This Game Was Simply Too Unfriendly

Player [Shura], please choose one of the following three mechs to fight:

Fourth-generation fighter jet [Ossified Stone]

Fourth-generation fighter jet [Prototype Iron Ball]

Fourth-generation fighter jet: Wild Boar

The three solitary names crashed into Mu Fan's mind with unparalleled force, and the system didn't even bother to provide a graphical explanation.

He had never encountered a machine with such an imposing name in his world.

Ossified Stone sound more normal and have a greater sense of mystery.

What the heck is that Prototype Iron Ball? You can't imagine players driving a giant iron ball into battle, right?

Wild Boar...

Okay, Mu Fan would never choose a Wild Boar -shaped mecha.

[You have been matched with an opponent. Countdown has begun. Please select an opponent; otherwise, a random opponent will be chosen. 10, 9, 8...]

Hehe, this malicious interface is just as bad as the one from back then, so Mu Fan didn't hesitate to choose the first machine - [Ossified Stone].

Mech [Ossified Stone] selected, countdown 3, 2, 1, 0.

The intranet battle at the Dingchuan Academy has begun!

[Shura] (No rank) vs. [Pao Ni Mei San Qian] (Silver 1 Star).

Mu Fan is currently in a dark space, probably because Battle. net is digitizing this mech called Ossified Stone.

My own ID is naturally "No Rank," but what's that opponent's name? [Pao Ni Mei San Qian]

That's a really mischievous name.

Mu Fan smiled knowingly.

Then the scene officially changes.

He was already inside the mech's cockpit, looking at the simple six-bar mechanical control stick and 167-key control panel in front of Mu Fan.

Then try touching it with your hand.

Wait, this feel... it's so realistic!

No, it's true!

Wearing Helmet, Mu Fan naturally couldn't see that when the scene within the battle network changed, apart from the six-link mechanical control lever and the 167 buttons remaining in the Earth Warrior cockpit where Mu Fan was located, all the buttons, mechanical control levers, and Limb Coordination Instrument in other areas were quietly retracted.

While Mu Fan was touching those buttons in the PO Battle Network, he was actually touching them in real life as well.

This is about abandoning brainwave virtuality, returning to the simple concept that VR technology originated from, and developing it to its extreme.

This is the cockpit simulator where Mu Fan is currently located.

While Mu Fan was still curiously experiencing the unique feel of each key, a violent vibration had already spread through his body.

The Ossified Stone of the organism have arrived.

At this moment, all the screens in the cockpit lit up, and a three-dimensional graphic of the entire aircraft appeared on the left side of Mu Fan's field of vision.

Upon seeing this, Mu Fan blinked hard and then exclaimed incredulously, "What?!"

[Ossified Stone: Rom]

Its appearance is very similar to a silver-white ostrich, with a slender neck extending from its body. On this machine frame, the ostrich's chest is a four-part opening, through which black cannon holes can be vaguely seen.

What left Mu Fan speechless was that it lacked arms, and the wings were simplified into two missile launchers.

Then the legs have a bent, reverse joint design!

This is clearly an ostrich!!

System, if you have such a twisted sense of humor, why didn't you name it "Ossified Stone: Ostrich"?

What is Rom?

Without the presence of Hei, Mu Fan became a complete novice when it came to mecha knowledge.

The mech Fighting Technique he remembered, such as Disordered Folding Step, Savage Collision, and asymmetrical engine starts, seemed completely useless on this mech.

In addition, since there was no coordination device available, Mu Fan started complaining for the first time ever!

The countdown was still on, and Mu Fan continued reading the machine's information.

[Weaponry: Wired Head Beam Emitter, Variable MG Particle Cannon, Interception Weapon Unit (10 MG Particle Cannon, 30 All-Around Missile, 5 Large Anti-Air Missile)]

Mu Fan is now starting to suspect that this is a prank by Hei, but because of Xu Jiang's previous incident of instantly revealing his invisible earpiece, he believes that this is not a prank by Hei.

If it were Black, he would definitely be laughing out loud with an incredibly smug expression right now.

Terrain: Valley Bottom Jungle. Victory condition: The side that eliminates the enemy wins.

Now that they had entered the battle, Mu Fan had no better choice. Without Hei's guidance, his brain was analyzing the characteristics of these weapons at full speed.

In his view, the beam emitter was dispensable, only useful as a surprise weapon with limited damage.

The MG Particle Cannon should be the deep-mounted cannon muzzle at the chest position, which is clearly the main weapon.

The intercept weapon unit should be the close-quarters combat module.

They even have anti-aircraft missiles.

This instantly dampened Mu Fan's enthusiasm, who Mu Fan accept even just a military knife.

If this model were released as a game, it would be strange if it didn't go bankrupt.

That's so unfriendly.

Not only does it not offer any choice of melee weapons, it even eliminates the need for the mech's hands.

This was the most powerless reality for Mu Fan, who was used to piloting humanoid mechs.

Battle begins!

When the four system voices sounded, Mu Fan took his first step, like a newborn baby.

Without hand balance, the expected swaying and falling did not occur; after the initial tremor, the body remained surprisingly stable!

A light shone in Mu Fan's eyes. Without Hei's guidance, this was the first time he had become familiar with this unfamiliar mecha, and it seemed to be going very well.

The reverse joint leg design is probably more focused on jumping efficiency, and it seems that they have really learned the characteristics of ostriches.

So Mu Fan began to quickly try out a series of movement commands. After forming a logical loop, Mu Fan, with his extremely fast reaction speed, started operating the mechanical joystick to make the mecha run quickly almost the instant the system prompted him.

Looking down from above, it clearly looks like a giant ostrich running.

Like a child receiving a toy for the first time, Mu Fan excitedly began to familiarize himself with this unique feeling.

The mecha's appearance was manifested in the fact that its short wings, which carried two missile launchers, flapped twice.

The terrain is Valley Bottom Jungle. The depth may extend the combat space, but the width is insufficient. In other words, he will soon encounter the other side, and then it will be an unavoidable encounter.

Although Mu Fan was unfamiliar with this mecha, it did not hinder his rich and terrifying combat experience.

On the other hand, when Ge Jie's [Artillery War God] appeared, the dense array of cannon barrels was incredibly terrifying to look at.

135mm multi-purpose dual-shoulder cannon, DN Integrated Energy Particle Impact Cannon, 105mm Dual-Arm Rapid-Fire Cannon x2.

Ammunition types: grenade launchers, Incendiary Grenade, Armor-Piercing Grenade, Armor-Piercing Shell, and Cartridge-Type Armor-Piercing Shell.

This is Ge Jie's choice to abandon all defensive modules and almost give up the mech's mobility.

The cannon barrel, covered in porcupine-like spikes, could create a deep crater in the ground with every step it took.

His main artillery piece is the 135mm cannon. Although it is difficult to hit those Sixth Generation Mecha, it can be said to be a powerful weapon against mechs below level five.

The ID [Pao Ni Mei San Qian] was quite famous in the Silver tier of the academy. Although this player was crushed hundreds of times, it did not stop him from pursuing his goals relentlessly!

Ge Jie excitedly scanned the surrounding scene.

"It's actually Valley Bottom Jungle. Although visibility is affected, this is practically a textbook demonstration of my carpet bombing tactics."

The opposing player's name is Shura?

"Is this someone's alt account? The name is so cringeworthy. Let me fix your cannon." Ge Jie's signature lewd smile reappeared on his face.
