The beam sword went "BIUBIUBIU"...

Missiles went "BOOM BOOM BOOM"...

Yu Fei and his team fired...

Guo Yi dodged again...

In the end, only the streets and houses suffered damage.

On the projection, the spectators were speechless and heartbroken: Yu Fei and his team were too pathetic!

Because on the projection in front of them, they could see everyone's expressions and their cockpits.

Yu Fei and his team, sweating profusely and mentally hyped, kept firing at Guo Yi.

It was as if their persistence had meaning, and there was a sliver of hope to turn the tables!

Meanwhile, Guo Yi looked bored, yawning, constantly appearing and then disappearing.

Sigh, he could only play around bored, in a dull and uninteresting way...

The entire scene and rhythm made it seem like Yu Fei's team had overwhelming firepower, forcing Guo Yi to constantly dodge and preventing him from counter-attacking.

In reality, all of this was under Guo Yi's control.

Because as Guo Yi appeared for the Nth time, Yu Fei's team habitually attacked him collectively.

As a result, not a single beam appeared, nor did a single rocket.

Guo Yi stood quietly at the street corner, looking at the motionless gun barrels opposite him.

Yu Fei's team was stunned, then stiffly turned their gaze to one place: the weapon monitoring system.

No ammo!?

No ammo!

Out of ammo!

Guo Yi loosened his neck, clenched his hands, and then pushed the control stick.

Following that, the blue Zaku pulled out an axe from its back and placed the back edge of the axe on its shoulder with a bent arm, looking at Yu Fei's team slightly sideways.

Yu Fei's team was stunned and quickly pulled out daggers, beam swords, and other melee weapons.

Afterward, Yu Fei's team's expressions returned to normal, and they slowly moved towards Guo Yi.

One step.

Two steps.

N steps.

The six of them approached within three hundred meters of Guo Yi.

Then they collectively stopped their movements...

Because the blue Zaku, carrying an axe in one hand, raised its beam rifle with the other.

The faint muzzle, in Yu Fei's team's eyes at that moment, was so dazzling.

It was almost blinding them.

It made their hearts stop beating.

"Beep~ External communication~ Accept connection~"

A communication request suddenly sounded in Yu Fei's team's cockpits.

"Accept."

Everyone bitterly agreed to the request.

Then, Guo Yi appeared on their screens with a bored expression.

"Accept your punishment, you idiots!"

The moment Guo Yi appeared, he said to them plainly.

As the words fell, the blue Zaku's muzzle began to flash with a faint glow.

"Bang~ Clang~ Bang~ Clang~ Bang..."

As Guo Yi spoke, Yu Fei's team's world began to shake violently, and their vision was filled with red lights. The piercing alarm sounds even caused them temporary deafness.

Guo Yi used his beam rifle to slice Yu Fei's team's Zaku into spherical shapes.

Except for the cockpit, all five limbs were blown off.

Then, Guo Yi, in a fit of madness, kicked their cockpits with his feet, treating them like balls.

This caused Yu Fei's team to feel as if they were stuffed into a tumble dryer, constantly flipping and tumbling.

Yes, that's right, the virtual cockpits were 5D.

In the simulation battle, the centrifugal force experienced during attacks and maneuvers was synchronized in the virtual cockpits.

After a long while, Yu Fei and the others' cockpit was finally kicked open by Guo Yi—no, it was played open.

They were finally free.

When everyone carried them out, Yu Fei and the others almost foamed at the mouth.

Not only were their custom black training suits soaked in sweat, but they were also stained yellow in patches.

"Are you still alive?"

Guo Yi looked at the five sprawled out like corpses and nudged them with his foot, mockingly saying with cold indifference.

"..."

Everyone shivered, ultimately falling silent.

"Hmph, three months. Even a pig trained for three months would know how to climb a tree!"

Guo Yi looked at the eleven silent individuals, furious, and cursed loudly, his saliva spraying directly onto Geng Jihui's face: "First of all, as the captain, do you even understand Gundam combat?

You don't think Gundam combat is the same as your real-person combat, do you!?

Haven't you discussed this normally?

You haven't discussed it, so have you watched the anime or read the manga?

Not even that?

Are you waiting for everything to be taught to you?

What do you need your brains for?

Huh?

Speak!"

Guo Yi's words caused Geng Jihui to lower his head in shame, remaining silent.

At the same time, upon seeing Guo Yi start his tirade, everyone else immediately fell into formation.

Even the five sprawled on the ground struggled to their feet, and the entire group stood at attention obediently.

Guo Yi looked at everyone ready to be scolded, and the five who were barely standing, shaking their heads helplessly, and said with a soft heart, "Sit down, everyone.

Since we're all here, let's summarize this battle together."

After a pause, Guo Yi looked at Old Gao: "They will be responsible for your basic training from now on, but only after the new training suits are ready."

Then Guo Yi looked at Geng Jihui again: "You too, you can discard these old training suits. Wait until the new ones come out."

"Yes!"

Geng Jihui and Old Gao replied loudly together.

After that, Guo Yi rubbed his temples and called out to the eleven of them again: "You've all finished fighting, and some of you have watched parts of it. Let's start with the five of you, Leng Feng..."

Originally, Guo Yi had planned to come here and tell Geng Jihui and the others to lead the basic training.

However, in his anger, he wasted time scolding them, and then, in his dazed state, he foolishly led them in a summary.

This plan had deviated quite significantly, forcing Guo Yi to push forward now.

What a pain!

But a man's chosen path, he must walk it to the end, even if he has to crawl...

"We overlooked ammunition monitoring," the five of Leng Feng exchanged glances, and then Yu Fei, representing the five, began their summary: "We usually do mental calculations for ammunition, but Gundams are energy-based weapons, and their quantity changes with power output.

So, when we got carried away in the fight, we neglected ammunition monitoring.

This mistake is the biggest and the most inexcusable."

"Mm, anything else?"

Guo Yi nodded and asked.

"Anything else?"

The group of five looked at each other, unsure what Guo Yi was specifically referring to.

"Sigh, forget it. You guys watch the replay first."

Fine, Guo Yi immediately saw a real-life demonstration of the saying: "The onlooker sees clearly, while the participant is blinded!"

If he continued with Geng Jihui and the others summarizing, it would probably be like squeezing toothpaste. It would be better to let them watch from beginning to end first.

Guo Yi got up and left, leaving everyone to re-examine the battle from an observer's perspective.

As for himself...

His throat was dry, so he went to drink some water and take care of some physiological needs.

When Guo Yi returned, everyone had just finished watching.

After all, with Doggy around, they could be notified in advance to time it perfectly, never being late.

However, besides Guo Yi, there were others present.

Dozens of logistics team leaders, their faces filled with happiness, anticipation, and excitement…

It turned out that when Guo Yi was peeing, he happened to chat with some logistics personnel and casually mentioned, "I'll be lecturing the reserve crew members later."

As a result, everyone in logistics knew that Guo Yi was about to start his lecture.

The logistics team leaders used their privileged status to secure spots in the classroom for the lecture. Meanwhile, other logistics personnel could only watch in frantic excitement through the Doggy broadcast, which was being projected onto the big screen for an online class.

After all, the virtual Gundam cockpit training room wasn't very large.

Ultimately, it turned into this scene…

Dozens of logistics team leaders, eighty-one reserve crew members, and over a hundred people crammed into the room, waiting for Guo Yi to begin his lecture.
