Although it is a simulated map of Planet Nott, the only areas that are actually open to the public are the former human settlements and parts of the desert.
As Cen Yu landed on the building with the mecha, he also saw the black mecha over there at the same time.
That was clearly not a standard-issue mech.
Because it's a random two-player battle mode, the system automatically connects to the opponent's channel.
"Students from the Imperial Military Academy?"
The person with the ID "I'm Sleeping" got straight to the point: "Only idiots from the Imperial Military Academy would like to use this kind of standard mech."
"Why don't you just vote?" the other person continued. "It's no fun bullying students."
Cen Yu remained silent. Since this person could recognize the standard mecha of the Imperial Military Academy at a glance, it meant that this person also had some background.
"It's been years since anyone chose the Nott Planet map," the other person continued speaking. "...Isn't it your Imperial Military Academy's internal competition period recently?"
"Could it be that this time it's finally not being held on that wretched planet, but has been moved to Planet Nott?"
“I am not a student at the Imperial Military Academy,” Cen Yu said.
"Haha." There were a few laughs on the other end. "Guess if I believe you?"
"Why don't you guess who I am?" the other person continued. "If you guess right, I might not beat you up too badly."
Before the match, Cen Yu thought to himself, "I'm just going to talk trash." He simply shut down the communication on this end. After all, he was here to train, not to make friends.
The system started timing the moment you entered the arena.
Without wasting any words, Cen Yu concealed himself and left the building.
Although it was a standard mecha, after training, he communicated with Jiang Yan, who specially helped him modify some data and added a lot of equipment.
Jiang Yan was still a little puzzled by this, "If that's the case, why not just change it to a different model in the system?"
After helping Cen Yu modify the mecha's anti-scanning system, he said, "This model is indeed a bit old."
Cen Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's the only way to catch them off guard."
This two-player competitive system has two modes: one is sniping, and the other is exploration.
In sniper duels, the first thing to do is to see who gets knocked offline, while in exploration mode, you have to find the secrets of the dungeon separately—Cen Yu and his opponent both chose the hybrid mode.
It means both exploring and engaging in sniping.
Main Quest: Find the Survivors
Side Quest: Kill the Zerg and Space Pirates
Cen Yu's task panel has also been updated with new activity...
Cen Yu landed at the foot of the building. He tried scanning his opponent's position and guessed that the opponent had also activated the anti-scanning function, making him completely unable to see the opponent's presence.
Just as he was pondering where the space pirates and the insectoids were, a black mech suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Before Cen Yu could even react, the mecha was already in front of him—and the other party kicked him to the ground.
"!" The damage to the mecha made Cen Yu feel a heavy blow to his chest.
The mech collapsed to the ground, and the black mech stepped on his chest, rendering him unable to move.
The black mecha was holding a strangely shaped cold weapon. Just when Cen Yu thought this person was going to kill him with a single blow... he saw the mecha place the cold weapon in a groove next to its leg, and then the black mecha made a gesture.
I tapped the mecha's head a few times.
Cen Yu looked at it for a while, and finally turned on the communicator—
"Hey hey hey hey hey hey???"
"Did you hear that???"
"Wait, young man, why are you running so fast?"
"Haha, you think I can't find you just because you installed an anti-scanning device? You're too naive, really too naive."
"The brats from the Imperial Military Academy have a kind of naive stupidity that comes from never having been on the battlefield."
"I'll show you what real combat is..."
"..." Cen Yu didn't expect to receive so many spam messages as soon as he turned on his communicator.
Seemingly realizing that Cen Yu's communication was already open, the man said, "I was just about to discuss this with you, but I didn't expect you to run away so quickly."
"How did you find out about me?" Cen Yu asked.
The black mecha released its foot and reached out to pull Cen Yu up from the ground.
"Didn't the Imperial Military Academy teach that?"
"Trust your mech, but don't rely on it too much." The black mech nodded a few times. "What's the purpose of your mental abilities?"
Cen Yu didn't speak. He recalled that when he fought the King Worm, he had used his mental power to wrap around the mecha in order to avoid being detected by the King Worm... He didn't expect that fighting against humans would be the same.
"Even with anti-scanning devices installed," the black mecha continued rambling, "it's still useless against Alphas with high levels of mental strength."
"By using mental power, one can know how many hidden mechs are nearby."
“But mental energy can be depleted.” Cen Yu said.
The biggest reason Alpha doesn't do that is that mental energy is not inexhaustible, and overuse on the battlefield might eventually prevent them from even piloting a mech.
"Haha." The black mecha laughed again.
"That's true for a weakling."
"..." Cen Yu realized for the first time that there were actually people who were even more deserving of a beating than himself.
"What are you going to discuss with me?" Cen Yu interrupted Sleepy Bro's rambling.
"I wanted to say, let's go together and take out the Zerg and the space pirates," Sleepy Guy said. "This is a cooperative mission, you can tell, right?"
Perhaps because five minutes had passed since the two entered the instance, the system assumed they had found a hiding spot, or perhaps they had a plan. At this moment, a continuous stream of insects appeared in the sky along with the starship.
