Chapter 197: Jungle Scamper’s Ancestor
The audience wanted more! The video analysis would follow up shortly .
Two battles!
Yuan Long, who was about to leave, felt stunned . Why was the battle still ongoing?
Ella was a little irrational at this point . She had prepared herself before coming here . If they had lost, they would need to first reflect on what went wrong, not enter another battle directly . On her side of things, she had predicted one move ahead, but her opponents had predicted two moves ahead . She should have realized this from the previous battle .
Ella predicted that her opponents would use a control-and-avoid strategy, she also believed that they were capable of it . But her opponents had thought one step further, they had predicted Ella's way of thinking .
This was the difference in consciousness . When both sides were evenly matched in terms of piloting skills, the level of consciousness would become the deciding factor .
The number of VIPs kept growing, this time mainly from the Norton Star and the Immortal Barbarian Star .
What sort of situation was this?
Prince and the others had regained their confidence . They were now calm and collected . They were very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the Immortal Barbarian team .
Another battle was nothing to them .
But the opponents had selected a competitive lineup, this was to say that the previous match was merely a warm-up .
But what was the difference from an official game?
One could ban certain mecha from being used!
When everyone saw the mech that had been banned, their hearts skipped a beat . It couldn't be . . . they targeted Student Skeleton?
Upon seeing this, Solon was overjoyed . Who the f**k do you think I am? Do you think I would be fooled twice?
You can go ahead and ban whatever you want!
On the Immortal Barbarian side, the moment the selection came up, they instantly banned the Wargod No . 1 and the War Emperor Type V . These mecha were obviously important to the team .
Was there anyone that had banned the Wargod No . 1 this year?
Looking at Earth's team . . .
They were very confident, they did not ban any of their opponent's mecha .
"This is being a little too overconfident . " Old Deer frowned . Although they had won the previous battle, 30% of the reason they won was because the opponents made mistakes . And it was obvious that they did not use their full strength . The opponents would not give them a second chance .
Banning the War Emperor affected Prince, but not significantly so . He had other mecha besides that .
Everyone's gazes fell on Skeleton . What was he going to pick?
The mecha library opened .
A stunning array of choices was inside the library; the full collection of CT was available to him to choose from .
Solon gripped his cigar with his teeth . "See that? Everything, including the limited editions! This is what I can do as the president!"
Even the professional players did not possess this sort of extensive mecha collection .
Wang Zheng was also stunned by the amount of mecha . He knew that some additional mecha had been prepared as precaution, but he never expected so many .
In the end, Wang Zheng chose the Jungle Scamper!
The comment section exploded with activity . This mech was the most unpopular of the unpopular choices . Only people who specially trained with it could control it effectively . Was Skeleton going to school Virbius in the use of this mech?
The Immortal Barbarians could not help but sneer . "This kid is too arrogant, he really thinks he can use it effectively . "
Ella looked at her screen coldly . "Don't be careless, this guy is a sneaky one . He clearly intends to agitate use, but we will proceed as usual . "
"Old Deer, do you think that Skeleton has a reason for doing this? Is he trying to provoke his opponents?" Bubbly Foam asked .
Old Deer had a grave expression . "In a way, yes . But the Jungle Scamper is a difficult mech to operate, it is not your run-of-the-mill mech, As we all know, all the contestants will pick a particular style of mecha that is similar to what they are used to . This would be easier for them to adapt to . The Hercules mech is similar to the Wargod No . 1, but this time . . . I can only say that Skeleton finally has an energy shield . "
The commentary on the Immortal Barbarian Star was even more passionate . "The team from Earth actually selected our mech, the Jungle Scamper! Let our Virbius teach them a lesson, not everything can be imitated!"
Norton Star's CT live broadcast room .
"Skeleton from Earth has finally picked the Jungle Scamper . This choice will surely agitate his opponents, but it might not be a wise choice . The Jungle Scamper needs to be used by a calm person; even among the Immortal Barbarian population, only a select few are able to fully master this mech . A person with average skills will not be able to grow accustomed to its performance . He will lose momentum when switching between the different modes . We do not know where Skeleton got his confidence from, but we shall see in this battle . "
Moon's CT live broadcast room .
"My god, Skeleton actually picked the Jungle Scamper! How stylish!"
"Ling Ling, this guy is so cool! He does not give off the vibe of a person from Earth . If he really wins this, I wish to date him!"
The two commentators from the Moon were two beautiful babes .
Actually, even Prince and the others were very curious .
"Skeleton, have you practiced with this mech before?" they asked frankly .
"Of course he has, how else would he know how to use it?" Prince said .
"Nope, this is my first time using it . It feels very interesting," Wang Zheng said .
All of his teammates suddenly became quiet .
Was he for real???
It did not matter now, the battle was about to begin .
Map: Battle to the End .
This was a very meaningful map, and it was picked by Virbius . This map was also targeted towards the opponents .
As this map had a restriction on lasers . After all, in the Milky Way, there were some planets that interfered with the operation of lasers .
At the same time, there were energy resupply ships that provided limited energy supplies .
It was obvious that Virbius had been deeply provoked . This sort of insult must be answered in kind!
Even using lasers to kill her opponents would not pacify her .
