[1] Genius Mechanic

Chapter 42

Rhythm

Hu Luobu's sudden elimination caught everyone off guard, including Hu Luobu himself. Before being eliminated, he had already noticed the position of another mecha, but he never expected another silent mecha to be lurking in the shadows. It took him out with a silent shot while he was aiming at someone else.

And it was done with a 60% sniper cannon.

In the arena, the more energy a sniper cannon used by a artillery mecha, the more energy it consumed. Especially in the later stages, where frequent support for teammates was required, every artillery mecha pilot needed to control the energy of each shot. A 60% energy sniper shot from the opponent, if it didn't hit, would waste the energy of two shots, something a normal artillery mecha pilot wouldn't do.

But this person not only did it but also successfully eliminated him, as if calculating that this shot would surely hit.

Many people were watching Chi Lizi's live broadcast, including some from the mecha base collecting information. Seeing this information, they relayed the news back to their base, attracting many professional mecha pilots to the live broadcast room.

At the YDS base, Ke Lin saw the situation and immediately went to the training room, having someone access Hu Luobu's perspective.

Hu Luobu had already been eliminated, and he could only watch the battle through his teammate Chi Lizi's perspective. "This artillery is a bit scary. I didn't notice his position at all."

This wasn't a stealth mecha, and artillery mecha would leave thruster traces no matter how they moved. Either they were exposed on the radar, or their sound was detected. However, this artillery mecha had not appeared at all in this chaotic battle, as if every move was perfectly calculated.

After understanding the situation, Ke Lin frowned and said, "You fell into a trap. When you entered the melee, you had already entered their rhythm. Chi Lizi's initial guess was correct, this person is indeed from the five-person team. He can move so smoothly under your noses, I'm afraid all his teammates are his eyes."

The team battle league was about to begin, and now all mecha pilots were on the research lists of major mecha bases. Outstanding artillery mecha pilots would not be overlooked. The YDS base had recently held a meeting to study the outstanding artillery mecha pilots in the Dawn Star System, but they had never seen this type of artillery mecha and such team coordination.

Using the entire team as the eyes of a artillery mecha was a combat style centered around artillerys. However, this team was strange, they did not protect the core mech as they should. All their actions carried a strange lack of coordination.

"Is Chi Lizi live streaming?" Ke Lin asked.

Hu Luobu said, "Yes, I encountered him in solo mode. It happened to be a full squad."

Ke Lin, "Not only did I notice, but others did too. This artillery has strong individual abilities, not inferior to Ace."

Star Network, everyone was focusing on Chi Lizi's perspective. A regular virtual battlefield match suddenly became the center of attention for everyone.

Hu Luobu couldn't speak after dying, and he couldn't chat through the IP backstage like his teammates. He immediately went to Chi Lizi's live stream.

Chi Lizi's pressure soared after Hu Luobu's death. The strength needed to eliminate Hu Luobu indicated that the opponent was at least above Hu Luobu's level. Moreover, the opponent might be a team from another star system. "I'm sure he had no team at the beginning. There was absolutely no one around him to support. This team had no coordination, they were just fooling around—"
