burden, and then I have grown up, a manly man, I have to be self-reliant!

Unconsciously, the figure on the ground has been stretched longer and longer by the stars that are gradually setting in the west, the hovercars flying in the air from time to time with gorgeous trajectories pass by, and the towering buildings also release the most magnificent and hazy neon in the night.

Fang Shixian, who was half-squinting and didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly woke up, his father was still waiting for him to go back to make dinner at home, and it was his turn today as agreed. So he took a step and began to run with all his might, which made the pedestrians around him feel like a gust of wind passing by, and in the blink of an eye, he could not see his figure.

When passing through the corner of an intersection, Fang Shixian was crowded there, blocking his way past, and had no choice but to stop. He followed everyone's gaze to a large projection screen hanging outside a building.

In the screen, two handsome guys each showed a charming smile and posed differently, and below their avatars was a row of big eye-catching texts: "Peak showdown, Xu Haotian Vs Yu Jingxi!" And then there was a bigger font next to it: "Million Dollar Prize!" ”

After mankind entered the interstellar age, mechanical armor (mecha) came into being, and at that time, every teenager fantasized about becoming a mecha operator (pilot) when he was a child. Because it not only represents honor and blood, but also will win the favor of girls.

Now, the federations are peaceful and prosperous, and there has been no war for nearly a hundred years. With the passage of time, the federal government has recently lifted the ban on the 'mecha virtual game' of the 'Aurora Network', which was originally only open to the military. Subsequently, Aurora Network took advantage of the trend to launch the 'Mecha Battle Virtual Platform (Machine Battle)', which claims to reach 1oo% realistic Cheng Dù. As a result, people began to spend their leisure time in machine warfare, which they had not been able to access before.

What Fang Shixian is seeing now is the Federation Finals of the Machine Battle Professional League held in the Aurora Network!

In the entire screen, the only ones that attracted Fang Shixian's attention were the four largest fonts, and this game was also closely related to the profession he was about to touch.

Thinking of his predicament, he couldn't help but mutter: "I didn't expect to make so much money by beating this thing!" If only I could get it! ”

"What!? Hit..., this..., something...? An exclamation came from Fang Shixian's side, his tone was full of incredulity, and there was some anger in it, especially the voice of the last few words was still very long, full of doubts.

"Like, is that what money can tell?" The other person said in a harmonious tone, but his tone was even more passionate: "This is the collision of iron and blood!" It's a confrontation with machinery! It's the embodiment of a real man! It's an honor! It's life! ”

There are also people who are very disdainful: "It must be a miscellaneous fish who has never even played machine battles, and he still wants to get the bonus of the federal top league!" ”

Unexpectedly, his unintentional words would cause so many people to be dissatisfied, so Fang Shixian had to squeeze in front to avoid these people, otherwise he didn't know what they would say if he stayed any longer.

As soon as he squeezed to a short distance in front, Fang Shixian heard someone talking again.

"I'm so envious, I didn't expect the income of the players in the machine battle to be so high now!"

"It's not all, it's just a prize money for one game, you must know that there are many professional games every year, and ah, there are also team salaries, advertising salaries, etc., and the total income every year is worthy of second-tier stars."

"Really? So much!? ”

"Am I still going to lie to you? The younger brother of my uncle's daughter's classmate is on the professional team. However, it is not yet as high as Xu Haotian and Yu Jingxi, after all, they are both top players. Anyway, I also made a little money in the machine battle two days ago. Hey, it's not much, 1ooo more federal shields! ”

"Gambling again, right? I advise you to gamble less! ”

"If I don't gamble, can I still make money by relying on the click-through rate of the game video and the paid viewing model?"

"You can't bet on that! The real money is made by the official and the beater, especially the beater, not only has the competition bonus, but if the battle is more exciting, maybe the paid share of the video is more than the bonus. ”

"Okay, okay, that's long-winded. Sometimes I wonder if I could have persevered and maybe I'm a top player now. ”

"Just you, you can't even beat me, and you still want to be a master?"

"Who do you say can't even beat you, joke, I don't know who was abused in the first place!"

"Oh, the dead duck is still hard-mouthed, go, go alone, if you don't teach you a lesson, you won't know why the chrysanthemum is so brilliant!"

"Let's go, ho is afraid of ho! See that I don't beat you all over the ground looking for teeth. ”

Looking at the two middle-aged uncles next to him who rolled up their sleeves and fought on the spot, Fang Shixian couldn't help but wonder, is this game really so popular, and it can make the two uncles who seem to have a good relationship say that they will do it.

