Chapter 402: Chapter 177: This Mecha is Poisonous
So, Koje, with the ID “Pick up girls”, did not advance forward but instead retreated.
The terrain in the valley bottom jungle was uneven, becoming a seasoned player immersed in artillery warfare for many years.
The origins of his “three thousand cannons” were no joke, he had climbed from bronze one star to silver one star, and who knows how many fellow cadets he had outmaneuvered.
His combat record was achieved standing above numerous corpses.
The Artillery War God finally found a high slope, and the artillery mount on its back extended and pierced into the ground.
Both shoulder cannons could now enter stable firing mode.
In the cockpit, Koje stroked his chin, looking at the dense jungle in the distance at the bottom of the valley, roughly three hundred meters wide.
The first step in carpet bombing tactics—create an isolation zone.
The map was four kilometers long.
Koje locked his gaze directly on the central region and then rapidly clicked with his fingers.
Ammunition switch: Incendiary Grenades, small caliber incendiary bombs.
Both arms raised, cannon barrels on the shoulders lifted.
All four barrels simultaneously elevated at a thirty-degree angle!
Koje rapidly and deftly tapped his fingers across the control panel.
A series of artillery firing commands were quickly entered into the fire control system.
Ripple relay coverage, annihilation fire strike on both ends, mixed particle impact tactics…
This mecha body, coated in a lurid yellow-green, now merged entirely with the surrounding jungle.
Mu Fan, who was excitedly controlling the “Bone Fossil” to run, had now adapted to the real sensation of vibration, and with each leap, the vibrations unfiltered by the cockpit realistically reverberated through his body.
This subtle sensation was different from even a 100% neural simulation, as muscles across his body could feel feedback from all angles.
This was what driving a real mecha felt like.
“Dadadadadadada!”
The two reverse-jointed mechanical legs moved powerfully, this silver metal ostrich speeding through the jungle.
Looking up through the occasional gaps in the branches and leaves, he could see the azure sky.
Mu Fan knew from experience in jungle warfare that entering the thick forests could effectively filter out an enemy’s radar scans.
At least, no alarm had appeared on Mu Fan’s radar dial for now.
Then, suddenly, four thunderous roars erupted in the distance.
An enemy!?
Mu Fan’s battle cells mobilized in that moment.
A red dot appeared on the radar dial from where the thunderous noise originated.
And then, in the radar map, a high-temperature area appeared in front of him!
Incendiary bombs?
This was meant to block his route of advance!
No way.
Mu Fan didn’t have time to manipulate the missile joystick and directly controlled the Bone Fossil to continue running with a clatter of its long mechanical legs.
A cloud of dust rose behind him.
And after the dense smoke in the central area of the valley had dispersed, Koje finally saw the effect of his bombardment, indeed creating a patch with no forest!
At this moment, the mecha Bone Fossil also appeared on his radar.
Knowing his own level of remote control, Mu Fan knew he had to engage in close combat.
He did not expect that he was immediately spotted by “Pick up girls” right after appearing.
“What style, where did you find such a big ostrich!”
“Come, let me fix you up.”
With an indescribably sleazy voice, a 135mm cannon instantly locked onto the Bone Fossil.
At the same time, the Impact Particle Cannon and Rapid Fire Cannon locked onto one position.
They were set to fire with a delay of 0.5 seconds each.
Fire!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Bursts of flames began to emerge from the front of the Artillery War God.
Mu Fan was preparing to use the Bone Fossil’s jumping ability to swiftly cross the no-forest zone when suddenly, the sound of the mecha body being locked onto blared inside the cockpit.
Mu Fan struggled to control the mecha to perform the Chaotic Zigzag Step for evasive maneuvering.
But he forgot that at this moment, the mecha he controlled was shaped like an ostrich.
As a result, those two wings fluttered clumsily without a dynamic balance system for stabilization, and the anticipated maneuvering simply did not happen.
“It’s over,” Mu Fan’s eyes widened.
This time, the Artillery War God switched to High Explosive Bombs and the shockwave from the first explosion shoved the Bone Fossil several meters away.
A barrage covered the Mecha Body, the scorching bullet tore through the shell and then penetrated the cockpit.
Mu Fan hadn’t even had time to react before everything went dark.
Player [Shura]killed in action!
He hadn’t fired a single shot and hadn’t even seen what the enemy looked like…
Koje was excitedly watching the smoke rising from the area, tears in his eyes.
“Whoever you are, brother, I thank you.”
His silver 1-star ranking was finally seeing a turn of events!
Having exited the battle, Mu Fan’s head was still a bit dazed.
No Cold Weapons, no arms, no Black’s assistance, just seemingly powerful firepower.
But he had no experience with Mecha Body shooting, and the opponent used ultra-heavy firepower to end him in an instant.
This scene was so similar to the one where he piloted the RX16 on Loga Star and was struck by the Thunder Sacrifice Surge Cannon.
But this time, Mu Fan refused to believe it. His skill level couldn’t possibly have entered the PO Battle Net to be struck down like this.
The system continued to show those three Mecha Bodies.
This time Mu Fan said he would definitely not choose that [Bone Fossil] again.
Only two left.
[Prototype Iron Ball]
[Wild Boar]
Heh, the anger in Mu Fan’s heart hadn’t yet been vented. Wild Boar?
What a joke, he didn’t want to go from an ostrich to a wild boar.
Such malice in the program designer!
Player [Shura], please select a Mecha Body.
This time, Mu Fan quickly said, “Prototype Iron Ball.”
Mecha Body selected [Prototype Iron Ball], countdown 3, 2, 1, 0.
Dingchuan Academy internal network battle begins!
[Shura](No Rank) VS [Bingbing](Bronze 4-star).
This was a bronze player, Mu Fan took a deep breath, determined to win this time.
Little did anyone know, Bing Su, one of the three famous beauties of the Swordsmanship Club, had a small hobby.
That was to engage in Mecha combat for a while after her daily Sword Dao training. Her personality was more likable than Lu Qingxue’s, and her strength wasn’t as overwhelmingly exaggerated, which attracted many suitors, although the Bing Su family had forbidden her from dating while she was in school.
So whenever she felt gloomy or physically exhausted, venting in the Battle Net became her best choice.
She didn’t know why, but when she saw the first Mecha get chopped in half, a little demon seemed to revive in her heart, so she used the homophone of Bing, her surname, as her internal Battle Net ID.
This ID wasn’t flamboyant and could also keep her little secret hidden.
“Hey, looks like there’s a treat today?”
When Bing Su saw the name [Shura] and the subsequent battle record, her face lit up with joy.
0 wins, 1 loss, No Rank.
This directly ruled out the possibility of a high-level player’s alternative account, probably a new student who had joined the school’s internal network.
Thus, the graceful Bing Su, with a sparkle in her eyes, entered the fray.
Her level 5 Mecha, Sword Dancer, was not to be taken lightly.
Mu Fan ran his palm again over the cold console.
This is… 128 key positions?
Why are there fewer and fewer, could there be a Coordination Device?
No.
Mu Fan looked left and right, confirmed he couldn’t find one.
And the number of mechanical control sticks was half compared to the previous ostrich.
However, looking left and right in the cockpit, its area had doubled!
…
Mu Fan felt very uncertain now, despite the control console being a bit crude and having fewer keys, at least he was willing to accept even the most basic fighting training Mecha.
With a hum, the Half-Circle cockpit’s power turned on.
Mu Fan saw the three-dimensional hologram of the [Prototype Iron Ball] Mecha on the screen, and his brain buzzed.
Five words resonated in his mind.
This Mecha is toxic… Ah!!
