A total of 432 teams were shortlisted for the sea qualifiers, which is the largest number of participating teams in history. Because of this, the qualifiers were changed to an eight-machine scuffle of overcoming obstacles and treasures. In this way, only The next 54 teams.

For the next knockout round, the rules are even more simple and rough. 54 teams will draw lots to compete in pairs. The winner will advance to the next round, and the loser will go home.The final 27 teams, plus the five A-level teams, happen to be the top 32 of this year's BattleBots.

In the next knockout match, Truman took advantage of the mascot and had unprecedented good luck again, meeting another old acquaintance, the SPX team.

SPX is the team that played in the air-raid shelter No. [-] of the Github bar before. It is a three-person team of pure Asian descent, and these three people are also a pair of triplets.The reason why I say it is good luck is because this is the Github bar, Truman is the only team that can [-]v[-] and can win steadily, ah, it is not that the opponent is weak, but because Truman has zero sense of direction and The completely unpredictable tactics, coupled with the special "initial machine", just defeated SPX, a team that relies almost entirely on probability and algorithm calculations.

But in fact, Truman didn't really want to face this team, not only because they were Asian, but also because the triplets challenged him for two weeks in a row, and they were already friends who could drink and chat together.

When Truman was still struggling, Roberto never thought of arranging for Truman to join the battle.

The self-confident Truman: "..."

Roberto said, "Your daughter-in-law is in charge of this round, and you are the one to assist."

Truman, who was resurrected with full blood in an instant: "I promise to complete the task!"

Truman looked at Shi Kuang with a sense of responsibility, "I will definitely protect you with all my strength."

"Okay," Shi Kuang rubbed Trumen's cheeks, he suddenly didn't want Trumen to grow up, he hoped that Trumen could be so heartless, that he didn't even need to know what it was like to be sad.

……

The venue for the knockout round is obviously smaller than the qualifying round, with a 48'x48' fully enclosed stage, so it's harder for spectators to buy tickets.

What Truman didn't expect was that he saw a field of khaki and familiar sign slogans at the scene.Hundreds of little radish heads were fighting fiercely. They were already shouting and cheering at the top of their lungs just at the beginning, causing the surrounding adults to stare at them frequently. They hesitated between shouting or not shouting, and then gave up struggling. The fact that he is already old.

Truman picked up Sienna, feeling a little helpless, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to protect you," Sienna kissed Truman on the face and snorted, "Our big baby can't be bullied."

Truman's ears were red, but he said seriously and severely, "Don't you all go to class?"

"Oh, I'm on leave."

"Parents can only ask for leave," Truman glared at Roberto, "Don't your parents care?"

Roberto glanced at it, and Sienna shivered and hugged Truman tighter.

"Big baby," Sienna resorted to her trump card in order to stay away from the depressed brother, "let's go find Mr. Beauty."

"Oh, he's studying the Trayvon game." Truman was immediately distracted, turned away from Roberto's sight, and walked towards his wife.

"It's that black kid, Team BLACK?"

"Ah."

The BLACK team played much harder than them because they encountered strong opponents.

Their computers and mechs were all in tatters. When they lifted them up, the crowd booed and was ridiculed by the host, "It's not as expensive as the opponent's wheels." But after the game, everyone stood up and cheered. , The applause and screams lasted for a long time.

The host asked why his mech looked broken, is this a strategy? Trayvon grinned calmly, "Oh, our mechs are collected from scrap yards. If the audience has unwanted metal scraps of electrical equipment, they can send them to our BLACK scrap recycling bin. They are absolutely high quality and cheap" - he There was also an advertisement for collecting waste products on the spot.

……

"I discovered a secret," Sienna suddenly leaned into Truman's ear, "The 'treasure' for overcoming obstacles is a bling-bling 'ball of light', do you know that?"

"Yeah. I know."

"Trayvon secretly changed the flickering value of the 'light sphere' to form a set of Morse codes. The Morse code was deciphered to be 713710. I found out later that 713 is his birthday, and 710 is Lolita's birthday."

"..."

Still have time to change this.

It is simply idle.

"The point is, 713710 in base 32 is the word LOVE!!! He's confessing his love!"

"..."

"Silly Baitian, Xiuenai, you actually lost!"

"Sorry, there is no letter O in base 32"

"You don't have it in your base 32, but he has it! This is the base 32 he customized for Lolita! It's so romantic!"

