My outside expression is different from my inner expression

Chapter 82.2

Editor: Jodi

At this moment, Avery had already fended off one wave of attacks and was currently circling around the other robots, choosing the right moment to strike back.

However it was clear that even though the other robots hadn’t cooperated before, all they had to do now was to defeat Avery together.

—Because after one side attacked, another one would follow on another side.

Even if Avery was very powerful, it couldn’t block them all.

Just as a wave of attacks were about to hit Avery’s mechanical arm, the attacks were suddenly blocked by Combat One with a ‘clang’ sound.

The audience and netizens couldn’t help but feel surprise and amazement as the match continued, their hearts rising and falling with the ongoing actions.

[Is Combat One going to help Avery?]

[Why does it seem like President Li isn’t controlling much…. is this Combat One’s autonomous action?]

Just then, Combat One’s voice finally sounded for the first time in the arena, “Your name’s Avery, right? Do you want to work together?”

This voice was mature, sounding very much like a dependable big brother.

Outside the arena, Albert was originally somewhat surprised, then quickly reacted, controlling Avery to nod and agree to work together.

Combat One: “Alright then, wait a moment.”

Wait a moment?

Wait for what?

The audience and netizens couldn’t help but be extremely confused. Why wait during such a tense moment?

Every second wasted was one point lost.

However immediately after, what Combat One displayed next made all the contestants’ eyes widen, their robot controlling actions unable to help but pause for a minute.

—They only heard abrupt ‘click clack’ mechanical sounds as Combat One’s heavy and assembled turned and rubbed.

Then along with the sound, Combat One’s body suddenly rose.

And a mechanical part resembling a calf unexpectedly extended from its originally bulky rolling feet. However it didn’t stop there.

Its waist area also changed as well, another section extending from it, making its body even taller.

In no time, Combat One had transformed from its initial half-meter height to a towering one meter twenty-three.

And even though it was still relatively short, it no longer looked like a dwarf being compared to giants.

[F*ck, what did I just see?! Combat One can even grow taller on its own?! This reminds me of Rescue One…. it just grew a little taller and it was so happy. This comparison is so tragic, haha.]

[I just knew Combat One was hiding its true strength. It even knows how to form a Robot Alliance first!]

[But, won’t this transformation affect Combat One’s stability? Doesn’t altering its body come with some drawbacks? Ah! They’re fighting!]

Taking advantage of the moment while the other robots were still ‘dazed’, Combat One said ‘attack’, then took the lead in striking back first.

It was only then that the other contestants reacted and tried to block the attacks.

As mentioned earlier, compared to Albert’s robots, the other combat robots really looked to be inadequate.

And now, with the joint attack efforts of Combat One and Avery, gradually….. one, two, the robots were gradually eliminated from the match.

The battlefield in the arena was intense, with components, weapons, and even mechanical arms falling off the robots from time to time……

These scattered parts became significant obstacles on the path for the robots to navigate.

In the end, except for Combat One and Avery, all the other combat robots lost their mobility.

—The arena now belonged to these two teams.

Li Qingzhou couldn’t help but look towards Albert’s side.

Coincidentally, Albert also glanced over, and the two exchanged a brief look before refocusing on the arena.

Combat One and Avery faced each other, neither of them making the first move.

However just at that moment, Albert moved.

He entered commands on his laptop, clicked confirm, then suddenly— they only saw Avery’s mechanical arm start to change.

To be more precise, its heavy hammer unexpectedly rearranged itself mechanically, and from it, an object that was half an arm’s length extended from the top, reminiscent of the lance used by ancient knights.

Obviously, this was the hidden strength of Albert’s team.

This weapon looked even more dangerous than the heavy hammer, especially when, in the next moment, the lance-like object similar to that used by ancient knights began to rotate rapidly.

The high-speed rotating weapon significantly enhanced the attack power.

[D*mn…. I thought the robot with hidden strength was Combat One. I didn’t expect it to be Avery.]

[No wonder Albert’s team kept this strength hidden. This weapon consumes a lot of power, and once the power runs out, the weapon would become useless, who would in turn reduce their chances of winning.]

[Now it’s left with only Combat One on the field….. President Li’s team won’t lose, right?]

[Albert is too cunning right! Why didn’t he use this when they teamed up earlier? Showing it only now when there’s only one opponent left, he did this deliberately. Combat One is so pitiful.….]

[Upstairs, this is a competition, not a charity. Who doesn’t hide some of their strength?]

Li Qingzhou and Albert didn’t know about the hot discussions online, as they were fully focused on the battlefield.

Albert couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief when Avery’s weapons finished transforming.

—Combat One definitely wouldn’t be able to resist, so let’s just end it like this. He should be able to win this match…..

However things were always unpredictable, and situations could always change suddenly.

Because facing Avery’s weapon change, Combat One suddenly released both of his mechanical hands then dropped his original weapons.

Then, under the confused and puzzled eyes of the audience and netizens— Combat One used one of his mechanical hands to remove the other.

But with the removal of the other mechanical hand, a conical-shaped weapon extended once more from the mechanical arm.

Then suddenly, this conical-shaped weapon also began to rotate at high speed.

Albert: “!”

Audience and netizens: F*ck!

But it wasn’t over yet. After equipping one weapon, Combat One reached towards the back of its neck.

Combat One’s back, like other robots, had a thick mechanical casing, and the neck was connected to the mechanical back.

But as Combat One reached behind, a small opening appeared in this mechanical back.

Then, it grabbed something and pulled it out-

There was a mechanical click.

Then a weapon with serrated edges on both sides was actually pulled out from Combat One’s back, after which the flat handle of the weapon was connected securely and firmly to its mechanical hand.

This time, the audience and netizens couldn’t even say ‘d*mn’, directly speechless.

They originally thought Combat One was already at the Platinum level, who would’ve thought that he’d reach the King status directly?

— Could it be that this what they called a gap difference?

After Combat One said, ‘Please enlighten me’, it went straight for Avery.

There was no suspense left in this match.

–Avery’s durability couldn’t match Combat One’s. One of its mechanical arm was removed, its abdomen was pierced, and every other part had more or less damage…..

Then finally, its mechanical arm with the heavy hammer and long lance hung limp, unable to rise again.

The martial arts competition was over– Combat One took first place.
