Chapter 5

Once launched, it immediately swept across the Galactic Alliance, and a large number of girls joined in. The Galactic Finals of the War God Alliance, held every four years, even entered the top ten programs in terms of viewership across the entire galaxy.

There was no way around it; the young decided the mainstream.

In every battle, the winner would receive 1 to 10 points based on their performance, while the loser would lose 1 to 5 points. Once a player reached 1,000 points, they could challenge for promotion. If successful, they would become a Bronze player and gain the qualification to participate in the ladder battles.

In professional terms, it meant, "Dude, you're finally not a noob anymore."

Players were divided into five levels based on their strength: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.

The top ten Diamond players on each planet were revered as Kings. It's worth noting that there were only ten such players on each planet, and their influence was no less than that of idol stars.

As for Yan Xiaosu, although he boasted in front of Wang Zheng all the time, he was still a new and inexperienced rookie without a title.

The promotion battle to reach 1,000 points was crucial because a failure would result in a direct deduction of 50 points, requiring a restart. Some people, like Yan Xiaosu, would cheat by hiring experts to help them.

Xie Yuxin was another close friend of Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, but she was completely different from them. Xie Yuxin had a gene count of 90, and despite her feminine name, she was extremely cool and handsome. Many people at Dawn couldn't understand why someone like Xie Yuxin would hang out with Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, as it seemed to lower her status.

At the moment, at the Brother Internet Cafe.

Yan Xiaosu was busy apologizing, "Great gods, please wait a moment, my buddy will be here soon."

"Rich, handsome, and wealthy, hurry up, we charge by the hour."

"Got it, got it, thank you, thank you!"

Yan Xiaosu had to put on a smile; he had managed to hire three Bronze players to help him get through this challenge.

Originally, with Xie Yuxin, it would have been a sure thing. This guy was not only handsome but also very strong. The reason he hadn't advanced was simply because he played less often.

"If the guy can't play, it's fine, just let him stay at home."

"Got it, great god, rest assured, I'll take care of it."

The three people on the video call nodded. Three Bronze players could easily dominate five noobs.

The difference in strength was like the gap between heaven and earth.

CT was easy to get into but hard to master. It didn't burden the body, but to operate it well, one needed to possess half the qualities of a professional pilot.

Before long, Wang Zheng arrived. He had some understanding of CT, even if he hadn't played it himself. Besides, everyone around him, including Ye Yun, was playing it.

"Boss, you're reliable in critical moments. Hurry, this one is yours. Just log in and follow the captain's instructions."

These people were quite expensive, charged by the hour, and Yan Xiaosu didn't dare to delay.

Wang Zheng entered the simulation cockpit. It was indeed quite realistic, no wonder so many people liked it. He put on a headband, two wristbands, and two ankle bands. Instantly, a beautiful, almost inhuman girl appeared before his eyes.

The CT game guide was very cute and nice. It was said that many male players were initially attracted by this girl.

"Welcome to the War God Alliance. Please confirm your ID and choose your desired mobile suit."

Five shiny mobile suits appeared before Wang Zheng's eyes. Even though he knew they were fake, he still felt a surge of excitement.

As for the name? Wang Zheng suddenly smiled. How about "Skeleton"?

The five types of mechs available to beginners were: Magic Wolf V (Assassin), Fierce Beast III (Tank), Bata V (Warrior), Hunter III (DPS), and War God 1 (Customizable Weapon).

The Magic Wolf and Fierce Beast were part of the beast series. The Magic Wolf was highly flexible, suitable for complex terrains like hills, and was more of an assassin type. The Fierce Beast was a tank type, specialized in breaking through fortifications. The Bata and Hunter were humanoid mechs. The Bata was a well-balanced warrior, a standard training mech in the military, and had evolved to the fifth generation. The Hunter was a sniper type, skilled in stealth and long-range attacks.

The War God 1 was a humanoid mech for beginners, with no special features. It was mainly for familiarizing oneself with the basic operations. The weapons available were a standard alloy combat knife and a laser gun, the most common types. Beginners could use it to fight against computer-controlled mechs.

"Hurry up and choose, don't waste time," a voice said. The ID was "Rogue Warrior," a Level 2 Bronze player, the highest-ranked among the three Bronze players, and the most temperamental.

Yan Xiaosu quickly nodded, "Boss, just choose any one, you just need to fill the number."

Wang Zheng, who had wanted to understand more, saw Yan Xiaosu's urgency and randomly chose the War God 1, which sounded cool.

A flash of light, and the five mechs on their side appeared. The small window displayed the information of the other four teammates.

Yan Xiaosu's ID was "Rich, Handsome, and Wealthy," with no title, using the Fierce Beast III, which was thick-skinned, fierce, and a rush-type mech, but weak in mobility. Given Yan Xiaosu's fear of death, this was not surprising.

Wang Zheng used Xie Yuxin's account, ID "Xie Yuxin," which fit her personality well, as she used her real name.

