Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 915: What is a Super Mech?

Translator: Abyssruler, AtlasStudios Editor: Lucas, AtlasStudios

“Wang Zheng, look at the masterpiece we’ve made for you. We went through great pains in the process.”

Even Butcher could not resist milking the moment. A black mecha drew their eye. It was a deep black that held just a gleam of light. It gave one a cold, murderous aura. The entire mecha’s surface was covered in runes, like an Atlantean mecha, but even denser. Wang Zheng was also a mecha engineer himself, and had researched the runic mecha before. This mecha’s runes were clearly different. The runes were even more closely packed, and the mecha was a shade larger than the average fighter mecha. The entire hull had an oppressive feel, as though proud and aloof, a snide, disdainful feel to it. Just sitting there, the mecha would exude pressure on the opponent.

Butcher was very satisfied that Wang Zheng and the rest were satisfied. He had truly expended much of his energy on it, but wished that the lad Wang Zheng would use it well to achieve great deeds in the future.

Zhang Shan’s saliva was overflowing. He pounced over, fondling the mecha’s surface. “D*mn, d*mn, dayumm! This feel is the best!”

Wang Zheng quickly pulled Zhang Shan away. “Your saliva, stop spraying my fighting partner with it!”

“D*mn, don’t be like this. I’m just copping a feel, not like it’s a girl!” Zhang Shan grumbled. D*mn, as a fighter, if he could not obtain one of these, his life would be meaningless.

Lie Xin’s breath was taken away as well. They were all ace pilots. Lie Xin herself had used tens of mecha, but none could compare to the one in front of her.

Once one’s physical skills and Ability X reached a certain level, a mecha’s capabilities would become extremely deadly. Those like Wang Zheng and Olivios were examples. When the pilot’s abilities exceeded the amount that the mecha could withstand, they were unable to fully exert themselves. And Olivios’ mecha had crumbled first due to the difference in usage. Wang Zheng, as a mecha engineer, could sense a mecha’s state. In battle, especially long battles, he was extremely conscious of this. Sometimes, he backed off not because of the opponent’s attack, but because it was more efficient in preserving the mecha. And Olivios could not match him on this point. His considerations centered around fighting, and tended out of habit to use the strongest possible moves to suppress the opponent. After all, he was strong. But the mecha had not been up to it.

But if one had such a super mecha, it was a completely different story. This runic mecha could definitely withstand any operation from the pilot. This was the best mecha.

Of course, the cost of creating such a mecha could easily outfit a squad of 100 people. The cost was astronomical.

“Wang Zheng, you know the basics of using it. It’s not too different from the Atlantean runic mechas. The key is that we’ve added material G. It doesn’t affect Ability X usage, but you must take special care as to the distribution of ability. When using the runic energy, a huge drain appears. If you add on Ability X, it could easily be twice or thrice the usual strain. As to exactly how you must portion your energy, you’ll get used to it once you train.”

“Old Butcher, can I test it now?”

“Well, of course. Why else did you think I brought you over? Once you’re familiar with it, we’ll arrange for a fight with an abyss Zerg. Everyone’s waiting to watch that. You better not darken the name of Elite Academy X.” Butcher chuckled.

Wang Zheng was about to say something, but Zhang Shan interrupted him. “Don’t worry. Even with a normal mecha Wang Zheng could finish off these stinky worms. D*mn, Wang Zheng, we’re such close friends. You have to let me have a go later.”

Butcher laughed. “A runic mecha is customized, and you cannot use it. Unless Wang Zheng no longer uses it. Then we’ll change the starting sequence.”

Elite Academy X took the security of these runic mechas very seriously. Such super weapons could not be fooled around with.

Zhang Shan had a deep look of envy. D*mn, looked like it would take hard work to get one for himself. He vowed to make it his life goal to do so.

Lie Xin was thinking the same thing. She had not imagined that a runic mecha would be this different. But that showdown’s fight had indeed been intense.

Wang Zheng walked beside the mecha, switching on his Skylink signal. The mecha promptly lit up, and the runes charged with energy. The translucent hull door shot out a beam of light which enshrouded Wang Zheng. The cockpit door revolved inwards, bringing Wang Zheng in, and sealing in an instant.

Zhang Shan was dissatisfied. “Old Butcher, must you be so advanced. You’ve robbed my life of meaning, to put so much gimmick even in the cockpit door.

F*ck, so much technology just on the door. D*mn, how would the other pilots feel, having to crawl into their own cockpits?

Butcher laughed. “Super soldiers must be received like super soldiers. Don’t blab now. You work hard, and fight for your own in the future.”

“Ah! There’s still a chance?”

“But of course. As the runic technology matures, it will definitely spread among super soldiers. Within the Saruman Snake Battle Team, your agility is the best, and your reaction to danger is also excellent. Just that your body is far from sufficient as a super soldier. Given your present condition, if you used this mecha at full capability, you’d collapse within 5 minutes.” Butcher said.

Zhang Shan blushed. How embarrassing, for his own weaknesses to be called out even by an outsider. He could not help being the weak spot on Saruman Snake Battle Team. Although his intellect had helped him to turn the tables time after time, but the problem still existed. And intellect was not a cure-all. But to improve his physical condition could only improve so fast. It was not for a lack of effort, but he could not shake off the feeling that he was not improving. Wang Zheng could take him out with 1 punch, and not need a second.

Lie Xin was already fully concentrating on the mecha. BOOM...

The mecha floated.

Zhang Shan’s jaw dropped. “Levitating body?”

Lie Xin stared at Zhang Shan like he was an idiot. “You don’t say? What’s important is how well it holds up in mid-air battles.”

“Keke, runic mechas use the latest energy technology, and can support complete battles in the air, including space situations. But the air battles and space conditions require the pilot to adjust. Compared to specialized ground-based mechas, the mecha’s innate adaptability pales a little.” Butcher said.

In truth, this was already pretty game-changing. The rougher the terrain one had to travel, the more complicated it was, and the capability would definitely suffer. Increased piloting difficulty was a given, otherwise it would not be a mecha for a super soldier.

Lie Xin’s heart was burning as well. Blazing, and she did not know why. Recently, it was difficult for her to keep her emotions in check. Even she had realized that she was prone to rage recently... Agitated. Could she really be thinking about men?

What was this!

Wang Zheng did not immediately take off. He was feeling and savoring it. This... it was really too awesome a feeling. Wang Zheng could not resist swearing. This mecha’s interior used the purest material G. It was incomparable!
