Jian Weiliang.
A second-year student in the cha Combat Departnt at Imperial Capital University, holding the title of Interdiate cha Pilot.
Typically, assessnts for the cha combat module are conducted by junior pilots. Experts have their own pride; they co to the Battle Network for exchange and practice, to enhance their skills, and disdain bullying the weak.
But Jian Weiliang is an exception.
His outward excuse is that he cannot stand amateurs tarnishing the reputation of pilots, even online.
But in reality, he just enjoys crushing the weak, loves seeing those who can't beco pilots in real life, co online to indulge, only to be defeated by him, leaving them in despair and disappointnt, from which he derives pleasure.
Jian Weiliang's online ID is "Flying Shadow." Today, he has already eliminated nine amateur pilots in the entry assessnt.
"Flying Shadow, got ti to crush so noobs again today?" A pilot nad Feng Chen, familiar with Jian Weiliang, waved to greet him.
Jian Weiliang skillfully maneuvered the Petrel to perform a technique called "Dragon Playing with Pearl," stood with his sword, and reviewed the entry assessnt applications in front of him, saying, "Feng Chen, how many tis have I told you, I'm not crushing noobs, I'm contributing to world progress. In two years, the main force of the Hill Civilization will invade.
Let these ignorant guys give up their unrealistic fantasies, so they can better focus on their actual jobs...
Damn, 'Ten Steps to Kill One,' such an arrogant na. Today, I'll teach you a lesson, suppress your arrogance, and let you know the importance of humility."
With that.
He accepted Du Ge's assessnt application.
The pilot nad Feng Chen did not leave but entered Jian Weiliang's assessnt field to watch.
He is a junior pilot, and observing higher-level pilot battles doesn't help him improve much, but watching battles of interdiate pilots like Flying Shadow, who are neither high nor low, can enhance his skills.
That's why he looks down on Flying Shadow crushing noobs, yet is still willing to watch.
Flying Shadow's ID reveals his characteristics; his combat style emphasizes agility and nimbleness, specializing in light chas.
Today, Feng Chen wants to learn Flying Shadow's signature move, the "Returning Wind Slash," which allows the Petrel cha to glide a certain distance in the air and change direction at will, just like a petrel.
That is the most difficult maneuver humans can perform with the Petrel cha, and Flying Shadow loves using this technique to crush noobs.
...
Soon.
Du Ge, wearing the Petrel cha, entered the assessnt field.
The simulated geographical environnt of the assessnt field was a grassland, with dense grass on the ground and almost no obstacles.
This is one of the most suitable scenarios for beginners to perform.
Du Ge, with rich combat experience, first surveyed the surrounding environnt upon entering the assessnt field, then looked at the examiner opposite him. ＲАＮỔBЕᶊ
The sa Petrel cha stood there coldly, with no sight of the operator inside.
Most of the ti, Du Ge would crazily brush attributes, relying on absolute power and speed to suppress enemies, having learned few techniques.
Moreover, those he fought against were mostly top experts, using big moves that could strike from miles away, either covering all angles or overpowering with force, rarely using intricate techniques.
Du Ge's combat skills were learned in a simulation field. Even so, after glancing at the examiner opposite, he found at least ten flaws in his stance. Such a guy, even if Du Ge didn't have such high ntal power, even with just a thousand ntal power, he felt he could easily handle him...
Indeed, an entry-level examiner!
If Lin Hong couldn't even beat such a guy, he truly had no combat talent!
"Ten Steps to Kill One?" Jian Weiliang's voice ca from the public channel.
"It's , greetings to the examiner."
Du Ge politely greeted the examiner opposite.
The synonym for low-key is reserved, humble. The arrogant way of speaking on the Alien Star Battlefield no longer suited him.
"Why co to the Battle Network for assessnt?" Jian Weiliang asked.
"Because I like chas," Du Ge replied.
"If you like chas, why not beco a pilot?" Jian Weiliang asked again.
"I tried, but I didn't pass," Du Ge replied.
