Chapter 7: The First Battle Begins
There are a total of three mechanical beast gladiatorial arenas on Clock Street, two of which are still mainly engaged in robot fighting, and only one is specialized in mechanical beast challenge competitions, and after some consideration, Edward still chose the franchised gladiatorial arena called "Tiger Roar", and reported the cohomology number he had just obtained and the name of his own body.

"Welcome, Atlantis, your match will start in three hours, welcome to watch the game in the waiting area or rest." The AI waiter at the registration port said politely.
And when Edward and Teemo turned, the gladiators standing in line behind them were not so polite.
"You're going to sign up for the Automaton Challenge too?" Glancing at Atlantis, which was as new as a blank sheet of paper beside Edward, and then at Edward's thin figure, the fighter standing behind Edward shook his head disdainfully, "You're completely delaying my game time like this......"
Edward smiled slightly, patted Teemo's shoulder, which was not very good-looking, and ignored it.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have loaded the dissociation cannon in this kind of battle." Edward looked at the fighter with the same contempt, "You'll find out why when you get to the ring." ”
"Stupid, I ......" the fighter was about to say something, but Edward ignored him and walked to the lounge.
"Hey!" The fighter stomped his feet in annoyance, and had to walk to the AI service desk at the urging of the fighters behind him to sign up, "Same tone serial number 50342341!" Smasher! ”
……
……
Across the wall from the open-air AI service desk is the internal studio of the "Tiger Roar" mechanical beast gladiatorial arena, and a slightly chubby strong man walked back to his floating chair and sat back.
"Brain wave scan...... Welcome, Phyllis Boss. The voice of the AI sounded in time, and raised the authority of the floating chair to the highest, and the strong man immediately attached himself to the air, complementing the curved projection canopy overhead.
"I'm going to pick this afternoon's best game, Dylan Jr. [the name of the AI)." Phyllis Brown, the old patron of the "Mechanical Pupil" mechanical shop, the brawny man who had just taunted Edward, ripped off his tie, "There should be a 4 o'clock game that hasn't started yet, right?" ”
"Yes, this is the boutique challenger that has just been screened," Phyllis said as soon as a list appeared on the projection canopy, and Phyllis quickly skimmed through the applicants' profiles with ease, and suddenly stopped when he glanced at the third one.
I've seen this organism...... Glancing at the information on the side, a smile appeared on Phyllis's face, I see.
"That's it, freshly baked Atlantis, haha," Phyllis spun around in the floating chair, "match him with an opponent!" ”
"Sir...... You've chosen a junior fighter, and while I think the fight will be much more entertaining based on your setup, I'd like to warn you that by law, you can't run matchmaking ...... that is sure to cause damage to the challenger itself."
"It's a reminder that I need a manual match, little Dylan, give me permission."
"Warning, you must guarantee the legitimacy and security of this challenge."
"Okay, okay......" Phyllis sipped a cigar and said with a smile, "I'm sure I'll match him with a safe and interesting opponent." ”
It was as if he had seen a steady stream of tipping money coming into his account.
……
……
In the break room, the taunted brawler was arguing with Teemo about whether his robot should carry the dissociation cannon, while Edward watched the mechanical beast AI that appeared again and again in the live projection, trying to figure out their respective combat patterns.
AI is artificial intelligence, and since it is intelligence, they have their own behavior patterns just like humans or their imitation animals, and if they can figure out their respective behavior patterns, Edward will definitely gain quite objective benefits in the future challenges.
In the past few matches, Edward has seen the different styles of the three AIs, the mechanical tiger and the mechanical elephant controlled by AI 1 like to use simple and brutal force to directly crush the opponent's defenses, the mechanical python controlled by AI 2 likes to entangle with the opponent, exhaust the opponent's energy reserves, and then blow up, AI 3 likes to dodge and raid in fast-paced harassment, whether it is a mechanical tiger or a mechanical bird.
According to Edward's common sense as a mechanic, such a gladiatorial arena should not store too much simulated AI, because highly intelligent animal AI consumes extremely system memory, and the owner of the gladiatorial arena, who is essentially a merchant, will definitely take turns to use his AI intelligence in order to make the game more varied and interesting.
In this way, Edward gradually got a little bit of an idea of the opponent he was going to face.
However, at this moment, such a broadcast suddenly sounded.
"Congratulations to Gladiator 'Atlantis', you have been selected as a participant in today's third boutique fight, and your bounty share will be increased by 50%, so be ready to fight...... Congratulations to Gladiator 'Atlantis', you have been selected as a participant in today's third boutique fight, and your bounty share will be increased by 50%, so be ready to fight......"
"Hey! It's not fair! The Smasher's fighter exclaimed, "Why is this newbie allowed to play in the Boutique Tournament?" ”
Lovely Dehua and Teemo's faces became less beautiful together.
