Chapter 165: War

Heard a sound.

“Rifleman Cooper, let’s begin!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue opened their eyes and found themselves in an instrument similar to a hibernation pod. What they faced was a spacious cockpit corridor, wide enough for a truck to drive through, with many armed soldiers walking back and forth.

A white-haired veteran with a scar on his face sat on the railing and spoke to them.

Relevant memories emerged:

“I am now Jack Cooper, a rifleman of the Resistance 41st Rifle Battalion!”

“This is the James MacAllan spaceship. We are going to fight on Typhon, the IMC territory.”

“This is… the legendary Pilot Captain Lastimosa. He wants to train me to become a new Pilot!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue was already very familiar with the plot Secret Realm of deep Role-Playing, so they only spent a short two or three seconds to sort out various key fundamental information.

How interesting.

The art style of this world is unique!

The Star Sea Secret Realm is indeed very characteristic!

Although they couldn’t see what was going on outside, they could feel that they were in a giant spaceship in motion, and this ship was crossing the universe to the enemy’s territory.

It’s unbelievable!

Captain Lastimosa asked, “What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”

Mingyue Zhaoxue immediately got into character and said, “No, I’m ready and can start at any time!”

“Very good!”

A series of adjustments.

The simulation cabin started.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically.

Mingyue Zhaoxue descended out of thin air into a bright and open corridor.

Sunlight passed through the branches of the trees above, leaving mottled projections on the corridor walls. The fragrance of flowers and the breeze surrounded them, giving them a very comfortable feeling.

“So powerful!”

“Is this… an Illusion?”

“It seems to be different from general Illusion!”

They saw Captain Lastimosa sitting on a horizontal wooden beam, wearing a helmet.

“Eh, what a cool helmet, and it looks a bit familiar!”

“It’s the helmet worn by the Pilots in the cutscene, and the figures of the two are basically the same.”

“That super soldier king, who was flowing clouds and running water, invincible, and killed enemies like drinking water in the cutscene, is Captain Lastimosa?”

“Probably!”

“……”

When they heard everyone’s guesses.

Mingyue Zhaoxue felt it was normal.

According to Cooper’s memory, this person is not an ordinary person, but a legendary Pilot!

Lastimosa said, “I shouldn’t train you, but I think you have potential… Besides, we are at war, who cares about the hierarchy, right?”

After saying that.

He stood up.

“Alright, go through here, speed up your movements, and activate the jump kit for assistance.”

“Yes!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue immediately started to move and run. They were surprised to find that their running speed was far beyond ordinary people, and it was completely effortless.

The whole person seemed weightless.

This is because the power assist equipment on their body is working.

Every time they jumped, the jetpack would automatically boost, thereby generating the power to move forward quickly.

“Interesting!”

“The technology of this world has a similar origin with the Tidal Wave World, but it is obviously far more advanced than the Tidal Wave World!”

Although Mingyue Zhaoxue had run far away, the captain’s voice still echoed in their ears, and when they walked out of the corridor, the captain had already arrived at the end of the corridor in advance.

“So beautiful!”

Captain Lastimosa looked around at the scenery.

The scenery here consists of endless grasslands and stone heaps.

The next moment.

Lastimosa turned into a blue light and instantly flashed on the stone heaps dozens of meters away, then flashed on another stone heap. At the same time, his voice kept coming through the headset.

“This is based on our hometown, Harmony. We grew up here and fought for it.”

“For a world without metal and smoke, for our children to live in prosperity and peace…”

The captain kept flashing and using instantaneous movement, gradually moving away. This scene made the Adventurers look stunned. Although they knew this was a method similar to Illusion, it was too cool.

Ordinary Illusions can’t do this kind of thing, but in the Titan Chapter world, it can be easily done through technical means.

Mingyue Zhaoxue continued to move forward.

The captain’s voice kept echoing in their ears.

This process, which seemed to be chatting, was inadvertently introducing the worldview background, power structure, and situation clearly.

