Chapter 20 Chapter 020 [Two in One]

Yun Xingze looked at the tall alpha in front of him and proactively stretched out his hand: “Please advise.”

Kaleb looked at his hand with an indifferent expression. After a while, he stretched out his hand and shook it briefly without speaking.

The corners of his eyes were slightly raised under his red hair. His eyes holding a hostility that was not of his age, and his tight lips revealed his bad temper.

Before the two released their mechas, the referee walked up to Yun Xingze and reminded in a low voice: “In a while, if you can’t hold on or if you have any other accidents, immediately press the help button, or turn on the PA system and tell me. I will stop the game.”

Yun Xingze retracted his gaze from the violent red-haired boy and nodded to the referee, but his expression was not as nervous as the referee expected.

Kaleb turned and walked a few steps, releasing his comet mecha in the designated area.

The seven to eight meters tall mecha is considered a medium-small mecha. The entire body is black, but the accessories being held are scarlet. They are clearly the weapons used to disassemble enemy mechas.

When Yun Xingze watched the videos, he carefully observed Kaleb’s mecha. There were a lot of weapons on it, and the two chain swords could launch a swift attack on the enemy from a tricky angle.

The moment Kaleb’s mecha was released, Yun Xingze silently recorded the mecha’s data in his mind.

When the people in the audience saw Kaleb release the mecha, they began to worry for Yun Xingze.

“It’s here – it’s the comet mecha that destroyed countless other mechas.”

“That little first-year omega is driving a lightsaber mecha; he will be hanged and beaten.”

“Speaking about his lightsaber mecha. It’s so ugly, if I were Kaleb, I would have no interest in tearing it down.”

“Look, he’s going to release that ugly mecha.”

Yun Xingze glanced at the mecha cube in his hand. One of the sides of the hexahedron had an extra small part jutting out – it was the most important “accessory” he added when refitting the mecha.

Yun Xingze threw the mecha cube. The small accessory piece immediately separated from the primary cube, and began to reveal itself alongside the mecha.

Sharp-eyed audience members quickly discovered the scene.

“His mecha cube… seems to have two parts?”

“Two parts? Isn’t that what happens when a double star mecha is unfolded?”

“There are really two mecha cubes! Did he convert the lightsaber mech into a double star mecha?!”

“How is this possible?! It’s very difficult to control a double star mecha!”

A lightsaber mecha nearly ten meters tall appeared in the center of the field. Like last time, many people saw this mecha for the first time. They were similarly shocked by its color scheme. But what was even more surprising was the more than three meters tall beast-shaped reconnaissance mech that appeared beside the lightsaber mecha.

It meant that Yun Xingze converted the lightsaber mecha into a double star mecha.

This reconnaissance mech was the accessory given by Boss Chu in the underground black market when I bought the lightsaber mecha previously.

Speaking of which, Yun Xingze had to thank Luo Wenchuan. If he hadn’t given him tens of thousands of star coins in bonus, the boss wouldn’t have given him this accessory easily.

Since the reconnaissance mech looks like a mechanical tiger, Yun Xingze simply changed it into a tiger shape when he modified it.

There are not many changes. Its weapon system is strengthened, the damaged tail is removed, and the tail’s attack ability has been modified to a certain extent.

Because of his lack of money, Yun Xingze only bought the necessary parts for transforming the double star mecha, and used the remaining ugly parts for the rest.

When the “mechanical tiger” squatted obediently at the feet of the lightsaber mecha, the audience was attracted by it.

Black body, golden ears, green eyes, big red four legs, and an unaccounted tail.

“Very ugly reconnaissance mecha …”

“I thought that lightsaber mecha was ugly enough, I didn’t expect there to be something even uglier.”

“What kind of animal is that? Can’t distinguish it at all.”

“Is it really possible to convert a lightsaber mecha into a double star mecha?”

“It’s too risky. The double star mecha requires a high level of mental power control.”

Luo Wenchuan’s eyes fell on the mecha. His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn’t hear the contents of the conversation that day between Yun Xingze and Zhuo Feiyue. He could only guess at Yun Xingze’s modification plans, and was curious about it.