"Do you know that in two years, the Hill Civilization will invade massively?" Jian Weiliang changed the topic and asked.
"..." Du Ge was stunned, "I know."
"Knowing that, why still co to the Battle Network for these aningless things?" Jian Weiliang sighed, "Young man, chas are for fighting, not for you to show off. Today, I'll defeat you with one move, and after you go back, focus on more aningful things for society, don't waste ti on the Battle Network..."
Damn!
Today I encountered a pretentious prick!
Listening to the advice coming from the public channel, Du Ge was speechless. One move, don't you know those who say such things usually get stepped on?
"Examiner, I'll consider your suggestion, but I still want to try, please guide ." Du Ge, as if not hearing Flying Shadow's sarcasm, politely drew his broad sword and assud the most standard defensive posture.
"Heh, young man, today I'll show you the gap between a real pilot and an amateur..." Jian Weiliang chuckled, and the Petrel cha suddenly leaped high.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind passed by.
Then, there was a loud bang.
Jian Weiliang's vision blurred, and he was already out of the assessnt field, with nine words floating before his eyes: "Cockpit destroyed, you have been defeated."
Damn!
Jian Weiliang was completely stunned. He only saw a flash of light, and he was forced out of the assessnt. What exactly happened?
The opponent was clearly more than twenty ters away, did he use a cannon?
But in the first assessnt, the Petrel cha is only allowed to carry a broad sword!
Jian Weiliang imdiately opened the replay.
Then.
He saw that at the mont he leaped, the opponent lightly stepped back, and the broad sword in his hand had already been thrown out, piercing straight into his cockpit like a teor!
For a mont.
Jian Weiliang's face turned ashen, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten sothing foul.
In the audience, Feng Chen was dumbfounded, witnessing the process of Flying Shadow being skewered by a sword. He was amazed at Du Ge's reaction speed but still shook his head. After all, it's a wild move; in combat, who throws their weapon away?
This guy must have practiced this move countless tis to pass, banking on the elent of surprise.
In pilot combat, throwing away your weapon ans if you miss the enemy, you're left defenseless, and no pilot would throw their weapon away.
...
Idiot!
In the assessnt field, Du Ge looked at the examiner he had skewered with one sword and also shook his head. In combat, who jumps up and exposes their vulnerabilities to the enemy, do you think you're practicing Taekwondo?
Then.
Du Ge directly applied for the second assessnt. With examiners of this level, it's not worth wasting ti here.
He needed to hurry up, beco a formal pilot, then enter the cha combat training module to gain fa. Having ability and fa without flaunting it is called being low-key; having neither fa nor talent is ordinary, not low-key.
Be low-key in life, high-profile in work!
...
Seeing "Ten Steps to Kill One" still had the face to apply for a second assessnt, Jian Weiliang was furious and chose to accept the assessnt again.
He wanted to show this guy what a real pilot is!
The second assessnt involved hot weapons.
It tested the cha cannon.
The Petrel system is a light entry-level cha, equipped with only one cha cannon, three hundred bullets, capable of single or burst fire.
The passing condition for the second assessnt was simple: if the cha was hit by the examiner and lost combat capability, it was a loss;
As long as the student's bullets broke the examiner's cha's defense, it was considered a pass, without requiring the student to destroy the examiner's cha.
After all.
Shooting requires higher skills from pilots, and unlike the first close combat match, in the hot weapon assessnt, the distance between the two chas exceeded five hundred ters.
Moreover, both sides could move.
Facing a moving target, if not controlled well, three hundred bullets could be wasted in an instant.
Most students couldn't grasp the rhythm, making it impossible for them to destroy a cha controlled by a pilot with just three hundred bullets.
Students did exactly that, firing a burst as soon as they saw the examiner, regardless of anything.
Focusing on firepower coverage.
Before the examiner took them down, hitting the examiner's cha was considered a success.
...
"Ten Steps to Kill One, do you know what you're doing? On the battlefield, losing your weapon ans you'll beco a sitting duck..."
