Chapter 27: Mechanical Show
Western Suburbs
‘Left...right...left...forward...rear roll...
While talking to himself, Ma Ping'an firmly grasped the joystick in his hand, and a golden mecha made various gestures as he directed.
Although I saw a lot of them and had also been operated in the simulated combat instrument of the second old man, this was the first time I actually used it.
Fortunately, Ma Ping'an seemed to have an instinctive advantage that was almost genius against these combat equipment, and it was extremely flexible to operate it soon.
But looking at the posture of the mecha's huge body, it seems like an old lady is dancing rhythmically...
This X-5 was originally silver, but after being coated with super silicone synthetic powder, it turned golden yellow. The beam plus energy gun has reached the limit of 150 energy degrees, and its overall performance is much better than the two miscellaneous mechas.
"shooting..."
As soon as the mechanical synthesis sounded, an arc-shaped blue light appeared at the top of the beam plus energy gun in the left hand.
Hu Si immediately rushed out with a nervous face, like an old hen protecting cubs, spreading his hands wide: "Brother Dama, don't do anything randomly... I can't stand your troubles like this here..."
"Just kidding..."
Ma Ping'an sat in the driving compartment and looked at the piles of instruments next to him, and laughed dryly a few times in embarrassment.
After putting on a few posses, Ma Ping'an shook the mecha's head and began to get bored: "Well, I have to find a place to play and see how your modifications are!
You can't let some people eat so much roast chicken in vain... What if... Hum......"
Ma Ping'an smiled and looked at the old man who was huddling his legs in a pile of boxes, trying to eliminate the food in his hands.
The mecha's round head turned around in cooperation, and I happened to see the old man's middle finger raised, and a trace of greasy chicken hung in his nails...

New Magic City Machinery Show
This huge arched building with a strange name and is located on the ruins of the ancient Nanpu Bridge, which is actually just a mecha club.
Logically speaking, such a place should not exist--it is illegal for private ownership of mechas in the alliance.
But for various reasons, this club has become a popular place for rich people to enjoy.
Of course, most of the people who came here are just young people in their family. Naturally, the identity of customers is one of the important reasons why this club can continue to exist without any trouble.
This is the place where young powerful people vent their power and find excitement.
After the birth of the mecha, it soon became the most important part of these guys' toy list.
Using mechas to fight for wealth quickly replaced speed and became the most popular fashion.
If you don’t have muscles to show off in front of a beautiful woman, then showing off your mighty mecha is also a good choice.
Money is not a problem for these rich disciples, so a mecha that costs tens of millions of yuan often costs tens of millions of yuan to modify. Not to mention the performance, the fancy appearance alone is enough to make people stunned.
Ma Ping'an was in such a confusion at this time.
First there is a dazzling neon light. Below the neon lights, there is a row of sculptures full of metallic atmosphere.
In the sculpture is an entrance more than four meters wide, with strange mechas walking around in it.
Some of the shells are covered with diamonds, some are equipped with a pure gold sword, and some are sprayed with various strange patterns.
There is even a mecha that is covered with huge male genitals...
"Is this a mecha party or a circus and fashion show?"
Ma Ping'an couldn't help but wonder if he had chosen to come.
Is the decision to test the power of the modified X-5 right here?
Although the Internet information says that the mechanical show is the place where the brand new Magic City has the most advanced mechas.
But after wasting thousands of energy, they had already reached the door, so I had to go in and take a look.
"Fuck, one ticket costs 5,000 yuan. The boss of this place is from a robber..."
After spending 5,000 yuan to buy a ticket, Ma Ping'an drove the mecha to the door with a cursing look.
A metal sculpture suddenly moved, stretched out a mechanical arm, took the ticket, pointed forward, and spit out two mechanical synthesized sounds: "Please come in!"
The entrance is a long automatic transmission channel, and the lights full of psychedelic effects decorate it into the appearance of a time and space tunnel.
After that, there was a hall, and there were four other transmission channels next to the hall, each with a large sign hanging on it, namely the ‘Mecha Fighting Arena’, ‘Mecha Show Field,’ ‘Mecha Exhibition Hall,’ ‘Mecha Modification Department’.
Thinking about his purpose, Ma Ping'an stepped onto the transmission path leading to the 'Mecha Stadium' without hesitation.
The mecha arena is a huge venue with a size of nearly 20,000 square meters. It looks like a sports field with a long runway around it.
Next to the runway are rows of extremely large seats, each of which is enough for two mechas to squeeze in it at the same time.
