Chapter 63: Chapter 62

But of course, the three girls were not dressed like such. However, their loose-fitting pajamas could easily be seen through.

“Qingqing, I think it would be best for you to be more concerned about yourself. Don’t waste your youth!”

“Ah, the two of you. I can’t believe you actually changed the subject to be about me instead. I am saving my virginity for the special one.”

Ye Zisu and An Mei simultaneously sneered at Du Qingqing.

“Fine, fine! Let me see what’s so different about that person.”

Young Deer and Bubbly Foam had already arrived. The two commentators had had a large increase in popularity. It was something they did not expect, especially Young Deer. Even though he had more “detractors,” it still didn’t change the fact that he had become more popular.

“Hello, everyone. Welcome to our broadcast. Skeleton is finally back online!”

Bubbly Foam was only wearing a small amount of makeup. There were rumors stating that Bubbly Foam was still a student in school and that she picked up commentating because she truly loved CT.

“I’m sure everyone was very satisfied with the last 5 on 5 battle. Skeleton’s experience has shown time and time again and it has attracted the attention of numerous elites and professional players. However, they are currently still quite reserved and are not saying much, but I believe that once Skeleton continues his winning streak, he will eventually be matched up against these players. I can’t wait for that day!”

A look of worship could be seen in Bubbly Foam’ face. Girls loved heroes and miracles.

Uncle Young Deer smiled. “Bubbly Foam, you’re still young, so you are still inexperienced in the ways of the world. Sometimes it’s not good to be too idealistic. For all you know, the one operating Skeleton could be an old, ugly man.”

Before the battle started, the discussion forum had already engaged in a brawl about Young Deer’s damned mouth!

You’re an old man. All of you are old men!

Drag Young Deer out to be executed! How could he try and seduce our Bubbly Foam?!

Long live Skeleton! Death to Young Deer!

It could be seen that Young Deer was very calm even after looking at the comments. This was something he enjoyed seeing. He truly believed that no one was undefeatable!

Regardless of the person or situation, there would always be a weakness. Furthermore, the stronger the person, the greater the weakness!

Losing was just a matter of time.

Wang Zheng knew that many things had to be prepared, and thus he silently waited for the appearance of his rival. As he browsed through a catalog of different mecha, he felt that Chen Xiu’s pamphlet was just incomparable. The information here was just too detailed and robust. It would be wonderful if he could challenge the experts one day.

Perhaps it was due to Bonehead’s influence, but he keenly anticipated getting stronger as the days went by. Being able to train oneself to be able to adapt to any environment and handle any combat machine was his aim as a super soldier!

Currently, mankind’s training focused on specializing each soldier.

Although there were some elite mecha pilots who could pilot every mech, they could only show their highest potential in their specialized mech.

Different mecha operated differently. Most importantly, they had a different feel to them.

For example, the scout type required one to be keen and insightful.

The tank type required one to be have a spirit of sacrifice and to be brave.

The sniper types required one to be tenacious and to be able to disregard everything, such as friends, teammates, and self, all for the sake of victory.

Different people had different personalities. Once they encountered the type of mech they preferred, they would be able to perform at a completely different level. Conversely, they would only be a burden on the team.

Thus, it was as veterans often said: each type of mech has a personality to it.

Wang Zheng’s situation was unique, so it was difficult to find an opponent. His rank and number of games were low. On the other hand, his win rate was extremely high. 100% win rates had to be lowered eventually.

The opponent appeared.

Shadowhunter Lord, Diamond Ranked. Assassin Type Mech Pilot.

Mech: Dark Hunter. Majia Republic’s high end mech.

Shadowhunter Lord was a famous player from the Europe Region. He had a win rate of over 60% with assassin type mechs. Specifically, his win rate with the Dark Hunter was above 70%!

The Majia Republic had specially developed mecha for unique environments. The Dark Hunter was one of the more prominent ones and could even be mass produced. It was developed for fighting in rugged and dark environments.

Thus, he was nicknamed the King of the Night.

During Mankind’s interplanetary expeditions, there were numerous places that were completely dark. One of the earliest places to possess such an environment was the dark side of the moon. Normal mecha were unable to perform very effectively in such an area.

Battleground: Lakato Cave Planet

In the CT community circles, there were some unspoken rules. One of them was never to challenge a Dark Hunter in Lakato.

This planet was found in the Andromeda Galaxy. The temperature on the planet would be at 300 degrees celsius all day. It was completely impossible for humans to live on it. However, as it possessed a large amount of mineral resources, mankind would not let that pass. As they were colonizing the planet, war frequently erupted. In the planet, there was a sprawling underground cave complex as well as the Lakato civilization.

Mankind eventually managed to conquer Lakato, and at the same time, the Milky Way Alliance had gained a new member.

During the period of interplanetary expeditions, the term “alien” had already disappeared, as it seemed slightly childish. This was no more than another civilization.

As of now, Lakato was a famous tourist attraction. On the other hand, that battlefield was also the nightmare of numerous soldiers.

Everyone cautiously awaited Skeleton’s choice of mech. The Lakato Cave Battlefield possessed one of the more extreme terrains. Fighting in such a battlefield required one to pick a mech that could fight in the darkness. Secondly, it required an extremely mobile mech, especially when it came to maneuverability. One wrong move would cause one to be smashed against a wall, instantly killing themselves. Beast type mecha were the preferred choice here.

