Chapter 001: Deathmatch
He does not wish to conduct another barrage, but unfortunately, all the missiles have been exhausted, and there is little energy left. The damaged mech is on the verge of breaking down at any moment, so he can only abandon this thought. Of course, according to the feedback from the life detector, that girl has long since perished, making any further action unnecessary
Gazing at her gracefully swaying figure, Qin Huang silently vowed: "Mu Liya, I will not let you down"
Cough! I didn't expect the boss to be someone who values romance over friendship! he said gloomily
Isn't that so? Can this really be done?
She was a beautiful woman with an expression as cold as ice, her deep blue eyes, exquisite features, and skin as smooth and creamy as milk. The tight-fitting combat suit accentuated her alluring and voluptuous figure, while her platinum blonde hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
Well done, Sword Wolf, just one last shot and the mission will be accomplished
Please do not participate in such events again in the future, alright? It is too dangerous
Inside, there are battle scenes transmitted by Satellite No. 3 from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away
The poor sword wolf has actually fallen like this
In her clear and beautiful eyes, the figure of the boy in black running towards her was distinctly reflected, followed by two companions behind him
It is simply unbelievable! In such circumstances, a turnaround is actually possible!
Looking at the display screen in front of me, the damage to my mech is quite significant, even affecting the normal operation of the life support pod. If I take another hit, I fear I will be finished.
Indeed, on the surface, one is a senior instructor at the Dinan Military Academy, a Silver Rank Mecha Master, and the other is a student under her, who appears to be rather unremarkable. It seems impossible for him to support her.
The victor lives, the vanquished dies
In the face of life and death, Muliya's mood became unprecedentedly calm as she began to brainstorm strategies to cope with the situation
... ...
The terrifying kinetic energy effortlessly tore through the main body of the mech in one hundredth of a second, piercing this tall and sturdy steel monster, which then exploded into two halves. The wreckage of the mech was hurled far away by the powerful shockwave. Scarlet blood plasma mixed with fragments of human organs scattered everywhere
You have arrived!" With her red lips slightly parted, a clear and melodious voice emerged
"... kill! Kill this woman! Turn her into minced meat!" In a secluded high-end private room, a middle-aged fat man with a shiny face was shouting and gesticulating wildly.
Muliya silently estimated various data in her mind, knowing that she might still have one last chance to fight desperately. Of course, if the other party did not fall for her trick, then her fate would be uncertain
Through the transparent crystal walls of the life support chamber, the dim night sky outside came into view. Although the sealed thermal combat suit she wore was functioning properly, she could still feel the bone-chilling cold of the outside world, akin to the icy gaze of death itself.
The woman, who was about to enter the hovercar, stopped her movements and slowly turned around
The third satellite of the Dilan Star
Muliya pressed her red lips together, seemingly feeling that her words had somewhat hurt the young man's pride. She softened her tone and said: "Alright! It's not your fault! I am very happy that you could come to see me today!"
The arena hall was enveloped in complete silence; it took several breaths before the audience realized what had actually happened
The car door closed, and the vehicle soared into the air
The risks associated with deathmatch events are indeed exceedingly high, yet there are not many restrictions on the participants who choose to compete freely; their participation is entirely at their own discretion
... ...
The senior manager of the organizing committee, Liu Xiyuan, said with a beaming smile: "Three hundred thousand star coins have been transferred to your bank account. Next... I wonder what your plans are?"
Military academies have strict regulations; if a student fails to meet the standards in multiple assessments, they must publicly endure corporal punishment or even face expulsion.
The towering mech moved at a relatively slow pace, and the wreckage of the mech, which had been blown to pieces, was already in sight. Various metal fragments were scattered all over the ground, indicating that the previous missile had been quite effective
Damn it! You despicable bastard! You always manage to bet right!" The man in black muttered in frustration, gritting his teeth as he pulled out a light pink checkbook with a gold trim, seemingly aware that the situation in the arena had become difficult to reverse and that he was mentally prepared to accept the reality.
Half an hour later, the high-speed spacecraft landed in the suburbs of Fengjiang City on the administrative planet, and she, having regained her ability to act, was sent to the arena hall, where she received a hero's welcome
Then he triumphantly called out to a man in black beside him, who was frowning and silently chewing on a cigar: "Bob, get your checkbook ready! This time I am going to win again!"
