Chapter 35: A Side Story on A-level difficulty

"Kill a 'Kaiju Beast', reward a D-level side story, and reward points of 1,000 points......"

- Killed.

Rogandao withdrew his reinstated beam saber from behind the monster's neck, and breathed a sigh of relief as he listened to the cold voice of the Lord God ringing in his ears. Fighting monsters for the first time, he has long known from a series of deeds in the PPDC database how tenacious these monsters are.

In previous battles, there have been many cases where monsters have been severely injured and forcibly perished with giant mechs, and most of PPDC's mecha losses have come from this. In the battle that led to Raleigh Beckett's mental exhaustion and retirement, it was the monster named "Scythe Head" that was badly damaged, but it was injured but did not die, and launched a second attack, which eventually led to the death of another mecha hunter, Yangcy Beckett...... And it wasn't until he heard the main god's kill prompt that Luo Gandao confirmed that he had really won the final victory.

I don't know if it's because the vitality of human beings is so tenacious, or because the people on this land have suffered too much...... Countless people felt the end of the battle, coming out of the collapsed ruins and out of their underground shelters. They looked at the corpse of the huge monster lying on the ground, and the pale blue mecha standing on top of the corpse, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Well done!"

Suddenly, an excited shout came, followed by a huge cheer, the sound of a crowd of people coming from all directions. The people who survived the catastrophe cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating the victory of humanity and celebrating that they had survived the direct attack of the monster; Some even knelt on the ground in prayer, paying their highest respects to the heroes who saved them...... In their eyes, the ASHMB, which they had never seen before and was very different from the mechs they had seen on TV, was no different from a god.

After all, since there will be ignorant people who regard monsters as natural disasters and as the punishment of the gods for humans, it is not surprising that people who also worship mecha as gods exist.

Seeing the reaction from ASHMB's vision, Rogandao exhaled. It was because of these cheering people that the seventeen-year-old who had ended the battle realized that he had won and saved everyone...... When Rogandao let go of his hands on the joystick and wanted to wipe the sweat beads from his face, he realized that before he knew it, his hands were slippery and he almost couldn't hold the joystick, more than the sweat on his face.

It was the sweat of nervousness, the sweat of excitement, and the sweat of victory.

Looking at the cheering crowd at his feet, Rogando felt the joy rising from his heart, and he wanted to shout in the body immediately, venting the high-spirited feeling that almost overflowed in his chest.

It was unlike any underground car race he'd ever experienced before, and all Logando had seen since his previous victory was the men and women who had drunk too much, and the gamblers who had placed their bets...... And none of those people will be excited about his victory, all they care about is how much they have won and how much they have lost.

However, this time is different from any previous competition.

In the current situation where all the giant mechs are unable to fight, Luo Gandao did take out a monster with a length of nearly one hundred and fifty meters, saving not only everyone, but also the entire Shattered Dome base...... To put it more exaggeratedly, Luo Gandao himself felt that it was not even an exaggeration to say that he saved the entire Hong Kong Island today. And he undoubtedly fulfilled his dream and became a "savior".

"In terms of the first actual battle, it was not bad."

The communication system on the screen in front of him suddenly lit up, and what appeared from it was Chu Xuan's still expressionless face, which startled Luo Gandao, who couldn't help but think of the past: "How do you feel now?" Are you feeling mentally or physically unwell? ”

"No problem, I'm in good shape."

Rogando felt his body slightly, and found that he didn't feel any discomfort except for a slight tingling pain in his temples. I don't know if it's because he maintains the state of the first-order gene lock, or because the excitement of the battle just now hasn't subsided, Luo Gandao even feels that his state is even better than before he boarded the mecha.

"Very well, for now, your battle process deserves recognition."

Chu Xuan looked at Luo Gandao's face, he lowered his head, as if to confirm some data. And Chu Xuan, who has always spoken unceremoniously, actually used 'worthy of affirmation' to describe Luo Gandao: "On this ASHMB, I used some new technology. I was worried about whether you would be able to adapt, but now that you are fighting, you are worthy of your potential. ”

“…… What new technology? Although he didn't know anything about Chu Xuan's glorious deeds in the past, Luo Gandao, who was still opening the first-order gene lock at this time, keenly smelled a hint of danger: "Just talking about the mental power sensing framework system and weapons, it shouldn't be a new technology......

"Nothing, just devices that can increase your body's abilities as your mental strength increases, just like when you transformed the beam saber at the last moment, ending the life of a monster in one fell swoop."

Saying this, Chu Xuan's words changed: "Okay, let's continue to fight." ”

"Oh, good...... Wait, keep fighting? ”

Hearing Chu Xuan mention it, Luo Gandao, who was still recalling the battle just now, subconsciously wanted to agree, but as soon as he said it, he realized that something was wrong with Chu Xuan's words: "Isn't the battle already over?" I've killed this monster ......"

"This monster alone can't or even be classified as a level five, not even an appetizer."

Luo Gandao was still holding a trace of luck, but Chu Xuan's cold voice instantly pulled him back to reality: "The wormhole will be completely opened in ten seconds, and next, the real battle will be." ”

At the moment when Chu Xuan's words came out, the shattered space finally stabilized, forming an irregularly shaped rift. And the prompt of the main god sounded in Luo Gandao's ears again...... But unlike before, this time it was all the members of the Middle-earth team who received the prompt!

"Team Middle-earth will trigger the second story of the Pacific Rim in advance, and the difficulty coefficient will be increased to the maximum, and when completed, you will be rewarded with triple the number of side plots and bonus points. Close all 'rifts' within three hours, and if you complete them, the whole team will get 15,000 bonus points, count one A-level side story, and complete the return to the main god space......"

"If there is still a 'rift' in this world after three hours, the Middle-earth team will be wiped out!" (End of chapter)
