Chapter 20 (2/2)

As for the two mechs, they had shattered into pieces already.

“You underestimated Grandpa Chubby, eh? I’ve got the highest-level automatic seeking explosives in Fantasy Mode within my sixth generation mech,” Chubby Harry said while grinding his teeth together viciously.

The two red dots on the radar disappeared.

“Damn it! No. 3 and No. 6, calling on No. 3 and No. 6, copy if you receive this, over.” The captain of the opponent team was calling out to his teammates in the team communication channel, but unfortunately, there was no response.

System announcement: ‘Lemon Balloon’ killed ‘Johnson’.

System announcement: ‘Lemon Balloon’ killed ‘Zeldaka’.

System announcement: ‘Lemon Balloon’ obtained a double kill.

“Hahahahahahaha! You bunch of losers!” Chubby Harry’s voice came from the ruins through a speaker.

Bam!

The bright orange mech was like a lighthouse in the dark. With the sound of a crisp gunshot, the energy reactor of Chubby Harry’s mech was torn apart by a huge bullet from a sniper rifle, leading to a heated energy explosion.

“You son of…” Chubby Harry didn’t even get to spit out his last words before he was engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

There were many fewer players in the waiting zone now when Chubby Harry reappeared here. Then, he lounged on a sofa, looking upset.

“I’m so tired of those noob teammates!” Chubby Harry said with resentment about that battle. No teamwork and strategy; a complete mess. If my mech wasn’t good enough to destroy two enemies, this would’ve been a totally one-sided stomp.

Ay? Did I forget something?

Chubby Harry slapped his forehead as he remembered. Mu Fan said that he finished already. I almost forgot to reply to him since that battle earlier was too intense.

“Video call requested; accept or reject?”

Mu Fan has been staring at his wristband for a few minutes, and he finally heard the crisp notification sound about the video call request.

“Mu Fan? You’re out so early. See? I told you that it’s a boring training session.” Chubby Harry still looked upset from the battle earlier.

“Yeah, the training’s done. What do we do now?” Mu Fan didn’t want to explain much as it was embarrassing that he died twice, and it felt so real. Also, he wasn’t the type of person to explain everything.

Chubby Harry sighed as he said, sounding upset, “I was in a battle, and I didn’t notice your message. Those losers beat me too. Damn.”

Mu Fan did not have a complete concept of winning and losing yet, so he asked, “What do we do now?”

Chubby Harry seemed more upset as he noticed that Mu Fan didn’t give him a reaction. He said with a sad face, “Wait, I’ll send you the coordinates, and you can come here using the portal beside the training camp.”

“Beep. Received the coordinates that your friend ‘Lemon Balloon’ shared. Do you want to sync it into the navigation system?”

“Yes.” Mu Fan clicked the [Yes] button, and the route was projected onto the light display screen. He looked up at the map and confirmed the location of the portal that was ahead and slightly to the right. It was flashing white light as there were already many people entering and exiting.

Mu Fan walked over to that egg-shell-like structure and realized that there weren’t as many people as he had expected. There was only him inside, and it seemed like that PO Battle Network could automatically open an individual portal for everyone during teleportation.

An automatic message appeared on a floating rectangular automatic controlling station. [Please say or enter the teleportation destination.]

“Teleport destination coordinates XXXX, XXXX.”

“Confirmed, Player ‘Lord Egg’. Please enter the teleportation circle. Beginning teleportation.”

A light flashed by as Mu Fan, the blank slate rookie who hadn’t finished the individual combat training nor received any mech operation training, teleported out of the newbie base.
