The air of the spiritual battlefield was filled with the smell of burnt metal. The aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated, and the swirling smoke and dust obscured the devastated wasteland. Only the blue and white light splashed by the psychic artillery fire flickered in the mist.
Xiang Fan (Zero)'s mech stood atop the high ground, its dark hull gleaming coldly under the flames of battle. His gaze pierced the chaotic battlefield, calmly analyzing the enemy and our own situation.
"Shadow Killer, go around the right side and take out the opponent's support." His voice rang out in the team channel. His speech was not fast, but it was filled with an unquestionable certainty.
"Got it!" Shadow Killer (Ning Yuge) responded with a big laugh, controlling the giant blade mecha to shuttle between the broken walls and ruins, and the body disappeared in the smoke and dust like a ghost.
Meanwhile, the Black Tortoise Guard (Luo Tiangang) engaged the enemy's main attacker in close combat. The enemy's mecha flashed with blades, attempting to force its way through his defenses, but the Black Tortoise's giant shield mecha remained firmly anchored in the center of the battlefield, each flicker of its psychic shield signaling a precise defensive strike.
"Xuanwu, don't resist. Pull to the left and hold them back." Xiang Fan gave the order again.
The Xuanwu guard responded in a deep voice: "Understood." Then he pushed the shield horizontally, forcing the opponent's main battle mecha back half a step. At the same time, he took the opportunity to evacuate and lead the battle line to a more open area.
At this moment, the Shadow Killer had already circled behind the auxiliary mecha.
"This guy didn't even notice me? He's so weak." Ning Yuge grinned, raised the giant psychic blade high, and suddenly slashed down with a blue light. A dazzling energy rift tore through the battlefield, and the shield of the opponent's auxiliary mecha collapsed in an instant. The system determined that the defense module was damaged!
"The support has been killed, retreat! Retreat quickly!" Frightened shouts came from the enemy's communication channel, but they obviously had no way to retreat.
Xiang Fan's eyes moved slightly, accurately locking onto the gap in the battlefield, and then he controlled Mecha No. 0 to jump down from the high ground, and he and Bai Zang surrounded the enemy's main battle mecha on the left and right.
"You Yu, do it."
Following Xiang Fan's command, Ling Ruochen's Youyu Sword Armor emerged from the ruins like a ghost, its stealth mode lifted, and the sword blade flashed with a cold light, going straight for the enemy's main attacker's mecha core!
"Alert! Alert!" The opposing pilot let out a final desperate cry, but the only response he got was the buzzing sound of the Youyu Sword Armor's light blade piercing through the armor.
On the screen, kill prompts popped up one after another:
Zero killed Jindan Mecha x1!
Bai Zang killed 2 long-range firepower mechas!
You Yu Jianjia ends the main attacker!
On the score screen, the exaggerated record of 39 to 0 made people silent for a moment.
Finally, a brilliant psychic cannon beam pierced the sky, the enemy base collapsed, the flames of war were extinguished, and the system prompt sounded -
"The battle is over! Winner: Team Zero!"
The team chat fell silent for a moment, followed by Shadow Killer's unbridled laughter. "39 to 0? Boss, isn't our victory too outrageous?"
Before the victory scene on the virtual battlefield had completely faded, Ling Ruochen's cheers had already exploded in the team channel: "Oh yeah! I finally got a one-star King! Sister! Look! Am I the youngest King in history?!"
Ling Ruoxi's virtual avatar slowly emerged. She glanced at the rankings, then glanced at her brother who was as excited as a cat with its fur standing on end. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Youngest in history, bullshit! It's obvious that the boss brought you all the way up."
"How could I win without doing anything?" Ling Ruochen immediately retorted, "I was the one who ended the attack on the mecha just now!"
Bai Zang interrupted lazily, a hint of teasing in his tone, "Yes, yes, you are really the MVP of the game. You just need to kill all the enemies by yourself."
Ling Ruoxi chuckled and exposed him mercilessly: "Don't forget, if the boss hadn't directed your route just now, you would have been sniped by the enemy."
Ling Ruochen pouted unconvincedly, muttering, "Isn't this also part of my personal strength..."
Shadow Killer laughed heartily in the chat: "Alright, alright, alright, you're the best. Wait until you can reach King rank in solo queue before you say this again."
"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys give me some face? Today is my King's Promotion Tournament!" Ling Ruochen yelled dissatisfiedly.
"Yeah, it's a pity that your sister is not moved at all." Bai Zang added with gloating.
Ling Ruoxi stretched and said lazily, "The boss has been taking you to rehearse dozens of games. He is exhausted. I'm leaving now. You guys can play now."
Xiang Fan rubbed the "head" of the virtual mecha and said with a hint of fatigue, "Well, I'm sleepy too. Let's stop here for today. You Yu, don't run around playing solo. If you lose stars, we'll have to help you get them back."
"That's right, kid, don't try to get yourself killed." Shadow Killer echoed, "Lao Luo, let's go in duo, it's more stable."
"Ah? Give me a few more, boss! Please! I think we can keep going!" Ling Ruochen looked unwilling and continued to wail in the channel.
The Shadow Killer smiled mercilessly and said, "Go solo, we won't be buried with you."
Xiang Fan sighed: "I'm really sleepy, if you want to drop stars, feel free to do so."
Ling Ruoxi smirked and said, "Brother, don't push your luck. Go to bed and remember to watch more tactical videos. Your brother was brought up by the boss, so you should be aware of this."
The channel was filled with teasing and laughter. Ling Ruochen could only reluctantly accept the reality, muttering lines like "Two more games and then I'll go to sleep", while others had already withdrawn from the battlefield.
Xiang Fan took a deep breath, stretched, and after exiting the spiritual battlefield, he looked at the familiar interface in the shabby mecha cabin, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm so tired." He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself.
Although in the real world, he is just an ordinary maintenance worker, doing the lowest level of work and living in the most dilapidated house, but in the spiritual battlefield, he is Zero, the invincible king.
After the virtual network was disconnected, Xiang Fan yawned and climbed out of the mecha cabin. He shivered as the cold wind blew on his face, and the neon lights in the night sky reflected a brilliant brilliance in his eyes.
"Tomorrow, there is more work waiting for me..." He smiled to himself, dragged his tired body back to the small room, fell on the bed, and fell into a deep dream.
