On the EMP virtual mode forum of Sky Message, a post quietly climbed up to the top, and the discussion was very heated.
The poster was "Kepler Pirate King" and the title was "Puppet God's Special Thread - Does the virtual zone Puppet God have the ability to challenge the real zone?"
The forum already had tens of thousands of discussions, and the ID Puppet was quite famous in the virtual battle zone, with thousands of battles and very high scores. Although he set his profile to hidden, after playing for a long time and encountering many people, they all shared their experiences of fighting with Puppet. This person is really terrifying, skilled in many mechs, and has never heard of any failures. Moreover, many virtual mode masters have lost to him, and no one has ever claimed to have beaten him.
So the question is, is he just a pure entertainment player?
If it's just for entertainment, there's no need to hide himself. Winning is just for showing off, otherwise what's the point?
But no one has ever talked to Puppet, nor has anyone been his friend.
"I predicted it before, Puppet God will definitely move to the real mode. He has no opponents in the virtual mode!"
"Forget it, he has never participated in a virtual zone competition. Why say he has no opponents? Playing as an amateur and competing are completely different things!"
"He still has some skills. Maybe he's afraid of being targeted by a military school's dimensional attack, so he's embarrassed to go public."
"Same here. Actually, I really look down on this kind of person. If you have the ability, just play in your own area. What's the point of coming to the virtual zone to bully newbies?"
"Nothing special, just an ordinary player. What's there to discuss? Don't we care about face in the virtual zone?"
................
In the dormitory, "Kepler's Pirate King" sat with his legs crossed, watching a group of people chatting, with a smug smile on his face. "Newbies, you lack my insight."
Zhuang Zhou, a freshman in the Tianjing Machine Military Academy's journalism department, wanted to study mecha, but his grades were not good enough, so he had to settle for second best. This way, he could get closer to these mecha gods.
The virtual zone and the real zone are completely different worlds. After those gods in the virtual zone became swollen, they always wanted to prove themselves in the real zone. But often, "reality" is cruel, and almost all of them are beaten to the point of being incontinent. This is the current situation in the virtual zone, and it is the same in other federations.
Zhuang Zhou usually switches between "real mode" and virtual mode. When he is too tired from the real mode, he goes to the virtual mode to relax. His level in the preparatory class is not top-notch, but his win rate in the virtual mode is still quite high. Especially when he bullies those self-proclaimed masters, everyone's spirits are lifted.
Until he met Puppet.
Yes, it was a complete nightmare. He was using NUP's light super mech, which had excellent performance, but his opponent was using Armored Dragon, and he was torn apart. That battle brought out all of his inner shadows.
He was a little unwilling to find his place back, but he found that this person didn't care about anyone. Zhuang Zhou was also a stubborn person, silently observing this ID all the time. He found that this person didn't prohibit onlookers, and he was fascinated by watching every battle. As long as Puppet's ID appeared in his battle record, he would rush over immediately.
But all he saw were victories. Actually, this was nothing special. Any strong military school student could perform gorgeous operations. To put it simply, don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's professions.
But Zhuang Zhou found something different, the mech's color!
His golden gene was particularly weak, which can be described as "women's sixth sense," sometimes accurate, sometimes not. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and then repeatedly compared it, finally finding the problem.
EMP's two modes have subtle color differences. The virtual mode is mainly for entertainment, so the mech's color should be bright and eye-catching. In all of Puppet's matches, his mech's color was different from his opponents', very subtle, more like the color of the real mode.
At first, Zhuang Zhou laughed at himself. This was obviously impossible and illogical. Was there still a masochist in this world?But after following for more than half a year, he realized it wasn't an illusion. The other party really had a color difference, which meant that there was someone who was using real mode to play virtual mode?
He tried it once and then vomited. Although he wasn't at the level of the Mecha Department, he was at least a virtual expert. This switch gave him a feeling of the end of the world.

What kind of lunatic would use real mode to play virtual mode?
What was the motive?
Strange things must have a demon behind them. At that moment, Zhuang Zhou's blood was boiling. This puppet definitely had a problem.
So he believed that one day the puppet would return to real mode. What would that be like?
Zhuang Zhou stared at him every day. Sometimes he even looked at him when he went to the bathroom at night, afraid of missing something. Until yesterday, he waited.
Yes, a real mode battle!
