Chapter 345: Chapter 216: The Actions of Three People (Part 1)_1

Hearing Monkey’s instructions, Teddy Bear felt certain that it was doomed.

By its own calculation, it had been born merely a day ago. It was still a baby and shouldn’t be participating in such dangerous activities.

Who’s that over there? A mecha used for the mass selection of instructors? It was surely going to get thrashed to death.

But as it nervously re-entered the training mode and began to spar again, it discovered that the task was not as difficult as it had imagined.

Although it was initially overwhelmed by the instructor mecha, after getting used to it, Teddy Bear found that the opponent’s actions weren’t as fast as it had thought.

The movements of these mechas were mostly pre-programmed, and this was a common method of mecha control.

After all, many mecha movements require rapid response, and the reaction speed of ordinary biological creatures simply can’t keep up, so the pilot needs to store some standard preparatory movements.

Because they were stored movements, experienced pilots could quickly guess their opponent’s next move by seeing the initial stance. This also led to deceptive maneuvers and other tricks that made the combat more interesting.

Since it was difficult to stop once they started, this made their response to some moves slightly delayed, so experts would mix in some freeform actions, but freeform actions could lead to slower reactions.

Each of these control methods had its advantages and disadvantages, and mastering both was a necessary journey on the path to becoming a master.

But as an Artifact Spirit, Teddy Bear was different.

It had the computational speed of a computer, so it could perform freeform actions in an extremely short timeframe, perfectly combining the advantages of both control methods while eliminating the disadvantages.

Beyond its extraordinary computational abilities, it also had another feature: its incredibly fast learning speed.

After a few rounds of practice, it rapidly mastered the instructor mecha’s movements and used more sophisticated maneuvers to turn the tables and defeat the opponent.

Within just half an hour, the top-ranked instructor mecha was no match for it.

It could even yawn while counterattacking the imposing mecha, which could no longer withstand a single punch from it and would collapse in the blink of an eye.

When Teddy Bear managed to defeat the highest-level instructor mecha without a scratch, looking up at the victory prompt on the screen, it couldn’t help but say, “Could it be that I’m a genius?”

“Not bad,” Monkey replied.

“Monkey, you can keep praising me. I feel really amazing.”

“That’s why I said you’re not bad.”

“Hm… Can I move on to the next stage now? Can we go and compete in real matches?”

“Not yet.”

“Why not?”

“If you go to compete now, although you could easily pass the mass selection, it would also lead to some events happening ahead of time. Your appearance has introduced a lot of variables, so I think it’s better if we continue training for a bit longer.”

Teddy Bear pointed at the screen’s level, asking helplessly, “Then how should I train now? I’ve already challenged the highest-level instructor mecha, and there are no higher-level mechas to challenge.”

“Increase the number of instructor mechas. How about one against three from now on?”

“You’re not joking with me, are you?”

“Actually, it’s quite simple. You’ll get the hang of it after a while.”

Despite feeling incredulous about this arrangement, Teddy Bear entered the game following Monkey’s instructions.

Afterward, it found that things were just as Monkey had said, seemingly a little easier.

At first, it still got whipped for a bit, but as it grew stronger, even three mechas were no match for it.

When it could take on five at once and win, Teddy Bear left the simulation environment, then looking at its hand, murmured, “I… I am really too powerful.”

“Not bad.”

“Monkey, you really can praise me a bit! I am truly incredible! You have no idea, when the five of them came at me, their movements felt as slow as slow motion. I just haphazardly slaughtered them, cackling while I reaped them down.”

“That’s why I say you’re not bad.”

“So can we go for the mass selection now?”

“Not yet.”

“Why not! I can 1V5 already! I am unmatched in power. I feel invincible!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You haven’t fought with me yet.”

Under his confused gaze, Monkey climbed into the adjacent simulator pod and entered the simulation environment.

Inside the simulation, Monkey said to the entering Teddy Bear, “Now you’re almost ready to battle me. You choose the difficulty.”

“There’s a difficulty for simulated battles?”

“Yeah, my difficulty.”

With skepticism, Teddy Bear selected a basic difficulty level, and then all the confidence it had built up vanished in an instant.

Lying on the ground in ruins, Teddy Bear couldn’t understand how it had lost.

What just happened?

I can 1V5, so why did I go from standing to lying down in just ten seconds?

Monkey, did you cheat?

But upon reviewing the footage, Teddy Bear realized that Monkey hadn’t cheated at all; it was simply too unskilled.

Mecha combat isn’t as simple as it seems.

Its entry into the field had been swift, but to truly improve, it needed to further develop its combat awareness.

A few hours later, Monkey’s simple mode was no longer challenging enough for Teddy Bear.

It moved from simple mode level one to level two. Teddy Bear, which had just managed an advantage, was trounced once again, embarking on yet another grueling journey.
