Chapter 211: Chapters 206 and 207 – First Generation (Double Monthly Ticket Bonus Update)_2

“Get into the game now.” Xu Zhilan opened the instance, and the group took a helicopter and was dropped into a ruined city.

The city looked like it had just been through a battlefield, with collapsed buildings, abandoned cars, and large craters left by artillery shells, not to mention the roaming Zerg.

As they landed, a few red-armored bugs rushed out from the ruins, roughly one for each person.

The group quickly counterattacked, skillfully dodging while controlling their mechanical exoskeletons’ armor-piercing cannons to strike back.

Everyone deftly avoided danger, especially Xu Zhilan, who operated the Red Flame Mecha for the first time with impressive agility, using a laser to pierce through the red bug’s brain!

“Boss, this mecha is so cool!” Huang Sheng said with growing envy.

“I really want one!” Xiong Manni’s eyes sparkled.

Deng Jian remarked, “If this mecha were real, that would be amazing!”

“Hey, where’s Chengfeng?” Huang Sheng noticed He Xingzhou had disappeared.

“He’s over there!” Deng Jian pointed to a spot where He Xingzhou was already knocked to the ground by the red bug, being bitten furiously.

“Leg armor has been compromised.”

“Chest armor is damaged, power system failing…” He Xingzhou lay still, listening to Lummi’s analysis and report.

He was currently testing the strength of the external defensive armor.

*But to everyone else, there was only one explanation—he was scared stiff!*

“This is just pathetic!” Huang Sheng criticized, “With such good equipment, doesn’t he know how to fight back? Give it to me, and I’d wipe out these red bugs in a minute!”

“Indeed a bit weak, but he’s more of a research-type player, so it’s understandable,” Deng Jian said.

Xiong Manni asked Xu Zhilan, “Boss lady, is your friend a rich guy? You have to pay to revive here if you die! Reviving is way too expensive!”

Xu Zhilan laughed, “No worries, he’s got plenty of money!”

Meanwhile, He Xingzhou’s mecha was being dismantled by the red bug, with an insect leg stabbed into his head.

“You have been killed,” the game system prompted.

He Xingzhou felt nothing inside and said to Lummi, “Record the data from earlier, and let’s continue.”

“Understood, Master! Go for it, Master!” Lummi gave him an encouraging smile.

He Xingzhou, with infinite gold, revived himself instantly.

This time, he changed his posture and was killed by the red bug again.

Seeing this, Huang Sheng couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Let’s help him, or when will we ever finish this instance?”

“Don’t help me!” He Xingzhou shouted, “Let me do it myself!”

So the group watched him die over a dozen times.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhilan excitedly tested various functions of the mecha.

The other three members sat on the ground, bored, and complained.

Huang Sheng looked up, “Wow, I never thought there could be so many ways to die!”

Deng Jian analyzed, “Honestly, if I had this equipment, I’d dare to solo the ‘Ruins of Luocity.’

“I think so too,” Xiong Manni chimed in, “By the way, he’s really rich, isn’t he? Reviving so many times, he’s like a rich god!”

After testing the armor’s strength, He Xingzhou began testing the armor’s maneuverability, running around.

The group grew tired of waiting and asked Xu Zhilan, “Boss, should we just move on? This is dragging too long!”

Before Xu Zhilan could respond, He Xingzhou said, “How about this, I’ll give each of you a set of this mecha to try out yourselves.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them jumped up from the ground.

“Boss, if that’s the case, I’m not sleepy at all!” Huang Sheng said excitedly.

“Is this for real? I could accompany you day and night!” Deng Jian added.

“Rich boss, you’re so awesome, big love!” Xiong Manni was overjoyed, thinking about how a mecha like this would sell for at least the price of a house online!

They didn’t expect it to come so easily.

The three also joined the testing team, with all their various data being recorded by Lummi.

Meanwhile, He Xingzhou continuously adjusted and improved.

This test lasted several days, and He Xingzhou’s Red Flame Mecha evolved through several versions.

“Finally cleared it!” In the game instance, Deng Jian looked at the defeated “Ghost Crab Insect King” (an evolved version of the super emperor crab, Level 7 Zerg) and let out a long sigh, exclaiming, “That was tough!”

