Alien Relic Hunter

"I know this guy. This is his sixth time participating in the mecha competition. Apart from those ace pilots, he is already quite famous." Layton said in the audience, "This guy is a war hammer." Fan, nicknamed himself 'Astartes', and his favorite weapon is the chain sword... He was originally a normal person, but later he underwent several reconstructive surgeries for this fanatical hobby, but his luck was not very good. , the last operation failed, and I almost lost my life, and my strength fell to the level of a first-level reformer."

"That's really a little expert at committing suicide." Ke Lan commented.

…

The whistle has been blown. This guy named "Astartes" changed his previous teammate's avoidance style and started charging with his chain sword in tow - in order not to slow down his own speed, he even connected the weapon mounted on his shoulder armor. None of the Gatling cannons were used.

The distance between the two sides was shortening rapidly, but just when they were about to come into contact, Valkyrie suddenly fired several smoke bombs, and a large sheet of white smoke instantly filled half of the arena.

"Contestant Valentina actually used smoke bombs at this time..." Alex said with a hint of doubt in his tone, "However, in this arena, conventional smoke bombs can have a very limited effect, just like We can still see that their figures are the same on the screen. The mechas of the contestants are also equipped with thermal imaging devices. No matter how thick the smoke screen is,-"

Alex's words stopped abruptly, and Valkyrie in the smoke made an action that many people couldn't understand: she pulled out the fighting dagger from her waist and "heated" her energy shield. After a moment, he threw it towards the open space in front of him on the right.

This kind of operation left most of the audience confused - could an ace pilot still make such a low-level mistake? Even if the opponent's figure cannot be clearly seen in the smoke screen, one can always see such a large high-temperature color block on the thermal imaging instrument, right? Even if you want to use the dagger as a throwing weapon, you should throw it at the opponent...

But let's not talk about whether Valentina made a mistake. The next moment she threw the dagger, her opponent "Astartes" made a fatal mistake with "extreme cooperation": He seemed to He completely ignored Valkyrie who had moved to his right and was close at hand. Instead, he picked up the chain sword in his hand and swung it towards the fighting dagger in front of him that had not yet landed!

"I understand! This is not a mistake, this is Valentina's tactic!" Alex suddenly realized, "The reason why Player Astartes made such an outrageous mistake is because he has fallen into Valentina's trap." In the trap designed by player Leonina: We can see that in the image displayed by the thermal imaging instrument, the red-hot fighting dagger is far more eye-catching than the player's body. Just now, player Astartes' His attention must have been attracted by this 'eye-catching' short sword for a moment... In such a tense match, this is completely unavoidable - "

"But -" Alex paused and continued to explain, "when he realized that this was just a bait, the mecha's intelligent assistance system had already made the wrong response plan for him: AI error Thinking that the pilot wanted to attack that 'target', he activated the preset attack action stored in the mecha..."

In Valkyrie's eyes, the mecha with its door wide open due to the attack action was no different from a living target. Another fighting dagger easily penetrated the opponent's body, but this loyal Warhammer fanatic He had better luck than his teammates - luckily he didn't even have time to activate the energy shield, so he escaped the fate of being roasted half to death.

At this time, the audience had recovered from their confusion, and even Ke Lan and others on the suspended platform could hear the fierce applause clearly.

"This is probably the reason why the ace pilot always insists on full manual operation... How can he still play..." Layton murmured to himself.

Although this tactic will not work when facing an ace pilot, in terms of viewing pleasure, it is no less than a fight between two ace pilots, coupled with Alex's explanation ——In just a few dozen minutes, Valentina gained a large number of fans among the spectators.

Moreover, compared to those tall and thick male pilots, Valentina's appearance and figure have become her fan-attracting weapon - although there is no camera inside the mecha, it is still easy to take photos of the contestants and some promotional videos You can search for iceberg beauties like this who are full of neutral beauty. The audience is still very wide, especially when paired with a violent machine like a mecha, the contrast becomes even more obvious.

Ke Lan glanced at the barrage of the online live broadcast, and there were many comments such as "Miss Valentina, I want to marry you!", "awsl", "I'm so excited--"...

"These two games...were they too high-profile?" On the contrary, Chi Hanfeng's face showed a worried look, "The competition has just begun, and Valentina is expected to become a participant from each team." He is the team’s key research target. I’m afraid he will be targeted in the following games..."

"It's a good thing to perform well." Ke Lan patted Chi Hanfeng on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much. Anyway, as an ace pilot, he will be targeted sooner or later, especially in the later eliminations, when he pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. It won't work at all... Also, I suggest you take a look at your mailbox, it's probably full."

"Email?" Chi Hanfeng was stunned.

"Valentina is very popular. There must be a lot of businesses who want to negotiate cooperation and sponsorship. I think that even if she cannot win the championship, she will not be short of subsequent medical expenses."

"That's true...but I guess she won't accept things like filming advertisements. At most, she can only print a few sponsors' emblems on the mecha." Chi Hanfeng sighed, "I'm too Now that I know her, her stubborn temper has hardly changed in the past ten years."

"I quite admire this girl." Zofia walked up to Ke Lan and said to Chi Hanfeng, "If she is willing, I can arrange a suitable job for her and bear all her medical expenses - —The Soma Consortium is now planning to develop into the military industry, and talents like her should have a lot of room to develop."

"It depends on her own wishes... In fact, she has always had an obsession in her heart. If she doesn't let go of this obsession, I'm afraid she..."

"Obsession? What obsession?" Ke Lan asked in confusion, and Hound and the others also came over curiously.