But he never expected that he would see a picture of “ugliness plus ugliness”.

Two ugly mechas, one large and one small, stood together. The picture was harmonious and ugly.

“Oh my God, Yun Xingze he actually…” Ke Lei stared at the two mechas blankly, unable to say a complete sentence for a moment. “How could he be… so weird! Who gave him the inspiration for this?!”

Luo Wenchuan heard his words, and suddenly remembered the scene of saving the cat that day. He pursed his thin lips, as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

He definitely will not admit that he was the inspiration.

Lu Ranxu sighed, a little helpless: “Xingze said that it was a tiger. No matter how I look at it, I think it looks like the cat with flawed intelligence my family used to raise. It not only looked ugly, but has acted mediocrely.”

“So what is he actually thinking?” Oriel held his forehead and couldn’t bear to look straight. “A double star mecha requires the driver’s mental power to be split. It will need twice the number of mental bonds, and is much more difficult to start up. Is his mental control ability that strong?”

“I also advised him at the beginning,” Lu Ranxu said slowly, looking at Yun Xingze’s double star mecha, “However, he successfully refitted the mecha in two days. That is a miracle in itself, So, let’s trust him again.”

Oriel raised his eyes to the center of the field after hearing this. Although the two mechas were ugly, it was a standard double star mecha. Have to say that that Yun Xingze’s modification ability really exceeded everyone’s imagination.

“He modified it himself?!” Chi Yu’s eyes widened, and he almost stood up. “When did Yun Xingze learn to modify mechas? That’s impossible! I have known him for so long – he barely understands mechas at all!”

Su Zinan couldn’t help frowning: “In theory, any mecha can be converted into a double star mecha. As long as it is equipped with a mental power shunt device and a signal transmitter, you can use mental power to control two mechas at the same time. But what is really difficult is the operation after modification.”

Su Zinan wondered if Yun Xingze was hoping that such indiscriminate modification would allow him to avoid the tragedy of being demolished?  It will only be dismantled even worse if he can’t drive the double star mecha.

Hearing this, Chi Yu looked at Yun Xingze worriedly.

Although a double star mecha is better at fighting a comet mecha than the lightsaber mecha, it is very difficult to start. Almost like a person controlling two hands to write different characters at the same time.

Yun Xingze’s move is really risky.

Even Kaleb showed a surprised expression after seeing the mecha.

Afterwards, he frowned and looked at Yun Xingze, opening his mouth to ask with a bit of annoyance: “Are you looking down on me? I don’t care if you want to change to a double star mecha, but why did you get a cat of such a poor quality? Is it a toy?”

“No,” Yun Xingze replied seriously. “It’s a little tiger.”

“Little tiger? It’s obviously a disabled cat.” Kaleb looked at the reconnaissance mecha with disgust. “It’s so ugly. There is no tail. What’s the use of it?”

The tail of a beast-shaped mecha is a very important combat tool. Kaleb naturally thinks it is inferior now that the mecha does not have a tail.

“You say it’s a cat, then it’s a cat.”1 Yun Xingze said to Kaleb. “However, if it does something bad to you in a while, don’t be angry.”

Kaleb frowned. “A disabled machine cat. What bad things can it do?”

Seeing the mechanical beast’s non-aggressive appearance, Kaleb decided to squash it with his foot.

[The fourth game of the second round of C arena will start in three minutes.]

The two entered their mechas at the same time.

The moment the comet mech was activated, a low roar carrying a murderous aura rang out. The scarlet weapons also became more shocking, as if Yun Xingze’s mecha was to be dismantled into eight pieces in the next second.

After Yun Xingze’s double star mecha activated, the eyes of the reconnaissance mecha lit up. In an instant, it changed from a toy without attack to a mechanical beast with a bit of aggressiveness.

However, due to the limited modification materials, the mecha could not be changed to look like a tiger. It really looked like a cat.