Indeed, for novice fighters, the Mecha Challenge is a slim victory, and the Boutique Challenge means stronger opponents and higher bounties, but no matter how high the bounty is, it will not cost more than buying a mech.
"Arthur, retire!" Teemo no longer paid attention to the brainless fighter beside him, but looked at Edward and said anxiously, "If this continues, 'Atlantis' will be scrapped!" ”
However, Edward's silence turned out to be a shake of his head.
He was confident that he wouldn't lose, or rather...... The body is incomplete!
……
……
"Let's invite today's boutique challenger ~~~Art~~~Lanti~~~" The AI commentator's synthesized voice was extremely excited, driving the cheers of countless spectators at the scene, "Today's match will be the first battle of Atlantis, not just the first battle of the machine, but the first battle of the fighters!" ”
"Oh~~~" cheers are even stronger!
In the circular field under the audience, Atlantis slowly walked out of the 3-meter-high door on one side, the outer mecha flowing with a royal blue luster, and the blue eyes flashed with endless battle intent.
Underneath the arena, Edward lay in the parity chamber again, he checked all the data of Atlantis again, took a few deep breaths, and closed his eyes with endless fighting intent.
From this moment on, he emptied his control over his original body, as if he had poured all his soul into Atlantis, and Atlantis's eyes only flickered again, adding a kind of spirituality that was not there at first.
"Hmph, this kid must be wasting time!" The owner of the Smasher sat in the lounge with a sense of frustration, as if he was still struggling with his failure to be chosen, "He's going to lose!" ”
And some of the veteran challengers in the lounge all smiled knowingly, and when they heard the words "Fighter First Fight", they could already be sure that this Atlantis would die.
"You don't want to talk nonsense, okay......" Glancing disdainfully at the owner of the Smasher beside him, Timo sighed, "Arthur......"
"Hey, I think you have a lot of mechanical insights, can you be my special mechanic?" As if suddenly remembering something, the owner of the Smasher said to Teemo with a twinkle in his eyes, "My name is Locks, and my machine is called Smasher. ”
"I'm Teemo, and the answer is goodbye."
On the crowded viewing platform, the boss of the gladiatorial arena, Phyllis, squeezed to the front row with a cigar in his mouth, and looked at the gladiatorial arena with interest...... Hehe.
A novice challenge against an elite automa, he didn't want to miss the scene, even as the owner of the automaton gladiatorial arena, Phyllis didn't often see such an interesting match.
Maybe I should throw an extra Federated Dollar as an incentive for this newbie? It's a pity that this set of 480,000 federal coins mecha is, but it's probably no problem for me to get 300,000 in this game......
"Now there is affection, the second overlord of our 'Tiger Roar' mechanical beast gladiatorial arena!" The AI commentator's synthesized voice became even more excited, and he roared in a roaring voice, "Dylan No. 3~~~K~~~Just~~~!! ”
The 6-meter-high giant gate opposite Atlantis was directly knocked down with a bang!
A ...... The 5-meter-tall behemoth slowly stepped out of the exploding door, hammering its steel lungs frantically with its iron fist!
"Roar!!
"Damn...... This is a foul," Edward cursed with his eyes closed, and in the fighting arena, Atlantis pulled out the dual swords he inserted in his back, and the mid-length light blade immediately opened full fire, releasing a brilliant golden light, and the mechanical sword was directly adjusted to the mid-length mode, and charged it with all his might......
Although Atlantis's endurance will be greatly reduced in this way, Edward is very suspicious that even such a full firepower will not be able to cut the heavy armor of the "giant" on the opponent's body!
After a few run-up moves, Atlantis began to sprint towards King Kong, who was screaming at him!
……
……
In the internal studio of the "Tiger Roar" Automaton's gladiatorial arena, Phyllis's private office, the floating chair still hangs in the air, but the only person who can sit in that chair is now cheering in the audience, and the empty floor space in the studio is occupied by something else.
Is that...... A cohoming cabin.
"So not afraid of death?" In the same cabin, the girl closed her eyes and licked her pink lips, "But...... Uncle Fili told me to play slowly. ”
"It's annoying......"
As if it appeared there out of thin air, Atlantis's front road was instantly locked by King Kong's half-man-tall giant fist!
"You're going to have to hold on a little longer, with my patience...... I'm sure I'll be scolded by Uncle Fili. The girl muttered to herself, "Maybe this is too harsh for newbies?" Ha ha. ”
Caught off guard, Atlantis flew directly into the iron wall on the edge of the gladiatorial arena! And Edward, who was in the same cabin, only felt a sharp pain in his back, and his hands were numb!
Yes, the pain of the fighters and the robot warriors...... It's shared!
