Chapter 274: The lingering dream of dawn, give way to speed but not to the road!
Qiao Qiao dragged the fuel tank all the way back to the assembly table, and when he looked up,
I saw Chen Luo stuffing an old left leg module into the left leg slot.
"You're so ugly."
She frowned.
Qiao Qiao looked at the left leg that was obviously not of the same model with a look of suspicion.
"Can this thing really move?"
Chen Luo poked his head out from behind the garbage dump.
"Don't worry about whether it's ugly or not, it can run."
"Then I have other options!"
Qiao Qiao bent down and pulled out a rusty but exquisitely shaped mechanical bird wing from the side.
"Look at this! It has a shape and texture! How dare you not choose it?"
"Isn't that a decorative piece?"
Chen Luo was suspicious.
"It doesn't provide propulsion or acceleration, and it takes up a storage slot. What are you going to do with it?"
"Of course it is...a bonus!"
Qiao Qiao is confident and righteous.
"If the wings are restless, wouldn't it look bad if they were put together?"
Chen Luo was so exhausted:
"You can only pretend this thing can fly, but now it can't even stand!"
"What do you know!"
"Wings are romance! They are the source of aura!"
"...then you might as well just get double eyelids."
"It's a pity I didn't find it. If I had it, I would pretend!"
“…”
Chen Luo held his forehead.
Qiao Qiao's movements were already faster than his mouth, and he hung the wings on the back of the mecha with a snap.
[System prompt: Functional device slot has been bound]
[Component: Rusty Feather Wings]
[Current Attributes: Aesthetics +10 / No other functions]
Chen Luo was silent for two seconds and continued walking towards the garbage dump.
But the next second, a "mechanical mosquito" suddenly flew in from the right side of the screen, buzzing in the face.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Oh fuck!"
His character waved and clapped.
Bang!
The mosquito exploded into a ball of sparks on the spot.
But on the right side of the picture, another one flew in.
Chen Luo raised his hand expressionlessly.
Bang!
The buzzing is so annoying!
Chen Luo continued to search for the other leg of the mecha.
After a while, Chen Luo took out another left leg of a different color from the garbage dump.
He paused where he was, gritted his teeth and turned his head.
"Qiao Qiao, no, the time is almost up and I don't have any room left."
“This is the only one I can choose!”
Qiao Qiao raised his head from the pile of broken mechanical arms on the ground.
"Whose mecha has two left legs?"
"Those two legs of yours mean this mecha has no future."
Chen Luo snorted.
"Time is running out, so let's just make do with this for now. It's better than nothing anyway!"
Qiao Qiao swatted mosquitoes while squatting down and digging through a crack in the ruins. Suddenly, his eyes lit up:
"I found the helmet!"
She raised a brass helmet with two feathers embedded in it, like a child who had caught a candy.
[Item: Old Ceremonial Helmet]
[Protection: Very Low / Beauty +18 / Includes "Molten Eyes" (Visual Effect Only)]
"Yes, it meets my aesthetic requirements!"
As Qiao Qiao spoke, he firmly embedded the helmet on the top of the cockpit.
Then she noticed a long piece of metal buried in the mud on the right.
She walked over and pulled out a spear that was made entirely of rusty gold and had a gear blade inserted at the end!
[Item: Dawn Broken Halberd]
[Type: Cold Weapon / Length 3.8m / Can be mounted with right hand module]
[Note: Too long, too heavy, requires stable structural support]
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up: "This is so handsome!"
"Wait, that thing is too long! If you put it on, the center of gravity of our mecha will be directly shifted, okay?"
Chen Luo rushed over quickly,
"Have you forgotten about our legs? If you really go up with your 'Dawn Broken Halberd', this mech will stab itself the moment it turns around!"
"The design is first-rate and very cool!"
"Look at my mecha's legs. One is long and the other is short. One is dark green and the other is orange. And they're both left legs!"
"You stuffed a three-meter-long weapon into it, expecting it to... hit people with its chin?"
