Chapter 516 - - 465 Romantic and Questioning_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“With your high level of skill, why don’t you go to the front lines to fight against the Hil civilization?”

“As a pilot, why do you come to the Mecha design module…”

…

Looking at the assessment hall, bustling like a vegetable market, Old Ghost frowned tightly, “Nonsense, what do these guys think the Mecha design module is for?”

Duge pressed down with his hand and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a word, please?”

The disturbance continued, and although Xu Wan and others helped Duge share the limelight, Duge was still the originator who had challenged advanced Mechas with an entry-level unit and was suspected to be the founder of the Shock Genre. Until the heat died down, he naturally attracted a huge amount of attention.

Moreover, aside from Xu Wan, many Alien Warriors, although they had gained fame on the War Network, had mostly not made direct contact with military personnel.

The War Network didn’t allow for the search of real addresses; it was safe and covert to show off strength there, so why stick their heads out in reality and become a target for everyone?

At least until the top ten rankings were revealed, many Alien Warriors didn’t plan to reveal themselves in reality. A month was more than enough for them to level up their skills and gain the power to protect themselves.

Duge no longer paid attention to those causing the commotion and said to himself, “Since I was ten years old, my dream has been to become an ace pilot, to make a name for myself on the battlefield, and to take the head of the enemy general from amidst the armies.”

While others my age started courting beautiful girls under the moonlight, pursuing romantic love, I was already tirelessly honing my spiritual power and practicing my Mecha skills night and day.

Thus, the girls who admired me called me a blockhead, said I didn’t understand romance, and was destined to be lonely for life.

But who among them really understood me?

In my heart, the romance of a man should be that of the stars and the sea, the power to rule the world when awake, and the pleasure of resting on the knees of a beauty when drunk;

It should be a heroic death in battle, defending the country, leading thousands of troops, and the iron-blooded aura that hits you head-on;

It is the hormonal rush while driving a Mecha and killing the enemy on the battlefield, the ceaseless vigor of battle, the steel-like ambition…"

As Duge spoke, the room gradually quieted down.

Especially the pilots from the military groups, who began to breathe faster and looked at Duge with increasingly shining eyes. His words had struck a chord in their hearts, and they admired Kill One Every Ten Steps even more.

The expressions of the two design auditors from management also slowly relaxed.

But the female pilots in the crowd scoffed at his words.

Shen Yuning snorted, “If you have such a steel-like ambition, why bother with the pleasure of resting on the knees of a beauty? The romance of a man is just wanting it all!”

Gu Qingyan looked at Duge, her eyes sparkling, and muttered, “I actually think he’s quite to my taste, much more mature than those boys in school who haven’t even fully grown their hair.”

“Yan Zi, you couldn’t actually be falling for him, could you?” Shen Yuning widened her eyes, “Haven’t you figured it out yet? This guy clearly looks down on us women!”

“Does he?” Gu Qingyan said, “I think piloting a Mecha and fighting alongside him on the battlefield seems quite romantic.”

“Hopeless,” Shen Yuning choked and shook her head helplessly.

…

“I have always done just that,” Duge said with a smile, “and so I achieved the success of Sea Swallow’s cross-level challenge at the training field. I am not a genius, nor have I taken any gene-modifying drugs.

I have simply worked harder than others. You can do it too if you just wake up an hour earlier and sleep an hour later than everyone else. Keep pushing yourself a little bit more during training…”

“Since you long for the stars and the sea, why did you suddenly withdraw from the War Network? Why come to the Mecha design module? Why ignore the invitations from the military?” A challenging voice rose from the crowd.

Good provocation!

Duge glanced towards the source of the voice and said in earnest, “It’s precisely because of the few battles I fought that I noticed the flaws of the Mechas. That’s why I resolutely left the War Network and dedicated myself to studying Mechas for several days. The goal is to enhance the performance of Mechas, so that more men like me who are pursuing their dreams can survive on the battlefield.

How many enemies can one man kill? But if the Mecha performs better and is more user-friendly, then the pilots on the battlefield would have a better chance of survival against a formidable enemy. We would not have to resort to kamikaze attacks when facing the Hil civilization.

The pilot who indulges in the exhilaration of killing on the battlefield is romantic, as is the unsung hero who quietly improves Mechas in the rear. Can an ace pilot on the battlefield be a one-man army, a ten-man army, but an excellent Mecha designer can be an army of ten thousand…”

“What an army of ten thousand,” Old Ghost’s prejudice against Duge disappeared in an instant, looking at Ling Jiuxiao across from him, he said, “Old Ling, now looking at it, this guy isn’t that unpleasant. I plan to take him as a disciple later.”

“…” Ling Jiuxiao glanced at him, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“Don’t you find it contradictory? You say you wake up early and stay up late to become an ace pilot, but how can you practice driving a Mecha and also manage to improve the Mecha on your own?” the challenging voice rose again, “Kill One Every Ten Steps, you’re simply misleading others, or perhaps, you’re just a coward, using this as an excuse to avoid going into battle?”

With that statement.

The rhythm was immediately stirred up again.

The designers who had just been moved by Duge now looked at him with questioning eyes?
