Chapter 2, I Love Summer Language Ice Club

"Hey? That's strange, Tuo Luo, why doesn't your mecha core have the Tianyou Mandala?" Qing Hong raised his hand to open the cockpit of a mecha, only to discover a fatal flaw in these mechas, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The arcane cannon is an old machine gun. Qinghong analyzed with a face as somber as water, "The barrel must be replaced; it has already deformed, and the ammunition feed hopper needs to be cleaned. The armor is partially old, with cracks, requiring temporary welding. I need one Aojing electric welding gun, one Aojing electric cutting tool, one electronic threaded drill, eighty B1052 alloy screws and nuts, fifty J14 bolts, and 2.3 square meters of 70-millimeter thick alloy plates as spares"

Come, let me show you my mech!" Yama embraced his shoulder and led him through the door

"No wonder you have been working as a child laborer in the mecha repair shop for ten years," Yintuo said with a smile after giving his instructions to Qinghong. "With you on our team this time, we will definitely advance in the preliminaries."

Qing Hong pointed to the name above the club and finally couldn't help but say, "Can you be a bit more provocative?"

Qing Hong shook her head, internally complaining, "With such a name, it would be embarrassing even if I became famous."

"How is it?" Yin Tuo Luo asked nervously

Is this guy going to die if he doesn't act flamboyantly?" Looking up at the name of the club, Qinghong couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Hmm? Qinghong does not understand

What do the youths of the Heraldic Century play? Team competition mechas https://www.hetushu.com

"At seven thirty tonight, there will be a live broadcast across the entire federation. The Mecha Channel of Qianxiu Television has also reserved a spot for us in the prime time slot. This time, I Love Xia Yubing Mecha Team will definitely become popular throughout Qianxiu City," said Yin Tuo excitedly

Based on the characteristics of the Mandragora, a brand-new mech has emerged, utilizing the Mandragora as its core. It is equipped externally with drives, weapons, and armor. The mech pilot inserts their emblem into the slot of the control panel, activating the embedded magic circle within the mech. This forms a magical circuit that passes through the Mandragora. Whenever the mech is activated, the suction cups of the Mandragora attach to the mech pilot, thereby amplifying their spiritual awareness by dozens or even hundreds of times. This, in turn, drives magical energy that exceeds the emblem, enhancing the pilot's abilities by dozens or even hundreds of times, making the emblem mech a formidable weapon that attracts attention. Therefore, the emblem mech is also known by another name—the Mandragora Mech.

I can't believe it..." Qinghong couldn't help but burst into laughter

The Celestial Mandala can be regarded as another epoch-making discovery by the Emblem Federation following the Emblem Magic Circle. Its application directly led to the emergence of Emblem Mechas. In the year 103 of the Emblem Era, the great inventor Nicholas Fatt discovered the marvelous mutated species—the Celestial Mandala. It is a spirit-type vine plant with a metallic hue, often entwined around trees and bearing bronze-colored fruits. Once the fruits mature, tendrils with suction cups will grow outside the fruit skin, gradually forming shapes resembling the skeletal structures of humans or animals. When they capture faint magical energy, they will drop from the branches, using their tendrils to walk upright, moving towards the source and attaching their suction cups to the source of magical dispersion. Often, this source is the Emblem Mage themselves. When the Emblem Mage begins to exchange magical energy using their spiritual consciousness, they often resonate with their spiritual consciousness to amplify it proportionally in order to absorb more dispersed magical energy.

"Hong Hong, you are here!" The sweet and cloying call echoed within the club.

"The broken gong, are you not going to buy it?" Yin Tuo quickly waved his hand. The broken gong immediately grabbed the hastily noted parts information and dashed out the door.

The five competition-grade emblematic mechas purchased by Yintuo are unexpectedly all processed items. Among them, three are arcane cannon mechas designed for heavy firepower output, one is a heavy-duty mecha equipped with an alloy heavy shield, and another is an assault mecha utilizing two titanium steel long swords. These mechas are favored by beginners and are of the centaur type, featuring a humanoid upper body equipped with all weapons, while the lower body is clad in alloy armor. They are supported by four titanium mechanical legs, providing exceptional stability without the drawbacks of tipping over, falling backward, or excessive swaying. However, they lack jumping capabilities and are less agile than fully armored humanoid mechas, posing a risk of collapse in close combat against experienced mecha pilots.

