At this moment, Li Hao was already in his shorts and slippers, enjoying his late-night snack. He was hungry after the fight, and it was rare to have someone treating him, so he had to eat more even if he wasn't hungry.
Across the table, Jerrys, who had been brewing for a long time, adjusted his glasses and said, "Li Hao, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. The things of a warrior, you should..."
Bang! "Ouch, Li Hao, don't hit my head, it will make me stupid!" Jerrys covered his head, he could never dodge in time.
"Kepler is a good place, a no-man's land. I can try to infiltrate the alliance's development plan. I feel like I can lead a part of it. With Kevin's cooperation, we can pull the rug out from under them. Maybe we can even become kings of the mountain..."
Bang! "Li Hao, a gentleman uses his words, not his fists. Can we talk about this?" Jerrys rubbed his head. "I was young before, but now I'm a respectable figure."
Li Hao took a sip of juice, leisurely stuffed some meat into his mouth, "Yeah, I'm just talking to you, in my own way."
Jerrys wanted to cry but had no tears. He opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again. Li Hao didn't care about his complaints. It was better to be direct if he couldn't win the argument.

The Sky Message rang, and Li Hao immediately put down his chopsticks, a sincere smile brewing on his face.
"Li Hao, what are you doing?" Tita asked directly. There was no need for formalities between them.
"I'm having a late-night snack. Do you want to join? My treat." Li Hao said enthusiastically.
"Is there any sincerity in that? By the time I fly over, it'll be daylight!" Tita clearly saw through his hypocrisy.
Li Hao grinned, "No problem, you're always welcome."
"Alright, I'll take you up on that when I have time." Tita hung up the Sky Message, leaving the still silent VVIP room.
Across the table, Jerrys could tell... Li Hao was a bit flustered...
"Who was that?"
"A creditor." Li Hao said with a sigh.
"Oh, that's interesting, Li Hao, I can help you get rid of her... Ouch, I was wrong, don't hit my head, hit somewhere else!"
"Be normal, don't always think about fighting and killing. Aren't our days good now?"
"Li Hao, we must have a mission in this world. 'Heaven creates everyone with a purpose.' What's the point if we don't stir up some trouble? The more we stir, the happier we are!" Jerrys was obviously overexcited, and whenever he saw Li Hao, it was like he had a buff. Seeing the leader made up for his lack of strength.
Li Hao happily took a bite of the Beijing onion chicken skewer. This shop's chicken skewers were a delicacy. Despite its small facade, the owner was very particular about using authentic Beijing onions and selected free-range chicken. The chicken was tender and fragrant, and the various grilled chicken parts were heavenly. He clinked glasses with Jerrys, took a big gulp of beer, and said, "See, I'm very happy now."
Jerrys was stunned, staring blankly at Li Hao, "Li Hao, you're so bad."
"Damn, I haven't finished eating yet, that's disgusting, haha!" Li Hao couldn't help but swear, and the two of them burst into laughter, downing their drinks.
Having friends from afar, small beers and barbecue, isn't it a joy?
Although the people on the moon didn't hear everything, they could tell from Tita's expression and the relaxed conversation that they had a general idea. They were just observing Li Hao's emotional state, it seemed that Luo Meiluo couldn't put too much pressure on him.
Tita curiously looked at everyone. Except for Maxis and Li Xiangshan, who were still relatively calm, everyone else had returned to their thoughtful state.
"Li Hao's personal strength is a bit terrifying, but he has many character flaws. He's lazy, gluttonous, careless, and doesn't take his work seriously. He doesn't have a strong desire to win. The rules of the S competition are five single battles plus a team battle. As long as we ensure that we don't score in other areas, we'll be stable. Even if Tianxing can't do it, Yinhe and Yongheng definitely can. How can we lose our momentum without fighting?" Tita said. She didn't underestimate them, so she directly excluded the A-level academy where Beidou Qixing was located. It wasn't easy for Tianjing to fight for the team battle. In the large battlefield where the team battle took place, individual power would be greatly weakened, and tactics and cooperation were more important.
In fact, this was also what Beidou Qixing thought. They were not worried about the team's victory or defeat, but mainly about their own inability to win. They always felt that this "victory" was discounted, and it was not martial. Everyone wanted to defeat him directly and clear their names.
"Everyone, I think Tita is right. We don't need to care too much. Not to mention that Luo Meiluo has already helped us achieve 70-80% of our goal. The S competition is a team honor, and we don't need to take the individual battles too seriously. We'll see in the mid-season competition." Pegrosa said.
"I think Pegrosa is right. Mech battles are ever-changing, and our team has been tempered through countless battles. Our team cooperation has been through countless battles. I can't find any reason to be afraid! Everyone, our destiny is in our hands. Our rise is unstoppable, and no one can prevent our coronation!" Everyone's momentum inexplicably rose, and then they hurriedly left, as if the official analysis video had come out.
Maxis and Van Levi exchanged glances. Van Levi nodded calmly, and their three-dimensional images disappeared. Their goal was not just to win. They had already won the championship. As a warrior, of course, they wanted to defeat Li Hao. Once defeated, the influence it would bring to the same level of mech pilots would be incomparable.Li Xiangshan left with a slight smile, "Tita, see you at the mid-season competition."
"Brother Shan, I look forward to your triumphant return." Tita laughed.