And at this time, like Mingyue Zhaoxue, the Adventurers who were training in the simulation space were at least three or five hundred, and the onlookers numbered in the thousands. Everyone was amazed by the worldview revealed by the Titan Chapter.

“It’s really unbelievable!”

Wind in Sleep said, “The IMC that the Resistance is fighting against is just a private resource extraction company!”

Black Stone Hammer King: “It’s really absurd that a private company can control multiple planets and has a powerful army and Titans!”

“Do you think a force that can control the entire galaxy will appear in the Star Sea World?”

“Impossible!”

“According to the information we have already grasped, the number of planets in most galaxies is in the billions!”

“Even if there is only one person on each planet on average, that’s a total of one hundred billion people… If there really is such a force, I can’t imagine how vast it is!”

“……”

Mingyue Zhaoxue came to a hall.

The captain snapped his fingers in the middle of the hall, and a dozen weapon racks appeared out of thin air.

Each weapon rack was hung with more than a dozen firearms, and each firearm was different, which was displayed in front of all the Adventurers.

“The battlefield situation changes rapidly, and you must be proficient in mastering every kind of weapon. These are the weapons I used on the battlefield. Pick up these weapons and shoot at the target.”

Various firearms were dazzling.

All the Adventurers couldn’t help but drool.

Although the weapons used by the border residents couldn’t be considered advanced in the Star Sea World, they were undoubtedly more technologically advanced than the Secret Realm Tidal Wave.

Mingyue Zhaoxue picked up a gun at random.

This gun looks similar in size to an M4A1, but it is equipped with 150 bullets.

It is not only equipped with an advanced and clear optical sight, but even has a built-in microcomputer that can adjust multiple shooting modes and display ammunition.

Ammunition and guns are supplied unlimitedly in the shooting range.

Adventurers can wantonly use various weapons to vent ammunition.

This process is also very satisfying. Some Adventurers played it and couldn’t stop. The sound of shooting, da da da, was in the Secret Realm Hall. Exclamations and sighs of the Adventurers were mixed in.

“Awesome!”

“So powerful!”

“It’s a paradise for gun enthusiasts!”

“I can play with guns here all day long without doing anything!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue only experienced it for a moment. Although the Titan Chapter’s guns were diverse and made people addicted to playing, they were more curious about the next plot, so they immediately entered the next link.

The next link of this training is a comprehensive trial.

Captain Lastimosa required the Adventurers to pass through a complex area within two minutes.

If the Adventurers want to pass this area, they need to skillfully use the jump kit to do Wall Running, and also need to quickly kill the simulated enemies created by the holographic projection with precise gun skill.

There are three chances.

The first two failures are not a problem.

If they fail three times in a row, they will be told that they do not have the qualifications of a Pilot.

In this way, the plot synchronization will be lost, which will lead to the failure of the challenge and having to start over.

“Trial begins!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue charged with all their strength, only feeling that the power assist device would automatically correct the actions, thereby continuously providing auxiliary kinetic energy. The jetpack will boost every time they jump, and the double jump in mid-air can cross more than ten meters of area at a time.

Da da da!

Da da da da!

During the process of Mingyue Zhaoxue passing through the trial area, enemies will appear behind various stone heaps and cover. They need to quickly shoot or use grenades to eliminate them. This process must be carried out while moving at high speed.

There is still some difficulty.

However, Cooper’s body is well-trained.

Mingyue Zhaoxue quickly passed the trial with muscle memory.

Look at the time.

It took 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

Captain Lastimosa evaluated: “Not bad, but it’s still a little bit away from becoming a Pilot. Remember to make full use of the terrain and let the power assist device become your instinct!”

“Yes!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue was full of confidence.

Without understanding the terrain situation.

The first time was only 10 seconds away.

This trial isn’t that difficult.

This time they can definitely pass!

This time they no longer charged head-on, but made use of the jetpack’s power assist to make the most of the terrain for three-dimensional maneuvering.

The Adventurers outside saw.

