The battleground was then set in a vast desert. Amidst the swirling dust, two two-meter-tall mechas stood in the center. In holographic mode, Auckland could almost feel the desert's scorching heat and the sand blowing against his skin.
Rachel and Dragal are both freshmen at the First Federal Military Academy. They are currently only learning theory and combat skills. Their military rank is still private, and they are not yet qualified to drive mechas in reality.
However, this didn't stop them from enjoying the Star Network. They were all using virtual mechas generated by the AI's simulated data. Rachel, known for his strength, used a T-series TJ-538 mecha, while Dragal, known for his speed, used a Y-series YC-158 mecha.
Don’t underestimate these two mechas, as they are only C-class virtual combat mechas. They were exchanged for points that the two of them spent a year earning in the arena. The hardships involved are beyond the imagination of outsiders.
They treasured these two mechanical mechas, which were not of high level, very much. After all, they were obtained through their own efforts, not through their family background.
Through constant battles in the arena, their understanding of mechas had indeed deepened considerably, and they were gradually applying the theoretical knowledge they had learned in school to mecha combat. They were now counting on continuing to fight in the arena with these two mechas, so that they could quickly advance to Zone C and exchange for higher-level virtual mechas.
Dragal couldn't wait to equip the B-level power-enhancing emblem he had just obtained to the YC-158. The bright silver mecha seemed to have a mysterious halo, which was fascinating.
Rachel looked at Dragal's mecha with a serious look, her envy evident in her eyes.
Auckland, who was watching from the side, saw their every move through the holographic image, and naturally did not miss Rachel's eyes full of envy and desire. He could only apologize to her silently in his heart, thinking that if he had time tomorrow, he would make a virtual emblem for her as well.
Unfortunately... I can't give him the A-rank emblem in the virtual warehouse...
Speaking of which, Rachel once saved his life. Not to mention a virtual A-level emblem, she deserved a bunch of real A-level emblems. It was a pity that now was not the time for him to show his prowess. After all, his cultivation had not yet recovered, and he had no ability to protect himself. There were also unknown dark forces lurking behind his back, trying to murder him at any time. For now, he could only keep a low profile.
At this time, the battle between De Lagar and Oakland officially began.
This wasn't the first time the two of them had fought each other, so they were quite familiar with each other's tactics.
Delagar immediately drove the mecha to hide his figure with the rolling sand, but Rachel stood calmly in place, maintaining the strategy of remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
The next moment, Dragal's mecha suddenly appeared from behind Rachel, and the Aurora Sword in his hand stabbed towards the back of Rachel's mecha. The angle was very tricky.
However, Rachel seemed to have eyes on her back. She thrust the Aurora Sword in her hand backward from her ribs, not only blocking Dragal's sneak attack, but also piercing the leg of his mecha.
Dragal retreated quickly, but a hole had been pierced in the leg of his mecha, which shows how powerful Rachel was.
Dragal angrily yelled through the mech's communicator, "Oakland! Make me a B-rank emblem with enhanced defense next time!"
The communication in the arena can be heard not only by the two combatants, but also by the spectators, who are unable to communicate with them.
Auckland couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He had realized that in a close combat, Delagar and Rachel might be able to tie, but once they switched to mechas, Delagar would be at a disadvantage.
The Y-series mecha is a lightweight mecha that sacrifices defense and strength in exchange for the advantage of speed. Although the T-series mecha is bulky, its defense and strength are 15 times that of the Y-series mecha.
Under the same conditions, Rachel, a leopard orc, could use his strength and explosive power to compensate for the mech's lack of agility. Furthermore, he was very familiar with Dragal's fighting style and was always able to block Dragal's attacks in time. At this point, Dragal's mech's defense became a fatal flaw, and even the power-enhancing emblem seemed to have little effect.
However, what Auckland didn't know was that Rachel of the TJ-538 mecha had a slight numbness in his right hand. Just now, when he used the Aurora Sword to block Dragal's sneak attack, he was shocked by his strength and his palm became numb. This was the first time he encountered this situation in the battle with Dragal. It seems that the power of this B-level emblem is really not to be underestimated.
The two fought for several more rounds, and both of their mechas were damaged. In the end, Rachel won with a slight advantage.
Fortunately, this is just a virtual mecha battle. If you change the room, you will get a new and good mecha. If it were a real battle, even the richest man in the universe would not be able to bear such a mecha scrap rate.
"Hmph! I'm not going to play with you anymore. I'm going to go bully other people!" Even though he had the B-level emblem attribute bonus, he still lost to Rachel. This made Dragal very unhappy. He turned around and went into other rooms in the arena to bully others.
Seeing this, Rachel looked at Delagar's back as he left, shook her head helplessly, looked at Auckland, and said a little embarrassedly, "If you are free these few days, can you help him make another emblem to strengthen his defense?"
Rachel knew Dragal's temper well. Once he'd vented his anger in the arena, he'd definitely come back to her to get even. If Dragal still lost, she'd probably be in trouble for days. While Dragal's temper was adorable, it was best to let him get his wish and win with his true ability.
"Of course." The defensive runes are more complicated than the runes of the giant power rune, but for Auckland, who used to be a rune cultivator, it is not a difficult task. It is just that suppressing the energy level to level B requires some skills.
"Okay, he sent us a message asking us to go watch him abuse people. But it's getting late. If you're tired, log off and take a rest. You still have to deal with the application for transfer tomorrow." Rachel reminded with concern.
"Okay." He couldn't understand the mecha battles anyway, so it was better for him to log off and have a rest. So after Rachel left, Auckland simply logged off.
As soon as he took off the smart helmet, he remembered the auction of Roy's coat of arms, but it was too troublesome to log in to the Star Network again, so he simply turned on the optical computer, logged into the Star Network, searched for "Roy" and "virtual coat of arms" as keywords, and quickly found the online store that was auctioning the A-level coat of arms.
There was only one virtual item in the store, which was the A-level emblem, with a starting price of 500 federal coins. At this time, the bidding had reached a white-hot stage, with bids changing almost non-stop, and had actually exceeded 7,000 federal coins.
The cost of a virtual emblem is between 100-200 at most, plus some mental energy consumption, which is almost the base price. I didn't expect it to be sold at such a high price!
Heraldry is such a huge profit!
If virtual emblems are so valuable, wouldn’t finished emblems be even more expensive?
Imagining that after successfully transferring to another department, I might be able to get out of poverty and become rich soon, my mood suddenly became much better.
Auckland registered an online store in a low-key manner, anonymously posted the A-level virtual emblem he made, marked a price of 8,000 federal coins, and then closed the webpage neatly.
If this emblem could be sold, it would definitely solve his urgent problem.
After taking a comfortable hot bath and drinking a bottle of nutrient solution, Auckland lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
He really felt a little tired and needed a good sleep to catch up on his sleep.
Auckland was soundly sleeping, completely unaware of how much of a commotion the two things he did tonight had caused.
