Chapter 59: The First Battle Between the God of War and the Half-baked Player Begins
"Currently, Lu Qi and Fang Cheng from the War God team have appeared, and I've also observed their attack positions. Ye Yang is currently lying in ambush at approximately my ten o'clock position." Chu Ming said with difficulty as he spoke about what he had noticed.
"I've arrived." Zhou Jiu quickened his pace and rushed directly to the battlefield where Chu Ming was.
Here it comes, here it comes, the scene I've been most looking forward to!
Let's see who's the best this time.
Zhou Jiu calmly stepped into the position where Chu Ming had estimated Ye Yang to be at ten o'clock. The mecha leaned back like a human body, and with one hand supporting himself, he dodged the mecha that rose from the sand and slashed horizontally.
Zhou Jiu's fingers tapped the keys on the mecha's keyboard at a leisurely pace. With a smooth series of dodges, he retreated and advanced, launching a spinning kick at Ye Yang's mecha.
[Am I seeing things? Zhou Jiu's attacks seem even more fluid, the mech's movements are incredibly smooth, as if he was prepared in advance.]
The stocks I bought are truly high-quality stocks.
[An insider tells you, Zhou Jiu is progressing incredibly fast; she's probably already entered the next stage.]
[Haha, actually, as Zhou Jiu's classmate in the mecha class, I'll let you in on a little secret: Zhou Jiu almost beat Chu Shen.]
[You almost won, but you still lost. What's there to be so smug about?]
[Huh? That was the first lesson in mecha combat. They almost won. I don't know if they ever officially fought again. Zhou Jiu was sent to be an exchange student, right? Who knows what those two scumbags were up to behind the scenes.]
[A pair of adulterers?]
While watching Zhou Jiu fight Ye Yang in the live stream, Ye Yang was completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back. The one-sided mecha battle wasn't very interesting, and most people started to wonder why Zhou Jiu and Chu Zhao were called a "dog couple".
[Sigh, these two are just feeding us dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection). I can only say that Brother Chu acted too quickly, not even sparing minors!]
After Chu Zhao finished his preparatory lesson, he saw Nan Yu clicking around on the screen. The problem was that he hadn't set up private viewing yet, so he could see Nan Yu's replies clearly.
"Next time you speak ill of someone, please keep your distance."
"Huh? Isn't Li Yuan talking behind my back? I'm the one who's condemning you to your face." Nan Yu said confidently.
“…I’ll relay those words to Dora next time.” Chu Zhao watched as Zhou Jiu suppressed Ye Yang on the screen.
"She's really starting to understand mecha! Go practice mecha now, stop watching, or you'll get crushed by your junior in the mecha competition later." Chu Zhao said without even glancing at Nan Yu.
"You think you really understand mecha? Brother Chu, you're wearing too much of a filter." Nan Yu said with dissatisfaction, but continued to laugh, "Anyway, the news of Brother Chu being humiliated has already spread throughout the entire forum, so even if I lose, I won't lose face."
Chu Zhao chuckled and stopped explaining. There are always people in the world called geniuses, and Zhou Jiu has neither lacking in perseverance nor talent. It's only a matter of time before he understands mechs and becomes a god.
"Let's go practice the mecha. Zhou Jiu's moves suit you quite well. Dodging is your weakness, so you should learn and practice it."
Nan Yu immediately shut down the live stream. "No way, this is totally not my style. I don't know how Zhou Jiu can control the mecha to make this kind of pose. I can't do it. Let's practice our teamwork instead."
"This is the last mech competition, so be serious..."
[Complete crushing! Ye Yang's fans must be speechless now.]
[Ye Yang was eliminated? Zhou Jiu is too strong! I heard she's only been actually training in combat mechs for a few months. Wow, that's amazing.]
[As someone who has trained in mecha combat, let me tell you, Zhou Jiu's moves are not replicable. This maneuver requires a lot of skill and hand speed. The move looks simple, but if you can't keep up with the technique during the rotation, you're in for a beating.]
Alright, now I'm going to buy shares in this half-baked team; all five of them made it to the official tournament!
After quickly dealing with Ye Yang, Zhou Jiu used the momentum to accelerate and rushed to Lu Qi's vicinity in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Jiu's mecha leg had already extended, and Lu Qi was ready to dodge, but Zhou Jiu was extremely fast. Lu Qi only saw a blur before he fell to the ground. Before Lu Qi could follow up with his second move, Zhou Jiu's series of attacks came flying over.
[Nobody knows Zhou Jiu's hand speed. This speed is godlike, isn't it? Why did I feel like she was hiding her true abilities before?]
[Perhaps it's a sudden transition to the next stage?]
[The person upstairs thought they were playing a game!]
[It's not impossible, sometimes hand speed can be trained, but Zhou Jiu's hand speed is estimated to be over 600.]
Zhou Jiu found a quiet spot and held his severed right mech arm, chatting with viewers in the live stream while watching the battle between two defensive mechs.
Chatting wasn't enough, Zhou Jiu also activated the communicator with Chu Ming, "Chu Ming, you're no good! You can hold out against two, but there's only one defensive mech left. Why aren't you taking her down? What are you waiting for?"
"You're the melee mech, I'm just a defensive one." Chu Ming and Fang Cheng were dodging and fighting back and forth, and Zhou Jiu felt like he was watching two elementary school kids fighting.
"Stop playing, it's so boring taking turns," Zhou Jiu continued shouting.
"Then come over here. My mech and Cheng Cheng's mech are about the same in all aspects, and our hand speed is about the same. I can dodge her just as well. You come over and she'll be done for. What are you standing there watching the show for?" Chu Ming was forced to say a long sentence.
Zhou Jiu wasn't in a hurry at all. She had already secured the qualification, so it was good to let Chu Ming practice. She said with a smile, "You need to improve. Look, our team chose you instead of Fang Cheng. Doesn't that prove that you are stronger than Fang Cheng? If you beat her now, it will prove that we have better judgment than Ye Yang and the others."
"Besides, you were attacked by two people just now, and you did a great job. Now that you're alone, why are you weaker? Chu Ming, believe in yourself. You can definitely defeat the War God Team."
After a long silence from Chu Ming, and seeing that Chu Ming's attacks had become slightly more intense, Zhou Jiu leisurely chatted with the people in the live stream.
"You guys think I just watched Chu Ming get beaten up? Actually, no. Chu Ming has potential, but he has a tendency to back down deep down. He wasn't completely at a disadvantage when he was fighting two opponents just now, but now he's only putting up a few blows with the defensive mechs. This shows that he thinks his strength has reached its limit. I'm just trying to motivate him."
Isn't this just being lazy?
[I feel like Miss Zhou Jiu is teasing Brother Chu Ming. Do they have a grudge from before, and is she taking revenge on her own?]
The fight had been going on for almost half an hour, and Zhou Jiu was still watching the spectacle.
"My hand is almost ruined, Zhou Jiu, are you coming or not?" Chu Ming was a little angry.
Zhou Jiu pursed his lips, a hint of a smile in his eyes. After all, friends are meant to tease each other.
Of course, seeing that the equation had a fatal attack, Zhou Jiu still made a move.
