Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr After the 10-second protection period ended, Ling Lan did not wait for the opponent to make a move like she had in the first match. [Full-time Expert]'s extremely careless attitude made Ling Lan think that the opponent was not even worthy of operating a mecha to fight.
Thus, Ling Lan controlled her rabbit mecha to pounce over without hesitation. With a powerful kick, her mecha shot forward like an arrow, sticking close to the ground. She instantly drew the carrot blade from the rabbit's mouth and swept it out, drawing a brilliant red arc in the air as it slashed towards the cockpit of the humanoid mecha opposite her.
"Warning! Danger! " The opponent's mainframe only had time to issue this warning before the initially bright cockpit was plunged into darkness. Then, the system's voice rang out, "You have died. Please choose to continue to the next round of the match or to leave?"
[Full-time Expert]'s chest was about to explode from anger at this unexpected outcome. He believed that the opponent must have used improper control in this attack, otherwise how could he have been killed in one move? This rabbit was really too despicable — no wonder the team had issued a kill order for it. And he had even pitied the other...
[Full-time Expert] decided to go back and find the other, and then teach the other a harsh lesson, letting the other understand that a person should not be so despicable. [Full-time Expert] chose to withdraw from the match, and then checked his own battle records, hoping to find information on that rabbit. Unexpectedly, the opponent had chosen to remain anonymous. This made [Full-time Expert] even more convinced that the opponent had been prepared for this, and had wanted to use these rule-breaking methods to cheat him of his points. He was extremely indignant, so he immediately protested to the Mecha World system, hoping that the system would judge the opponent's victory as invalid. Not only that, he also complained that the opponent might have used improper methods, violating the system's rules.
Very quickly, the system responded. The system judged this match to be valid. [Full-time Expert]'s protest was rejected, and the contents of his complaint were judged by the system to be assumptions, a type of false accusation.
For false accusations, whether in the real world or in the virtual world, the punishment was extremely severe. [Full-time Expert] had 2000 points deducted by the system, and was also banned from the competition for 10 matches. This result made [Full-time Expert] explode. He was so angry that he could not control himself, cursing out loud. Then, something even more tragic happened — [Full-time Expert] was kicked out of the virtual world for his actions, and was also notified that he would be banned from the virtual world for three days.
Full-time Expert looked at the red warning and angrily kicked open the login pod in the virtual world. He climbed out and roared, "Damn mainframe, I'm so angry."
A login hatch beside him suddenly opened at this moment, and a youth sat inside. He asked with a puzzled expression, "Qiao Lin, why did you come out? No wonder I couldn't find you in Mecha World. "
He tried to call for [Full Professional Expert] in Mecha World, but was told by the system that he could not be contacted. Out of worry, he went offline to check, and sure enough, the other party had left the virtual world.
When Qiao Lin saw the other, it was as if he had found someone to complain to. He immediately told the other about everything that had happened in Mecha World.
That person frowned slightly, not agreeing with Qiao Lin's opinion. He said, "Since the mainframe didn't find anything wrong with the other party, it means that the other party definitely didn't cheat. Perhaps you underestimated the enemy too much."
Qiao Lin said angrily, "How is that possible? Even if I didn't take him seriously, he is also a trainee mecha operator. How could he have one-shotted me? I didn't even enter the mecha challenge. " At the end of the day, he still could not believe that he had been one-shotted by a trainee mecha operator of the same level. He could not accept this outcome.
That person paused at Qiao Lin's words. Knowing that Qiao Lin could not accept this result, he tried to persuade him tactfully, "It's very likely that the other party is a hacker, and did something that the mainframe couldn't see through. You're angry for nothing right now. Why don't you find a chance to take revenge in the future?"
Although he was comforting Qiao Lin like this, his expression showed a trace of disapproval. Mecha World was known as the safest virtual world. Hackers had no way of tampering with it at all, unless they were the even more terrifying spectre evolvers. However, spectre evolvers relied on directly damaging the opponent's spiritual power to obtain victory. Looking at Qiao Lin's current agitated state, this possibility could be directly ruled out. The truth was very likely as he had guessed — Qiao Lin had been careless, and it was only by chance that he had been one-shotted this time.
If not for the fact that Qiao Lin was Thunder King Qiao Ting's younger brother, he would not have said such comforting words at all. Looking at the still unconvinced Qiao Lin, he could not help but sigh inwardly. Even though they were brothers, sharing the same bloodline, their talents were completely different. Thunder King Qiao Ting was a genius mecha operator who was the center of attention, while Qiao Lin was a hopeless weakling who could only use his elder brother's reputation to throw his weight around …
After continuing to persuade Qiao Lin with kind words, he bid the other farewell and returned to the virtual login pod. The moment the login pod closed, Qiao Lin, whose expression had been mixed with anger, suddenly broke into a mocking smile …
These past two days, a piece of news had caused an uproar among the lower mecha operators. In the newbie tournament, a certain trainee rabbit mecha had consecutively killed almost 40 other trainee mecha operators of the same level in a single day, rising straight to the top of the rookie leaderboard.
