Chapter 884: Gigantic Diamond Mountain

The real world, inside the exclusive club where Malone was.
Li Tianxing’s father, Li Hanhong summoned a bodyguard and asked, “How’s the competition going for Tianxing’s side?”
The bodyguard smiled and excitedly said, “Young Master Tianxing is currently in the top spot amongst the 10,000 contestants. Of all 2,000 teams that make up the 10,000 contestants, Young Master Tianxing’s total team mecha kills almost equate to the sum of the total kills from the second to the fifth places. Only Young Master Wuhen’s team appears decent. The difference between the other teams is huge.”
“Oh?” Upon hearing that his son was in first, Li Hanhong hurriedly asked, “Hurry, give me their kill data. Explain to me about the other teams as well.”
“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard politely said, “Currently, Team Annihilation led by Young Master Tianxing has 16,506 total team mecha kills. In second place is Team Magic Armor Godly Mechas led by Young Master Wuhen. They have 7,039 total team mecha kills. In third place is Team Salf Alliance led by Young Master Moncasio. They have 4,197 total team mecha kills. The fourth place has 2,346 total team mecha kills. The fifth place has 1,265 total team mecha kills…”
Instantly, the bodyguard reported the total team mecha kills for the top ten teams. Li Hanhong was filled with joy and hurriedly rushed into Sir Malone’s room. As soon as he entered the room, he exclaimed, “Sir Malone, my son Tianxing has emerged as first place amongst the 10,000 contestants and 2,000 teams! Furthermore, his team’s total mecha kills equates to the sum of the total kills from second to fifth place combined!”
This result was enough to make Li Hanhong proud.
A record-high number of 16,506 total team mecha kills was much higher than all previous records set by past Galaxy Super Mecha Wars contestants.
“Oh? That score’s decent.” Malone smiled and said, “Looks like your son is pretty strong indeed. Hm, I’ll note it down and watch him. If he’s still in first with a big lead on total kills by the last 100 contestants, I’ll personally visit his team.”
“Alright!” Li Hanhong was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly left.
Sir Malone touched his chin and nodded. “Looks like this Li Tianxing is pretty decent. Hm, now it makes sense to bring him back to HQ. After all, I already took his money. Hehe, one billion dollars, that’s not a small sum. Hahahaha!”
…
In the virtual world, on the huge planet where the Super Mecha Wars was held.
This was the battlefield for the top 10,000 contestants. The landscape was rather complex on the giant planet. The most crucial thing was that no flight was allowed for any mechas!
After all, if mechas were allowed to fly freely, it would be difficult for both aiming and hiding.
Hence, this was the time to test out true tactical reactions and reflexes!
After all, the objects here were sturdy enough and the landscape was complex. Countless tactics could be utilized. At this time, the surviving mechas that were suited for close combat benefited. Once they could close the distance, the close combat weapons’ strengths could be fully demonstrated.
This was one of the reasons why Li Tianxing dared not be too arrogant. It would be dangerous if he was really surrounded by a few combat mechas, due to the flight ban rules here.
“Everyone, prepare yourselves.” Once the other four members of his team were gathered together, Li Tianxing ordered. “Be careful, everyone. We can’t afford to be careless at this stage of the competition. Once two mechas are destroyed, we will have lost.”
The later the competition, the more careful they must be. Hence, Li Tianxing had to remind them. If anything really went wrong, the money spent would all be wasted. If he did not win the competition, could he still ask for the one billion Galaxy Dollars back?
…
On the other side, under the sea.
Hong Dali and the rest casually continued their underwater adventures.
Nobody knew what the planet was made of. At the bottom of the ocean, giant gem mountains were everywhere. The gems looked like garbage in Hong Dali’s eyes. They were mostly useless items with one or two attribute point boosts. However, there was such a huge quantity. The most crucial thing was that the mountains of gems were beautiful. They were colorful and glowed faintly.
“It’s so pretty.” Tang Muxin looked at the sea of gems around and exclaimed, “This place is so pretty. I don’t want to leave. Dali, can we play here for a little more?”
Everyone agreed with her suggestion. Since this place was so beautiful, they wanted to enjoy themselves there. As for battles… what’s that? Could they eat it?
“Sure, hehe.” Hong Dali nodded. He waves his hands lightly and the surrounding waters flowed. The currents carried their five mechas around underwater.
