Chapter 116: Six updates delivered, happy holidays!

Six updates delivered, happy holidays!

Many viewers are just watching for the spectacle, as well as that goofy streamer from Mars, but of course, the competitors from the major military academies are feeling immense pressure.

This Puppet is truly too fierce; he seems to treat every opponent with a sense of condescension that stems from his heart and his aura.

How can this person be this strong?

Even those as strong as the Six Dragons have a certain domain, specializing in a specific model of mecha, and having a fixed direction for their Golden Gene manifestation, whereas this Puppet seems to have no boundaries.

Or perhaps not "no boundaries," but so far, he seems to have been avoiding getting into gunfights with opponents; perhaps he has a certain deficiency when it comes to lasers.

It's just that players above two thousand points in the EF rankings have certain demands; unless one is famous for long-range combat, they wouldn't deliberately miss such an opportunity to verify their own strength. Of course, Puppet will run into them sooner or later, but by that time, I wonder if Huonan will still be alive.

At this moment, Puppet did not immediately enter the rankings, but was searching through the EMP training programs.

The previous performance is still fresh in memory; of course, the Kepler Battle Royale has already been cleared by quite a few players now. Human learning ability is super strong, and as long as there is time and proficiency, one can always figure out countermeasures and further possibilities. One can only say that the current Solar System Alliance is full of talent.

It's rare for Puppet to be so cooperative today; the popularity of the livestream room has already broken thirty million. If it were in the past, Huonan would have been so excited he'd be jumping on the spot, but now he can't feel happy at all. He is just a streamer, not a capitalist; that little nest egg was saved up over many years of working in the industry, and in just this short time, more than half of it is gone. If it weren't for the lack of better options, he would have quit long ago. I don't know who can save him.

For this kind of test, Li Hao definitely has to choose one without an S-rank rating; the bonus for a first clear is quite substantial.

The EMP test list scrolled continuously, finally stopping on one test—Granso's Shooting Basic Test.

The moment it was confirmed, Huonan rubbed his eyes, then looked, rubbed his eyes again, and looked once more.

...... Confirmed, it is indeed Grosso's Shooting Basic Training.

Huonan looked at Zhuang Zhou, then at the massive amount of comments on the screen, and suddenly his mouth split open like a happy husky.

He knew that the moment deciding his career had arrived.

"Dear viewers, Puppet is about to perform Granso's Shooting Basic Test. This is a niche shooting training; Puppet is about to demonstrate his understanding of shooting for everyone. Let us wait and see!"

Huonan's heart was both excited and nervous. Failing the challenge is a high probability, but through this, one can discover Puppet's weak point. Once he fails, the subsequent competitors with any brains will know what to do. Not to mention those who insist on throwing their lives away, there will always be those who want to win.

This is good, this is very good.

"Some viewers might know, and some might be hearing it for the first time: Grosso is one of the three mad designers of EMP. His Shooting Basic Training is different from the shooting basic training everyone usually sees. Although it is called basic training, students in shooting majors at military academies should know that this is one of the five deadly shooting tests, and the highest score to date is only an A; no one has yet been able to obtain an S-rank rating," Zhuang Zhou said while looking at the data.

The screen exploded instantly. Is Puppet aggressively declaring war on Huonan?

"I'm a shooting major, this is a test that humans cannot pass!"

"Puppet God is trying to kill Huonan in one wave. I feel like if he really passes this test, Huonan will have to retire."

"If he can get an S-rank rating on this, I will acknowledge his god-like status."

"Are you all crazy? This is impossible to pass; this is a completely different concept from the Kepler Battle Royale!"

"This is how gods are born; mortals, tremble!"

Most viewers are just watching the fun, wishing for the situation to be as big as possible. In fact, even Huonan has a "do or die" mentality. Being cut by a small knife is not as good as a quick death; he is going to fight Puppet to the death.

The EMP project team's follow-up was very fast; instantly, an advertisement appeared in the Earth District that Puppet was about to challenge the "Grosso Shooting Training," and the popularity of both their livestream rooms climbed again.

Everyone is waiting for Puppet to stage another magical performance; after all, he is a miracle creator to this day.

Five minutes passed, and Puppet was still motionless......

Ten minutes passed, and Puppet's interface was still stuck there......

Is he AFK?

What the f***!!!!!!

Huonan controlled his emotions, which were on the verge of exploding. Is this on purpose? Intentional?

Toying with him???

This bastard, this villain, he must be doing it on purpose. Start already!

Then a large group of viewers began watching Puppet stay AFK......

At this moment, Li Hao was motionless, his entire body in a strange state of sleep.

Li Hao had no choice; he knew something was wrong as soon as that feeling came on, but he was completely unable to control it.

He was not asleep, but had lost control of his body. His whole person had entered a dark space, as if sucked into a black hole, and then appeared in a strange world of perception. The reason it was a world of perception was that he could not feel the existence of his body, yet his consciousness existed. The surroundings were dim, seemingly having boundaries, yet also appearing boundless.