Every time Mingyue Zhaoxue jumped, they used power assistance, ran and advanced along the 90-degree wall. When entering a narrow corridor, they even jumped back and forth without touching the ground.

“Wow!”

“Sister Mingyue is so handsome!”

“Although it is the physique of an ordinary person of First Order, One-Star.”

“But using equipment can also do Wall Running like a high-performance character!”

“Interesting!”

“……”

Mingyue Zhaoxue advanced quickly and shot and killed one enemy after another, and finally completed the clearance with a score of 1 minute and 35 seconds.

“Very good, you really have talent. I can’t wait to tell Anderson that bastard!”

Captain Lastimosa seems to be particularly good at encouragement-style education, allowing the Adventurers to receive positive feedback continuously, not only boosting their confidence but also making them more friendly to this officer.

He continued, “You can continue to practice, and if you’re ready, we’ll move on to the next stage.”

Mingyue Zhaoxue discovered.

There were two huge screens in the hall.

“Look!”

“What is that!”

“It’s the ranking!”

“……”

One screen is the ranking of the formal Pilots. For example, Captain Lastimosa ranked third with 33.32 seconds, and the others were all characters in the Secret Realm.

The other screen is the ranking of the Adventurers.

First place, White Crane Hermit, 1 minute and 6 seconds!

Second place, San Zhu, 1 minute and 9 seconds!

……

Thirty-sixth place, Mingyue Zhaoxue, 1 minute and 35 seconds!

“What?”

“I’m only thirty-sixth?”

Mingyue Zhaoxue was naturally unconvinced. They immediately conducted two more rounds of challenges, increasing the speed to 1 minute and 15 seconds, and the ranking was pushed to about twentieth.

However.

They were improving.

Other Adventurers were also improving.

White Crane Hermit subsequently tried more than ten times in a row, and he forcibly pushed the speed to 0 minutes and 38 seconds. This has already entered the formal ranking and is ranked tenth, and he doesn’t seem to be satisfied.

“Interesting!”

“Can do parkour and play with guns!”

“I can play here for a whole day!”

“Hahaha, I’m in the top fifteen. Who dares to fight me!”

“Tch, what’s so arrogant. I’ve already realized the hand grenade propulsion method, let me see how I break the record this time!”

“……”

Qi Ji didn’t expect that just by randomly creating a ranking, the Adventurers’ records could be permanently preserved, so that the later Adventurers could see the ranking list.

Unexpectedly.

This fully stimulated the Adventurers’ competitive spirit.

At this moment, many Adventurers didn’t pass the next plot either.

They regarded the trial link as a racing game and played it with great fun, and they came up with all sorts of tricks.

Qi Ji immediately realized that many Adventurers liked speed and competition. There was also some market for Secret Realms in racing and racing categories, and they could consider making them in the Sub-Secret Realm in the future.

Mingyue Zhaoxue didn’t waste time.

They found Captain Lastimosa.

“Are you finished practicing?”

“I am ready to enter the next challenge!”

“Very good, you will love the second half of the training, because you will be able to drive the Titan yourself!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue was overjoyed when they heard that: “What? I can also drive a Titan? Shouldn’t only Pilots be able to use Titans?”

“Of course, it’s just a simulator!” Lastimosa said, pressing a few times on the controller in his hand. “Before that, we need a bigger space.”

The next second.

The surrounding space shattered into light.

Then it immediately reorganized to form a brand-new space.

This space is very open. The two stood on a circular platform, surrounded by an endless grassland, and a Titan Mech stood not far away.

“Let me solemnly introduce you, he is called BT and he is my good partner. This is not stolen from the IMC, but our Resistance’s own developed Vanguard-Class Titan!”

When facing this giant steel beast full of technology, strength, and heavy industrial art.

Mingyue Zhaoxue could clearly feel Cooper’s excitement and longing.

Not only was it Rifleman Cooper? When the Adventurers faced such equipment, they all looked excited. Various discussions immediately sounded in the Secret Realm Hall in front of each crystal.

