Ye Hongmian was very efficient and used her personal connections. The next morning, Ning Shi received a silver box.
“Ning, the Skynet Terminal has a smart assistant. I won’t teach you how to use it. I still have classes in the morning.”
Ye Hongmian handed the Skynet Terminal to Ning Shi and left.
Ning Shi closed the door and opened the box. He found a pair of glasses in the box. The frame of the glasses was thick. The frame was black and the lines were thick. The lenses were colored and would change color from time to time.
The glasses gave off a very heavy feeling.
Ning Shi picked up the glasses. It was surprisingly light and he turned on the switch on the glasses.
The green light on the lens flickered, and the voice of the smart assistant sounded.
“The Skynet Terminal’s smart assistant, Little Tiger, is at your service. This terminal number is 000310382001883283. This terminal is applied for by a Level 4 citizen of the First Star Field’s origin planet, Ning Shi. It has been bound to Ning Shi’s Star Field identity information. Others cannot use it. Please put on the terminal to verify your identity, Mr. Ning Shi…”
Ning Shi put on his glasses and verified his identity according to the instructions of the smart assistant. He gradually became familiar with the various operations of the Skynet Terminal.
He realized that the Skynet Terminal was much more advanced than the smart wristwatch and had more functions.
When using the Skynet Terminal to log into the network, one could adopt a first-person perspective immersive experience and enter the virtual network world.
In this way, the inside of Skynet was simply an entire virtual world. The various feelings were much more exciting than the real world.
Moreover, the Skynet Terminal could also change its form. There was a total of five forms: gloves, watches, glasses, hats, and headbands to meet the needs of different people.
After Ning Shi familiarized himself with the functions of the Skynet Terminal, he directly chose the first-person perspective mode and entered the Mecha Battle Network module.
“Little Tiger, introduce me to the various simulation games on the Mecha Battle Network.”
“Roger that, Master. The Mecha Battle Network has a total of 111 mecha simulation games. Among them are 37 comprehensive combat games, 22 racing games, 17 role-playing games, 14 business modification games, 9 shooting games, 5 combat games, and 7 other games.
“Which type of game do you want to choose?”
“I want to improve my mecha combat skills,” said Ning Shi. “I’ll choose the comprehensive combat type first.”
Little Tiger’s electronic voice said, “The two most popular games in the comprehensive combat category are Real Sword, Real Gun and Watch My Move. The former focuses on reality and contains the real parameters of more than 1000 types of the most popular mechas. The pilot can experience the same piloting feedback as in real life, which is very helpful in improving the piloting skills in real life. It has been included as an essential part of military training by many star field forces. The latter is based on real-life data, allowing players to use the imagination of outer space to create all kinds of mecha unique skills. Even though the game is too exaggerated and many moves can’t be achieved in real life, it is still very enlightening for many mecha masters. They love it very much. The most powerful creators in the mecha master community especially like this game. Many creators were inspired by the game and developed new mechas and ultimate moves.
“Master, your mecha piloting record is blank. Please complete your personal information as soon as possible and please add information related to the mecha master profession. Only then can I recommend a suitable game for you and increase your strength faster, Master.
“If you’re worried about the information being leaked, you can turn on the privacy mode. After the privacy mode is turned on, no one can view your information unless the Queen Mother Mecha gives permission.”
Ning Shi belonged to the First Star Field. If he did not activate the privacy mode, his personal information and activity data on Skynet would be uploaded to the Skynet database of the First Star Field.
If privacy mode was activated, his personal information would be hidden, and his activity data would not be recorded and would be erased.
Although this protected personal privacy, historical records would also be deleted, including personal chat records and battle data on Skynet, which would cause some inconvenience.
Therefore, most people would not turn on their privacy mode. For ordinary people, even if their information was leaked, it was not a big deal because their information was not worth paying attention to.