It wasn’t the instance he found difficult, but the challenge of teaming up with “Chengfeng.”

Once they got used to operating the Red Flame Mecha, they cut through bugs like butter, taking down one every minute after mastering it.

What should have been a quick clearance was slowed down by He Xingzhou’s strange antics, like suddenly standing still, or choosing melee weapons over lasers for no reason, or “accidentally” attracting a swarm of bugs, making the clear seem incredibly hard.

Huang Sheng begrudgingly said, “Boss, with the way you play, you’d make a better game antagonist! Nobody would be able to clear the level!”

Xiong Manni nodded in agreement and said, “I agree.”

Xu Zhilan heard their feedback and chuckled to herself. She knew, of course, that He Xingzhou was doing it on purpose. His mastery of the mecha control was second to none, and who knew the mecha better than the designer himself?

“Speaking of which!” Deng Jian looked at He Xingzhou and stated, “Your mecha design is really impressive, I wonder if it can be made in the real world. I think you have talent; you could totally become a game designer.”

“True, at least you could design more mechas—if we can’t experience it in reality, at least we can have fun with it in games,” Huang Sheng and Xiong Manni both agreed.

“Game design’s not interesting,” He Xingzhou replied, “I plan to build it in reality.”

Hearing this, Deng Jian said in disbelief, “Do you know how OP your mecha would be? A single pilot can go up against Level 5 Zerg, and a small team can take down Level 6 Zerg. If there’s a whole squad, hunting down Level 7 or 8 Zerg becomes a possibility!”

“In reality, we haven’t even seen Level 7 or Level 8 Zergs.”

“What if it can be made, then?”

“Exactly, do you think you’re He Xingzhou?” Huang Sheng joined in the banter.

“Boss, this can’t just be made with money alone,” Xiong Manni reminded.

“And what if I do make it?” He Xingzhou asked with a playful smile.

Deng Jian declared, “If you can make this mecha, you’d be famous nationwide. I’d even take your last name!”

“If there’s a real version, I’d become your lackey!” Huang Sheng added.

“What should I say, then?” Xiong Manni said, “If you can do it, I’ll introduce you to someone!”

Xu Zhilan couldn’t help but laugh, as the three of them assumed she was mocking He Xingzhou’s bragging.

He Xingzhou stated, “No need for you to do that. If I make it, I just need you to pilot it. It could be life-threatening, so think it through.”

The group was already very familiar with mecha operation and were part of the Xuanwu Army; they could participate in the Catastrophe Island operation.

“Underestimate us?” Deng Jian said, “Even facing real Zerg, if I blink, I lose!”

“Right, as long as you dare to build it, no matter how many flaws it has, I dare to use it!” Huang Sheng replied, unfazed.

Xiong Manni said, “Why does it feel so weird? Boss lady, why are you laughing so much?”

“You think he’s bragging too?”

Xu Zhilan nodded seriously, “Indeed, this guy loves to brag, and many people love to hear him brag.”

He Xingzhou said helplessly, “Can you call that bragging? If I say it and can’t do it, then it’s bragging. But if I say it and do it, that’s real talent!”

“Alright, buddy, stop boasting,” Deng Jian said, “Though you’re a bit weak in the game, you’re still quite capable. Let’s add each other as friends, and I’ll guide you next time.”

After some idle chatter, they all logged out of the game.

“How did the test go?” Xu Zhilan inquired.

“Pretty much done,” He Xingzhou replied, “The Red Flame Mecha has been improved for combat readiness and is ready to be manufactured immediately.”

“Can I pre-order one?” Xu Zhilan looked at him eagerly.

“Of course!” He Xingzhou replied, “Top-tier version, complete with personal signature and a buff boost!”

“Then I’ll look forward to it!” Xu Zhilan laughed.

He Xingzhou immediately started the manufacturing process, “Lummi, send the improved template to the production department.”

Lummi responded, “Mecha template sent.”

“Master, you have a new message,” she reminded again.

He Xingzhou looked and saw it was from Dong Chen, stating that the nuclear battery had been successfully developed and passed performance and safety tests.

“Great, now we just need a weapon module. For now, let’s focus on producing the Red Flame Mecha; we can add the weapon module later.”
