I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

In fact, Huo Linyuan knew very well that Qi Yan was anxious.

After learning about Qi Yan's past and the composition of this world, he was also surprised, but when the surprise faded, only relief remained.

If possible, he would rather Qi Yan had never been exposed to these conspiracies and intrigues.

His youth should always be carefree.

"The Mecha League is a competitive game organized by the online world. It has a cycle of four calendar years. The entire race is divided into thirteen competition areas, and each area has its own competition arena."

"During the selection period, anyone can challenge on stage, and whoever wins the championship in the end can go to the Star Leader to participate in the finals."

The Mecha League was originally a friendly match launched by major interstellar academies. Due to its popularity among a large number of mecha enthusiasts, it was later extended to the entire interstellar space.

The competition system has also changed from offline actual combat to a composite competition system. Only by passing the selection in the virtual world sub-competition areas can one finally participate in the actual combat in the finals.

"What are the rewards for winning the championship?" Qi Yan asked curiously.

Generally, competitions like this have generous rewards, because only in this way can they attract enough people to participate.

"In addition to the generous bonuses, there are slight differences in the rewards for each season. This year's winner will receive a high-end mecha newly launched by Galaxy Corporation and a high-end mental potion. In addition..."

"Each winner will receive a place, which is the pass to the Interstellar Academy."

"With this pass, the winner can freely choose to enroll in any interstellar academy, including the Imperial Military Academy."

And this is what makes everyone keep coming forward.

Due to the royal family's control over the centralized political power, the resource allocation gap among interstellar academies has become increasingly larger, and more than half of the top ten interstellar academies in the entire galaxy are concentrated in the main galaxy.

Those who can graduate from these colleges will eventually become leaders in their respective fields.

Correspondingly, the admission thresholds of these colleges are very high.

Excluding the internal allocation among major lords, aristocratic families and other powerful forces every year, the remaining places are fought over by ordinary people.

The Imperial Military Academy, as the highest institution of learning in the entire galaxy, not only has the most stringent admission requirements, it is also the most coveted place for all mecha warriors.

"Imperial Military Academy..." Qi Yan recited these words. He remembered that Huo Linyuan graduated from here, and he is still the holder of the academic record list of the three departments of the academy.

At this time, they had followed the crowd to the inner field, which was filled with noise.

Huo Linyuan held Qi Yan in his arms and walked through the crowded passage.

The design of the entire stadium was a bit like the Western European arena that Qi Yan had seen in his previous life. The stands were circular, divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Their location was in the middle, where the view was the best.

On the stage below, two mechas, one gray and one blue, were already in place.

Because many people sign up to participate every day, in order to improve the efficiency of the competition, each competition area has a stage selection system.

Within one month, those who finally win the stage qualifiers can participate in the ring challenge, and the winner of the ring challenge will become the champion and accept the next ring challenge.

Each region will produce an annual champion every year, and the annual champion will go to Lingxing to participate in the finals.

As the popularity of the Mecha League has remained high on StarNet, over time, an industrial chain has gradually evolved from the competition mechanism.

In addition to the various arenas, there are also many underground arenas that secretly run gambling houses.

"Now everyone has come to the arena of our much-anticipated eleventh stage qualifiers. Whoever wins the stage qualifiers today will directly challenge our reigning champion, Wild Wolf."

"Now we see that both players have taken their positions on the field. The players participating today are Taishan, who stood out from the crowd with his strength in the stage qualifiers, and Mingyan, the dark horse that has attracted the most attention this year."

“Let us give the two contestants our warmest cheers and look forward to their wonderful performances.”

As the commentator spoke passionately, the whole audience burst into screams.

In his previous life, Qi Yan had never participated in such a passionate event in person, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Huo Linyuan covered his ears and pressed his head against his chest.

The virtual world is made up of spiritual consciousness, and all their senses are directly perceived through mental power.

So strictly speaking, the surrounding sounds are not heard through the ears, but are a kind of mental feedback.

But for some reason, when Huo Linyuan covered his ears, Qi Yan clearly felt that the noise around him became much quieter.

As the game started, the stadium returned to silence.

Huo Linyuan let go of Qi Yan. At this time, Qi Yan noticed that there was a light screen in front of each seat, which displayed the data information of the two contestants.

Tarzan: A-class humanoid mecha, power type.

Advantages: close combat, damage value of four stars; Disadvantages: slow speed, flexibility of three stars.

Mingyan: A-class humanoid mecha, speed type.

Advantages: long-range attack, damage value of four stars; Disadvantages: not good at close combat, flexibility of four stars.

Below the introduction is a video display of the mecha. Click it to view the detailed data of the mecha.

The one named Tarzan uses a gray mecha, which is taller than ordinary mechas in terms of its design.

The blue mecha used by Mingyan is designed to be more compact in order to reduce frictional resistance.

The huge difference in models adds a lot of highlights to this game.

The level of mecha in the virtual world does not correspond to the level in reality. The mecha here is more like an operating system.

Different levels of mechas correspond to different levels of operating systems, which test the driver's control over his mental strength.

To put it bluntly, compared with actual combat, mecha battles in the virtual world are more like theoretical combat.

Just like the real world, the mecha levels in the virtual world range from D to S, and even SS.

Since the Mecha League has no clear restrictions on the level of mechas, participants can freely choose the participating mechas.

However, the higher the level of the mecha, the greater the burden and consumption of mental power it puts on it, so the higher the level does not necessarily mean the more advantages it has.

Experienced contestants often choose the level of mecha according to their own mental strength level.

Now there are two A-class mechas on the field, and they are evenly matched in level.

At the beginning of the game, the blue mecha took the lead in attacking, and its flexible movements immediately drew cheers from the audience.

The gray mecha clearly had an absolute advantage in strength, and after several rounds, the two were deadlocked.

The blue mecha has been using flexible movement to avoid head-on confrontations. Over time, the gray mecha, which has been unable to output effectively, has become visibly irritable.