The other three avatars all had a bronze glow, a symbol of their status.

ID: Rogue Warrior, Magic Wolf V

ID: Just Love to Dominate, Bata V

ID: Never Say Die, Hunter III

These three were hired by Yan Xiaosu to help. The captain was undoubtedly Rogue Warrior.

He had participated in such promotion battles several times. As long as they were cautious, there shouldn't be much of a problem. The three of them would handle the fighting, while the other two noobs just needed to follow and clean up the robots.

However... when the three saw Wang Zheng's choice, they were all stunned.

"Damn, kid, why did he choose a squishy? Is he out of his mind?" Rogue Warrior said, almost losing his temper.

"What's a squishy?" Wang Zheng, entering this state for the first time, was like a curious child, completely ignoring the other person's anger.

The expressions of the others were speechless. "Where did you come from, kid? Damn, just stay in the fort and don't move, don't get yourself killed!"

Rogue Warrior said, "Rich, Handsome, and Wealthy, this job is harder than expected. Increase the payment by 20%!"

Yan Xiaosu wiped his sweat, "No problem, thank you, great god. I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Yan Xiaosu was too eager and had forgotten that Wang Zheng had never touched this before. He quickly explained to Wang Zheng.

The War God 1, while sounding impressive, was not practical in real combat. It wasn't that the mech was bad; its performance was decent, balanced in attack and defense. The biggest issue was that it lacked an energy shield. Without a shield, it was like fighting naked against a fully armed opponent, completely unviable. A slight mistake could even get it taken down by a cannon fodder robot.

The team mode was 5v5, with each side having a fort. The fort would periodically produce robots to attack the other side, and the ultimate goal was to destroy the enemy's fort.

In free matches, you could invite friends to help, but you wouldn't know who your opponents were, relying entirely on luck.

The five opponents appeared. Wang Zheng ignored the disdainful looks, unable to describe his current feelings. He never imagined such a strong sense of realism, no wonder it attracted so many people.

The battle countdown began.

Ten... nine... three... two... one.

A flash of light, and everyone entered the battlefield. The sensations were no different from reality. The other four were fully engaged in the tense battle, while Wang Zheng was like a newborn.

He had always dreamed of piloting a mech, and he never thought it would happen in this way. Wang Zheng took a gentle step forward.

Clang...

The completely realistic feeling of the mech's feet touching the ground. Wang Zheng looked up at the sky, wanting to shout.

It was damn awesome, no wonder Yan Xiaosu was so obsessed!

At this moment, the other four mechs had already moved out. The three Bronze players were in the lead, Yan Xiaosu in the middle, and the rear guard. Yan Xiaosu was extremely excited.

He then remembered that he had forgotten about Wang Zheng.

On the screen, Wang Zheng was moving the War God 1's arms, lifting his head, twisting his body, taking a step forward, and then stepping back.

Rogue Warrior and the others noticed Wang Zheng's situation, "Rich, Handsome, and Wealthy, where did this kid come from?"

Yan Xiaosu held back his anger, wanting to curse but not daring to. He couldn't offend the great gods, especially since the other party was from the Hunter Corps.

"Hehe, great god, my buddy is a first-timer, please bear with him."

The three were hired to do a job, so they couldn't be too harsh, but they were also frustrated. Even a little bit of skill would have helped, but now it was completely useless.

The opponents were also advancing. Given Yan Xiaosu's situation, the opponents wouldn't be too weak, but with three Bronze players, they should still have a chance.

Wang Zheng suddenly accelerated, and the mech almost fell over, but Wang Zheng in the cockpit smiled brightly, like a child who had found his favorite toy.

Although it wasn't a real mech, Wang Zheng couldn't resist its charm.

On the other side, the cannon fodder robots produced by the fort were already engaged in battle, with gunfire and explosions.

Wang Zheng, at the back, was like a newborn learning to walk.

Wang Zheng didn't follow. Since his task was to stay here, he would stay. He could play it later when he had time. After being dominated by Bone, Wang Zheng had a new perspective. Life was short, and one should enjoy it to the fullest.

The central line was being contested, and the central battlefield was already in chaos. The communicator crackled with Rogue Warrior's voice.

"Damn, the other side has Bronze players too, everyone be careful!"

Rogue Warrior was quite professional, as this was about their reputation and business.

Yan Xiaosu's heart sank. They had encountered another promotion team, turning it into a fierce battle. But he didn't believe the other side could afford as much as they did.

Indeed, the other side had only hired two, but their skill level was better than Yan Xiaosu's, and they had more people.

In the middle of the chaos, Yan Xiaosu's laser gun unleashed a fierce attack, but suddenly an alarm sounded.

"Rich, Handsome, and Wealthy, retreat quickly, you're exposed!" Rogue Warrior shouted, but it was too late.

(Seeking recommendations, thank you!)
