Mysterious journey

Rows of small grids are marked with various words. Among them, the practice matches are free and the most densely packed ones. There are level marks in the spaces at the back of the practice matches, indicating the level of the opponents inside.

‘Please choose to build your own room or join other people’s battle rooms. ’ The mechanical sound sounded again.

As if he had really entered the mecha, Garen casually clicked on a practice match, which was level 1.

‘The competition room enters the mid-field meteorite, it’s summer, the weather is fine’

‘Please wait while data is loading’

In just an instant, Garen saw the ring-shaped visual window in front of him suddenly light up, and the black starry sky was suddenly replaced by a clear blue sky. A huge white planet hung in the sky, emitting a faint white light.

He quickly mobilized his consciousness and entered the consciousness interface to control the mecha.

His mind suddenly became dizzy. He suddenly felt as if he had emerged from the mecha. He suddenly stood on a red ground. The ground was full of craters of different sizes. There was no vegetation. Except for the craters, it was red. The soil, and the surrounding areas in the distance were also barren, with nothing.

The red earth covered with craters seems to stretch to the end of the horizon.

After moving his body, Garen felt as if he was soaked in a very sticky glue, making it difficult to move at all.

He raised his hand with great effort, and then he saw that his hand was actually a red mecha arm. The surface of the mecha glowed with a faint red light, which was the reflection of sunlight.

"Is this consciousness control? It's a powerful simulation technology that's almost as powerful as controlling one's own body in reality!" Gallon sighed in his heart.

"Are you used to it? Can we start?" A faint female voice suddenly came from far away from the other side.

Garen looked up and forward.

On the ground in the distance, standing next to a large pit, was a dark, sturdy mecha. It looked like a muscular giant, more than six meters tall. It was holding a black battle ax in its hand. It looked like a giant. I know that melee combat is very lethal.

Two mechas, one black and one red, were facing each other more than a hundred meters apart. Compared to the other, Garen's mecha looked like an underdeveloped child, extremely thin.

"Let's get started." Garen responded directly after getting used to the rhythm of activities without Crescent Moon.

‘The practice match begins, and the loser is forced to lose 100 general points. ’ The mechanical sound sounded again.

Garen was stunned for a moment. The general point is money. How could he still lose money in this ordinary practice match?

Before he had time to think about it, the black mecha on the opposite side suddenly sprinted towards him, spreading his legs and rushing towards him. He didn't know when he took off the black battle ax in his hand, swung it several times and held it upright in front of him, using it as a shield to block the front.

"Another weakling." Inside the black mecha, Gerdis stared calmly at the red mecha opposite him. Seeing the opponent's slow response in raising the laser gun in his hand, he felt disappointed again.

Only by playing against masters can one become stronger, and Jeldis has always done this. Although there are losses and wins, it would be too boring to win too easily when encountering a rookie.

"The name is good. It's really funny." She glanced at the name above the other person's head. "He was approached by a melee mecha and he didn't know how to run away."

The black mecha quickly approached the red mecha at a very fast speed.

The distance is shortening rapidly.

50 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters.

Bang! !

The black mecha suddenly rolled to the right, and the black battle ax moved forward.

Chi!

Garen could barely raise his laser gun. Although he had already raised his hand when he saw the mecha approaching, his consciousness was too weak, causing his instructions to be fully transmitted to the mecha, which took several seconds. By the time he raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at the opponent, it was already too late.

With a crisp sound, the red mecha was split in half from the shoulders down, and exploded with a roar.

Garen's eyes were filled with confusion. When he came back to his senses, he was already back in the cockpit of the mecha, and the view window outside showed the endless starry sky.

‘The battle is over, loss. The fighting time is 21 seconds. Loss of universal points 100. Current balance 9754’

Sitting in the cockpit, Garen recalled the brief battle just now, and finally understood why Nonosiva couldn't live without Little Crescent Moon.

"Without Crescent Moon's consciousness, it is simply an immovable target. There is at least a five-second delay between when the consciousness issues an instruction and the mecha executes it. Five seconds is enough for any mecha to sprint close and kill itself instantly. Switch to a long-range mecha. I guess one shot will do the trick."

"Looking at the balance of 9754 universal points, where do ordinary students come from such a balance? It must be the money that Nono Siwa originally saved to buy exercises. With his Yueya's cooperation level, even here in the simulation network, if he is more cautious, he He can win more than he loses. He must have saved up this money bit by bit." Garen understood.

I looked through Nonosiwa's previous battle records again.

Sure enough, it was densely packed with recorded videos of each scene, followed by the time and date. After a cursory look through, there were hundreds of games.

