Author: [ Collect this chapter ] [Complain]Underground Mecha Arena
　　Mu Chen didn't sleep well that night.

　　After high-intensity operation of the mecha, the pain caused by overload on the hands worsened late at night, and his dreams were chaotic. Mu Chen was half asleep and half awake until the early morning, when a burst of fire broke into the dream scene.

　　The mecha operating platform exploded in front of me, with explosive sparks emitting, and the metal fragments were violently thrown out by the force of the explosion.

　　This was the last scene Shen Yi saw before losing consciousness.

　　The new mecha he was testing had an accident. The wiring burned, and an explosion from the inside knocked him completely off the operating chair.

　　When he regained consciousness, he was lying on a bed in a small private clinic, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of low-quality medicinal water.

　　A serious explosion occurred in the mecha, and the pilot bore the brunt. Fortunately, the driver's protective suit protected Shen Yi from most of the damage. Despite this, the palms and arms closest to the operating table were still seriously injured. Shen Yi fell into coma due to the shock wave of the explosion and was unconsciously sent to an unlicensed private clinic for surgery.

　　On the first night after the operation, Shen Yi couldn't sleep. The severe pain and physical fatigue after the injury were torn back and forth. He closed his eyes and felt someone sitting beside his hospital bed.

　　"Xiaoyi." The man thought he was still asleep and placed a kiss on his eyebrow. "I'm sorry."

　　His voice was extremely hoarse. "It was because I didn't have time..."

　　He stopped mid-sentence.

　　"I have to go." He said, "Your hand... let Sides help you transfer to the central hospital for another operation."
　　"I have to go... Xiaoyi, I'm sorry."

　　Sides didn't Come.

　　Shen Yi lay in a hospital bed in a private clinic for two days and was forcibly discharged before he fully recovered. He wanted to have another operation, but the medical fees at the central hospital were beyond Shen Yi's affordability.

　　He walked through the streets and found a manor. The gate of the manor was closed, and the communication device projected a woman in a black dress in front of him. Her expression was cold and angry, and she said in a suppressed voice, "Do you still want to see him?! Didn't he suffer enough from you! The position he was about to join was gone, and a large sum of money was paid in compensation... You still have Are you looking for him?!"

　　Shen Yi couldn't help but tremble all over. He felt angry and aggrieved in his heart, but his strong inferiority prevented him from raising his head in front of that person's mother.

　　The whole arm, including the palm, was in excruciating pain.

　　Shen Yi lowered his head and gritted his teeth tightly. His voice was very low, more like he was defending himself, "This accident is not my responsibility. My hands...me too..." The
　　woman in the projection Hearing nothing, he cut off the communication.

　　Thunder rumbled.

　　Mu Chen opened his eyes amid the thunder.

　　He blinked, feeling a little sore in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

　　The light of lightning passed through the cracks in the curtains and fell into a white light on the floor. Mu Chen lay on the bed, raising his hands that were feeling more and more painful in the dark, and murmured, "Shen Yi. Have you met a scumbag?" "

　　That can't be your Bai Yueguang... He Are you a mecha designer?"

　　In the dark night, no one answered.

　　Mu Chen only did physical training in the villa's gym for several days, until he felt that his hand had recovered without any problems, so he selected a few more players using Leah as a reference.

　　To prevent his ranking from soaring too quickly and causing trouble, Mu Chen was very cautious in his choices. His ranking did not rise quickly and he had just reached the early 300th place. But as a ranked player, he inevitably faced his first game as the challenged party.

　　"Today is the challenge for M as the champion!"

　　The crowd was noisy in the venue, and the rain of money kept falling. The host shouted at the top of his voice, "The one who challenges M is the yellow vest who has just been promoted from 350 to 325. His special mecha, the Hook-tailed Wasp, is a rare aerial mecha that supports long-term aerial endurance. Ah! Look! What a terrifying form this mecha has!" The

　　original finger-sized bee has been enlarged into a Nearly two stories in height. The body parts of the mecha are small, and its two mechanical wings flap rapidly, making a terrifying buzzing sound. Thanks to its shape design, this mecha can move at high speeds in the air. Its huge round eyes are embedded with sophisticated instruments, allowing it to capture faster-moving objects than ordinary mechas.
　　Its six legs are equipped with sensors, which allow it to more accurately capture changes in the surrounding energy field and airflow, and flexibly avoid the opponent's attacks. The end of the abdomen carries a huge downward hook. Each section of the hook can move and adjust its direction flexibly. The tail of the hook is connected to a powerful laser cannon.

　　"This is probably the mecha that is best at bombarding opponents at high altitudes in our mecha arena! Its superb high-altitude endurance is far beyond that of the A2-C67 driven by M. Yes, our M used the A2C class again today. Mecha, because the advanced A2T mecha has been loaned out by Mr. Hurricane. Poor M who didn't sign a contract... This A2-C67 has brought too many shackles to his performance!" The

　　roaring laser cannon grazed Mu Chen's mecha. The armor shoulder side bombarded the ground, leaving deep craters one after another on the alloy floor.

