Chapter 224: The Nemesis of Huonan's Life

At this moment, the EMP war zone is unprecedentedly lively. Aside from the S-Tournament, no non-official battle has ever garnered such massive attention. Tens of thousands of streamers across the Alliance's four great war zones are currently discussing the impending fight.

The Mars Faction and Earth Faction, the Virtual Faction and Real Faction, are arguing heatedly. The EMP official channel is even pushing the event across all four war zones; this is a battle no Mecha enthusiast can afford to miss. Even in the S-Tournament, Romero is a terrifying existence with the strength to win the singles championship. Facing such an opponent, can Puppet continue to put on an act?... What act? Whether he can even win is the question.

In the official broadcast room, Zhuang Zhou is hosting. There are three people in the broadcast room this time. Zhuang Zhou has returned to his specialty, responsible for off-site interaction and coordination for this broadcast, with a new professional commentator added: "Kuangwu Daren," to go head-to-head with Huonan.

The reason Kuangwu Daren was selected was due to the support of fans on the USE side; there were actually millions of applications. The officials followed public opinion and gave Kuangwu Daren this opportunity. His last battle against Number Two Ant earned Kuangwu Daren countless fans. He has an eye for talent, a broad mind, and considerable professional competence. Plus, having a bit of a connection with Puppet, his participation in this commentary has also received support from many fans. His background in Ancient Martial Arts is what the officials value.

Huonan doesn't really care; originally, Xiao Zhuang wasn't good enough to fight anyway.

The officials actually consulted Zhuang Zhou's opinion, and Zhuang Zhou raised both hands in favor. His current situation is better suited for hosting and coordination. In fact, he has been cramming Mecha professional knowledge during this time, but he is not a professional Warrior himself. This gap cannot be bridged in a short time. As for the internal aspects of the battle, they cannot be made up for. He would delay Puppet God, and Kuangwu Daren's level is absolutely sufficient.

"Mecha enthusiasts from the Solar System, what we are about to present to you is the EMP battle of the year. The two combatants are Puppet God and Lone Wolf Romero. Today, my duty is to interact with everyone and submit popular questions to the two professional commentators. Let me introduce them: Huonan, my former partner, whom everyone knows—he has a sharp tongue," back in his familiar position, Zhuang Zhou also appears exceptionally carefree. "The other one, I must introduce emphatically: Kuangwu Daren, a professional commentator from USE, and also a professional player. He comes from an Ancient Martial Arts family. Today, they will present a professional analysis of the match for everyone."

In an instant, search volume for Kuangwu Daren surged. Not just anyone can appear in a place like this; it is no exaggeration to say he became famous overnight. Moreover, although Zhuang Zhou's professional knowledge is a bit lacking, he is popular and a die-hard supporter of Puppet, with countless followers. To have him and the fans agree to this, what is Kuangwu Daren's background?

Soon, that amateur competition held in Dawan City was dug up. It turns out Puppet even found time to play in such an amateur competition. Although it was in the Xuni Qu, two Armor Leopards were a bit too exaggerated. It turns out there are people who can perform manual acceleration with a Cross Wheel; the Xuni Qu in USE has some substance.

Of course, the point is that after comparing with Number Two Ant, Kuangwu Daren's precise judgment and sense of responsibility—under the questioning of the audience, he still firmly recognized Number Two Ant's strength. Unable to prove it, he was willing to risk a massive loss of popularity to stand by his views, until Puppet made a surprise appearance and challenged Number Two Ant. This shows that Number Two Ant is definitely not a nobody. Then came the Cross Wheel duel, which fully verified Kuangwu Daren's judgment.

As a professional streamer, Kuangwu Daren possesses several of the most important qualities. It is no wonder the officials gave him such an opportunity, and the audience is also full of anticipation.

Huonan curled his lip. He certainly knows the opponent's situation; he can only say, a guy who got lucky. There are plenty of such goods on Mars. People, after all, still have to rely on a bit of luck.

"You two, there is still some time before the match starts. How do you see the deciding factor of this duel?" Zhuang Zhou smiled, changing the task, suddenly becoming at ease.

Huonan glanced at Kuangwu Daren. "You go first."

Kuangwu Daren did not stand on ceremony. "As a former Mecha Warrior, Lone Wolf is a top-tier expert whose back I cannot even see. I really like his biting combat style, and what I can be certain of is that player Romero should have also reached a very high level on the road to the Golden Zone."

"That goes without saying, Romero is the pride of our Mars!" Huonan nodded. Sure enough, someone who has been around the block is sensible, unlike some greenhorn.

Kuangwu Daren smiled slightly. "We are using Real Mode. This level, for player Romero, is already surplus in operation. Simply put, it's like a professional player playing in the Xuni Qu; it will be relatively easy. Likewise, player Puppet must have also reached this level. What will influence the outcome will be the choice of Mecha and comprehensive technique."

Huonan nodded; it seems this kid has some substance. "That's right, the physical load can already be completely ignored. Puppet has been using the Armor Series to show off before; I don't know if he still dares to do so when facing a Warrior of the same level."

