Huang Yan had never hoped so fervently for a few star beasts or mutant beasts to suddenly appear in the middle of the night! Anything to interrupt Wang Tianwei's enthusiastic teaching!
The dance was clearly something she had just learned... How on earth did this person manage to squeeze in time to learn a birthday dance when she barely had enough time to sleep!?
The moment he was forced to wear bear ears and bear paw gloves, he was completely dazed. He had worked so hard to become an S-rank commander... just to do this? Was his life already over?
According to the zero-defect theory, as long as he got the moves right the first time, he wouldn't have to practice repeatedly! It would also minimize the level of embarrassment!
And so, the audience who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night watched as Sir Huang danced better and better. By the last few times, he was practically ready to debut as a pop idol...
"Is he really unwilling?"
"I think he's clearly enjoying it!"
"You cast a vote, I cast a vote! Tomorrow Sir Huang makes his debut!"
The person in question was still comforting himself internally. It's fine, it's fine... Maybe everyone else is like this too? Otherwise, why would everyone love celebrating birthdays so much?
As long as they ranked at the top in the competition, their image would still be untouchable!
Speaking of which, it was already midnight. Shouldn't some foraging star beasts have appeared by now!?
But no matter how much Huang Yan begged in his heart, the location they chose seemed to be extremely safe!
Even after the two finished rehearsing and went back to wake up their two teammates to switch shifts, there was no sign of any star beast attacks.
They even got a good night's sleep in the latter half of the night!
At six in the morning, the broadcast sounded again.
"Walker Military Academy First Squad, plus forty-nine points."
"Beichen Military Academy Fifth Squad eliminated, points cleared to zero."
Huang Yan opened his eyes. On the second day of the mecha competition, Beichen's last squad had also been eliminated.
"Morning, Sir Huang."
Zhang Lyra, who was patrolling around the camp after hearing the broadcast, greeted Huang Yan when she saw him come out.
"Morning. Everything fine last night?"
"Nothing happened. There were continuous announcements of other military academies scoring points, so we were pretty lucky. It's just that the temperature dropped drastically in the latter half of the night, but we both put on our thermostatic suits."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Wang Tianwei groggily unzipped the tent and poked her head out.
"Was Beichen just eliminated?"
"You heard that right."
She lay back down and stretched her limbs.
"How strange. Nothing actually came to attack us last night!?"
Jian Jingyu stood up and stretched his lower back.
"Walker just gained forty-nine points! I think everything must have been attracted to them... Surely no one would go to the danger zone before dawn, right?"
Huang Yan's focus, however, was different from the others.
"Walker should have backup energy now."
After Zhang Lyra realized what he was talking about, she stopped in her tracks.
"We can rob energy?"
"The rules don't say we can't."
Wang Tianwei tied her hair into a ponytail behind her head with both hands.
"The rules didn't say that..."
Zhang Lyra stepped forward to help her tuck in a loose strand of hair.
"My mecha's energy is already full... Maybe someone will try to rob us later?"
"Hehehe, when are they coming? I can't wait!"
Jian Jingyu smiled sinisterly.
They had no food left other than nutrient solutions, and they had gnawed the star snake bones completely clean last night! But maybe other teams had some harvest?
Huang Yan had already started taking down the tent.
"I don't know, but if they really come, try to eliminate them. Don't let them escape."
Fighting a battle only to let the enemy run away was the most unrewarding outcome.
They would have to face off sooner or later, and he also wanted to see where the limits of the new mechas lay.
The faces of the four students from Beichen Military Academy alternated between pale and green. Walker's mecha mechanic, Wu Fangyu, was currently dismantling the energy units from their mechas.
After dismantling them, he tested them.
"Only 45% energy left? They fought quite a few star beasts yesterday too."
The firepower specialist, Barry, was not very satisfied.
"Why fight so many? Their points are going to be cleared to zero anyway. What a waste of energy."
What kind of nonsense was that!?
Wang Ling couldn't help but glare at him! But other than glaring, she couldn't do anything else... because they were currently all trapped by Hiranuma Yusho's spiritual power. The slightest resistance would plunge them into an illusion.
Just like when the squad had launched an attack earlier, they lost all coordination in no time! Bill's cannon barrel had actually aimed at himself!?
Walker's two solo soldiers were also incredibly strong... Even when the captain lured over a large wave of mutant beasts, they were quickly annihilated by them!
The firepower payload of the Super S-rank mechas didn't even give those mutant beasts time to react. Their heavy gunner stood in place, looking simply like an emotionless artillery launcher!
Seeing the little bee drone still broadcasting on the side, Wang Ling turned her face away. No matter what, being completely crushed in every aspect was just too embarrassing...
By the time Wu Fangyu had unloaded all the mecha energy, the safety officer teacher had also landed and was waiting on the side.
Guan Han walked up to Hiranuma Yusho and held out his hand.
"You guys are indeed very strong. Even though we lost... this is a great experience for us!"
Hiranuma Yusho didn't move at all.
"A good experience should involve learning and growth. I don't think you can learn anything from a battle with such a disparity in strength.
Leave your food, water, and fuel behind.
You chose a good time for a sneak attack. The temperature hasn't risen yet, so it's the perfect time for you to leave."
Guan Han felt his pride take a hit, withdrew his hand, and scoffed.
"Let's go."
The eyes of the other three team members were red with anger!
They wouldn't even go through the motions of being polite!?
But they couldn't win a fight, couldn't escape, and their energy had been stripped away... In such a one-sided battle, what else could be said?
One by one, they gritted their teeth and boarded the aircraft.
Many of the viewers watching the live stream had already woken up.
"These guys from Walker are way too arrogant, aren't they? ...I like it!!"
"People with real strength all have personality!"
"Speaking of personality... Qilin's strength must be incredible!"
"They won, so they won! Is there a need to humiliate people like this!?"
"The person above shouldn't be so fragile. You call this humiliation!? If they were on a real battlefield, they'd be dead!"
"This isn't a battlefield! Don't try to change the subject!"
With Beichen Military Academy out, only five military academies remained in the mecha competition.
Wu Fangyu counted the spoils of war. The rest wasn't important, but Beichen's backup energy hadn't even been used yet! Coupled with the energy blocks just dismantled from their mechas, they finally didn't have to worry about energy problems anymore!
"My mecha's energy has 53% left. Added to what they had left, it can basically be used as a brand new block! Three energy blocks should be enough for the rest of the way."
As a mecha mechanic, he had already maximized the mechas' sand resistance and heat dissipation performance.
His only worry was the energy issue. Who knew Beichen would be so generous as to deliver a gift package at dawn!?
Plus the wave of mutant beasts from just now, Walker had practically hit the jackpot!
"This pile of scorpions is edible."
The assault specialist, Taylor, took a walk around the pile of mutant beast corpses and brought back some of the scorpions that looked relatively intact.
Hiranuma Yusho checked the time.
"It will be another two hours before the sun comes up. Let's use this time to roast the scorpions and share them.
We won't stop at noon. Now that we have sufficient energy, we can head to the danger zone to farm points.
Wu Fangyu, tune up everyone's mechas in advance."
"Understood."
