Eva tried to pull the trigger several times, but a strange sense of unease always held her back, making her feel extremely uneasy. It was as if her trusted gun was also affected by some inscrutable force, and her continuous shots failed to hit the target.
Observant Eva quickly noticed something odd about MX's movement, which resembled an arc-shaped step but with some differences. She thought disdainfully that it was too naive to try to dodge her shots with such a step. However, despite her familiarity with the arc-shaped step, MX's movements were unpredictable to her.
Eva stared intently at MX, mentally counting the changes in the arc-shaped step, searching for the perfect moment to shoot. Finally, she believed she had found the perfect opportunity and fired without hesitation. However, the result shocked her - MX miraculously dodged the shot.
As MX gradually approached, Eva began to panic, and her gun fired uncontrollably. Fortunately, one of the bullets hit MX's left shoulder, causing him to veer off course. However, this hit didn't give Eva much breathing room, as MX's movements became even more erratic and unpredictable.
Meanwhile, Matthew was sweating profusely, and his hands were so heavy that he could barely lift them. But he gritted his teeth and persevered. Suddenly, there was a vibration in the mech, and he knew that his Blackbird had been hit. However, he didn't stop to check the damage but continued to move at high speed.
Eva was horrified to discover that her previous shot not only failed to take down MX but also made his movement even more unpredictable. She tried to adjust her shooting angle to deliver a fatal blow to MX, but her aim had become erratic.
As Matthew watched his opponent loom larger in his sights, his excitement grew stronger. Relying on his intuition and experience, he successfully dodged Eva's attack and quickly approached her. He drew the magnetic sword strapped to his back, and his left hand subtly reached for the alloy dagger strapped to his left knee. He was certain that if he could get close enough to attack, victory would be his.
As he got closer and closer, Matthew's excitement mounted, and his focus made his movements even faster.
The magnetic sword hummed softly in the air, and with a flash of its blade, Matthew easily slit his opponent's throat. Without pausing, he quickly drew the alloy dagger and precisely inserted it into the cockpit of his opponent's Yingfeng mech. Simultaneously, a voice announcing Matthew's victory resounded throughout the room.
Matthew shouted in triumph; this was his first victory.
Eva sat dazed in the floating chair, with the virtual reality helmet hovering silently in front of her. Her mind was haunted by MX's eerie and unpredictable movements, his ruthless and direct attacks, and his unwavering courage. These scenes left her feeling shocked and confused.
Charles noticed his daughter's absentminded behavior at the dinner table and asked with concern, glancing at his wife, "Eva, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Eva finally came to her senses and forced a smile, replying, "It's nothing, just that I encountered a very unusual opponent today." Hearing that his daughter had faced a unique opponent, Charles became interested and asked, "Oh? An unusual opponent? Can you tell me more about it?" As a senior mech warrior, he was always curious and passionate about mech battles.
Eva suddenly remembered that her father was a senior mech warrior, and if she didn't know him, her father surely would. She couldn't help but spill the beans about her experience today. When she mentioned MX's never-give-up attitude despite repeated defeats, Charles nodded in approval, "Impressive, this MX is indeed a very courageous person!"
When Eva mentioned the eerie and unpredictable movements of MX's final approach, which resembled the arc-shaped step, Sun Haining's expression became solemn. He then asked some detailed questions about it, and with her father's guidance, Eva recalled many details that she had overlooked at the time.
Sun Haining said seriously, "If your description is accurate, that MX might have been using the Chaos Waveform Dash, a set of evasion maneuvers typically only used by senior mech warriors. It requires not only high manual skills but also an advanced mech equipped with a capable high-level computer brain to handle the complex calculations involved."
Eva asked incredulously, "But he was using a Blackbird!"
"That's what surprises me too. Technically, the Blackbird shouldn't be able to perform those maneuvers because even if his manual skills are up to par, the Blackbird's computer brain isn't. There's only one possibility - he modified the Blackbird and equipped it with a powerful computer brain."
Eva pursed her lips and said, "But I thought he was a beginner!"
Charles chuckled, "So what if he's a beginner? Beginners can't modify mechs? Besides, maybe his teacher or an elder modified it to suit his fighting style. This MX is quite impressive for being able to perform such difficult maneuvers."
Eva still didn't believe it, "Then why didn't he use those maneuvers from the start? Why wait until he lost so many times?"
Charles was stumped, "Uh... well... that's because... umm... Eva, let's eat first, look, the food is getting cold!"
Charles' wife smiled as she watched her husband awkwardly shove food into his mouth.
Despite her father's reasoning, Eva felt that it wasn't quite right, but she couldn't pinpoint the reason. It was just a vague intuition!
However, just as Charles never considered the possibility of someone completing those maneuvers solely through manual operations without the aid of a computer brain, Eva also didn't have this impossible idea in her mind.
Eva slapped her aching head in frustration, forgetting about it. She would just ask him the next time she encountered him!