Before the battle begins, the mechs of both sides are randomly deployed to a certain location on the satellite by the organizer's spaceship. Then, both sides start to showcase their abilities, concealing themselves while discovering and eliminating the enemy
Boss, rest assured! The instructor will be fine
Liu Xiyuan nodded and said, "Alright! Just contact me directly when the time comes."
Qin Huang walked up to her, scrutinized her for a moment, and then sighed in relief: "It's good that you are fine"
Muliya's pupils suddenly constricted, and the Gauss electromagnetic cannon trembled slightly. The immense energy that surged forth propelled the alloy projectile to strike the core life support chamber of the Sword Wolf at nearly teleportation speed
The ground trembles slightly, a sign of the approaching mecha, and she is now unable to even escape
The underground mech combat tournament is indeed this brutal
As she was carried into the medical cabin of the spacecraft by the rescue personnel, Muliya still felt a sense of being in a different world
Such a brutal competition is certainly not meant to be seen in public; therefore, to evade government scrutiny, the organizers typically schedule it during the late hours of the administrative planet, with the location being on a natural satellite of this planet
Thanks to the life support system being intact, her life is currently not in immediate danger, but this is only until the enemy arrives. Once that mech reaches her, a single shot of conventional firepower could shatter the life pod, effortlessly ending her life at the tender age of twenty-two
Muliya thought for a moment and said, "I have classes tomorrow, so I will not participate in the event tomorrow night, but I will come back next week!"
Dinan Star, the death mech combat event on Satellite No. 3, is the most favored bloody game among the wealthy elite in this star region. The betting stakes derived from it have reached an astonishing level. With each round of the event concluding, a large number of wealthy individuals are created; of course, correspondingly, there are also quite a few who suffer significant losses.
Closer, even closer
Above the sky, several unmanned intelligent reconnaissance drones are distantly scattered, faithfully recording everything that occurs on the battlefield, and then transmitting high-definition images back to the administrative planet Dinnan, located hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, presenting them before the audience in the underground arena
The external environment is desolate, almost an absolute vacuum, indistinguishable from the surface of the Moon. Unless one is a mech master of Silver IV or above, it is impossible to survive in such an environment without relying on auxiliary equipment
Damn it, the money I had in hand has flown away again, that useless bastard
The blood throughout the body was nearly stagnant, the heartbeat had almost completely ceased, and the breathing was barely perceptible. The entire body had entered a state of apparent death to avoid arousing any suspicion from the other party
The stout and simple-looking fellow shouted anxiously, only to be swiftly silenced by his own brother, who scolded him sternly:
Congratulations to you, the fortunate light beauty!
The young man, whose features still appeared youthful and tender, let out a soft sigh and silently said to himself: "In fact, I could take care of you, it's just that..."
Warning, warning! The level of damage to the system has exceeded the critical threshold. An explosion will occur in seventeen seconds. It is advised to eject and escape immediately! It is advised to eject and escape immediately
She suppressed the tension and anxiety within her, carefully checking the chips at hand. Aside from the life pod, the only tools available to her were a small-caliber Gauss electromagnetic cannon, an optical detection system, a smart robotic arm, and a few pieces of barely adequate reactive armor. There was still some energy reserves, but how long would they last!
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Get in the car! Let's go back together!"
On Satellite No. 3
"So will you take care of me?" The words of the icy beauty instructor left Qin Huang momentarily speechless
Without a word, as the hover car descended in front of her villa, Qin Huang silently got out and said: "Good night, Instructor, and I will repay that money to you as soon as possible"
Hmm! I will transfer 20,000 star coins to your account shortly. Go buy some potions and take care of the hidden injuries on your body! Training at such an overload every day will eventually lead to your body breaking down completely!
The Sword Wolf hesitated for a moment, but cautiously approached the explosion pit. His remaining task was to confirm the results of the battle and then send a signal to the organizer's spacecraft, waiting for them to land and pick him up.
