ARIPOEC Chapter 22

Chapter 22

The thief ship has already been boarded, there’s no going back, one can only comfort oneself like this.

Lin Jun thought about it again and again, but still felt aggrieved. He cracked his knuckles, feeling itchy: “I really want to fight right now.”

If he doesn’t beat Ye Mingyuan up, the fire in his heart won’t go down.

Ye Mingyuan glanced at his lower abdomen.

“…” Lin Jun took a deep breath, even angrier.

Fortunately, Ye Mingyuan didn’t continue to provoke him. He took out two Personal Terminals from somewhere: “Want to fight in the game?”

Lin Jun raised an eyebrow: “《Mech Academy》?”

Ye Mingyuan nodded.

“Okay!” Lin Jun snatched a Personal Terminal and put it on his head, quickly closing his eyes.

Who cares if it’s a game, as long as he can fight!

As soon as Lin Jun closed his eyes, his consciousness entered the holographic network platform.

“Log in to 《Mech Academy》.”

As soon as Lin Jun spoke, the scenery in front of him changed rapidly.

He was standing in a huge European-style square. Besides him, there were many figures standing in the square. Some people were hiding their figures, their whole bodies shrouded in a layer of black mist.

As soon as Lin Jun logged in, a mechanical female voice sounded in the square: “Challenge List number two: Mu Mu Jun is online.”

All eyes around him focused on him. Lin Jun looked down at himself, wearing a shiny blue knight’s costume with a small cannon attached to his cuffs.

This is too chuunibyou. Was this his taste when he was in school?

Lin Jun, with a dark face, called out the costume system and changed his gaudy clothes into the most ordinary black T-shirt, successfully blending into the crowd of ordinary players.

In just a moment, the world channel in the square had already started frantically popping up messages.

【Junzi Ruyu is here! Is yuan coming too then!】

【Is he going to challenge number one again?!】

【They haven’t been online for a long time, I thought they quit.】

Lin Jun looked up at the messages flashing by rapidly, feeling a bit emotional.

Without him noticing, someone was already standing beside him.

Lin Jun turned his head and found that the person’s image was still a cloud of black mist, with his familiar ID on top: yuan.

“Want to fight?” The black mist spoke, the voice hoarse, obviously using a voice changer.

“…” Lin Jun was in a daze for a moment, and even tentatively opened his mouth: “Ye Mingyuan?”

Black mist: “…”

After a moment, the cloud of black mist gradually dissipated, revealing an extremely familiar face.

Ye Mingyuan also learned from Lin Jun, setting all the appearance settings to the original state. In order not to attract attention, he also deliberately hid his ID.

A box popped up in front of Lin Jun, a battle invitation.

Lin Jun reached out and clicked on the button, and the scenery in front of him immediately changed. He and Ye Mingyuan were standing on opposite sides of a huge arena, with the mech selection interface floating in front of them.

This familiar scene made all the blood in Lin Jun’s body boil.

Because of the baby in his belly, he hadn’t used a mech for a long time, let alone fought against someone with a mech.

Lin Jun simply glanced at the mech selection interface and directly selected the mech model he used most often in his previous life.

On the other side, Ye Mingyuan had also chosen a mech.

The battle was about to break out.

+

The spectator room gradually filled with onlookers.

【Why is that person still hiding his ID? Who is Mu Mu Jun fighting against?】

【Is there even a question? It must be yuan.】

【Damn, that back jump is outrageous, is that an operation a human can do?】

【Newbie, right? You’ll get used to it after seeing them more often. These two are gods. You can’t imagine the operations they can do.】

【So strong…】

The battle situation in the arena changed rapidly. Both mechs began to emit black smoke, which also represented the degree of damage to the mech.

When the mech is scrapped, the battle will be decided.

Seeing that the crucial moment was coming, no one in the viewing room spoke, and everyone held their breath and watched attentively.

A few minutes later, the mech of ID Mu Mu Jun was hit by the laser cannon of the other mech and completely scrapped.

In the virtual battlefield, the scrapped mech exploded like fireworks, and Lin Jun’s virtual figure reappeared on the preparation platform.

“Again!” This hearty battle completely aroused the bloodiness of Lin Jun. He waved his hand and instantly selected a mech.

Ye Mingyuan looked at the excitement and fighting spirit burning in his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: “Come on!”

The scene in the room kept changing. The two fought from dawn to dusk, from the jungle map to the desert map, and from the desert map to the universe map.

The people in the viewing room changed wave after wave, but these two didn’t show any signs of fatigue.

A mech on the stage exploded like fireworks, and the two returned to the preparation platform once again.

