Chapter 168 To the Machine Empire

Soon after, Su Mo returned to the hotel.

While packing his luggage, he opened his electronic wristband and searched for ship tickets to the Machine Empire.

As a result, a list of flight information popped up.

There were so many flights between the Laurel Kingdom and the Machine Empire, basically one every five minutes, so there was no worry about not getting a ticket.

Su Mo pondered for a while, then purchased a flight that would take off in two hours.

The reason for hurrying so much was that the Timaklo Star Arena was different from traditional arenas, as it was mainly composed of three key structures.

First, there was the Star Arena itself, located in the star sea between the Laurel Kingdom and the Machine Empire.

Next were the two viewing platforms, located on the main stars of the Laurel Kingdom and the Machine Empire, respectively.

The viewing platform on the Laurel Kingdom side was more open to ordinary travelers.

The viewing platform in the Machine Empire was more oriented towards the military personnel of Star Ring City and its own citizens.

At the same time, most importantly, the Machine Empire would open private hangars to all participants when the competition was about to begin. At that time, the sealed mechas would be uniformly transported to each person's assigned private hangar for final debugging, so it was necessary to go there in advance to prepare.

Knock knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Su Mo called out.

Qian Chengxue walked in and, seeing Su Mo packing his things, asked, "Are you leaving?"

"The competition is about to start, and I have to go to the Machine Empire to prepare."

"Well, we'll cheer you on here."

Qian Chengxue nodded emphatically.

"Okay."

Su Mo responded with a smile.

"But Su Mo, just do your best in the competition. Don't push yourself too hard. Whether you win the championship or not is not important to me, as long as you're safe."

Qian Chengxue嘱咐 with some worry.

"Don't worry, this is not a life-and-death battle, just a competition. I'll be careful."

Su Mo reached out and held Qian Chengxue's soft hand to comfort her.

"Okay, let me help you pack."

......

Soon after, Su Mo arrived at the Laurel Kingdom's interstellar airport.

He successfully boarded the designated flight.

Sitting in his seat, Su Mo opened the Star Ring City forum and began browsing posts.

The entire Star Ring forum instantly boiled over with the announcement of the first competition list.

The daily traffic reached its historical peak.

At the same time, the Star Ring forum opened a special betting channel.

Everyone could bet on different players through the betting channel.

Of course, the odds depended on the amount of money bet on the opposing players.

It was worth noting that all funds involved in betting were kept by Star Ring City, so there was no need to worry about the bookmaker running away.

There were two ways to play.

One was to directly bet on who would win the championship. You could choose to bet directly on the seven Royal Order candidates, or you could choose to bet on any ordinary participant.

All the money bet on winning the championship would be distributed proportionally to the people who bet correctly.

The other was single-game betting, which was a regular bet, and the return rate depended on how much was bet on the other side.

Su Mo was startled when he saw his name. The betting had just started, and someone had already bet 700 billion star coins on him to win the championship.

Of course, he was not the most popular. The most popular was Grillos of the Machine Empire, who already had over ten trillion star coins bet on him to win the championship.

Su Mo was dumbfounded.

The Creator Devourer said in a low voice, "Do you want to go all in on yourself?"

"Cough cough, let's forget it. I'll just play a little bit."

Su Mo said awkwardly.

"Whatever."

The Creator Devourer was too lazy to complain about Su Mo.

After browsing the forum for a while, Su Mo tried searching for tickets to the competition, and a bunch of optional matches popped up.

He couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

Since the captain-level qualifiers were held simultaneously,

Therefore, in the same batch, you could basically only watch one match.

"Whose match are you going to watch?"

The Creator Devourer asked when he saw that Su Mo hadn't moved for a long time.

"First, watch Wang Hai's battle. Although the performance of Shen Wei Gai (God Guard Modified) shouldn't be too bad, after all, I haven't actually used it in combat yet, so it's hard to say how much its specific performance is. So first, watch Wang Hai's actual combat, so I can have a better idea."

Su Mo explained after thinking for a while.

"Okay."

The Creator Devourer nodded in response.

"Well, then I'll buy one first."

After Su Mo decided, he directly entered the command.

Soon, a message popped up showing that the order was successful.

After everything was done, Su Mo couldn't help but close his eyes for a while.

In the evening.

A small interstellar ship landed precisely at the Machine Empire's Imperial Capital Interstellar Airport.

Su Mo pulled his luggage and walked off the ship.

A round mechanical ball flew towards him, saying in a synthesized voice.

"Welcome to the Machine Empire, I am smart service provider No. 75423. What can I do for you? You can book hotels, call cars, order food, leisure services through me..."

"No need."

Su Mo waved his hand and drove it away. To be honest, he was not used to this kind of attentive service.

It was too intelligent, and there was almost no privacy.

Su Mo looked around. The huge interstellar airport was very prosperous and advanced. There were portable service robots everywhere, as well as various colorful celebrity advertisements.

The sensory experience here was completely different from that of the Laurel Kingdom.

After observing for a while, Su Mo walked towards the exit while raising his wristband to perform a series of operations, dialing a communication.

Beep beep~

Soon, Zhang Hao's image appeared, and he shouted excitedly.

"Boss."

"Well, where are you?"

"I just followed the mecha transfer and moved from the closed warehouse to the competition field's SJK-06 exclusive hangar."

"I'll go over there."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he hung up the communication.

A moment later, Su Mo left the interstellar airport and arrived at a bustling city street.

Steel buildings full of cyberpunk style came into view, and small flying vehicles were flying by in the air.

On the street, you could see many young people with different styles of clothing, humming various songs and playing exciting music.

At this time, several girls in white vests, wearing exaggerated metal earrings, and dressed in sexy and revealing clothes walked towards Su Mo.

"Sir, do you need special services? The price is very cheap."

......

Su Mo ignored the invitation of the hot girls in front of him and walked straight towards the area with the flying vehicle call sign.

He walked to that area and waved his hand.

Soon, an SCf-02 Mole small flying vehicle landed, the transparent cover opened, and a fashionable uncle露出 with white teeth asked.

"Sir, please get in."

"Go to the Timaklo Star Arena's competition field reserve area."

After Su Mo got in, he said simply and neatly.

"No problem, brother, why do you look so familiar? Wait, you're not a contestant in the league, are you?"

The uncle in front of him kept looking at Su Mo, and then he realized.

"Yes."

Although Su Mo was quite surprised, he didn't deny it.