　　The wasp's movements were so fast that A2-C67's monitor capture was delayed. The maximum acceleration that the humanoid mecha can withstand is like slowing down frame by frame in the hook-tailed wasp's capture device. The hook-tailed wasp easily dodged a series of attacks fired by the alpha particle gun.

　　"Oh my god, if I were a supporter of M, I wouldn't dare watch it anymore! - Will M lose today?!"

　　The host incited a heated atmosphere in the stands, with some people whistling and others roaring. The mixed sounds reached Mu Chen's ears, and he filtered them into meaningless white noise.

　　His fingers drummed rapidly on the console. Sweat slid down the side of his face and dripped on the side of the operating table. Mu Chen's expression was condensed, but there was no depression in his eyes. The mecha could indeed no longer withstand higher-speed changes in direction. He could feel the various joints of the mecha making soft noises, indicating that cracks had developed in the most fragile connection parts and were about to collapse within a few minutes.

　　By that time, the mecha will become a piece of inoperable scrap metal.

　　But Mu Chen knew that his victory would also happen within these few minutes.

　　Mu Chen's brain filtered the data rapidly. Within ten minutes of fighting, he had become accustomed to the delayed display of the detector and the reaction time and speed of the opponent when his movements were predicted by the hook-tailed wasp. His eyes scanned the peaks that had not yet been fully displayed, and he could already predict the opponent's movements.

　　The bee-shaped mecha suddenly came closer and closer, making a loud sound like a bomber. The Yellow Vest knew that victory was in sight, but he did not relax his vigilance and was always able to distance himself from Mu Chen just right.

　　He knew how terrifying it was to be approached by the mecha master named M, so he made a series of evasive movements in the air.

　　"M jumped up again - he wanted to catch this annoying little bee - oh, like every time before, he failed..."

　　Mu Chen passed by the hook-tailed bee and fell on his back.

　　The mecha's right hand was raised, ignoring the snapping sound of the mechanical joints, and the thruster at the elbow was charging at maximum power.

　　The host opened his eyes wide.

　　"Oh my god, what is he going to do! M! M actually threw his magnetic blade knife! What was he thinking, how could the flexible hook-tailed wasp... - hit!!!"

　　Magnetic blade knife It collided with the abdomen of the hook-tailed wasp and made a loud noise.

　　Mu Chen's mecha arm was separated from his body under the huge thrust and was thrown into the air. The accurately calculated parabola takes into account the displacement of the hook-tailed wasp's avoidance. The magnetic-edged knife was whipped out with great force, inserted into the hook-tailed wasp's abdomen, piercing the bee-shaped mecha and nailing it to the wall of the arena!

　　The humanoid mecha that suddenly lost its arms rolled to the left, spun several times in the air, and landed with a crash.

　　Mu Chen put his left hand on the ground to relieve half of his strength, but was still shaken by the shock and shook his head unconsciously. The mecha knelt down on one knee, holding the particle gun with its left hand that was about to break, and fired at the hook-tailed wasp that was struggling to get away from the wall.

　　"I give up - I give up -!" A high-pitched voice came from the buzzing of the bees, "It hurts so much! Stop fighting! -" The
　　connection line between his laser cannon and the energy system was Mu Chen's nail exploded at once, and after two struggles, it completely broke. The balance of the mecha was destroyed. Even if he could break free, he couldn't fly high or fast. He could only be a target.

　　"Congratulations M - once again - this new mecha master who emerged from nowhere -"

　　Mu Chen ignored the shouts from the audience and, as always, returned to the preparation room and left the cockpit, politely high-fiving A Ming who was full of excitement. , then turned around and rushed back to Xifeng Villa.

　　He received a courier arrival notification from a home robot.

　　Mu Chen hasn't bought anything recently. If anything arrives, it can only be the treatment cabin he ordered from Leah.

　　After waiting and waiting until the flowers faded, the treatment cabin is finally here!

　　The home robot had already dragged the express package, which was as tall as a person, into the living room. Mu Chen entered instructions to instruct it to move the things to the second floor, unpack them, and saw that it was indeed a Class A treatment cabin. The virtual screen on the side showed the model of the treatment cabin. , and the number of remaining uses.

　　Mu Chen looked at the long list of zeros on the remaining usage count, was stunned for a moment, and called Liya.

　　"Did you send the wrong goods, boss? This is a model that costs millions. The one I bought should only be used a few dozen times." "

　　I know." Leah's voice was hoarse, "Let's see you finish the first game. I will change this order for you. The account has been recorded for you. Remember to pay back every week."

　　In the holographic projection, her face was pale, her eyes were red, and she was in a low mood when she spoke. Behind Leah, there was also the noise of the underground arena, mixed with the grief-stricken cries of the old man.

　　Mu Chen frowned. He had just returned from the Mecha Arena, but he did not pay attention to the remaining matches tonight.

　　Mu Chen: "What happened?"

　　Lia pursed her lower lip, remained silent for a moment, and finally said, "The soprano is dead."
