Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 570: Volume 6 Chapter 42 Setting Off on the Journey

Tiptoeing closer, the Skull Mecha tried to nudge the chaotic pile of parts that were once the Cold Radiance cockpit with its foot.

The cockpit slightly swayed. The Skull Mecha was startled and quickly jumped away.

”Come out already, I’m telling you, I have a very bad temper!” Fatty shouted angrily.

There was no response from the cockpit. The Skull Mecha listened attentively while staying far away for a while, hesitated, and approached again... casually picked up a twisted pipe, and poked it...

Still no reaction.

”Playing dead, huh? Acting tough, huh?” The Skull Mecha seemed relieved and arrogantly stepped onto the cockpit, stomping and jumping on it: ”Don’t blame me for bullying you!”

The players were speechless. This kind of teasing, still not considered bullying?

Everyone felt fortunate. In the meantime, sacrifices made by one saved many. If it were them inside the cockpit, they would probably have slit their throats immediately.

As the cockpit of the mecha was completely turned into unrecognizable scrap metal under the enthusiastic trampling of the Skull Mecha, a beep sounded. The long torture finally ended.

”Human Bloodshed!”

”Between Laughter, the Tragic Protagonist”

”An SM Tragedy Under Public Eyes”

”On the Mysterious Skull Mecha”

”Discussion on SM01314’s Hand Speed”

When Fatty logged off, and Laughter vanished from sight, the entire observation hall erupted into chaos. The players sighed and discussed fervently. Questions and topics derived from the battlefield match surged onto the game forum under various eye-catching titles.

Players were greatly interested in SM01314’s displayed immense combat power and the mysterious Skull Mecha. While heated discussions ensued, they also summarized some experiences and lessons.

”I understand now, whoever, just don’t mess with that SM01314 guy, his brain is definitely not normal. Falling into his hands, it’s over! If I were teased like that, I’d be crying my eyes out.”

This statement was voted as the most approved by players. Since then, SM01314 became synonymous with the nightmare of the network.

Meanwhile, Joke, turned into a ridicule. When players had disputes, they often said, ”Acting tough, huh? Believe it or not, I’ll pulverize you like Joke!”

As soon as this was said, a fight broke out.

”Who’s Joke? You’re Joke, your whole family is Joke!”

”......”

The biggest beneficiary of this duel was probably Margaret.

This female Colonel from the Feiyang Republic stationed at the Chuckna Hanjing Joint Military Base’s Armored Division Combat Staff Department successfully freed herself from Joke’s entanglement.

However, since Joke openly pursued Margaret and lost all face, Margaret was teased by well-informed friends and grew increasingly resentful of that bastard SM01314.

A silvery-white dolphin-shaped shuttle took off from Gallipalan Military Airport. Swiftly breaking through the clouds, it soared into space, heading towards a new destroyer docked at the Space Port.

Tian Xingjian sat in the shuttle, quietly watching out the porthole.

In his view, the brown-green Miloke Planet, shrouded in clouds, gradually transformed from vast land into a sphere hovering in the deep space. It got further away from him.

Twelve hours after concluding that boring mecha test online, Fatty bid farewell to the sullen Mother Ann and Ann Lei and was picked up by a military vehicle bound for the airport.

Milan and Bonnie, also accompanied him to Gallipalan East Suburb’s military airport, where they would board another ship to the capital Ludelit.

Milan was going to take over Boswell’s subsequent work at the Capital First Military Academy’s research room, while Bonnie was to meet with Russell at the Command Department.

The shuttle slowly docked with the destroyer. As the pressure balance light lit up, the docking hatch opened, and Fatty stepped into the destroyer.

”Fatty!”

Just entering the cabin, Fatty heard a familiar voice and turned to see Carl squeezing his big head between two soldiers, sucking in his belly and rushing towards him.

”Carl?” Fatty was stunned. He didn’t expect to see this former intern staff who used to blow his own horn at the Combat Department 6th Research Room: ”You’re heading to Chuckna too?”

”Yeah!” Carl ran up to Fatty, exclaimed in surprise: ”You didn’t know? I’m also part of this exchange program. Knowing you’re on this cruiser, I’ve been looking everywhere for you since boarding.”

Fatty saw the epaulets on Carl’s uniform and smiled: ”Nice, already a Major!”

Carl couldn’t stand being praised and immediately responded proudly: ”Already was. I’m one of the first batch of military staff promoted after the Lucerne campaign!”

”You have the nerve to mention Lucerne.” Fatty snorted, glancing sideways at Carl, observing him intently. Even now, he was holding a grudge against this big-headed guy for not disclosing the Lucerne landing plan.

Long bullied by Fatty, Carl sensed trouble and quickly changed the topic, flattering: ”I can’t compare to you.” He gestured: ”You don’t know, when I found out what you did, my jaw almost dropped! Honestly, I’ve never seen someone as impressive as you. Forget the past, just talking about catching James, wow, you don’t know how big it was domestically.”

Fatty grinned widely, seeing Carl as a kindred spirit, forgetting all displeasure, and humbly said: ”That was nothing... Tell me, how big was the sensation?”
