Chapter 45 (2/2)
“And then?” Mu Fan asked in a straightforward manner.
“So, the goal of the Host’s training is to operate an adventurer-level military mech equipped with a fifth-generation engine to defeat the warrior-level Wind Stealer and Lightning Striker. Through researching the public available data, there are 37 military mech stations on Planet Loga. Please choose the closest station when the confrontation occurs.”
“Why do I have to choose the closest one?” Mu Fan had a bad feeling about this.
“To steal a mech of the military and battle the interstellar pirate group. Based on my calculation, the chance of overall victory would be 15% if you get defeated in the mech battle and 85% if you win the mech battle. Also, the success rate of the battle when you operate an adventurer-level mech and fight a warrior-level mech is 30%,” Black gave Mu Fan the answer that made him speechless.
First, he had to sneak through the radar and steal a military mech. Then, he had to use it to fight the mechs of the interstellar pirates. After winning the mech battle with a low probability, there would be an 85% chance of defeating the interstellar pirate group. This plan sounded pretty unachievable and unreliable.
However, Mu Fan didn’t think much and agreed since he had trust in Black. “Alright!”
After Mu Fan had agreed, a green light flashed on Black’s body, and its tone returned to normal. It was the A.I. with emotions again.
“Mu Fan, don’t worry too much. I didn’t include the case where I’m also inside the mech in the calculations. I’ll assist you when the time comes, so don’t worry.”
“Oh right, I gave you all the information just now. But aside from that, I need you to surpass level-40 in the gravitational room and reach at least level-18 in your physique. This may be easier for you than learning to operate the mech. According to research, the current widely used model on Planet Loga is the RX series, with Model RX-16 for ground combat, RX-25 for long-range bombing combat, and RX-33 for small skirmishes.”
A huge light screen was projected out of Black’s eyes, showing the exterior of the three RX models. RX-16 was holding a sword and a shield, RX-25 had a long-barrel cannon and a transformable self-propelled cannon, and RX-33 looked like a plane.
“Mu Fan, these three mechs are the strongest weapons that UGF has for this planet. The operation mode for each mech is different, and we are short on time. I suggest you pilot the first one, RX-16. Also, get a micro wireless earphone tomorrow; I will take control of all the monitors within twenty kilometers. That way, if the war occurs, I can lead you onto the shortest path towards the closest military station.”
Mu Fan nodded and pointed at the first model without hesitation, “I pick this one, Model RX-16.”
“Copy that.” The other two models disappeared in the projection, leaving only this RX-16. Then, it slowly appeared in front of Mu Fan.
The red diamond-shaped shield was locked onto the left forearm, and the right arm had a wide silver-white metal sword shining a cold light. The hull was thick and rectangular with blue and white stripes, the armor was strengthened at critical points, and two energy thrusters facing downward were hidden inside the reactive armor on the back. The entire mech looked strong and sturdy, and there were eight enforcers on the feet to support the mech, making it stand upright. There was also a single-hand quick-firing gun on the back for creating a barrage during team battles.
This was a standard military combat mech with the most basic settings; there weren’t even extra modifications.
The wild and grand design made it hard for Mu Fan to be dissatisfied; it was way better than Model EH01 that he had piloted. Yet, this was only an adventurer-level mech, and Mu Fan wondered what warrior-level mechs looked like. He was already curious with the warrior-level mechs that he had never seen before, and he was even more curious about those names that he had never heard of before. The superior-level, ultimator-level, and emperor-level… What were those like?
Black quickly interrupted his train of thought. “Mu Fan, in this base, I can create everything that the PO Battle Network has to offer. Starting from now, you can get yourself familiar with this mech model.”
“Also, based on calculations, you can find four mech operation techniques in the Fantasy-Mode combat zone in the PO Battle Network. You can master them through practice,” Black said calmly, and Mu Fan didn’t detect anything wrong. He didn’t have a concept of what techniques were like in Fantasy-Mode… Those were the techniques that only existed in people’s imaginations.
Chubby Harry never explained this in detail, and Mu Fan didn’t have much care for that either.
Therefore, when Black said this with all seriousness, Mu Fan answered with gratitude, “Thank you, Black.”
“No need to thank me, Mu Fan. You’re the host, and your safety is the priority in any situation. Now, please enter the cockpit, and let’s learn the 208-button control panel,” Black sounded more human, and Mu Fan even felt that it was touched by his words. Perhaps Mu Fan was having an illusion.
“Now, onto the first training – movement technique, Hollow Flash!”
