Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 93: Is Loki Heavy Industry Going to be Disqualified?

This harsh sound arrived, making the onlookers, including Mu Fan and two others, turn their heads.

Standing behind them were several youths dressed in uniform deep blue uniforms, their arms adorned with badges containing intertwined light swords and firearms.

“Who are you?”

A middle-aged man in a suit outside Loki Heavy Industry’s exhibition booth angrily asked. He was the person in charge of the booth for Loki Heavy Industry, handpicked from the overseas management to bring his expertise.

“Amusing, asking us who we are on our own turf. Your company’s shoddy Mechas, I’m really curious who let you in?”

The leading youth’s face was marked with undisguised scorn.

“They are from Blue Capital Military Group.”

“The Blue Capital Star government-backed arms monopoly enterprise. It seems they are representing the government this time!”

Even though the people from Loki Heavy Industry didn’t recognize them, there were clearly people in the crowd who did.

To them, Blue Capital Military Group was undoubtedly a true behemoth.

“We are exhibiting here, and it doesn’t seem to concern you much, our qualifications were also approved by the Mecha Association.” The middle-aged man suppressed his anger as he spoke. Here, he couldn’t afford to tarnish his company’s image. If he burst into shouting, the media would definitely turn it into a laughingstock, which would be a severe blow to the company at its stage of expansion.

“Mecha Association management group? We are from the Blue Capital Military Group. We’ve found a company here suspected of falsification. Could you come and investigate?”

“Are you here to cause trouble?”

“Your company really isn’t worth our trouble… Loki Heavy Industry should stick to your metal metallurgy instead of branching into Mecha manufacturing, it’s simply laughable.”

After a short while, a man with a cold demeanor and rimless glasses walked over. Upon seeing the deep blue uniforms, he approached and asked, “Was it you who reported just now?”

The leading youth nodded and casually pointed, “Yes, check out this company. Visitors generally reported problems, and moreover, there are no live combat demonstration videos at the booth.”

The cold man glanced at Loki Heavy Industry’s area and indeed didn’t see any.

“Where is your demonstration video?”

“We stated during our application that given the close timing between Mecha research and development and the exhibition world, we would exhibit first and then supplement it with demonstration videos.”

Upon hearing this, the others laughed out loud, and even the onlookers couldn’t bear to watch.

Indeed, this company was bizarre to the extreme.

Among the crowd, the three, Mu Fan, Wang Nuonuo, and another, exchanged glances, with Wang Nuonuo shaking her head, “I’m not clear about the specifics here; even this Mecha is the first I’ve seen.”

“Hmm, I’m the Deputy Director of the Mecha Association for this tour, Li Junyi. Although there was an explanation during your application, it’s been a week today with no demonstration video. I have the right to require you to complete it. If you refuse, your exhibition eligibility will be revoked.”

“But we haven’t received the video from headquarters yet?”

“You can choose to film in the central Mecha Battle Arena. The opponent will be a Mecha from another company, and this challenge will be broadcast live. If you refuse, please leave the venue by this afternoon.” Li Junyi’s icy face showed no room for compromise.

The anxious middle-aged man repeatedly dialed Sky Communication but still couldn’t contact the headquarters.

Meanwhile, in a second-floor circumferential isolation room at the edge of the exhibition hall, several youths were watching the live surveillance footage with smiles.

“I didn’t expect we would end up together; it’s really fate,” said Lin Wu in a black casual outfit, looking exceptionally heroic.

“If it weren’t for my people reporting yesterday, I would not have known you ended up together with our target,” a slightly pale-faced young man laughed–it was Gaoling Ze, with Donald Natello next to him watching the screen with relish.

“Money is something I can handle, these far-reaching connections really make me feel inferior to you two big shots,” Lin Wu said with admiration in his voice.

“Mr. Lin is too kind. We didn’t expect a corporation to get involved this time. Loki Heavy Industries might be a major player in metallurgy but is really new to the Mecha field. Since we’re already here, it’s unfortunate that the little princess of Loki bumped into the wrong people. But, Lin Wu, do you really plan to woo her?” Natello finally spoke up.

“Why not? If it feels right, I think I might switch my fiancee, haha.”

“Truly, the top Casanova.”

“I like this joke.”

They all looked at each other and burst into laughter.

…

Nuonuo couldn’t stand it anymore and whispered to Mu Fan and Chuchu, “Wait a moment.”

Then she squeezed through the crowd and walked up behind the middle-aged man.

“Manager Yu.”

“Hm? Miss Nuonuo!” The middle-aged man turned around upon hearing her, exclaimed in surprise, but soon his face was filled with questions. Why was the little princess here on Blue Capital Star?

“I’ll explain later. Grandfather sent me here. I don’t know about the video you mentioned, but what I do know is that they are probably performing low-gravity combat experiments on a planet 7 light years away.”

“What do you think we should do, Miss Nuonuo?” Manager Yu, clearly lacking authority, could only seek help from Wang Nuonuo. However, given this 17-year-old girl’s innocent appearance, he really didn’t hold out much hope.

Such a young girl, and yet so far from being a typical successor of Loki Heavy Industries.

But he didn’t show these sighs outwardly.

He thought he would see Nuonuo troubled, but instead, he heard the young girl decisively say, “Agree to it for now. Do we have a Mechanical Master accompanying us on this tour? If not, let’s offer a high reward. I refuse to believe no one will come.”

“We have one fifth-grade senior Mechanical Master!”

Nuonuo’s resolute tone instantly gave Manager Yu confidence. In that moment, the shadows of Nuonuo and Chairman Wang seemed to overlap.

Indeed, worthy of Chairman Wang’s granddaughter!

The middle-aged man turned to Li Junyi and said, “We agree.”

The faces of the young men nearby lit up with mysterious smiles. Hooked, the next act would proceed according to their script. Young Master Tang’s planning was indeed profound.

When Manager Yu agreed, a cheer erupted from the gathered spectators. What a spectacle!

People had already secretly gone out to contact the media. If such a company were suddenly disqualified and expelled from the exhibition, it would certainly be explosive news.

“Alright, please lower your company’s Mecha Body to the underground platform. We have special transport vehicles. Then could your company’s exhibition manager come with me to the Central Battle Arena?” Li Junyi tapped a few times on a walkie-talkie, then his voice echoed throughout the entire exhibition hall.

“In this Mecha tour, District 39 – Loki Heavy Industries booth will undergo Mecha combat qualification matches, a best of three series. It will take place in the Central Battle Arena in 20 minutes and will be live-streamed on a public channel. This is a test for the participating Mecha Bodies and also a promotional opportunity for the companies they represent, so we hope all companies actively register.”

People looked up at the sound echoing through the vast hall; the surroundings quieted down for a moment, then the lively atmosphere instantly erupted.

Mech combat in action!?

Suddenly, people started moving toward the central area.

At that time, within District 39, a burly man in a black Mechanical Master suit and another man in a suit were walking over. Hearing this abrupt announcement, they exchanged glances, a surprised joy flashing in their eyes.

“Great opportunity!”
