[2] Genius Mechanic

Chapter 253

First Half Ends

The KID deception in the third mining pit continues, and the audience in the live broadcast room watches as KID, after dealing with the Dragon Horn team, consecutively tricks two more teams. The official commentators initially doubted and didn't believe that such a clumsy tactic could deceive other teams repeatedly. However, crucially, they did manage to deceive them. This tactic, tried and true, speeds up the score accumulation more smoothly than other teams' calculated and planned blockades.

More and more viewers gather at the perspective of Area C, marveling at KID's tactics.

During this time, the mecha pilots of two teams also attempted to rescue their teammates. The mecha pilot of one team fortunately escaped from KID's control chain using an anti-control weapon. However, when he inadvertently entered an unfamiliar mining factory, he fell into a trap left by YOU's medic team, exposing himself immediately.

The audience in the live broadcast room was puzzled about how KID discovered this. It wasn't until the weapon expert in the commentary explained that KID didn't dismantle the traps left by YOU's team in the third mining pit. Instead, they observed and recorded the energy reactions when these traps were triggered at close range. They used these traps as alarms, capturing the approximate positions of other mechas when an enemy mecha triggered YOU's trap through energy detection.

[Can this thing really work?! Isn't the concept of energy reactions absurd?]

"Other weapons can't detect such details. The key is that YOU's medic team's traps are energy traps, and KID recorded their unique energy reactions. It would be challenging to analyze other trap weapons." The weapon expert explained, "I heard they have a maintenance engineer in their team? Having a maintenance engineer isn't surprising; energy reactions are fundamental for them. But recording the energy reactions of weapons in such a short time... KID's maintenance engineer has a profound understanding of weapons. Weapon data is very complex, you know."

The audience in the live broadcast room only then realized that KID's tactics were not as simple as using a broom to sweep opponents into the mining pit. They had already prepared for a direct confrontation with other teams, and their strength and tactical preparation made it impossible for other ragtag teams to resist them.

[What can't Sink do?]

[Is he only 20 this year? A genius who excels at everything at 20?]

[... Achieving the Grand Slam at such a young age. Honestly, there are many geniuses among mecha pilots, but a nearly omnipotent genius like him is truly rare.]

This deceptive tactic continued until the end of the seventh day. After the coordinates of two rounds were exposed, KID's coordinates continued to linger near the third mining pit.

The specific elimination information between the teams is not disclosed to other teams. Only the eliminated parties and the audience in the live broadcast room can see it. However, the standings cannot be faked. During the face-offs between teams, based on the standings and the information exposed by public coordinates, other teams could clearly see which teams and mechas had been eliminated.

From the chaos of the melee to YOU's defeat, and now the third mining pit's deception, other teams were not fools. Even if they were curious, they would avoid the third mining pit, resulting in KID deceiving only three mechas in a day.

But with these successive tactics of deceiving opponents, even three mechas were enough for KID, originally in second place, to once again top the rankings in Area C with a high score of 10 points.

The first half of the Stellar Domain Competition has been going on for eight days, and the pace of matches in each region is becoming more tense. However, this tension doesn't include Area C. KID and ZuoY have taken the first two spots in Area C, both with full squads, creating a considerable gap from the third-placed YOU.