Tita was the only one left in the VVIP room. Suddenly, she sighed softly. She could only help to this extent. The seriousness of Maxis and others far exceeded treating Li Hao as an opponent. They saw him as an enemy. Once they reached the S competition, they would calculate every move against Li Hao, even considering his teammates. She had tried her best to mitigate the situation, but it was clear that they were still not relaxed.
...Was she being disloyal?
It didn't seem so. After all, Li Hao might become her brother-in-law in the future, and they were friends. He had even helped her before. All things considered, it was a fifty-fifty situation. Just like Li Hao himself said, friendship first, competition second.
Hmm.
Tita glanced at the current live broadcast room...
The popularity had already exceeded 350 million and was still rapidly increasing. Moreover, half of them were VIPs, and a considerable part were VVIPs.
In the live broadcast room, the Fire Man seemed to have regained his calm, but he might have been injured internally. He seemed a bit listless and had already gone to the bathroom several times.
The Martial Arts Master didn't show any arrogance or excessive excitement, nor did he talk nonsense. He was waiting for the official analysis video to come out. On the other hand, Zhuang Zhou, like a pea shooter, began to output crazily.
It seemed that the Martians were about to explode from his ridicule, but they had no choice. The Fire Man had done the same before, and this match really made the Martians lose their temper... Even some Martians began to switch sides.
"I don't think Puppet is an Earthling. He never said he was an Earthling. He's just in the USE war zone. With the level of USE, it's impossible to train such a high-level warrior!"
"I also think that his calmness and fierce fighting at critical moments are qualities that only we Martians have!"
"Holy shit, I feel the same way. At the very least, Puppet must have Martian blood. Earthlings can't possibly have this."
"Maybe he's a Moonman?"
"How could it be? The Moon doesn't have this kind of domineering presence, and they don't have this kind of ambition to dare to randomize armor series. This kind of lofty spirit is only possessed by us Martians!"
"You're right, his flamboyant personality really is like a Martian."
Zhuang Zhou was dumbfounded. You're the Martian, your whole family are Martians. The captain is a genuine Earthling, a Tianjing person!
But Zhuang Zhou couldn't say it. The captain was on a secret mission and couldn't reveal it. The shameless Martians could even play this hand.
The analysis video came out. For Maxis, Offee and others, this was the key. The result wouldn't be too surprising. They were concerned about the process and the details. This was where they could analyze Li Hao's current strength.
For the mecha fans, the dessert after the meal had arrived. The EMP hall was still boiling, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Only then did Zhou Naiyi notice that Li Hao hadn't come.
"Li Hao, where are you?"
"I'm having dinner with Jerrys. This kid is treating, do you want to come and eat something?" Li Hao laughed.
Zhou Naiyi was a bit helpless. Li Hao was a real foodie. If he wasn't sleeping, he was eating. "Puppet just made a comeback against Luo Meiluo. There's a lot to learn from it. You should watch it."
"Captain, even an emperor can't fight on an empty stomach."
Zhou Naiyi had no choice but to give up on Li Hao. He was always like this. It was fine when he was a freshman, but now he was the team captain and he was still the same.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before the battle, everyone's opinion was the same. When the two mechas were chosen, the EMP intelligent analysis gave Luo Meiluo a 98% chance of winning. But as I guessed before the match, if Puppet chose this way, he must be confident of winning. From our martial arts perspective, this is not arrogance. Because EMP is more for improvement, top masters are used to putting themselves in a passive position when facing some battles they are confident in. They let their opponents play more to create a pressure-resistant situation and increase the training difficulty." The Martial Arts Master said seriously, "Like everyone else, I am full of questions about the process. Let's see how Puppet handled it." The Fire Man hadn't recovered yet, but he felt that the Martial Arts Master was much more sinister than Zhuang Zhou. He directly put Luo Meiluo in a secondary level. This was really cursing without using dirty words.With the perfect expression of a martial arts expert, the Earth audience felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if their toes were stretching. "From the first round of probing, the performance of the Inferno Genesis clearly has an advantage. Its speed and stability during the charge are much higher. You can see the detailed comparison chart. Our naked eye judgment is almost the same, but the actual difference is quite significant," the martial arts expert said. "So, Inferno can take the lead, but this is a superficial advantage, not a real one. Therefore, Inferno needs to anticipate in advance, predicting Puppet's prediction. But this prediction is given by Puppet to the opponent. Look at this feint!" In the video, the Armored Dragon pretended to want to pull away with the help of force, but it was actually just a lunge causing a shift in the center of gravity. When Inferno made a superb flash strike leap slash, it immediately sprung into the air, performing a mid-air wall hang and a heart-piercing elbow! "Luo Meiluo is indeed a top player. Faced with such a situation, she immediately activated her laser shield for instant defense, and precisely unloaded the force. The consciousness of both sides made multiple attacks and defenses in just a few seconds, followed by a swift return to block the opponent from further expanding their advantage. It's breathtaking." Just this seemingly ordinary round of probing is enough to instantly kill countless warriors. When attacking, they always keep a hand for absolute defense, and when defending, they are always thinking about attacking.
Predicting and counter-predicting requires sufficient operation and technique to support. The two's maneuver actions are completely maxed out. Any immature technique will fail to achieve the effect of attack and defense.
