Chapter 20: Chapter 17: The Three Brothers of French Fries_1
Translator: 549690339
Zhuang Zhou's video was instantly featured on the official recommendations, and it didn't take long for it to appear on Mars too.
The Martians were absolutely silenced, while Earthlings had already taken over the streaming room of Mars' patriarch.
"Don't bother watching, you Martians will never learn!"
"Did you see that? This is the real sovereign gun! Who else could it be but me?"
"The puppet god is invincible…"
"But they won once and now they're getting big heads."
"Where did this guy come from? I've never heard of a gun expert like him before."
"Bullshit, the Armored Tiger Fighter is an obsolete model. This guy must be a real badass. When did USE start producing such experts?"
......
A significant number of players flocked to the Mars' patriarch's room, releasing their pent-up frustration that had been brewing since the solar system competition.
To defeat the strong as the "weak," and doing so with such gusto, the overall atmosphere in USE had indeed been stifling. Losing to NUP in the Mecha competition was not a surprise, but losing to ROM was a real upset. This was something the entire USE hadn't even considered, and one could easily imagine what the victorious Martians would be like, especially given their outgoing nature. A kinder description would be "passionate," but "arrogant" would also fit the bill.
Li Hao took a break to rest for a bit, lately he'd been randomly assigned USE's old-model mechas.
Ding dong…
Li Hao's lazy demeanor vanished, a curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. A Bleem email.
Bleem mission 128: You can only use USE Armored series Mecha.
Li Hao was stunned, his eyes a little confused as he opened his mecha storage. He sighed in relief as there were only a few little cats inside, but there indeed were the three Armored brothers: Armored Dragon, Armored Tiger, and Armored Leopard.
It wasn't because the system always gave him Armored series randomly, but because he didn't have that many mechas in his storage. Mechas in EMP weren't free. As an Earth Zone contestant, the Armored brothers were free for him, permanently. And a few other Mechas were from various events.
Bought them? Not a chance.
The reason he was able to try so many mechas before was because of the weekly free access to the mecha storage. During the Real Zone ranking, however, there was no such thing as weekly free access.
Bleem wants to play tricks again?
It would make sense if they wanted him to reach 3000 points in EMP, that's probably to prepare for later tasks. But why just these three models?
Is it because he's poor?
After doing so many things over these years, Li Hao vaguely felt that there was a thread among them that pointed towards a specific goal. Yet, it always bothered him what Bleem actually was. Human or non-human?
If it was human, the technology that Bleem demonstrated was simply impossible to possess at this time, and if humans did possess it, why would they do such boring things?
If it wasn't human, then this civilization was merely using him as an experimental subject. However, all the exploration, assassination, and contact-type tasks throughout the years had a very clear purpose. Moreover, the content and language style of the emails were very human.
Either playing games, or running experiments, didn't seem to fit the pattern.
Thinking about it, Li Hao lost interest in continuing the game. He needed some vigorous exercise to stop his mind from racing.
When the puppet's icon dimmed, the sense of loss among the over two hundred thousand fans was palpable. It would have been a perfect opportunity to keep hammering at the Martians and show them Earth's depth.
The Mars players were even more furious. Ever since the Mars Federation was established, the Martians' goal has been to lead the entire Solar System Alliance. Earthlings, let alone Moon people, were nothing in their eyes. They firmly believed it was only a matter of time before the Martians were on top. It had always been them stirring things up, and now someone dared to challenge them? This was intolerable!
Who would have thought that this Earthling would be so shameless, hit and run!
Stane was furious, he had already sent multiple challenge requests. He still couldn't accept it. The last fight must have been a fluke, he wanted a rematch.
But his opponent had already signed off, completely ignoring him, when Stane's Sky mail chimed.
One message.
"Stane, the Yan Wolf Team doesn't need weaklings, you have been sacked."
Stane's pupils dilated,… he came out of the training room yelling hysterically…
Recently, Feynman and Alz had gotten addicted to studying the puppet, which was also characteristic of the Moon people. In fact, the character differences among the four human federations were quite significant.
Moon people are reserved and proud, they are careful and insightful, they like to explore the unknown and are always thinking three steps ahead.
Earth people are proud and conservative, they tend to overestimate themselves and are reluctant to change.
Mars people are extravagant and extroverted, they like adventures and have ambitions to be on top.
The people of Titan worship the powerful, they used to follow USE, but now they are committed allies of NUP.
Although Feynman has been defeated, he is more excited than ever after a few days of disappointment because he has discovered his own weakness.
