(“Gu and Zhu” classmates! President Gu, the third update is here!)
Inside the jungle, a momentous aerobics lesson was unfolding, while players scattered in the hills and lakes began to murmur. Why hadn’t they come across other players after so long?
They could never have imagined that a brilliant comedy was taking place in the jungle.
“Bang,” another shot fired, and a mech that clearly wasn’t looking this way got a headshot from Miss Wang, leaving the remaining mechs watching quietly and intently.
But, forcing a bunch of grown men to watch mech aerobics was a bit embarrassing.
Mu Fan couldn’t be bothered to watch the chubby girl’s enchanting dance; he opened the leaderboard for a glance. His two points had unexpectedly placed him in the top three, with the second place surprisingly being that chubby girl doing aerobics! The first was an unfamiliar name, seemingly situated in a different area.
The audience also noticed the leaderboard, then paid attention to the time. Less than ten minutes remained.
“Experts, keep it up, more than half are still outside!”
“Hurry and find those people, quickly drag them over to watch the enchanting aerobics.”
“Hahahaha!”
By now, the forum post had become a complete platform for audience interaction. The spectacular dialogues drew in even more viewers, with paid subscribers exceeding a thousand.
“Mu Fan, leave the jungle and try your luck in the hills,” Black thought of a new sneaky tactic, ready for Mu Fan to test it.
Mu Fan nodded in agreement.
“This time, you need effective kills; those still hiding outside are the real enemies. They will attack immediately, so you need to be serious.”
I’m always serious, aren’t I? Mu Fan inwardly complained.
He glanced at the Crack Electric Blade in his hand, with its electric glow still exuding imposing power. Holding it diagonally in his right hand, Mu Fan controlled the Undead Mecha to start running out of the jungle.
“Now, try attacking with a sword. Unlike a dagger attack, you need to grip with both hands to fully utilize the mech’s strength. It’s more suitable for close combat fighting than a dagger,” Lord Black diligently advised.
Mu Fan’s mech quickly left the jungle, and just as he exited, a red dot flashed on the radar, not far away.
There was an enemy!
Mu Fan’s Chaotic Zigzag Step with 6-key synchronization was instantly executed, causing the whole mech to advance in a bizarre Z-shaped movement.
Bang bang!
Craters erupted behind him; sure enough, there was an enemy.
Locking onto the mech holding its gun and firing in front, Mu Fan charged with his sword, APM 390! His hand tremored at high frequency.
The mech’s successive dozen shots all missed, and then it was decapitated by the approaching Undead Mecha with a single slash, then a reverse diagonal slash blew up the entire mech!
Honor points +1.
“Yes, that’s the way, a man needs to be masculine.”
“Indeed, there’s strength.”
The forum crowd hooted, and Lord Black contentedly scanned through the post comments, where they were refreshing rapidly at a rate of one per second.
Up the mountain!
On the other side, entering the hilly areas, there was cover from rocks and trees, making the terrain even more complex than the jungle.
Radar effectiveness began to weaken.
How can this be? Lord Black was dissatisfied; weakening effectiveness slowed the killing speed, the audience would lose interest, and then Lord Black would be neglected.
Activate cheat mode!
In an instant, Mu Fan found a dozen red dots appearing on his radar, near and far, startling him.
How did so many enemies suddenly appear?
“Ahem, Mu Fan, this lord has liberated your radar functions a bit—don’t you realize you’re piloting a reconnaissance mecha?”
Mu Fan inwardly marveled at how powerful the radar scanning function of a reconnaissance mecha turned out to be.
But if the GM of the PO Battle Net saw it, they’d surely curse up a storm; is this what you call liberating? You liberated 500% of the power, didn’t you?
In any case, Mu Fan controlled the Undead Mecha to race across the mountain range, targeting very clearly, eliminating each red dot one by one.
Paid viewers couldn’t figure out why the Undead Mecha was sprinting madly towards a rock.
“Why is he running so fast?”
“Isn’t he afraid of alerting the enemy?”
As the discussing audience watched, the Undead Mecha backflipped and, while in midair, swung the Crack Electric Blade down and behind.
This move is stylish! But why cut the rock?
However, they quickly began to cheer because flames erupted from behind the rock.
There was a hidden mech!
Someone had actually used camouflage to hide here.
The player hidden behind the rock couldn’t understand; their entire mech was in minimum power mode with all active radar shut off. How could they have been discovered so precisely?
The mecha’s durability dropped by 33%, and this mech hidden in the mountains drew out an Active Cannon to prepare for a counterattack.
Swoosh swoosh! Two streaks of blade light flashed, severing both arms at the shoulders.
Before they realized, the last view in their sights was the opposite camouflaged mech raising its blade upward.
Did that mech activate biological radar?
After easily slaying this mech, Mu Fan contentedly gazed at the radar display inside his cockpit, affirming its reputation as a reconnaissance mecha.
Proceeding with the same approach, Mu Fan swiftly cleared eight mecha on a mountain peak. Soon, Mu Fan rose to the first position on the leaderboard.
The audience also noticed Mu Fan’s unusually decisive actions, as the Undead Mecha seemed to leave no survivors after leaving the jungle, starting a frenzied slaughter.
It was almost like targeted demolition, uncovering and cutting down every mech hiding like groundhogs across the hills, thrilling the watchers.
But this activity soon drew attention from others, and the remaining hidden mechs began contacting each other.
They started focusing on the mech named “Egg Lord,” as its honor points were rising too quickly. They needed to unite and take down this dominant mech first.
While descending the mountain, Mu Fan suddenly received a notification from Black:
“Prepare for the big move.”
Still clueless, Mu Fan glanced at the map radar, suddenly finding another dozen red dots, clustered closely together. They weren’t far from him, roughly two to three kilometers away. They’d likely be in sight after passing this mountain path.
A whole group?
Mu Fan was a bit surprised, but not overly reactive. After the battle on Loga Star against the star thieves, Mu Fan’s combat experience had grown at an unreasonably rapid speed.
He couldn’t die, should he prepare for a big move?
What sort of big move? Mu Fan pondered intently, as the Undead Mecha moved down the mountain.
Just one kilometer left, a turn up ahead probably reveals them.
“That mech is about to appear!” A player in the temporary alliance with the highest radar performance announced.
“Prepare.”
“Where is it?”
The red dot on the map did indeed approach, but where was the person?
The forum crowd erupted again.
“Boast Man’s big winged dive is bright!”
“Rustic illiterate, be quiet.”
“Screw you.”
“He actually flipped over that mountain wall and jumped down; I bet those people didn’t see that coming, hahahaha.”
Indeed, Mu Fan recalled a vaguely remembered big move.
One of the terrifying techniques of the Shura Mecha—Death God Chisel Strike!
