"???"

Netizens around the world stared in shock at Xu Meng, who was fully armored, and were all dumbfounded.

"What the heck? A mecha???"

"Wait, wait a minute, everyone else is using fighter jets and missiles, why are you using mechs? Does that make sense?"

"I knew it! Xu Meng wouldn't miss this chance to show off!"

"But to be fair... he does look pretty cool in this outfit."

"Coach! I want to pilot a mecha!!"

……

Everyone knows that Xu Meng likes to join in the fun.

But he himself was absent from this big global campaign for Dream Building, which made many people feel that something was missing.

Now, seeing him make his grand entrance at the last minute, and with such a flamboyant entrance...

Although I kept complaining, I suddenly felt that it made sense!
Amidst a torrent of comments, the camera pans back, returning to a panoramic view.

The heavy latches that had been locked on popped open at the same time, and the enormous Zhenyue mech was freed from its restraints and detached from the space station.

A flash of red light appeared briefly in the mech's eyes.

The mechanical structure of the mecha's shoulders, lower back, and calves changed simultaneously, revealing nozzles.

A bright yellow tail flame shot out and quickly turned blue within a second.

The blazing tail flames and clear Mach rings resembled long swords forged in flames, shooting straight into space.

A powerful thrust acted on the mecha, propelling it straight down!

The speed was so fast that even Xu Meng inside the mecha's head began to experience a huge overload—a small window was specially left for Xu Meng in the lower right corner of the screen.

The berserk mech rushed from geosynchronous orbit into near-Earth orbit in a very short time, and then plunged into the atmosphere without stopping!

The mech's surface rubbed intensely against the air, turning it red-hot and shiny...

The audience stared in disbelief at the rapidly dropping height of the mechs and the soaring temperature seen through the small window.

Meanwhile, the players around Ningzhou Jinghu Holographic Park looked up in astonishment.

At this very moment, a fiery meteor is plummeting rapidly through the sky!
Do not……

It's much faster than a naturally falling fireball!
Moreover, unlike missiles and meteors, their trajectories are all angled.

This fireball's trajectory was completely vertical!

Like a sharp sword piercing the sky, it came from beyond the heavens, and with unparalleled power, it pierced the alien mothership amidst the soaring music!
Then, under Xu Meng's control, the mecha knelt on one knee and landed in a standard superhero pose, creating a large crater in the holographic park.

dusty.

Everyone in Jinghu Park held their breath and looked up.

Staring in shock at the colossal object that was at least 30 stories tall, he slowly straightened up.

In the live stream, the camera circled the mecha once, providing a 360-degree panoramic view.

Xu Meng slowly raised her right hand.

In reality, the Zhenyue ship also raised its right arm simultaneously.

The alien fighter jets above Jinghu Lake turned around and pounced on the mechs that had inflicted heavy damage on their mothership.

A monotonous, electronic female voice rang out in the live stream room—

"Electromagnetic pulse cannon charging countdown: 3, 2, 1."

"Charging completed."

The blinding light spread rapidly upwards from his feet and then converged on his right arm.

After a brief pause, thick and dense bolts of lightning shot out straight ahead!

An electric grid covering the sky instantly captured all the approaching alien warplanes. Under the intense electric shock, the pilots were instantly electrocuted.

Out-of-control fighter jets spewed sparks and fell in droves like flocks of birds with broken wings.

After dealing with these disturbances, Zhenyue crouched slightly and then leaped through the hole it had just punched onto the alien spaceship.

The spaceship was much larger than the Zhenyue, but it obviously couldn't stand up and fight the mechs hand-to-hand.

So what followed was a pure, satisfying, and overwhelming victory!

Viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room watched as Xu Meng piloted the Zhenyue and stood on top of the spaceship, dismantling it and eventually destroying it.

Half of the massive wreckage plunged into Jinghu Lake, while the other half crashed onto the shore. Xu Meng stopped, satisfied.

This promotional campaign has thus entered its final stage—

A line of fighter jets trailing colored smoke flew overhead simultaneously over the spaceships that had crashed in all the cities.

After the fighter jets flew away, the colored smoke automatically transformed into lines of large, colorful characters:
[Echoes of the Deep Space & Under the Rock are officially released today]

[Only available on the Zhumeng Games platform]

Use the Dream Machine for the perfect gaming experience!
-
At this point, the real world finally quieted down.

The whole process was short, lasting only 15 minutes from the alien spaceship emerging from the clouds to the human counterattack and the spaceship crashing.

It could even be said that it was somewhat rushed.

But this 15-minute performance brought a huge shock to the world!
This is especially true for those who don't use the internet much or have little knowledge of the virtual world.

At this moment, they are all experiencing a tremendous psychological shock!
Before today, their only concept of something similar was the drone swarm performance in Xia Country.

Drones can be used to create images of people, words, fireworks, and other shapes in the sky.

That was already an extremely impressive thing for them.

But now, seeing something so outrageous without warning...

Even players who have been closely following the progress of the holographic device were dumbfounded, not to mention those who were less observant.

Each of them felt as if they were in a dream.

If it weren't for the spaceship wreckage still lying there, and the media outlets that were a step behind starting to broadcast the news, they simply wouldn't have believed their eyes!

After regaining their senses, those who were far away frantically read the news, searching for keywords such as "[Dream Building]", "[Dream Machine]", and "[Holographic Image]", and did a lot of catching up on their studies.

Those who were nearby immediately sprang into action, heading straight for the crashed spaceship!
Mael, disregarding the game's release, hurried downstairs to the Ares Park.

Downstairs, he saw countless citizens waking up from their dreams and running in the same direction as him.

Taxis were impossible to hail, and public bicycles were all snapped up.

He could only follow the main group on foot.

The street was packed with pedestrians, almost like a sudden, grand nighttime parade.

The same spectacle was also staged in New York, Sydney, London, and other places.

Citizens excitedly walked towards the crashed spaceship, eager to get a closer look at this alien spaceship.

Zhu Meng didn't show any fear at all, just boldly leaving the spaceship there for people to admire at will.

When the citizens arrived closer, they not only saw the holographic spaceship, but also a large number of reporters carrying cameras, and many people in casual clothes carrying unfamiliar equipment.

Ordinary people don't care about these details; they're only concerned with taking out their phones to take photos with the massive spaceship.

Exclamations, laughter, and the sound of people talking loudly on video calls with friends were all mixed together.

The scene was noisy and lively.

Karn was happily talking on the phone with his friend.

Until a man in a suit with a serious expression patted him on the shoulder.

"?" Karn turned around, puzzled.

The person filming him asked expressionlessly, "MI6, Special Operations Team?"

Karn's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Well..." he said, his mouth a little dry, "I was just... joking."

The man patted him on the shoulder, "Watch your words next time."

Then he turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Karn was at a loss, standing blankly in the crowd, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