"Do you think he made a calculated move, or did he just take a wild gamble?" Feynman couldn't resist asking.
"Who knows, this kind of leveraging force, the success rate is higher in the virtual environment, but it isn't very high in the real mode, it's playing with death on the knife's edge." Alz expressed his skepticism.
"Alz, you're wrong. He calculated everything from the moment he deliberately let the Sky Wolf hit him until the very end." a cold voice sounded, Tita arrived, "This man is very dangerous, and also incredibly audacious."
In the dormitory of Tianjing Robot Combat Team, Zhuang Zhou was looking at his creation with satisfaction. His fans have grown from over 500 to more than 10,000, which is quite an accomplishment for a freshman in the journalism department.
His new project has been finalized. Zhuang Zhou is also a golden gene carrier. Unfortunately, his dominant trait is not geared towards combat. His dream is to become an ace Mecha pilot, his dominant trait of having a premonition is a bit peculiar, it seems he has acquired some kind of prediction ability but not the kind that predicts lottery numbers. Instead, it is an inexplicable speculation or conjecture that is likely to be accurate most times.
He doesn't know if his luck is good, or what happens. The moment he saw the puppet, he had this feeling, and he has gotten used to following this sensation, continuing to explore, it always brings him surprises.
It was true before, and is even more so with the puppet.
New Tianxun wallpaper settings succeeded: Armor Tiger stands on a battlefield on Mars filled with gun smoke, holding the King's Spear and looking slightly at the wreckage of Sky Wolf not far away. Although it's a cold mecha, everyone feels the contempt of the king.
This is what the Earth people need, they want, because they are Earth people, no matter how they fall, the pride cannot be erased.
Suddenly, another bold idea popped into his mind, "Is the Puppet an Earthling?"
Who is he?
A mobile army expert?
A military academy student?
A pure civilian expert?
The heart of Zhuang Zhou pounds fiercely. Since the appearance of the puppet, most of his battles appear around 7 to 12 o'clock at night, which is the open hours of the Earth Military Academy's EMP.
Just then, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, "Damn, Zhuang Zhou, what did you post? Is this guy your friend? Awesome plus, he's skyrocketing!"
"Yeah, why didn't you introduce us to this amazing pro sooner? From now on he is my idol, damn, this picture is explosive, I want to set it as my Tianxun wallpaper!"
The posture and gaze of the Armor Tiger at that moment were just too cool.
Zhuang Zhou also thought it was cool, but unexpectedly, this picture actually became a hot search on the EMP...
Something like this would have been unthinkable and impossible in the past, suffice it to say, the defeat in the Robot Combat Tournament has made the people of Earth desperate for victory, even if it's just an insignificant amateur match.
After an exhausting workout, Li Hao is famished again. Feels like he would be bankrupted by his eating habits eventually.
When he arrived back at the dormitory, Marlon was standing on a chair, giving a speech.
"I'm not trying to lecture you guys, but you both need to stop wasting your lives. Women are the most beautiful existence in the world, listen carefully to these four key pointers on pursuing girls - hard, pamper, cheeky, act. Musashi, put away your muscles, damn it, it will only catch the attention of other guys. When it comes to being "hard" it's all about the attitude. Zuo Xiaotang, pay close attention. Do not show subservience like a lap dog towards girls, have your own opinions, invite them out for a meal without asking what they prefer, make the decision for them. Girls are indecisive by nature, you need to show your strong side, that's what it means by being hard!"
Musashi and Zuo Xiaotang are listening attentively, both are normal guys, if they were to say they're not interested in girls, it would be a lie. Dealing with girls is quite tough, and although they didn't admit it, they truly admire Marlon's ease and charm around girls.
They thought it was his natural talent. To the point where he even suspects Marlon's dominant gene is the ability to attract the opposite sex.
"Point number two, pamper. Zuo Xiaotang, put away your lewd grin, this isn't about breasts. Men need to balance strength and tenderness, it's all about skill!"
Musashi made the orchid sign with his finger, "Like this?"
Then both Musashi and Zuo Xiaotang burst into laughter. Marlon's eyebrows are shaking in annoyance, these two idiots.
"What you're doing is perverse. Take the opportunity to show girls your vulnerable, dependent side. It will stimulate their maternal instincts and tolerance…"
Li Hao came in, "Still preaching, Marlon? It's all about natural talent."
"Haha, Li Hao, your talent is really good, the news is that you and Ye Tong are together, share some tips with your brothers," Marlon teased.
