Chapter 110 The First Step of the Mecha Journey_1

Facing Logic's sentimentality, Shi Qiang didn't pay much attention, as he was fully immersed in the joy of acquiring a perfect mech.

He could pilot this behemoth!

To fight his opponents, to engage in a vigorous and close-quarters battle was simply wonderful for him!

As for humanity?

None of his business!

He was always like this about power, never caring, doing the right thing, and not doing the wrong thing.

It was also because of his lousy temper.

That despite having been on the battlefield and shed blood, Shi Qiang, after so many years, was still just a police officer, and had even been complained about so much that he almost couldn't be a cop anymore.

Shi Qiang sighed, "Although it's virtual reality, that thing's a bit fake, um, okay, whatever you say..."

He had wanted to complain about the falseness of virtual reality, not as comfortable as the real deal.

But then he thought about the last time he accompanied Logic to investigate the mysteries of the Three-Body, entering their game, encountering an illusion just like reality, truly indistinguishable from the fake.

He even almost felt like he had died in there, literally frozen to death inside.

So.

Shi Qiang swallowed his doubts and eagerly rubbed his hands together, saying to Logic straightforwardly, "Alright! I'll listen to you!"

He also played a little trick, a sly smile on his honest face, "Logic, I'm your most loyal hardcore fan, aren't you going to take good care of me?"

You?

My hardcore fan?

More like a hater!

Logic rolled his eyes; he really couldn't imagine Shi Qiang holding a fan light, crazily shouting behind him, "Logic oppa! So handsome! I want to have your monkeys!"

Just thinking about that image...

Yikes!

Logic's face turned dark for a moment, "Just say what you want to do! Quit beating around the bush like a woman!"

"Hehe, actually my request isn't that high—" Shi Qiang gestured with his fingers, raising two, "How about arranging two opponents for me later?"

He wasn't boasting.

He was once elite military.

Even though he had retired, his skills remained.

Not to say he could take down ten people like Master Ye, but Shi Qiang thought bullying a few unintelligent game characters would be—what did his son call it?

N...N...NBBC!

Way stronger than that!

Ha! NBC! Taste my military boxing, Grandpa Shi!

Logic had a devilish look in his eyes as he earnestly advised, "One is enough, you really can't beat them..."

"No way, I'm sure I can, at least two!"

Shi Qiang was incredibly insistent.

He had no realization of just how gigantic the monsters of the Pacific Rim were.

Perhaps when he piloted the Great Sage and stood before the other side, they wouldn't even be as high as their knees.

Truly, jumping up to punch their belly!

Logic, imagining that ridiculous scene, couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud, but he still fixed his gaze.

"Let's get started then!"

Brilliant light radiated from Logic's body, instantly blinding everyone present; Wang Miao and Ding Yi closed their eyes, not knowing that Shi Qiang and the Great Sage had already disappeared before them.

Shi Qiang felt dizzy until his mind seemed to be infused with a bunch of knowledge—the so-called game background—and he slowly made out his surroundings.

Right now, the Great Sage was not by his side.

He found himself in a dark alley, first observing his surroundings out of habitual caution to ensure safety, then closing his eyes tightly, feeling the introduction to this world in his mind.

Oh, right.

Going by what his son said.

It's the world background of the game!

"Suddenly, one peaceful day, Earth was faced with a crisis, terrifying monsters descended upon the planet..."

"Humanity gathered the strength of various nations, created massive Battle Armors, and contended with those monsters..."

"Because the mecha were so colossal and designed for combat, the requirements for the pilots were exceptionally high..."

"There were only a few individuals in the entire world capable of piloting the mecha..."

"Humans revered these mecha pilots as deities, but as the appearances of the monsters ceased, humans gradually forgot the terror of the monsters, even contemplating the construction of defense walls to deter them, and the mecha pilots descended from their divine pedestals..."

"Humans! They did not appreciate them!"

Shi Qiang fell silent as he regarded these game backgrounds. To the average person, this would certainly make humanity seem foolish, brainless, ranting for a bit before dropping the topic.

But he was engrossed.

Because this was too similar to the Tri-Solar World!

The Three-Body represented the terrifying monsters that could invade at any moment.

The Wallfacers were like the mecha pilots stopping those monsters.

Humanity did not appreciate the mecha pilots.

So, would humanity appreciate the Wallfacers, appreciate Logic?

Shi Qiang felt a shock in his heart and a particularly bitter discomfort because such a thing could very likely happen for real.

Humans are a species of social creatures that live in groups.

They like to deify!

But they prefer even more to destroy their deities!

"Logic ah..."

Shi Qiang harbored a trace of wishful expectation in his heart, hoping perhaps Earth's humanity was not as foolish as he imagined.

He stepped out of the alley, and beneath his feet, he could see directional markers invisible to ordinary people.

It seemed to guide him.

Guiding him to a certain location!

There was also a countdown above.

"Monster arrival point countdown: 13:59:00..."

"As a righteous mecha pilot, eliminate the imminent monsters, minimize human casualties from the monster onslaught; this is not a drill!"

The monsters would reach the battlefield in fourteen minutes?

Shi Qiang scratched his head, glanced at the last hint, and muttered to himself, Logic was indeed cautious—this was not a drill... Were they supposed to take this seriously?

He was too earnest!

Shi Qiang walked towards his destination, not even needing to look up; from a distance, he could see Earth's vast, majestic, great engineering feat.

A structure encircling the Pacific Ocean, cast in steel and concrete, almost the pinnacle of humanity's current industrial achievement.

Immense beyond compare.

Blotting out the sun.

Considered the world's number one marvel!

This was a wall encircling the coastline, tens of meters high, with a thickness rivaling the Three Gorges Dam, even capable of withstanding nuclear blasts.

To monsters that couldn't fly, it was undoubtedly the most apt defensive measure.

As Shi Qiang looked on, he suddenly heard a passerby boasting, "Constructing the Great Wall to defend against monsters is a plaything discarded by our ancestors; our ancestors' wisdom still prevails, even if those monsters grew two more brains they couldn't catch up!"

The tone was filled with smug pride.

Shi Qiang heard it.

But he held no contrary opinion, in fact, feeling a slight sense of agreement.

Merely wild beasts after all.

Just a bit taller.

Compared with humanity.

They were utterly stupid!
