Chapter 19

Chen Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm really dumb, Doctor Xiao Fei has already started independent research on spatial penetration at this point."

The three of them looked at Wang Zheng simultaneously, who was truly dazed by these three young men. This was no ordinary place; he just wanted to blend in and then transfer to the mecha department.

"Cough, cough, I'm Wang Zheng, from Shangjing. I don't have any special skills."

Instantly, the three of them stared at Wang Zheng, almost shouting in unison, "You're Wang Zheng!!!"

"This... Is there a problem?"

The three looked at each other, "Damn, we didn't expect the most mysterious special recruit of the academy to be in our dorm!"

"Big Brother Wang Zheng, I've heard you're Professor Xiao Fei's special assistant. You must guide me in the future," Chen Xiu said, looking at Wang Zheng with admiration.

Wang Zheng was sweating. He knew his own capabilities very well, and these three were the real deal.

Zhang Shan looked at Wang Zheng seriously, "Very good, my father said the doctor discovered a rare genius. I didn't expect it to be in our dorm. We have four years to get to know each other!"

"Wang Zheng, I'll aim to surpass you. Be careful, I'm determined to become the doctor's assistant; it's the meaning of my life!"

Yao Ailun's small eyes started to emit lasers.

Wang Zheng was speechless. What was going on? Was this dorm a gathering place for special people from the physics department? He just wanted to blend in!

Wang Zheng realized that college life might not be as easy as he thought.

The three science enthusiasts quickly turned the conversation to recent trends in the scientific community. Wang Zheng wisely left, thinking, "Xiao Fei must have done this on purpose. No matter how he arranges it, I'm a warrior born for mecha. The rest is just a hobby."

The school was bustling with students whose eyes burned with youth and ideals. Wang Zheng felt the same, but he always felt like an observer. ... It's all because of his bad bones, which made him train like an old man.

Checking his mailbox in Tianxun, he cursed, "That scammer is really persistent, sending over a hundred emails, automatically spamming. I despise spam emails!"

Wang Zheng deleted them all without reading, but he missed the battles a bit. After a quick tour, he headed straight to the Brother Internet Cafe.

Wang Zheng was still nostalgic, of course, mainly for the 20% discount the boss gave him.

Solen had been having a hard time lately, his hair almost falling out. He had written countless sincere emails, using all the passion he had for writing love letters in college, but the other party still ignored him.

After the skeleton defeated Justin, Solen was sure this was his future. He was going to take a gamble, win or lose!

But the problem was, the stake was gone. What could he do?

It was a headache!

At this moment, the assistant burst in, startling Solen. Just as he was about to scold him, he saw the assistant's face as red as pig's blood, "Boss, he's here!"

"GOD, you finally came. I've been waiting so long, let's execute the plan, full promotion!"

"Yes, boss, everyone is ready!"

The staff outside were also excited. In the CT performance competition, they had always been at the bottom, but now they finally had hope. CT had great benefits, but no one could handle the longest working hours and the lowest pay.

Why take a gamble? CT was a whole department, with separate statistics for publicity and operations. If they invested, they had to see results, or they would have to take responsibility. The rookie area was the most unpredictable.

The skeleton's victory over Justin had already livened up the long-dormant rookie area, especially among the "elementary school" players who admired him greatly. But the skeleton had disappeared for a month, making the students who had just started school anxious. Fortunately, there was a big gift on the first day of school.

"Report, boss, the attention has already surpassed ten thousand!"

"Very good, continue. As soon as he makes a choice, act immediately!"

Solen tapped the table, very excited. What did he really want?

Such a person probably didn't lack money or fame. If it was for fame, he wouldn't be in the rookie area.

What did he really want?

He had to cater to his interests to maintain a long-term cooperation. It was a headache!

If Wang Zheng were here, he would definitely shout: Money~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes the answer is the simplest.

This time, Wang Zheng didn't choose one-on-one but entered the team zone, five-on-five. Last time, he watched Xiao Su and the others play, and this time he wanted to try teamwork.

Solo play didn't require much skill, but team battles had a lot of depth.

He entered the match.

Wang Zheng's choice kept the staff busy. They had to change the prepared promotional topics. Who would have thought he would suddenly choose five-on-five?

Twenty seconds later, the match was complete.

Wang Zheng entered the team mode.

Teammates: "Me and Zhoujie," "Looking for a Donkey," "Oh, All Pits," "Cloud and Rain Dance."

"Hi everyone, I'm a girl, I might be a bit of a burden, please bear with me," Cloud and Rain Dance said, her voice pleasant even though her face couldn't be seen.

"Haha, girl, no problem. I'm a pro, leave your contact info, I'll take you," Looking for a Donkey said, and very generously opened a video, looking quite good, with a 30-degree side profile, clearly a seasoned player.

"How do we play?" Oh, All Pits asked.

"Play casually, it's not a high-level battle," Me and Zhoujie said.

"Alright, play freely, crush them!"

"… Damn, what is this? How did we match with a guild member?"

There were guilds in the rookie area, and the stronger ones used a tiered training model: rookie area, bronze area, silver area, etc.

Although the opponent was also a rookie, the玄武guild was a famous diamond-level guild, and ordinary people couldn't join.

"Oh, the opponent has a 100% win rate."

"Hehe, showing off in the rookie area, watch out for lightning!"

"Kill him!"

"I love breaking in newbies."

The game loaded... 10%... 50%... 100%.

Map: Norton Star Twisted Jungle.

