Chapter 69: Earth Dragon Type I
Wang Yu naturally agreed without hesitation.
That night, when he returned to his place, he saw a black game pod that looked like Sleep Cabin Type Zero by his bed, along with a user manual.
Wang Yu glanced over the manual and excitedly opened the lid, immediately lying down inside.
When the dark lid closed, everything went pitch black, not a single ray of light was seen.
But the next moment, soft, jelly-like substances sprayed out from all sides, instantly wrapping around his body. At the same time, he felt a tingling sensation on his head and neck, as if something was closely pressed against him.
Wang Yu saw flashes of white light, and he felt like he was spinning until everything brightened up, and he found himself standing in a bustling, barren land, like a desert with dry, pale red sand underfoot.
Surrounding him was a crowd of people dressed in the same uniform, easily numbering over a thousand. Each person wore a dark green tight military suit and a fully enclosed silver helmet with a blue planet badge on the side.
Even more surprising were the six or seven-meter-tall black mechas standing around the crowd, with round heads, square bulging bodies, long limbs, and some carrying large, golden serrated blades, while others had silver rifles with barrels two to three meters long.
"Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong, you are here again for the new soldier training."
"This time I spent a lot of money to hire a real Mecha Master for a week of training, and I believe I can pass the new soldier training camp."
"The new members of the Mecha Master Guild have gathered, with a big leader organizing everything, trying to team up to pass together."
"Haha, Earth Dragon Type I, here I come! I have researched strategies for three days and nights, and I have predicted every possible thing that might happen, I believe I can pass the new soldier training camp."
"Earth Dragon Type I, a true man’s dream. I am willing to face fire and water for you, even if I have to die ten or twenty times, I will definitely get you."
"Complaint, complaint, the game company is too much! They made the newbie level so hard, forcing us to refresh the training camp over and over. Everyone, let’s complain to the game company for the trauma caused to our innocent hearts and demand compensation for our mental distress."
…
A burst of noise and laughter came from nearby.
Among the crowd, only about one-fifth were soldiers, with the words "Player" flashing clearly above their helmets.
Tsk tsk, this game pod is truly top-notch. The virtual effects are hundreds of times better than the old virtual glasses; it’s almost hard to tell the difference from the real world!
Wang Yu sighed to himself, then skillfully reached up to touch the silver helmet on his head. Immediately, with a crackling sound, a small white screen appeared in front of him.
After skillfully tapping the screen a few times, the noisy voices of other players disappeared, leaving only the lovely voice of a woman echoing in his ears.
"Blue Star Alliance rookie team 146, Mecha Master squad, please gather quickly. We will depart to support Mars Base in ten minutes. Support staff, please complete the final checks on the mecha and finish preparations."
In the surrounding crowd, soldiers without the word "player" on their helmets grouped in threes and fours around the black mechas, skillfully using various tools to perform last-minute checks.
"Huh, why are the options for ‘bloodshed shield’ and ‘pain reduction’ missing?"
Wang Yu suddenly made a light sound of surprise, and after a moment of searching on the white screen, he could only puzzledly swipe one hand to turn the screen off.
Then, he looked at his palm, which was wearing a silver glove. On the back of the glove was a prominent black number 18.
"Everything else is pretty much the same as in the internal test. Did they just raise the difficulty for rookies? Why are so many people complaining about the newbie training camp? I remember it being easy to pass before," Wang Yu murmured, then remembered something and looked up at the sky.
High above in the sky, there was a huge gray spaceship, about three to four hundred meters long, silently rising into the air.
Wang Yu looked at the blue planet emblem, which was the same as the one below the spaceship, and remembered what Dr. Chen had said; his eyes flickered slightly.
Then he lowered his head and glanced around at the mechas, finding a black mecha with the same number 18 symbol, and walked over quickly.
In front of the black mecha number 18, three male soldiers and one female soldier were swiftly pouring liquid from blue crystal rods into a round hole in the mecha’s leg.
When the graceful female soldier saw Wang Yu approaching, she immediately came forward, saluted, and said clearly,
"Ding Yu’s Mecha Master, the mecha has been checked, and energy is being added; everything will be ready in about a minute."
"Thank you for your hard work, I will board now," Wang Yu said while looking at her face, which was completely covered by a pale mask, and returned a salute.
The woman also saluted again and quickly ran back to her original position.
Wang Yu watched the woman’s figure, thought for a moment, and then walked up to the black mecha, gently touching its calf.
It was very cold and very smooth. When he tapped it with his gloved finger, no sound came out.
Wang Yu saw this and raised his eyebrow slightly. He tapped the helmet again with one hand.
With a whoosh.
From the helmet, large silver threads flew out, wrapping around Wang Yu in an instant, turning into a uniquely designed fitted armor.
The silver armor looked very thin, but had hundreds of circular connections from the back to the soles of his feet, giving it a futuristic sci-fi feel.
"Gate 18, open the boarding gate."
Wang Yu said softly to the black mecha.
The head of the black mecha lowered with a clunk, and from its featureless, bare face, a red light shot out, enveloping Wang Yu.
"Voice perfectly matches, biological signature perfectly matches. Ding Yu, prepare Mecha Master, please board."
A strange electronic sound came from the head of the mecha.
As soon as the words were spoken, the mecha made a dull "thud" sound and knelt down by itself, while a red light flashed in its belly and slowly opened a round entrance about the height of a person.
Wang Yu skillfully stepped onto the mecha’s kneeling thigh, jumped twice, and then slipped into the round entrance.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh"
As soon as he entered the mecha’s belly, which was covered in red light, countless transparent strands of light shot out from all directions and instantly inserted into every joint of his silver-white armor.
With a loud "clang," the door quickly closed.
Then, with a "whoosh," his body turned and surprisingly floated inside the mecha’s belly.
At the same time, strange electronic synthetic sounds continued to echo inside the mecha.
"Artificial gravity traction activated successfully."
"The connection to the light particle nerves was successful, and the synchronization of human and machine nerves has begun…"