Jian Weiliang entered, opened the public channel, and started lecturing, "Even if you beco a pilot on the Battle Network, you'll be a disgrace to all pilots."
"Examiner, I didn't want to throw the broad sword, but you jumped into the perfect spot, I couldn't help but throw it." Du Ge sheepishly explained, "Rest assured, I won't do it again next ti."
"There won't be a next ti, I won't let soone like you pass the assessnt." Jian Weiliang roared, making an evasive maneuver while raising the cha cannon, aiming at Du Ge and pulling the trigger.
He knew the students' level.
As long as he made a general tactical evasion move, at such a distance, without practicing moving shooting, students couldn't possibly hit him, let alone, he was skilled in agility.
But the next second.
Jian Weiliang lost sight of Du Ge.
Then.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Jian Weiliang was once again kicked out of the assessnt field.
This ti, the ssage in front of him changed to "You have been killed."
A master pretending to be a fool?
At this mont.
Jian Weiliang's expression beca much more serious. He opened the replay video again, but upon seeing it, he was almost infuriated.
When he fired, the opponent dodged in panic, and the shot he fired wasn't even aid, it was just a random shot while dodging.
It might even have been an accidental discharge.
It was precisely this random shot that pierced through his cockpit and nailed him in the forehead...
If he hadn't made a tactical evasion move, this bullet would have flown three ters past him!
Such luck!
Jian Weiliang cursed, then accepted Du Ge's application for the third ti.
This ti.
He didn't waste words, only said three words: "Let's begin!"
Then.
He raised the cha cannon and stood still, shooting at Du Ge.
This ti, he didn't make any tactical moves. He didn't believe his shooting speed would lose to a rookie?
Afterwards.
Another bang.
Jian Weiliang was once again kicked out of the simulation field, with the familiar ssage: "You have been killed."
...
Damn!
What the hell happened?
Jian Weiliang was completely bewildered. He clearly saw the opponent hadn't even raised the gun barrel, how was he killed again?
He shakily opened the replay record, then saw that the opponent fired without even raising the cha cannon properly.
Then.
This accidentally fired bullet once again pierced through the gap in his cockpit, nailing his heart.
Jian Weiliang's mouth twitched violently, and he was on the verge of madness.
What kind of damn luck is this?
He frantically opened the entry assessnt list, wanting to accept Du Ge's application again and completely remove this troublemaker.
But from start to finish, he couldn't find the na "Ten Steps to Kill One."
It was then he rembered, the opponent had defeated him three tis, completing the entry assessnt, how could there be a fourth application...
But letting the opponent pass the assessnt in such a way, he was really unwilling!
The most crucial thing was, no matter what technique the opponent used, he was killed by the opponent three tis.
He was an interdiate pilot, being killed three tis by an entry-level student, if such a video spread, how could he face anyone?
People wouldn't think the opponent was lucky, they would only rember his humiliation of being killed three tis, he would beco a joke...
Why did this happen?
Jian Weiliang's facial features twisted, his ntality collapsed.
No.
This can't be.
He had to do sothing...
At least prevent the assessnt video from spreading.
Feng Chen!
Yes, Feng Chen, and that "Ten Steps to Kill One," if he could silence them, no one would know about this assessnt...
No one would bother checking a newcor's entry assessnt video...
Realizing this, Jian Weiliang rushed out of the examiner's room like a madman, looking for Feng Chen and Du Ge outside.
But he was a step too late, as he went out, he heard Feng Chen talking to Du Ge, with a cheerful laugh in his voice: "...Buddy, I'm impressed, I bet your entry assessnt video will be the first of its kind in history."
"It's not that amazing, just a coincidence, I didn't expect the examiner not to dodge at the end!" Du Ge smiled shyly, "If he moved even a bit, I wouldn't have hit him. He probably went easy on , saying he wanted to show the difference between a real pilot and an amateur, but went easy during the assessnt to let pass, he's really a good person!"
Good person my ass!
Your whole family are good people.
