Chapter 261 - Semi-Automatic Rifle Tournament (1/2)

At the canteen…

Almost all the East Asian recruits were immersed in eating. Occasionally, they would sneak a peek at Qin Fen and his team table, and they weren’t peeking because Qin Fen had won first place in the pistol shooting tournament.

Neither were they looking again and again because of the three stunning beauties that were sitting at the table.

But rather it was because of Zhao Huzi. To everyone’s surprise, this commander of the East Asia team participating in the recruit tournament had appeared in the canteen.

As a General, he had a separate special mess for him. There was no need for him to appear at this canteen.

However, General Zhao was actually here. More importantly, he was casually sitting across Qin Fen. And after every one or two bites, he would look up to Qin Fen and heartily smile.

When he saw European recruits appear in the canteen, General Zhao’s face, which could not be considered as handsome and spirited no matter how one looked at it, blossomed with joy like a flower in bloom.

In contrast, each and every European recruit looked like an eggplant shriveled up by the frost.

The fact that the Crusade’s mobile armors had been destroyed and their pilots hospitalized had already been spread privately among the European recruits.

Why were the Crusade’s mobile armors demolished? A majority of the European recruits could pretty much guess that they must have kicked an iron plate.

Every time these European recruits who have come to have breakfast saw the recruits of other continents, they would become dejected and despondent like a grieving army. Only when they looked at East Asian recruits would their eyes be shooting flames.

Had gang fights not been forbidden in the recruit tournament, these European recruits might not have been able to suppress the anger in their chest and would have started publicly fighting with the East Asian recruits in the canteen already.

Some well-informed European recruits even came to learn that the champion of the yesterday’s pistol shooting tournament had appeared at the critical moment and piloted the mobile armors, mowing down the Crusaders and completely demolishing their mobile armors.

Qin Fen’s dining table, in addition to the curious gazes of the East Asian recruits also received the furious glares of a bunch of European recruits.

If this kind of glares fell upon someone else, perhaps he or she might not have felt anything. But Qin Fen’s martial senses, on the other hand, were too keen. Sitting there on the bench, Qin Fen felt like he was sitting on the burning piece of an iron block with countless arrows shooting at him from behind.

Forget it! Think of it as practicing your temperament!

Yet again, Qin Fen found that this morning was truly a helpless one. All he could do was secretly advise himself.

Having finished eating breakfast, Qin Fen rushed to the venue early on.

Today’s venue was a mountainous area with dense forest. In the middle of this dense forest, there was another temporary tall building.

This was an almost completely open-air venue. However, the organizing committee had used various means to broadcast live projection to the tens of thousands of spectators at the venue for the first time.

Although it wasn’t right on the field, it was the only place from where one could watch the Tournament.

Yesterday, that crazy pistol shooting tournament had teased the appetite of many spectators.

Only when Xue Tian and the others arrived at the grandstands did they discovered that they hadn’t arrived early. They had never imagined that they almost would not be able to find seats.

Today, the huge arena was almost jam-packed with people. The top recruits of various continents had also come to this venue.

Today, although there was a mobile armor battle between East Asia Military Region and European Military Region along with the semi-automatic rifle tournament…

Not many people had gone there to watch it.

There was no impregnable wall in this world. Especially when the tournament was approaching and the European Military Region mobile armor team was nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, the European Military Region officials were engaged in an intense negotiation with the tournament officials.

Intuitive people, having inquired a bit through some of their contacts in the assembly, immediately came to know what exactly happened with the European mobile armor recruit team.

As the saying goes, news of good works seldom go beyond the threshold of the house but reports of evil deeds are quickly circulated for a thousand miles around.

There wasn’t a bit falsehood in this statement.

As the first person came to know the truth, he told this secret to his friends at once. Likewise, this friend passed it on to the others. One passed it on to ten, and ten to a hundred, and in this way, the secret was known to the entire tournament area.

On one side, people laughed at the European Military Region aerial combat team for its inexplicable withdrawal from the tournament as well as the fact that all of their mobile armors had been privately dismantled by an East Asian mysterious mobile armor expert. On another hand, they were secretly astounded by the fact that the momentum of the East Asian Military Region seemed to be much stronger than before.

In the three times that the Eastern Asian Military Region had acted, although they had not clashed with the American Military Region which was first in overall strength, they had clashed with the European Military Region which was known to be second in overall strength.

Moreover, in these three clashes, they had won twice against the European Military Region in events in which the European Military Region had been traditionally superior. It must be brought to notice that in traditionally superior events of the European Military Region, even the American Military Region was overwhelmed.

Nonetheless, the East Asia Military Region had repeatedly eliminated the European Military Region.

Is the East Asia Military Region really going to rise strongly this time? Recruits of various military regions stared at the recruits wearing the East Asian military uniform with vigilant eyes.

Under the guidance of the tournament staff, Qin Fen arrived at the venue.

It was the peripheral corner of the mountain forest area.

Here, there was only Qin Fen, him and him alone, no other recruit had appeared here.

Qin Fen patiently listened to the staff’s explanation. The semi-automatic rifle tournament this time was going to be carried out at the same time.