Winning almost 40 matches consecutively was not big news. Many people had achieved such results before, but of course, those people had not accomplished this feat in a single day.
Indeed, in terms of time, the rabbit mecha was rather surprising, but this was not one of the reasons for the uproar. The reason the entire Mecha World was shaken was because the rabbit mecha had been able to achieve a one-shotted kill against an opponent of the same level. Not just once or twice, but every single time. This result was absolutely unprecedented. Although no one knew if there would be anyone who could match it in the future, in the short term, no one would be able to do this …
Furthermore, this was not some cross-level arena match. Due to the difference in level, the difference in strength was relatively large, making it easy to achieve a one-shotted kill. In a newbie tournament, because everyone was a newbie, it was very difficult to see such an overwhelming difference in strength. Many people suspected that the rabbit mecha had been training his basic controls in the mecha training hall all this time, only entering Mecha World when he had reached his limit. That was why his strength was so high.
Of course, there were also people who suspected that he was a smurf account created by some expert, but this speculation was directly denied by the officials of Mecha World. This was because there were no smurfs in Mecha World. Everyone's brainwaves and spiritual power were unique, and in a virtual world that used brainwaves and spiritual power as a login source, it was impossible for a second account to appear.
Even if it was a mentally mutated hacker or an even more terrifying spectre evolver, they could not change their own brainwaves and spiritual power to create a new account. They could only use shielding methods to prevent the system from seeing through their real identities. However, they similarly could not change the fact that they had already existed. For example, changing from a mecha expert to a trainee mecha operator …
The official announcement pushed the matter to a climax. More and more people were inclined to believe that the rabbit mecha had trained for several years in the training hall to achieve today's stunning results. Still, the rabbit mecha did not stop his battle results. On the second day, he slashed down over 60 people in a frenzy, pushing his winning streak to 100 matches. And in these 100 matches, all of them were one-shotted kills.
This result made those lower level mecha operators even more frenzied. Many people regretted that they had not properly trained their basic controls, not cherishing their first mecha, switching to a better mecha before they had even familiarized themselves with it. Many people began to idolize the rabbit mecha, even believing that he would become the Federation's most talented mecha operator … it was very likely that another genius Ling Xiao had appeared.
On the third day, just as everyone was waiting for the rabbit mecha to continue his battles, they found that the rabbit mecha was nowhere to be found in the newcomer's match … just as everyone was puzzled, someone calculated the rabbit mecha's points and found that the points from 100 consecutive victories were enough for the rabbit mecha to advance to a lower level mecha warrior.
In other words, the rabbit mecha could participate in the lowest level cross-level challenge matches. Many people thought that the rabbit mecha would definitely participate in the cross-level challenge matches, but they found that the mysterious rabbit mecha had really disappeared from the mecha arena matches. It was as if the crazy battle results of the previous two days were just a dream, something that everyone had collectively imagined.
"Li Lanfeng, you've been studying the rabbit mecha's combat techniques recently. Have you discovered anything?" In the fourth-year dormitory, Zhao Jun, who had been dropping by, could not help but ask when he saw Li Lanfeng studying those videos again.
"Just as everyone said, his basic controls are close to perfection. Not a single move was wasted, so clean that it's frightening," replied Li Lanfeng with a serious expression.
"Looks like the opponent's combat style is very similar to yours!" Zhao Jun understood Li Lanfeng well. His good friend was also someone who pursued perfection in basic controls. This was also why Li Lanfeng had not advanced to special-class operator all this time. He had been stuck at advanced mecha warrior for two years because he wanted to train his advanced mecha warrior basic controls to proficiency, or even perfection. Otherwise, Li Lanfeng's current mecha level would have been the same as his. Two years' time was enough for him to pry into the secrets of ace operators.
Zhao Jun had always thought that Li Lanfeng had some sort of morbid obsession with basic controls, but he did not agree with him. Everyone knew that the higher the level of a mecha operator, the more complicated and powerful the control moves they could learn. Many people did not want to waste time on the basic controls of low-level mecha. In his eyes, the basic controls of each level only needed to be practiced; there was no need to train them to perfection. Zhao Jun had always thought that Li Lanfeng was just wasting his time.
However, Zhao Jun would not force Li Lanfeng to change his ways. Compared to Li Lanfeng's mecha piloting skills, Zhao Jun had more faith in the other's brains and strategy. In fact, he even thought that Li Lanfeng was more suited to be a strategist, rather than a full-time mecha operator.
"Yes, this style is indeed very similar..." Li Lanfeng seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze was distant.
"Could it be someone from your sect?" Zhao Jun still remembered that Li Lanfeng had said that perfect mastery of basic controls was a hard-and-fast rule of their sect, so he joked.
Li Lanfeng was taken aback at these words, but as if he had been enlightened, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Zhao Jun, you've finally said something useful. Perhaps, that rabbit mecha really does have some connection to my sect."
