To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 344: Chapter 215 Special Training (Second Update) _2

“`

“So, Xiemen Waidao, what about you?”

“I’ll stay behind, coordinate with Monkey, and mainly be responsible for holding off the united mecha. According to the scenario, I can’t provide you with direct support; I can only cooperate in this way. But there shouldn’t be a problem with Monkey around; everything should be manageable with him.”

Finding Xiemen Waidao’s high regard for Monkey, Teddy Bear asked in a low voice, “I know Monkey is awesome, but how awesome is he exactly?”

Pointing at himself, Xiemen Waidao said, “I am the runner-up of the ‘Spirit Vessel’ championship, and that freak who just flew off is the champion. Although we snatched our titles by a surprise attack, our strength is also incredibly formidable. But Monkey, he could fight any of us with just one hand tied behind his back and still dominate.”

Teddy Bear took a sharp breath, “Then isn’t he the best pilot?”

“No, it’s said that their boss can beat him without even using his hands.”

“Not use hands, what then? Who in the world is their boss?”

“I don’t know, but I feel Monkey is serious.”

Teddy Bear was momentarily speechless, feeling that this world’s geniuses were truly incomprehensible.

At that time, Monkey had also finished gearing up and then said to Teddy Bear, “Alright, come here.”

Hurriedly catching up, Teddy Bear asked, “Where are we going?”

“To the arena.”

“What are we going to do at the arena?”

“Train.”

Teddy Bear couldn’t see why Monkey still needed to train when he was so skilled.

But he still followed Monkey to the arena and subsequently found out that this place rightly deserved to be the game’s main scene.

The immense Tower of Competition towered into the clouds, and a manmade satellite floating in the air used a force field to anchor the arena, allowing its height to extend indefinitely upwards.

The whole planet had been remodeled into the logistical area of the Tower of Competition, with gigantic cities all serving the mecha battles, ensuring that its pilots had no worries behind them.

Every pilot who managed to enter the Tower of Competition was a star pilot, and those in the top one hundred had unparalleled prestige, becoming the objects of everyone’s admiration.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mecha enthusiasts from all over the world gathered here, discussing their favorite mecha, and there were even dedicated areas for them to place bets, wagering on which mecha would win.

Finding out that gambling was even possible here, Teddy Bear immediately rubbed his hands together, ready to make a hefty bet.

But as he approached, he realized that one needed a voucher to participate in the betting.

Pulling Monkey aside, Teddy Bear asked, “You need a voucher to gamble, how do we get one?”

“There’s no way to get a voucher. This place is just for show. It’s here to provide a sense of realism, but gambling isn’t allowed in the game.”

Teddy Bear sighed, “Ah… I was all set to make a fortune overnight with my unique insight.”

“You should be grateful we didn’t give you an opportunity to lose money.”

Seeing that Teddy Bear still seemed unconvinced, Monkey led him to a large screen.

At the moment, the screen was showing a mecha duel, with about six thousand spectators. The duel was between a petite three-meter-tall mecha and a burly four-meter-tall one.

At first glance, the petite mecha seemed to be at a disadvantage, barely able to defend itself.

The burly mecha wasn’t quick, but its combat awareness was extremely sharp, each punch landing with a denting crunch of twisting steel, clearly overpowering the smaller one.

Pointing to the screen, Monkey asked, “Who do you think will win?”

“Although it seems obvious that the burly mecha will win, since you’re asking, I’ll take the opposite approach. I bet on the petite mecha!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the petite mecha missed a beat, caught by a flaw that the burly mecha exploited.

A punch thundered out, smashing the petite mecha into pieces. Its body fragmented, scattering across the arena to the excited cheers of the audience.

Watching the petite mecha go from 3D to 2D, Teddy Bear fell silent.

Monkey didn’t tease his counterpart but simply said, “Alright, let’s go train.”

“Okay.”

“`

The Teddy Bear accepted the fact that it knew nothing, and then it had even less confidence in itself.

Silently following the Monkey to an experience hall, the Monkey took out the money borrowed from the leader of the scavengers and handed it to the attendant, then he started a virtual training machine.

Seeing the Monkey begin to connect the miscellaneous Mecha to the training machine, the Teddy Bear asked with confusion, “Did we come here to train? Aren’t we going to climb the tower directly?”

“I could go climb direct, but climbing the tower to a certain extent will trigger an Artificial Artifact Spirit event, which is unrelated to whether the novice plot is completed. So we won’t climb the tower until you have enough ability,” the Monkey explained.

“So you mean… you’re here to train me?”

“Exactly.”

The Teddy Bear suddenly found it ridiculous. After all, it was an Artifact Spirit, a soul attached to a Mecha, no consciousness knew Mecha better than it did!

However, it felt that the Monkey was correct, it really should be trained.

As the Monkey was connecting the Mecha, he said, “In this arena, we first need to obtain the qualification to be selected, and then climb up from ten thousand places. To get the qualification, you need to defeat the examiner here. The setting of the examiner is based on the previous auditions, but the strength of the opponent is much weaker than the AI Mecha used during the auditions.”

“Oh, so they don’t sound very formidable?”

“Is that so.”

The Monkey had completed the Mecha setup, then he gestured for the Teddy Bear to come over.

The Teddy Bear walked over, bewildered, and was then forcefully pushed by the Monkey into a seat similar to a pilot’s chair, after which it lost consciousness.

When it woke up again, it found that its body had been switched to a different one.

The new body was very burly and massive, and its field of view was incredibly vast.

Gently clenching its fist, it found itself full of power.

Before it could understand why this had happened, it saw a Mecha appear in front of it.

This Mecha looked ordinary, with no special features to it.

Just as the Teddy Bear was about to ask, its vision blurred, and the Mecha in front of it suddenly disappeared, then approached at high speed, getting right in the Teddy Bear’s face.

The opponent’s strength wasn’t significant, but it was very fast. The Teddy Bear hadn’t had time to react when it was outflanked, and with a punch, it was sent flying.

Although it couldn’t feel pain, being thrown a far distance still humiliated the Teddy Bear greatly.

Getting back on its feet, it was just about to retaliate, but the opponent had already gotten close to its face and then kicked its power furnace, shattering it with a kick.

“Challenge failed.”

An electronic synthesized voice rang out, and everything around it suddenly disappeared.

When it came to, it was still in the pilot’s chair, never having left it.

The Monkey was looking at the data from its previous match, his expressionless face giving the Teddy Bear a sense of crisis, not knowing what he was thinking right now.

Climbing up awkwardly, the Teddy Bear pulled out the data cables from itself and sat down next to the Monkey.

“How was it? Was it very bad? That… am I really that bad?”

Recalling its two failures, the Teddy Bear felt even more ashamed.

“What are you talking about?” the Monkey said in surprise, “You did very well. Being able to adapt to the Mecha right away, you’re truly worthy of being an Artifact Spirit. Your familiarity with the Mecha is really impressive. And that flip you did afterwards was particularly agile, something ordinary pilots simply couldn’t do.”

“Really?”

“I never lie, it was really impressive. But you’re still a bit weak on combat consciousness, however, that can be improved. According to the settings, after an Artifact Spirit awakens, all memories and special abilities will converge in a special chip. As long as you keep training yourself, your chip will become more powerful, and so will you,” the Monkey elaborated.

Looking at the Monkey, the Teddy Bear suddenly felt moved.

Being trusted by someone felt really good.

Wiping away non-existent tears, the Teddy Bear asked, “What should I do next?”

“Keep fighting, until you win,” the Monkey replied.
