114 private rooms.
The private room is not big, with only three simulation cabins, and the surrounding furnishings are rather ordinary. There is not even a private room waiter, only a self-service catering machine on the side.
It seems that this kind of private room is just an economy room.
After Lin Tao took a quick glance, he immediately made a judgment in his heart.
"Lin Tao, is this your first time here?" He Fan turned on the three simulation cabins one by one and turned around to ask.
Lin Tao nodded. Not to mention the original owner of this body, even he, who had just arrived in this time and space, was indeed seeing these mecha simulation cabins with purely mechanical operation modes for the first time.
"Come on, come on, sit on it first, I'll help you register an account."
He Fan curled his lips, turned on the machine, and quickly asked Lin Tao to sit on it. Then he asked Lin Tao to scan his electronic watch. Before Lin Tao could react, a new number had been registered.
"You can enter the name yourself." He Fan said.
Lin Tao thought about it and randomly typed in the English letter 'L'.
'L' is the online code name commonly used by Lin Tao in later generations, which is taken from the surname Lin.
Just after picking the name, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Chi Zhengfei walked in with a smile: "Hahaha~ I'm lucky today. I didn't expect the genius mecha master Liu Zhengchen to show up. The person at the service desk gave me a special price. I can book it for three hours for 50,000 star coins."
"You booked it for three hours?" He Fan was stunned. Fifty thousand star coins was a considerable price.
"It's okay, isn't it just 50,000 star coins?" Chi Zhengfei patted his chest, looking like he was ready to go. "Today's incident is purely an apology to Brother Lin Tao. I hope that after today, we can still be good friends."
Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.
"How is it? Has brother Lin Tao registered his number?" Chi Zhengfei changed the subject and glanced at He Fan at the same time.
"Just registered." He Fan winked and made an OK gesture.
"Okay, then let's go through a few hands and see." Chi Zhengfei strode onto one of the simulation cabins.
Beep!
Chi Zhengfei has already entered his account and logged into the network.
The name of the Internet has remained unchanged since its appearance, no matter in which era, but this mecha combat platform specially provided for mecha pilots has another name, called Skynet.
This name has been used since the Interstellar Federation fully implemented mechas and has continued to be used until the year 4357.
The private rooms have LAN function.
After three people logged in, the LAN status was displayed with only three names.
Chi Zhengfei and He Fan often came over to play a few games. They knew the accounts, so after a quick glance, they immediately saw the 'L' account.
"Lin Tao, this 'L' must be you, let's play a few games." Chi Zhengfei said as he clicked the challenge on Lin Tao's account.
"I'm not familiar with how to operate it yet." Lin Tao clicked to reject. He also planned to try out the feel of it in a practice match first.
"Brother Lin Tao, this is not real driving. You just need to go up and operate it." Chi Zhengfei clicked the challenge again.
"That's right, we all came here this way. This mecha is used for combat. How can we become familiar with the operation without fighting?" On the other side, He Fan also stuck his head out of the simulation cabin and shouted.
Lin Tao frowned slightly. From their conversation, he could tell that although they aspired to be mecha masters, they had not received any special training. They probably just treated mecha battles as a game on Skynet.
However, relying on his experience as a mecha master of later generations, Lin Tao picked a mecha at random after accepting the challenge.
This is a humanoid machine called Tianjia Shenjiang.
It is also one of Lin Tao's collections in later generations.
Chi Zhengfei chose an animal bionic machine, a mighty lion-shaped machine named Red War Lion.
The battlefield was a valley with an active volcano nearby.
This is a map of what is known as volcanic terrain.
After the battle began, Chi Zhengfei skillfully controlled the red war lion to rush towards the crater, while also looking back through the monitor.
Puff!
At this glance, Chi Zhengfei laughed out loud on the spot: "This fool is indeed a novice."
Most of the mechas of this era adopt animal-inspired appearance. The reason is that the body with animal-inspired appearance is not only easy to operate, but also can be improved in defense or attack according to the appearance of the animal.
As for the humanoid body, it is one that only experts would dare to choose, because this kind of body cannot do what the animal-like bionic body can do, which is to increase attack or defense freely. In fact, apart from some weapons with extremely small power, if you want to add other powerful weapons, you can only choose external handheld weapons.
It's just like a real person.
However, most of Skynet's mecha operators are novices, and they may not even be able to control the basic movements of the mecha. In this case, wanting to control external weapons through the mecha is nothing short of a fantasy.
Therefore, there are only two types of people who choose humanoid bodies on Skynet.
Either he is a genius mecha master like Liu Zhengchen, or he is a novice like Lin Tao.
After all, in the eyes of novices, the humanoid is the most perfect machine.
Seeing Lin Tao's body from the monitor, it was like a person who couldn't walk but was trying to stand up and walked in a very awkward manner. Chi Zhengfei stopped the red war lion.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then he controlled the red war lion and rushed towards the Tianjia God General at full speed.
