Chapter 935 Looking for Trouble!
Wang Qi saw the name of The Bravest’, instantly said enthusiastically, “That’s Elder Brother Min. Elder Brother Min will definitely defeat Dark Destroyer.” After saying that, he placed a bet on The Bravest.
Although Ling Lan knew that Wang Qi’s bet was going to be a bust, she didn’t say anything to stop him. Wang Qi wasn’t only just gambling, the more important part was that he was supporting his friend.
“Little Four, speed up the process of hacking into the Dark Destroyer’s optical supercomputer.” Ling Lan was also worried that Wang Qi’s Elder Brother Min would die under the Dark Destroyer’s sword.
“Don’t worry. If it is the optical supercomputer of an ace mecha, then it will perhaps be somewhat troublesome. However, this type of advanced mecha is not difficult at all for someone like me,” Little Four said proudly. ‘How could a literal god of the virtual world like me not be able to get past such a low level optical supercomputer?’
Although Little Four was arrogant, he still did his work diligently. Soon, he told Ling Lan that he had hacked into the mecha. If he was to discover that the Dark Destroyer was to try to go for the kill, he would interfere with his mecha and save Wang Qi’s Elder Brother Min.
The Dark Destroyer was surprisingly somewhat sportsman-like. He wasn’t like the previous rounds where he went for the kill only after a few hits (even though he had the capability to do so). After going at each other for hundreds of hits, Elder Brother Min, who felt they were on the same level, suddenly showed a small flaw. Normal advanced mecha operators wouldn’t be able to discover the flaw, but in the eyes of an ace operator, it was as clear as day.
The Dark Destroyer took the chance and ruthless attacked with his large sword. Seeing this, Elder Brother Min panicked knowing that his opponent actually saw through his weak point. He immediately used his large sword to block. However, that was the actual mistake. Dark Destroyer suddenly switched up his attack and ruthlessly sliced towards the cockpit. Elder Brother Min’s action to block had left his cockpit wide open and gave his opponent a great opportunity.
“Not good!” Elder Brother Min knew that he had no time to change his move, and even if he did, he didn’t have the capability to do so. The finger speed required to block the incoming attack was only achievable by ace operators. He could only throttle his engine and quickly back up to try to evade the fatal attack.
However, even though Dark Destroyer’s speed seemed to be slow, he was still faster than Elder Brother Min’s dodging speed. Right as the large sword was about hit the cockpit, his Dark Destroyer’s large sword suddenly stopped. Then, it slightly changed its direction and skimmed past the cockpit.
Elder Brother Min who just seen his life flashed before his eyes, had cold sweats from the terror of the attack. He immediately moved his mecha back a few meters and left the attack range of Dark Destroyer.
“Sh*t, what just happened?” Dark Destroyer found it weird that his sure-kill attack actually didn’t work. He instantly began to swear and cuss in his cockpit. Angered, he began to attack Elder Brother Min crazily. Elder Brother Min was like a boat stuck in a storm which seemed like it was going to flip over at any second. However, during every dangerous moment, Dark Destroyer’s attack would miraculously always go past him. This allowed Elder Brother Min to constant be able to get away from death.
This situation made the bettors rowdy. They all believed the match was rigged to not let Dark Destroyer win. However, in reality, the management of the casino was also confused. In reality, they would earn money no matter who won. The amount of money they would receive from sending a mecha operator, who won one hundred matches to Mai’er Fa would make the money they lost in the casino seemed like chump change. So, they weren’t interested in meddling with something like this.
Elder Brother Min wasn’t an impulsive person. Multiple crises reminded him that his opponent was definitely not someone he could defeat. After evading a fatal attack, he decisively put up his mecha’s hand to show that he was surrendering.
Although his winning streak wasn’t stopped, he was still crazy depressed even after seeing his opponent give up. To Dark Destroyer, not being able to kill his opponent, made him feel like he had lost.
