Chapter 76: Chapter 75

Ever since Yan Xiaosu was young, he had always admired Wang Zheng, perhaps due to his excellent school work. This resulted in him believing Wang Zheng could achieve something big. But as time passed, reality sunk in. The genetic test scores had indeed impacted the both of them. Although it was not entirely crippling, it had destroyed the dream they once had.

But God was a good director. When Wang Zheng hit the lowest point of his life, Aina appeared. Not only that, during military training and the intense competition, lady luck was always in Wang Zheng’s favor. Although it seemed to be just a stroke of luck, Yan Xiaosu was convinced that an inexplicable strength was growing inside of him.

But none of it mattered when Wang Zheng’s real identity was revealed. It was absolutely shocking. Winning or losing a single game did not have any impact anymore because what mattered the most was the display of his strength.

Perhaps this illusion was not really an illusion after all.

Wang Zheng was not surprised that Aina had left hurriedly and quietly. And as a matter of fact, he wasn’t feeling down in these past couple of days. On the contrary, he was feeling thankful. Because in this relationship, Aina was the one contributing and bearing most of the responsibilities.

As a man, to despair and be remorseful was not Wang Zheng’s style. Regardless if there was a future or not, he would work hard and not let anyone belittle him, or else it would be an insult to Aina’s decision of choosing him as her lover.

Yan Xiaosu stared with his eyes wide open. His eyes had never opened so wide before.

Yan Xiaosu covered his mouth in shock when Skeleton’s ID was revealed. Tyrant Su recalled letting Wang Zheng play for the first time. He was there just to fill up the numbers. However, that was when he had signed up with the ID “Skeleton.”

Although he had thought it was a coincidence, in this world, things were bound to happen behind the facade of a coincidence.

Wang Zheng grinned. “If you are surprised at such a small matter, how will you be able to handle bigger tasks in the future?”

“Bigger tasks?” Yan Xiaosu was stunned.

“Sometimes, even though something only has a one percent or less chance of happening, giving your best shot might allow you to achieve 100 percent of the results.”

Wang Zheng laughed. He was powerful, and perhaps there was someone out there who was stronger than him, but he was not afraid!

Yan Xiaosu scratched his head. “Boss, can we converse in simpler and more straightforward terms?”

“Originally, the battles were just for fun. But now there seems to be a way to earn our capital back. I will let you negotiate with CT regarding future compensation. This is your forte.”

“F**k, why haven’t I thought about it? I am so stupid!” Yan Xiaosu smacked his own head. He immediately came up with lots of ideas when money was mentioned.

This would definitely bring in huge revenue!

As long as Wang Zheng kept winning, they would be rich!

It looked as though the situation with Aina had provoked and motivated Wang Zheng. It was just that Yan Xiaosu had a different train of thought about it.

“This is only on one condition: keep it a secret. I do not wish for this to affect my school activities,” Wang Zheng said.

Yan Xiaosu raised his arm and pressed his finger to his lips. “Relax, Boss, your decision is rather brilliant. Being a CT superstar in military school is not necessarily a good thing either.”

In the military school, there was a large group of people who opposed the idea of these unsavory activities. Of course, they supported the idea on the surface, but as their power got stronger and stronger, their ability to influence the outcome became greater.

Skeleton Corp’s Internal Military Affairs.

The addition of a new member had caused a huge commotion. He was the opponent of the last battle, also known as the King of Darkness, Qiangsen Duoma. People who knew Qiangsen Duoma’s story gained even more respect for what he had done.

No one expected Qiangsen to join the corp. Ever since Rainbow had joined, people seemed to have their own unique stories to tell. This made the members of Skeleton military corp brim with liveliness and happiness.

It was Qiangsen’s first appearance ever since he joined the Skeleton military corp. He mainly came because he thought Skeleton would turn up too. However, Skeleton was nowhere to be found. In a matter of minutes, he was surrounded by the members, and an endless amount of praise and worship streamed in.

Although he was the loser, Qiangsen had won numerous amounts of respect from the people. His performance in the battle had reached an extreme level. Not to mention the fact that he was physically impaired, he had amblyopia.

Rainbow appeared. He knew what happened to Qiangsen. Based on his investigation, Qiangsen was a highly skilled fighter from the special forces. In that particular mission, he was responsible for bringing up the rear, but an accident happened. This had left him with an incurable injury

In Rainbow’s opinion, it was not impossible to heal the injury. It was just that the cost was too expensive, and the bureaucratic nonsense for medical claims had not been changed since ancient times. However, most importantly, no matter the outcome, Qiangsen’s determination was unflinching, and he continued to persevere.

As a soldier, Rainbow was in utter admiration of Qiangsen’s determination.

The world was unfair. Complaints and cowardice were signs of weakness.

“Qiangsen, tell us more about your battle experience and your feelings about it. Among all of us, you were the closest to victory,” Rainbow said.

Below, someone talked to Qiangsen about Rainbow’s situation.

Qiangsen grinned. Unlike Qiangsen, Rainbow was the representative of the new generation.

“When the battle was over, I spent the whole night thinking. In all honesty, I probably had a few chances to turn the tide of the battle. If I had grabbed onto one of the chances, I would have probably won the battle,” Qiangsen said.

People were having discussions below once he finished. In that battle, Qiangsen indeed tried to suppress Skeleton and maintain dominance in the situation. However, the superiority Skeleton possessed was clear.

“But in the morning, when my mind was sober, I knew that from the beginning till the end, I had not a single chance.”