Inside the simulation cabin.
Lin Tao was cursing in his heart at this time. His so-called pure mechanical model collections from later generations were more than one level lower than the Tianjia Shenjiang he was operating now.
If we really want to use it as a metaphor, it means that even the fur cannot be simulated.
Those collections from later generations, both in terms of operating performance and operating methods, seem to be somewhat similar to the Tianjia Shenjiang he is currently operating.
But, it's just a resemblance.
A true pure mechanical mode machine is not only stiff in movement but also extremely lacking in stability when controlled.
In contrast, his collections were completely built on the neural operation mode. They were forced to operate in this mode and their performance was deliberately lowered, but fundamentally, they still belonged to the neural operation mode.
In other words, his later experience in operating purely mechanical model machines was absolutely zero.
Fortunately, Lin Tao is an ancient martial arts mecha master from later generations, and he can still successfully control the stability of the mecha.
Woo woo woo ~ Just then, a rapid beeping sound was heard in the simulation cabin.
“Have you been targeted?”
This was a reminder of being locked by enemy weapons. Lin Tao looked up suddenly and immediately saw two missiles flying towards his body quickly.
The missile does not seem to be moving very fast.
Lin Tao pushed the lever hard, and the machine immediately fell to the ground.
Unfortunately, the two missiles seemed to have a tracking function. Even though Lin Tao avoided them for a moment, they immediately turned in the air and continued to fall.
Lin Tao was not very familiar with this purely mechanical operation mode, and could only watch helplessly as the aircraft was hit by two missiles.
With a loud bang.
The screen was filled with white light and the sound of snowflakes could be heard in my ears.
“Hahahaha~” Seeing Lin Tao’s machine being easily blown into pieces, Chi Zhengfei burst into laughter in the simulation cabin. However, after laughing, he quickly stuck his head out with a deep look on his face again: “Alas, brother Lin Tao, this is your first time here, and you are still not very familiar with the operation of the machine. But don’t worry, you will be able to get the hang of it soon.”
He Fan was still in the LAN, watching the entire battle. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't bend over. He couldn't even deal with two basic tracking missiles and ended up in a mess. He was simply a newcomer among newcomers.
He Fan forced himself to hold back his laughter, and also stuck his head out, with a look of pity on his face: "That's right, brother Lin Tao, you just lack combat experience. Come on, let me help you train in the next round."
Lin Tao frowned secretly but didn't say anything.
Next, Chi Zhengfei and the other man began to slaughter Lin Tao's Tianjia War God.
The other end.
"Cousin, this is the high-end private room I had someone prepare for you."
Liu Zhengwei took Liu Zhengchen into a large private room with luxurious decoration and high-end layout.
In the center of the private room, five high-end simulation cabins are neatly arranged.
These simulation cabins, even in the mecha center world, are of extremely high configuration, requiring at least one million star coins each, which is almost equivalent to the cockpit of a low-level mecha.
"Okay." Liu Zhengchen nodded.
Without outsiders around, Liu Zhengchen's face became extremely gloomy, a stark contrast to his previous imposing appearance.
"Cousin, do you want to leave a special waiter here?" Liu Zhengwei asked cautiously, smiling.
Although outsiders may think that the two of them were talking and laughing, when they were really alone together, Liu Zhengwei still had self-awareness. This is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.
"No need. Since you just told me to open a small account, then I will open a small account that no one knows about and play a few rounds." Liu Zhengchen replied in a social manner. After that, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and continued in an even colder tone: "Besides, how long I can play depends on my mood."
Liu Zhengwei didn't dare to breathe a single breath. He just nodded repeatedly and didn't dare to say much.
Obviously, with Liu Zhengchen's strength, he is unwilling to fight with people who are too weak. As long as he feels that there are too few masters here, he will leave immediately.
After leaving the private room, Liu Zhengwei personally hung up the Do Not Disturb sign and then breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of Liu Zhengchen's words, his face darkened, and he hurried to the private room next door and pushed the door in. There were also five simulation cabins in the private room, which was almost the same as the configuration of the previous top-level private room.
At this time, about ten people had already gathered in the private room.
"Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Liu."
Seeing Liu Zhengwei enter, the people in the private room stood up respectfully.
"That's enough." Liu Zhengwei waved his hand, his face gloomy: "Are you ready?"
A middle-aged man with a mustache stepped forward and said, "Master Liu, I have prepared everything."
As he spoke, he pointed to the people beside him and said, "The people here are all famous figures in Skynet. They are well-known in the entire Mingyuan Star Skynet."
At this point, the middle-aged man with a mustache pointed at a sturdy man who had already started a battle in a simulation cabin and looked unruly. "This man is the Jackal, who ranks 90th on the Skynet ranking list."
"Oh?" When Liu Zhengwei heard Jackal's name, a smile appeared on his gloomy face.