"... you lucky dog!" The fat man cursed as he took out his checkbook, tore off a page, quickly wrote a number on it, and tossed it to his old friend
On the distant horizon, a nightmarish dark figure has begun to emerge; it is the enemy mech that has been tracking me, the last opponent in this deathmatch against the library! However, I am now almost devoid of any counterattack capability, while the opponent appears to be in a much stronger condition than I am
Muliya slammed the control panel in frustration, reluctantly issuing the command for voluntary disassembly. The massive mech trembled, discarding all severely damaged components, leaving only the relatively intact core life pod and a few barely functional modules.
In "Fast and Furious," Qin Huang said to Mu Liya
At this moment, the arena is filled with excitement, with tens of thousands of spectators eagerly anticipating the impending final slaughter
Despite the extremely grim situation, the girl had no intention of waiting idly by. After careful consideration, she used the mechanical arm to dig a large pit, burying the life pod and all its auxiliary equipment inside, leaving only the muzzle of the electromagnetic cannon exposed, aimed at the direction of the enemy's approach.
Is today the place where I will be laid to rest?
Damn it, this useless girl really disappoints me
In the blink of an eye, the victory and defeat have already changed hands
Of course, the instructor will definitely win!" said another boy with deep-set eyes and a slender build.
In the observation hall of the heavily guarded underground arena, a delicate-looking young boy in black is silently staring at the massive four-dimensional holographic projection screen not far away, while the high-strength alloy railing in front of him has already begun to slightly twist and deform under his grip
A burly young man beside me comforted, his voice trembling noticeably, revealing that he too was feeling tense.
... ...
In the private room, the man in black laughed heartily, put away his checkbook, and said to the fat man: "Alright, my friend, now it's your turn to pay. I told you long ago, that beautiful girl is not simple!"
... ... Hurry up and kill her, my bet is in hand!
At last, the figure of the Sword Wolf approached the edge of the explosion pit. The particle cannon on its left arm slightly elevated, aiming at the bottom of the pit, and the muzzle began to emit a faint glow, signaling the start of the charging process
Recalling the intense battle from earlier, he still felt a lingering fear. The girl, who had previously been inconspicuous, suddenly unleashed a terrifying destructive power, shredding three of their mechs in just forty seconds. She nearly single-handedly turned the tide of the battle; had it not been for his quick reflexes, he would have almost fallen into her trap.
In fact, the opponent had already entered the effective range of the Gauss electromagnetic cannon; however, in order to achieve the one-hit kill effect as depicted in the illustrations, she had been enduring and patiently waiting until now
There is no doubt that after returning this time, a substantial amount of income will be added to my account! This will allow me to continue enjoying a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle, as well as purchase various expensive cultivation resources to further enhance my strength! And that girl, Shaer, should not refuse my pursuit, right? He has been longing for that woman's body for a long time.
On the other side, in the core chamber of the "Sword Wolf" mech, Foucault was already celebrating his victory. Although the girl opposite him was cunning enough, the overall situation was now settled, and everything was beyond redemption
Buried among the debris and sand, Muliya silently recited in her heart, as the scope's halo firmly locked onto the increasingly approaching black mech!
Qin Huang paid no attention to the words of his two brothers, but instead focused intently on the changes in the scene displayed on the screen
"So you are willing to let me whip you in public?" Muliya's voice turned cold
What a pity for such a beautiful woman to be her own rival
Having spoken, she turned and strode away
Instructor, wait a moment
... ...
Various noisy sounds echoed throughout the hall
Hey! What about us!
Muliya stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly came over and hugged him tightly, saying softly: "Do your best! Otherwise, I will really hit you in public!"
I am very sorry! There is no time left!
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, the girl took her leave
Do you know what the ultimate fate of a light bulb is? It is treated like a sandbag and thrown down from mid-air
Qin Huang was taken aback and quickly refused, saying: "No, I cannot accept..."
Year 1081 of the Interstellar Calendar
Qin Huang fell silent once again. He is the youngest student in the school, yet he is also the most diligent one! Although his talent cannot be considered exceptional, his test scores have consistently ranked among the top tier. However, in the recent physical fitness assessments, his performance has been declining, leading to great disappointment from the physical training instructor, Luo Tianxiong
Ultimately, it is oneself who laughs last
Muliya understood that, given her current state, it was utterly impossible for her to engage with the other party. If that guy were to discover that she was not dead, the consequences would be...
The war will only be declared over once one side has been completely annihilated. The victorious side will receive substantial rewards, while the defeated side will be disregarded by all.