This could be considered “going with the flow”…
“Dali, look, that gem mountain is purple in color.” Tang Muxin exclaimed. She pointed at a glowing, purple gem mountain and said loudly, “Shall we go there and take a look?”
“Yep, sure. No problem.” Hong Dali controlled the currents and brought everyone towards that gem mountain.
Soon, they reached the gem mountain. Everyone was stunned!
It was a giant gem mountain over 3,000 meters tall. The entire mountain glowed a faint purple light. The gems on the mountain also carried attribute points—Strength +6.
They were decent attribute stones. The crucial thing was the size. If they could bring out the whole mountain, they could easily sell it for a few hundred million, right?
“Wow, what a huge gem mountain!” Little Mo Mo carefully moved over as he piloted The Dark Angel Astana Steel. He lightly retrieved a small piece of gem from the mountain. He smiled and said, “Big Bro Dali, this gem can be taken off. I wonder if we can bring it with us.”
If they could really bring the entire gem mountain, they would make a huge amount of money. Hahaha!
“Bring it. Of course we should bring it!” Hong Dali laughed. “It’ll just go to waste if left here…”
Before he could finish, everyone turned to stare at the gem mountain. What happened next shocked them all!
…
“Hehe, how are your preparations going?” Li Tianxing turned to look at the other four members. “If you’re ready, let us begin. Hahaha.”
“Yes, we will abide by the Young Master’s instructions!” The four of them nodded together.
“Alright, go. Find our enemies.” The five of them left. They came out of the corner they were hiding in and soon dispersed and kept a distance of 5,000 kilometers between one another. This ensured that they could come to one another’s aid if necessary. Then, they began their hunt.
Along the way, Li Tianxing saw many remains of mechas.
Although contestants were ousted from the competition after battles in the virtual world, their mechas’ remains would be left behind. This ensured the realness of the competition. The bloody scenes were more exciting to watch too.
Li Tianxing piloted the Spirit Emperor. As he walked on the surface of the planet, he activated the radar system.
This was a mecha war, after all. Every mecha was equipped with its own radar. The detection radius was usually within 100 kilometers. It would be near impossible to look for others in such a complex environment without radars or detection devices.
Soon, a few dozen little red dots appeared on the screen of Li Tianxing’s Spirit Emperor. The red dots represented enemies from other teams.
“There are quite a number of people here.” Li Tianxing smiled and said, “Come out, losers. It’ll be a waste of my time to fight you all one at a time. How about I settle this in one go?”
Once they heard Li Tianxing’s voice, the few mechas suddenly stopped moving, before quickly rushing over to surround Li Tianxing.
“It’s you!” All of them were stunned when they saw Li Tianxing’s pitch black Spirit Emperor. Originally, they were going to fight one another in their own teams. However, they must join forces now that they were facing the Spirit Emperor. Even if they were from different teams, they must form an alliance now. Otherwise, they would all be annihilated!
“Li Tianxing, I admit your mecha is strong.” Amongst the group, three of them were young Galaxy Aristocrats. They certainly knew of Li Tianxing’s reputation. “However, this is a competition. You must understand what everyone’s goal is to participate in this competition. Let’s cut the bullshit. Don’t blame us for ganging up on you.”
“Yep, it makes perfect sense. I understand.” Li Tianxing nodded. He smiled and said, “Looks like you have formed some sort of agreement. I’ll cut the crap, then. Anyone else wishes to join? If not, I’ll begin.”
As they could survive until now, nobody here was ordinary. They already knew how powerful Li Tianxing’s mecha was. This was no time for hesitation.
“Let’s go!” One of the black mechas wielded a huge battle-ax and charged first towards Li Tianxing! Behind him, three other close combat type mechas followed. They were in a very advantageous position as this was a close-quarter battle!
As long as the four of them could trap Li Tianxing, the other mechas could fire freely from a distance. It was highly likely for them to end their biggest threat right here!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The four close-quarter battle mechas first collided with Li Tianxing’s Spirit Emperor.
“Hahaha, not bad.” Li Tianxing laughed arrogantly. “That’s more like it.”
Their combined attacks were already extremely powerful. However, it could only penetrate a small part of the Spirit Emperor’s armor! As a whole, it did not present a single threat to the Spirit Emperor!
Even a move like that could not heavily injure Li Tianxing’s mecha. The color was drained from their faces as they saw that.
“Such a strong defense!”
They were shocked beyond belief. Just then, Li Tianxing moved!
