"Brother, it's your turn, don't say I didn't give you a chance, I'll try first. The young man laughed and handed the steam pistol in his hand to Li Xiang, "Of course, if you don't dare, just let your sister go with me, and I won't embarrass you." ”

Xiao Ai hid behind Li Xiang and shivered, and the crowd of onlookers shook their heads, but no one dared to come up and take care of it.

"Don't bet with him, you'll die!" Wei Linlin, who was behind her, finally couldn't help but shout, the relationship between the Bai family and the Wei family was considered superior, but the son of a member of the Bai family's division was not enough to make her bow down.

It's just that it's not a wise move to rush into conflict with him.

But she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't dare, don't grind. The young man ignored Wei Linlin, handed the steam gun in his hand another point, and the companions behind him coaxed and shouted.

Li Xiang smiled and took the steam pistol.

"No, no, little brother. Xiao Ai was teary-eyed, she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing here, but when she thought that Li Xiang might die for herself, her heart would be very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, so be it. Li Xiang picked up the steam pistol in his hand and slowly aimed it at his temple.

"This can't be a crazy person. When the young man saw that he really wanted to gamble with himself, he muttered in his heart, he didn't want to have such a big conflict here, even if he had the protection of the Bai family, he couldn't be so lawless.

He just wanted Li Xiang to retreat, but it looked like he was really going to gamble his life.

Li Xiang pulled the trigger without warning, the roulette wheel spun, white gears appeared in the pupils of his eyes, and the steam pistol made an empty sound, and the expected explosion did not appear.

"How, how could this be. The young man muttered with wide eyes, he had clearly set the next shot to be a burst of air, why was he okay?

"It seems that my luck is not bad, so now, is it your turn. Li Xiang smiled, this kind of little trick was pediatrics in front of a person like him who was proficient in machinery, and he solved it with a little tricking.

At this time, the young man himself did not know when the shot would explode. The uncertainty of the wheel was full of fear, and he looked at the steam pistol that Li Xiang handed over, and did not dare to take it.

How the hell did this guy do it?

The young man thought that if he was unlucky enough to blow up with a single shot, wouldn't he be trapping himself? No matter what tricks this man had, he would not easily gamble his life.

"Uh...... Uh, you're ruthless, let's go!" the young man grabbed the steam pistol, put down the cruel words, and ran away with his own group of people.

After they left, Wei Linlin and Xiao Ai both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you are not a seedless person. Wei Linlin came over and smiled at Li Xiang, if Xiao Ai was really taken away like this, she would look down on Li Xiang from the bottom of her heart.

However, now Li Xiang is only thinking about the Sky Arena, this is just a matter of hand, if the other party really doesn't give up, he doesn't mind leaving a deep memory for that young man, that's all.

"Oh. He ignored Wei Linlin, turned his head to Xiao Ai and said, "Okay, I'll send you back, you have to be careful in the future." ”

"Well, thank you, little brother. Xiao Ai was still a little scared now, took his hand and walked out of the civic center building together, but before leaving, he didn't forget to wave goodbye to Wei Linlin.

On the other hand, Li Xiang seemed to have neglected himself the whole time, Wei Linlin snorted coldly angrily, and was unwilling to continue talking to him with a shy face, so she watched the two of them leave from a distance.

"Miss, don't be so impulsive next time. The attendant on the side reminded in a low voice, "Let's hurry to the Sky Arena." ”

"I know, I know, everyone who saw the Bai family was scared like something, not even a civilian, hum. Wei Linlin shook her long hair and glanced at them.

Li Xiang sent Xiao Ai home as fast as he could, and then headed towards the towering tower.

The Sky Arena has a total of 99 floors, starting from the 50th floor, it is also a wonder from an architectural point of view, close to the tower, and there are a lot less people around, and the people who can move around here are basically mechanical enthusiasts, all with many mechanical devices, quite a kind of steampunk flavor.

"Please show your ID. "The entrance and exit of the tower were checked by soldiers from the military department, and Li Xiang took out the communication device and scanned it and entered smoothly.

As soon as you enter the tower, the view is instantly widened, and it is a well-known paradise for mechanical enthusiasts, from the small parts of the building to the large installations, all of which exude a strong mechanical atmosphere, and many complex steam turbine units are installed inside the surrounding circular walls and high columns, providing various energy support for the entire tower.

The ground floor is the so-called 0th floor, which is also where the registration takes place.

At this moment, the people gathered in the hall were crowded, and the countdown to the Xinghai cruise ticket was projected directly above in the form of a light curtain, which was very eye-catching.

236 hours, 42 minutes and 17 seconds.

On the bulletin board at the front of the giant screen, all the rules of the Sky Arena are clearly posted, so you can see them at a glance.

"The Sky Arena is divided into 99 floors, and reaching the 50th floor means that you can get a ticket to travel in the sea of stars, from the 1st floor to the 49th floor, there is a level blocking every 10 floors, and only through that access can you go up to the new level. Li Xiang silently recited the rules on the bulletin board, constantly analyzing, "There are new game rules on every 10th floor, and the Sky Arena is just like a game, you have to keep going up, and you need to face various dangers at the same time. ”

It's really a mecca for mechanical enthusiasts.

