Chapter 49

Lin Xuan's order of drawing the lottery was the first round, with 50 people in a group. As the referee called out his name, he and the other 49 contestants walked to their respective workstations.

　　The contestants took their positions and the audience started to discuss lively, which heated up the atmosphere of the competition.

　　"It's started! It's started! I wonder how many people will be able to engrave the advanced array pattern this time."

　　"Isn't that the apprentice of the president of the Tianhai City Mecha Manufacturing Association?"

　　"That's true. Then this year's champion is decided."

　　Everyone was talking about the fifty contestants, and they were particularly concerned about the young man on the far left.

　　The young man looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a handsome appearance. He was wearing a black Mecha Manufacturing Association uniform, which revealed a different style on him.

　　Yu Jiahao listened to the exclamations coming from the audience with a humble smile on his face, but he was actually smiling brightly in his heart.

　　Although he knew the principle of humility, he was still spoiled as a teenager. At the age of nine, Yu Jiahao was accepted as a closed disciple by the president of the Tianhai City Mecha Manufacturing Association.

　　Now, at only fifteen years old, he is already a fourth-level mecha manufacturer.

　　The first three levels of mecha manufacturing are entry-level basics, and the fourth level is considered to be a master level, which is equivalent to the thousand forgings in forging.

　　His talent is enough for him to be proud of.

　　The young men around Yu Jiahao were also a little nervous when they saw him. This guy has a great reputation!

　　"Are you Lin Xuan? Where's your mecha builder badge?"

　　On the other side, the referee frowned and looked at him while verifying Lin Xuan's personal information.

　　At this time, Lin Xuan had his eyes half-closed and a dull look, as if he had not woken up yet, and he was still wearing a pair of slippers.

　　This person was particularly eye-catching among the neatly dressed people around him, and he even suspected that this person had come to the wrong place.

　　"Ha~"

　　"It doesn't say you have to wear a badge, does it?"

　　Lin Xuan yawned, and his lazy look made the referee snort.

　　"Humph! You should take the competition seriously. What can you accomplish by being so lazy?"

　　The referee reprimanded Lin Xuan.

　　"Um..."

　　Lin Xuan nodded casually, as if he didn't take it to heart.

　　"No problem. The game will start soon, so get ready."

　　The referee returned the competition certificate to Lin Xuan, but shook his head secretly.

　　This guy is most likely here to fill the gap. This has happened before. Some small cities cannot find so many geniuses, so they just find someone to fill the gap.

　　"Your goal is to select one of the several medium-sized parts provided, engrave an intermediate-level array pattern on it, and make it less than 30% damaged."

　　"The game begins!"

　　As the judges on the podium finished speaking, forged metal parts were lifted up one by one.

　　These parts are all parts of the mecha, including armor, joints, manipulators, etc. Different parts have different array patterns. For example, armor is usually engraved with defensive soul guide array patterns.

　　"Intermediate formation pattern, does the next round need to be level 2 or above?"

　　Lin Xuan yawned and took out a part from it.

　　Different from forging, the most important thing in mecha manufacturing is to engrave the soul guide array patterns on these parts of the mecha to finalize the mecha.

　　The main task of the first three levels of mecha manufacturers is to learn various soul guide array patterns.

　　These soul guide array patterns are designed by the mecha designer. When the array patterns of each component are combined together, it becomes the design drawing of the entire mecha.

　　It is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced according to the complexity of the content, corresponding to the three levels of mecha manufacturers.

　　Level 4 mecha blacksmiths above level 3 are no longer just focused on the efficiency of energy conduction, they also have to shape the spirituality in the metal, which is also called soul casting.

　　If forging is about bringing metal life into this world, then manufacturing is about shaping this life into its own personality.

　　If we compare metal life to a child, forging gives this metal life its physiological age, while mecha manufacturing increases its psychological age, and mecha design provides a textbook for mecha manufacturing.

　　When Lin Xuan first manufactured a mecha in Xu Hao's studio, he directly performed soul casting. Although he was not familiar with the array patterns at that time, the transmission efficiency of the parts he manufactured was not very good.

　　But the soul casting was completed after all, which was why Xu Hao was so astonished at that time.