In reality, Dark Destroyer’s advancement to his current position was acquired by stepping on countless bodies. This was why Elder Brother Min and others hate Dark Destroyer very much. Not only because he was an outsider, at the same time, he was also ruthless and killed many native mecha operators. Other than the few who luckily got away with their lives, the others all died in the arena.
“Wow, Dark Destroyer is amazing!” Wang Qi’s eyes glimmered and his face full of admiration. Dreaming about becoming a mecha operator everyday, Wang Qi greatly admired those strong and capable mecha operators.
“Yeah, he’s amazing!” Little Aihua also had a face full of admiration and was convinced by Dark Destroyer’s impressive operating abilities.
“Bam! Bam!”
“Ouch.” “Ouch.”
Wang Qi and Little Aihua held their forehead as they raised their heads pitifully. They had tears in their eyes as they asked, “Elder Brother Hui (Elder Brother Jiang Hui) why did you hit us?”
“Stop admiring him. Dark Destroyer isn’t suitable for you to admire.” Ling Lan didn’t want the two of them to become ruthless and heartless executioners like Dark Destroyer.
“Why?” Wang Qi asked in disagreement.
“His methods of operating are considered to be barbaric. Learning it would be useless with your body shapes and you would fall to the floor after a few hits.” Although Ling Lan’s words were rough to the ears, it was still true. Wang Qi and Liu Aihua weren’t complete newbies who didn’t know anything. After hearing the explanation, they instantly became deflated and slumped into their seats without any desire to speak.
It turns out, one of the reasons Wang Qi wanted to watch an underground arena match was to find a mecha operator instructor who could give him some pointers. Although Elder Brother Min had a good relationship with him, Elder Brother Min was still trying to make a living and didn’t have time to teach him. This made him have no choice but to put his hope onto someone else.
As for Little Aihua, she was probably thinking of finding a strong master for her younger brother.
Afterwards, the three of them watched a few more mecha matches. When she saw Little Aihua beginning to yawn, Ling Lan led Wang Qi, who still wanted to watch, and Little Aihua, who was still trying her best to keep her eyes open, away from the arena.
The place they left from wasn’t far from the place they entered from. Wang Qi led them to the lift. When they went up the lift, they saw a closed off parking lot. The hover bus of the casino was there waiting to leave after the seats were filled.
When Ling Lan and others hopped on the bus, they saw a familiar face.
“Oh, Elder Brother Min, you’re taking the bus back?” Wang Qi saw Elder Brother Min and immediately shouted out in excitement. Back then, Elder Brother Min always went back using his mecha.
“Yeah, I’m too tired today.” Elder Brother Min’s complexion wasn’t great and was even somewhat pale. The battle with Dark Destroyer’s mecha almost depleted all of his mental and physical energy. There was even a slight hint of terror in his face when he thought of his recent dance with death.
Wang Qi wanted to ask a few more questions, but Ling Lan pulled on his sleeve slightly, gesturing him to find a spot to sit first.
‘This dull child, did not even see that his Elder Brother Min didn’t have any desire to speak to him.’
When Wang Qi saw Little Aihua yawning continuously, he quickly helped Little Aihua to find a seat, and quickly forgot to continue his conversation with Elder Brother Min.
Ling Lan’s group of three found their seats and sat down. There were many people that came out of the casino at the same time. Soon, the bus was filled with people and drove out of the parking lot.
It was probably because they were all too excited and felt sleepy. Most of the people on the bus all closed their eyes and went to sleep, including Little Aihua.
Ling Lan, who also closed her eyes to rest, suddenly opened them. Just a moment ago, Little Four told him that Dark Destroyer had caught up to them and was intending to kill Elder Brother Min.
Not being able to take out his opponent made Dark Destroyer feel uncomfortable. Thus, he just wanted to kill this opponent that had escaped from his clutches with his own hands.
Ling Lan helplessly frowned and muttered under her breath, “So troublesome! Does this count as looking for trouble?”