The first opponent was a user with the ID of Eternal Starlight. Although the data was closed, as a senior EMP enthusiast, Zhuang Zhou recognized it at a glance. He thought it would be a fierce battle, but he couldn't believe his eyes.
Fei Man, the great god who shone in the Mecha Competition, was actually beaten by the puppet. Was this seeing God?
The defeat in the Mecha Competition made the supporters of USE hold their breath, hoping to find a way to regain their reputation. After the competition, the online rate of EMP's virtual mode increased by 300%.
Zhuang Zhou was excited. The puppet was probably from USE, because there were mostly medium-sized Mechas from USE in his Mecha. This should be a subconscious preference, and the motivation for other federations to choose this was very low.
Zhuang Zhou became very interested in this person. Would there be different results if such a person participated in the last competition?
He felt that the heat of the forum posts was almost the same, so Zhuang Zhou opened Sky Message, called out the operation interface, and released the second post.
Puppet Real Mode: Seven Wins Highlight Reel.
A simple and unpretentious title, combined with a clip he stayed up all night to edit, was perfect.
He hugged his neck with both hands, leaned back on the chair, raised his legs, and didn't make any gimmicks. Sometimes he buried foreshadowing clues, letting them discover more interesting things themselves. If no one found it, he would use a small account to comment.
Now, let the bullets fly for a while.
Soon, the guys in the dormitory came back. They came from all over the country to study at Tianjing Machine Military Academy and were all very excited. Zhuang Zhou turned off Sky Message. People who do big things still need to maintain a bit of mystery. He believed that the great god puppet was the same.
"The resources of Tianji are really good. Guess who I saw today?"
"Who?" Zhuang Zhou was good at playing the straight man.
"Yingtong, Yijie, and Shengman Sister, the three goddesses together, different tastes, but the same level, amazing."
When it came to beautiful women, especially famous ones, the freshmen were immediately excited. Zhuang Zhou wasn't very interested, although most of the students in the journalism department were gossipers, he didn't want to hang out with a bunch of kids. He had his own pursuits, and his sixth sense told him that he had found a big fish.
After delivering takeout, flattering the boss, and receiving his daily pay, the lowly worker returned to school happily.
It was still early, so he played bleem until he reached 3000 points. It wasn't for this, but there might be a big task later. He had already passed the halfway point of understanding the truth, so he wasn't afraid of speeding up.
He ate something to replenish his energy and went to the EMP building. The official start of school made the entire EMP building more lively. Of course, during non-holidays, the EMP building could only be used by the Mecha and Starship departments. If others wanted to play, they would have to go outside to find a place, but the EMP outside was usually only virtual mode.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Hao got a training room. The mechanism of EMP was that the more wins you had at the beginning, the more points you got for consecutive wins. But as you went on, it became harder and harder to get points. 3000 points weren't easy, but Li Hao roughly estimated that it wasn't a big problem.
Log in to the system.Ding dong ding dong ding ding ding ding ~~~~~~~~~~
The overwhelming sound of notifications made Li Hao frown. Either someone was adding him as a friend or challenging him to a fight. Li Hao cleared all the notifications to the trash bin and deactivated the friend and challenge options. He just wanted to quietly play a match and hoped to face a worthy opponent.
"Player Puppet, you have entered matchmaking mode. Please be patient..."
The system notification interrupted Li Hao's thoughts. He closed his eyes and waited patiently.
Meanwhile, at the Tianxing Machine Military Academy on the moon, Fei Man was like a red hot lobster. He was a young genius who had joined the Revelation Elite Squad and achieved great success. He had faced strong opponents before, but yesterday's insult was something he had never experienced before. He was filled with anger and determined to seek revenge.
Although Alz had advised him to let it go, Fei Man's stubborn personality refused to back down. He rushed to log into Sky Message and enter matchmaking mode, hoping for a chance to face his opponent again.
At the Tianjing Machine Military Academy, Zhuang Zhou was bragging with his roommates when he noticed the Sky Message icon light up. He put on his holographic glasses and excused himself, leaving his friends to their own devices.
Li Hao was getting impatient. It was easy to find opponents in EMP, but the system had detected something strange about his situation, causing a delay in matchmaking.
Finally, Li Hao's opponent was determined: Eternal Starlight.
Fei Man let out a roar of determination. He was grateful that his prayers had been answered and was determined to defeat his opponent.