I've heard it from my classmates before, but I've never had a chance to try it.

Whoever calls it the most ordinary virtual helmet is worth his family's expenses for nearly three months. Moreover, even Aurora Network has only played in the Aurora Bar once or twice (to check the information of Yenching University).

But what other ways can this game make money besides the prize money from the competition?! What about betting, rings, and video pay-for-money? 1ooo federal guilder is about my salary for the month. Shall I give it a try? Since everyone else can make money, then I should be able to too, I don't know which one earns more than a part-time job!

After seeing the two of them leave in a menacing manner, Fang Shixian looked up at the huge screen, and was distracted for a while.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaocang this commentary. Next, I will explain to you the finals of the individual event of the Federal Pro League organized by Aurora. The two sides are the blackest dark horse in this league - Xu Haotian, and Yu Jingxi, who is known as the rookie king who has newly joined the veteran team ghost, they will win the championship and runner-up in this game, the champion will receive a million bonuses, and will also get this year's mVp, let's wait and see. ”

Suddenly, a crisp and melodious female voice like a hollow valley orchid came from the screen in front of him, pulling Fang Shixian back.

However, when he looked at the screen, he saw a scene of sand dunes and sand valleys crisscrossing the place, but he could not see the owner of the extremely nice sound.

"Okay, this sand scene, I don't need to introduce it more, everyone should have played in this scene."

"Hey, it seems that something special has happened. Ghost's newcomer Wang Yu Jingxi used a melee mecha in the previous competition-Raider, but he unexpectedly chose a long-range mecha in the finals-Hunting Pioneer. ”

"Although they are both degree mechas, one is good at melee combat, with good degree and agility; A long-range, there is still a big difference, is his use of the Hunter Pioneer technology stronger? And Xu Haotian's Burst Whirlwind is far more difficult to move in this kind of map than the Hunting Pioneer, which will be a big challenge for him. ”

On the screen, two different mechas, red and black, are at opposite ends of the sand scene, and no one moves.

After a moment of silence, suddenly, the red mecha belonging to Yu Jingxi, one sprinted, and then shortened, disappearing from Xu Haotian's field of vision, although Xu Haotian knew that he was hiding behind the sand dune that just covered his figure, but still motionless.

Xu Haotian believes that Yu Jingxi, who is known as the king of newcomers, will not choose to have a hunting pioneer with a long-range sniper rifle for no reason, he must have some tricks that are not known to ordinary people, ghost, as the strongest veteran team in the past, will spare no effort to train him with various internal tactics, but am I so easy to bully, Xu Haotian snorted coldly in his heart, the same short body, with an extremely indecent posture, on all fours, ran in the direction of Yu Jingxi.

"Oh my God, what's going on, a humanoid mecha can run like this? And it seems to be a little faster than a normal running position. The nice commentary was accompanied by a hint of doubt, but then it was quite determined to analyze: "But I have to say that it is easier to balance when running in the sand this way, but with it comes the need to strengthen the ability to control horizontally, which is not an established program setting." Xu Haotian, a dark horse, can always bring us some novelty tricks, and at the same time it also rings a wake-up call for us - never stick to the rules, machine warfare is known as a 100% simulation of real mechas, as long as you dare to think and dare to try, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. ”

With the characteristic clattering sound of the mecha's rhythm, a black burst whirlwind rushed towards the sand dune in the sand, raising a patch of yellow sand behind it. Halfway to the dunes, the Bursting Whirlwind swerved with great agility and no pause.

The Red Hunter didn't stay lurking behind the sand dunes, but had already crawled away by the time the Burst Whirlwind turned, and a good sniper would never stay in the same place for too long, it would be like waiting for the other to come up and kill.

You must know that the hunting pioneer sacrificed heavy armor in exchange for degree, and fighting with the Burst Whirlwind in close quarters is definitely a brain show.

When the burst whirlwind finally made a careful detour behind the sand dunes, he saw the traces of crawling on the sand, and his heart groaned, and he rolled to the side.

But at that moment, a dull sudden sound came from a distance, although Xu Haotian had been prepared, he was still hit, only to see his left shoulder sink back, bulging out a cloud of sparks, and the fragments of steel splashed everywhere, bringing out bursts of screaming sound of breaking the air and instantly submerged in the yellow sand.