This was not the first time. When he first entered, he couldn't move at all and thought he was completely finished. He didn't expect that after a period of time, he would wake up again and regain control of his body. And having entered this state again recently, he also discovered some differences. This place seems to contain something; it is alive, a very faint feeling. He is not alone, and his own changes have gone from being unable to move to being able to move in a drifting manner.

And now, he seems to feel that there are things like fireflies flickering in the darkness. This flickering is not just a phenomenon, but more like it is telling him something.

At this time, in the team battle room of Tianjing Martial Arts, Wuzang and the others were staring at each other, especially Ma Long. He had never experienced this; he was almost beaten to the point of doubting his life. With the same mecha, why could they produce such a huge gap? At the beginning, the opponent pulled back a bit, but soon after probing the bottom, they pressed them to the ground and rubbed them.

"Class Monitor, is the Cougar really this fierce? We didn't feel it when we fought before," Zuo Xiaotang was truly speechless.

"What the hell is this? I didn't even touch a single hair, and even Zuo Xiaotang's Arc Shot was useless!" Ma Long's mentality exploded. It really felt like he was a piece of trash, and even being there to make up the numbers was considered redundant.

The Arc Shot is just a technique; the surprise effect is usually very good, but since Zuo Xiaotang had used it, the Cougar naturally knew this information and had already accounted for it. They deliberately sold a flaw to Zuo Xiaotang; Zuo Xiaotang's shot missed, and the mecha's right arm was destroyed, which is equivalent to losing combat effectiveness.

"These people are too cheap; they don't dare to face me one-on-one!" Huo Ying said unhappily. He was being targeted by the Sniper repeatedly, and it was disgusting as hell.

Wuzang and Naiyi were silent, immense pressure hanging over their hearts. They had come to the training match full of confidence today; with the improvement from the Campus Tournament and the results of recent training, even if they lost, it shouldn't have been this ugly.

Naiyi suddenly stood up and clapped her hands, "Everyone, cheer up. This is a good thing; it shows that the Cougar is using their full strength to fight us."

"Class Monitor, how can we cheer up? We are not even on the same level," Ma Long said, feeling a bit dejected.

"Do you all think that the top-tier Earth team led by Luo Bi would really lose to our newly formed team?" Naiyi asked rhetorically. "Missing a Campus Tournament, training for a few days and getting carried away. We are training, but are the others just sleeping? And is the other side's training less intense than ours? Or is it that the Cougar, led by the Six Dragons who have been baptized by the S Tournament, is not as good as us?"

Naiyi said, and she was also saying it to herself. It's not that just because you worked a little hard, you feel you must win, as if it's only reasonable for the opponent to lose to you.

The training room fell into silence. During this period, everyone had become incredibly inflated, even Ma Long. Although he didn't say it out loud, he was still very confident about joining the team; after all, he was a genius, and even in the Starship Department, he would be discovered.

"Class Monitor is right!" Wuzang expressed his agreement. Even he had lost some vigilance during this period. Training alone is not enough; one must have strong goals and resilience.

Naiyi nodded, "In the future, we will encounter all such opponents, and of course, even stronger ones. Therefore, physical training must be strengthened in the future, and before the Mid-Season Training, I propose that everyone's score be at least two thousand or more."

"Wuzang and I have to aim for 650, otherwise the experience there will be even more miserable than everyone can imagine."

The military has always spoken with strength, and this Mid-Season Training will surely give everyone an unforgettable memory, filled with the fury of the military.

"I'm not afraid of challenges, after all, I'm a genius, but will our current training work?" Ma Long asked.

"I believe in Li Hao. A person who can make Luo Bi respect him—do we need to question it?" Naiyi said. In the match, when Li Hao was occasionally mentioned, she could clearly hear the feeling in Luo Bi's tone, and she knew even better that Luo Bi didn't talk to others like that. Perhaps even he himself hadn't realized this point.

It even carried a little bit of... awe.

Has Li Hao, who looks harmless to humans and animals alike, ever done anything that could make Luo Bi feel fear?

"Damn, then what are we waiting for, let's start training. I've already bragged, and as the flower of the Starship Department, I must shine brilliantly at the A-Tournament and let everyone witness the representative of Tianjing Martial Arts who possesses both good looks and strength!" Ma Long roared to pump himself up.

"Fine, then I'll be the representative of the Mecha Department who possesses both handsomeness and power!" Huo Ying immediately followed up, yet no one paid him any mind.

Zhou Naiyi realized that the biggest problem for Tianjing Martial Arts right now was that their individual strength simply hadn't reached the level of the A-Tournament, which was also one of the reasons Li Hao didn't participate in group training with them; training would be in vain, and one must eat one bite at a time. This only made the desire for a challenge in her heart even stronger; her goal was to become an existence like Yifei Luobi.

This was a special night; a certain famous Mars streamer, Huonan, lost control during a livestream, maniacally smashed his studio, and then fainted.

Li Hao woke up early in the morning; to him, it felt as if time hadn't changed much, but it was already dawn. He opened his eyes, turned off the P, and when checking out, a broad smile appeared on his face. Praise be to you, great Principal, for not having to pay out of my own pocket; if I had to pay for idling all night like this, how heart-wrenching it would be.
