Chapter 15

"Ha ha, I didn't expect you to be in the mecha department."

Female pilots are not uncommon; the existence of elite humans has allowed female pilots to secure a place in the mobile suit teams, such as in the Aslan Empire. However, on Earth, they are still relatively rare.

"Ha ha, you forgot what our family does." Ye Zisu said. The Ye family owns the largest mecha parts production and repair company in the Asian region, OMG.

"Do you have any plans for this summer?"

"Nothing much, just working and waiting for school to start." Wang Zheng didn't hide his situation; after all, it wasn't a secret.

"Is that so? I'm also going to intern. Are you interested in coming to OMG? You can get hands-on experience with mecha assembly." Ye Zisu winked, knowing that this offer was something Wang Zheng couldn't refuse.

It wasn't about the salary; what mattered was that she knew how much Wang Zheng loved mechas.

Sticking it out for a day or a month was doable, but for four years was unimaginable for someone like him, even though Ye Zisu was also working hard to inherit the family business. As a girl, she still needed to take care of her appearance, attend parties, and go shopping.

If she hadn't been paying attention, how would she remember Wang Zheng's name and the shocking 28 gene count?

"If it's possible, then thank you." Wang Zheng really wanted to get hands-on experience with real mechas.

Ye Zisu smiled, "You're welcome, consider it as an apology, we're even now."

Wang Zheng suddenly felt that girls could be quite nice when they were kind.

The internship at OMG was much better than working in a restaurant.

At the OMG headquarters in Shangjing, Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu had already worked for three days. No one knew who Ye Zisu was; both of them came in as interns, and the young lady of OMG was really here to learn.

Here, there were various mecha analysis diagrams and parts, and the main work was research and repair, which meant plenty of opportunities to understand mechas. It had to be said, this was the best place Wang Zheng could think of.

Wang Zheng chose the practical department, dealing with mechas, which inevitably made him dirty and greasy. Ye Zisu was in the design management department. Wang Zheng had a very fulfilling week.

"Kid, have you cleaned it up? Move faster, there's still a lot of work to do!"

An old man in his sixties walked in, looking very spirited. Wang Zheng had become his laborer, working from morning till night, sometimes even overtime, doing all sorts of dirty and tiring jobs.

"Rest assured, Old Luo, can this Magic Wolf V-type be fixed in such a bad condition?"

"There's no mecha I can't fix. Come, take a break."

Wang Zheng slid down from the mecha, "Our equipment in the Asian region is really poor. I heard the Lunar Army doesn't use the four basic models anymore."

"Kid, don't underestimate the four basic mechas. They are the foundation of mechas. The so-called advanced ones are just adding some new weapons on top of them. The fundamentals never change. Once you master these four mechas, the rest are easy."

Luo was quite proud, but Wang Zheng knew that this stubborn old man had real skills.

Wang Zheng's temperament matched Luo's. Unlike most young people who were eye-high and hand-low, it was clear that he genuinely loved mechas and was diligent. In the week he had been there, he had done all the tasks Luo assigned him very carefully. So when he had time, Luo didn't restrict Wang Zheng. There were detailed introductions and parts of mechas here, and if you were interested in mechas, there was no better place.

Wang Zheng had been sleeping in the warehouse for a week. The overall design of the mecha wasn't too difficult for him. His grasp of 3D analysis diagrams was always the best, and with the parts in the warehouse to compare, he had the best opportunity to understand mechas.

A week passed in a blink, and Wang Zheng was sent away by Old Luo. The weekend was for playing, and young people shouldn't rush; there was plenty of time to learn.

Actually, Wang Zheng was quite fond of the free work meals at the company, which saved him a lot of money.

At the Brother Internet Cafe, the owner looked at Wang Zheng with a tearful expression. Since Yan Xiaosu abandoned CT, the owner had lost a big customer.

For this, the owner even gave Wang Zheng a bottle of drink, which was quite a gesture.

CT not only had battles but also a CT life community, providing a platform for player interaction. The virtual world was another kind of life, where many people chatted and browsed forums, making new friends. However, Wang Zheng wasn't interested in this and went straight into the match mode.

Finally, he had some time to play a match. He hoped for a strong opponent; he didn't want to waste the internet fee!

Wang Zheng prayed.

At that moment, a group of people were engaged in a heated 5v5 battle, and the channel was filled with excited calls. Suddenly, the side with the advantage surrendered. What was going on?

"Skull is online!"

