Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

When it launched, the Wargod's Covenant galaxy finale gained great popularity in the Milky Way Alliance . Together with numerous young girls' participation, the finale every four years became one of the top ten most viewed programs in the galaxy

It couldn't be helped; young people decided the mainstream culture .

In every battle, based on their performance, the winner is awarded points on a scale of 1 to 10, and the loser receives a deduction of 1 to 5 points . When a player reaches 1,000 points, he or she will be able to fight in the promotion battle . If the battle is a success, he or she will advance to become a bronze player, and at the same time earn the right to compete in the ladder tournament .

Professionally speaking, players who reach this point are finally not beginners anymore .

Players are divided into five levels according to their strength: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond .

The strongest ten diamond players on each planet are known as the kings .

You have to know that even though a planet has only ten of these people, their influence is almost on par with idols and celebrities .

As for Yan Xiaosu, although he was always bragging in front of Wang Zheng, he had in fact not even received the title of inexperienced beginner .

The 1,000 points promotion battle is very important because the moment the player loses, he or she receives a direct deduction of 50 points and will have to re-accumulate that amount again . In order to aboid this, opportunistic people will hire a master for help . The prime example being Yan Xiaosu .

Xie Yuxin was another one of Wang Zheng's and Yan Xiaosu's friends . He was totally different from the both of them . Xie Yuxin had a genetic score of 90, and although his name sounded very feminine, he had a cool and handsome appearance . A lot of people did not understand, how could a person like Xie Yuxin be in the company of people like Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu . It simply made him look low-class .

Currently at Brothers Net Cafe .

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait for a little while . My brothers will be here very soon . " Yan Xiaosu was busy apologising .

"Tall-Handsome-Rich, hurry up, we are paying by the minute . "

"I understand, thank you very much!"

Yan Xiaosu couldn't afford to be disrespectful, he had gone through a lot of trouble to hire these three bronze level players to help him through this hurdle .

Initially, it was settled that Xie Yuxin was to join in . Apart from being handsome, this guy was also capable . The only reason why he had not gotten promoted was because he played very little .

"It doesn't matter if that person does not know how to play, just let him stay in the base . "

"I understand . Don't worry, Sir, I will make it clear to him . "

The three people on the video screen nodded . Three bronze level players could easily abuse five beginners .

This difference in strength was like the heavens and the earth .

CT was easy to pick up but difficult to master . It had no physical burden, and to operate it well required one to possess half the capabilities of a formal pilot .

Wang Zheng arrived after a while . He only had some basic understanding regarding CT . Even if one had never tried it before, he or she must have witnessed others play it, Wang Zheng included .

"Boss, you are still the one I can rely on most at times like these . Hurry now, this stage is yours . Go in and register a number; the captain will give his commands soon . "

These helpers were very expensive, and they charged by the minute, so Yan Xiaosu didn't dare to delay any further .

Wang Zheng walked into the simulation cockpit . Needless to say, it looked similar . No wonder so many people liked it . He put on the apparatus consisting of a head ring, two wrist and ankle rings, and suddenly a burst of light filled his eyes and then in front of him appeared a lady with unearthly beauty .

CT's game guide . She was very adorable and nice . It was said that a lot of male players were smitten by this beautiful lady .

"Welcome to Wargod's Covenant . Please confirm your ID and choose the mech warrior that you need . "

In front of Wang Zheng's eyes appeared five shiny mech warriors . He knew that they were not real, but Student Wang was still overwhelmed with awe .

As for the name? Wang Zheng suddenly smiled . I'll call myself Skeleton, then!

Beginner players were provided five types of armor:

Demon Wolf Type V (Assassin)

Beast Type 3 (Tank)

Bata Type 5 (Warrior)

Hunter Type 3 (Sniper)

Wargod No . 1 (Optional Weapons)

The Demon Wolf and Beast were beast-type series . The Demon Wolf was extremely flexible, suitable for hilly and other complex terrain; it was played as an assassin . The Beast was extremely sturdy, specifically used to break fortresses . Bata and the Hunter were humanoid-type mecha . Bata was a balanced warrior and it was also the military's most commonly used training mech . It had already been developed to the current fifth generation . The Hunter was a sniper type, excelling at concealment and sniping from a long distance .

Wargod No . 1 was a humanoid mech specially used by novices . There was nothing special about it . It was easily understood by the novices and that was it . The weapons that were available to be chosen from were a titanium knife and laser guns . They were the most common variants used by novices who used them to battle with the computer mecha .

"Get that beginner to choose quickly . Don't waste too much time," a voice said . ID: Mad Warrior . His main account was a bronze grade 2 . It was the highest among the three bronze-level players, and his temper was also the worst .

Yan Xiaosu quickly nodded . "Boss, any choice will do; we just need you inside to fill the number of players . "

Wang Zheng originally planned to understand more first, but seeing Yan Xiaosu being so anxious, he just chose Wargod No . 1 . That name sounded the coolest .

After a flash of light, the five mecha on their team appeared . A small window displayed the information of the other four teammates .

Yan Xiaosu's ID was Tall-Rich-Handsome, unranked, Beast Type-3, a thick skinned, ferocious, assault mech . However, mobility was its weakness . Yet, given Student Yan's cowardly character, this was not surprising .

Wang Zheng was using Xie Yuxin's account . This account's ID was Xie Yuxin . Needless to say given this guy's character of consistency, he ended up using his own name .

The other three players' profile pictures had a bronze light around it . This was a symbol of their identity .

