Yun Xingze was stunned for a long time.

What drew his attention back was a PK request from “Then I will protect you”.

Yun Xingze did not agree immediately, and sent a line of text in the chat box.

[I’m so weak]: “Senior, why did you change your ID?”

After asking this question, Yun Xingze’s heartbeat began to speed up inexplicably.

He didn’t know why he felt some kind of mysterious tension at this moment.

[Then I will protect you]: “Didn’t you say you are weak?”

Yun Xingze swallowed and stared at the screen closely, trying to figure out what Luo Wenchuan meant.

The next second, another message popped up on the screen.

[Then I will protect you]: “I have to protect my little mechanic.”

When Yun Xingze saw the message, he was stunned.
The nervousness dissipated, and there was even a trace of…

Trace of loss?

Yun Xingze felt that his brain might be broken.

For a second, he almost believed what Xi Bolai said.
Luo Wenchuan was doing this for…

[I’m so weak]: “Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood?”

[Then I’ll protect you]: “What misunderstanding?”

Seeing the two IDs appear on the screen at the same time, Yun Xingze felt there was an inexplicable sense of harmony.
The heart that hadn’t calmed down began to speed up again.

He shook his head and told himself that he was overthinking.

[I’m so weak]: “Nothing, PK.”

After a while, the other party replied with the word “en” and sent a PK request.

After Yun Xingze agreed, the public screen showed the announcement of the upcoming PK between the two parties.

[The player “I’m so weak” agreed to the PK invitation of the player “Then I will protect you”.] The IDs of the two quickly aroused countless discussions.

“No, it can’t be?? “L” changed his name for love?!”

“My god, shouldn’t “L” hate that “I’m so weak”? After all, his character is so poor!”

“I think these two people are a bit tricky.
“L” doesn’t like PK-ing, “I’m so weak” runs away after fighting, but these two PK so many times!”

“Is it possible that these two are in love and want to kill each other?

“After fighting, they rolled together?”

“Upstairs, wake up.
This is a game, it is impossible to roll together.”

“Maybe they are playing games in the same room?”

“Hahahahahahaha, what’s upstairs talking about.
That’s simply absurd!”

Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan didn’t know that random people were already blindly guessing about their relationship.

After entering the PK match, Yun Xingze chose a double star mecha, while Luo Wenchuan used a lightsaber mecha.

When the PK started, Yun Xingze put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
The feeling of wanting to win Luo Wenchuan came back to the forefront of his mind again.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them were fighting so hard, it was hard to separate them.

Yun Xingze’s room was very quiet, but inside the game, was full of swordplay and weapons.

With every move, neither side gave the other a chance.

Yun Xingze’s adrenaline soared.
Every cell of his was immersed in the game, as his eyes closely followed the lightsaber mecha.

At this moment, he seemed to understand a little bit of what the state of human-machine integration is about.

It’s not that humans are controlling the mecha, but – the human is the mecha itself.

The content seen through the glass became the real scenery surrounding oneself.
Each vibration and hum of the lightsaber was truly transmitted into one’s mind.

Thirty minutes passed quickly, and no clear winner was determined.

After the system compared the damage of the mecha, it determined that Yun Xingze won by a slight margin.

The gap this time is much smaller than last time.
Their performance is more or less comparable.

Yun Xingze was also a little surprised at how quick Luo Wenchuan progressed.
It was a terrible speed for someone who was already a master.

After exiting the game cabin, Yun Xingze sat slumped on the sofa, with a bit of unfinished business in his tired eyes.

This is the case every time he PK-ed with Luo Wenchuan.
He is determined to defeat his opponent when fighting, and feels very addicted after the fight.

Luo Wenchuan was already waiting for him outside.
Handing him a glass of water, he looked at him earnestly and asked, “How do you feel?”

“I seem to be able to feel that feeling,” Yun Xingze drank several mouthfuls, and then wiped the corner of his lower lip.
“When I really want to win, I strongly hoped to use the power of the mecha to defeat you, and the neurons become more deeply integrated with the connector…”

Luo Wenchuan was stunned for a while.
He didn’t expect that Yun Xingze could tell the true meaning of human-machine integration after just being exposed to it once.

Desperate for a mecha’s power, one’s neurons will become highly integrated with the mecha connector.

This is human-machine integration.

That’s why Richard said that Yun Xingze must have the will to win.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t fully enter that state just now.” Yun Xingze sighed and looked at the game cabin on the side with complicated eyes.
“Perhaps, it’s because I’ve been in a simulation for too long, and am already used to this fighting style…”

“It’s been a long time?” Luo Wenchuan looked at him in confusion.
“Isn’t your account quite new?”

“Ah, I played before.” Yun Xingze said casually.
“This account is newly created.”

He couldn’t say that he played hundreds of virtual mecha games in his previous life, right?

“Don’t worry too much if you can’t find that state.” Luo Wenchuan said to Yun Xingze.
“Perhaps the fighting style you currently use suits you better.”

Yun Xingze was very calm in battle.
He will carefully analyze the opponent’s strength and mecha data detail by detail, and try different moves in battle.

In the eyes of some, he is a genius.

But it is also possible that he is destined to be unable to enter the state of “human-machine integration”.

Yun Xingze no longer forced himself to find this state.
He nodded to Luo Wenchuan and raised his lips.
“Thank you for helping me.”

Suddenly, he remembered Luo Wenchuan’s new game ID.
Scratching his head, he asked with an unnatural expression: “That game ID, isn’t it too conspicuous this way?”

“What’s so conspicuous?” Luo Wenchuan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of water in his hand.
Looking up, he said with a happy expression, “You are only eighth in the rankings.
It’ll only be conspicuous if you’re next to me.”

Next to him, Yun Xingze looked over dully.
After a while, he said in a rather uneasy way: “This… this isn’t too good?”

Forget about using paired IDs, if they ranked first and second in the rankings…

Luo Wenchuan looked at him and raised his eyebrows: “Or would I fall to seventh?”

“Ah?” Yun Xingze looked at him in surprise.
“You have so many points, how long will it take you to drop to seventh?”

“That’s true.” Luo Wenchuan looked at him.
“So, it’s more reliable for you to rise up.”

After speaking, Luo Wenchuan got up and left.
Yun Xingze stared blankly at his departing back.

Is this guy serious?

“If you’re too lazy to fight,” Luo Wenchuan looked back at him and raised the corners of his lips.
“I can power train you.”

Luo Wenchuan is very fast when PK-ing with his lightsaber mecha.
Unlike Yun Xingze who likes to study different moves, his own moves are textbook moves that countless people can learn.

A lot of times, he can tell the winner within a minute.

“Ah… it’s not impossible?” Yun Xingze actually agreed to Luo Wenchuan’s request.

After Luo Wenchuan left, Yun Xingze collapsed on the sofa again, staring at the ceiling.

After a long while, he frowned and muttered: “How could Luo Wenchuan be so childish?”

Thinking about it more, he felt something was wrong.
Sitting up, he muttered to himself with a gloomy face, “Then why should I agree to his childish request?”

After thinking for a long time and unable to come up with an answer, Yun Xingze lay down again and sighed.
“Forget it, let’s just do what the boss says.”

Before he knew it, he completed a sit-up.

However, something more important soon took over Yun Xingze’s mind.

Since he couldn’t enter the state of “human-machine integration” for a while, and St.
Klito wanted to win, it was difficult to say whether the opponent he matched would be highly integrated with the mecha.

If that’s the case…

His fight would be much more difficult.

Thinking of this, Yun Xingze began to think about how to defeat those St.
Klito players.

 

LWC… LWC… that ID…
