Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1028 - 708: Trouble

The spaceship finally reached its destination at the culmination of a smooth flight.

Through the porthole, Bai E and the others had their first chance to witness the full grandeur of the "Star City."

It was not a planet, but a colossal, unimaginably vast ring-shaped space colony built on the orbit of the "Glory Tournament World" gravity.

The immense structures made of countless alloys and crystals were nested layer upon layer like a stellar ring, rotating with all sorts of energy light bands flowing across their surfaces.

Dense landing platforms and transportation pipelines covered the city like a beehive, with ships of various forms from all over the universe, flowing steadily like schools of fish guided by beams of light into the "veins" of this cosmic hub.

"This is… Star City." Catherine stood beside Bai E and murmured in awe.

The scene before their eyes was far more magnificent, bustling, and futuristic than any city in the Peak Alliance.

This, here, was a direct manifestation of the core strength of human civilization.

Following the received guiding signals, the spaceship slowly cruised into the specified airport channel.

Through the transparent alloy walls of the channel, the scene of the "International Pavilion" area was clearly visible —

It was a massive architectural complex divided into numerous independent areas, each with distinct styles. Some appeared like steel fortresses, others were covered with lush ecological domes, and some shimmered with the glow of Spiritual Energy, evidently designed specifically for teams of different civilizations' styles.

The New Bauhinia's spaceship finally docked at the berth labeled "Zone 7."

The hatch opened, and fresh circulating air flooded in, carrying a unique scent of metal and energy.

Bai E led the group down the gangway, stepping onto the first temporary territory of the "New Bauhinia" at the Galaxy Center.

The architectural style of Zone 7's base was simple and practical, with a main building of a composite structure featuring strong, clean lines, and the silver-grey exterior walls were sprayed with a reduced version of the "New Bauhinia" emblem surrounded by flames and thorns.

One side of the building was connected to two standard-specification mech tuning warehouses, with silver-white alloy doors tightly shut; on the other side was a semi-open simulation training ground, equipped with various basic obstacles and targets.

The perimeter of the base was separated by a semi-transparent energy barrier, ensuring privacy and basic security without complete enclosure.

Having received notification beforehand, a specialist from the Star Alliance event committee awaited at the entrance, and after verifying Bai E and the others' identification codes, guided them into the base.

The accommodation area was clean and tidy, equipped with standardized living facilities.

The tactical discussion room was located on the middle floor of the building, with panoramic observation windows overlooking part of the training ground. The room was equipped with advanced holographic tactical tables and encrypted communication devices.

The interior of the two mech warehouses was spacious, with basic maintenance equipment and energy interfaces fully equipped, sufficient to park and initially tune the dozens of main mechas they brought.

"The conditions are better than expected," Gong Yan surveyed the facilities and nodded. "They're sufficient for our preliminary stationing and training needs."

Bai E walked to the window of the tactical discussion room, gazing at the never-extinguishing brilliant lights of the "Star City" outside, and in the distance, other regions vaguely showcasing the bases of other strong teams.

He could feel countless gazes, some curious, some scrutinizing, others carrying complex emotions, cast towards the newcomer team "New Bauhinia" from corners of this space city.

"This is our starting point," Bai E turned to the core members gathered inside the room and said, "The next month should be spent familiarizing ourselves with the environment, gathering intelligence, and adjusting our condition. Here is our first home during the Star Alliance Finals. For now, let's settle in."

They followed orders, beginning to systematically assign rooms, unload necessary supplies, and check the functionality of the base.

Having initially adapted to the environment of "Zone 7" of the International Pavilion at Star City, following Bai E's instructions, Gong Yan, Kuang Xin, and others began systematically gathering intelligence on the participating teams from the Galaxy Center under the guidance of Elorin scholars.

Bai E, meanwhile, took the core members to selectively interact with other participants, experiencing the atmosphere here personally and identifying potential opponents.

Their first choice was to head to "Starlit Arena," one of the advanced public training areas open to participants from the "Star City."

This arena was a massive venue integrated with various complex environment simulations and advanced training equipment, often serving as a place for mech pilots from different teams to observe each other, or even engage in informal sparring. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

When Bai E, Catherine, Rose, and a few key members along with Elorin scholars acting as liaison officers entered this brilliantly lit, bustling area, they immediately felt a vibe starkly different from the Edge Star Domain.

The Spiritual Energy fluctuations and life essences gathered here were generally more refined, powerful, and even bore clear marks unique to their respective civilizations.

The air was imbued with the scents of metal, energy, sweat, and... a faint aroma of competition and scrutiny.

Their first notice was drawn to the northwest corner, an area shrouded by a special Gravity Field.

Within it, several mechas, each with a distinct style yet all emanating a powerful, oppressive aura, were conducting adaptive training.

Among them, the most attention-grabbing was a mech adorned in golden and luxurious deep red livery, embellished to the point of lavishness, and moving with a strange rhythmic grace.