"..." Truman was shown his face, but he still retorted unwillingly, "Lolita can't understand."

"Hehe, even I can understand - you underestimate women too much"

"..."

..................................................................

It was amazing that they met the unprofessional host or game commentator again.

Obviously, the host was even more excited, "Everyone, you saw me again, no, we saw the S-WOLF team again, please remember this S, maybe the WOLF team will become an S-level team, although now The empire doesn’t have an S-level team yet, but—there is still a dream! Who would have thought that I could also become the host of BattleBots, and survive to the knockout round, it’s like a dream!”

"So, who is the opponent of the S-WOLF team today? It turned out to be the SPZ team—a SPZ team that I have never heard of! This team turned out to be a purely Asian team. Sure enough, all Asians look exactly the same. Their facial features, height and clothes are all the same. Does this mean that in their eyes, we white people all look the same, I finally understand what racial face blindness is, this is really a A very terrible thing..."

"The operator they sent today is--Asian No. [-], well, his name doesn't matter, we just know that this is an Asian. And the mecha they participated in looks very cool, compared to 'The Hero in the Black Bottom', the appearance of this mecha is simply epic."

When the two teams meet and the captain shakes hands, the scene is very friendly, but the host can't stand to pick things up——

"Look, the camera is on Adam"

"Everyone is wondering whether he will vomit!"

"In the past, we only knew whether a person was ugly or not, but we had no way to answer how ugly the person was. Now we have a standard and a principle, which is——Adam Ugly Principle!"

"Did Adam throw up at all, did he throw up, God, he turned, he turned again! The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but—he didn't spit it out"

"Did he swallow everything he wanted to vomit!"

"Even though it's for peace and friendship, this is disgusting! Adam, how did you do that!"

"Because of racial face blindness, we can't judge the appearance of SPZ, but Adam gave the answer: they are ugly, so ugly that they are about to vomit and swallow..."

……

Predictably, the SPZ triplets were livid.

In fact, the three of them are really not ugly, black hair and black eyes, tall, a little fat, although the facial features are ordinary, but it makes people feel very comfortable to look at, baby fat faces, there are small dimples when they smile .

However, Adam really just twitched the corner of his mouth just now.

Who the hell can be expressionless and indifferent after hearing such an explanation?

But this girder has really come to an end!

This is no longer a battle about honor, but a battle about appearance!

"Hey," Truman couldn't help sighing, "The big light bulb is really professional in spreading hatred."

Adam: "..."

He regretted not wearing headphones just now.

Hot chicken host, don't explain the mecha well, what are you talking about.

Anyway, the game will continue.

In the 1v1 battle, the game time is 11 minutes, and the mechs of both sides must do everything possible to destroy each other.If one team's mecha stops moving for 10 seconds due to serious damage, it will be declared out; if both teams can still operate after the game time is over, the referee will score to determine the winner.The scoring criteria are: offensiveness, skill and destructive power.5 points each, highest score wins.

When the operator was in place, the SPZ triplets looked even worse.

They feel like they're being ridiculed again.

It's fine if Truman doesn't bother to fight

How dare he smile at them

What is this, mocking?

Simply unbearable!

……

The camera closes up Truman and his keyboard.

A very ordinary mechanical keyboard cannot be "torn in half" from the middle like the extreme hacker keyboard, and it looks unremarkable. The advantage is obvious, it can fully support open source programming without a mouse.

But obviously, how could this hot chicken host explain this.

"In this round, S-WOLF sent the pair from LOVE, OMG, I can't believe my dog ​​eyes, I absolutely can't believe that they are here to play mechs, they are here to show their love Attention singles at the scene, attention to singles at the scene, in order not to suffer unnecessary harm, please close your dog eyes, they are best at showing affection regardless of occasion and location, and they will definitely show you Doubt about life..."

"Look, S-WOLF's mascot is ready, he touched his keyboard, his expression was very confident, then he glanced at the operator with affectionate eyes, oh my god, Mr. Beauty turned around, the two I actually looked at each other, they completed their eyes, such a tacit understanding is really enviable, they must be able to complete the most beautiful cooperation, I feel like my heart has been hit, ah..."

Truman: "..."

Hot chicken host!

Who is so affectionate!

But—well, the tacit understanding is real
