Chapter 39 (2/2)

Mu Fan’s face flushed as he believed that he could successfully complete the first step after Black had explained everything to him for so long.

“Mu Fan, the pose earlier was so embarrassing. I took a photo! Check it out!” Black flew towards Mu Fan as its eyes projected out a photo.

The EH01 was lying in a weird position that was as ugly as it could be while facing upward.

So embarrassing! Mu Fan thought as he had boasted too much.

What he didn’t know was that most of the mechs in the PO Battle Network only had half of the control buttons, and the mech that Black gave him was a 100%-accurate remake of the original mech based on real data. The outer shell may look the same, yet the differences laid within.

“I… I’ll try again.” This was the first time that Mu Fan didn’t feel confident when he talked to Black.

“Hahahahaha. Alright, Lord Black is very generous. I’ll explain it to you again. Here, I’ll teach you how to get up first. Push the red control lever no. 2 (2R) to the 0.7 mark with your right hand. Then, press A8, C6, and H1 on the control panel consecutively. Your left hand should push the blue no. 1 (1B) and red no. 3 control lever (3R) at the same time. Pause for two seconds, and then use your right hand to switch the control lever. Steady now… Yes, that’s right…”

Mu Fan didn’t take his first step, but he successfully controlled the mech to make it stand up by following Black’s instructions.

Mu Fan could feel tears gathering in his eyes as he finally succeeded.

The white skeleton-like EH01 stood up slowly in this abandoned base, making its first step!

Meanwhile, Mu Fan was completely focused in the cockpit with both of his hands moving across the control panel and levers.

“Don’t look down! Remember every button you’ve pressed!”

Black scolded Mu Fan when it noticed him looking down to confirm the control buttons, and Mu Fan’s hands shook a little when his focus got interrupted.

Pang! EH01 fell onto the ground again.

“Mu Fan, you idiot!”

“Falling again…”

“Gosh! Lord Egg! Please don’t disappoint Lord Black!”

Black was excited when scolding Mu Fan as it finally had the chance to do so. The two eyes on the metal ball were squinting into two lines, which meant that Black couldn’t have been happier! It felt dominating!

Two hours later, when Mu Fan was about to doubt his abilities, he finally reached Black’s standard, piloting the mech to walk ten steps without falling.

Mu Fan slouched back onto his driver’s seat as he felt like this was more tiring than trying to survive by fighting off the beasts in the wilderness. His head was bursting with the countless control buttons that he had to remember to simply keep the mech’s balance while walking, and he couldn’t even imagine how it would be if he was to fight with this mech.

“Aren’t there any simpler ways to operate a mech?!” Mu Fan complained as this was different from what he learned before.

“No!” Black lied while keeping a straight face. There was no way that it would tell Mu Fan that there would be brain synchronization in the future. However, such things couldn’t be used in harsh conditions. That’s right; just train according to this plan I have right now.

The poor Mu Fan was still upset by his “horrible” performance, and he looked at Black apologetically as he said, “Black, am I disappointing you too much?”

Black flew around Mu Fan and said affirmatively, “Yes! Which means that you should work harder to get better! Keep on fighting, young man!”

Mu Fan nodded his head with determination in his eyes.