Yun Xingze decided to modify the lightsaber mech this way because he knew that a lightsaber mecha had no tactics. It relied solely on the driver’s skill, and his physical strength did not allow the game to be dragged for too long.

The black market boss gave him a reconnaissance mecha not for nothing.

During the modification process, Lu Ranxu kept trying to persuade him from the sidelines that a double star mecha was very unfriendly to novices, and what awaited him after getting started was to give up.

But Yun Xingze firmly said: “I don’t want my lightsaber mecha to be dismantled by Kaleb, even if it’s only a finger.” After speaking, he continued with the modifications.

Lu Ranxu was moved by Yun Xingze’s unyielding spirit, and almost shed tears: “Xingze, what on earth changed you so much?”

Yun Xingze answered in his heart, of course its poverty.

The mental splitter and signal transmitter are not expensive. They summed to more than 10,000, which cost Yun Xingze almost all the rest of his remaining money. In the end, he used one night to complete the double star mecha.

As its name suggests, the double star mecha is composed of two mechas, just like a double star system. Generally speaking, the mainframe is a small to medium-sized offensive mecha, while the secondary mecha is responsible for reconnaissance.

On the battlefield, double star mechas often act as front-line scouts, hiding themselves in complex terrain, and dispatching reconnaissance mechas to detect, monitor and interfere. It is one of the important mechas that appeared in the innovation of new mechas, and it has only been put into use in recent years.

The driver divides his mental power into two parts through the mental power splitter. Most is used to control the mainframe, and the other small part is used to control the reconnaissance mecha through the signal transmitter.

This method of operation is the most special and the most difficult of the six mechas.

Therefore, most of double star mechas’ reconnaissance mechas are semi-automatic or even fully automatic. As long as the controller uses mental power to give signals to attack, defend, or retreat, it will automatically attack the identified target.

It’s a bit like a master fighting with a pet, so the double star mecha is also called “dog walking mecha” or “master and servant mecha”.

But this automatic mode meant the upper limit of the double star mecha will not be very high. In the national competition last year, the number of double star mecha users ranked third, and among the top ten players, there was no double star mecha.

Fortunately, a double star mecha’s ability to interfere with a comet mecha is quite strong. In the arena, as long as Kaleb’s comet mecha is disturbed by the mechanical beast, Yun Xingze has a chance to fight back.

However, Yun Xingze’s intentions are much more than that.He didn’t want to control a fully automatic mechanical beast, but tried to control every movement of it with his mental power.

After testing it out in the mental power training room, simulation training cabin, and Mecha Star, Yun Xingze discovered that although his mental power could not control the mechanical beast 100%, he could reach 80% at least.

In the arena, Kaleb circled Yun Xingze for a while, and suddenly threw out two scarlet chain swords. The chain swords in the contracted state looked like two blood-stained knives.

Starting the mecha’s acceleration engine, he decisively attacked Yun Xingze.

The audience held their breath collectively.

Yun Xingze’s two mechas quickly separated. When the “toy cat” began moving, it carried a few points of a beast king’s momentum, and it’s speed matched a real star beast.

Kaleb had no distractions. His purpose was very clear as he ran straight towards the mainframe mecha.

Just as Kaleb was about to throw two chain swords out, suddenly a force entangled his legs.

The ugly cat also had two chain swords. Don’t know when it came to Kaleb’s back and began attacking and harassing him.

The audience burst into discussion at this scene. They didn’t expect that the mechanical beast could make such a powerful move.

“Stood up! The cat is up!”

“That reconnaissance mech is so flexible that it can actually use chain swords?!”

“Damn, why is it so fast. I didn’t even see when Kaleb’s legs were actually entangled?!”

“But those two chain swords are obviously a mini version, and different in length. It is inferior and he’ll soon be freed.”

As the audience can see, although the mechanical beast is fast and moves very flexible, its configuration is not comparable.

The comet mecha is small and very powerful. It turned around and quickly reached out to try to break the two inferior chain swords.

But what Kaleb didn’t expect was that the ugly cat retracted the chain sword and let him catch it!