"Only when you reach the real first level can you control the mecha and move freely. Otherwise, it will just be a living target standing in place." Garen judged the situation and decisively took out the little crescent moon from his trouser pocket.

Although there were cracks on the top, as soon as he took it out and held it in his hand, Garen suddenly felt a shiver all over his body, as if an electric current suddenly spread through his body.

For a moment, he felt much more relaxed sitting in the mecha.

"try again."

He just randomly selected a level 1 practice room.

Hiss.

‘The competition room enters the mid-field meteorite, it’s summer, the weather is cloudy’

‘Please wait while data is loading’

In the same environment as before, the red earth is full of craters of different sizes. The ground mecha without flight function can only pay attention to the potholes on the ground at all times. Once it falls, the battle is expected to be over quickly.

Garen looked across the distance.

A white humanoid mecha was already standing there, with a slender figure, two half-moon shields on its arms, and two silver scimitars in its hands. It looked extremely beautiful.

"Melee mecha again?" Garen moved his body. This time, his movements were no longer slow, but very smooth.

He shook his hands slightly, and two laser guns suddenly appeared in his hands.

A series of skills and experiences about long-range shooting quickly came to mind.

Although he has always been a master of close combat, he is not completely involved in long-range firearms shooting. He just needs to reverse the experience of dealing with long-range opponents.

"Let's begin." Garen said.

"Okay." came the boy's response from the other side.

‘The practice match begins, and the loser is forced to lose 100 general points. ’ The mechanical sound sounded again.

As soon as the voice fell, the white mecha on the opposite side suddenly sprinted forward. Instead of running with its legs, a stream of blue flames spurted out from behind, and it sprinted straight towards it. Shockingly fast.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Four red laser beams shot out suddenly, hitting the front of the white mecha directly on its head. It was amazing how accurate it was even when it was moving at high speed.

But it's a pity that the white mecha visor is made of something unknown, so it doesn't work at all. When the laser hits it, it only splashes a few tiny red light spots. Totally useless.

Garen raised his two spears and kept moving back to retreat, but the opponent's speed was too fast and was not of the same level at all.

He could only keep changing directions and moving around corners. At the same time, the two-handed laser gun continued to fire.

The red laser is actually not a real laser, but a so-called high-energy beam. This kind of beam also has levels of lethality. The lowest-level firearm like him is probably not worth dozens of weapons against the powerful armored type of the opponent. You can't even try to penetrate the opponent's front armor with a hundred guns.

Garen rolled to avoid the slashes from the two scimitars. In a hurry, he fired two more shots, hitting the opponent's waist hard. Unfortunately, it still had no effect.

His heart trembled, and he suddenly knew that his opponent might be an expensive protective mecha with its own specialties. High-cost mechas can only be enjoyed by those rich second-generation officials and rich people. Coupled with the exclusive training method with special attributes, the combined effect is naturally not something that ordinary mechas can easily break through.

Chichi fired two more shots, accurately hitting the same spot on the waist of the white mecha. It was still useless. No damage could be seen at all. The gap between the lethality and the opponent's armor level was too big.

Even if they are both first-level mechas, there is still such a big enough gap. This is not more about the gap in consciousness, but the mechas that are built out of common points.

"Too weak! Hahaha." A voice came from the opposite mecha, "Why are you such a bad guy? Tell me why you are such a bad guy?" The other party started to mock.

The scimitar suddenly accelerated, drawing two silver lines cutting towards Garen.

The blue flames behind the white mecha exploded suddenly, making a muffled sound, and a burst of huge force instantly erupted, sending it flying straight towards Galleon.

A white line flashed across, and the white mecha suddenly rushed past the side of the red mecha. The two silver lines brought by the scimitar instantly cut off half of Garon's waist and torso, and almost cut the red mecha into two pieces. A burst of fine sparks flashed out from the waist of the red mecha.

The white mecha turned around, lit up blue flames behind it again, and rushed towards the opponent. But he found that the red mecha actually ran some distance away.

"Still running? Go to hell!! You idiot!"

A large amount of blue flames suddenly erupted behind the white mecha, and it rushed forward with a roar, and its speed was even faster.

At this moment, Garen turned slightly to the side. He actually narrowly avoided the white mecha's sprint and passed quickly past him.

"Uh" The white mecha was stunned.

Not only that, Garen directly raised his foot and kicked forward hard.

Bang!

The huge leg power and the instantaneous explosive power of the blue flame thrusters were superimposed, and there happened to be a large meteorite crater in front of it.

The white mecha slammed into the pit without any suspense.

Two laser beams chased after him and shot accurately from the blue flame jet port on the back of the white mecha, causing an explosion immediately, blowing the propeller into pieces with a bang.