Wargod No. 1…

Wang Zheng had never hesitated in the choosing of his mech, and this time was no exception. He immediately locked his choice in.

After confirming Skeleton’s mech, Young Deer smiled wryly. “Hello, everyone. Our player Skeleton and player Shadowhunter Lord will engage in a fight very soon. Please tune in to stream number 8753553. Will the Wargod No. 1 be able to achieve victory in Lakato? Let us see it for ourselves.”

After she finished, Uncle Young Deer started to ridicule her. “Bubbly Foam, as a supporter of Skeleton, do you feel like he has any chance of victory?”

Every die hard fan of CT understood what kind of battlefield Lakato was. A cave complex battleground was no different from a maze. The ground was uneven and there were numerous stalactites that were jutting out in every direction. Humanoid mecha were limited in effectiveness here, especially with their limited field of vision.

Every mech possessed night vision capabilities. However, Wargod No. 1 was the simplest of mecha and only possessed the most basic of night vision attachments and was severely limited in this regard. On the flip side, the Dark Hunter possessed the best night vision capabilities as well as tyrannical maneuverability, hence it was known as the King of the Night.

Bubbly Foam smiled. “Nothing is set in stone. Even the last battle seemed impossible.”

“Really? Why don’t we have a bet. If Skeleton loses, can I have the honor of taking you out to dinner as a celebration?”

Young Deer smiled. His moustache was carefully maintained and was extremely uniform. When he smiled, it opened up like a pair of wings and looked extremely funny.

The discussion forum erupted once again.

“Old Deer! Your mom is asking you to go home for dinner!”

“Celebrate your head! It’s just a diamond ranked player. Why don’t you bet your life instead?!”

“Skeleton God! He’s heaven-defying and unequalled!”

With regards to such comments, Young Deer couldn’t help but laugh at them. Didn’t these ignorant fans know that their dream would end one day?

At this point in time, Bubbly Foam suddenly paused before saying, “Everyone in the audience, I’m sorry, but I have just received an emergency message. The account Shadowhunter Lord is being used by another individual. The person is Shadowhunter Lord’s master. He is a diamond ranked player of the Europe Region. He was the number one player with the Dark Hunter for 5 consecutive months. He’s Qiangsen Duoma. ID: Dark Lord.”

What kind of situation was this?

Although substitutions would occasionally happen, the fact that it happened on broadcast made the situation just seem ridiculous!

It was obvious that Shadowhunter Lord did not expect to be matchmade with another player. Furthermore, at that moment, his master was sitting right next to him, excited by his own memories of the past.

This was the first battle after Wild King that he encountered another diamond ranked player.

This Qiangsen was the king of unorthodox combat, specializing specifically in dark environments.

In the Europe Region, if anyone encountered him in such a battleground, even if they were a diamond player, they would usually surrender immediately to prevent themselves from being abused.

This person possessed a dark and sadistic heart.

“We should interview Skeleton to get his opinion,” Bubbly Foam said.

To Wang Zheng, Passerby A and Passerby B were no different from each other.

After a brief moment, the broadcast continued. CT’s support team had become even busier after this small interruption.

The number of viewers swiftly rose. Battles between experts would always create a show, and this battle was completely different from previous battles. Specific environments would suppress different mecha in different ways. Without even comparing with the Wargod No. 1, even if it was a better pilot, some mecha would still perform terribly in this cave complex.

Wargod No. 1 VS Dark Hunter. 5 Minutes to showdown.

The official website spared no cost to advertise this match. At the same time, on Mars’ and the Moon’s official CT websites, a similar advertisement also showed. Although it was not headlining, it was rare for a match on Earth to be shown in the other two regions. This only happened when the match was exceptionally exciting.

It had also attracted the attention of a portion of fans on the Moon and on Mars. Being able to see the standard of Earth’s players was something extremely interesting.

What was most interesting was that the match that was being broadcasted was a low level one. This only served to pique everyone’s interest further.

There were numerous reasons to watch the broadcast. Not only was Skeleton on a nine win streak, he was also the main actor in Lin Huiyin’s MV.

This was what truly attracted everyone’s attention.

However, the moment the viewers saw the mecha that was being used, those with a bit of knowledge started to make noise.

Was this some kind of f**king show?

A performance competition?

Some people felt depressed while others regretted it. However, the money had already been spent, and if they didn’t watch the broadcast, their money would have been wasted. Perhaps they would be able to enjoy the music before the match started. Plus, that broadcaster, Bubbly Foam, was very pretty…

However, those who were more attentive noticed the number of viewers.

… 524587 viewers…

This was the number of viewers?

Was there something wrong?

Did these viewers on Earth have some sort of problem? Why were there so many people watching such a match?

The number of viewers at the start of this match matched the peak number of viewers during the last match. Although there wasn’t any announcement made, the enthusiasm of the fans could not be controlled.

It has to be known that many high level competitions are announced at least a week in advance.

Qiangsen had already finished his preparations. Skeleton’s appearance had already attracted the attention of numerous high level players. This bastard had caused them to lose a lot of face. The discussion of Skeleton among high level players had increased more and more. Yet because of their positions, they did not wish to demean themselves by challenging him directly. Furthermore, with the matchmaker, the opponent’s rank was very low and it was unlikely that they would be able to fight.

Thus, this opportunity was god-given. At this point in time, there was no need to hide one’s identity. He was trying to tell everyone that he was Qiangsen Duoma, the King in the Dark!
