Chapter 15 Adult Ceremony
When he returned home from the repair shop, Duan Peng's expression was still a little dull. He still couldn't believe that he was already a fourth-level mechast.
"Xiao Peng, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Duan Peng's slightly demented expression, Zhong Xi frowned.
Duan Peng shook his head vigorously and said, "It's okay. I was just stunned by the news from my master."
Speaking of Duan Peng's master Liu Bing, Zhong Xi was still a little funny. The first time he heard about this person, he had a trace of hostility to this person because of Cheng Xi's incident. The first time he saw this person, this person hung him on the spot because Duan Peng only said a word to him. Unexpectedly, Liu Bing was really good for Duan Peng. The treatment and freedom that Duan Peng can get now are all fought for by him. Thinking of this, Zhong Xi asked with a smile, "What's wrong? What did your master say to you that can make you so surprised? Doesn't he want to surprise you every now and then?"
As soon as he talked about the surprise brought by Liu Bing, Duan Peng's expression was a little more confused. After a while, he muttered, "Master said that I was already a fourth-level mecha master."
"What?" Zhong Xi stood up from the chair in surprise, "Did I hear you correctly? Are you already a fourth-level mechast?"
Level 3 to 4 is a watershed of two levels, which is not so easy to break through. Before the outbreak of the war, I don't know how many mecha divisions or other professions were stuck in this third level until the end of old, while Duan Peng is only 16 years old, but he has broken through this watershed. How can Zhong Xi not be shocked, and it's only a matter of time to break through level 4 and reach level 5.
"Did he really say that?" As if to confirm, Zhong Xi asked again.
"Master said that the sign of the fourth-level mecha master is to listen to the sound and identify the damage, and I have done it." Duan Peng nodded gently, as if he could still believe what Liu Bing said to him.
In addition to the shock, Zhong Xi had a little more worry. He had long known that Duan Peng's talent was very strong, but he did not expect that Duan Peng could be so strong. In just half a year, he could have a fourth-level level. Last time the village deprived them of their mecha, and this time I don't know if anything will happen again.
"Xiaopeng, after seeing your master tomorrow, tell your master first, and don't say anything about reaching level four."
"What's wrong?" Duan Peng was a little puzzled. He didn't quite understand the intention of Zhong Xi's arrangement.
"Your strength has progressed too fast. I'm afraid it will cause other people's jealousy and bring some unnecessary trouble."
When Zhong Xi said this, Duan Peng immediately thought of Xiao Wu who appeared in the repair shop today. He couldn't help nodding and responding, "Okay, I'll talk to the master early tomorrow morning."
"Brother Zhong, Xiaopeng!" The two were discussing how to deal with Duan Peng's soaring strength. Suddenly, a sudden sound almost didn't scare the two people jumped directly from their chairs.
"Xiao Ruo, it's you! Have you finished your training today? Duan Peng looked up, but it turned out that Dong Ruo had arrived. As usual, Dong Ruo rushed into the house like a whirlwind.
"How many times have you said it, call it Sister Ruo!" Dong Ruo stretched out his hand and knocked on Duan Peng's head.
"Alas!" Duan Peng sighed and asked, "Do you think you look like a little sister?"
"What did you say!" Dong Ruo was furious, but soon she couldn't stand it. She rushed to pinch Duan Peng with her teeth and claws. After a while, she covered her stomach and asked pitifully, "What are you going to eat tonight? I haven't had dinner yet!"
"Brother Li doesn't seem to have come back yet. Let's eat when Brother Li comes back." Duan Peng looked at the room. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Xiao Ruo, you said that you eat at our house every day. Do you also need to bring us some food when you come next time?"
As soon as Duan Peng's words fell, the two continued to quarrel again.
Zhong Xi did not say anything, but just sat and watched quietly with a smile. He had no sense of belonging to this village, but he still had a good impression on Dong Ruo. If it hadn't been for Dong Ruo, Duan Peng would not have come out of the shadow of his parents being arrested and the destruction of the village so soon.
After making trouble for a while, Zhong Li finally came back and looked at the people who were waiting for him. Zhong Li just said faintly, "I'm back." Then he walked towards his room.
As soon as Zhong Xi frowned and was about to speak, Duan Peng said first, "Brother Li, we are going to have dinner and wait for you to come back."
Zhong Li's footsteps paused and did not look back. He stood still for a while before saying, "I'll change my clothes and come out in a moment. You can eat first." After saying that, he walked into his room.
Dong Ruo glanced at the direction of the door and asked in a low voice, "Is Brother Li still not happy about the mecha?" Although Zhong Li is not very talkative and doesn't have many intersections with Dong Ruo, Dong Ruo often comes here, so he still knows a little reason.
"Don't pay attention to him. Let's eat first." With that, Zhong Xi walked into the kitchen.
