Chapter 339: Ultimate Mechanical Body Unlocked!

Seemingly unwilling to lose just like that, 【Ten Years of Drinking Ice, Hot Blood Not Yet Cold】 ultimately did not choose to surrender.

He had the Command Center's cannon continue to shell Yun Mu's Flash Silver Tank, and until the two Flash Silver Tanks were taken out by the cannon along with the two Energy Plants, his cannon then stalled due to insufficient power supply.

Yun Mu immediately had the remaining five Flash Silver Tanks retreat, then began mass-producing Executors, preparing to launch a final fierce attack.

Without occupying strategic resources, the opponent's amount of funds would certainly not increase.

And after the Command Center transformed into the cannon form, it seemed it could no longer move; otherwise, there would be no reason for the opponent to stop there and not continue the pursuit.

Seeing Yun Mu pressing forward again with a pile of Executors, there was no other way; 【Ten Years of Drinking Ice, Hot Blood Not Yet Cold】 could only sell one of his own Command Centers.

Then, relying on the money obtained from selling the Command Center, he hurriedly built Executors to defend.

But Muda Muda Muda!

It's useless!

Yun Mu directly controlled one Flash Silver Tank to guard the opponent's Barracks, crushing every Executor that came out.

The remaining four Flash Silver Tanks, together with the Executors and coordinating with the Hand Grenade throwing skill, dismantled the last Command Center in no time.

Turning back to destroy his Barracks, the opponent completely lost the means to resist.

【Level 4 is now open.】

【You can now build higher-level mechanical bodies or buildings.】

【At the same time, the number of skills you can equip has increased to 12.】

【You have unlocked the 【Merit】 system. When your units eliminate enemy targets, they will gain experience points. Once experience points reach a certain level, the unit's military rank will increase, and it will gain more powerful performance!】

【Note: In each match, a unit's military rank level can only be increased twice at most.】

"Phew, finally won."

Letting out a long sigh, Yun Mu left Duel Pod No. 001.

A multiplayer melee is really a troublesome thing, even if the opponents don't know how to play at all.

If those three hadn't had their Command Centers easily stolen, 【Ten Years of Drinking Ice, Hot Blood Not Yet Cold】's plan could never have been executed.

In a map where the starting amount is only ten thousand and there is only one Mining Field in the center of the map, what is the concept of stealing three Command Centers? Even if they were all sold, that's four thousand five hundred!

Not to mention the opponent could also transform them into cannon form.

However, that cannon should only be able to target the ground; if she encountered this kind of enemy on a normal map, she might consider using air units to deal with it.

And speaking of air units... Yun Mu glanced at the few unit types among the buildable units that could take to the sky.

【Armed Helicopter (Intermediate): A transport unit capable of ignoring terrain and Flying in the air, can carry up to five Soldiers or one tank, equipped with a rotating machine gun on the fuselage, strong firepower.】 (Cost: 1000)

【Flash Silver Fighter (Intermediate): A very fast flying mechanical body, capable of launching bombing runs on designated targets or buildings, and can also engage in air combat, but combat effectiveness is relatively poor.】 (Cost: 1200)

Hmm... Armed Helicopter can transport units, and the damage is quite a bit higher than Executors.

And although the Flash Silver Fighter's damage is very high, it can only bomb once per sortie and needs to Wait for ammunition to be reloaded before it can set off again.

Each has its own advantages, and the costs are about the same.

As for the Merit system added after the level increase, there's nothing much to say; the introduction has already explained it very clearly.

It's just that units will level up after killing a sufficient number of targets in battle.

Units that have leveled up will possess more powerful combat effectiveness, and in each match, a unit can only level up twice at most.

The strength of veterans is always stronger than that of new recruits, isn't it? Reasonable! Reasonable my foot, aren't the Old Legion all mechanical bodies? Where would they get combat experience from! Yun Mu complained in her heart.

As for the four new skill slots, she already had ideas.

【Ore Refinery—Efficient Operation: The efficiency of the Ore Refinery is increased, and the Resource Point conversion rate per cart of ore is increased by 25%!】

Resource Points are everything; only by developing the economy well and having sufficient Resource Points can one win the match.

【Radar—Area Scan: The building Radar gains an active skill, can scout the field of view within a certain range, and detect the presence of invisible units; can be used once every two minutes.】

If the opponent locks down the field of view at home, this skill is very useful; besides that, the effect of being able to detect invisible units will also play a big role at certain times.

【Repairman—Landmine Placement: Now, your Repairman can spend Resource Points to place landmines. Landmines are invisible units and cannot be detected by enemies, but note that any unit will be blown away when stepping on a landmine, including you!】

It feels like a skill that can be quite useful, though it's hard to say when to use it; in any case, bringing it along first is never wrong.

And for the last skill, considering her need for air units, what Yun Mu chose to equip was this: 【Armed Helicopter—Huojandanfashe: Armed Helicopter gains a new skill, capable of firing rockets at buildings or units to attack targets, higher damage, but cost increases by 200.】

Nothing much to say, it's just a means to enhance the Armed Helicopter's attack capability.