“The equipment of the Star Sea Secret Realm is too powerful!”

“What level do you think the strength of this Titan can reach?”

“I think it should start at Third Rank, Three-Star!”

“Just the strength of the equipment can reach above the Third Rank. If you add the cultivation bonus… I feel this will become a whole new school!”

“I’ve never seen such special equipment!”

“Isn’t this much cooler than flying a plane or driving a tank?”

“Most importantly, this Titan Mech is a mass-produced equipment, so it is likely not a rare or rare treasure. Once the first one is successfully unlocked, the future output probability should be quite high!”

“We Miracle City can even build our own Pilot army with this!”

“Damn, Miracle City’s Pilot Legion? It’s so cool just thinking about it! I like this kind of equipment. This is the weapon and toy that men should use!”

“……”

The Four Great Lords were even more shocked at this moment.

Especially Ren Wanxiong, Gao Yue, and Li Jianhan, these three newly arrived Lords.

They had never seen a Secret Realm with such a novel and characteristic art style. Although the part currently displayed is still very limited, it is only a cutscene and the Pilot training process.

But the display of guns, machine cannons, Titan Mechs, and various weapons and equipment.

Had already made these few Lords dumbfounded.

When they realized that this Titan Mech was also equipment and it might also explode, they were all strongly impacted. They clearly realized what this meant!

This kind of equipment.

Has never been seen before.

If it can really be mass-produced.

The future potential of Miracle City will be immeasurable.

This should belong to a kind of Mechanical Category equipment, but it is a style that has never been seen before. The collection value alone is extremely high, not to mention that it is extremely practical!

Without waiting to think more.

The plot continued to advance.

Lastimosa pointed at the sky and said, “Your Titan is here!”

A violent breaking sound exploded.

They saw a giant Titan Mech, diving down from the high altitude of hundreds of meters, like a supersonic cannonball falling rapidly to the ground. This appearance was simply overbearing and cool to the point of explosion!

“Is this the simulation machine mech that the Adventurers are going to use?”

“It’s so cool!”

“Is the trial of the second half of the training a battle with Captain Lastimosa?”

In the excited and expectant mood of the Adventurers.

Something unexpected happened.

The picture of the entire virtual space froze, and the Titan Mech froze in mid-air at the moment of falling, making the original clear environment become a screen full of color, and a harsh alarm sounded in their minds.

“Warning!”

“System error!”

“Simulation cabin energy is too low!”

The next moment!

The screen closed completely.

Mingyue Zhaoxue returned to the simulation cabin.

The voice of Captain Lastimosa came from outside.

“We were attacked by the IMC. All non-essential systems have been shut down. It seems that a major event has occurred. I will take you out first!”

The door of the cabin opened.

Captain Lastimosa was installing a battery for the Titan, then directly sat in the cockpit of the Titan. In this process, he said to Mingyue Zhaoxue:

“Prepare for battle, Cooper!”

“We are about to enter a new planet. If you are unlucky, you will die there.”

His tone was very calm.

There was no tension or fear at all.

For this old soldier, it was obviously a habit.

“See you later, good luck. If you can survive, you will become an excellent Pilot.”

After saying that.

The door of the cabin closed.

The Titan quickly started and left the scene.

At this time, Captain Cole, Cooper’s immediate superior officer, ran to them. He rudely threw a gun to the Adventurer and then shouted loudly: “Cooper, get out of this damn simulation cabin and immediately go to the transport aircraft to meet!”

“Yes!”

A harsh alarm sounded from all directions.

Violent vibrations made it difficult to stand.

This spaceship was obviously under continuous attack. Everyone was frantically running towards the hangar. Sparks were splashing everywhere, and explosions were coming from unknown directions.

For a while.

Tension increased!

If you run slowly, you will die here!

Mingyue Zhaoxue quickly followed Captain Cole and ran wildly, and finally successfully entered the hangar and boarded a landing craft parked here.

“Take off!”

“Take off immediately!”

“The spaceship is going to explode!”

“……”

Landing transport aircraft took off from the spaceship one by one.