Kaleb had a kind of irritation of being played around. He raised his foot and wanted to kick the mechanical beast directly.

The audience suddenly exclaimed at this moment.

“The host armor1 launched an attack!”

“Kaleb seems to be in danger…”

“It’s a sneak attack!”

Before the feet of the comet mecha touched the mechanical beast, he was suddenly hit twice from behind.

Although the pain of the mecha is transmitted to the nerves is attenuated a lot, Kaleb still felt the pain. He turned to look over and found that Yun Xingze attacked him with the host armor.

He threw the chain sword at his opponent without hesitation!

Just as the chain sword was about to wrap Yun Xingze’s mecha, he dodged at an extremely strange angle, activated the anti-gravity device and jumped up. While jumping, he directly blocked the chain sword with a lightsaber.

Kaleb startled slightly at the strong vibrations transmitted to his hand. He did not expect this omega to have so much power.

However, this also stimulated his fighting spirit a large extent. He retracted the chain sword, made a leap, and attacked Yun Xingze again.

He swears that the next move must be to tear down the opponent…

When the audience exclaimed again.

“The mechanical beast is going to attack Kaleb’s back!”

“Wow, that cat will imitate it’s owner’s behavior?”

“You’re wrong. Both mechas are controlled by Yun Xingze!”

“No, isn’t the reconnaissance mecha fully automatic?”

“I drive a double star mecha. There is no such command as a sneak attack!”

In the next second, the comet mecha’s back was scratched twice by the claws of the mechanical beast. Then, it took a small lightsaber and jabbed his spine hard.

Kaleb had a strong feeling of being humiliated, and turned to the ugly cat in anger.

However, as soon as he turned around, he felt a hint of coldness. And as expected, Yun Xingze drove the host armor to attack him again.

Whenever Kaleb tried to deal with the mechanical beast, Yun Xingze would attack his back.

When Kaleb wanted to deal with Yun Xingze himself, the mechanical beast ran to poke him.

This process was repeated several times, and Kaleb’s bad temper exploded. He couldn’t help turning on the PA system and roaring with a voice that could be heard by the whole audience: “What fucking shit is this?2 Is there is no end?!”

The referee quickly picked up the loudspeaker: “Yellow card warning once, will contestant Kaleb keep a civilized game.”

Everyone in the audience was amused by this scene. They did not expect that the frightening Kaleb would be played around by the first-year omega.

In the cockpit, there was the rare sight of Kaleb sweating.

Five minutes have passed since the game began. Not only did he not dismantle Yun Xingze’s mecha, he didn’t even touch his opponent.

But in the end, he has participated in several competitions, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

At present, Yun Xingze’s skill is beyond his imagination. The flexibility of that ugly cat is also far from that of ordinary automatic reconnaissance mechas.

The only explanation is that Yun Xingze’s ability to control mental power is super strong, and he can simultaneously control the actions of the host armor and the mechanical beast.

Kaleb’s heart sank.

He did not underestimate the match, and was working hard to prepare before the game.

But Yun Xingze’s behavior completely exceeded his expectations!

A protective covering is tightly attached to back of the comet mecha is to prevent further attacks. It fought with the two mechas for a while, like a hunter thinking about how to kill the prey in one shot.

The atmosphere became tense again.

“Yun Xingze can actually push Kaleb to this point…” Ke Lei looked at the arena in surprise. “He can not only modify the double star mecha, but also drives so well?”

Luo Wenchuan looked at the mechanical beast with thoughtful eyes.

That reconnaissance mech seems to have more than just a harassment function?

On the field, Kaleb had recovered his calmness. He sneered in his heart, that it was just a disabled cat without a tail. In the worst case, just dismantle the two mechas together.

Putting away the chain sword, he raised the long-range caliber cannon and fired a few shots at the “disabled cat” and Yun Xingze. Then out came a superstar particle light saw and a more flexible light whip. Maximizing the mecha’s horsepower, he towards his opponent.

The light whip and light saw turned into afterimages in the air, and the resulting blue tail was like a comet when it struck.