"Who is this guy? Is he famous?"

"I heard he's quite a bug. Want to check it out?"

"What level can a newbie reach?"

In the newbie area, Skull's name was already well-known. After disappearing for a week, his influence didn't decrease; instead, players were even more eager to see him. Mainly because at this level, there were too few experts.

Solen recently had a headache. He sent an email, but the other party was scared away. Hearing that Skull was online, his headache was gone.

"Immediately issue an official announcement and give it an A-level ad slot!" Solen slammed his hand on the table.

"Boss, this might not be good. What if the inspectors catch us..."

"Do it immediately!"

"Yes, boss!"

The staff rushed out. Wang Zheng was eagerly waiting for a match, wondering why it was taking so long. Had the number of players decreased recently?

Fewer players?

The forum was already exploding with a red headline: "Skull appears!" The water army was rampant, and the attention was clearly doubled. Not only newbies but also some experts started to notice. Although they still thought it was someone's alt, no one had found a match yet. But as the battle progressed, it would be hard to hide.

Of course, if he lost, there would be no need to find him.

Ding.

Wang Zheng's opponent was finally matched.

Due to four consecutive wins, although his points were low, the opponent was already quite strong.

ID: One Red Flag War God No. 1

Record: 15 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss. The loss was due to a high-level mecha, where the equipment difference was too great.

Undoubtedly, this was an alt. Although not publicly admitted, everyone guessed it was Justin, the mid-laner of the Diamond-level Barbarian Legion. After losing one match, this alt disappeared, but it unexpectedly appeared now.

The entire forum was ignited. Clearly, some people couldn't stand it. This alt's way of attracting attention was very hateful. It was popular a few years ago, but no one did it anymore. If someone did, they would inevitably face a backlash from experts.

And here it was.

Solen's heart sank. He really didn't want Skull to face such a strong opponent so early, but he couldn't control it.

He knew that One Red Flag was indeed Justin. This guy liked to destroy his opponents and then plant a flag on their fortress, a very showy player.

One of the top ten mid-laners in the European region, Justin looked at the screen with a smug smile. He couldn't stand people showing off, except for himself.

Justin was known for his comprehensive and aggressive mid-lane skills, maximizing the power of humanoid mechas. For him, the mecha was an extension of himself, extremely agile.

A titanium knife was his signature weapon. In battles, the players' motto was, "Don't engage Justin in close combat; the best strategy is to take him out unexpectedly."

Justin wrote a book because this Skull was following the same showy path. War God No. 1, titanium knife, he had done this two years ago and was eventually stopped. This time, he would be the one to end it.

Of course, he wouldn't admit it publicly.

Skull vs. One Red Flag.

This was interesting. Two showy players facing each other, who would be the tougher one?

The official announcement was quickly made: "Who is the true War God?"

The click rate quickly surpassed 100,000, partly because of Skull and partly because One Red Flag had caused a major stir two years ago.

"It must be Justin; he can't stand anyone being more popular than him!"

"This will be entertaining. Justin is one of the top ten mid-laners in the European region. Even if he doesn't win, the opponent will be exposed!"

"Win? Are you kidding? Justin excels in one-on-one battles. He could rank in the top ten on Earth in single battles!"

"Whatever, let's just watch and see!"

Ma Xiao also stopped training, and his teammates gathered around. "Captain, is One Red Flag Justin?"

"Right, it's no secret in the circle. What he doesn't know is that the account that trolled him was a proxy. Ha ha."

Ma Xiao said, "This guy was too cocky. One Red Flag was indeed very aggressive. If the equipment was a bit worse, Justin's close-combat skills could have made up for it, but if the opponent was at the same level with better equipment, there was no way. Justin found out later and was frustrated, but it seems he's still holding a grudge and is using Skull to settle the score."

But Justin was still a man. War God No. 1 vs. War God No. 1.

Wang Zheng also checked the opponent's record. This opponent should be good, and the fact that he also chose War God No. 1 indicated considerable confidence.

"Boss, the number of paying viewers has surpassed 2,000 and is still rising. Our promotion time was too short. If we had prepared properly, we could have easily reached 5,000!"

The staff said excitedly, but Solen had no excitement left.

These damn people, couldn't they let Skull grow a bit before killing him? This was just the beginning of earning attention. Damn!

Solen weakly waved his hand, "Go, do your best. I need to rest; my head is starting to hurt again."

(Students, please give me some recommendations, thank you!)