ID: Mad Warrior, Demon Wolf Type V

ID: Just love bullying beginners, Bata Type V

ID: Never Admit Defeat, Hunter Type 3

All three of them were the helpers that Yan Xiaosu hired with money . There was no doubt that their captain was Mad Warrior .

He had already gone through these sorts of promotion battles a few times . Basically, as long as they played it safe, there won't be a problem . The three of them were responsible for doing the fighting, the other two rookies only needed to follow behind to finish up the robots .

But… . . all three of them were dumbfounded when they saw Wang Zheng's choice of mech .

"Holy s**t, dude, why is that guy using Brittleskin? He must be crazy!" Mad Warrior said, totally annoyed .

"What is a Brittleskin?" Wang Zheng asked, totally ignoring how angry Mad Warrior was . Wang Zheng was extremely curious . This was the first time that he was in such a situation .

A few people had silent expressions . "From under which rock did you crawl out from? F**k! Later on, while you are inside the fortress, don't come out, don't say anything, just stay inside . "

"Tall-Handsome-Rich, the difficulty of survival is high, so double our payment!" Mad Warrior said .

Yan Xiaosu wiped his sweat . "No problem . Thank you, Sirs, I'm really sorry to have troubled you . "

Student Yan was too anxious . He had forgotten that Wang Zheng had never touched these kinds of things, so he quickly gave Wang Zheng an explanation on it .

Although the name Wargod No . 1 may have sounded awesome, it had no use in combat . It was not that this mech wasn't good at all; its performance was actually acceptable . Its offensive and defensive capabilities were balanced, but the biggest problem was that the mech had no energy shields and no protective armor . It was equivalent to fighting while totally naked, completely unsuited for brawling . If he was not careful, he would definitely end up as cannon fodder .

In team mode, it was five against five, and each side had a fortress . The forts would regularly produce robots to attack the opposing team . The key to winning was to destroy the other team's fortress .

In free matching, you could invite your friends to help you, but no one knew who their opponents would be; it was entirely up to luck .

The five opponents appeared . Wang Zheng didn't give any crap about the scornful gazes; he couldn't describe his feelings right now . He never would have thought that the game would feel so realistic . No wonder so many people were attracted!

The countdown to the battle began .

Ten…nine…three…two…one .

With a flash of light, everyone entered the battlefield . Everything just felt like reality . His four teammates all prepared to fight, but Wang Zheng, however, was just like an infant .

He dreamt about piloting mecha all the time, but he had never thought that he could fulfil his dream in this way . Wang Zheng carefully took one step out .

Dong…

The absolutely visceral feeling of the mech stepping onto the ground reverberated around him . Wang Zheng looked up to the sky, truly feeling like shouting .

This felt so f**king great! No wonder Yan Xiaosu could be so obsessed!

By now the other four mecha had already marched out . The three bronze players were leading while Yan Xiaosu stayed in the middle to bring up the rear . Yan Xiaosu was also excited .

Only now did they remember that they had forgotten about Wang Zheng .

On the screen, Wang Zheng was moving Wargod No . 1's arm, raising his head, twisting his ankle, slowly taking each step .

Mad Warrior and his friends noticed Wang Zheng's situation too . "Tall-Handsome-Rich, which kindergarten is this lovely baby from?"

Yan Xiaosu held back his anger . He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't offend them, especially because he was an officer from the Hunter Legion .

"Heh, Sir, my bro is here for the first time . Please forgive him . "

Those three people had accepted Yan Xiaosu's money, meaning they needed to solve his problem, so they had no right to mad . But in fact, the three of them felt resentment too . If the other beginner had some idea on how to play, he might've been able to help relieve some of the burden . But as it was now, it was equivalent to their team being without fifth player .

The opponents were pushing forward too . Given Yan Xiaosu's experience, the opponents matched against them wouldn't be too unskilled . However, needing to fight against three experienced players, the opponents would likely still have to concede .

Wang Zheng suddenly sped up . The mech shook suddenly and almost toppled over, but inside the cockpit, Wang Zheng bursted out laughing like a child finding his favourite toy .

Even though this wasn't a real mech, Wang Zheng couldn't help but be fascinated .

On the other side, the robots were fighting the cannon fodder from the castle . Their cannons rumbled vigorously and flames spat out in every direction .

In the rear, Wang Zheng was learning to walk just like a toddler .

Wang Zheng didn't follow them forward . Since his task was to stay here, then he would stay here . In the future, if he had more spare time, he would play this . Ever since he had been abused by Skeleton, Wang Zheng had learned to be more relaxed about things . You should just enjoy life while you can .

As they were capturing the middle lane, a big fight broke out in the centre of the battlefield . The communications were blaring with Mad Warrior's reprimands .

"Tsk, there is an expert on that side . Everyone, be careful!"

Mad Warrior was a professional . They had to win . After all, this would affect their reputation, and reputation was important when doing business, because it spreads by word of mouth .

Yan Xiaosu's veins were pumping, they had actually encountered opponents of the same level . This had turned into a hard-fought battle . But he did not believe that the opponents were able to spend as much money him .

Indeed, the opposing team only hired two, but the rest of the players' skills were better than Yan Xiaosu's, and they had more people .

There was chaotic fighting in the middle . Yan Xiaosu's laser gun fired off a fierce shot when the alarm suddenly sounded .

"Tall-Handsome-Rich, retreat quickly! You're out of position," shouted Mad Warrior, but it was too late .
