Chapter 470: A Clumsy Debut (2/2)

”What is that... thing...”

The moment Ye Chong entered the field in the experiment unit, people were laughing uncontrollably. The mech did look awkward... as if some deformed baby. It took a few minutes for the mech to complete its debut as unlike most mechs, this mech just dawdled its way to the center.

”What?” Powell could not believe his eyes, never once he imagined the experiment unit being such a failure. He would never let Number 231 pilot it if he did.

Upon seeing the disproportionally designed machine, Xi Qing shook his head again, the tip of his pen was going to make the first slash of the cruel cross, but it stopped. ”On second thought...” Xi Qing decided to watch the fight first.

In the midst of laughter, there was a group of people watching Number 231's entry in dead silence. They were the following candidates and had witnessed Number 231's performance before.

They were convinced by Number 231's strength and surely one with such strength would possess a mech befitting to his capabilities. They would not look down upon the mech because of its appearance.

They were anticipating more surprises from Number 231.

Ye Chong was calm, as he seemed to have recovered to his prime.

If he were to fight against the examiner before, he doubted he would stand a chance. But he was going to fight a different examiner and against this examiner, he felt he had a better chance.

The examiner was none other than a piece of vase, one with only the outside. That was Ye Chong's comment as he perceived the showy tendency of this examiner. He was not sure if the flaunting habit came from the examiner himself or it was a side effect of the screams by the spectators. Ye Chong felt everything was unnecessary and pointless. It was a poor habit that he could utilize to maximize his likelihood to victory!

Moreover, this examiner seemed to fancy turns a lot. Making turns was the bread and butter of Ye Chong's battle after conducting the intensive training course designed by Mu. He had a deeper understanding of turn-leaping during his adventure and he believed the experience would be helpful in this fight.

Ye Chong was looking still above the triangular control panel, as the mech clumsily sank in the ground.

”Start!”

The opposing mech launched itself towards Ye Chong. The pilot seemingly wanted a quick fight, which indirectly could be translated as the pilot did not see Number 231 a worthy opponent in his eyes.

Ye Chong was not reacting towards the examiner's arrogance.

Ye Chong's mind captured a few spots. The left rib, the right knee! If he was piloting Han Jia, he was confident to attack any of those critical points within the few seconds. Then it would indeed be a quick fight, as the examiner wished, just the outcome would be different to what he presumed.

Too bad Ye Chong was not piloting Han Jia.

Ye Chong eventually had to give up the one golden opportunity to attack since he was sitting in a piece of failed experiment unit.

His hands foreignly inputted a few commands, which prompted the mech to make a heavy stomp and a guard with its arms.

Xi Qing shook his head helplessly as he found Number 231's moves to be rather jarring.

Certainly the candidates were feeling the same too. They were surprised.

”When did they allow greenhorns to join the consortium?”

”Talking about standards...”

Ye Chong was on his guard. A guarding mech would have a smaller and manageable movements, while giving higher demand towards prediction on the foe's moves. Well that was not challenging to Ye Chong, at all.

He had a plan in his mind. The experiment mech curled itself up, waiting for the attack!