Winning or losing was not the main point, the focus was to prove oneself!
The ten mech warriors entered the battlefield .
Upon entering the map, everyone felt that the Immortal Barbarians were too . . . . wretched!
The map used the landscape of the Immortal Barbarian Star!
Could this be any more imposing?!
The Immortal Barbarian Star landscape consisted of rugged terrain filled with multiple craters . The problem with this landscape was that it was considered an irregular landscape, which added considerable difficulty for the mech warriors .
In the history of mankind, there had been several battles surrounding the Immortal Barbarian Star, and these battles had devastated the mech warriors .
They were using the landscape to increase their advantage .
But Prince and the others were professionals, so they had undergone training in this sort of landscape .
"The Immortal Barbarians have offered themselves as a meal," Simon boasted . Having executed the Hexastrike previously, Simon felt highly confident . He had always been adept at covert operations .
"Be careful, they have an advantage, do not be careless . " Prince was the more cautious one .
Hammer and Truth both nodded . The opponents were careless in the previous battle, but that would not be the case this time . It would be a disaster if they were the careless ones this time .
The map forced both teams to battle each other in a narrow lane . Both teams had a ship behind them that could recharge their energy shields . However, there was a limit to the amount of energy available . At the end of the day, the only way to win was to eliminate their opponents .
This sort of mechanic would lengthen the battle's duration, as it allowed the participants to fully display their mastery of their basic skills . One mistake would not cause one side to lose the battle instantly .
It looked like the Immortal Barbarians had made their preparations . This sort of battle was either a win or a loss, there was no luck involved .
"Old Deer, Old Deer . "
"Huh? What?"
Bubbly Foam laughed . "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"What is there to talk about?"
"You always provide commentary before the battle, it feels weird if you don't say anything," Bubbly Foam said, laughing .
Immediately, there was a wave of agreement in the comments section .
"Don't fret, I am observing Skeleton right now . The playstyle of this mech is different from what he usually uses, and I am not sure about his level of understanding of this mech . " Old Deer observed Skeleton with an expert's eye .
"If Skeleton picked it, he must be very confident about his familiarity with the mech," Bubbly Foam said, laughing .
Old Deer shook his head . "It does not appear so . "
Just as Old Deer finished speaking, the Jungle Scamper looked excited . It was as if it had been thrilled by something .
The battle had not begun yet, so what was it excited about?
The Jungle Scamper switched between the beast mode and the semi-beast mode . The semi-beast mode was easier to operate as it sort of resembled a human . The beast mode needed much more practice to accustom to, as it moved on all fours .
If the pilot was not careful, the mech would trip over itself .
Wang Zheng did not trip over himself, but . . . the mech was violently shaking . The human mode only required the pilot to balance the mech, but the beast mode was a different matter . It required the pilot to use both hands and feet to operate all four limbs of the mech . On top of that, there were two alternative ways of moving .
Operating the mech was easier said than done .
The others were stunned . Skeleton was not kidding when he said that this was his first time using the Jungle Scamper .
This sort of heedlessness could be taken as a form of ridicule .
The other team saw this as an insult . How dare Skeleton belittle his opponents .
There were no problems telling if it was real or fake, everyone could tell at a glance . If Skeleton was pretending to use the Jungle Scamper for the first time, the mech's center of gravity would be stable no matter how he tried to fake it . But . . . right now the mech was struggling to hold on to its center of gravity, so everyone could definitely see its pilot struggling to maintain control .
This . . .
"To me, this is daring to push a person's own limit . But Skeleton, do you know that this is a team battle? This battle is even more important than the previous one," Old Dear said earnestly .
Unknowingly, when the battle was against foreigners, Old Deer changed from Black Deer to Beast Deer . Winning or losing was an important matter to him .
His words were not wrong at all, they carried a lot of weight .
"Maybe Skeleton has a plan, you never know," Bubbly Foam said .
"Then I will wait and see . "
"Which reminds me, Old Deer, you were saying something earlier . What will you do if they win this match? Everyone is very curious about this . "
Young Deer gave a carefree smile . "The battle has not ended yet . My reputation is well known in this galaxy, when have I ever said something and not backed it up?"
Just then, Skeleton cheerfully pulled out the Lightning Javelin and injected energy in to it . It was a wonderful feeling . The Jungle Scamper pointed the weapon at to the sky and made a firing pose .
"Skeleton, have you played with the Lightning Javelin before? The weapon's strength decreases if it is not used within the optimal distance," Hammer said . As a support person, he had studied a lot of different mecha types .
"I have never played with it before, only read through the datasheet . But I have thrown a javelin before," Wang Zheng said . Chen Xiu had provided him with a very detailed datasheet, which Wang Zheng studied seriously . Bonehead had also covered all aspects with regards to Wang Zheng's weapons training .
Looked through . . . the datasheet . . . and threw the javelin before . . . what the f**k sort of reply was this?!
Hammer and the others were speechless, but . . . . forget it, all they could do at this point in time was to press on .
The Immortal Barbarians were very conceited about their own weapons expertise, they had a long history after all . Compared to the Earth team's history of weapons expertise?
Was this a challenge to their ancestors?!