However, Ning Shi didn’t think so. He immediately turned on his privacy mode, and then truthfully filled in the type and level of meditation technique, mecha piloting experience, and other information on his personal information.
After filling it in, Little Tiger immediately said, “Detected that your mecha combat experience is zero, and mecha piloting experience is very little. If you directly enter a comprehensive combat game, the experience will be very bad, and it will greatly dampen your enthusiasm, master.
“I suggest that you play the two games, Speed is King or Top Speed, and practice the speed and dodging of the mecha first. Then, you can play Truth Cannon and Combat King to familiarize yourself with the mecha’s attack techniques. Then, you can try to enter Real Sword, Real Gun to practice in real combat.’
Ning Shi followed its advice. He came to a big screen and clicked on the icon of Speed is King.
‘Would you like to log in as Speed is King? It will bring you to experience extraordinary speed!”
Ning Shi clicked Yes, and everything in front of him disappeared. He sat in the cockpit of a Lightshadow Mecha. He flew forward quickly in space. After passing through one planet after another, he entered a reddish-black planet from top to bottom and landed inside a huge building.
Ning Shi walked out of the mecha and saw a dozen mechas that were tens of meters to hundreds of meters tall, arranged in the building.
A bearded uncle stood under the mecha and said loudly to Ning Shi, “Welcome, dear player Ning Shi. I am a mecha rental merchant, Gast.
“In a world where Speed is King, your only mission was to use all means possible to drive the mecha across the finish line at the fastest speed possible.
“Based on your current meditation technique level, I recommend you to use an intermediate mecha. The mecha behind me are all intermediate mecha models that are famous for their speed.
“You can use your star field points to rent these mechas from me to complete the racing competition. The champion of each racing competition will be rewarded with star field points.
“Come on, young man, charge forward!”
Ning Shi browsed through it and found that renting an ordinary intermediate mecha required 50 star field points. If he wanted to install a special acceleration device, he would need to add another 50 star field points.
Every competition had 20 participants, and the champion would receive 500 star field points as a reward. Ning Shi could only sigh at the rules. The players might not lose out, but the game company would definitely make a profit.
Ning Shi looked at his account. There were 50,000 star field points in it. Ye Hongmian had transferred them to Ning Shi.
He first spent 50 star field points to choose a Pterosaur Mecha. He did not choose to install an acceleration device. He wanted to experience the situation of the race first.
After paying, Ning Shi sat in the cockpit of the mecha. The willpower field in his brain instantly covered the entire body of the Pterosaur.
Ning Shi controlled the Pterosaur Mecha as if it was his own arm. There was no sense of separation, but he was not very familiar with the movements.
After he had familiarized himself with the situation of the Pterosaur Mecha, he chose a simple straight-line racing map and clicked to start the ranking.
Three seconds later, he and the other 19 mecha masters were floating in space. There were no signs. There was only a red arrow in their line of sight.
The notification for the start of the match sounded.
“3, 2, 1! Go!’
Ning Shi ignited the helium core, and the wings of the Pterosaur Mecha began to flap continuously. The frequency of flapping its wings exceeded 1000 times per second!
The Pterosaur Mecha leaped forward quickly, as if it had teleported. But even so, Ning Shi’s mech was still ranked last.
In order to give chase, Ning Shi turned on all of the power units at the base of the wings of the Pterosaur Mecha. A blast of hot exhaust spewed out from the wings of the Pterosaur Mecha, and the mecha accelerated again.
However, Ning Shi’s mecha was not stable and flexible enough during high-speed flights. The Pterosaur’s wings were not in the best shape, and the frequency of its flapping was not even enough. It wasted too much energy during the power jet.
This caused Ning Shi’s Pterosaur Mecha to not fly fast enough. In addition, Ning Shi did not buy any acceleration devices. When he piloted his mecha into the target planet, the other 19 mechas had already completed the competition.
In Ning Shi’s first race, he had gotten the last place as expected..