Jian Weiliang's eyes turned red, he approached Feng Chen and Du Ge, forcing a smile: "You two, I want to discuss sothing with you..."
Before he could finish, Feng Chen interrupted him, looking at Jian Weiliang with amusent in his eyes: "Flying Shadow, anything else is negotiable, but deleting the video is absolutely impossible, this guy's luck is unbeatable. Shadow, believe , you'll beco famous too..."
Famous my ass!
Jian Weiliang took a deep breath and asked, "How much?"
"No amount will do!" Feng Chen said, "This is my best chance to gain followers, I'm counting on this video to go viral! I even have to find a way to push it to the top, Flying Shadow, think about it, even black fans are fans..."
Jian Weiliang's face turned ashen, suppressing his anger: "Three thousand net coins."
"Are you kidding ! Calling you Flying Shadow, you really think you're a brother." Feng Chen shook his head, laughing, "Don't you know the value of this video? Fifty thousand net coins, not a penny less."
"Fifty thousand, why don't you go rob soone?" Jian Weiliang shouted in exasperation.
Net coins, officially called Battle Network Coins, can be used to purchase items, materials, gamble, seek help, etc., within the Battle Network.
They can also be exchanged for equivalent currency outside, essentially serving as a universal currency on Bi Xing.
Becoming a pilot ans having the right to use various functions of the cha training module.
But in the cha training module, pilots need to purchase or rent their chas, even entry-level Petrel chas require about a thousand net coins.
Higher-level chas cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of net coins, which new pilots can't afford.
Not being able to afford a cha ans pilots can't participate in cha battles, etc., and without battles, they can't advance to higher-level modules.
As the official statent goes, what cos too easily won't be cherished, and net coins exist to motivate pilots to strive for higher goals.
There are many ways to earn net coins, the simplest being recharging, a bit more challenging is participating in competitions, and another is gambling.
Currently.
Lin Hong has about eight thousand net coins in his account, all earned by betting on Gu Qingyan.
Feng Chen's video posting is also a way to earn net coins, as there are too many pilot battles, many people don't have ti to watch live, nor do they want to sift through countless replay videos, leading to a group of people who specialize in uploading videos.
They find exciting videos and post them on the Battle Network platform for people to watch and comnt, earning a certain amount of net coins based on traffic and rewards.
Du Ge's three entry assessnts, passing in a seemingly lucky manner, t all the criteria for a viral video.
Therefore.
Feng Chen uploaded their video imdiately, when there's money to be made, who cares about friendship!
"Flying Shadow, fifty thousand is already cheap, this is three tis of being killed instantly, what newcor has such godly luck..." Feng Chen said, "Believe , once this video spreads, my earnings will definitely exceed fifty thousand."
"..." Jian Weiliang.
"Ten Steps to Kill, don't worry, I know you're the protagonist in the video, but don't rush to post your video and compete for traffic, let earn from my video first, then you can post yours from the perspective of the person involved, when the hype dies down, we can stir it up again, and split the earnings seventy-thirty..." Feng Chen ignored Jian Weiliang, turning to Du Ge.
"Brother Feng Chen, you can post it, no need to give money, I'm not into this, I prefer chas and combat. Besides, except for the third round, Flying Shadow might have gone easy, I relied on skill, not luck, for the first two assessnts." Du Ge smiled shyly, stubbornly explaining himself.
This ti, his keyword was low-key, so he couldn't hype himself. If he hyped himself and got exposed, it would be devastating to his attributes, but if others did it, he could enjoy the benefits and earn a reputation for being low-key.
"Alright, suit yourself!" Feng Chen said indifferently, he had only just t Du Ge.
From his perspective.
This "Ten Steps to Kill One" guy just got lucky, such a miracle couldn't be replicated a second ti.
A guy who got lucky has little investnt value, so not sharing the money was fine.
At this point, unable to co up with fifty thousand to buy back his reputation, Jian Weiliang's anger had completely shifted to Feng Chen, he glared at Feng Chen viciously: "Fine, just wait, be careful you have the money but not the life to spend it."
