Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 396 395. As the saying goes, simulations are not as good as a real fight...

Compared to Miss Nana who was stuck in the simulation room and didn't understand the current situation, the others reacted much faster. The salesperson quickly raised his hand to turn off the camera... but was stopped by the agent.

She said with sweat on her forehead that there was a requirement from above that filming could not be stopped and that all the materials could be reused.

Seifer didn't bother with all that and walked directly into the shooting screen and quickly flipped into the simulation cabin.

It issues a warning that crew changes are strictly prohibited during the simulation and that violations will result in penalties.

The so-called punishment is naturally to be subjected to electric shocks from the underlying logic of the Academy City. The agent will definitely not allow such a thing. You must know that celebrities must maintain their demeanor at all times, especially in front of the camera.

People who have been struck by electric current can't be said to be calm, but can only be described as looking extremely ugly.

So, as a compromise, Cypher squatted beside her and grabbed the simulated control panel. "You operate the power system under your feet, and I'll operate the fire control and camera."

"Oh...oh, this feels so fun."

How fun is that, Miss? If she is killed by the opponent's machine, she will have to accept the punishment.

Abian Company also quickly notified the students of the academy to go and block the attack, but the distance between the two sides was very close, which... was indeed not easy to do.

Of course, these are not the worst things for Cypher. The worst thing is that since there was no plan to let Miss Nana operate the fire control, this new machine... has no weapons at all!
How can you fight against a well-armed guy with bare hands? You can't do anything at all.

Seifer didn't know what was so interesting, but he immediately asked Miss Nana to focus on the steps required to coordinate with the control panel. "There's no point in talking too much. Now I need you to follow the instructions precisely... First, step on the propel pedal."

In the projection, the light machine, with light inverse legs and a light body, which appeared to be exceptionally light overall, suddenly moved and advanced.

Cypher immediately maneuvered it to retreat to the side and rear - the opposite machine suddenly drove over from between the two buildings, and the heavy tank legs seemed to emit a roar.

Both arms hold diffuse energy wave launchers and handheld howitzers, and shoulders are mounted with split warhead rocket pods. The main feature is a full load of explosives!

Perhaps because he'd been beaten by Cypher before, he didn't move at first, probably just looking and observing. After confirming that this machine that had inexplicably appeared in his territory was an unfamiliar model, he became bolder.

There aren't even any weapons, this is going to be quite a show... huh?

It is well known that the tank chassis is too thick and heavy, so it is very suitable for siege operations. Its strong structure and thick armor enable it to withstand most attacks, but someone may not have told this person.

Tank chassis, very heavy.

In urban combat, with regular and complex terrain, a tank would consume a lot of engine propulsion energy just to take off, so it could only advance and run wildly on the ground.

The one that Sefer is currently using is different. It is light enough and even lighter because it does not carry any weapons. Its reverse foot can even provide a charged jump that does not require propulsion energy.

The light and fast body shuttled between various houses in the city as if flying.

Every now and then, Cypher would suddenly say, "Press the other pedal."

In response, Miss Nana quickly stepped on the pedals according to the instructions. The image in front of her eyes suddenly flashed as if accelerating, making her shout out with some joy.

"What is this? I flashed from there to here in an instant!"

"Quickly dodge and then stop suddenly to avoid enemy fire... Look, just jump, and those tracking rockets will instantly lose their accuracy." Countless tiny rockets lost their accuracy and exploded behind the machine. What Seifer didn't elaborate on was that the timing of his jump was very accurate. If he jumped faster, the opponent would correct the trajectory, but if he jumped slower, he would directly hit it.

I've allowed some margin. After all, although Miss Nana doesn't seem to be very good at driving this thing, she is very quick in following orders.

"Hehe, I'm not trying to brag, but being able to follow instructions is a basic requirement... But, this only allows you to avoid the opponent. Are you waiting for others to help?"

Of course not. Seifer silently adjusted his posture, and at the moment when the opponent had used up all the ammunition in his hands and started to replace it, he aimed at the guy diagonally from top to bottom and sprinted!
The image suddenly became blurry and rapid. Nana-san let out a cry of "Wow!" and the image in front of her eyes collided violently with the tank-legged machine.

The entire simulation chamber shook a few times, and Cypher was concentrating... or not completely concentrating, as he squatted beside her. The machine directly crashed into her, kicked her in the back with a reverse joint, and then punched her.

There's a little damage, just enough to knock the armor plating off a bit. The full insult is like spitting takeout right in the other person's face.

After throwing a punch, he immediately broke away, and his speed was so fast that he could even shake off the opponent's locked turn.

The mercenary's body fire control has two types: fully automatic calculation of various parameters and pure manual locking. Seifer has always been accustomed to manual locking. After all, his reaction speed and the various configurations brought by threat scanning are far higher than these body fire control systems.

I've gone off topic. Anyway, the simulation cabin started shaking back and forth, and the two of them were swaying back and forth - this made Shengnai suffer.

The increased support meant that the restraint on her was also slightly increased. This feeling of passive acceptance made her both worried and happy... happy because she and Sefer were so close together.

The worry is that if he accidentally makes a sound, someone might hear something inappropriate, which would be detrimental to Sefer's reputation!
So I pursed my lips tightly, afraid that I would accidentally make a sound - but I was almost at my limit.

Regarding this, Sefer's attention was focused on the battle and he couldn't take care of it for the time being.

From the perspective of the students in the college city, these past two days have been really exciting. Last night they watched cannons bombing the campus, and today they can see the exciting showdown between the machines in the city!
Students continue to gather at the edge of the battle. Seifer might pay some attention to it, but his opponent will show no mercy!

As the rockets scattered, many unlucky people were blown up. In the chaotic scene, Seifer rushed forward again, kicked the opponent, and punched him when he staggered.

The damage was still very low, but what the opponent didn't realize was that with every punch, those parts of his body that were easily judged to be damaged... would pass various judgments.

"You weirdo, I'm the only one in this academy who can control a machine like this. Who are you?"

He couldn't hold it in and spoke, but Cypher coldly turned on the voice chat: "Relying on your tank chassis? Learn the basic operating logic and think about what your body is."

"You're weak at charging, slow at jumping, ineffective at attacking, and rely on armor for defense. You can't even fire a gun. What's the point of talking about operations?"

The series of words made the man extremely angry. He opened fire at full force but found out awkwardly... his ammunition was instantly used up and he needed time to reload!
During this reloading interval, Seifer had already jumped from behind the cover. The jumping force brought by his left foot and the subsequent light propulsion allowed him to hit the target again!
At this moment, alarms on the machine began to sound one after another, and the other party finally realized that some people could crush them even without weapons.

"Sigh... can we reconcile?"

Someone who didn't want to be electrocuted shouted this, but what responded to him was a string of cute and familiar laughter that seemed to have been heard from somewhere.

And a cold word.

"Now? At this time? Are you kidding me?"
