Shadows of the Deep Space

Chapter 1707: Chapter 542: Beginning

At this moment, the female host spoke to everyone.

“Now, let’s explain the duel rules. This duel sets a maximum limit of using Third Generation Mecha, and the use of Nuclear Bombs is prohibited. Each team has 5 official members, 2 alternate members, with a limit of 5 Mechas. The format is team battle mode, damage can be repaired during match intervals, but Mechas cannot be replaced. All participants must sign a life and death agreement, life and death are up to fate, of course if you can’t fight you can choose to surrender, and the final winner will receive a brand new Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Demon!”

“Wow! Fake V Generation Mecha!”

“Oh my god! That’s a Mecha worth 200 billion!”

…

The audience on site shouted excitedly.

Su Ming heard the prize announced by the host, his expression was very calm.

Of course, it’s not to say the reward is bad, each Fake V Generation Mecha costs billions.

If it weren’t for salvaging battlefield wreckage before, Ankaga and the others would almost be able to operate Fake V Generation Mechas.

At this moment, the female host waved her hand and said passionately.

“There are 200 participating teams this time, the list is as follows!”

Whoosh!

A huge virtual screen appeared, displaying images of 200 groups.

“Now giving all participants one hour of preparation time, everyone can freely start betting. Whoever bets on the champion team wins all!”

Immediately, all audience members began frantically placing bets.

The betting here is divided into two types: one is betting on the final champion, which needs to be placed before the match starts, and the other is betting on single match outcomes during the top thirty-two battles.

In no time, the prize money for all participating teams soared.

At this moment, Novlin came over with popcorn and beer, handing them to Su Ming and Ankaga.

“Lord Su Ming, have some food. This way, you won’t be too bored while watching the match.”

“Thank you for going to the trouble.”

Su Ming took the popcorn and spoke to Novlin.

“Not at all.”

Novlin quickly shook her head in reply.

At this time, Hokas came over, seeing the popcorn in Su Ming’s hands, and said with a big smile.

“Wow, popcorn! You actually bought something so expensive, let me try!”

As Hokas said, he reached out to grab the popcorn bucket in Su Ming’s hand.

Bang~

Fia directly reached out and slapped Hokas’s hand away, saying disdainfully.

“Big sis spent a lot of money buying this, how dare you eat it?”

“Oh dear, so sad! And to think I came over to help as a substitute.”

Hokas looked very heartbroken.

“Sit next door and eat together!”

Su Ming said to Hokas with a smile.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Hokas directly plopped down next to Su Ming, reaching out to grab a handful of popcorn and started eating.

Seeing this, Fia puffed up her cheeks in anger, but couldn’t actually lose her temper.

Novlin didn’t mind Hokas’s behavior, either.

At this moment, three young men wearing old models of Second Generation Exoskeleton Armor and a woman with some freckles and flaxen hair walked over.

“Who are these four?”

Su Ming asked, looking at the four in front of him.

“Mato, Ba’an, Galliton, Mei Lu, they are my team members.”

Novlin introduced them to Su Ming.

“They seem pretty good, good luck to you guys!”

Su Ming said to the four of them.

“We will give it our all to help big sis win and earn the Fake V Generation Mecha!”

Mato said very seriously.

“That’s right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, usually we can’t even think of a Fake V Generation Mecha!”

Ba’an followed up.

“If we can win this Mecha, we can use it to save our enslaved families and compatriots.”

Mei Lu also said excitedly from the side.

“Absolutely, as long as we band together, we can definitely win.”

Novlin said to Mei Lu and the others.

“Yes!”

Mei Lu and the others nodded in agreement.

Su Ming smiled at Novlin and said.

“Do your best.”

“Lord Su Ming, you may not know, but this duel is very rare for us. If it were an ordinary duel, we would definitely stand no chance, as several of the City Lord’s sons are participating. But this duel only allows the use of Third Generation Mechas, although many of the participants have modified theirs, the performance gap won’t be too big, so we definitely have to give it a shot!”

Novlin replied with determination.

“I understand.”

Su Ming nodded in response.

“Lord Su Ming, we’ll go prepare now.”

Novlin spoke to Su Ming.

“Okay, good luck!”

Su Ming said to Novlin.

Novlin then turned around and left with her team members.

Lost City.

Inside a dim factory.

Several Dark Star Empire soldiers wearing Exoskeleton Armor and holding firearms stood in the corners around.

Prince Fergus was talking to two figures, one tall and one short, wearing black cloaks.

“I won’t waste words, you’ll definitely get your benefits once it’s done.”

“Lord Fergus, my master is not concerned about the benefits, but rather whether it can be accomplished, Otaine isn’t easy to deal with.”

The shorter figure said worriedly.

“You don’t need to worry about that, Otaine will be dealt with by others. Now, the biggest trouble is how to take Lost Tower, only by taking it can we restrain Otaine’s external main forces!”

Fergus said somewhat troubled to the two.

“Lord Fergus, my Lord City Master says you need not worry about Lost Tower, we have our own ways!”

The taller figure replied respectfully.

“Haha, good! As long as the outside forces can’t get in, we have the advantage in numbers inside the city. Once the time is agreed upon, capturing the key points within the city will allow us to control Lost City and surround Lost Arena!”
