Chapter 75 The Final Victor
Zhou Jiu laughed and said, "I don't like that title, my dear boyfriend."
"Hmm?" Zhou Jiu's tone made Chu Zhao slightly wary. He raised an eyebrow and retreated towards his own side while asking, "So, what do you like?"
This suspicion quickly became a reality, as Zhou Jiu piloted her mecha and swiftly charged towards Chu Zhao; clearly, he was her target.
"Hey? Boyfriend, let's fight! Don't run away!"
Chu Zhao quickly piloted his mech back to the group, and chuckled faintly over the loudspeaker: "Zhou Jiu, your provocation won't work."
Soon, the formation of the Starshine team changed. The witch Dora piloted her mecha and entangled Zhou Jiu.
"I knew Chu Zhao wouldn't give up his advantages," Zhou Jiu said in the team chat.
"That shows your honey trap didn't work, haha." Lin Xiu mocked, cooperating with Zhou Jiu to prevent Chu Zhao from retreating further.
But the enemy's formation had quickly formed a complete defensive structure, and it was too late.
"Try to keep provoking them. If you don't first take down their team's leader, the Star Glory team will be too difficult to deal with."
Zhou Jiu rolled his eyes helplessly. "I've known Chu Zhao for a few months, and I've never heard of him being provoked like that. He's not that stupid; he can't even see something this simple."
"It doesn't matter if we can't provoke them. You've already tried to lure Chu Zhao, so let's take out their scouting parties first," Lin Xiu suggested.
"Come on, this roaming Dora is blocking my way right now. Are you guys deliberately trying to make a fool of yourself by slacking off so quickly?" The half-baked team had no competitive atmosphere at all. Zhou Jiu slowly clicked the keyboard, his fingers and whole body very relaxed.
"No, we're helping you defend against attacks from other mechs," Lin Xiu continued jokingly.
Lin Xiu and Sun You each fired a shot behind Chu Ming's tortoise-shell armor weapon before sneaking inside to hide. The opponent's long-range shooting was very accurate, and it was easy to get hit directly.
Zhou Jiu rolled his eyes, his fingers continuing to move on the mecha keyboard. "Seriously, you guys stayed far away, leaving me to go in alone, how can you be so shameless?"
"Have you forgotten that we're ranged attackers and Chu Ming is support?" Lin Xiu retorted.
"..." Zhou Jiu's conversation with the group ultimately ended in failure. At least they couldn't hide remotely for too long before coming out. If they hadn't known each other for a long time, she wouldn't have been able to see Lin Xiu and Sun You's passive resistance at all.
"Chu Zhao, if you're a man, come out and fight Zhou Jiu one-on-one!" Lin Xiu said, trying to stir up trouble.
"You're slacking off and then you're making me work so hard to be number one?" Zhou Jiu continued to argue with Dora, while Chu Zhao and Nan Yu would occasionally come over and scratch her head until it bled.
Feng Si alone held off Lin Xiu and his two companions, and considering the enemy's positioning, Zhou Jiu seriously doubted whether Lin Xiu and his companions could survive the enemy's constant close-quarters combat if they continued to slack off.
Although Zhou Jiu wasn't exactly panicked, he still sensed a bit of trouble.
Lin Xiu scratched his head slightly inside the mech cockpit. He didn't want to slack off in the final stages of the mech team's battle, but he had received a meaningful look from Sun You. Even though Lin Xiu sometimes knew that Sun You's interests didn't necessarily represent the common interests of the three of them, there must be a reason why she had Zhou Jiu stand out and praised him from time to time. Lin Xiu firmly believed that Sun You would never harm Zhou Jiu, and that it was merely a matter of winning a simulated competition.
So they really are slacking off.
"I feel like Zhou Jiu is in a bit of trouble, Captain, what should we do?" Little Cutie Chu Ming didn't see it at all, he was just a little worried looking at the situation on the battlefield.
“Feng Si’s shooting forced Lin Xiu and me to stay inside. Besides, I trust Zhou Jiu. Do you think Zhou Jiu can’t handle three people at once?” Sun You asked rhetorically. She was one of the people in the know. Even though she no longer had that kind of affection, Chu Ming’s admiration for her had only grown stronger after this virtual battlefield.
However, in order to have a chance of winning in the end, the three of them still managed to keep Cui Si and Nan Yu from being eliminated from the battlefield.
Only Chu Zhao and Dora remained, both of whom had fought Zhou Jiu in individual duels and had some understanding of his fighting style.
[Did I see wrong? I felt like the other members of the "half-baked" group suddenly seemed a bit weak?]
[No way, Cui Si and Nan Yu are also listed mecha pilots. All three of them are freshmen; it's already quite difficult for them to eliminate those two.]
Perhaps their mechs suffered some damage during the battle with the alien beasts? They do seem a bit weaker.
[By almost exchanging one for one, they broke Chu Shen's plan; this was a brilliant move.]
[Where is the good move? Zhou Jiu is facing two opponents; this is hardly a good move.]
[When their team has three or more members, you've all seen their combined strength boosted by the Star Glory synergy, otherwise, Star Glory captain Chu Zhao wouldn't be considered God Chu by so many.]
[I also think, maybe the captain of the mediocre team figured out that Zhou Jiu could take on two opponents at once?]
[Stop arguing, Zhou Jiu really is carrying two kids.]
After a short period of leisurely typing on the keyboard as a rest and relaxation for his fingers, Zhou Jiu began a noticeable acceleration.
Her mech fired like a machine gun, rapidly attacking the two mechs attacking her from both sides, mimicking Dora's attack style, successfully taking on two at once.
At this point, the speed had clearly not yet reached its limit. Zhou Jiu's hand speed was even faster, and her leg technique was sharp and fast, kicking towards both ends in a horizontal kick.
Dora's transformation was interrupted by her speed, and Zhou Jiu seized this opening and quickly launched a spinning kick at Chu Zhao, disrupting Chu Zhao's attack rhythm.
Before Dora's mecha could fully transform, Chu Zhao had already flown in front of it and swiftly used her energy blade to attack its weaknesses. After the energy blade could no longer directly attack her, Chu Zhao's next attack came. However, Chu Zhao's attack was swift and unpredictable, a departure from her usual style. With her next leg kick, Chu Zhao was kicked far away.
But in an instant, Zhou Jiu immediately realized that her kick to Chu Zhao should not have reached that position, and she saw that Dora had also quietly withdrawn from the battlefield.
Zhou Jiu rapidly unleashed the firepower of the engine armor.
A bomb exploded, and smoke blocked the live stream's view.
[Huh? I thought Zhou Jiu was dead after that bombardment just now.]
[What a surprise! I, Zhou Jiu, am truly the eternal god!]
However, now there's a cloud of smoke, and the live stream video has been switched to the outside world. I'm really curious where Zhou Jiu is hiding. I also have Chu Zhao's live stream running next to me, and there's absolutely no activity from him either.
[They followed all three, but didn't notice anything amiss.]
[Wow, that was an amazing move!!!]
[Chu Shen and the ever-changing witch are gone just like that? How did Sister Jiu manage to do that?]
After Zhou Jiu finished off the last two people with his energy blade, he left the StarNet only after hearing the final announcement from the arena.
