Chapter 11 The first official battle
After getting the mecha, Mu Chen went to the training ground to adapt to it for half an hour, and then made some adjustments to the Windrunner's control system according to his own habits.
Windrunner is not tall, and is smaller than the N62 overall. It has a slender body and flexible movements.
When it is completely still, the paint color on the body will change accordingly according to the surrounding environment, giving people a very strange feeling.
Mu Chen was very satisfied with this new mecha, especially compared with the previous N62. The surging power and lightning speed gave him an instant sense of satisfaction.
Mecha is indeed a man’s romance!
During the adaptation process, Mu Chen took some time to study the Windrunner's painting and the newly added optical stealth system. These were things that were not available on the previous N62.
As a result, he discovered that the Windrunner's painting is actually a kind of optical camouflage. When stationary, it will slowly adjust its color according to the surrounding environment to achieve the effect of visual deception. If it is combined with the optical stealth system equipped on the mecha, This will greatly speed up the process.
In addition, this coating also has a certain energy shielding effect, but it can only take effect when the mecha is stationary. As long as the mecha engine is started, the energy radiation generated is not what this simple coating can do. Can be covered.
Although the invisibility effect is not strong, Mu Chen is satisfied enough. How much more powerful do you want from the free gift?
After coming out of the training ground, Muchen didn't waste any time and started his ranking journey directly.
Competitive mode, personal ranking, start matching!
Soon, Muchen's opponent for the first battle came out.
ID: Flash Boy
Record: 3 wins, 69 losses
Winning rate: 4%
War zone ranking: 30325368
Driving mecha: Hercules I entry-level combat mecha
I don't know if thicker armor can bring people more security. Mu Chen has encountered a total of two opponents since entering the game, and both of them were driven by Hercules.
They are brothers who are ranked below 30 million. Although this opponent's winning rate seems to be better than Mu Chen's less than 1%, it does not change the fact that this is a bad match.
Originally, this was just a normal duel between rookies. Who wins and who loses basically depends on God's will, but Mu Chen's arrival changed everything.
The randomly chosen map for this battle was a jungle scene, with a length and width of less than five kilometers. In individual qualifying matches, this was a typical small map.
Neither of them concealed anything, and started the mecha engine as soon as they entered the battlefield.
At the same time that the mecha's sensing system sensed the opponent, the two mechas roared at the same time and rushed towards each other.
The difference is that Windrunner still needs to constantly avoid the dense trees everywhere on the map, while Hercules relies on his height, weight, and thick armor to rush all the way, arbitrarily smashing the trees blocking the road directly, and in the woods A straight road was created.
Two minutes later, both mechas saw each other in their field of vision, and the battle officially began.
Mu Chen saw the familiar rocket launcher in Hercules' hand and almost couldn't resist the urge to shoot it.
Fortunately, he woke up in time. His current goal was to familiarize himself with the mecha's regular fighting methods, not to kill it instantly with one blow.
The distance between the two mechas was now more than 1,200 meters. Mu Chen watched a rocket flying slowly towards him, easily moved two steps to the side, and then started the laser launcher's continuous fire attack. He calmly attacked Hercules at a rate of one shot per second.
At the flying speed of the rocket, at the current distance, it would take at least 4 seconds to attack Mu Chen. In such a long time, if Windrunner moved at full strength, he would be able to avoid a distance of hundreds of meters.
Therefore, Mu Chen was not in a hurry at all. He controlled Windrunner and Hercules to keep the distance between them, and continuously used laser transmitters to attack various parts of Hercules' body.
For a while, there were constant roars and fires, and the woods were blown down by the shock waves caused by the rocket explosions. The battle looked extremely fierce.
But Mu Chen felt extremely bored. If he hadn't needed to verify some previous speculations, the battle would have ended long ago.
He really couldn't understand why some people liked a flashy weapon like a rocket launcher. Is it just for its super high attack power of 8,000 points?
But no matter how high the attack is, it must hit the person first.
The rocket launcher's clumsy way of using it and its slow flying speed were of limited use in mecha combat, but it had nothing to do with him.
He had only learned about the Hercules mecha through data before, but he always felt that this understanding was too superficial, so he took the opportunity of this battle to continue testing it.
The attack power of the multi-function laser launcher's burst mode is only 1,000. In theory, eight shots are needed to hit the same place to break through Hercules' defense, and the ninth shot can cause effective damage.
But Mu Chen did not do this. Each of his shots landed at a different point. If you look closely, you will find that the laser launcher's attacks are evenly distributed on Hercules' head and various movable joints.
One round ends and the next round continues.
After fighting for a while, after firing four rockets, the controller of Hercules seemed to realize that he was now too far away from Windrunner, and there was no way to hit the flexible Windrunner.
So he began to control the mecha, the engine roared, and he quickly rushed in the direction of Windrunner.
It's a pity that Hercules' speed is too slow. The maximum speed of 145 kilometers per hour is like a snail compared to Windrunner. No matter how hard he tries, he can't get closer to Windrunner.
Knowing that there was no way he could catch up with the Windrunner on the other side, after firing two more rockets like he was venting his anger, Hercules stopped his advance and began to move left and right, trying to avoid Windrunner's attack.
But with Hercules's turtle speed, coupled with this dodge method that can be seen through at a glance, Mu Chen was not surprised at all.
The Windrunner, who was wandering in the woods, ignored Hercules' efforts and shot directly at the connection between its left arm and torso. Then he saw sparks flashing at the place where it was hit, and a wave of fire erupted. Black smoke.
"Six shots..."
Mu Chen, who was controlling Windrunner, was counting secretly. He was about to try another place, but when he fired his shot, it unexpectedly missed.
The Hercules suddenly disappeared from his sight. He was feeling strange when a message appeared in his mind.
"The player Flash Boy voluntarily surrenders, the battle is over!"
"Congratulations to player Wooden Man 123 for winning this battle!"
"Victory in the battle, get 20 machine combat points!"
"Victory in the battle, the battle zone ranking improved by 18 places, and the current ranking is 30325417 in the earth zone!"
"The battle is over. The battlefield will close in 10 seconds. Continue the game/exit the game?"
Mu Chen finally realized that the other party had admitted defeat.
Are all players of this game this realistic?
But after thinking about the 6 rockets fired by the Hercules mecha in this battle, he understood.
That was 60 aircraft combat points, and they were just gone.
Not to mention that in this battle, this Hercules was hit by him so many times. I hope that when repairing the mecha, this shining boy will not vomit blood!
While choosing to continue the game, Mu Chen still felt a little regretful. Due to copyright reasons, the qualifying matches could not be broadcast live, which caused him to lose a wave of income.
