Chapter 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the cockpit of the Battle Dragon Mecha, the corners of the pilot’s mouth curled up as it formed a sinister smile.

From the looks of it, he enjoyed himself as he tore apart the Training Mecha.

Unsurprisingly, the Training Mecha was subdued without any way to fight back against the Battle Dragon Mecha.

The Battle Dragon Mecha was a Guardian Class Mecha of the Mukda Federation’s army. It had several dismantled military-grade weapons alongside some training weapons.

However, even though the military-grade weapons had been disassembled, its combat power was still a level higher than a Training Mecha.

Furthermore, the pilot of the Battle Dragon Mecha had a much higher Mental Strength than a candidate piloting a Training Mecha.

“Damn it, why didn’t you hold on for a few more seconds? I even lost the bet!”

“Haha, What’s the rush? It’s not over yet!”

Listening to the jeers, cheers, and angry shouts around him, Qin Yue subconsciously looked at the two mecha fighting on the stage with eyes filled with envy.

“Qin Yue, Qin Yue…”

Hearing someone call her, Qin Yue subconsciously turned his head around to look at who it was.

A tall and slender young woman looked around as she held a name list in her hand.

Qin Yue recognized that beautiful woman with just a glance. It was his mentor, Lin Yue.

“Teacher Lin, I’m here.” Qin Yue stood up and waved at her mentor.

“Qin Yue, it’s going to be your turn soon. Come with me to the mecha room!”

Lin Yue pushed up her glasses and walked ahead. Qin Yue followed her anxiously.

Soon, Qin Yue arrived at the mecha room.

The mecha room was very large. The two sides of the walkway were filled with brand new Training Mecha. Qin Yue followed his teacher before she stopped at a corner.

“Qin Yue, you don’t have enough Mental Strength. You might not even be able to operate a new training mecha, so I chose this one for you to train with.” Lin Yue pursed her lips lightly, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Meanwhile, when Qin Yue saw the mecha that was covered in dust in front of him, he was completely stunned.

This mecha was incomparable to the two he had just seen in the arena.

Not to mention the 30-meter-tall Battle Dragon Mecha, even compared to an ordinary Training Mecha, it would not be an exaggeration to call this mecha “Trash”.

[Battle Dragon Mecha: High-speed Mecha]

[Height: 30 meters]

[Level: Simplified Guard-class Weapon]

[Tonnage: 500 tons]

[Mental Strength drive level: 20 — 50 points]

…

The mecha in front of Qin Yue was very much inferior in comparison.

[Old Training Mecha: Assault Mecha]

[Height: 15 meters]

[Level: Student]

[Tonnage: 240 tons]

[Mental Strength drive level: 4 points — 20 points]

Mecha levels were divided according to the following levels, from high to low: Galactic class, Ursa Major class, War class, Flashing Star class, Military class, Guardian class, Bodyguard class, Training class.

Mecha combat types could be further divided into the following: Assault class, Devastator class, High-speed class, and Defensive class.

The Training Mecha in front of Qin Yue was not only shabby but also shorter than the mecha on the stage at only fifteen meters in height.

“Qin Yue, the older mecha only requires four points of Mental Strength to operate. The newer models require at least five points making It very difficult for you to operate one. Teacher is doing this for your own good…”

Qin Yue also knew that his teacher meant well. Otherwise, if he could not even operate the mecha in the first place, he might as well have given up immediately.

However, even if he could pilot this mecha, the chance of passing the trial seemed to be very low. In fact, the chances were almost zero.

After all, in terms of performance, that Battle Dragon Mecha was superior to this Training Mecha. Moreover, the Battle Dragon Mecha’s pilot’s battle experience and Mental Strength were far stronger than his.

It was no exaggeration to say it would be difficult to endure for a whole three minutes to pass the trial!

Qin Yue raised her head and glanced at the old mecha. In the end, he still chose to pilot it.

After all, he had come to such an exciting world.

If he did not at least try, then he would stay an ordinary person in the future. With nothing to lose, he would have to tempt fate with the mech in front of him.

“Pilot’s cabin… Activate!” According to the memories in his mind, Qin Yue activated the pilot cabin.

After the order was given, the old mech’s head suddenly opened up and dropped a lifter.

“Hu ~”

Qin Yue took a deep breath and strode forward.

“Qin Yue, don’t fight with the Battle Dragon Mech head-on, you just need to think of a way to last three minutes,” Lin Yue advised softly.

“Okay!” Qin Yue nodded and entered the pilot cabin directly.

According to the memories of his new body, Qin Yue found a silver-white headset that was specially used to interface to the pilot’s Mental Strength.

Qin Yue put the headset on top of his head, and it immediately started to shine with a blue light.

Buzz ~

A series of buzzing sounds exploded around him. Qin Yue frowned tightly, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

After a dozen breaths, Qin Yue wiped the sweat off and exhaled nervously.

“As expected, using only three points of Mental Strength to pilot a mecha that requires four points of Mental Strength is very difficult!”

“Fortunately, I can still barely drive it!”

“Mental Strength and mecha connection established!”

“Mecha cabin closed — mecha activated!”

Shua~

All sorts of instruments in the cockpit lit up, and a message appeared before Qin Yue’s eyes.

Qin Yue focused his eyes and inspected the blue screen. On it was his basic information, his Mental Strength level, and the various combat abilities he had.

[Sixth-generation Training Mecha: Assault-type]

[Mecha Mental Strength range: 4 points — 20 points]

[Pilot: Qin Yue]

[Mental Strength: 3 points]

[Attack power: 9]

[Defense power: 5]

[Speed: 7]

[Equipped weapon: MMA-Lacerta Beam Saber]

“Trial student, Qin Yue, please make your way up to the arena as soon as possible!”

Qin Yue wanted to continue studying the screen for a while as he was distracted by the novelty of being in the world of his dreams.

However, after he heard the urging voice of the teacher in the arena, he put aside his desire to read everything. He used his Mental Strength to pilot the mecha according to the memories in his mind and attempted to take a large step forward.

However, the moment he lifted his leg, it was as if there was a huge boulder weighing down on his foot. The weight caused him to find it exceptionally difficult to make the mecha walk.

Qin Yue roughly understood the reason why it was difficult to drive the mecha.

This mecha originally needed 4 points of Mental Strength to pilot and make all sorts of basic movements.

To display its full battle prowess, one’s Mental Strength needed to be at least 5 points or even 6 points.

As of right now, Qin Yue’s Mental Strength only barely reached 3 points. It was already a consolation that he could barely make it walk.

“F*ck, even making it walk is difficult for me now. I really don’t know how I’ll be able to last three minutes against the Battle Dragon Mecha.”

Nervousness, anticipation, as well as the deep obsession of the original body’s owner, caused his heart to beat faster.

Just like that, Qin Yue steered the mecha onstage step by step while nervousness lingered in his heart.

In the air above the stage, when Qin Yue appeared, the screen suddenly flashed. All sorts of information about the trial appeared on it.

The images of the two mecha pilots took up part of the screen while the rest of the screen showed information related to the mecha they piloted..
