Just when he finished expressing his gratitude, he saw Cheng Yi, who had just changed back into his human form and dressed up in the cockpit, come over: "I'm sorry to have bothered you over this."

Cheng Yi was easily jealous, but he would not be jealous in an inappropriate manner. He knew that although the concept of beast-shaped mecha was proposed by An Yan, it was thanks to Ren Bo that the concept was transformed into reality.

He was sure that any other mecha builder would only have managed to complete the basic requirements and make a general idea of the mecha. Not to mention the time it would have taken to make the mech.

Ren Bo proudly shook his head, " I took the order and got paid, so I had to do what I was asked to do. You don't have to thank me. "

After a few more pleasantries, An Yan and Cheng Yi sent Ren Bo away. He was outwardly aloof, but he was actually full of reluctance.

After sending him away, An Yan asked, "What do you think of this mecha?"

"It's perfect," Cheng Yi praised without mincing words. His deep gaze was bright, "It's the best gift I've ever received. Thank you, Yan Yan. "

He could feel the effectiveness of the mecha even without using his real strength. He probably used only about 1 or 2% of his strength even after the full fusion because it was a practical test to determine the performance of the mech and to check if there were any problems.

His body functions and mental sensitivity had increased significantly after transforming into the White Tiger form. Adding this mecha was like adding wings to a tiger. His strength was instantly increased by at least three times.

In addition, he has achieved complete fusion with the White Tiger mech, so he is able to synchronise his movements in the true sense when controlling the mecha. Eliminating the delays that would inevitably occur before.

The materials used in this mech are high-end, and the whole mecha is well assembled without any holes in the joints, greatly enhancing the defensive power of the mech.

In short, the combination of all these factors had increased Cheng Yi's overall strength when piloting this mech to a level that he had never achieved before.

Of course, all these were considered in terms of the mecha's performance and the advantages it displayed. Even if it was a humanoid mecha, Cheng Yi would still have liked it if it was a gift from the little one.

An Yan was happy with Cheng Yi’s answer, "It's good that you like it."

Then Cheng Yi smiled and asked, "Since I've seen the mecha and piloted it, can I take this gift now?"

An Yan wanted to wait until later to give Cheng Yi the mecha along with the ring. But now that he had already participated in the practical testing of the mecha, there seemed to be no need to take back this gift.

With this in mind, An Yan nodded, "Of course, it's a gift for you."

The first step was achieved, and Cheng Yi said smoothly, "Although this mecha can be put here, I don’t think that I can't let go of it. But I don't have a suitable space button to store it...."

Cheng Yi showed an embarrassed look at the end of his sentence. 

The meaning of his words was obvious. An Yan immediately understood, but he was a bit hesitant. Although he could give Cheng Yi the mecha in advance, the ring was a different case. It should be given on the day of the engagement.

But he also treasured this mecha and was reluctant to leave it on the training ground.

"Don't worry, I'll give the ring back on the engagement day," Cheng Yi continued, " although there are some customs, the ring was originally meant for me, so it's okay to give it to me a few days earlier."

An Yan was already simple-minded, plus he didn't have a deep concept of the customs here. So he was swayed by Cheng Yi's words, "That... okay, it's fine."

The plan worked, and Cheng Yi finally got his hands on the exquisite ring once again. He gleefully put it on his ring finger, saying, "So that I don't lose it."

Although the ring was already in his possession, Cheng Yi did not immediately put the White Tiger mecha away. He instead got into the mecha again and piloted it to start two high-intensity simulated battles.

These two battles were very exciting, and they allowed Cheng Yi to further familiarize himself with the characteristics of the White Tiger mecha.

Although his animal characteristics were those of a white tiger, and he had transformed into his white tiger form many times before, Cheng Yi still had a small problem fighting in this form.

However, this small problem was soon solved with the increased experience from actual combat and an in-depth understanding of the White Tiger mecha.