“This time I won!” Lin Jun raised his head slightly, his eyes full of unrestrained smiles.

“Yeah.” Ye Mingyuan nodded: “Again?”

“Fight!” Lin Jun nodded straightforwardly.

It had been a long time since he had fought so heartily with an evenly matched opponent.

If at the beginning of the game, he was a little worried that Ye Mingyuan would deliberately let him win, but now he had completely dispelled this doubt.

Ye Mingyuan knew his preferences too well. Instead of deliberately showing weakness to let Lin Jun win, it was better to do his best to let Lin Jun lose.

Lin Jun would not be sad or frustrated, he would only become more and more courageous.

But obviously, the game system didn’t want to give him this opportunity to become more and more courageous.

As soon as Lin Jun’s finger touched the [Start Battle] button, a system notification popped up in front of him.

【After testing, your online battle time has reached six hours, please log off to rest and resupply before coming again~】

Lin Jun: “…”

He was just getting into it, too disappointing.

Ye Mingyuan also saw this system prompt in front of him.

Ye Mingyuan pursed his lips and also reached out and clicked the start battle button, but was also stopped by the cold system prompt.

It has to be said that the anti-addiction systems of these games are really well done.

Lin Jun sighed, suddenly a little nostalgic for the simulation training grounds dedicated to the academy and the army.

There, he could practice for as long as he wanted without worrying about being kicked out.

“Forget it.” Lin Jun raised his hand and closed the system prompt.

Although he didn’t enjoy himself fully this time, he had already fought very happily.

The anger that had been pent up in his chest was almost gone, and Lin Jun only felt refreshed in body and mind.

“Log off?” Lin Jun turned to look at Ye Mingyuan.

Since they couldn’t continue fighting, he didn’t want to stay here and be watched by others. It would be better to simply log off.

“Wait a moment.” Ye Mingyuan shook his head.

Ye Mingyuan’s virtual character froze for a few seconds.

“?” Lin Jun slowly typed out a question mark.

Not long after, an invitation popped up in front of him again.

Lin Jun glanced over and raised his hand to agree.

The scene in front of him changed again, and the virtual crowd of spectators disappeared.

Ye Mingyuan pulled him into a private battle space.

In the blink of an eye, the scene in front of him changed again and again.

The bare ground was covered with green grass, and a clear stream passed by his side, with red carp jumping in the stream.

A small bird flew down from the branch and landed on Lin Jun’s fingertip. Its two pointed little claws bounced and turned its head and flew away.

“…This is?” Lin Jun retracted his surprised gaze and turned to look at Ye Mingyuan.

How did he not know that 《Mech Academy》 had this function before?

Ye Mingyuan raised his foot and walked to Lin Jun’s side. He gently brushed a clump of flowers by the roadside, picked one and sent it to Lin Jun’s hand.

The texture of the flower was exactly the same as in the real world, and even the fresh floral fragrance was completely simulated.

“This is a small bug that Li Li discovered. He hacked into the underlying system of the game and left me a key.”

Lin Jun was refreshed again.

Part of the system of this game is the same source as the training simulation training system of the Imperial Army. He can actually hack into this?!

What kind of people did Ye Mingyuan recruit?

“It’s not as exaggerated as you think.” Ye Mingyuan looked at Lin Jun’s surprised expression and laughed: “There is a battlefield simulation system in the game, Li Li just changed this random system to be able to set it himself, and it can only be realized in this room.”

As Ye Mingyuan said, he waved his hand lightly again, and the green grass under his feet gradually faded away, replaced by a large sea of flowers.

Flower petals fluttered in the sky, and the eyes were full of colorful colors.

Lin Jun looked at the scenery in front of him and turned his head: “Tell the truth.”

Ye Mingyuan smiled and looked expectant: “Yeah?”

Lin Jun said expressionlessly: “Can’t you let Li Li use this bug to remove the anti-addiction system? What are you doing with these useless things?”

Ye Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face gradually stiffened.

Looking at the scene he carefully designed, he suddenly felt like he was winking at a blind man.

A certain unromantic “straight man” was still relentlessly asking next to him: “Why can’t you remove the anti-addiction? If it is removed, we can continue…”

Before Lin Jun could finish speaking, his wrist was grabbed.

Ye Mingyuan twitched the corners of his mouth and drew a fake smile: “Let’s go, let’s log off.”

The two figures in the virtual space flickered and quickly disappeared.

A gust of wind blew, and the flowers in the sea of flowers bent over in layers, and countless petals were blown into the air by the wind, spinning and floating far away before swaying and falling down.