There is a jack under each seat. Just enter your identity chip account and password on the button above the jack, and after deducting the corresponding fee, you can help your mecha to have sufficient energy.
When Ma Ping'an arrived, there were already many mechas sitting next to the arena.
Here, in order to prevent accidents such as being stomped, except for the mecha bar, only driving mechas is allowed in other places.
From time to time, there were bursts of cheers and screams coming from time to time. The sound transmitted through mechanical synthesis seemed harsh and unpleasant, just like a group of huge flies flying around in their ears, making Ma Ping'an, who had felt this scene for the first time, couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Turn on the audio filter, it was a little better, but when I saw the mechas next to me shaking their heads and having fun, I seemed to be careless, and I was obviously used to it.
In the center of the venue, there are about a dozen milky white light shields of hundreds of square meters, and several mechas are playing in them.
Blue light flew out from the beam plus energy gun, hitting the energy shield next to it and splashed brilliant waves of light.
Ma Ping'an clicked on the virtual screen in front of the seat, which contained an introduction to the rules of the competition.
In each game, both sides must pay 20,000 yuan as the cost of using the energy shield and the venue, and the game time is ten minutes.
To prevent casualties, the competition venue was filled with a gas called "sustained release particles", which could reduce the power of the beam-plus energy gun by 90%. Even if it hit, it would not cause much damage.
But the electronic scorer will automatically judge, restore your attack and defense coefficients, and score based on the number of hits and the number of hits and parts you are hit.
If it is determined that either side has suffered a devastating blow, the battle will automatically end.
If not, the winner will be determined based on the score after the ten-minute battle.
There are also speed races and obstacle races, which are all performed on the tracks around the field, but because they are not exciting enough, few people play that.
Ma Ping observed quietly for a while and found that there were really many powerful guys in the mechas on the scene, and there were several extremely rare models.
Just like the difference between Mercedes-Benz and Xiali in ancient times, mechas also have different grades.
Lianmeng Machinery Group is a military-industrial enterprise of the Alliance. The X series they produce is the standard main road product, just like the ancient Santana.
There is also the Starlight series of Sky Development United, which is slightly higher-end than the X series, but at most it is only Nissan's first-class.
And the best ones are those limited edition mechas produced by the Weapons Institute.
Each of these mechas is manually assembled.
Unlike the main road goods produced in assembly lines, each of their parts has undergone the most rigorous testing and every part uses the most cutting-edge technology, so the performance is far beyond that of ordinary mechas.
Of course, because of the high cost, these mechas cannot be produced in large quantities, so they are very rare.
The most famous ones are the S series produced by Alliance Machinery Group Research Institute, the Starry Sky series produced by Sky Development United Company Research Institute, the Knight series produced by Gu Europe Science and Technology Alliance, and the Warring States series produced by Dongji Weapon Research Foundation.
These series of products have their own advantages. Although the specific data has not been released due to confidentiality reasons, they are undoubtedly the top mechas, and the price is naturally the top.
It is said that the cheapest S series must be tens of millions per unit, while the most expensive Knight series has models in units of billions.
At this time, in the mecha fighting in the light shield below, there were five S, two starry sky, and one knight...
"Sure enough, I'm not here in the wrong place. These five thousand are worth the money!"
Suddenly discovering these powerful opponents, Ma Ping'an couldn't help but feel inexplicable.
First, I entered my mecha model and identity chip number on the virtual screen, and then I copied the registration fee of 20,000 yuan amidst the swearing, and a number 08-019A appeared on the virtual screen.
According to the above instructions, it is the 19th group competition in the eighth venue. The number is A and the opponent is B.
I looked up and observed. Now the 8th venue has just reached 011, and there is still time.
Let’s look at the crazy mechas in the field. Just in case, I think it’s better to replenish the energy level used on the road when I came here just now, so I connected the energy input port of the mechanical equipment to the socket in front of the seat.
With a 'drop' sound, several numbers popped up on the LCD screen - 'You need to replenish energy by 6300 degrees, please pay 63,000 yuan'...
"Fuck, a little energy is ten yuan, why don't you grab it?"
Ma Ping'an suddenly widened his eyes. The civilian energy outside was only 0.5 yuan at one point, and it was twenty times more expensive here...
Damn it, it's okay to lose 6300 degrees anyway. After looking at the lack of only a small energy degree display bar in the mecha, Ma Ping'an muttered and prepared to close the energy input port.
"Oh my god, is this a brothel... As long as you insert it, you don't want to leave without paying?"
Three seconds later, looking at the energy input port that could not be pulled out, Ma Ping'an felt raped and entered his account with a sad face...
Chapter completed!