Anything you get here will be given directly to you, and you'll be rewarded as you move up the tiers. Of course, if you unfortunately fail, not only will you not be able to go up, but you will also lose a lot of your own resources, and you will become a poor egg in an instant.

Now Li Xiang still has a total of 100,000 Blue Star Coins, which is the minimum standard line to enter the first layer.

Behind the giant bulletin board is the entrance to the stairs on the first floor, and there is a surge of people, many people go directly into it, and the exit is on the opposite side, from where occasional people come out, all with bleak faces, as if they have lost all hope in life.

"The competition content of the 1st to 10th floors is mechanical production and maintenance, the difficulty is rising layer by layer, the starting capital of the first layer is at least 100,000 blue star coins, there will be a recorder to record the results of each competition, and you can reach the second layer by accumulating 100 points. ”

The rules are simple and easy to understand.

Li Xiang took a recorder from the giant curtain and walked towards the staircase, the recorder is a watch-style thing, and you can record the score of each competition when you wear it on your hand.

The first floor is about 5 meters from the ground, which is a very large arc-shaped area with countless booths, but it is a bit like some of the comic exhibitions he participated in in his previous life.

Each booth is controlled by a group that provides mechanical devices or simple drawings that everyone can walk up to and try their hand at after paying the required entrance fee.

However, if you fail, the entrance fee will not be refunded, and if you succeed, you will not only get points, but also get a reward.

Li Xiang observed, he hadn't heard of the forces here, looking at the introduction above the booth, it seemed that they were all ordinary forces from all over the 1st district, and the competition content on their booth was basically made of some simple mechanical devices, probably to obtain a mechanical device in batches, but it was too expensive to order it to the two major heavy industries or some official organizations, so it was better to come here to try his luck.

The first floor involves almost no mechanical maintenance, the competition is very simple, and the booths are very popular, and most of the people who come here are just trying to earn points.

He searched for a while, and soon found a booth where he needed to make a basic steam pistol.

There were a lot of people gathered around the booth, but no one dared to go up to compete, after all, the basic steam pistol was already the content of the monthly university exam, and it was a relatively advanced technology.

Moreover, they still provide simple drawings, which are too poor to be completed by people with no production experience.

Li Xiang stepped onto the booth one step at a time, and the person in charge who was dozing immediately came to his senses, and walked up to greet him with a smile: "This master, do you want to try it?"

"Well, how much does it cost. Li Xiang nodded slightly, the person in charge was very polite to him, and his attitude was very good, it seems that even if he is a mechanical enthusiast, when it comes to mechanical production, these small forces are not willing to offend easily.

Mechanic is really a very good profession.

"Once in 1,000 Blue Star Coins, you will be rewarded with 100,000 Blue Star Coins. The person in charge greeted him with a smile.

Li thought about it, so it was. The people who hang out in the Sky Arena are generally the lowest level of mechanical enthusiasts, and their production level is very poor, and even if they can make basic steam pistols, most of them have a lot of flaws, but these small forces don't care about quality, as long as they buy in large quantities, they just hit it off.

They don't have to spend a fortune on it, and mechanic enthusiasts earn a little money and earn points.

Win-win.

Li Xiang paid 1,000 Blue Star Coins and became the first person to compete at this booth.

In the Sky Arena, all competitions are hidden, and the console is equipped with an anti-peeping device, so that the people below cannot see the movements in his hands.

Li Xiang had already studied the drawings thoroughly, and seeing that he had not waited for the person in charge to bring the simple drawings and started to operate them, many people stopped to watch and wanted to see the jokes of this young boy.

There are always some people who want to make a name for themselves here, but it's a pity that they don't have the level to attract attention in this way.

Such people are the greatest joy for these low-level mechanical enthusiasts.

Wei Linlin, who had completed a mechanical production, came down from the booth satisfied, and happened to see Li Xiang competing alone, and she couldn't help but step forward to take a look when she saw so many people watching.

"It's actually a basic steam pistol, isn't this a firearm making that can only be involved by a high-level mechanical apprentice?" Wei Linlin was born in a mechanical family, and she knows these very well, firearms making is a skill that can only be encountered in college, is this color embryo actually a college student?

Her impression of Li Xiang was still stuck when he peeked at his chest at the elevator entrance, but the bet with the young man made her change her mind a little, but she didn't expect to meet him again here.

Wei Linlin curiously mixed in the crowd to observe, she was only in her third year of high school after the summer vacation, and her mechanical skills can only be said to be solid, this time the goal is to rush to the 10th floor, and by the way, sharpen herself, see that the guy's age is not much older than herself, is it really a senior mechanical apprentice?

Thinking so, Li Xiang on the stage suddenly stopped the movements of his hands and shouted at the person in charge: "I'm done." ”
