A fifth-level divine envoy was something Lu Ping was not sure he could deal with even if he tried his best.
At least he has never dealt with an enemy of this level!
In addition, the opponent never left Xi Xin's side, and there were no robots in the room for the Ghost Sword Girl to control. Therefore, Lu Ping could only let her help keep an eye on the opponent for the time being, waiting for a turn of events.
On the other hand, the "Garbage Bug Competition" that Ghost Sword mentioned before is about to begin...
Lu Ping has been talking to her in the past few days and has gradually figured out the situation about this competition, and he has also agreed to the Ghost Sword Girl's request to help her in the competition and try to win the championship!
The reason why Lu Ping agreed was that he wanted her to do her best to help him deal with Xi Xin and help him whenever she could. The second reason was that he had learned more about the extraordinary organization "Garbage Bug Alliance" in Neptune City in the past few days and found that here There are really many geniuses in mechanical modification among the people!
Lupine himself has incorporated the Crystal Palace into his own power... The Crystal Palace not only has genetic extraordinary people, but also has many mechanical extraordinary people.
Moreover, the management of a force should naturally develop it in an all-round way and should not have too obvious shortcomings. In terms of genetic modification, Lupine can create a powerful recombinant state comparable to the "God-making Sequence". This aspect can be said to have huge potential and is not inferior to the Yujin Organization. However, in terms of mechanical modification, he knows nothing about it!
In Neptune City, more than 90% of the extraordinary beings are mechanical extraordinary people. The mechanical technology they have mastered, as well as the various powerful prosthetics and weapons and equipment they have transformed, are undoubtedly in great need of the Crystal Palace...
Lupine admitted that he was a little greedy.
And this brings us back to the annual "Garbage Bug Contest".
The competition has a very interesting rule - against both sides, the winner can unconditionally select a prosthetic body/component from the loser and take it directly as his own!
Because the contestants are basically mechanically extraordinary, this rule is simply extremely tempting!
In the battle of mechanical extraordinary, the competition is who can build a more powerful semi-mechanical body. Everyone will bring out their most proud modified prosthetic body to participate. It will be equipped with the best-performing armor plates, the most powerful weapons, the most powerful energy cores, the most explosive prosthetics, and the most powerful auxiliary chips...
This also means that once you win, you can often get the most valuable components from the opponent!
And if the two parties are evenly matched opponents, then their financial resources are usually about the same, and the best components of the other party are likely to be rare good things for you! Even if you don't need it, you can still sell it for money or go to the black market to replace it with the prosthetic body you need.
Because of such exciting rules, the annual Garbage Bug Competition attracts a large number of mechanical prodigies to sign up for the competition.
Lupine also took a fancy to this rule... His idea was simpler. As long as he kept winning, he could continue to take the opponent's most proud modified prosthetic body/weapon from these mechanical extraordinary people in Neptune City and equip them back. When it comes to the mechanical extraordinary people in the Crystal Palace, their strength can be greatly increased easily!
Of course, the better way is to store it in the warehouse first, and then reward whoever performs well, which is an extra weight to control your subordinates.
Compared with the big cities controlled by the God Lords, the foundation of the small underwater city of Crystal Palace is still too weak. At best, it can only be regarded as a refugee camp.
Lu Ping, the actual controller of the city, naturally feels like he wants to pocket every good thing he sees outside...
As for why Ghost Sword must drag Lu Ping into the competition?
Lupine was a little amused when he thought about the reason.
Because the Garbage Bug Competition is an annual event, each session has a different theme, and this year, the theme of the Southern Region where they are located is a 2V2 two-player battle.
All applicants must find a partner to engage in 2V2 battles!
After the winner was determined, the two winners each selected a favorite prosthetic body from the two losers.
The reason for this is because the king of the South Territory, the local transcendent, is a couple of garbage bugs. They are also two of the only five cyber warriors in the entire garbage bug alliance as mentioned by Ghost Horse Blade Princess!
two
A veteran cyber warrior, the wealth and equipment accumulated over the years have already been built into a giant mecha called "Gel Tyrannosaurus". Due to the excessive neural load on the driver, this mecha must be controlled by two people. Move freely.
The two of them jointly controlled the Steel Tyrannosaurus and became famous, representing the ceiling of mechanical extraordinary combat power in the entire Tiankeng District South I ~ South VI. Therefore, the two have the reputation of a fairy couple.
Who would have thought that this garbage couple, the King of the Southern Territory, would actually have a falling out at the end of last year!
The two have been separated for more than half a year, and have announced to the public that they have divorced. Naturally, this giant mecha that requires two people to control has also been gathering dust for more than half a year.
In this competition, the championship prize is the "Gel Tyrannosaurus" mecha!
The two veteran cyber warriors had obviously decided to separate completely, but they didn't want to let the mecha with their deep feelings fall into dust, so they took it out as the prize for this championship.
The problem is that no one who gets this prize can use it.
It must be a tacit understanding and good cooperation between two people. Only when they get it can it truly play its role.
That’s why the first-ever 2V2 themed garbage bug competition was created!
————
The venue for the competition is in South Zone III. The garbage area here is wider than the other sectors.
The interior of one of the largest garbage mountains was hollowed out, forming a large underground square that never saw the light of day.
"Brother Hunter, thank you so much." The crystal mechanical girl stood side by side with Lupine in the long queue at the registration office. She turned to look at Lupine with a sincere tone, "If it weren't for you, I really can't think of anyone else who would be willing to join us. I form a team."
At this time, Lu Ping looked a little strange.
There are several transmission rods at the elbow joints of his arms, which are equipped with a pair of mechanical exoskeleton assist devices.
The same goes for both knee positions.
But at the same time, he also appears as a hunter...
So it looks like a semi-mechanically transformed humanoid lizard man!
Of course, his image is not too strange. Some of the garbage bugs who came to compete were also dressed in similar costumes. They added some mechanical devices to the aliens.
Of course, some of these people are truly transcendent beings who have undergone both genetic and mechanical transformation.
But most of them are similar to Lupine, they are fighting aliens with some mechanical structures forcibly installed on their bodies!
There's no way around it. If you don't have any mechanical components in your body, you're not allowed to participate in the Garbage Bug Competition. Otherwise, if someone beats you, there'll be nothing to take away.
I can't just take a piece of meat from you - not to mention it won't be worth anything.
As for the entire Neptune City Garbage Bug Alliance, although mechanical transformers account for 90%, there are still 10% aliens! Among them, those with some fighting ability would not want to give up the opportunity to participate. After all, with the alien's fighting ability, if they win the game, they will make a fortune in vain. It doesn't matter if they lose. At worst, the mechanical structure used to show off will be destroyed If someone takes it away, there will be no real loss.
Because of this...it is everyone's consensus that foreigners participate in the competition just to pick up bargains.
Therefore, many people in line looked at Lu Ping with a bit of contempt.