"Besides, didn't we install the gun barrel before?"
"That's still better than you! At least I'm symmetrical! Yours is a failure. Do you understand visual imbalance?"
"Who would complain about having too many weapons?"
After arguing for a while, the two men finally put on their helmets and spears.
The final assembly diagram slowly unfolded in front of the barrage:
I saw a mecha standing on the platform, its left and right legs were completely different colors.
One is dark green and the other is orange, and if you look closely, both are left legs!
The right shoulder was covered with a piece of iron armor, and behind it were a pair of bird-shaped broken wings that could not be fully deployed.
A red copper ceremonial helmet is installed on the top, with feathers inserted on the left and right.
The most outrageous thing was that on the right hand of the mecha hung a rusty gold halberd nearly three meters long.
The overall shape is like a wasteland miracle that crawled out of a radiation hell and participated in an art festival.
Looking at the final shape,
Chen Luo had no expression on his face:
“…I don’t feel like starting it now.”
Qiao Qiao's face was filled with pride: "A work of art! This is the pinnacle of our wasteland aesthetics!"
The barrage of comments was filled with laughter:
Qiao Qiao is an artist, Chen Luo is an engineer, and their collaboration resulted in... this disaster.
This isn't a mecha; it's a cyber beggar's nest.
Qiao Qiao is a beauty person, Chen Luo is a pragmatic person, you two are really not a good match, but you are a good match.
[Isn't this the same setup as taking three steps and falling five times?]
[Strongly recommend naming this mecha: Shame of Civilization]
【……】
Chen Luo patted the shell of the mecha, as if comforting an old horse about to go to the slaughterhouse.
"Okay, let's take a final assessment."
【System scoring starts】
[Current mecha composition completeness: 87%]
Structural stability: Very low (two left legs/unclear center of gravity)
[Mobility: Average (Left Leg, Left Leg/Each One Goes Its Own Way)]
[Attack ability: High (cold weapon long spear + short-barreled manual cannon)]
【Protection ability: low】
[Aesthetic value: high]
【Comprehensive score: 47 points】
[Rating: D]
[Name is customizable by the player]
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and typed without hesitation:
Heart of Despair
"What are you doing..."
Qiao Qiao was so angry that he renamed it directly and changed the name to:
【Dawn of the Remnant Dream】
Final confirmation.
System complaints and comments slowly emerged:
Congratulations on creating a world-class machine that falls over after taking three steps.
Your mechas remind me of artwork from a highway accident scene: unpredictable chaos, breathtaking design.
Chen Luo was silent.
Qiao Qiao laughed so hard that he pounded the screen:
"Hahahahahaha, this system understands me!"
"I told you this thing is a work of art!"
"At least we have something outstanding!"
At this moment, the system popped up again:
[The score has been generated. Do you want to enter the battle breakthrough process? ]
[Mission Objective: Control the mecha to cross the fire line blockade and break through the obstacle zone]
[This mecha is operated by two people, please perform your duties]
[Combat Module: On]
【Character Operation Settings】
[Main driving: driving + camera view + engine control]
[Co-pilot: Weapon Release + Functional Device + Emergency Repair]
Chen Luo and Qiao Qiao looked at each other.
"Shall I take the driver's seat?" Chen Luo gripped the joystick tightly.
"Sure! No problem at all!"
Chen Luo made a bitter face:
"You aim, and I keep it from flipping over. Sounds reasonable."
Qiao Qiao was very excited:
"Don't worry, I'm here. Even if it falls to the ground, it will be in a beautiful posture!"
"What if you blow yourself up when you fire the cannon?"
"That's called tactical takeoff!"
Qiao Qiao smiled brightly,
"Also, be careful when you leave later! Give way to the speed but not the road! You must listen to instructions!"
"Sure, no problem!"
The scene switches to the cockpit, where two people are sitting side by side, their feet are unstable, and the dashboard keeps jumping.
Start the engine
The game screen shook, and the mecha started up with a "boom"