"The opponent is from a guild, everyone be careful, don't lose too badly... Damn, Skeleton, are you crazy, picking a squishy!" Oh, All Pits was stunned.

"Whatever, a girl and a newbie, and the opponent is from a guild, we're bound to lose. Just play for fun," Me and Zhoujie was quite calm, driving the Magic Wolf V out.

"Damn, today's luck is really bad, lost all day, and there are so many newbies starting school!"

Oh, All Pits said gloomily, driving the Bata V out.

The other two also set out, two going up, two going down, leaving Wang Zheng to go mid.

The robots from the fortress had already rushed out, helping to provide vision. It was said that Norton Star's gravity was five times that of Earth, but it was the same here, and it was hard to imagine the physical strength required for combat there.

Wang Zheng wasn't in a hurry; he hadn't encountered any enemies yet.

What the participants didn't know was that this match, which should have been ignored, already had over 15,000 paid viewers, and the post had over 500,000 clicks.

Less than five minutes in, the system announced: Player "Cloud and Rain Dance" destroyed, exiting.

Although she was a girl, the opponent didn't know. As soon as she appeared, she was headshot by the opponent's Hunter III.

Oh, All Pits was speechless. He had only been a second late in warning, and it was over. He couldn't attack or retreat; the opponent's Bata V had already appeared, its titanium blade slashing down.

Oh, All Pits was skilled, but the hidden sniper's laser cannon came, boom...

Almost simultaneously, another Hunter III appeared, three against two, and Oh, All Pits' screen went black.

At seven minutes, the red team lost another mech, Oh, All Pits destroyed.

Looking for a Donkey was speechless, "All Pits, damn, I'm done, I'll take one with me!"

There were three on the top lane, so there had to be one on the mid lane, and the bottom lane would definitely have only one. Me and Zhoujie and Looking for a Donkey accelerated almost simultaneously.

Sure enough, there was only one Rampage III defending, but could they break through?

Under the cover of the robots, they started their attack, but the Rampage III was quite sneaky, relying on the fortress's defense and not engaging directly. It was unrealistic to focus on the fortress to kill the Rampage III.

The three mechs on the top lane were rushing back at high speed. They had to fight a blitz, or they would be wiped out. They had to push hard.

Just as they were attacking the fortress, a Magic Wolf appeared.

Damn, no one on the mid lane? Another trap!

"Skeleton, no one on the mid lane, rush, do something, don't let them wipe us out!" Me and Zhoujie shouted urgently.

Wang Zheng wondered if Zhoujie was his sister or girlfriend...

The Hunter III on the top lane was slower, defending the mid lane, while the Magic Wolf and Bata went to support the bottom lane.

The mid lane was a squishy newbie, and the Hunter, though a heavy sniper, wasn't too scary.

Wang Zheng didn't push too aggressively; he had a sense of danger.

The bottom lane was already in a heated battle, and Me and Zhoujie and Looking for a Donkey were surrounded.

Although they caused some energy shield damage, they were both destroyed.

Only Wang Zheng was left.

The four opponents didn't have many thoughts. Losing to a newbie was normal, but...

The four who had exited were shocked by the number of viewers. Were these people watching their match?

Had everyone become so perverted that they were interested in such a one-sided match?

Me and Zhoujie was stunned... Skeleton?

Could it be that Skeleton?

GOD!

At this moment, Oh, All Pits couldn't help shouting in the public channel, "What are you waiting for, surrender, don't waste time!"

He hadn't noticed the number of viewers in the corner.

Boom...

The opponent's Hunter III was destroyed. He didn't know where War God I had come from. By the time he realized, the titanium blade had already pierced his vital point, and the energy shield hadn't even activated.

"Huh, what's going on, Old Hat was destroyed by War God I."

"This guy might be a fake, be careful!"

"Whatever, a diamond-level player, kill him, auto-attack!"

Four mechs charged toward the red team's fortress, the Hunter responsible for reconnaissance and high-speed advance. They didn't find the opponent's trace and had already surrounded the fortress. It was just a matter of time before the end.

Wang Zheng quietly waited for an opportunity, but the four mechs maintained a good formation. If one was attacked, the other three could immediately support.

The four mechs, along with the smart robots, attacked the fortress. The cannon fire was intense, and the fortress wouldn't last long.

Time was ticking away.

This was unsolvable. A top player could use the energy shield to hold out, but War God I couldn't take a hit.

Was the legend going to end here?

Solen's eyes were almost popping out. Damn, why not stick to 1v1, why team battles? Didn't he know the dangers of the world?

It was over. Although losing was expected, the players' enthusiasm would drop, and his follow-up plans would be worthless.

What a mess!

War God I was in stealth mode, quietly waiting...

People tend to relax when they're about to succeed, especially when they have a clear advantage.

At this moment, the destroyed Old Hat suddenly shouted in the channel, "Brothers, be careful, that squishy is Skeleton, he's hiding somewhere, don't be careless, win this match, and we'll be famous!"

Damn, the ID seemed familiar, it was really Skeleton. He only played 1v1, but this was a big win.

The four opponents, who had been a bit relaxed, immediately became alert, strengthening their attack on the fortress and their vigilance.

Wang Zheng's four teammates also regretted, wishing they had played differently. Even a god couldn't help now.

(Rarely did I wake up so early today. Adjusting my schedule is really hard. I was reading until midnight last night, and I've only been to the gym once in almost a month, the day I got the card...)
