Chapter 89: Cross Wheel
The barrage is already frantically sending reminders.
"Puppet God picked the wrong one!"
"Damn it, stop chatting, Puppet God picked the Xuni Qu!"
"Zhuang Zhou, he did it on purpose, you've been tricked!"
"This round doesn't count, we need a restart, restart..."
Huonan smiles slightly, "Today is quite special. Puppet chose the Xuni Qu; it is said he used to love bullying noobs in the Xuni Qu."
"Ladies and gentlemen, today will be a rather special battle. I feel Puppet God must have chosen wrong and accidentally entered the Xuni Qu. I have a feeling everyone is about to see a battle like no other," Zhuang Zhou says.
"Haha, you can even make bullying noobs sound so interesting. Since he accepted, let's wait and see. Oh, MO, this ID sounds a bit familiar," Huonan says curiously. Seeing the tag is from the NUP war zone, generally speaking, as a Martian, he doesn't pay much attention to other war zones, especially a Xuni Qu one. "Holy crap, it really is him..."
The barrage is already filled with reminders. Since ancient times, great masters have emerged from the common folk; the vast majority of EMP broadcast viewers are Xuni Qu players, after all, military academy students are still the minority.
Zhuang Zhou also frowns. He remembers now—how could it be him?
Huonan reveals a rather eerie smile, "Everyone, there really is a surprise. Let me grandly introduce the god-level player from the Xuni Qu—MO, the creator of the Sky Dance Wheel mech combat technique, and the number one Sky Dance Wheel user in the NUP Federation!"
It is truly rare for a Xuni Qu player to leave an impression on Huonan, but MO is definitely one of them.
This is a rather exaggerated Concept Mech released by the NUP. Its configuration consists of two large and two small, incredibly sharp Cross Wheels. Each Cross Wheel has a built-in four-corner drive, and combined with its own retraction system, it forms a continuous assassination. The inspiration comes from mythical Warriors. In actual combat tests, the effect was very mediocre; this weapon that is neither long-range nor close-range has too many obstacles. Although there are no major problems with the system, the actual combat effect is not strong. Of course, Concept Mechs are more about providing reference attempts and infinite reverie about Super Mecha.
After this mech was released into the Xuni Qu, it was also hailed as a "rating-dropping artifact," belonging to the kind that is trash at both long and short range. These broken wheels are just asking for death against long-range; they are not as sharp or stealthy as a Sniper, nor as fierce in firepower as Heavy Armor. As for close combat... swords, spears, halberds, and axes—isn't that more satisfying?
This situation lasted until the sudden emergence of MO. He used a Sky Dance Wheel mech to reach the top of the NUP Xuni Qu. With his "Heavenly Demon Wild Dance," he swept through the NUP. In close combat, almost no one was a match for MO. At that time, some experts from the Zhenshi Qu even "condescended" to come to the Xuni Qu to challenge MO, only to be crazily schooled without exception.
Of course, MO would still lose, because every mech has weaknesses that can be targeted. Even if a mech is powerful, there are always environments where it is not suited to perform.
MO's contribution was discovering the true usage of the Sky Dance Wheel mech, which is the method of using the four splitting wheels. The relentless, continuous rotation and tearing of the four powerful wheels mean almost no close-combat mech can withstand it. Even some super-heavy Titan-series mechs are torn apart like paper in front of the Sky Dance Wheel mech.
Essentially, the Sky Dance Wheel mech is a close-combat Harvester.
It's just that this mech can only be used in the Xuni Qu. Even MO once tried to step into the Zhenshi Qu, but the results were just average. This is because the compatibility and non-confrontational experience of the Xuni Qu allow the four splitting wheels to enter an infinite cycle of tearing. Moreover, the four-drive ultra-strong alloy wheels carry a tearing-style rotation, and their armor-piercing power is too terrifying; even the large shields of Heavy Armor cannot hold for long. But this effect is easily interrupted in the Zhenshi Qu during intense confrontation.
In fact, the various federations' virtual players are not short of stubborn fools who challenge MO. MO is also a professional signed player for EMP. He only uses the Sky Dance Wheel. Currently, close-combat mechs in his hands are almost certain to die. Heavy Armor dies from being cumbersome, medium mechs have no features at all, and Light Type mechs are injured if they are even grazed; once hit, they are dead for sure, with no chance at all.
The strange arc of the Sky Dance Wheel is too difficult to predict. Some Regular Mode movements or deceptive changes in direction are useless in front of the Sky Dance Wheel mech.
The most terrifying thing is that there are four such wheels in total, two large and two small, with different arcs and ejection curves. How can one defend against that?
Huonan is already spouting off, "It is said that MO's Golden Gene manifestation is the mastery of arc trajectories in his field of vision. He possesses an understanding different from ordinary people to be able to pilot this mech. Let's put it this way: in the Arena, he is invincible in close combat—just invincible. The time has come to test Puppet; let's see if he shows off a Sniper specialty or something!"
Zhuang Zhou is speechless. Countless battles have already proven that the burst damage of MO when using the Sky Dance Wheel mech is unsolvable. The best-case scenario is mutual destruction, because the modifications of this mech in the Xuni Qu lead to unsolvable operations once mastered.