Qiangsen laughed.

Skeleton’s military corp had more than 50,000 members. It felt more like a chat group than a clan. It did not matter to Chen Xiu because they had no other purpose.

Qiangsen’s words silenced everyone. On the battlefield, Qiangsen controlled the situation very well. Even the best Wargod No. 1 pilot could barely withstand his assault. If not for the terrain, he would be finished.

Chen Xiu then asked a question on behalf of everyone as Qiangsen laughed and replied, “Rainbow, when it comes to this, you should be able to understand.”

The loss was attributed to the map. Rainbow nodded. “I can understand why, but I still can’t believe it. I’m sorry, but I went to investigate your profile and found out that in dark environments, CT can bring forth 90% of your true strength. I can’t believe that such a person exists.”

Qiangsen laughed. “I can’t believe it myself, that is why I came.”

“Red Cabbage Sister, stop trying to be so profound. Say something that all of us can understand!” Yao Ailun shouted.

“Yeah, you don’t have to be profound, because we don’t understand either!”

“In the end what happened? Who doesn’t exist?”

Rainbow wryly smiled. “It requires strict and rigorous training to be able to adapt to the dark environment. I repeatedly studied the fighting procedures and had some doubts about it. In the beginning, Wargod No. 1’s movements were not coherent, indicating that Skeleton was not used to such an environment. Even if it was his first time, he adapted to it rather quickly. This shows that he had previously undergone training in this aspect, or perhaps he is just talented.”

Qiangsen shook his head. “He was definitely well trained. No matter how talented one can be, he or she has to go through some sort of training to bring forth their full potential in darkness. Though blindness, my heart is transparent. In fact, when I was in the dark, I was able to exert 110% of my strength. But a man with good eyes will not achieve the same result I had when facing the darkness.”

The military corp’s activity area was full of people. They were all fascinated by the discussion.

“So what’s your conclusion?” Chen Xiu asked.

Rainbow smiled. “It is precisely because we can’t come up with a conclusion that we are so obsessed with identifying this pilot. He, who is able to fulfill the conditions for fighting impeccably in darkness while being able to fight with the best fighters around the world. It is definitely not going to be boring.”

“On Earth, there are only a handful of them who can compete with me. It is impossible to be any of them.” Qiangsen added.

“No, it will not be the few fighters that you mentioned earlier on. Surely everyone remembers the interview with Bubbly Foam. His answer was definitely not that of an older person,” Yao Ailun abruptly said. Student Ailun was extremely passionate about the details.

This kind of deadpan humor seemed to be created by a young kid with an eccentric character.

“I agree with your opinion. During the battle, I realized that he had a strong foundation and reacted very well in actual combat. However, he lacked combat experience. He seemed to be acting like a new fighter, building one’s battle experience,” Qiangsen said.

Rainbow clapped his hands. “I had this feeling too, and that is the scariest part!”

“It’s just that this kind of training is a little extreme. Nevertheless, the Wargod No.1 has a lot of flaws and limitations. Some of the flaws can’t be overcome by his other skills. He is putting himself in a desperate position. He may be brave, but it is a difficult position to be in.”

Qiangsen had mixed feelings towards it.

“That’s right, it may be a form of training. But at the same time, it could also be a form of self reflection. It could possibly be a route to become a God, but it could also be…..”

Yao Ailun said, “But until that day, I will continue to wait for you!”

“Me too!”

“Me too. F*ck it, so what if I’m blindly following? I will just believe in you, and this is how it is!”

“Me too, let Young Deer go to hell!”

“Either live a cowardly life, or fight for all of eternity!”

The larger the world, the more people feared the world, and their desire for miracles grew larger and larger.

Why did the human race desire to take risks in this unknown star filled with death? Despite the risk, the adventurers would still risk everything to explore it, because everyone believed and yearned for miracles.

In the Brothers Net Cafe, Yan Xiaosu was just watching on. Yet he did not say a word and just kept waving his fists.

“Boss, you ought to look at this.”

Wang Zheng laughed. “You are competent enough.”

Wang Zheng was not in a rush to find an opponent. In fact, CT had a big capacity to enable various targeted training methods, i.e. shooting, movement, and multiple terrain adaptation. Wang Zheng didn’t mind training in CT, but today was just not suitable for fighting. As Bonehead once said, his heart was not at peace.

Yan Xiaosu had joined the chat. He had found something more fun than fighting. He was accompanying the crowd in their fervor.

With the emergence of high-end mecha, it would be accompanied with various targeted equipment for the pilots.

For example, Wang Zheng had encountered a magnetic storm field in the past, and it had caused him nothing but trouble. However, mecha could now nullify such an attack with special equipment. This was just one of the functions. Not to mention there was also magnetic thunder, and it could harness the potential environmental effects as a weapon. With the addition of these new few features on the high-end mecha, it became more complex to control them; better coordination and higher skill sets were required.

Speaking from a highly skilled pilot’s point of view, the novice level was simply rough and brainless. While at the master level, everyone who was competing to become the king required superior knowledge. This included an ability to take control of the situation, to be knowledgeable about all kinds of weapons, and most importantly, tactical coordination.

For 1 versus 1 matches, the pilot had to be more knowledgeable in terms of mecha and their different kinds of weapons in order to stay ahead of the opponent.

… Student Wang Zheng didn’t give much thought about it. The last time he encountered the magnetic storm, a strange idea occurred to him.

The laser, when fired, if accelerated or run through a force field, would be able to produce a wonderful reaction.
