Small characters flashed across the public channel as the raging Charge Ahead spat out, "Trash, I want you to apologize immediately."

Of course, even if an apology was offered, Charge Ahead wouldn't forgive Jiu Ling. Even though he knew an apology would be useless, Charge Ahead still demanded one from Jiu Ling. At this moment, his hands were furiously tapping on a calculator… His average typing speed had already risen from 90 to 130 characters per minute. What did 130 characters per minute represent? It was the standard speed of a solid player. If he could apply such speed in battle, it's believed his strength would multiply, and reaching the level of Red Cloak was very possible.

And as a keyboard warrior, Charge Ahead's instant speed even among keyboard warriors surely placed him among the best. As the saying goes, "Gentlemen talk but don't act, villains act but don't talk." Regardless of anything else, at this moment, Charge Ahead truly had the air of a man about him.

Who would have guessed Jiu Ling would play dirty for once? Before the opponent could send out their string of numbers, the battle was already declared over.

Charge Ahead, feeling hot-headed, immediately deleted all the pre-battle declarations he had written out. It was really just three sentences. The first was about his contempt for his opponent; he believed Jiu Ling had insulted him and so he issued a warning, declaring he would use even dirtier tactics to make his opponent regret being born into this world. He wanted her to learn why flowers were so red, to recognize how wrong that shot was, and even to regret ever learning how to use the internet.

Charge Ahead's second sentence was about the philosophy of life, a kind of soul-stirring message. After all, as a talented student, Charge Ahead had graduated from Kasjaska. Isn't there a saying that the more you read, the less likely you are to deceive others? Even though Charge Ahead's grades were slightly watered down, it didn't change the fact that he was a graduate of Kasjaska and perhaps he really wouldn't deceive others.

As for this so-called third sentence, it could be loosely described as "talk long enough, and more words wear the cloth." Even with 10,000 words, it would be hard to summarize clearly; in short, he wanted to launch a continuous suppressive attack from various angles on this pretty girl from Saudi. From a broader perspective, Charge Ahead's actions could also be seen as patriotic and indignant. Unfortunately, before he could finish typing out his third sentence, he was already dead and the battle was over.

All his words ultimately condensed into one question, "Bastard, why did you backstab me?" While speaking, notifications for friend requests kept flashing at the bottom of Jiu Ling's window.

Jiu Ling frowned and didn't say much, just casually accepted the friend request before logging out. It wasn't intentional; it's just that the other party had exposed such a huge flaw—almost like an exhibitionist—so, without much self-control, she just… It was like someone was only trying to scare you, but then you realize the other person is a fool who not only isn't afraid but even has a hint of "dare you to come and cross me."

She shook her head; low-level games really had all sorts of players. That's why she didn't like Galactic Warfare that much—it wasn't that the game itself was bad, but rather the inconsistent quality of its players…

Looking at the audience, a number of fans who had been attentively watching Jiu Ling actually walked away, clearly indicating that such a battle was not even entertaining to a novice.

The opponent for the second match appeared; ID: Jungle Ranger Flower Thief, with a record of 2501 wins and 410 losses, regular mech model: Phantom 2000.

Based on this person's record, he should be a decent player. His combat strength may have even reached the edge of High Rank pilots. However, his performance was inconsistent and affected by the overall battlefield environment, otherwise, his losses wouldn't exceed 100.

But if you saw the Phantom 2000, you wouldn't make that choice. As a concept model Mecha, the Phantom 2000's overall performance is no less than that of a super soldier. Its main weapon uses a 160mm steel projectile design, with missiles capable of single-barrel double emission and an exceptionally high initial velocity. The steel rounds can also cause blunt force trauma to heavy Mecha, effectively breaching their defenses, while its four secondary cannons allow for the possibility of multi-target strikes.

The most distinctive feature is the secondary Gatling Cannon designed for group output. Although this weapon has weaker attack power and lower penetration depth, its extremely high firing rate more than compensates for any shortcomings in penetration. Moreover, it is devastatingly destructive against flesh, capable of taking down ten people simultaneously.