"How player Puppet will choose, I don't know. If he continues with an Armor Series Mecha while Romero chooses a Super Mecha, this move will tip the scales of victory. From a rational perspective, it's about a 60-40 split," Kuangwu Daren said seriously.

Huonan was amused. "Not bad, I've met someone who dares to tell the truth. You be careful, you might not be able to go back."

Glancing at the barrage, the Earth's Puppet fans exploded.

"Kuangwu, you little brat, why don't you go to Mars and be a dog!"

"Refund his ship ticket and let him float back from space!"

"This traitor, I misjudged him. What a coward; how could I have supported him."

Kuangwu Daren was not affected. "There is another factor: in choosing the combat environment, player Puppet also leaves it to his opponents. In fact, everyone knows how important the combat environment is. It involves proficiency, Mecha compatibility, etc., and is almost a place players must fight for. If, under the previous conditions, player Puppet still lets Romero choose freely, then the deciding factor of the match is probably only theoretically one percent."

Once he finished speaking, the barrage was already unwatchable. Zhuang Zhou was still trying to explain and appease the fans' emotions at the beginning, but this was already beyond control.

Meanwhile, countless streamer rooms were also paying attention, immediately commenting on Kuangwu Daren's remarks.

At this moment, in the official broadcast room, the number of online viewers has already exceeded 130 million.

The match hasn't even started yet.

Almost all military academy EMP centers on Earth and Mars are already full. Holographic images have been projected outside the buildings, and countless students have gathered outside. This battle is destined to be the focus of everyone: can Puppet truly defeat a top-tier player, a terrifying Warrior who ravaged Earth's Warriors on the S-Tournament stage with no face left?

And Kuangwu Daren's remarks sparked waves of cheers from the Martian audience. This is Lone Wolf Romero, a Super Warrior capable of conquering other federations, definitely not something that attention-seeking puppet can compare to.

As long as he dares to show off, the Martian Warrior can chop him into firewood!

A match like this is a festival for men.

It is the same at Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts. Whether it is the Mecha Department or other departments, everyone is on the EMP side; it was already packed solid. If it weren't for the status of Zhou Naiyi, Wuzang, and the others, dreaming of getting in after dinner would be impossible.

But seeing them arrive, the crowded crowd actually squeezed out a gap for them, accompanied by bursts of applause and cheers. This is the support and protection the students of Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts have for their own team.

Tan Ziyuan, Sheng Man, and Lu Lingxiao also benefited, enjoying this supreme treatment. It's just that when everyone heard Kuangwu Daren's analysis, there were also bursts of "affectionate family greetings."

As a commentator, one cannot be completely rational; there is a stance involved. If he really turns out to be a jinx, Kuangwu Daren feels it's best not to return to Earth; he will really be beaten.

Huonan laughed. Actually, before the match, experts from all sides had already analyzed it countless times. It's just that this conclusion of Kuangwu Daren's is something no one would say on a live broadcast; leave a little suspense, right?

"It seems the outcome of this match shouldn't be much of a problem; it's just a matter of how exciting the process can be. I didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable partner in Puppet's final match," Huonan laughed loudly, even winking at Zhuang Zhou.

The broadcast popularity has already reached 150 million. It was predicted to be very popular before the match, potentially breaking 100 million, but the multiplier effect was still underestimated. Plus, it being the weekend, it attracted a massive audience. Bars everywhere are playing this match, and the actual number of viewers is even higher.

At the same time, it also aroused the anger of a large number of Earth viewers. This so-called Kuangwu Daren is not even as good as Zhuang Zhou. Although Xiao Zhuang's professional knowledge is a bit lacking, he never acts cowardly. What is this guy up there for? Even if... the facts are like this, one must have a stance!

Especially on the Mars side, the director gave Kuangwu Daren a close-up, and even the post-match title was written: A sensible person conquered by a Martian Warrior.

Kuangwu Daren shook his head and looked at Huonan seriously. "Regarding the conventional analysis just now, for this match, my personal opinion is that Puppet's win rate is over ninety percent."

"Oh, ninety percent, although a bit conservative..." Huonan stuttered, his expression changing slightly, but he didn't get impatient. "Hehe, I'd like to hear your reasons, Kuangwu. You are participating in such a big scene for the first time, and there are countless viewers watching, so speak cautiously. You can eat food indiscriminately, but don't speak indiscriminately, and don't think about being an attention-seeker."

Zhuang Zhou on the side couldn't help but laugh; Huo Laoshi is giving a crooked lecture again.

Kuangwu Daren nodded. "I am very nervous; actually, I keep pinching my thigh, and I don't dare to look at the comments, cough cough. I am a loyal fan of Puppet, and I have watched all his battles. I saw the shadow of Ancient Martial Arts in them, but Ancient Martial Arts is only a small part. My judgment is this: if player Puppet chooses a Super Mecha at the start of the match, then the win rate for this match is 50-50. If player Puppet continues his previous style, then the win rate for this match should be one hundred percent."

Huonan's mouth twitched. He thought he had switched to someone reliable, but it turned out to be someone who could show off even more!
