Chapter 174: Chapter 70: Black Death God (Extra for Leng Bing Han’s Silver Alliance)
Xu Mo surveyed the area, gaining a basic understanding of the ‘cost ranking’ as well as their control and weapon systems.
Finally, he stood before a black cha.
The lines on this cha were extrely sharp, many of its edges pointed.
Sharp, ruthless, and solemn, those were the feelings Xu Mo got from this cha’s appearance.
It resembled a killing machine.
The na of the cha also matched the impression it gave Xu Mo.
...
cha code: Black Death God!
Dual control system, three weapon modes, switchable at will.
Currently, the weapon modes Xu Mo saw included a right-hand Energy Battle Blade and a left-hand chanical Gun.
But according to the panel outside, both arm weapon modes could switch.
The three attack modes were: gun, cannon, and saber.
chanical Gun mode.
Combat Power strength: A minus.
Advantages: Fast attack speed, wide attack range, capable of rapid firing.
Disadvantages: Relatively weak attack power.
chanical Cannon mode.
Combat Power strength: A plus.
Advantages: Strong attack power.
Disadvantages: Requires ti to charge, slow attack speed.
Energy Battle Blade mode.
Combat Power strength: A plus.
Advantages: Powerful attack.
Disadvantages: Close-range attack, high difficulty in control.
These characteristics of the Black Death God ant this cha was prepared for close-combat chanical Masters.
The chanical Gun, being the weakest in firepower, is responsible for attrition; during a multi-enemy siege, when fearing for the cha’s safety, one could opt for rapid fire with the chanical Gun.
The chanical Cannon also serves a sweeping role, but it is not a conventional weapon, primarily due to its high energy consumption and slow response speed.
Lastly, setting the saber’s energy level at A plus ant the cha’s attributes were suitable for a close-combat chanical Master.
The Black Death God’s cost was not the highest, ranked third among all chas.
But it was the most suitable for Xu Mo among these three chas.
Perhaps because of past experiences, he had a special preference for chas wielding sabers.
“Senior Sister, may I give it a try?” Xu Mo asked.
“Yes,” Leng Qiu nodded.
She stepped forward to operate the cha.
The energy shield opened, and the machine inside sent the cha out.
After opening the cabin door, Xu Mo entered the cha.
Leng Qiu walked to the side, looking up at the solemn, black chanical ‘monster’ before her, the Black Death God, feeling a sense of oppression.
From the cha Xu Mo had selected, one could glimpse aspects of his personality.
Leng Qiu knew.
This junior brother of hers was not as harmless as he looked; appearances can be deceiving.
If he were a kind soul, it would have been him who died at Nanming Academy, not Xiao Li.
But she liked it!
She most disliked those ‘effeminate’ types, lacking any kind of presence. There were few in the academy who could match her aura.
chas were a man’s toy.
This Black Death God really looked cool.
It suited her junior brother well.
She hoped that one day the reputation of the Black Death God would resonate throughout Steel Do.
After so basic operations, Xu Mo stepped out of the cha and said to Leng Qiu, “Senior Sister, I’ll choose this one.”
Fourth generation cha, dual control system, three weapon modes, with Combat Power that could reach A plus.
This was a top-tier weapon.
The developnt of chas was to allow individuals to possess greater strength without exposing themselves too much, after all, humans are just flesh and bones, and very fragile.
“Alright, from today on, the Black Death God is yours. Set up the unlock system,” Leng Qiu said. High-level chas all have anti-theft systems; once set, only the cha driver with permission can open the cha Cabin.
If the cha suffers forceful break-in damage, it will activate a self-destruct program.
Xu Mo was sowhat excited.
This was a top-notch cha that could allow his Combat Power to leap forward. Not to ntion Combat Power, even if it was sold it would fetch a sky-high price, and he had never seen so much money.
It was quite tempting indeed!
Of course, he wouldn’t actually do that.
The academy had given him the cha not just because the assassination attempt had threatened his life but because he needed a powerful weapon.
The academy couldn’t assign a top-notch expert to protect him at all tis.
Top-level experts were not ordinary people; with extraordinary status, to protect a student?
Lower-level people providing protection wouldn’t be of much significance.
Xiao Li, who had attempted to assassinate him, already possessed a B-plus Source Power Level, which was considered among the skilled in Steel Do City.
Xu Mo looked at the Black Death God, only regretting that the fellow was sowhat large, not convenient to carry around.
He certainly couldn’t go about walking in the cha, could he?
“Where should we deliver the cha and charging equipnt? I’ll help you transport it,” Leng Qiu offered.
“To the teacher’s,” Xu Mo replied.
“Okay,” Leng Qiu nodded.
Then, the two of them walked out together.
“Junior Brother, powerful chas generally also match powerful chanical Masters. Don’t neglect cultivating your Source Power Level. If you pilot this cha, you will face strong enemies in the future. If you are too weak yourself, you won’t be able to bear that kind of pressure,” Leng Qiu said.
This was historically proven.
The stronger the Transcendent, the stronger all aspects of their qualities.
Putting a weak person in a powerful cha against a formidable enemy, even if they have high chanical Talent, when it cos to the real battlefield, they won’t make it.
“Understood,” Xu Mo nodded.
A cha is, after all, a machine; personal strength is the foundation.
A truly powerful chanical Master can continue to fight even after their cha is destroyed.
After leaving the chanical Building, Xu Mo contacted Lin Qingze.
Lin Qingze took Xu Mo to another place within Noah Academy.
