96. Chapter 91
Combat platforms are also called virtual platforms, and although they are most commonly used by combat students, it does not mean that students from other departments cannot use them.
Because the real-life situation is simulated as much as possible, the weapons and mechs in the battle platform will also be damaged, and some commonly used potions can also be used, so the battle platform encourages all students to participate.
Si Nian also used to sell potions on the battle platform, but because the operation method was almost the same as in reality, the income obtained was not as high as in reality, so he quickly gave up this way of earning points.
Of course, for a person like Si Nian, who is not short of raw materials, the combat platform is a little chicken, but for other students, it is a rare and good place.
Because of the lack of raw materials required for various synthetic potions, it is a very good way to practice.
Brothers David and Jim have a soft spot for virtual platforms.
Compared with many students from prominent families in the academy, the two of them basically belong to the ranks of civilians, so the two who can't afford to buy potion materials will more often choose to practice the steps and techniques in the platform first, and then operate them in reality.
In the virtual platform, just conducting simulation exercises will of course seem boring, and as men, the two of them naturally have the desire to operate mecha to fight on the battlefield.
Well, it's just a wish.
The physique of the two people is very average, even if they participated in the Sijia Martial Arts Gym, they were only barely promoted to the C+ physique, which is naturally not bad among ordinary people, but when they are put in the combat department, it is not enough to see at all.
David and Jim also tried to control the mech, but as soon as they let the mech move, they became dizzy and nauseous, and finally had to give up.
Although this wish could not be realized, the love of the two for mecha has not been eroded. It is even more common to take time to watch the mecha competition in the middle of refining medicine.
probably watched a lot, and they were not lost to professional judges in terms of vision, so the two of them also got a job as a game commentator in addition to refining potions.
On this day, they entered the virtual world as usual, and after completing the latest potion preparation, the two returned to the official battle platform.
There are no commentators for today, but for enthusiasts, watching an intense mech duel is a wonderful treat in itself.
This time they opted for a 2vs2 group matchup.
On one side is the "peak team" that has been established for a long time and has medium to high strength, and on the other side it seems to be a team that has just been formed, called the "Youth League".
Just listening to the name, I felt that the "Youth League" was weak, and coupled with the zero combat record, almost no one thought that they had any hope of winning.
Of course, Brother David thought so, so they also bet on the pinnacle team with one hundred star coins.
The first to appear were the two people of the peak team, probably because they didn't value the little-known team of the Youth League, and the peak team only sent their own ordinary team members, that is, the strength of the whole team was relatively average.
Both of them are third-year combat students, and their abilities are actually quite good, but due to grade restrictions, their physical fitness and combat skills can't keep up with the senior students, so they have to be reduced to a less conspicuous storage in the team.
This is very common in large teams, after all, the improvement of experience and fitness plays a crucial role in the improvement of overall strength over time.
As for the Youth League, because both of them are anonymous, outsiders don't know what the situation of these two people is.
In order to determine the fairness of the game, the competition venue was immediately drawn to the bath, and the mecha of the two sides were also selected of the same level.
The mechs on the Pinnacle Squad's side are the more classic A3000 and A5000, both of which were developed by the same company, because the latter is an upgraded version of the former, and even the colors are basically the same, with only minor differences in details.
On the other side, the difference between the mecha drawn by the Youth League is relatively large.
One is the older Tiger, and the other is the newer Cheetah.
Although it is also named after an animal, the Tiger is an old model from ten years ago, and it is not as fast as the mechs that came after it in terms of speed, agility, and sturdiness. The Cheetah mecha is completely different, its super performance and agile control make it far behind similar mecha produced at the same time.
If the two mecha of the A series are classic models with high cost performance, then the Cheetah is the latest flagship model produced, and the Tiger is an outdated model that has long been eliminated from the market.
As far as the overall situation of the mecha on both sides is concerned, there is little difference, but in real terms, it is actually the models of the A series that take advantage of a certain advantage.
You know, this is a team competition, and you can't just rely on your individual super performance to win the game.
Drawing such a model, whether the opponent concentrates firepower to solve the tiger or the cheetah first, it may have a crucial impact on the victory of the game.