Of course, so far, MO is the only one who can do it. Others will still make mistakes. Once the four splitting wheels cannot link up, the lethality drops to the bottom instantly.
What's awesome is that MO can already cast and retrieve the wheels with his eyes closed.
It's just that... MO's nickname is "Spray King." A non-mainstream Moon Person, he loves to trash-talk too much.
He sprays a round at the start and sprays a round at the end. The problem is that he basically always wins, which makes his opponents quite depressed.
On the other side, MO's broadcast popularity is also quite high, stable at around ten million. For a Xuni Qu player, this is also quite incredible. The main thing is that even if an S Tournament player enters the Xuni Qu, they cannot pull off these operations. Of course, if MO could pull off these operations in the real zone, he would be a "Puppet Plus" effect, a one-of-a-kind master of a unique skill.
Of course, he is also the defender of the Xuni Qu now. No matter who enters the dimension of the Xuni Qu, he is the King of Close Combat.
In the broadcast room, countless people are introducing Puppet to MO. Puppet has been a bit crazy lately and is also a Xuni Qu player, but the difference is that he uses the Armor Series to dominate the Zhenshi Qu and defeated an S-level player. This is simply another miracle of the Xuni Qu.
Huonan directly cuts to a small view of MO's broadcast room. Huonan also likes to spray, but MO's way of spraying is different from his. The insidious nature of a "Moon Person" is displayed to the fullest; he especially likes to kill the heart after killing the person.
Everyone is looking forward to MO's performance and listening to him spray people, especially spraying some S Tournament players, which is quite satisfying.
He sprays, and he still wins—just ask if you're convinced.
But ever since the opponent was confirmed, MO actually closed his eyes. He, who loves interacting with fans, took three deep breaths.
Then he suddenly opens his eyes, "Hehehehe, finally I've waited for you, you bastard. It's been a year. Come on, come on, come on!"
Then follows a burst of somewhat neurotic wailing. Everyone is left confused, but... judging by the tone, the two have "bad blood."
MO instantly selects the Sky Dance Wheel mech + Yueqiu Guzhanchang, then waits for his opponent with a somewhat ferocious expression.
"Yuegu District is MO's invincible territory. Currently, he has three hundred and fifty-six wins and zero losses. This is to crush Puppet to death," Huonan says. "This is the ultimate showdown of internet celebrities."
"Puppet God is not an internet celebrity. He can also slaughter everyone in the Zhenshi Qu," Zhuang Zhou retorts.
Pfft!
Huonan rolls his eyes. Who wants to reason with him? He knows that this time, as long as Puppet dares to court death, he will definitely be beaten until his own mother wouldn't recognize him. Especially since MO is very excited; this kind of neurotic player will perform extraordinarily once he gets excited.
MO's broadcast room is completely boiling. Showing off a killer move—this definitely involves bad blood. Suddenly, the barrage is filled with sorcery and all kinds of questions.
"Hehe, brothers, remember what I said before? A long time ago, I met a bastard who ran away after winning. I finally met him again. Today, I must make him taste the feeling of being paid back in his own coin!"
Puppet has made his choice. It's the first time seeing Puppet actually hesitate.
MO smiles triumphantly. This kid must have recognized him and is scared, terrified. Yes, he is no longer the him from back then; now he is the King of the Sky Dance Wheel. "Come on, show your Sky Dance Wheel and fight me to the death!"
MO says in a low voice, his eyes filled with burning desire. Defeating others is not enough to satisfy his heart; only this guy, it must be this guy!
Puppet's choice is locked in—Armor Leopard.
The Armor Leopard mech appears for the second time, facing the Sky Dance Wheel mech, the king of the close-combat field of Concept Mechs.
But the expression of MO, seeing this scene, is full of anger. This is the most shameless opponent. He has never seen someone who can be this shameless. Winning and kicking people is one thing, but to actually choose an Armor Leopard just to keep him from winning.
This is simply the greatest insult to his Federation-number-one Sky Dance Wheel.
"Hey, hey, Puppet, do you still remember me? I'll allow you to restart and change your mech!" MO roars out directly.
The barrage is full of praise. No one finds it strange; MO has always had this kind of manic personality.
It is also the "most useless" mech in history, but the performance of the Sky Dance Wheel is several generations ahead of the Armor Leopard. In the Xuni Qu, it's like a rifle versus a machine gun.
Huonan and Zhuang Zhou look at each other, clearly not knowing why he would choose this, because in the Yuegu District, the chance of winning with an Armor Leopard is zero.
This is absolutely... 0!
Huonan controls his inner excitement, which is like a rocket taking off, and sighs with a twitching corner of his mouth, "Sigh, I know he will lose, I just didn't expect it to be in a place like this. Welcome everyone to watch Puppet's first defeat. A stubborn person is how one gets beaten until their own mother wouldn't recognize them. Hahaha."
By the end, he is already going crazy, unable to hold back his laughter. Yes, he can't help it!
While speaking, Puppet has already confirmed, not responding to the opponent's roar. In his impression... there is no such person. The match enters the countdown phase.
Yuegu District, Armor Leopard VS Sky Dance Wheel.
