Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy - Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Chapter 182: 1 on 1

[Dear readers, Happy National Day!!]

Battle Map: Urban Alley Warfare.

The light beside Mu Fan gradually brightened, and he now found himself in the cockpit of the Mecha “Wild Boar.”

His hands naturally reached out to either side, transmitting a familiar grip similar to the RX-16.

That rugged yet delicate feeling, the 176 key positions in front of him, and the Half-Circle cockpit made Mu Fan feel as though he had truly returned to the Sword and Shield Mecha of the RX-16.

Moreover, the control panel’s key arrangements were very comfortable, and Mu Fan was extremely curious; they were nothing like the unfriendly key arrangements of the previous “Bone Fossil.”

Could it be that the biomimetic forms of Wild Boar and the ostrich were different, hence the different key designs?

Mu Fan still couldn’t control the Mecha, as he was suspended in mid-air while the Mecha was rapidly descending.

Thud~

A heavy sound resonated, letting Mu Fan know that the Mecha had finally landed, and the system countdown had also ended.

A three-dimensional holographic image of the Mecha itself appeared on the screen.

Mu Fan’s eyes widened, growing rounder, his eyes beginning to sparkle with light.

His excitement was difficult to contain because–

It was actually a Human-shaped Mecha!

Its brown outer shell coating, with a rapid-fire rifle strapped to the Mecha’s back, the coloring on the fists noticeably reddened, a small shield on the left forearm, and the right fist clenched in a pose of readiness.

“Wild Boar”

Equipped with the fourth-generation main engine X1 and terrestrial auxiliary propulsion unit X2.

Weapons equipped: left and right arm jet Charging Punches, Super Titanium Alloy Retractable Shield (capable of timely adjustments between 1-5x area), 45mm Rapid Fire Rifle.

The entire Mecha’s body was bulky, and its style was just like the RX-16, but the armor distribution seemed a bit rough in Mu Fan’s view.

Compared to the integrated feeling of the full body Heavy Shields of the RX-16, it was like a previous generation product.

Mu Fan had no idea he had accidentally stumbled upon something; “Wild Boar” was a Mecha mass produced years ago by the military for large-scale ground combat. When this Mecha was developed, Sword and Shield Mechas were still in the exploratory stage, but the basic elements were preserved.

Rough-skinned, low-cost.

At this moment, “Wild Boar” was lacking an Alloy Heavy Sword, replaced instead by jet punches.

“So you’re the most normal Mecha,” Mu Fan muttered excitedly to himself.

All’s well that ends well!

If only he knew why he had stupidly chosen those other two Mechas.

As for the rifle on the back, forget it; such weapons that couldn’t aim automatically and required constant directional correction through the arms were definitely not suitable for him.

This was nothing like the MG Particle Cannons that could attack over a wide area; missing by even a centimeter meant a miss.

Running and shooting, White Hair probably excelled in this type of combat, right?

Thus, Mu Fan immediately determined that this Mecha suited him best–making good use of these fists and the seemingly magical Retractable Shield!

Mu Fan’s eyes locked onto a handle, his left hand reaching out and gently grasping it.

Hiss!

A ring-like pattern reminiscent of a beast totem on the shield suddenly expanded outward, allowing the area of the shield to be adjusted through palm-pressure.

Now, this shield was quite to Mu Fan’s liking, and after trying it out a few times, he released his hand, returning the shield to its original shape.

Then, there were buttons on either side of the handle, which Mu Fan gripped and stretched the Mecha’s arms straight before pressing them down.

Bang, bang!

Two fists and the connection at the wrist suddenly ejected a white airflow, then heavily hammered into the opposite wall.

Only then did Mu Fan realize that the battle had already started!

How to retract them?

Now with both arms lacking palms, that wouldn’t do.

Luckily, the system had comprehensive operation instructions; pinching the button and pulling it outwards on the thumb brought the two Iron Fists flying back from the wall, clicking twice as they regained mechanical functionality.

It looked like these two fists had been specially reinforced.

As for the Rapid Fire Gun behind him, Mu Fan felt it was far less practical than the two fists in his hands during actual combat.

Alright, now that he was familiar with it, Mu Fan no longer felt the uncertainty he had earlier.

He was brimming with confidence!

He finally saw a mecha he could operate.

What’s with this mysterious “Qingxue,” thinking of blowing him up without saying a word?

It seemed like every Tom, Dick, and Harry was popping up!

The two previous losses were definitely due to his unfamiliarity with the mecha.

Now, Mu Fan was determined to absolutely destroy his opponent.

To mark his first resounding victory on his record!

In the urban alley combat map, Mu Fan had just reviewed the aerial view; it was roughly three times the length of the arena but relatively narrow in width and had multiple buildings for cover.

Thus, the weapons suitable for this scenario would be large-caliber close-range firearms, rapid-fire weapons, and a variety of cold weapons.

The terrain was also in his favor.

A smile appeared on Mu Fan’s face as he felt even more confident about the impending victory.

On the other side of the road, behind several large buildings, stood a pale Mulan Mecha, quietly motionless.

As a benchmark among the fifth-generation mechas, this military mecha had achieved an extreme balance between movement and shooting.

Unlike the account he used in the Mecha Club training room, this mecha did not undergo the substantial optimizations like the pristine white Mulan Modified.

Its engine performance returned to normal, and the external firepower was restored; however, as the mecha had a rich selection of open weapon interfaces, players could make some weapon choices before driving.

Thus, the iconic sniper rifle was the first to be discarded by Lu Qingxue, replaced by a Magnetic Vibrating Sword.

The magic-modified high-frequency weapon that appeared in the Mulan Modified, the High-frequency Sword, could not be used as it was a high-tier weapon exchanged for numerous points.

After all, in reality, mechas equipped with high-frequency weapons were all renowned.

The Magnetic Vibrating Sword also had a high-frequency vibration effect, but due to the material restrictions, it could not achieve the effect of cutting through iron like slicing through mud as the true high-frequency weapons could.

Its greatest advantage was that it could keep costs very low while ensuring a certain level of power.

Now, Lu Qingxue’s Mulan Mecha retained the hand-held rotating rocket and that Magnetic Vibrating Sword.

She discarded all other external firepower.

A martial artist should never lose mobility under any circumstances.

With the Magnetic Vibrating Sword at her side, the Mulan Mecha began to run through the streets.

On the other side, the Wild Boar Mecha also started its impressive charge.

This was a 1v1 urban alley map battle, a super-small-sized map, so both mechas appeared on each other’s radar; there was no chance for concealment or surprise attacks, only technical maneuvers using mechas and terrain.

Both had a clear goal–to crush the opponent!

Now, Mu Fan felt like a fish in water as he swept across the control console, achieving close to 400 apm without activating the “Dark Breath” mode, which allowed even a mecha without a Body Coordination Device to achieve an immensely natural and fluid running posture.

It was as if a person was running, adapting to the terrain with each step, incredibly agile.

This was his rhythm!

The target was getting closer; ahead was a low house, leaping over which would bring them into combat.

The Wild Boar Mecha took a large step with its legs, stamped on a nearby wall, and then leaped onto the roof with the force of the engine’s jets.

As the brown mecha emerged, a barrage of six rockets came hurtling towards it.

This caused the radar, just catching the signals, to emit a sharp alarm.

Mu Fan, incredibly calm, swept across the control console, pushed with his left arm, and then pressed down.

The Chaotic Zigzag Step reappeared!

Just as it leaped onto the roof, the Wild Boar nimbly dodged, while at the same time, the Super Titanium Alloy Retractable Shield swiftly expanded!
