Chapter 8 Students' Duties
Ivan looked at it with a light in his eyes, and couldn't wait to get into it - although it was a bargain sent when he landed, it was also a mecha after all, and it was enough to drive it into the simulated battlefield and walk around.
After entering the cab, he froze for a few seconds before suddenly remembering that he had zero driving experience, not to mention how to operate, and he couldn't even start.
Luckily, although Evan doesn't understand anything, Noah has the function of mentoring newcomers. Under the explanation and demonstration of this artificial intelligence lady, he gradually mastered the operation skills of the individual mecha through a little attempt.
Unlike the harsh driving conditions of the Shenyuan mecha, operating this rudimentary mecha is similar to driving a car, as long as you are proficient. However, due to performance limitations, it is not suitable for mechanics above the second level.
Forward, backward, look up, turn, slow, sprint, sprint......
Ivan piloted a tracked mech to practice in the 'beginner's room', and gradually mastered his movements, and in just one hour, he grew from a toddler baby to a nimble adult.
"Almost, the potential of a junior mecha is limited, and if it is developed to my level, it is already considered a journeyman. β
He stopped the operation, looked up at Noah, who had been smiling gracefully, and shouted eagerly:
"Little sister, arrange it, I'm going to the battlefield area!"
"Due to the limitations of the mech's performance, you can only participate in terrestrial combat operations on terrestrial planets. Please select the battle mode: 1 Landing Battle, 2 Pursuit Battle, 3 Annihilation Battle, 4 Defending Battle, 5 Siege Battle......"
"I'm going to attack the city!"
He did not hesitate to choose siege warfare.
"Siege Mode ......"
"Information Link ......"
"Landing Battlefield ......"
Noah's beautiful figure seemed to disappear into the water, gradually blurring, and a huge moon slowly rose in the white room. Moonlight poured in from the sky, changing the structure of the entire space with the unstoppable force of the rolling tide.
The entire novice room was shrouded in the cold moonlight, and the pale color gradually diluted, as if the windows had been washed away by the rain, revealing the huge city that was under fire outside. Eventually, even the "window" itself was gone, leaving Ivan alone in the midst of a fire-filled battlefield.
......
The dark shadow of the city was cast on the charred ground, and Ivan looked at the dilapidated city wall in front of him, and found that a gap had been broken in front of him, and under the cover of dense artillery fire, dozens of tracked individual combat mechs were advancing rapidly against the smoke of gunpowder.
"Private Evan!"
At this moment, there was a sudden anxious shout from the communicator.
"In!"
He hurriedly substituted for the role mode of a soldier.
"Our squad is responsible for feintifying the breach in the city, attracting enemy fire, and preparing to charge at my command!" the voice in the communicator ordered.
At the same time, the screen in his cab showed the offensive line, as well as the lives of his comrades around him.
"Yes, sir!"
Evan suddenly boiled with blood, looked at the battlefield filled with fire in front of him, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and let out a low roar of excitement.
"Charge!"
As soon as the officer in the communicator gave the order, he immediately rushed out of the trench with his comrades, carrying heavy machinery and strafing while shouting and rushing towards the gap in the city wall.
Boom Boom Boom ββ!
As their squad advanced, they opened fire on the city, and the walls were filled with fire and fog.
β......β
At this time, Ivan calmed down, and while keeping shooting, he carefully observed the surrounding battle situation, for fear that he would be shot cold by the enemy or die from the fragments of the shell.
Whooshββ!
Accompanied by a narrow parabola, a grenade was dropped far from the sky.
The corner of his eye swept to this scene, and he sneered in his heart, and immediately drove the mecha forward quickly, and at the same time activated the laser cannon, calculating the trajectory of the cannonball's fall, and launched an artillery attack in an instant.
Wowββ!
A straight scarlet ray streaked across the sky, striking the falling cannonball and igniting it.
Rumbleββ!
With a violent explosion, the pitch-black fire mist instantly stirred into the sky, and Ivan quickly manipulated the mechanical arm to protect the cockpit.
Phewββ!
The next moment, he only felt a scorching heat overwhelmingly, and his vision suddenly went black, and then a line of blood-red federal text appeared in the void - the character died, and the game was over.
"I'm dead!?"
Evan was stunned.
The light in the space quickly returned to brightness, but the battlefield filled with gunsmoke faded in the process, and reverted to an empty white room, and Noah's bright figure floated into the pillar of light.
"How did I die? Didn't I intercept that shell?" he asked, angrily.
"The damage of the blast minus the defense of the mech is greater than your health, so the system determines that your character is dead. β
"It's as brittle as paper...... Why is my defense so low!?"
"The defense coefficient of the tracked individual combat mecha is the lowest in the whole system. β
"I'm going to change my mech!"
"You can exchange merit points for mechs. β
Noah stretched out his hand to touch the void, and between the staggered light and shadow, blurred images of mecha suddenly appeared, and the price of each one was marked below, ranging from 500 to 100,000.
Evan hurriedly checked his merit points and found that the amount was zero, so he helplessly stroked his forehead with one hand:
"How can I get to the merit point?"
"1 Kill a designated target, 2 Complete a combat mission, 3 Sweepstakes, 4 bonds to recharge, 5 Mecha Pro League rewards. β
"Spicy Chicken Game!"
When he heard this, his nose almost crooked - it was obviously a mecha simulation system, but he actually wanted to charge money with kryptonite, could it be more shameless?
......
After calming down, Ivan knew that he couldn't abandon the pit obediently exited the landing capsule and checked the merit point strategy.
I found that although "Age of Machine Wars" is a kryptonite game, it is not difficult to earn merit points, and there are many tricks in the strategy to earn merit points, in addition to completing combat missions, killing designated targets, these more tiring traditional methods. There are also a lot of metaphysics about the lottery pool, and it is said that there are really lucky people who use these metaphysics to draw virtual Shenyuan mechas.
In the process of flipping through the strategy, Evan also learned that the credits of the original Pure Shield can be directly exchanged for merit points, and the ratio is extremely high. It can be said that a student with ordinary grades here can be compared to a kryptonite boss who spends a lot of money in the outside world.
More importantly, students who have reached the second-level level of mental strength and maintained a progressive trend for a long time will be rewarded with specific credits.
At this point, he was relieved - he could brush up merit points by studying with peace of mind, which is what a simulated machine combat system should look like!
