Golden Eyes

Chapter 44

Cheng Anlang: "..."

Cheng Anlang ignored his words: "Are you allowing others to watch?"

The other side: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Anlang was silent for a few seconds: "Forget it."

It's the first time, so let's just hide away and have some fun by ourselves...

The other side: "Okay."

In ranked matches, the second modification slot can be hidden and revealed when needed. Cheng Anlang and the opponent both had their second modification slots hidden.

Cheng Anlang thought to himself, "I don't know what kind of modifications the other side has. I need to be more vigilant."

Cheng Dahua emerged from her sea of consciousness and landed in the passenger seat.

Cheng Anlang and the person opposite him clicked "Ready".

"Scene loading, please wait—"

The scene before my eyes slowly came into view—it was a desert!

"The match begins—"

As soon as the notification sound ended, the other party gave Cheng Anlang no chance to react, rushing straight towards him like an arrow amidst the flying sand!

Although the mech was moving very fast, it sank slightly into the sand with each step, reducing its speed by many times!

Cheng Anlang tensed up as soon as he saw someone rushing forward: "No! I can't get too close to him!"

He quickly pulled down the control stick, and the mech struggled backward through the turbulent airflow, kicking up huge boulders of sand. The sand and dust surged up in the gale, obscuring the vision of both sides.

Cheng Anlang: "This movement is way too slow!"

Suddenly, I heard a loud "boom" from the other side!

Something was launched, accompanied by a fierce wind, and it hurtled through layers of sand and soil as it flew through the air!

Cheng Anlang: "It's the second modification slot!"

Cheng Anlang couldn't see what was flying towards him at all. He originally wanted to maneuver his mecha to leap high into the air and try to avoid those strange things, but he was afraid that if the thing was tracking him, his mecha didn't have wings, and once he jumped, it would be difficult to change course if it was being tracked.

He could only keep retreating, looking for an opportunity amidst the flying sand.

The projectile launched from the opposite side surged towards them in the gale. Just when Cheng Anlang thought it would continue flying indefinitely, it suddenly seemed to lose its momentum and followed a parabolic trajectory with a series of booming sounds.

"It hit the shifting sand."

The sand was blasted into deep pits, and yellow sand flew up, only to be quickly covered by shifting sand!

It's not the second modification spot, it's its five fingers...

The mech's fingers can be filled with bombs, making them consumable weapons. They are also difficult to control, so Cheng Anlang didn't equip them.

Cheng Anlang: "I didn't expect that kid on the other side to have this on him..."

They chased each other through the sand, while Cheng Dahua, drooling in the passenger seat, carefully felt the massage-like vibrations in her pelvic floor.

Cheng Anlang found an opportunity and fired a laser directly at the other side!

The laser pierced through the yellow sand and flew towards the other side, but the other side was not to be underestimated either. The laser grazed the arm of the other mech and disappeared at the far horizon!

Just then, the other side jumped up and fired a laser at Cheng Anlang, carrying a bomb with the shape of another five fingers!

The laser approached in the blink of an eye. Cheng Anlang's men quickly operated the cockpit buttons. A gale swept in, and the mech struggled to move through the shifting sand, barely dodging the incoming laser and bombs.

"boom--"

Before Cheng Anlang could even feel a surge of relief, he suddenly realized, "Oh no!"

Lasers and bombs exploded behind Cheng Anlang, and the earth seemed to shake for a moment. The wind was sharp, and Cheng Anlang was violently shaking in the cockpit. He kept maneuvering the mecha to leave the area. Cheng Dahua sat in the co-pilot seat and enjoyed the ride. Sand rippled out like flowing water!

"It's quicksand!"

The quicksand, like a silent beast, silently and swiftly swallowed the mech's feet!

"Oh no!"

Cheng Anlang felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was hanging under his feet. No matter what he did, it was useless. He could only watch helplessly as the mecha sank deeper and deeper until his entire foot and half of his calf were stuck in the mud, and it was still sinking further!

The enemy is getting closer and closer. Neither side has prepared their lasers, and the enemy has already used up their bombs!

"What exactly is his second modification position?!"

The opponent quickly approached, leaped high, and raised his arm to smash towards Cheng Anlang!

Cheng Anlang reflexively raised his arm to block, and the mecha sank heavily into the sand under the force and the swallowing of the quicksand!

Okay, this time half of my body is sunk in...

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, the opponent lightly leaped back, opening the second modification slot.

Cheng Anlang heard the voice from the other end transmitted through the communicator.

The person on the other end said softly, "It's over."

There was a soft "bang".
