Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 75 The Never Faded Youth_1


Swarms of diverse discussions soon provoked rebuttals from the student factions. Why should it be impossible for the person to be a student? What's wrong with students? After all, countless Red Cloak elites have graduated from Mecha academies. It is not good to denigrate something just because you can't reach it.

Tonight was destined to be anything but quiet. In no time, Revenge Shadow Rider topped the trending topics online, its sudden emergence even attracting the attention of the military.

However, these are minor matters that the military wouldn't bother too much about. After all, Ophelia hasn't become a true Red Cloak yet, she is too young. If the Revenge Shadow Rider were over 40 and a veteran of battles, then the capsizing of Ophelia's ship would be quite explainable. She may surpass the other in agility or even outright strength, but that does not mean she can easily defeat an old soldier. Experience isn't something a green girl can toy with.

This is Yingland's straightforward evaluation of Revenge Shadow Rider. Perhaps it had something to do with the reputation of the school, but that was not the main point.

But it didn't matter. The audience would look for the root cause from objective factors. If Revenge Shadow Rider pulled off a surprise victory once, it could be considered a fluke. Twice might still be accepted. But if it constantly displayed refreshing miracles in one battle after another, could that still be called luck?

Obviously, Yingland was just seeking an excuse. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Shadow Rider players. The Phantom Knight 0001 forum was on fire after the battle, with fans dissecting every frame of Shadow Rider's battle and sharing various interpretations. Especially the final slash, some called it Shadow Rider's strongest move, others said it was just a casual blow. In the end, countless netizens discussed the hundreds of details in the Flame Dual Slash.

Feng Yi, who had just logged off and was planning to watch the replay, found himself amidst a flurry of public opinions. The imaginative theories of netizens were laughable and bemusing. In fact, that profound state Feng Yi entered in the fleeting moment was something he himself found difficult to explain.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was still rejoicing over her newfound joy. She had just received a call from Star Wars' higher-ups. The Heavenly Communication was personally made by the Public Relations Manager, Hans. Alongside came an electronic contract to revise her position to an Advanced Commentator. Hans was extremely friendly, offering her very generous working conditions after her promotion. He suggested there was plenty of room for further negotiation if she was dissatisfied.

Charlotte didn't think too deeply. This was the greatest recognition she could receive from the branch office. After a quick scan of the contract terms, she swiftly signed it.

In a certain office of Star Wars branch headquarter skyscraper, a bald man was puffing on a cigar…

As manager of the Public Relations department of Star Wars, Hans was also a huge fan of Phantom Knight 0001. But his workload didn't leave him any time to watch player battles. In truth, Hans' airspace control rights weren't as significant as they sounded. Every branch of Star Wars had a piece of its own to manage. Not to mention a single department manager?

This was the third month since Hans took the helm. The videos of Revenge Shadow Rider had made the bald man reminisce about the passionate days of his youth. Back then, he dreamt of joining the army and often engaged in discussions about the Shadow Riders with his online friends.

Time wore down his fiery spirit, the relentless march of years dulled his edges. Compelled by the survival instinct, he was forced to be on the move. Each day, he hid behind a mask of polite smiles, gradually shelving his youthful dreams to make room for marriage and the ensuing routines.

Although his passion had been watered down, Hans' fondness for Shadow Rider remained intact. Anyone would remember its robust body, sturdy armor, and handsome design. At least, being a sucker for aesthetic design, Hans had a series of Phantom Knight 0001 models displayed at home.

Everyone has a youthful past. Fondly recalling the days of Phantom Knight 0001, his friends would often respond with playful banters. Phantom Knight was pathetic, with its mediocre performance and lack of outstanding qualities. Maybe this was his most poignant regret?

Seeing battle after battle of Revenge Shadow Rider brought back a sudden jolt in Hans' slumbering heart. That feeling was like a lost possession reappearing in a distant new land. Hans was sure that the success of Phantom Knight 0001 completely depends on the one who drives it. The flame of youth was still burning brightly…

Hans took a big draw of his cigar and stubbed it out. This was an opportunity for promotion, and the perfect shortcut to his dream. A player like Revenge Shadow Rider was simply unprecedented. He was thinking, would it be possible for him to utilize all his power and rights, and prepare thoroughly for Revenge Shadow Rider's next fight?

After a moment, Hans slapped the desk forcefully. Screw it. It was almost unbearable to be in this position anyway. Rather than putting up with the constant reprimanding from the uptight subordinates and pretending to be nice, he'd rather risk it for a promotion or get fired from the company.

Hans was a man of action, determined to follow through on his thoughts. With his influence, he could assemble up to four commentators and broadcast announcements across the local star region. If this became a huge hit, then… Unfortunately, Revenge Shadow Rider was quick to leave, and Hans could only send an announcement to the Rider via a system email, hoping for an early response.

Unfortunately, Feng Yi was not going to receive that information anytime soon, The success may have come too abruptly, but he understood the need to process. Having watched the replay once, he dismissed the two opponents and concluded that the fight was not worth learning from.

Actually, the reason he hadn't made the first move was simple: he was observing the details of the opponent's battle to learn from their experiences. Good or bad, they were all welcome. Indeed, it was this open-minded approach that led him to his current status.

He found that Yingland's and Ophelia's Phantom Kill was only skin deep, and lacking real substance. Otherwise, he might not have had the chance to use that so-called Flame Dual Slash. Is that what the netizens are calling it? It had a nice name. Truth be told, Sir Feng also had a taste for trending topics. As for fighting against Black Blade, the impulsive attack was simply the result of itching for action. Turns out, the so-called second-line top player was nothing more than that.

Forget it. Overthinking won't help. Better to rest early…

Time passed quickly, a new day dawned, and the rising sun was gradually revealing its brilliance. Walking on the narrow walkway in the school area, Feng Yi found himself in high spirits. His good looks ranked in the top ten on campus, and his walk was bound to draw stares from quite a few girls.

But that was not the point. The point was that the sudden appearance of Black Ghost was a real eyesore for the passing female students.

Feng Yi chose to ignore him when he saw it was Elvis, only for the guy to slap him on the shoulder, causing him to stagger, "Bro, do you know? Last night at Star Wars, there was an amazing turnaround, Flame Dual Slash, Revenge Shadow Rider instantly killed the Mecha genius of Yingland."

"I heard something about it. Rather than focusing on that, you should be considering the upcoming consolidated training." Feng Yi shrugged, not knowing how to respond to Elvis's unexpected greeting.
