This Is a Cheater (Third Update)

In Battle. net, Xi De clapped his hands excitedly, "Autonomous Turret Four Direction Simultaneous Shot!"

Bang bang bang bang!

Four cannon shots rang out in succession, and the sound of air being torn apart came from all four directions Mu Fan at the same time, causing the radar alarm in the cockpit to go off loudly!

Bang bang bang bang!

Less than two seconds later, there were four more consecutive roars.

Each of the Autonomous Turret has a reserve of 50 rounds of ammunition!

Four 92mm autonomous heavy artillery pieces at various angles in each division lock onto the target via radar, enough to block all of the enemy's routes!

That's so insidious!

Mu Fan then realized the other party's sinister intentions.

This SCV-like mech is actually a construction-type mech.

Mu Fan's first task now is to block the four incoming shells.

Mu Fan focused his mind intently, entering a state of Dark Breath, and the flight trajectories and angles of the four shells on the radar instantly entered his mind.

Shield block... feasible!

With a clenched crimson left fist, the inconspicuous retractable shield on his arm suddenly extended.

"Once the enemy is hit in the first round, they will fall into a chain of disadvantages. We can see that this Wild Boar called the mech is already trapped. I'm afraid it won't even be able to withstand the first round of attacks." Lang Ge was explaining eloquently when he suddenly saw the mech's left arm grow into a shield that was more than four meters high.

"Holy crap, is this some kind of cutting-edge technology?"

"What's wrong, Wolf Bro?"

"It's alright, having a shield will only prolong the time."

What came to Mu Fan's mind was the mecha combat skill that Hei had given him at the same time— Shield Defense.

The arrival times of all four shells were already marked in my mind.

His fingers casually brushed across the control panel.

The Wild Boar mech made absolutely no attempt to escape; was it paralyzed with fear?

Xi De's eyes were filled with excitement.

But the next second, the seemingly rough and heavy mech swung its suddenly enlarged shield and began to strike repeatedly along a dazzling trajectory.

Bang bang bang bang!

The imagined explosion never happened...

0.5 seconds later, four bursts of fire appeared thirty meters away from the mecha.

The flying debris had absolutely no impact on a fourth-generation mid-tier mech, except for making it look unsightly.

Two seconds later, four more shells were deflected.

Mu Fan in the cockpit kept uttering numbers.

"11°, 23°, 45°,..."

The shield on the left arm of the mech deflected all the shells from the Autonomous Cannon with subtle tilting angles, combined with maneuvering turns and small-range step changes...

"Holy crap, they're all ricocheting? This guy's cheating!"

Lang Ge jumped up, his two Little Mustache twitching in disbelief.

Yes, in his eyes, Mu Fan is a cheat code; otherwise, how can you explain it?

Are you kidding me? All four 92mm Autonomous Cannon ricocheted!

The four students who were watching the screen with great interest were also quite shocked. However, as newbies, they were quite carefree and started looking at the player named [Shura], seemingly forgetting that the most confused person was actually their comrade-in-arms, Xi De, who was currently on the battlefield!

Yes, Xi De is completely bewildered right now.

This is completely different from the scenario he was training with the AI... The opponent in hell mode is just fast and has a strange route, but they don't just stand here and casually knock away the shells one by one.

The mech he was controlling had even forgotten to activate its Electric Fusion Cannon.

Mu Fan became more and more excited as he blocked the way; this feeling was simply wonderful.

There was absolutely no opportunity for him to train with such perfectly timed shells. He felt his Shield Defense skills improving step by step, and with the rapid increase in proficiency, he felt more and more at ease.

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of the "SCV" with four mechanical arms standing upright over there, and suddenly had a thought: what if he tried to launch the shell over there?

[Wild Boar] One step back and then a sudden horizontal slap.

Bang!

A shell was fired.

Another step across, another horizontal line.

Another shell.

That was awesome!

Mu Fan's eyes widened in disbelief; he actually could do that.

The next second, the mech that had been passively defending suddenly swung its shield and became a blur, as if it had taken a banned drug.

Before Lang Ge could finish his exclamation, he saw that all the cannonballs that were clearly aimed at Mu Fan had hit the motionless [Magma Artillery].

Xi De stared blankly at the barrage of shells raining down on him, his mind still naively thinking before the screen went black.

"Didn't Wolf Bro say this tactic worked well...?"

Yay!

Mu Fan accurately deflected a shell towards the Electric Fusion Cannon of the opposing mech.

The shell shattered the muzzle, causing a secondary explosion in the ammunition compartment.

Boom~

Player [Shura] wins.

A notification sounded, and all four Autonomous Cannon and the barrage of shells disappeared.

Mu Fan excitedly raised his right hand; this was the first time he had truly crushed his opponent!

Now he can finally add another achievement to his record.

After Xi De stepped out of the virtual pod in the second mecha training room, he was still stunned and incredulous. "Wolf Bro, are all the noobs this bad...? I suddenly feel like I'm not cut out for learning mecha."

Seeing the boy's utterly hopeless expression, Lang Ge patted him on the shoulder and said confidently, "You've run into some cheaters, not noobs. Just watch those four. I'll keep teaching you."

Seeing his senior's warm smile, Xi De felt much better and nodded to sit down.

"Lai Mu, you go. You know Cannon King's plan."

"I understand, Wolf Bro, watch me!"

Lai Mu entered Battle. net and decisively chose a mech that looked incredibly sturdy, with legs thicker than its waist and two extra-long cannon barrels on its back. If Mu Fan saw it, he would definitely find that this mech was extremely similar to the [Artillery War God] he had encountered for the first time, but the caliber of this mech's cannons was obviously larger.

That's right, a 165mm cannon with a range of over 15 kilometers, and the power of a single shot is enough to inflict effective damage within a 30-meter radius.

This mech is also sneakily equipped with two drones.

Lai Mu's account nickname, unsurprisingly, is "Lone Wolf Tutoring 02," a name that Lang Ge never believed could be found anywhere else in the academy.

Meanwhile, Mu Fan excitedly withdrew from the internal network battle and immediately chose to play ranked matches. He wanted to continue his good form and was determined to finish the placement matches in one fell swoop today.

There are 5 games left!

"Matched with opponent [Lone Wolf Tutoring 02]".

Upon hearing this notification, Mu Fan was stunned. Had he just encountered 01?

Are these names part of a series?

The simple-minded Mu Fan finally understood Lang Ge's good intentions.

Map of [Border Town]

Once inside the map, the low buildings conveniently block the mech's line of sight, but there are no high points to vantage. This 5-kilometer-long map is probably meant for close-quarters combat, right?

Lai Mu, who entered the map with the message "[Lone Wolf Tutoring 02]", decisively chose to launch his drone.

Beyond-visual-range strike tactics!

Wolf Bro said that killing the opponent when they are blind is what a true warrior does!

Two exquisitely designed drones quickly took off.

Soon a red dot appeared on the radar map of [Cannon King].

"I see you, hehe."

The mech lowered its stance and entered firing mode.

The two cannon barrels were raised high.

Heavy cannon—fire!

Two shockwaves emanated from behind the mech, and two projectiles carrying tremendous kinetic energy were fired from the barrel.

Meanwhile, Mu Fan, piloting his mecha, suddenly heard a strange whistling sound from high above.
