The soft, cute loli voice replied, "I suggest you familiarize yourself with the mech first. Complete the level 0 missions in the following order, from easy to difficult. This will save time and allow you to reach level 1 as quickly as possible."
Lu Manman looked at the mission sequence list that appeared in front of her and nodded. This was the only way. She opened her backpack and found a dusty mech inside. The mechs here were a bit different from those in reality. Mechs were divided into ten levels, and the ones given away in the game were all level one mechs.
Although the mecha they received was unremarkable in appearance, Lu Manyan couldn't hide his excitement.
This is a legendary mecha! Following the instructions, Lu Manman arrived at the training ground.
Upon entering the mech, the view suddenly opened up, and there were many other similar gray mechs performing strange movements nearby; these were all familiar newbies.
Lu Manman familiarized herself with the buttons, trying each one out until she was sure she knew them by heart. Then she started performing various actions: spinning, jumping, running, attacking...
After feeling that it was about time, Lu Manman opened the first task: Insect Nest Exploration.
The moment she clicked confirm, Lu Manman was transported to a dark and damp Shandong province, where there were pairs of green eyes.
Lu Manman quickly changed into her mecha, picked up her broadsword and started slashing. The initial mecha only had melee weapons; firearms could only be obtained by killing insects and collecting equipment, which could then be combined.
Lacking practical experience in mecha combat, Lu Manman's limbs were entangled by several insects, and it took her a lot of effort to pass the first level.
The second level took less time. By the fifth level, Lu Manman was almost completely familiar with the mech. Relying on her experience killing zombies, Lu Manman targeted the crawling worms' weaknesses and killed them one by one, quickly passing the fifth level and the following levels.
After two hours, Lu Manman finally cleared all the levels at level 0 and leveled up to level 1. Leveling up in the early stages is relatively easy, but the equipment that drops is not very good.
They are all level 1 fragments, level 2 fragments are extremely rare, and it takes 100 level 2 mech fragments to upgrade a mech to level 2.
Lu Manman then opened the level 1 missions. The missions from level 0 to 3 were relatively simple. Although there were many missions, Lu Manman completed them quickly.
She is now a Level 4 mech warrior and has collected 98 Level 2 mech fragments.
We now have level one mechs equipped with firearms.
Just as Lu Manman was about to rush to level five in one go, she suddenly heard a piercing alarm: "Attention players, attention players, in order to protect your mental strength and mental power, you will be forced to log off in one minute. If you need to stop this, please enter the verification code and fill in the disclaimer. Anything that happens after you stop this is unrelated to this game."
A verification code and a form appeared on the screen in front of me, followed by a disclaimer with a signature field.
Feeling uncertain, Lu Manman decisively chose to withdraw.
The moment she exited, the holographic pod opened, and Lu Manman sat up. She carefully examined herself and found no discomfort. She was considering whether to continue playing when...
Yuan Yuan, who had been waiting by the side, happily came over and said, "Hua Hua, you're finally out! I just received a package. Master bought a lot of nutritional supplements. You can eat them for a long time."
That's good news, but, "Under what circumstances do owners usually buy nutrient supplements?"
"The owner buys things whenever they want, and there's no pattern to it."
Hearing this, Lu Manman felt relieved. Looking at the large box full of nutrient solutions, Lu Manman suddenly thought of something.
I took a picture and searched for the price. This box is a high-end nutritional supplement, 30 vials, and the market price is 10,000 Star Coins. I didn't expect the nutritional supplement I drink to be so expensive.
This means that she currently has no assets and instead owes Qi Xiuyuan 333 star coins.
Driven even more eager to make money, Lu Manman greeted Yuanyuan and then entered the holographic capsule again.
He decisively started the Level 4 mission. The difficulty of the Level 4 level increased sharply, and he had to form a team. Lu Manman clicked on random matchmaking and was quickly matched with a 10-person team: a pharmacist, a mechanic, a commander, and the rest were mech warriors.
The objective of this mission is to defend against the Zerg attack, protect the school, and ensure that the mortality rate does not exceed 10%.
Before the game started, everyone felt a sense of security looking at Lu Manman's imposing figure and unconsciously included her in the team's strong lineup.
After exchanging brief greetings, the 10 people clicked to start the game. Soon, they were teleported to a bustling school. As soon as they landed, the school's alarm sounded – the Zerg were attacking!
The commander hurriedly ordered the mech warriors to enter their mechs and prepare for battle. When they saw Lu Manman's mech, everyone was disappointed. This guy was not only poor, but also unlucky.
Logically speaking, since she has already reached the fourth level, she should at least have obtained a lot of level 3 mech fragments, let alone a level 4 mech, and be able to synthesize a level 3 mech. But she doesn't even have a level 2 mech, and is still stuck with a level 1 mech.
Seeing all the cool level 4 mechs around her, Lu Manman realized the problem and couldn't help but ask, "Are you all pay-to-win players?"
Everyone shook their heads, confirming that this girl was simply unlucky. A little worried that they wouldn't be able to pass the level because of this unlucky girl, they all moved away from her.
After a teammate kindly explained things to Lu Manman, she realized that her low mecha level was because she was really unlucky.
It seems I need to upgrade my mecha as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect my future career as a sparring partner.
Because of her low-level mech, Lu Manman was assigned to defense. She watched her teammates launch an attack and carefully observed their battle, hoping to learn from them. However, she found that their mech movements were not smooth enough and their combat skills were basically just firearms.
Suddenly, several level-four Zerg creatures crossed the defensive line and flew towards Lu Manman and her companions.
Lu Manman immediately piloted her mech and charged forward, combining melee and firearms. However, the firearms of the level 1 mech were not very effective against the level 4 Zerg, so she mainly relied on melee weapons to strike their vitals. Everyone only saw a blur before a large number of Zerg fell down, making everyone exclaim "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
Realizing his misjudgment, the commander—the wise man—quickly made way for Lu Manman's charge and replaced him with a weaker mech warrior to defend.
Lu Manman lived up to expectations, using his Level 1 mech to halt the Zerg's advance and quickly completed his mission.
Although the process was short, the equipment that dropped was disappointing, consisting mostly of level 1 and 2 mech fragments, and the weapon fragments were also very low-level, making it completely unappealing to collect them.
Everyone looked at the majestic and imposing Fortune King. It was truly a case of being both made and destroyed by the same force.
The wise man couldn't help but say, "Level 4 levels mostly drop level 4 fragments, with occasional level 5 fragments. It's rare to see fragments lower than the current level. This time... it's quite unexpected."
Lu Manman scratched her head. "Really? I've always been a level one or two fragment."
The wise man shook his head. "Poor child," he said, "I don't want any of my fragments. I'll give them all to you. After all, you did the most work."
The others followed suit, not because they were generous, but because they figured the money would just gather dust in their backpacks anyway.
