Chapter 82.1
Editor: Jodi
After celebrating Ge Yue, the martial arts competition began— the melee match.
In the center of the arena, a very large platform had been set up, surrounded by protective barriers.
—This was to prevent the parts of the robots from potentially hurting the audience after being knocked off and then out during the match.
In the final competition of the martial arts competition, there were a total of eight contestants, which meant eight teams participating.
And among them Albert’s team, with his robot Avery attracted the most attention, with the support for them online very high.
The Unique Studio team, following Rescue One and Service One, also had many people looking forward to Combat One’s performance.
Because although Combat One had already appeared in previous matches, it hadn’t shown any exceptional qualities or strength.
For example, would Combat One’s intelligence be on par with Rescue One and Service One?
[I think Combat One must be hiding its true strength as well, because it doesn’t make sense for two sons to be smart while one other son is stupid when they were all made by one Dad.]
[Pfft, how come the person above is so talented? But you’re absolutely right, haha, thumbs up. jpg.]
[I wonder which one will win, Combat One or Avery. I have to admit, Albert is really amazing. Just considering his age alone, being able to make a combat robot shows just how good he is.]
Since this was a melee match for combat robots, the host briefly introduced each team and their robots after the opening.
Then, the match began, and the robots entered the arena.
The sight of the eight robots waiting in the arena was truly captivating, building an anticipation for the upcoming match.
Especially Avery and Combat One.
Albert’s robot Avery, was predominantly red and black, standing at about 1.67 meters tall, exuding a stronger mechanical presence compared to the other robots.
Avery’s chassis had been designed to look like a small tank to provide exceptional stability that would make sure that it wasn’t toppled easily by other robots.
And it came equipped with two mechanical arms— one with a claw-like grabbing mechanism and the other in the shape of a heavy hammer.
The regulations for constructing robots in the martial arts area had specific standards, prohibiting the creation of oversized weapons.
For example, flame-throwers, projectile firearms, and the like.
After all, M Country’s regulations in this regard were quite lenient.
—For the sake of fairness and safety of the competition, martial arts robots generally fought with cold weapons.
Because before that, there had been some contestants who had fitted their robots with weapons like knives and swords.
Hence these weapons underwent rigorous inspection before entering the arena and were only allowed to be attached right before the match.
However although they were permitted, the robots’ bodies were made of tough materials, making it so that slashing and stabbing were less effective.
Avery’s heavy hammer, on the other hand, looked to be quite effective.
As the match began, some contestants instinctively directed their robots to attack Avery.
While others chose to take Combat One on.
The contestants had obviously decided unanimously to eliminate the most powerful robots first before settling their own dispute.
There was no need for discussion; the tactics naturally fell into place.
[This is the bad thing about melee battles— being too flashy isn’t advisable. After all, two fists are no match for four hands.]
[As soon as the rules for this competition were announced, I knew Avery would be in trouble. I wonder how Albert will respond.]
[There are seven robots on the field. Combat One hasn’t moved yet, and four of them are heading towards Avery, so the other two are probably going to besiege Combat One?]
[Avery’s in danger, Avery’s in danger, but Combat One’s situation doesn’t look good either.]
Outside the arena, Lu Mei Shan frowned, “If they eliminate Avery first, will they besiege Combat One next?”
Even if Combat One hadn’t shown any particularly strong abilities and strength before, certain participants might do so for safety’s sake.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be two robots attacking Combat One right now.
Li Qingzhou replied, “Don’t worry, Combat One will make its own judgments based on the situation on the field.”
Lu Mei Shan’s brows relaxed when she heard this, nodding, “Indeed.”
Compared to the other contestants who controlled their robots in battle, they, who were in front of their laptop, merely kept an eye on Combat One’s status.
Before long, there was a change on the battlefield.
Combat One’s mechanical face had eyes that glowed with blue light.
These eyes glowed, then its head turned, as if observing the surroundings.
Then, Combat One moved, heading towards Avery.
[No way right? Could it be that Unique Studio’s Team has also decided to join the siege?!]
Compared to other robots, combat robots’ sizes were larger, not only in height but also in width.
However, the larger the robot, the more challenging it was to make, because materials, equipment, etc., were all things that needed to be taken into careful consideration.
And among all the robots on the field, Avery was the most imposing, which indirectly reflected Albert’s investment in it.
And the other robots weren’t too far behind it in height at at least around one meter forty-five.
However Combat One was only half a meter tall.
This made Combat One seem somewhat ‘scrawny’ among all the robots.
