Chapter 71: Mecha Pilot

Three years later.

On the day he was 18 years old, Merlin had mastered all his spells and incorporated them into his staff.

He originally thought that finding Dragon Island would be a very simple matter, but he didn't expect that there had been no progress at all in three years.

At the same time, he also went to the Jackie Chan Adventures world several times in the past three years and discovered some incredible things.

Time!

Every world has a different rate of time!

For example, Merlin spent three years in Norland, but Jackie Chan's Adventures was actually only three months, or less.

At the same time, Merlin spent two months in Jackie Chan's adventures, but returned to Norland just two months later!

Merlin speculated that time might be anchored by him personally, or with people, and that the time he felt was real time.

If he hadn't been involved in other worlds, time would have moved at the speed of the world's original time.

Of course, this is just his personal speculation, after all, he is the only one who can cross.

At the same time, because of his new understanding of time, Merlin also upgraded the only time element spell he mastered to a higher level.

Retardation was originally a special basic spell, but now it can be called a high-level spell.

Originally, it could only be a target that did not exceed Merlin's too much in the realm of sluggishness, but now the sluggish target only depends on the mana output of Merlin, and the more mana output, the longer the sluggish time.

This sends him a signal that spells can be boosted and basic spells can become more useful.

Merlin believed that one day this spell would be able to stop time in his hands.

And after three years of growth, finally, the branches of the World Tree once again touched a new bubble.

For Merlin, this is a new world, and possibly a familiar one.

He's ready to see it at the moment, and he's excited because maybe he'll be able to see more familiar film and television characters.

After he repeatedly confirmed the situation on the ship with Stewart, Merlin set out on his journey again!

……

"Merlin, today is our first bridge docking test, don't be intimidated by my experience."

A middle-aged man dressed in what looked like a wetsuit and was covered with various electronic components and sensors said to Merlin.

"Haha, I'm sure we'll be a good match"

Merlin was also wearing this costume and patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

This is the world of the Pacific Rim.

Merlin happened to encounter a mecha fighting monster when he crossed over here, and when he was about to step forward to help, the mecha was crushed.

At the same time, he also discovered what kind of world this is.

In 2013, the first monster landed in San Francisco, and countless planes and tanks responded quickly.

At the same time, under the bombardment of countless missiles, even nuclear bombs were used to reduce three cities to ashes before destroying the monsters.

After that, monsters attacked the city every few months, and the government had to use tactical nuclear bombs again.

The destruction of the monsters also destroyed the cities along the Pacific Ocean, and they were no longer suitable for human life.

The existential crisis led humanity to reach a consensus and unite as one to defend the survival home of mankind, and the Hunter Program was developed.

A "mecha" that uses a supercomputer to connect the neurons of two people together and drive them together has been developed.

In 2020, due to the repeated failures of the mecha against the monster, the United Nations terminated the Hunter program, and at the same time switched to coastal defense and resident migration.

That is, to build a high wall against monsters and to build a line of defense along the Pacific Ocean.

As soon as Merlin crossed over, he witnessed the "Dangerous Wanderer", the most handsome mecha he thought he had watched the movie at the time, being chopped by monsters, but he didn't feel sorry for it.

He was more excited in his heart, who doesn't have a mecha dream in his heart, who doesn't want to drive a mecha to kill all directions?

So, he came to the Hunter Academy in Hong Kong, used magic to successfully forge a document, and became an apprentice pilot.

After a year of training, he managed to stand out from his apprenticeship and get the opportunity to connect with another senior.

If Merlin wasn't afraid of being too terrifying, he could punch through the steel plate with one punch, and it was simple to restrain his strength from standing out from a group of ordinary people.

He estimated that according to the plot, he would soon blow up the tunnel with a nuclear bomb, and if he wanted to participate in this battle, he had to pass the test now.

The well-equipped Merlin chatted with his senior partner John as they made their way to the Dangerous Wanderer's operation chamber.

This "dangerous wanderer" is not the protagonist's one, but Merlin has hypnotized the leader of the mecha through magical means.

A dangerous wanderer mecha redeveloped with the latest technology.

In order to get the people from the United Nations to cooperate, Merlin also ran several times for this, hypnotized dozens of people to rebuild this one unimpeded.

"Merlin, I'm older than you and let you choose first, left, or right?"

Putting on his helmet, John asked Merlin, pointing to the two consoles in front of him.

"It doesn't matter, it's all the same, besides, I'm the first in the driver's apprenticeship, and my grades are even better than your predecessors."

Merlin didn't mind which side he chose, because he wasn't going to drive with anyone else at all.

Although the magical knowledge in his mind can be shielded by magic, piloting a mecha is risky.

If the mech shattered, he would definitely be fine, but not his companion John.

Therefore, he is going to pilot the mecha alone, and the single pilot will collapse and die due to neuronal overload.

But that's an ordinary person, Merlin is not an ordinary person, his mental power is incomparably strong, more than enough.

So he even hypnotized the construction crew to secretly add a single control pod to the Dangerous Wanderer, hiding it above.

Merlin and John stand on two adjacent consoles with their hands and feet outstretched, and the control components automatically rise from the bilge.

The wires are connected to the armor and a virtual screen is activated, and after the crew repeatedly confirms that the connection is correct, they leave the cockpit and the mech hatch closes automatically.

"Are you ready, Merlin?"

"Get ready, John, I'm waiting to see how many girlfriends you've developed!"

"Hahaha, definitely not as much as you, the young man is young and strong, I want to see how you can practice so strong."

"Come on, get ready to launch!"

Merlin and John glanced at each other and pressed the controller in front of them together.

"Boom"

The operation compartment descends along the mecha arm, and slowly connects to the neck aids of the mecha, and the bolts and hooks are automatically connected, and there are a few clicks.

"Successful docking, Dangerous Wanderer activated!"

"Boom"

The eighty-eight-meter-tall mecha burst out with its powerful power, and the nuclear-powered pivot turbine engine on its chest burst into action.

"Are you ready, warriors," came the commander's serious, heavy voice.

"If this mission goes well, you will be the drivers of a new generation of dangerous wanderers!"

Somehow Pantcoster didn't feel worried, and there was a voice in his heart that made him believe Merlin, who had won the first place in the apprenticeship.

He thought Merlin should surprise him.

"Prepare for neuronal docking!"

"Five, Four, Three......"

At the end of the day, John saw Merlin turn around and seem to say something to him with his mouth, but was instantly stunned by the impact of a force.

Street Diary.

Does anyone know a reliable scalper? I'd like to get a ticket for the Tiananmen Tower on October 1st.

It's better to have a microphone, and tomorrow I want to say two words: "I want to collect, tip, and commuter passes." ”