"Why don't I go to my father and ask him to transfer Brother Li to the Jiashi team?" Dong Ruo asked Duan Peng in a low voice.
Duan Peng's eyes lit up, which was a solution to the problem. "Is it okay?"
"I'll try my best! Don't tell them first!" Dong Ruo's eyes suddenly became a little hesitant. She said it was okay, but she was completely uncertain whether she could move Dong Ming, otherwise she would not have trained until this time every day.
As soon as the three picked up the rice bowl, Zhong Li came out of the room. Watching Zhong Li come out, Zhong Xi's eyebrows couldn't help loosening a lot. He took the initiative to get aside and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Zhong Li.
Zhong Li took the bowl and chopsticks, and the gloom in his expression also dissipated a lot. He said, "Brother, today the captain told me what kind of competition he wanted me to participate in the village."
"Competition? What game?"
"It seems that it is a competition for young people over 16 and under 20 years old, and I'm not sure about the specifics." Zhong Li scratched his head.
"Ah, by the way, I'm here to tell you about this, but I didn't expect to forget it as soon as I came." Dong Ruo cutely stretched out his tongue.
"What kind of competition is that?" Zhong Xi turned to Dong Ruo and asked again. Zhong Li couldn't make it clear.
"People in the village usually call him a coming-of-age ceremony, which is held once a year. It is a hunting competition." Dong Ruo said while eating.
"Hunting? Isn't that going to leave the village? Does Xiaopeng also want to participate? Zhong Xi's eyes were more surprised. If Xiaopeng and Zhong Li want to participate, this competition is an opportunity for him, an opportunity to get out of the village, and Duan Peng's mecha repair has just laid the foundation.
Before Dong Ruo spoke, Duan Peng nodded, "Today, someone came to the repair shop to inform me, but the master said that he didn't have to worry about him, so I didn't care."
Zhong Xi nodded gently and said, "That means that there will be two people in our family who will participate in this competition. Xiao Ruo, please tell us about the process of this competition!"
"Well, okay." Dong Ruo put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, "The whole competition will last for seven days. We competitors will be thrown out of the village and must stay outside the village for seven days. If we return to the village halfway, we will be directly awarded the loss. Then everyone compares the harvest. There is a score manual in the village, and all the prey that can think of has corresponding scores on the score manual. At that time, it will be counted according to that standard, and then summarize the ranking.
"Is that it?" Zhong Liwen asked angrily that he had four years of hunting experience in the previous village, which was too simple for him to have almost no difficulty.
"Well, I didn't make it clear." Dong Ruo patted his head and quickly added, "The village arranges a team competition, not an individual competition. For example, Brother Li, they should arrange a 16-year-old as your match, and then your task is not only to protect yourself, but also to ensure his safety, because once he is injured, you will be straight. If you are sentenced, it is more important that you have to face the blame of his family. Speaking of this, a rare solemnity also appeared on Dong Ruo's face.
But not long after, Dong Ruo pulled Duan Peng's sleeve with a smile and said, "So, my partner this time is Xiaopeng!" After saying that, he said to Duan Peng, "Xiao Peng, you will definitely not cause me any trouble, will you?"
Duan Peng giggled and didn't say anything.
After taking a look at Zhong Li, Dong Ruo continued, "Yes, Brother Li, this is also an opportunity for you. If you can get the first place in this competition, you can ask the village for a mecha. That's how my mecha came from.
"Really?" Originally, Zhong Li was not interested in this kind of competition, but when he heard Dong Ruo's words, Zhong Li's expression suddenly became excited. Can you really reward me with a mecha?"
"Yes." Dong Ruo nodded with a smile, "As long as you are not too bad at mecha driving, there should be no problem."
The smile on Zhong Xi's face disappeared. Since Dong Ruo talked about the team rules behind him, he couldn't listen to the conversation behind several people at all.
Zhong Xi originally planned to let Duan Peng and Zhong Li find a place to meet after leaving the village, and then he tried to leave the village by himself. Unexpectedly, the village turned out to be an arranged team match. Duan Peng was fine, but if Zhong Li left, he had to abandon a 16-year-old child. Thinking of this, Zhong Xi also felt a little more uncomfortable.
"Xiao Ruo, can you choose this combination by yourself?" Zhong Xi asked quietly.
"No, it is generally a combination of strong strength and a weak combination." Dong Ruo shook his head.
"Then how do you know you can be in the same team as Xiaopeng?" Zhong Xi is still a little unwilling.
"I once won the first place in the competition, so I should be strong." Dong Ruo said with a smile, "And Xiaopeng is only 16 years old this year. He should be weak, so there is no problem with our combination."
"Oh." Zhong Xi nodded gently and didn't say anything more. He has decided to explore the detailed rules of this game tomorrow. If Zhong Li can form a team with Duan Peng, it would be perfect.