　　Being able to complete soul casting in the first mecha manufacturing operation, in terms of forging, this is equivalent to forging a thousand times in the first time. This must have scared Xu Hao.

　　Otherwise, Xu Hao would not have risked offending Muchen, the Saint Craftsman, and tried to lure Lin Xuan to the Mecha Manufacturing Association.

　　Muchen is not an ordinary saint craftsman. His senior brother is a divine craftsman. To offend Muchen is almost equivalent to offending half of the forging world on the continent.

　　"For armor made of prismatic stone, then let's engrave a spiritual array pattern on it!"

　　Lin Xuan picked up the parts in his hand and took a look, and immediately made a decision in his mind.

　　Choose corresponding array patterns based on metals with different properties. The more suitable it is, the higher the conduction efficiency will naturally be.

　　For example, this sea crystal stone tends to have water attributes. If it is engraved with a fire element array that is used to transmit fire energy, it will definitely be half the result with twice the effort.

　　Lin Xuan picked up the carving knife on the table, a purple light flashed in his eyes, and the internal structure of the sea crystal armor in front of him appeared clearly in front of him.

　　Manufacturing parts and engraving array patterns on them is not the end of the story. The energy conduction efficiency of the array pattern pathway also needs to be tested. If the loss is too great, the product will be waste.

　　If the conduction efficiency of a part reaches 70%, it is considered to be of qualified quality; 80% is good; 90% is excellent; and above 95% can be considered to be of perfect quality.

　　But even the masters of mecha manufacturing can only occasionally obtain parts of this perfect quality.

　　Because the internal structure of each metal part is different, they can only rely on their own feelings and experience to engrave, which inevitably leads to errors.

　　But under Lin Xuan's mutated eyes, the internal structure and energy distribution of metal parts are clearly visible. It is just like putting the answers in your face during an exam while others take the closed-book exam while you take the open-book exam.

　　It's like a cow riding a plane, so awesome!

　　Just as Lin Xuan was concentrating on engraving the formation pattern, a blonde girl below the stage stared at him intently, like an angry tigress, wishing she could swallow him in one bite.

　　"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao! Xiao your head!"

　　Ye Xinglan clenched her teeth, her beautiful eyes were full of anger, her long eyelashes trembled constantly, she wished she could just go up and smash Lin Xuan's head off.

　　Lin Xuan, you bastard!

　　She was so foolish that she went to the organizer to find out Xiao Yan's information, which ended up causing a big misunderstanding. After being ridiculed by others, she took great pains to finally find out Lin Xuan's real information.

　　Calm down! Calm down!

　　Ye Xinglan kept calming himself down, and finally glared at Lin Xuan on the stage, then turned and left.

　　She wanted to defeat Lin Xuan fairly and then trample him under her feet to humiliate him.

　　I would like to recommend a group of book friends 826947206 (the answer to joining the group is Xu Xiaoyan). You can join the group to discuss your favorite soul skills, etc. It is a bit difficult to name them.

　　Dear brothers, please remember to vote.

Chapter 65 Xiao Yan's true flame!

　　"Prismarine armor, conduction efficiency 93%, excellent quality."

　　The referee next to him looked at the data in the testing instrument and glanced at Lin Xuan who was standing next to him in surprise.

　　Unexpectedly, he was wrong.

　　At this time, the sea crystal armor was quietly placed on a circular testing table. With the influx of energy, the array pattern in the armor was activated, and a deep blue light emerged from the armor. The deep blue was like a bottomless abyss.

　　"Oh my god! That's great! It looks awesome!"

　　"Yes, yes, yes! I almost feel claustrophobic watching this. I'm afraid the performance is of high quality."

　　"It's shiny and beautiful."

　　The people in the audience commented seriously on the strange phenomenon that occurred during the testing of the prismatic armor.

　　This is also the reason why mecha manufacturing competitions are relatively popular. The spectators may not be professional enough, but the energy phenomena that emerge during the test can allow them to intuitively understand the quality of the manufacturing results.

　　Of course, the fancy lights and shadows are indeed more eye-catching than those in other competitions. This is just the junior group. When it comes to higher-level mecha manufacturing competitions, it is even more exciting and bizarre.

