Chapter 1113 - The Secret Weapon
"Way to ’not’ put me under pressure! Would you prefer that we just crash and burn the moment we lock on to the enemy?" Shi Zuo questioned her as he flipped a few switches on. "If we do not know what this baby can do, how are we going to win this? In case you forgot, there are TWO Raid Boss Monsters waiting for us up there! I, for one, don’t want to be remembered as ’that one Pandawan who ruined the secret weapon to succeed in the Demopolis City Raid Instance’ !"
"Then why is this even more difficult than the tanks and artillery guns we previously operated? "Luo Bo questioned but Shi Zuo did not even bother replying as he was too occupied with the remaining items on the checklist but eventually gave in. Although he knew that if he ignored her, he could activate the c.o.c.kpit faster for operational use, but he was afraid a bored Luo Bo might do something rash.
"You would have to ask Boss Jin. Maybe it had always been programmed like this? Maybe the bonus we missed out on, would have made things easier. Could even be some sort of penalty for us kinda cheating the dice game back then." Shi Zuo answered as he continued to keep his face buried deep in a physical manual book.
That reply of course made Luo Bo even more bored since she was not exactly listening to the things he said. And thus, she decided to do it her own way, after all, this was really just a raid instance. There was no need to be so uptight in her opinion. (She lied. Luo Bo wanted to fight in the big giant robot as quickly as possible.)
"AHHHHH WHATEVER, I AM TURNING IT ON!" Luo Bo commented as she sat properly at the front console and pressed the ignition button. The interfaces immediately lit up right in front of them and the dark metal surfaces in front of them instantly boot up to show the surroundings. The hangar outside of the c.o.c.kpit was poorly lit when they entered it previously but when the ignition button was pressed, the hangar bay automatically raised its alarm to red alert. Flash lights were lit up and various autonomous equipment started to move around them.
"Arghhh!! Luo Bo, dear. Can you please be a bit more patient?! I’m not done with it!! If there is something to happen before we-’’ Shi Zuo tried to talk some sense into his girlfriend, but she was no longer listening. The Rabbit Pandawan was going to be selfish as she grabbed the joystick consoles towards her and put on her seatbelt.
"I believe in you! No one else but you can find out along the way when we are fighting the boss monster." Luo Bo encouraged the Mad Monkey Cultivator as she pressed a button on the System interface indicating ’Launch’. Despite it being a flat panel with some interactive holographic buttons, there was actually some pressure feedback when she pressed the ’Launch’ button.
Originally, Shi Zuo had wanted Bu Dong or Deng Long to pilot the Supa Robot as those two were veterans in the Supa Robot War mini game. However, Luo Bo did not care about Shi Zuo’s ’logic’ plus the sight of a Taurus Supa Robot felt awfully familiar to her that Luo Bo said she had to ride it no matter what. (She remembered seeing it somewhere but she could not recall it on the spot since she was preoccupied to know that they were vital in those fights or maybe there was just too much crazy stuff happening.)
Most importantly, she wanted the raid points. Initially, she did not care about the Boss Monster as it had been pretty apparent that it was designed with team effort in mind. But right now, she saw the opportunity to not only earn raid points but be the best person to earn the raid points.
How could she hand over such a precious fighting equipment to Bu Dong and Deng Long when it could potentially defeat not one but two Ooofpa Loopas?! That would definitely mean that she would be the MVP of the raid if she managed to pull it off and she would show that Hippo what it means to be the best raid cultivator in Jin’s Dungeons and Pandas. (Not to mention it could mean getting a special sort of PLUSHIE!!!)
"F.u.c.k f.u.c.k f.u.c.k! Screw it! Why did I even bother to try and reason with her?!" Shi Zuo cursed their situation in his mind as he was forced to watch Luo Bo not giving a damn about his explanations. He quickly strapped on his seatbelt and began to ensure that all the robot’s parameters were within range for the launch.
At that point, he could feel the Supa Robot was slowly being shifted around within the hangar, a corner where a large heavy metal door slowly rose up. As the front monitor was something similar to a panel with 270 degrees of vision, he was able to have a bird’s eye view of the hangar because of the connection between the robot and the hangar.
"Luo Bo. Wear this. It should help you with the fight since you are piloting the robot. This will lighten the load for you while I provide the necessary support." Shi Zuo said as he threw a helmet towards her direction and she did not hesitate to wear it. This caused a series of brain shockwaves transmitting to her head and she could feel a phantom interaction between her and the robot.
Lights also began to lit up the route of the launch tube as the movement came to a halt. The tubes that were initially stuck to the Supa Robot were finally disengaged after Shi Zuo cleared them via his own interface.
"All Systems green. You are good to-"
"MECHATAUR LAUNCHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Luo Bo shouted excitedly as she stepped on the throttle and slammed the accelerator joystick to the maximum.
