Sleepwalking Gale has heard of it, and it is the highest-grossing online game under the cross-star group Fantasy Universe (hereinafter referred to as Qiyu) Co., Ltd. in the whole universe, and there are agents operating and maintaining it in almost every galaxy and every country. Sleepwalking in the Sky (later referred to as Mengtian) is a mecha game, which can modify mecha and use mecha to fight, and it includes more than 90% of the mecha in the universe, whether it is the rampaging X series mecha that was popular during the founding of the Eastern Shenwu Empire, or the latest falling A series mecha in the current Star Alliance, as long as the mecha that has appeared on the battlefield, Mengtian's game database has all of them. Although even a large company like Qiyu cannot obtain the core data of the relevant mechas, which are the highest national secrets, the so-called money is easy to do, on the basis of the observation videos of galaxy satellites of various sizes and scales in the universe, and through the observation, demonstration and analysis of thousands of high-end mecha data analysts in Qiyu, you can get the various performance values and characteristics currently shown by its observation mechas. Therefore, although the operating system used in the game mecha is a general-purpose mecha system designed by Qiyu Group, the performance and efficacy of the mecha externally have a high degree of realism. When Mengtian was just released for public beta, the slogan was "the most realistic machine combat game in history", which attracted countless mecha enthusiasts, and I heard that in some military schools with no conditions and lack of equipment, some mecha courses were completed in Mengtian.

Although the realism of the mecha is claimed to be the highest in the industry, according to Gail's estimate, it is only about 75%, and there is a big difference between operating the mecha in the network by connecting to the brain and fighting with real guns and ammunition. Those so-called masters on the Mengtian Machine Battle Heaven List, if you throw him directly into the mecha and let him fight, he may be so frightened that he will directly spill urine in his pants and collapse directly in the mecha operation compartment. Machine warfare, technology, mentality, and physical fitness, all three are indispensable. This is what his father, Lord Renault, the third super A-level mecha master in the empire, once warned him.

"Then let's have a battle in the sleepwalking machine. Gail was curious to see how Li Dong learned mecha modification and machine combat skills in online games.

"Well, it's boring to stay in an interstellar ship anyway, so I'll be merciful and instruct you, a little rookie. In a lazy tone, Li Dong shamelessly boasted to himself.

After taking the two simple brain helmets, the two of them connected to the server of the Sleepwalking Tiandong Empire at the same time. Entering the account input item, Li Dong saw that Gail was creating a new account, and also created a new account, and then created a character named "Glorious Negative Assets". And XCMG created a character with his real name.

The two met to enter the gladiatorial arena.

In the gladiatorial arena of Mengtian, ordinary machine battles are visible to everyone, and only after using certain items can the visible options of many players be isolated. When players in the gladiatorial arena or in the game or watching the battle saw the two early rookies enter the room for a battle, they didn't pay much attention, because the battle between this kind of rookie is really many, and there is no technical ornamentation at all.

Let's say that Li Dong and Gail entered the room and began to choose their respective mechs. The options available for the Junior are very limited, and they are the first series in the history of mecha to become famous.

Gail chose the rampaging X99, the last and most classic one of the rampaging X series mecha independently developed and produced during the founding of the Eastern Empire, the humanoid mecha, mainly using light and strong titanium alloy as the main material, equipped with a shoulder-mounted long-range laser cannon, in addition to the chest 3-tube metal warhead launch hole, while focusing on long-range firepower, the melee movement dodge ability is also very good, and the chainsaw alloy sword can ignore the laser defense of the protective shield and easily cut through the vast majority of mecha shells.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Star Alliance, an experimental mecha jointly developed by various countries, the beast Z01, and the beast mecha of the same era as X99, the main material was also the popular titanium alloy at that time, and the key parts of the limbs and claws spared no effort to use expensive radium titanium steel.

In the colosseum room, a fat man among the several idle players shook his head when he saw this, pointed to Z01 and said to the person next to him, "This guy is a typical nouveau riche choice. ”

The people on the side were puzzled: "Why? This is produced by the Star Alliance, and there is also radium titanium steel with super mechanical properties on it."

"You're just like him, just seeing how expensive this mech is and how well-known the manufacturer is, but ignoring its shortcomings. The fat man sighed in disappointment, "It's a newcomer!"