Next is the secondary Fire Dragon cannon. As the saying goes, light armor depends on speed, heavy armor on defense, and anything in between relies on faith. Faith competes in what? The soul, consciousness, it's... anyway, if there's any weapon on the battlefield that can counter these three types of armor, it's undoubtedly the Fire Dragon. Even armor with a thickness of up to 1Kmm is no different from a mere display under the intense heat of the Fire Dragon.

Yes, it's not 188, not 288, nor 998. Within just 60 seconds, the pilot inside the Mecha's cockpit will experience heat similar to being in an oven, enduring temperatures up to 150 degrees. Having air conditioning installed is useless.

The third secondary cannon beneath the turret is even more frightening—the Needle Anti-armor Gun, known for its strategic significance in top-tier penetration, with an average penetration of up to 270mm. This is a penetration depth only the main cannon can achieve, almost on par with the Long 88 cannon, and its impressive rate of fire is almost 2 rounds per second.

If there is any secondary cannon in the world whose power exceeds that of the Needle Anti-armor Gun, it's deemed impossible, unless it's a super soldier. Yet, the Phantom 2000 can break all kinds of impossibilities into possibilities with an upgraded version called the Needle Anti-armor Gun - Modified, a built-in product of the war machine, akin to something born from its very own mother.

Although the two secondary cannons bear similar names, their effects are entirely different. If the Needle Anti-armor Gun genuinely fires 2 rounds per second, the Modified version fires only once every 2 seconds. Don't underestimate this slower rate. In combat, it's not only the opponent that fears that cannon but the Mecha itself. The Needle Anti-armor Gun - Modified is a concept ammunition type with fast initial speed, powerful impact, strong jetting, and fierce recoil. In simple terms, it's like a fart being expelled. You can imagine how explosive the blast would be when such great power is fired from a smaller caliber cannon. As a result, the Modified version often experiences barrel bursts, particularly during close-quarter combat when the Mecha's body sways significantly, causing air turbulence which can lead to misfires and barrel explosions. Such a chain reaction from an ammunition rack explosion is equivalent to a self-destruct of the Mecha, and sometimes the force is even greater. For the pilot's safety, the Phantom 2000 is also equipped with an ejection system within the ammunition rack. If the Needle Anti-armor Gun - Modified malfunctions upon firing and the internal pressure exceeds safe limits, the ejection system will be triggered, catapulting the pilot out in 0.03 seconds.

Because this self-destruction is sudden and unpredictable, neither the opponent nor even the Mecha itself can react in time. As a result, pilots facing off against the Phantom 2000 usually face three outcomes. The first is mutual destruction, with the Phantom 2000's pilot escaping and ascending to victory.

The second outcome is the Phantom 2000's pilot dying a tragic death during the escape, either burned by the blast wave, shredded by shrapnel, or due to the heart not withstanding the acceleration forces. The opponent, meanwhile, is severely injured by the blast but manages to survive by sheer luck.

The third outcome is the lucky one, with both sides surviving, but it's also the most unfortunate. The Phantom 2000's pilot luckily ejects unharmed, while the opponent is left barely alive. At this stage, the Phantom 2000's pilot can either climb onto the opposing Mecha to forcibly open the cockpit and eliminate the opponent or wait for the opponent to wake up and kill them. Aside from that, normal combat rarely leads to self-destruction for the Phantom 2000 model; such self-destruction tends to occur during close-quarter brawling.

Thus, there's that saying: When the fighting starts, not only does the opponent fear that cannon, but even its own Mecha fears it. As for who gets blown up, it truly belongs to the realm of metaphysics, dependent on luck—for life or death, it's all down to fate.

Even Jiu Ling tensed up and couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the Phantom 2000! When facing this guy, the best strategy is to attack from a distance. Heh, truth be told, throughout Galactic Warfare, she fears no opponent but dreads unexpectedly encountering a Mecha like this one. Not just her—if even the Revenge Shadow Rider ran into an accident, it would be killed just the same.
