Suiyi chatted with Manli as they arrived at the mecha building. This time, they encountered no obstacles and Suiyi went inside. It seemed her uncle had given her permission!
Pushing open the door, one enters a particularly spacious hall, with various mechs placed along the edges. Sui Yi observes these mechs and walks to the silver mech by the window.
"Hey, do you like this color?" Manli followed over.
"Hmm! Don't you think the silver one is the perfect way to show off? It's so cool. The pink one doesn't suit me. The white one feels a bit strange, and the black one is too heavy. Besides, in terms of style, the silver one is better."
"But you go first. You pick one, and the two of us will each fight one mech. Then I'll tell you where the mech's weaknesses are and teach you some fighting techniques." Sui Yi, with her hands in her pockets and wearing a black trench coat, looked incredibly cool.
"Alright!" Brute Force looked around, walked up to the black mecha, opened the door, and went inside.
Sui Yi watched him operate the mecha as he walked out. The control panel inside the mecha was virtual, since the space was small, and he didn't use his hands, but rather his mental energy to connect to the control panel, issue commands, and achieve the operating conditions.
"Clang! Clang!" Mechs are rather bulky and not as agile as the human body.
"I'm ready, are you ready?" Manli stood opposite Suiyi and looked at her.
Suiyi nodded.
After Sui Yi nodded, the large black machine in front of her took a ready stance. Sui Yi raised an eyebrow as the mecha charged towards her. She quickly dodged the attack and circled around to the back of the mecha. Sui Yi glanced at the mecha, thinking about its weaknesses.
"Attack with all your might, let me see the mech's capabilities."
"good!"
This was no longer a simple man-machine battle. Brute Force unleashed its ultimate attack. Sui Yi could see clearly that there were laser-like emitters on the mech. Concentrating her attention, Sui Yi quickly dodged when the laser attack came, and the attack missed.
Just as they moved aside, a second wave of attacks came. Suiyi and Manli fought back and forth. The attacks were very fast, and although none of them hit Suiyi, they were indeed quite effective.
Suiyi observed that the mech's attack has a weakness: it is very weak in close combat. Its ultimate move cannot be used at close range because it will also get injured.
Sui Yi seized the opportunity and charged towards the mecha, making Brute Force spin around in circles. It was really frustrating that he couldn't unleash his ultimate move. It was just as infuriating as having mountains of gold and silver that you can't use!
Seeing a good opportunity, Sui Yi's eyes lit up. When the mecha was facing away from her, she quickly pulled at the joint of the mecha's arm. With a forceful pull, as if dislocating an arm, the mecha, which was being operated by brute force, had one arm removed.
Then, aiming at the other one again, just as it was about to extend its claws, it let out a brute-force cry!
"Hey! No, no, no! I'm not fighting anymore!" Sui Yi shrugged, withdrew her hand, stood still, and looked at the things in front of her.
A dozen seconds later, Manli crawled out of the mech, drenched in sweat and utterly exhausted. He sat on the ground, panting heavily. He looked at Suiyi and gave her a thumbs up.
"You're awesome!"
"How are you? Are you alright?" Sui Yi squatted down and placed her hand on his pulse. Fortunately, he was just exhausted!
"Sister Mu, can you tell me now how to defeat the mechs?"
“Okay!” Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Suiyi looked at him and slowly revealed her guess.
"Judging from what we just saw, this mech can actually be used as a good human shield during combat, but only if the mech is not destroyed. The mech's attacks are very fast; the light attack you just launched was like a machine gun, rapid-fire and dense. It has a long range. However, the mech has a weakness: once someone gets close, it can't use its ultimate move and can only rely on pure combat."
"Yes, mechs have blind spots. If the enemy gets close, and the mechs aren't quick enough to react, there's a high chance of losing."
"Actually, winning is both easy and difficult. In other words, when using a mech, because of its sturdiness, it's practically impossible to tear it apart with bare hands unless you're like me. Also, we need to rely on external force, namely weapons, to find the mech's connection points and dismantle it directly."
"I understand, thank you, Sister Mu!" Manli wasn't stupid, just a bit honest.
Sui Yi stood up, patted her wrinkled clothes, and looked at Man Li. "As long as you understand, that's good. I guess after this test, the company that researches mecha will add a feature to their products to make them more trustworthy. That is, they will add barbs to the mecha."
"Then... in that case, it's impossible to do it barehanded!"
"Don't worry, I have my own countermeasures for him! You go to the side, I also want to try out this mecha." Sui Yi walked to the mecha she had chosen, opened the door, went inside, pressed the button, and tried to release her mental energy to establish a connection with the mecha.
"The options projected above are quite comprehensive, but the ultimate moves seem incredibly weak. They're nowhere near the level I saw at Cedro's place. This kind of code-force attack can be completely blocked by the umbrella in my own space."
Sui Yi had no interest in operating the mecha. Instead, she got off and looked at Brute Force. "Hey! Big guy, why don't you try operating this mecha and attacking me? I want to use it for an experiment."
"Ah~ Oh!" Upon hearing this, Brute Force got up from the ground and boarded the mecha.
Sui Yi took out the umbrella that Sedero had given her from her spatial storage. It was an all-black umbrella that looked ordinary and nothing special.
"Launch the attack!"
"be safe!"
"Thunder Strike!" A bolt of lightning shot towards him. Sui Yi calmly opened her umbrella and spun it around. A magical barrier emanated from the umbrella, generating a suction force as it spun, drawing the light in and pushing it back. The attack bounced back. Brute Force's pupils dilated, and he momentarily forgot to move, watching helplessly as the attack was bounced back. It was right in front of him, and he had no time to react. He could only instinctively close his eyes.
"Watch out!" Sui Yi didn't have time to get there in time and covered her eyes, too afraid to look!
With a loud "boom," the white light dissipated. Sui Yi lowered her hand, and the mecha, which was smoking, collapsed to the ground. Startled, she quickly ran over, opened the mecha's door, and dragged Brute out.
I checked his breathing; thankfully, he wasn't seriously injured. He was probably just stunned by the shock! Relieved, I checked the umbrella in my hand.
The umbrella has a special substance that can deflect attacks, and the attack power increases by about three times after contact with the umbrella surface.
Good stuff. I wonder what other surprises the others will bring.
"Wake up, hey! Big guy, wake up." After putting the umbrella away in her spatial storage, Sui Yi reached out and shook Yu Li's head. It took him a long time to move.
