Chapter 207: Chapter 207
James sat there dumbfounded with the other world leaders, his face pale. He wished he could go back and beat up Congress for three days straight!
Goddamn, you guys didn’t tell me this would be such a big surprise before I came!!!
Clearly, all my life I’ve been taught that this place is very backward!!!
But why is it that while our Iron Man is still just in movies, here they’ve already put it on display?!
Are they hiding more powerful forces?!
Just as James was going berserk.
Twitter had exploded.
Ling Jiao only uploaded the video of the mecha’s appearance, and in less than two minutes, it already experienced an influx of crazy clicks.
The time was so short that it made her doubt if people really clicked to watch it?
However, looking at the comments.
The comment section had also exploded.
[What is this? Iron Man?]
[What is our country trying to do? Spend taxpayers’ money just to embarrass us? The money flows out and makes us a laughingstock while our tech capability is left far behind.] The rightful source is novelꜰire.net
[I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! Isn’t Zheng Country very backward? Why do they have such mechanical armor?]
[This must be a holographic fake, right?]
[What’s Zheng Country doing by showcasing such a powerful force?]
Ling Jiao couldn’t be bothered to browse the comments. She squeezed Yu Lian’s hand as they both anxiously stared at the live broadcast, wishing they could squeeze themselves into the screen to touch the legendary mecha up close!
——Is this the mecha from our dreams?!
Just having received the cue card, the host could hardly conceal his excitement, trying hard to suppress his crazy emotions and stabilizing his voice as he introduced:
"Now entering is our country’s latest mechanical armor [Wind God], along with its leading mecha squad. We will now present to you a comprehensive display of our newest national defense capabilities—"
As soon as the words fell, the leading mecha [Wind God] suddenly spread out its massive red palm, a spot of eerie blue light slowly gathering in its palm, aiming directly at a platform nearby.
The audience on the platform instantly turned pale.
Accompanied by the rapid launch of a small blue light, before anyone could react, a small blue sphere dropped to the ground, immediately forming a gigantic blue barrier on the plaza, enclosing the entire area and all the mechas within.
The battle-hardened host almost ran out of breath. He had just regained his breathing rhythm when he got a new cue card, finally understanding why he had such a last-minute task.
If he knew about such a divine creation in advance, he truly might not have maintained his earlier stable performance levels!
"To showcase the mecha and to ensure everyone’s safety, the mecha [Wind God] will activate the energy shield, and the remaining mechas will display their combat defense abilities within. First, is the single combat match—between mecha [Fei Lian] and [Ju Bi]..."
At the same time, an online voting feature suddenly opened up in the live broadcast—
[Which mecha is your favorite?]
Are you kidding us? How can adults make choices?! Why isn’t there an option to select all?!!
With a height of 15 meters, it’s already equivalent to a building.
And when two buildings collide, using hand-to-hand combat techniques in opposition, the audience on the nearby observation deck would probably have heart attacks.
Usually, when 3D movie special effects are well done, they instinctively dodge when they see something thrown at them.
But now, with the light blue energy shield right in front, and during the mecha combat, fists as big as tanks hit right in front of them...
If they hadn’t gone through a health screening prior to entry, at least half of them would’ve fainted.
——Too thrilling, too spectacular, too proud!
Meanwhile, standing handsomely at the side maintaining the energy field, inside [Wind God’s] cockpit, Chu River furiously called Chang Geng—
[Why did you trick me again!!!]
[Didn’t we agree that I would lead the fight?]
[Why are they fighting while I’m just watching—those weaklings! Fei Lian, didn’t you eat? For god’s sake, use your legs harder! The shield won’t break!]
In the public channel, Fei Lian complained:
[Captain, you didn’t say today would go straight to a military parade! I thought it would still be a holographic simulation...]
Without thinking, Chu River replied: "Nonsense, it’s because you didn’t listen!"
Frustrated, it threw a tank-sized punch at the opponent.
Ju Bi on the opposing side: ...Damn.
Chang Geng: ...Steady.
——It’s just coaxing kids, who hasn’t told a few lies.
When all close-combat ended, 15 brightly red mechas occupied the entire plaza, with the light blue energy field covering all sides, until all the spectators finished watching their final "unremarkable" military boxing performance, the mechas finally flew back into the sky, silently exiting the scene...
