I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 44 Kavi: My own failure is certainly heartbreaking, but my friend's success is even mor

Dolly had seen flying machines before.

However, this overall shape, which closely resembles a badminton shuttlecock, seems to create a lot of resistance.

As we all know, the design of a badminton shuttlecock is to increase air resistance and slow it down quickly.

Does it have to be designed this way?

In the front row of the stands, they saw their students gain a significant lead right from the start.

Sage Nafis's lips curled slightly: "Lex, it seems that our bio-theory school's 'aerodynamics' does have some merit."

"At least we're ahead for now, aren't we?"

The wise man Lex of the Wise Theory School turned ashen-faced and scoffed, "Hmph, the rainforest is full of traps. With such a small body, once it's bound by a trap, I don't think it has any chance of escaping."

Lex had barely finished speaking.

A simple mechanism installed on a large tree was triggered, and three huge capture nets shot out from different angles. Once bound by the nets, it would take a considerable amount of time to break free, and taking advantage of the situation would leave one far behind.

Lex's lips were about to curl into a smile, but then they drooped back down.

The floating cannons following behind Luna One turned their muzzles and opened fire, and the dense grass and fire elemental bullets shattered the net into countless fragments in mid-air, ignited it, and turned it into ashes.

Luna 1 did not slow down or even turn its head, continuing its high-speed advance through the rainforest.

Lex, who saw this on the screen, suddenly stood up.

"This is impossible. Such a fast reaction speed, a hovering and following weapon—could a second-year student really have created this?"

Sage Nafis's lips curled slightly: "Even a student with mediocre grades can assemble the Guardian of the Ruins, is it really that difficult for our best student to do this?"

"I heard that the parts for this hovering weapon were custom-made by a teacher from your academy, and it even has a complete assembly process."

Lex glanced at Farusan, who was watching the battle. Was this the technology Farusan had acquired within the ruins?

This old guy is probably eyeing the valuable core components in the warehouse.

auditorium.

Kavi was completely dumbfounded.

The gap is too big.

He never imagined that it would actually fly.

You need at least some wings, otherwise you'd be trying to fly.

Moreover, they even specifically optimized the traps.

Why didn't I think of the automatic interception weapon?

Why hide? Just tear the trap to shreds!

Ruined.

That was the only thought in Kavi's mind.

As a star graduate of the Wonderful Theory School, his seven days of almost sleepless preparation were aimed at winning the championship.

As a result, in the preliminary rounds, he was completely outmatched in speed by a student from the bio-theory school.

This incident will be something that Elhesen, with his sharp tongue, will laugh at him for the rest of his life.

Wait, didn't Al-Hysen also bet on Anil to win?

Thinking of this, Kavi mechanically turned his head to look at Elhesen beside him.

Elhesen remained in the same posture, holding the book in his hands. After Luna 1 took a significant lead and the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt, Elhesen lost interest in the game.

Kavi took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Elheisen, tell me honestly, what are Anil's odds?"

Kavi paid absolutely no attention to these betting odds or anything like that.

"Since Anil was competing outside his field, there weren't many people who were optimistic about him to begin with. In addition, the shape of his mechanical creations looked too much like a toy. Before the competition started, the odds were about one to fifteen."

"The odds will drop after I buy it, and getting back 50 million Mora shouldn't be a problem."

Fifty million Mora!

Kavi felt his heart stop for a second.

The champion's prize money is only one million.

He worked himself to the bone in architectural design, but after deducting material costs and debt repayments, he couldn't save much money at the end of the year.

As a result, El-Hysen came over for a stroll and made 50 million directly?

One's own failure is certainly heartbreaking, but a friend's success is even more despairing.

On the other side, Dolly was laughing hysterically.

She was initially heartbroken over the five million Mora, but now her eyes were filled with flashing Mora symbols.

My God of Wealth!

They made a killing this time.

Without a doubt, this is her greatest investment in recent years.

It seems Anil still has a lot of good stuff; I'll have to squeeze it all out of him.

The wealthy businessman Hakimi pounded the railing with his fists, lamenting how he had believed Dolly's lies.

I'm so terribly ripped off! ...

Yes, for businessmen, not making a profit is a loss.

Missing out is more painful than losing money.

the other side.

Cole sat next to Tinari, his mouth agape.

"Wow, so fast! They're actually leading by such a large margin?"

"Automatic interception, ignoring traps, such a forest patrol mechanism must be incredibly powerful."

Cole's first thought was its practical application; if Luna 1 were used for forest patrols, it might be more efficient than twenty forest rangers.

Tinari also agreed with Cole's statement: "It allows for quicker identification of problems, and also increases the time available for processing them."

Farusian hummed softly, "Patrolling the forest, isn't that a bit of an overkill?"

"His mecha design concept is very interesting, but the aesthetic is indeed a bit strange. He insisted on making it look like a little girl. The smaller internal space compressed the performance, and the fluffy skirt increased the drag."

Farusan thought that Chen Bo's mecha was pretty good, so why did Luna One have to be designed like this?

Could it really be because of some weird XP?

Farusan couldn't help but look at her own height. Could it be that she was actually quite tall?

What Farusan didn't know was that participating in the competition was just a side effect.

Chen Bo's main motivation was still to create a body for Naxida.

Luna 1's performance in the rainforest was already quite astonishing.

Surprisingly, after leaving the rainforest and the complex area covered by trees, Luna 1 accelerated once again.

In flat desert terrain, there is no need for frequent maneuvering to avoid obstacles such as trees.

It's already fast on curves, and even faster on straightaways.

The two floating cannons moved in front of Narcida to break the wind and prevent the terrifying airflow from tearing her skirt when she broke the sound barrier.

Luna 1 continued to increase its speed until it broke the limits of sound, bursting out with a huge air-shattering sound.

The sound barrier has been broken.

A white sonic boom cloud exploded in the sky above the desert.

A tremendous sound of air exploding echoed throughout the stadium, and even nearby residents looked up at the sky in astonishment.

The noise level is extremely high at the moment the sound barrier is broken.

Nasida on the field has completely let loose.

This kind of competition is also very interesting to her.

Or rather, everything that happened after I acquired the body of Luna 1 was very interesting.

This feeling was completely different from the illusory feeling when connecting to the void. It was the sensation of the wind blowing across the alchemical skin, the change in air resistance, and the feeling of the elemental force flowing through the channels within the body.

They were all very novel.

The speed difference is too great.

The other contestants were in despair.

Soon, Luna 1 returned to its starting point and politely waved to the camera. Meanwhile, the Silver Guardian, ranked second, had not even left the densest part of the rainforest.