After all, although the A-series model is a little worse than the Cheetah, it is not very different, on the contrary, it is more than a little stronger than the Tiger. In a situation like this, unless the Youth League has the strength to crush the peak squad, the result can be said to be doomed.
Is it possible for the Youth League to have such strength?
David and Jim don't think so.
The game did not start immediately after the players of both teams came on the field.
Because everyone has a different habit of using mechs, it is common to give a few minutes to get used to the mechs in this kind of competition.
The situation on the Peak Squad's side is very normal, running, jumping, kicking...... Works properly and moves smoothly.
On the other hand, on the side of the Youth League, there is a strange scene that is ridiculous.
The rider in the Tiger stood silently to the side, watching his teammates staggering back and forth. Occasionally, when the other party seems to be falling, he will quickly reach out to help him and save the other party in danger.
David couldn't bear to look at it and turned his head, only to find that there were many people in the audience who made the same action as him, and it seemed that he was not the only one who felt that such a scene could not bear to look at directly.
He looked at his brother Jim, who was sitting next to him, and the other shrugged, and it seemed that the two were on the same page.
If it weren't for the fact that each game also costs points to watch, the two would probably have gotten up and left there at this time. After all, a game with completely unequal strengths and the outcome already known before the game is really a bit boring for the two brothers who are looking forward to seeing a bloody battle.
I don't know if I got a little used to the operation of the "Cheetah", and the movements of the "Cheetah" gradually became smoother.
Of course, the audience will not think that there will be a big reversal in the ending of this game because of this, they just sigh that they should not have to worry about the "Cheetah" and other things being eliminated because of a fall.
When the bell rang for the race, the two sides were already in their places, and when they heard this sound, the A3000 and A5000 quickly flew towards the Tiger, completely ignoring the meaning of the "Cheetah".
And the fighter on "Cheetah" was indeed quite sluggish as everyone expected, and by the time he was ready to start, his opponent was already standing in front of the Tiger.
Of course, the Tiger is not a soft egg to be slaughtered, and compared to his teammates, the players on the Tiger seem to have stronger strength.
He reacted quite quickly, and almost when the opponent had just started, he adjusted his movements, but unfortunately the model of the Tiger was too old, and before he could complete the defensive action, the opponent's mecha was already standing in front of him.
Even so, the Tiger did not show the slightest flustery.
He made a squat to dodge the A3000's punch, followed by a sideways roll that successfully dodged the A5000's oncoming kick.
The operation of the Tiger is very simple, without any mud and water, and it can almost be called a model of operation of the Tiger model.
Seeing this, the audience sighed, and almost everyone sighed that this player was unlucky, if he and his teammates were replaced, this game may not have no chance of winning.
Unfortunately, things often don't go as planned, especially if the system is randomly assigned.
The long-overdue Cheetah finally arrived at the center of the dispute, at this time, although it still showed a slow reaction speed of half a beat, but whether it was walking or running and jumping, it had stabilized, which made many viewers who were not optimistic about this mecha pilot have a little change in their opinion of it, it seems that this player's learning ability is not bad, and it is not as useless as at the beginning.
Although the arrival of the cheetah helped the Tiger to a certain extent, it did not change the situation of the game after all.
Just when everyone thought that the pinnacle team would definitely win the game, it was nothing more than the length of time, the Tiger suddenly flicked its tail and successfully pulled the A3000 away from its side.
As animal series mechas, although they are also humanoid, they tend to have a little more settings with animal characteristics.
The tail of the Tiger was a very representative design of the time.
This tail not only makes the mech more balanced and stable, but can also be used as a weapon at the right time. However, this model is so old that few people still remember this feature.
It was precisely because of this negligence that the A3000 was pulled away from the side of the Tiger.
At this moment, the Cheetah, which had not done much on the side, suddenly stepped forward, and after a powerful straight punch and elbow blow, it was a series of high whip legs, and when the A3000 was beaten dizzy, the cheetah made a beautiful roundhouse kick and successfully flipped the A3000 to the ground!
Spectator:......
Is this really the cheetah who couldn't even walk steadily?