"Boss, then you can explain it to me. With that, the newcomer took out a pack of cigarettes and lit it for the fat man.

The sleepwalking game not only has an organic battle link, but also includes food, clothing, housing and transportation, and some players directly play it as a business game. So, it's not surprising that a retro cigarette from Earth, the ancient home planet, appears in the game.

Besides, the fat player, took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled intoxicatedly, and said happily: "Seeing that you are so good, I will explain it to you." At that time, this mecha was not adapted to the operation mode of the beast-type mecha on all fours, and used radium titanium steel, which was also a low-yield and sky-high material for the Star Alliance at that time, and at the same time, this mecha that was completely inclined to melee combat was equipped with the X-burst mine that only mine-laying vehicles have, which not only did not improve the corresponding firepower output, but made the medium-power X-burst mine a chicken rib. Therefore, the beast Z01 was rated as one of the least cost-effective mecha in the industry, and the subsequent development was stopped after only the first generation was developed. ”

"You know so much, boss!" said the newcomer in adoration.

The fat player waved his hand proudly: "That's it, mecha, there's no end to learning, let's learn hard." Let's see how these two rookies move their mechs. ”

Gail couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that Li Dong had chosen the beastly Z01 with a flood of bad reviews: "Comrade-in-arms, your taste is really unique!"

"Each other, comrades-in-arms, you are really a die-hard loyalist, you almost didn't stab the four bloody words 'loyal to the country' on the back!" Li Dong arched his hand.

Gail, who was familiar with his inferior roots, ignored it and went straight into the mecha operation compartment. Li Dong saw that this kid had entered the battle state so quickly, and he also quickly climbed into the mecha.

The two chose the random terrain mode, and the scene changed, and the white room became a space made of countless cubes stacked irregularly.

"Matrix Rubik's Cube!" exclaimed the idle fat man on the side.

"The Matrix Rubik's Cube is just one of the more remote terrains in the Dream Game that can be randomly followed with a probability. The fat man continued to explain to the newcomer on the side, "The whole field is composed of tens of thousands of cubes stacked at different angles. You see, some of the cubes and cubes are only shallow and shallow together, and they will fall down when touched, while some are really firmly compatible together, and some cubes have a corner directly embedded in another cube. Generally speaking, this battle terrain is like a big ice hole, and the mecha walks on it, maybe the foot will fall directly into the gap of the cube when it hits the point, and it can't climb up. Therefore, every step must be cautious and trembling. The terrain is a disadvantage for melee mechs who win with speed, and for ranged mechs who don't need to make much of a move while standing, they just pull the trigger, and this is a natural fortification. ”

Li Dong recognized this terrain, although he had only heard of it in Mengtian.

"Let's change the terrain. Gail didn't want to take advantage of Li Dong, although he hadn't played Mengtian, but after looking at it with a purely military eye, he analyzed what this terrain meant to both sides of the war.

Although Li Dong has never played this terrain, he has already played Mengtian, which has already taken advantage to a certain extent. It's his nature to take advantage, but it also depends on the object, an honest person like Gail, Li Dong is really embarrassed to start.

"Don't worry, I'll solve you in 10 minutes!" Li Dong said unashamedly.

Gail laughed when he heard this, "Oh, so confident. I would like to explain in advance that the operating system inside this mecha is very similar to what I have used before, so there are no operational problems. ”

"That's for the best. Let's bet that whoever loses will be treated to dinner. ”

"Good!"

Gail didn't say much, carrying a laser cannon 3 meters in front of Li Dong's fuselage, and this machine battle officially began.

"Cut, the protective shield is not opened, I bet that this beastly Z01 was destroyed by the X99 of the Eastern Empire in one shot. The fat man disdainfully said to the newcomer on the side.

At this time, there is a gentleman's opening cannon, the laser cannon of this mecha can only be charged for half a minute after 7 consecutive shots, and if you want me to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, I will bombard it in seven consecutive rounds without opening the protective shield. Li Dong disagreed with Gale's spirit of pilot, but secretly appreciated his kindness.

The Z01 driven by Li Dong did not care about the terrain, no matter how big or small the gap he encountered, he swept directly with his hind limbs, drove full horsepower, stretched his strong and powerful limbs, and rushed towards Gael's X99 in a zigzag wave.