The only regret was that An Yan could not accompany Cheng Yi into the cockpit because of the special piloting style. He could only watch from outside.

So, he quickly left the mecha, although he was still not satisfied.

As he straightened his clothes, Cheng Yi said, "I should make a custom-made stretch suit for piloting this mecha in future. So that changing clothes are no longer troublesome. "

Cheng Yi didn't care much about it with the little one around. But there might be times in the future when he would be driving this mecha in front of other people. Then he would need a stretch suit.

The so-called "stretch suit" was something that could automatically change its size to fit Cheng Yi's body, whether he was in human form or in his white tiger form.

An Yan nodded in agreement, "This is indeed quite troublesome."

Cheng Yi then put the White Tiger Mech into his Space Ring before leaving the training ground with An Yan.

It was already late, and they had to participate in the finals tomorrow. So they had to go back early to rest.

The night passed quickly, and the four headed to the competition venue the next morning.

There were only six teams of contestants left, two of whom were competing alone, so the final number of participants was ten.

As before, the rules for the finals were announced ten minutes before the start of the competition.

To everyone's surprise, the organizers of the Academy Mecha Competition had obtained the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs to use the map used by the army for combat exercises!

Since this was a map used by the Ministry of Military Affairs targeted at zerg termination exercises, the level of realism would be comparable to that of a real battlefield, and the intensity would not be low.

The live broadcast rooms instantly exploded as soon as this information was released.

Viewer 1: fuck! Is the academy mecha competition so powerful now? How did they cooperate with the military?

Viewer 2: 666! The finals are going to be great! I'm looking forward to it!

Viewer 3: Didn't they say that the maps of the military's practical exercises were top secret? Is it really okay to use one in the competition?

Viewer 4: I can't believe I'm going to see what the military's map looks like in my lifetime.

Viewer 5: Guess what the map will look like? Will it be another team round since it's related to the zerg?

Viewer 6: It's already the finals, it can't be a team game. I just don't know how the competition will be arranged.

Viewer 7: I'm looking forward to it! The three big bosses will meet this time, right?

Viewer 8: I'm already on my knees, just waiting for the live stream to start!

.........

Not only were the viewers excited and curious, but the contestants were as well, wondering what kind of map they were about to enter.

After all, it's an actual battle map from the Ministry of Military Affairs. It wouldn’t be easy, so it looks like they'll have to be extra cautious later on.

Ten minutes later, the contestants had arrived by airship at the randomly selected locations.

The hatch opened and the contestants quickly left the airship. Then they were stunned by the scene before them.

It was not solid ground or flowing water under their feet, but a void of stars!

What they saw ahead were not towering trees and hordes of buildings, but a night sky glittering with bright starlight.

The scene in front of them was beautiful, but the contestants on the field had no intention of enjoying it. After their initial shock, they hurriedly took time to adapt to the environment and adjust their mindset.

At this moment, a flat, electronic voice rang out: [Please enter your mechas immediately. The competition will start in one minute!]

Everyone immediately got into their mechas and entered the battle mode.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also very nervous and excited.

Viewer 1: Holy shit! I can't believe it's a starry sky! This map is too beautiful!

Viewer 2: It just looks beautiful, but if you think about the theme of the map, will you still think it's beautiful?

Viewer 3: With the reminder from the one upstairs, I suddenly got a little bit creeped out.  A swarm of ugly zerg may emerge at any time under the beautiful starry sky. I even feel a chill in my back just thinking about it.

Viewer 4: As expected of a map from the Ministry of Military Affairs, the level of realism is really good. It's like being in space!

Viewer 5: I just checked the positions of the six teams and found that they are a bit far apart. Do you think they will not meet even this time?

Viewer 6: Given the nature of the competition, it's a real possibility. But the rules given were not clear at all.  We don't know anything other than the fact that the map is for the zerg.

Viewer 7: I don't know why, but I feel like there might be something fishy about this round.

Viewer 8: What a coincidence, I feel the same way.