The only thing that made Yun Mu somewhat dissatisfied was that the cost increased by 200.

From the original 1000 each to 1200 each... I can only say it's acceptable; after all, the Flash Silver Fighter is also this price.

"After today ends, there should only be the last round of preliminaries left, right?"

Returning to the side of the others, Yun Mu asked Brenna beside her.

"Yes." Brenna nodded and said, "After the next preliminaries end, the highest level will be unlocked."

"According to the news released by the officials, both advanced and ultimate mechanical bodies and buildings will be unlocked at the same time." "After the preliminaries end, it will be the official matches. By then, many spectators should come to the venue, and it is said there will be giant projections, as well as staff specifically for match commentary."

"In other words, it's only just beginning after the preliminaries end?" Yun Mu said with some mental fatigue.

That melee just now was quite thrilling; although it passed without danger in the end, no one could guarantee she would keep winning like this later on.

The pressure is a bit high, I must say.

"Yes, that's right." Brenna nodded after hearing her words.

Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, the other party comforted her: "It's okay, Miss Yun, we don't only have this one method."

She hesitated for a moment and continued: "If it doesn't work here, we can try changing to some other channels."

For example, with the help of the Fire Weaver Bird Family, or finding some Experts who understand Human Body Modification or something.

She still had many similar backup plans in her heart; participating in the Old Days Front program was just the one she felt was more reliable among many plans.

"Ah, ouch, ouch, ouch, Miss Yun, what are you doing?"

Just as she was thinking about things, Brenna's cheeks were suddenly grabbed by Yun Mu, pulled forcefully to both sides, and then rubbed.

"I told you not to think so much." Yun Mu retracted her palms, put her hands on her hips, and said: "Hmph hmph, who do you think I am?"

"A mere Champion title is as easy to obtain as reaching into a bag and taking an item!"

"I will try my best too!" Lita suddenly interjected at this moment: "Although I am not as formidable as Miss Yun, clearing out some competitors is still no problem!"

"." Iliyasi wanted to say something at this moment, opening her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing at all.

Xiliya, who was beside her, noticed this scene and immediately gripped her palms with both hands.

"If there is anything you want to say, just say it directly; we are all willing to hear your voice, sister," she said.

"I..." Seeing everyone's gazes turn toward her, Iliyasi suddenly felt a bit nervous.

However, under Xiliya's encouragement, she still gathered her Courage and said: "I, I want to say, um... good luck! Although I have already been eliminated, woo... but I believe Miss Yun will definitely win. I, I will work hard to cheer you all on."

"Th-that is all!"

After finishing her words, Iliyasi shyly hid behind Xiliya.

Although Iliyasi was already very familiar with Yun Mu and the others, she still inevitably felt ashamed when saying such things... A normal person would probably feel ashamed, right!

Come to think of it, her personality was completely different from Xiliya's... It must have been influenced by the environment of her birth.

After all, Iliyasi had lived in the Frost Kingdom since she was young, surrounded by humans, and as a member of a different race, she was so conspicuous that it was normal for her personality to become like this.

However, deep in the girl's heart, a strong heart was still hidden.

Otherwise, she would not have traveled thousands of miles to the Orc Federation just to fulfill her mother's dying wish.

Thinking of this, Yun Mu could not help but chuckle softly.

"Ahem, you have a good eye. Then Iliyasi, just watch carefully from under the stage, and watch the moment this young lady personally seizes the Champion title!" she said with a slightly exaggerated tone.

"Hehehe, I can't just let Miss Yun steal the spotlight; after all, this can be considered my personal business," Brenna smiled at this moment.

She looked quite confident: "I will strive to take second place and leave the Champion title to Miss Yun."

"Leave? That doesn't exist, okay? I will definitely seize the Champion title with the force of Thunder!" Yun Mu could not help but start bragging.

Buzz, buzz, buzz... Brenna's bracelet suddenly vibrated; it turned out that while everyone was chatting, the first round of the melee had already ended.

The speed was a bit slower than expected, but that was normal.

After all, in a multi-person melee, there were simply too many uncertain factors.

Powerful people would be besieged, and scenes of multiple parties keeping each other in check would make people afraid to act rashly; it would not be strange at all for a match to drag on for thirty minutes.

"Then see you later~" Brenna looked at the message on her bracelet and waved her hand at Yun Mu and the others.

"Mm, waiting for your good news," Yun Mu wished her sincerely.

"I will win," Brenna nodded, then walked toward the Duel Pod without looking back.

Not long after, the live broadcast of the duel began to play on the screen above, but because it was a random broadcast, Yun Mu and the others did not know how the battle was going on Brenna's side.

It didn't matter; the Personal Terminal would handle it.

Yun Mu tapped open the live stream room and directly found the live duel footage of Duel Pod No. 001.

Then she saw Brenna being besieged by two people at the start, and her Command Center was beaten to low health, forcing her to sacrifice it.

"."

This situation was very unfavorable for Brenna.

Yun Mu could not help but break into a cold sweat for her.