To select Battle Armor.
chas were not portable, but Battle Armor was.
All this was the academy providing protection for Xu Mo.
This made Xu Mo marvel not just once.
Could he be assassinated one more ti?
At the sa ti, it’s hard not to be impressed by the extraordinary wealth and magnificence of the Academy.
Of course, gratitude is the predominant feeling.
No matter how talented he is, Xu Mo knows that up to this point he’s still just a student and hasn’t contributed anything to the Academy.
Xu Mo understands.
From now on, he is bound to carry the identity of a Noah Academy student for life.
For better or worse.
Such a debt of gratitude is difficult to repay.
…
A month has passed since the assassination attempt on Xu Mo.
In this month, the upper echelons of Steel Do City have been shaken.
The companies silently took the hits against the Academy, without retaliation.
After the incident with the Ming Group, where the company struck first to test the Academy, they naturally had to accept this counterattack.
Neither side has yet reached the point of an outright conflict.
The investigation into Xiao Li never ceased.
But even to this day, no one has been able to identify the mastermind behind the curtains.
Consequently, the assassination remains an unresolved case.
Because the true culprit wasn’t found, Xu Mo has not once left Noah Academy in this past month.
In front of the Ruins Building, many people gather around the screen, whispering among themselves.
Today, sothing very bizarre happened.
The top Hunter on the rookie leaderboard suddenly vanished, completely disappearing from the rankings.
Xu Mo’s previous score had him far ahead of the second place.
And even if he exchanged equipnt, with the level and speed at which he defeated monsters, he should have been able to rise back up quickly; staying on the leaderboard shouldn’t have been an issue at all.
A B-level Monster alone is worth a hundred thousand points and could propel one to the upper echelons.
So people saw Xu Mo in the chanical Building, but his na was no longer on the leaderboard.
This ant that the Academy had removed his na from the list.
Because his score was too high?
Indeed, being on the rookie leaderboard no longer had significance for Xu Mo.
He simply had no equals.
As the students of Noah Academy would say,
With Brother S around, the students from the other Eight Extraordinary Colleges can only compete for second place.
At this mont, Xu Mo was indeed in the Ruins Building.
Ruins World.
Xu Mo had reached the outskirts of Steel Do City, a region in the world of ruins that monsters had devastated terribly, teeming with formidable creatures.
He was clad in Battle Armor, wielding twin War Sabers, and was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Monsters.
Among them was one B-level, three B-minus level, and countless C-level Monsters, all attacking him.
Xu Mo moved swiftly, his sabers flashing as he sliced through the hoard, and one by one, the monsters fell to his blades.
Ahead, a massive B-level Monster lunged at him. Its huge form and palm-like blades stabbed toward Xu Mo.
Leaping up, Xu Mo let loose a chain of strikes with his twin sabers, slashing off several fingers. He continued his ascent, then swept his sabers across.
With a squelch, the gargantuan Monster’s throat was cut open, blood poured out, and it let out a trendous howl as it fell.
Landing, Xu Mo bent his knees slightly before standing upright, his sabers stained with blood.
Monster corpses littered the surrounding area.
For the past month, he frequently trained in the Ruins World.
Practicing with single sabers, twin sabers, as well as firearms and cannons, all in preparation for controlling the Black Death God.
The Ruins World was an excellent Trial Ground.
“Impressive.”
From a distance, a figure approached him and said, “Ready to trade?”
“Sure,” Xu Mo nodded.
These days, while training in the Ruins World, he also made a bit of extra money on the side.
He now had an identity card and his own account where he had earned a sum of money.
But just then, Xu Mo received a system prompt and saw his system panel.
The Sky Trial Field has been triggered; do you wish to take the challenge?
A look of surprise crossed Xu Mo’s face as he had accepted many Trial Ground challenges before, all completed successfully.
There would always be nurous rewards.
But this was the first ti he encountered this situation.
Sky Trial Field access requires triggering?
Warning: Difficulty Level S, the Sky Trial Field of Steel Do City; no one has ever succeeded, and failure will result in the clearing of all points.
No successful challengers?
The Ruins World must also have many years of history, and throughout the history of Steel Do City, no one has succeeded in their challenge.
Difficulty Level: S.
Xu Mo felt a slight ripple within.
He chose to accept.
“The Steel Do City Sky Trial Field has been activated.”
A ssage flickered across Xu Mo’s mind.
The next mont, a terrifying storm erged above the Steel Do City in the Ruins World, drawing many monsters into its raging maw, a sight to behold.
“What’s happening?”
“What is that?”
People of the Ruins World in Steel Do City looked up at the sky, stunned at the sight.
Many were witnessing such a phenonon for the first ti.
What was happening?
Was there an error in the system of the Ruins World?
“It’s the Sky Trial Field. Soone has triggered the challenge access for the Sky Trial Field and opened it up,” soone spoke up.
As the highest level of Trial Ground, the Sky Trial Field isn’t sothing that everyone is qualified to open; certain conditions need to be triggered.
What these specific conditions are remain unclear.
But clearly, soone has triggered it now.
So people promptly exited the Ruins World and then went outside to spread the news.
Within monts, the news spread at an astonishing speed.
Countless people rushed into the Ruins World.
Noah Academy was also abuzz.
Soone had actually triggered the access to challenge the Sky Trial Field of the Ruins World.
It’s said that throughout the history of Steel Do City, no one has ever succeeded in the Sky Trial Field of the Ruins World!
