Chapter 4, Aftermath of the Competition

After this match was uploaded to the most authoritative mecha website in the country, it sparked enthusiastic discussions and attention from over a hundred million mecha enthusiasts across the thirteen provinces of the Federation. Many tactical experts keenly pointed out that the tactics of our team, I Love Xia Yu Bing, maximized the advantages of the terrain, dragging the battle to the front of our maintenance station. After sustaining damage, our mechas could be repaired immediately on-site, while the enemy's damaged mechas had to traverse a long distance back to our maintenance area for repairs. The most obvious example is the second damaged Iron Titan heavy shield mecha, which, due to the long distance, took nearly two minutes to be barely salvaged back to the field.

After the competition, the mysterious mechanic Qinghong, who had suddenly gained fame, returned to the bar to continue his job as a bartender after the first match. On the bar's broken television, he was fortunate enough to witness the subsequent matches. The youth teams from various clubs and mercenary groups showcased the flexible application of advanced magic arrays armed on mechas, leaving him mesmerized and deepening his yearning for emblematic mechas. Ever since he saw the intense battles of figures like Yintuo Luo on the arena, how he longed to don a full set of mecha armor, charge into the arena, and become a hero of the Federation.

Ever since he saw the intense battles of figures like Yintuo Luo on the arena, how he longed to don a full set of mecha armor, charge into the arena, and become a hero of the Federation. However, he did not have the surplus spiritual awareness to do this. His spiritual awareness had been "very busy" since birth.

Qingxiu has a face as slender as a cone and as delicate as a picture book, with bright, watery eyes and long, jet-black hair, resembling a sprite from the wilderness, exuding an ethereal aura. However, her gaze is vacant and bewildered, her complexion pale as a ghost, as the terrifying frostbite gradually devours her fragile life. Whenever Qinghong thinks of this, his heart feels as if it is being squeezed by a ghost, twitching involuntarily.

Several favorable factors combined to create the remarkable performance of the I Love Summer Language Ice Mecha Team, thereby enhancing the club's reputation. This has garnered admiration from experts and industry insiders for the intern mecha engineers within this small club. However, if people were to learn that the tactical strategies of I Love Summer Language Ice were devised by that genius mechanic, these experts and insiders would likely be driven to madness. In this unique era dominated by emblematic magic circles, talent is always the most valuable resource.

Qinghong was so frightened that she jumped out of bed and rushed like the wind to her sister's room. Qingxiu collapsed on the floor, and the food on the tray was scattered all over the ground

Moreover, I love the Summer Language Ice Team for skillfully exploiting the internal conflicts within the Iron Titan Team, repeatedly disrupting the established tactics of the Iron Titan Team by controlling and provoking core members towards transformation, leading to rare operational errors among the team's experts, and even resulting in the foolish act of using heavy artillery as a shield.

Sister www.hetushu.com, I brought black forest cake and egg sandwiches, your favorites, hurry and have some. Qinghong gritted her teeth to suppress the heartache, forced a smile, and helped her sister sit up.

On the front wall of the Qing family's living room hangs a large scroll, on which the two characters "Control Anger" are inscribed in a wild and cursive style. This is the family motto passed down through generations of the Qing family. Due to the condition known as spiritual aberration syndrome, each generation of the Qing family has experienced tragic figures who succumb to madness and beast-like transformations. The only effective way to manage this condition is to successfully restrain one's anger.

Oh no... Qinghong slapped his forehead hard; he had been so focused on earning extra money from the mecha competition today that he forgot to buy groceries. He hurried upstairs, pushed open his sister's bedroom door, and placed the leftover desserts and snacks he had taken from the bar in front of his sister's bed

Ugh... Qingxiu pouted and burst into tears. Although she was a gentle and quiet girl, she was also very strong and optimistic. After falling ill, it was rare to see her show signs of despair, and she often comforted Qinghong, encouraging him to pull himself together. Qinghong always thought her nerves were made of iron, and his affection for her was mixed with admiration. She would never cry easily.

"Brother, are you back?" A weak voice from the upstairs bedroom came from my younger sister.

