Revenge Shadow Rider had gained some popularity for a while. As soon as it went online, whether they knew it or not, everyone who knew of Revenge Shadow Rider decided to check out the livestream. It was said that this mystery player was particularly good at controlling Phantom Knight 0001. While some veteran players dismissed watching the Shadow Rider's past battles, most players were quite fond of Revenge Shadow Rider's engaging fights.
Charlotte hadn't done much preparation before the battles. She knew that the official commentary often centered around influential players, which typically happened in two situations: either the player was famous, or they had a large following. In a nation with such a large population, Revenge Shadow Rider's few tens of thousands of followers didn't seem significant.
But there was also a third possibility — Phantom Knight 0001's personal factors. A Mecha with only a 5% win rate often achieved consecutive victories, wasn't uncommon. However, the issue was that Revenge Shadow Rider always chose to fight in the Sky Ladder, which signified that its opponents' abilities were always evaluated comprehensively after each battle and then increased exponentially in the following ones, which was precisely Revenge Shadow Rider's situation.
As the official commentator, Charlotte had the right to personally recommend a player's battle into the official hot video station once during her signed contract. That meant, within these three years before her contract renewal, she could freely recommend a player to be on the hotspot video section. The Star Wars company would then make a final evaluation based on the popularity of the video. Those who recommend popular videos have a chance for promotion, while those who are not so lucky have to continue waiting for another three years.
Charlotte decided to utilize her only chance to prove herself and to prove Revenge Shadow Rider's worth. When she clicked on the recommendation options through her backend access, she didn't hesitate at all.
The staff members around her looked at her in a strange way, mumbling about how this newcomer was wasting her one and only chance. They knew that many self-proclaimed skilled players would pay high prices for a recommendation, yet Charlotte, not long after signing her contract, had made such a reckless move.
Revenge Shadow Rider had already entered the matchmaking stage. Through the homepage of the official website, it stood still, its stagnant image appearing in front of countless people.
Not seeing any overall evaluation for the Mecha left the netizens baffled. This situation could only occur if the player was a newbie with no losses. Clearly, nobody believed that the Mecha presented on the homepage was a newbie's, let alone believe what they saw.
Phantom Knight 0001? There must be some kind of joke involved for things to be abnormal like this. With curiosity piquing their interest, countless netizens clicked on the video.
As the matchmaking information kept changing, a player with a win rate of up to 93.27% suddenly appeared as Revenge Shadow Rider's opponent. The player's nickname was Dark Blade, and they were driving a Firmament Warrior Mecha. They had a prominent label on their Mecha that only the top ten thousand players on the server leaderboards enjoyed — a symbol of honor.
There was no doubt that Dark Blade's understanding of the Firmament Warrior had reached an unparalleled level. This was clearly a second-tier expert whose skills ranked at the apex of the Star Wars pyramid.
The two Mechas, one red and one white, stood opposite each other. The moment they appeared in front of the public, the sensational data immediately caught the viewers' great interest! Even before the commentary began, the players beneath were already excitedly discussing Revenge Shadow Rider's origins: who was this top player disguised?
The video views surged to over a hundred thousand in a short time, which was previously unthinkable. Charlotte, who had never experienced such a scene before, couldn't help getting flustered. She even started to hesitate, her voice lacking bravado: "He-Hello, everyone, I'm the commentator Charlotte, nice to meet you all. Please, please be kind."
"Damn, she's a commentator?"
"Haha, I think she's just a pretty face with a nice figure and no brains."
Charlotte's amateurish move was apparent, and her unprofessional greeting immediately brought a burst of laughter to the public channel...
She let out a long sigh of relief, looking just like a deflated ball, her heart pounding with anxiety.
The commentary had to continue. Fortunately, this was a regular program commentary, and people could not see Charlotte's discouraged expression. Instead, they turned their attention to the two players.
The two Mechas soon entered the map selection phase, and adhering to past habits, Revenge Shadow Rider directly canceled the options, leaving the map selection to Dark Blade.
Damn, in front of tens of thousands of viewers, since when has a Phantom Knight 0001 become so arrogant? The Firmament Warrior that Dark Blade was driving was a main Mecha model of the Weibang Federation, and there was no reason for him to lose. Yet he casually gave up the map choice. Regardless of the outcome, proper etiquette still had to be maintained.
Everyone was familiar with the setup of Phantom Knight 0001.
But people weren't so well-acquainted with the Firmament Warrior. According to the data, this Mecha was equipped with two 130mm shoulder-mounted cannons, an SE Potenti Active Interception System, a Red Sword thermal sensor in its chest cavity, which would ensure all heat sources had nowhere to hide. Its power source was a turbo pressure system, with compound armor for defense and a pulse propulsion acceleration.
Additionally, the Firmament Warrior was also equipped with a Death Ray laser sniper rifle as a long-range weapon, supplemented by a pair of Laser Swords for close combat.
Comparing the two, it was clear that Phantom Knight 0001 was a fighter Mecha. Besides having a slight advantage in the armor, it had no obvious edge. Of course, the comprehensive factors of the driver should also be considered. After all, even a piece of trash Mecha could show great value in the hands of an ace pilot.
Seeing the screen filled with constantly flying barrages, Charlotte directly turned off the barrage option. Although she was a newbie, she knew she couldn't get distracted in special situations like this. After briefly adjusting her emotions, she quickly moved into the full commentary stage: "Dear player friends, I suppose everyone is still rather unfamiliar with the two players. Please follow the small screen to review their past battle data..."
A small window suddenly popped up in the corner of the screen. It held the past battle data of Revenge Shadow Rider and Dark Blade. Comparing Dark Blade's staggering record of over ten thousand battles with Revenge Shadow Rider's mere three, it's pretty embarrassing. But every single one of Revenge Shadow Rider's battles brought a substantial victory, which was extremely thrilling to watch. Compared to Dark Blade's conventional playstyle, Revenge Shadow Rider indeed attracted more public attention.
As the battle countdown ended, Revenge Shadow Rider swiftly changed its posture. Clang! The alloy knife was instantly held in a reverse grip. Had Revenge Shadow Rider, which usually adopted a defensive position, felt the pressure from its opponent and thus drawn its alloy combat knife first?
At the same time, Firmament Warrior's hands flashed with pink light, and two Laser Swords abruptly appeared.