The Adventurers saw the full picture of the MacAllan spaceship in this process.

“So big!”

“So shocking!”

“Is this kind of vehicle real?”

The MacAllan spaceship is a super large spaceship comparable to a small city. Its volume is large enough to easily accommodate 100,000 people, plus hundreds or thousands of vehicles.

At this moment.

In the pitch black universe.

The magnificent giant vehicle was on the verge of destruction in silence.

When the violent flames kept blooming, quickly engulfing the entire hull, but it was silent and no sound could be heard. This scene was very shocking to the Adventurers.

And.

Including Mingyue Zhaoxue.

The few hundred soldiers in this landing transport aircraft all entered an oval-shaped landing cabin. Dozens of such transport aircraft went to the planet below.

From Mingyue Zhaoxue’s current position.

They could just see the panoramic view of most of the planet!

This is a planet wrapped in a thick cloud layer. From here, they could clearly see the thickness and flow of the cloud layer. A part of the area revealed a vast gray land and undulating mountains.

Above this planet.

There is a relatively smaller satellite.

Although this satellite is relatively smaller than the planet, it is also a behemoth, but at this moment, it has all collapsed, leaving only a small piece of reddish-brown remains and thousands of fragments.

“Too amazing!”

“It’s too spectacular!”

The Adventurers were seeing the ground from the height of outer space for the first time, and for the first time, they saw a planet that had been blown up. What kind of power and war could actually produce such destructive power?

The enemy’s attacks are still continuing!

Radio: “The information is wrong!”

Radio: “We are being attacked by Typhon’s anti-orbital weapons!”

Radio: “Release the landing pod immediately, release the landing pod immediately, we must break through IMC’s anti-orbital defense!”

Radio: “We were hit, we are falling, the coordinates are unknown!”

“……”

When various noisy radios kept ringing in their ears.

It made people feel a sense of chaos, tension, and excitement.

With a loud bang, the transport aircraft in which the Adventurers were riding was also hit. A large amount of fire instantly engulfed the cabin, and the launch was opened at the last moment. The landing pod fell straight down.

Mingyue Zhaoxue stayed in a narrow landing cabin like an iron coffin.

They were instantly released into a vast space, and they were falling towards the planet below at an amazing speed. The friction with the atmosphere soon turned into a meteor fireball, and there were countless such individual landing pods.

Looking at it.

Like a beautiful meteor shower.

Falling straight down from the height of tens of thousands of feet.

What a thrilling and refreshing experience?

Those who are timid and afraid of heights would be scared to death in this situation.

What’s more, in this process, the enemy’s weapons are still attacking. The Adventurers can clearly see landing pods being blown up one after another. A sense of powerlessness of fate was born.

It is meaningless to do anything except pray.

Is this the cruelty of the war in the Star Sea World?

Life is too fragile in such a war!

Mingyue Zhaoxue first fell into a thick cloud layer, and their vision soon fell into darkness, and they could see streaks of lightning, which were constantly tearing the sky.

A few seconds later.

They emerged from this cloud.

At this moment, they were in the center of the sea of clouds.

The setting sun illuminated the vast and magnificent sea of clouds in the distance.

Dozens of surviving landing pods were like dozens of fiery meteorites cutting through the sky.

This scene is magnificent and so shocking, but the landing pod’s speed is getting faster and faster, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. At this moment, it has completely turned into a big fireball.

Landing at this speed.

Even if the Adventurers were made of iron, they would be gone!

Fortunately, at this moment, the landing pod’s counter-thrust system started and constantly ejected flames to decelerate, which also made the surface cool down quickly.

“Warning!

“Prepare for landing!”

Mingyue Zhaoxue was extremely nervous in the cockpit.

Such a thrilling experience has never appeared even in the craziest dream!

Finally, when the landing pod completely penetrated the cloud layer, at this time, the ground was clearly visible. Without waiting for the Adventurers to observe, a violent impact sounded, and the landing pod heavily landed on the ground of this planet.