After the mechanical beast avoided the artillery fire, the comet mecha quickly approached it, and with a flick of the light whip, it passed over its head and almost hit it!

Yun Xingze quickly recalled the mechanical beast.

Kaleb saw the ugly cat rolling to the ground, rolling back to Yun Xingze like a ball, and evading the light whip.

He didn’t stop there, grabbing the gap when Yun Xingze recalled the mechanical beast, to attack Yun Xingze at an extremely fast speed.

He learned to be smart – this time it was an attack from the side.

The light whip is much longer than the chain sword. Just as Yun Xingze thought he could hide, his mecha’s left arm was entangled!

The audience exclaimed.

“Damn, grabbed on?!”

“Is Yun Xingze going to die?”

“He’s going to lose!”

Chi Yu stood up in shock with tightly clenched fists upon seeing the scene.

Su Zinan couldn’t help but licked the corners of her lips, and whispered: “Kaleb can’t do it this time, it took so long to find a chance…”

When Yun Xingze’s mechanical left arm was caught, he immediately tried to get out, but he was stuck. Kaleb’s light whip was wrapped very tightly.

The destructive power of the light whip is not as terrible as the chain sword, but it is also enough to bind his mecha.

Afterwards, Kaleb raised the extremely lethal particle light saw, preparing to dismantle Yun Xingze’s mecha arm.

Yun Xingze lifted his lightsaber and slashed directly at the mecha arm holding the light saw!

The latter responded quickly, immediately putting away the light saw, and replacing it with a chain sword to entangle Yun Xingze’s mecha other arm.

The comet mecha firmly wrapped the arms of the host armor, and firmly grasped the ground with both feet, trying to pull both arms directly using brute force.

Really a lunatic…

Yun Xingze sweated a little. Frowning, he sent a new command to the reconnaissance mecha.

The next second, the mechanical beast jumped up and appeared in the middle of the two tall mechas.

Small weapons came out to attack the comet mecha, but obviously, the effect was very small.

Kaleb continued gripping on the whip and chain without flinching; the ugly cat seemed to be tickling him.

The audience began to worry about Yun Xingze.

“If this goes on, that ugly mecha will definitely lose. A B-level and an A+ level grade… If they compete with brute force, the latter will definitely win.”

“If Yun Xingze has his arms removed, there will soon be nothing left but the cockpit.”

“Why doesn’t he surrender? If he’s beaten like this, even if he loses, his performance score will not be low…”

“I guess he wants to struggle. First-year students don’t know the horror of Kaleb. There’ll be time to beg for mercy later.”

Ke Lei couldn’t help standing up, and said to Luo Wenchuan with some worry: “I think Yun Xingze will not last a minute.”

“Indeed.” Luo Wenchuan said lightly. “But, he shouldn’t be that stupid.”

Seeing that the ugly cat was still standing in front of him, Kaleb sneered and said to himself: “I will clean up Yun Xingze in a while and then clean up this stupid cat…”

Before he finished speaking, the ugly cat suddenly turned and rushed towards onto the chest area of Yun Xingze’s host armor.

Kaleb froze for a moment. What is it doing?

Afterwards, the mechanical beast lifted its tail and even twisted it twice, looking for a suitable angle.

It’s like a cat sticking up it’s butt, but because it doesn’t have a tail, the picture looks a little funny.

Oriel said in shock: “What is Yun Xingze doing? Making the cat act meng3?”

“Did he put a music box on the tail, the kind that can pop up a white flag?” Lu Ranxu also asked in surprise.

Just when everyone was confused about this, the mechanical beast suddenly froze.

“Boom—”

The huge sound frightened everyone. After calming down, they realized that the tail of the mechanical beast launched a small smoke bomb toward the head of Kaleb’s mecha!

Like a cat farting loudly at a human, it was even colored.

Kaleb’s mind suddenly remembered what Yun Xingze said before the game

[If it does something bad to you, don’t be angry.]

At this moment, he finally knew what “bad” he meant, and finally understood why this ugly cat has no tail.