　　"Can I go first then?"

　　Lin Xuan stretched his body. This first round was just a rough screening. In order to eliminate the contestants who did not reach the second-level mecha manufacturing, there were not too many requirements.

　　But even so, I'm afraid that 70% of the people here will still be eliminated. Since he was able to pass the second level, Lin Xuan didn't spend much time on the third level show.

　　As for levels four and above, their manufacturing requires special design drawings rather than these basic array patterns.

　　"Okay, the relevant results will be delivered to you in the evening. However, you will definitely have no problem in the next round."

　　The referee had a smile on his face and looked at Lin Xuan kindly.

　　Although this kid is a bit casual, his basic skills are still very solid. His excellent quality level 2 armor is already top-notch among his peers.

　　"Thank you, senior!"

　　Lin Xuan nodded to the referee. The man had a badge on his chest, and the five stars on it were particularly eye-catching.

　　This is a level five mecha maker.

　　"What a polite child!"

　　The referee looked at Lin Xuan's departing back and smiled with relief, completely forgetting all the dislikes he had towards Lin Xuan before the game started.

　　When Lin Xuan walked to the edge of the stadium, a green light suddenly exploded in the air next to him, and bits of green light fell like raindrops.

　　"Wow! Why do I feel so warm all over? I want to cum."

　　"Fuck you, pervert, get away! Stop disgusting people in public."

　　"I'm just describing it! My words may be a little rough, but the logic is there. So what's going on?"

　　"Energy overflow, that's a level three component. Only when a high-level array pattern is engraved will this kind of energy overflow occur. This is a manifestation of a large amount of energy flowing."

　　"Isn't that man Yu Jiahao? According to the dog of the neighbor of my uncle's daughter's friend, Yu Jiahao was promoted to a fourth-level mecha maker some time ago. If the competition didn't provide special mecha design drawings, I'm afraid he could have directly forged a spirit."

　　In the nearby audience seats, some audience members were illuminated by the overflowing energy and started to talk about it.

　　Yu Jiahao stood there tall and straight, with a smile on his face, nodding frequently towards the cheering people in the audience, looking gentle and elegant.

　　A young man next to him who had not yet finished engraving became a little impatient because of this sudden change. The engraving knife in his hand shook, and the array pattern drew a boundary. Most of the engraved array pattern was directly destroyed, and the part was scrapped.

　　"Oh! I'm so useless!"

　　The young man dropped the carving knife in his hand dejectedly and sat on the ground. There was only one chance in this competition, and he was definitely eliminated.

　　"Sorry! But you're pretty good."

　　A hand stretched out in front of the boy. When he raised his head, he saw Yu Jiahao's slightly apologetic expression.

　　"This...is my own problem."

　　The boy was stunned for a moment, then he took Yu Jiahao's hand and stood up again. He didn't expect Yu Jiahao to come and comfort him.

　　"Brother Yu, you are truly a man of high moral character! You are worthy of being the leader in mecha manufacturing in the Tianhai Alliance. I admire you!"

　　The young man said to Yu Jiahao with admiration.

　　"Thank you for the compliment!"

　　Yu Jiahao smiled modestly.

　　"He is neither spoiled nor impatient. He is truly an excellent young man."

　　"Yu Jiahao, you are so handsome, I love you!"

　　"Yu Jiahao! Yu Jiahao!"

　　The two's actions were seen by the audience, and naturally caused a wave of cheers, especially from the girl, who cheered the loudest.

　　An old man with a white beard on the rostrum was stroking his beard with satisfaction. He was the president of the Tianhai Mecha Manufacturing Association.

　　With his status, theoretically he would not appear in such occasions, but today his disciples were participating in the competition and he was also interested.

　　His apprentice is highly talented and already has the bearing of a master. He will surely be a rising star in the manufacturing industry in the future.

　　Lin Xuan glanced at Yu Jiahao who was in the spotlight, and a smile appeared on his face. It turned out that there was another expert.

　　Then this competition won't be too boring to win!

　　Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lin Xuan quietly left the scene and rushed towards his residence.