"Can you be a bit more provocative?" said Indra with a sly smile, narrowing his eyes.

Hahaha, upon hearing Qinghong's question, Indra laughed, "Of course we can't install that kind of thing; this is a competition, not a battle. If we install the Tianyou Mandala, people will die! Moreover, we haven't even become official emblem mecha pilots yet; we only have a learner's license for driving. This time, the armor strength we are using is one-tenth of the combat-ready armor, and the bullets are all training rounds. The competition determines that if one side's armor is damaged by more than 40%, it is different from actual combat."

Like the over ten thousand teachers and students in the entire school, Indra was utterly fascinated by her, almost obsessively so. However, Qinghong still believed that he at least had some semblance of a man's bottom line. Yet now he realized that the only merit of this troublesome friend was his shamelessness in flaunting his lower limits

This time, the four-yearly Beidouxing District Sanwang Cup Newcomer Competition has ignited people's enthusiasm for mecha competitions. Although this newcomer competition is merely an event for amateur mecha engineers, its influence among the general public is no less than that of the professional mecha team championship cup. People are eagerly looking forward to participating not only because the champion team will receive a prize of 2 million emblem coins, but also because it is an opportunity to showcase their talents to the mecha companies and mercenary groups of the three major provinces of Beidouxing. If a newcomer is noticed by a renowned mecha company or a high-level mercenary group, it could mean a base annual salary of hundreds of thousands of emblem coins and bonuses that can reach millions in an instant. Even in the worst mecha mercenary groups, a regular mecha engineer's income far exceeds that of an ordinary person's annual salary. The growth potential of emblem mecha engineers is limitless, with nearly infinite possibilities. Those who truly reach the pinnacle of their craft can become walking deities among men. This is also the reason why people are driven to madness over it.

Qinghong's face displayed a mixture of pride and sentiment. Due to his father's influence, he harbored an enduring affection for mechas. Thus, at the age of 8, he persistently clung to the opportunity to work at his father's retired subordinate's repair shop, earning money in hopes of getting closer to mechas. All his knowledge about mechas was acquired from that place.

As a representative of the Emblem Era, mecha pilots have become the most promising and exciting profession of this age, captivating millions of young people in the Emblem Federation with their regal presence. Every young person who has just become an Emblem User, regardless of whether they meet the standards to become a mecha engineer, yearns to experience the thrill of operating a mecha in battle. It is akin to the street youths in 21st century America, who, whether or not they can participate in the NBA, at least seek out a hoop to shoot some hoops.

"Because my dad won't let me play with mechas, I had no choice but to register the club under your name. So officially speaking, this name was chosen by you," Yin Tuo Luo said with a sly grin.

Xia Yubing is the celestial maiden of the Qianxiu Mecha Academy, a super genius with an IQ exceeding 220, possessing an eidetic memory and computational abilities comparable to large computers. She is undoubtedly the foremost talent in the entire Northern Three Provinces. At the age of 7, she became a Level 1 Array Emblem Master; by 12, she had advanced to a Celestial Emblem Master (Level 6); and by 16, she had reached the monstrous level (Level 7) of Emblem Master, with the Central Government of the Emblem Federation already aware of her talents. In a year, during the Southern Return Expedition in the Northern Three Provinces, she will hold a precious position as an elite talent, and she may have the opportunity to become the first person from the Northern Three Provinces to return to the Central Federation.

Today, we are relying on your jailbreak rabbit-style complete repair technique to shine! Yin Tuo Luo wrapped his arm around his shoulder, shook him vigorously, and said with delight

Uh... Qing Hong's tiger-like body trembled three times

What did the youth of the rock era play? They formed bands to enjoy music together

Oh... this is also Qinghong's first time personally experiencing such an exciting event, and he is unaware of the details involved. Today has truly opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, barely calming his excited emotions, and said: "Then I will go do some simple repairs. When does the regional competition start?"

Qing Hong could not escape the common customs; upon hearing his good friend Yin Tuoluo mention the term "mecha region newcomer competition," he felt an irresistible urge. When he also learned that there was an income of 20,000 yuan, he was practically ready to risk everything. He rushed back to his university—Qianxiu Mecha Academy—without pausing, heading straight to the entrance of the mecha club established solely by Yin Tuoluo—"I Love Xia Yubing Club."