In the post-match interview, the five Iron Giants players who had never heard Mr. Panda's commentary were completely baffled as to how they lost, each wearing an expression of disbelief. Especially Xiang Hualong, who was eager to point fingers at the dark undercurrents of the match, believing that the I Love Xia Yubing Club had suspicions of cheating

In the era of Qinghong, Qingyonghao discovered an unconventional method to control emotions. This method is a form of health cultivation known as Zhenfan Taiji. The Taiji practice is derived from the Chen-style Taiji, which has been passed down for over a thousand years, while Zhenfan martial arts is the precursor to Jeet Kune Do, emphasizing the transformation and utilization of yin and yang, applying these principles in both boxing techniques and weapon combat. During the Age of Emblems, martial arts experts continued to study traditional Chinese physical arts, establishing Zhenfan Taiji, which integrates health cultivation, fitness, and combat. The unique characteristic of this martial art is its ability to use a method of controlling anger to regulate human emotions, allowing every trace of anger to be settled and sublimated, transforming into a source of power for striking the enemy. Qinghong regarded this skill as a savior, believing that through practice, he could halt the transformation of spiritual consciousness. Therefore, he diligently practiced every day since the age of five.

What is most astonishing is the super mechanic of my beloved Xia Yubing team, who can repair and modify a mech in an average of one and a half minutes. Both their technical skills and quick adaptability are truly exceptional, akin to a character from "Escape from Bunny". The title of "Bunny God" has already begun to spread in the industry due to the influence of Indra.

What, your hetushu.com is paralyzed!? Qinghong felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue

"Sister, what exactly happened? Tell your brother, and he will definitely help you!" Qinghong said with a trembling voice

The next four matches of the regional competition represent the highest level of amateur mech battles in Qianxiu City. Many seed mech competitors equipped with advanced emblem magic arrays made their dazzling appearances, creating numerous climactic moments. However, after a night of intense battles, the most discussed match turned out to be the comeback battle between I Love Xia Yubing and the Beast King Iron Titan. This match was initially expected to be a foregone conclusion, as the Beast King Iron Titan boasts five top experts among amateur mech pilots—Beast Transformation Dragon, Cannon God Qiao William, Demon Blade Island Qingmeng, Little Tyrannosaurus Rodman, and Mountain Demon King Liangchen. They had a great opportunity to shine in the youth teams of various mercenary groups and even to claim the championship title in the regional competition. Yet, they were unexpectedly defeated by a newly established campus club, leaving them in a state of embarrassment.

"That's great, thank you, brother!" Upon hearing about the desserts and snacks, Qingxiu's face revealed a look of contentment and joy, as if having something to eat transported her to paradise. Observing her easily satisfied demeanor, Qinghong felt both affection and sorrow. Due to her condition, her activities had been confined to this empty large house for a long time, preventing her from seeing the outside world. Other girls went to school, socialized, shopped, strolled, engaged in one-night stands, held parties, and traveled to Tianlei Lake, while she could only sit by the bed every day, listening to Qinghong recount stories he heard in bars, and eating the leftovers he brought back.

Brother, I originally wanted to bring the Black Forest cake to you, but... my foot, my foot can't move, the cake... is gone... Wuu—!" Qingxiu said this, already in tears.

"Sister, have you eaten yet?" Qinghong asked, looking up.

Suddenly, a chilling scream echoed from the Qingxiu bedroom.

Qinghong often wished to provide his younger sister with everything that other girls could enjoy, but as an ordinary person, he found it impossible to do so. "Now that I have money, I should buy new medicine," he thought. Looking at the bank card in his hand, a glimmer of hope emerged in his otherwise desolate heart

There is no food left in the refrigerator. Qingxiu's voice sounded particularly weak

"Sister! What happened to you!" Qinghong exclaimed as she knelt down, pulling and dragging Qingxiu up, her voice filled with urgency.

Dragging his weary body, he returned to his home—the Qing family villa. This apartment was a federal reward obtained by his father, General Qing Yonghao, for defeating the super beast horde, located on the edge of the forest near Tianmu Lake in Qianxiu City. Since the disappearance of his father and the passing of his mother, he and his sister, Qing Xiu, have been living alone in this large house owned by the government. They can continue to reside here until his sister turns eighteen, at which point the villa will revert to government ownership, unless the Qing family pays to purchase the property.
