Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 915

Chapter 915: 915

“Wang Zheng, look at the masterpiece we’ve made for you . We went through great pains in the process . ”

Even Butcher could not resist milking the moment . A black mecha drew their eye . It was a deep black that held just a gleam of light . It gave one a cold, murderous aura . The entire mecha’s surface was covered in runes, like an Atlantean mecha, but even denser . Wang Zheng was also a mecha engineer himself, and had researched the runic mecha before . This mecha’s runes were clearly different . The runes were even more closely packed, and the mecha was a shade larger than the average fighter mecha . The entire hull had an oppressive feel, as though proud and aloof, a snide, disdainful feel to it . Just sitting there, the mecha would exude pressure on the opponent .

Butcher was very satisfied that Wang Zheng and the rest were satisfied . He had truly expended much of his energy on it, but wished that the lad Wang Zheng would use it well to achieve great deeds in the future .

Zhang Shan’s saliva was overflowing . He pounced over, fondling the mecha’s surface . “D*mn, d*mn, dayumm! This feel is the best!”

Wang Zheng quickly pulled Zhang Shan away . “Your saliva, stop spraying my fighting partner with it!”

“D*mn, don’t be like this . I’m just copping a feel, not like it’s a girl!” Zhang Shan grumbled . D*mn, as a fighter, if he could not obtain one of these, his life would be meaningless .

Lie Xin’s breath was taken away as well . They were all ace pilots . Lie Xin herself had used tens of mecha, but none could compare to the one in front of her .

Once one’s physical skills and Ability X reached a certain level, a mecha’s capabilities would become extremely deadly . Those like Wang Zheng and Olivios were examples . When the pilot’s abilities exceeded the amount that the mecha could withstand, they were unable to fully exert themselves . And Olivios’ mecha had crumbled first due to the difference in usage . Wang Zheng, as a mecha engineer, could sense a mecha’s state . In battle, especially long battles, he was extremely conscious of this . Sometimes, he backed off not because of the opponent’s attack, but because it was more efficient in preserving the mecha . And Olivios could not match him on this point . His considerations centered around fighting, and tended out of habit to use the strongest possible moves to suppress the opponent . After all, he was strong . But the mecha had not been up to it .

But if one had such a super mecha, it was a completely different story . This runic mecha could definitely withstand any operation from the pilot . This was the best mecha .

Of course, the cost of creating such a mecha could easily outfit a squad of 100 people . The cost was astronomical .

“Wang Zheng, you know the basics of using it . It’s not too different from the Atlantean runic mechas . The key is that we’ve added material G . It doesn’t affect Ability X usage, but you must take special care as to the distribution of ability . When using the runic energy, a huge drain appears . If you add on Ability X, it could easily be twice or thrice the usual strain . As to exactly how you must portion your energy, you’ll get used to it once you train . ”

“Old Butcher, can I test it now?”

“Well, of course . Why else did you think I brought you over? Once you’re familiar with it, we’ll arrange for a fight with an abyss Zerg . Everyone’s waiting to watch that . You better not darken the name of Elite Academy X . ” Butcher chuckled .

Wang Zheng was about to say something, but Zhang Shan interrupted him . “Don’t worry . Even with a normal mecha Wang Zheng could finish off these stinky worms . D*mn, Wang Zheng, we’re such close friends . You have to let me have a go later . ”

Butcher laughed . “A runic mecha is customized, and you cannot use it . Unless Wang Zheng no longer uses it . Then we’ll change the starting sequence . ”

Elite Academy X took the security of these runic mechas very seriously . Such super weapons could not be fooled around with .

Zhang Shan had a deep look of envy . D*mn, looked like it would take hard work to get one for himself . He vowed to make it his life goal to do so .

Lie Xin was thinking the same thing . She had not imagined that a runic mecha would be this different . But that showdown’s fight had indeed been intense .

Wang Zheng walked beside the mecha, switching on his Skylink signal . The mecha promptly lit up, and the runes charged with energy . The translucent hull door shot out a beam of light which enshrouded Wang Zheng . The cockpit door revolved inwards, bringing Wang Zheng in, and sealing in an instant .

Zhang Shan was dissatisfied . “Old Butcher, must you be so advanced . You’ve robbed my life of meaning, to put so much gimmick even in the cockpit door .

F*ck, so much technology just on the door . D*mn, how would the other pilots feel, having to crawl into their own cockpits?

Butcher laughed . “Super soldiers must be received like super soldiers . Don’t blab now . You work hard, and fight for your own in the future . ”

“Ah! There’s still a chance?”

“But of course . As the runic technology matures, it will definitely spread among super soldiers . Within the Saruman Snake Battle Team, your agility is the best, and your reaction to danger is also excellent . Just that your body is far from sufficient as a super soldier . Given your present condition, if you used this mecha at full capability, you’d collapse within 5 minutes . ” Butcher said .

Zhang Shan blushed . How embarrassing, for his own weaknesses to be called out even by an outsider . He could not help being the weak spot on Saruman Snake Battle Team . Although his intellect had helped him to turn the tables time after time, but the problem still existed . And intellect was not a cure-all . But to improve his physical condition could only improve so fast . It was not for a lack of effort, but he could not shake off the feeling that he was not improving . Wang Zheng could take him out with 1 punch, and not need a second .

Lie Xin was already fully concentrating on the mecha . BOOM…

The mecha floated .

Zhang Shan’s jaw dropped . “Levitating body?”

Lie Xin stared at Zhang Shan like he was an idiot . “You don’t say? What’s important is how well it holds up in mid-air battles . ”

“Keke, runic mechas use the latest energy technology, and can support complete battles in the air, including space situations . But the air battles and space conditions require the pilot to adjust . Compared to specialized ground-based mechas, the mecha’s innate adaptability pales a little . ” Butcher said .

In truth, this was already pretty game-changing . The rougher the terrain one had to travel, the more complicated it was, and the capability would definitely suffer . Increased piloting difficulty was a given, otherwise it would not be a mecha for a super soldier .

Lie Xin’s heart was burning as well . Blazing, and she did not know why . Recently, it was difficult for her to keep her emotions in check . Even she had realized that she was prone to rage recently… Agitated . Could she really be thinking about men?

What was this!

Wang Zheng did not immediately take off . He was feeling and savoring it . This… it was really too awesome a feeling . Wang Zheng could not resist swearing . This mecha’s interior used the purest material G . It was incomparable!
