News of the Shadow Rider going online was immediately posted on the forum by a netizen, causing loyal fans to quickly rush in, not to see the Revenge Shadow Rider in action, but rather, to witness Phantom Knight 0001's performance.

Sherlock was interacting with large number of netizens. As a popular game commentator and video content creator, Sherlock dedicated some time every day to discuss Star Wars related topics with the public.

She followed many professional players, including grassroots gamers. In this day and age, where grassroots players rule, some guys will always rise from obscurity to godlike status in gaming.

But in all fairness, Sherlock was truly a fan of Phantom Knight 0001. Despite not being a die-hard devotee, she had a thing for Phantom Knight 0001's tall body and gorgeous appearance. In her words, it was super cool to add Revenge Shadow Rider purely for its aesthetics, and she repeated this point N times.

Life was a struggle for Sherlock, who had to take care of her younger brother. Every day, she was busy until late at night. When she heard a special notification, she hesitated for a moment before she noticed Shadow Rider's shining ID, that mysterious and somewhat hilarious guy...

Online spectators watched the commotion. While not fully acquainted with the Revenge Shadow Rider, and despite having only seen two of his battles, it must be said that watching the Revenge Shadow Rider fight was a wonderful visual experience.

His thinking was imaginative, always surprising the audience with unpredictable moves. Just when you thought he was cornered, it turned out that his opponent fell instead. It was an enjoyable show, all the way through.

Soon, Sherlock and many netizens entered the matchmaking express. Comments of all sorts were flying around, making it hard to keep track... In just a minute, the waiting player count skyrocketed from 300 to over 1000, and it was still growing...

Whether it was due to the type of Mecha used, or its unique war record, as players entered the matchmaking wars, the viewers were constantly moving in and out of the live stream... It was hard to understand how a Mecha with only a 5% win rate managed to pull off two consecutive wins.

Remember, the system positions your overall evaluation based on your physical condition and then finds equals in matchmaking wars. Could there have been a malfunction? This possibility could not be entirely ruled out.

Half of the observers quit the battle livestream, most of them were high-end lords who cared little about a guy with only two victories. They thought it was undignified to watch a newbie's battle. Now that was demoralising.

In the evening, at the Federal No. 2 Dragon Gate Space Station, a professionally dressed military member bumped into the Revenge Shadow Rider. His ID name was Red Fire.

Upon seeing the ID verification message, fans of Phantom Knight 0001 gasped! For a player at this level, the fight record wasn't important anymore. The opponent was a professional soldier who wouldn't take the fight record too seriously.

Although Red Fire's Mecha was a Warcraft, it must be stronger than the Phantom Knight 0001 but yet not outrageously so. However, his professional position could not be ignored. A professional soldier's combat skills were far superior to those of some wannabe lady super cop. They would undoubtedly bring his game up a notch or two.

A shade of disappointment flashed through Red Fire's eyes. His matched opponent was weak, using a Mecha that was considered trash, and was a noob who only had two battles under his belt. It seemed like he was not up to par.

There was no need to pull any tricks on him. He could simply overpower him with a direct attack, then move on to the next battle. Red Fire was too lazy to even pick a map, he left it up to his opponent, any map would do, the result wouldn't change anyway.

The Revenge Shadow Rider, remaining prestigious and unyielding, stood still, as if resisting Red Fire, as if, silently, and arrogantly declaring, 'I'm not afraid of you, if you don't choose, then I won't choose either.'

The audience was speechless, some feeling the urge to smash their heads against the wall. Courage was a good thing, but you have to pick your battles. This guy was clearly shorter than his opponent. Wasn't he just asking for a beating?

Feng Yi, on the other hand, seemed relaxed in his control room. He wasn't doing this to put on a show, not picking the map first was not a good habit. A fighter should be able to adapt to all kinds of conditions to avoid being limited by battlefield constraints. The question was, did his opponent hold the same belief?

Feng Yi casually clicked the green button, and the Mecha instantly popped out a bottle of functional drink. It was standard issue, coming with two bottles per Mecha, if you wanted more, you had to buy them yourself. He drank it and found the taste quite satisfactory.

The two contestants stood looking at each other, as the audience watched on, a minute passed in this silent confrontation. The system then forced entry into the random map selection phase.

The rapidly changing scene settled down, and as they entered the new setting together, everyone, including Red Fire, could not help but startle.

This place was a bloody battlefield, with blooming fire raining from the starlit sky like crimson flowers. The sounds of gunfire echoed around, resounding in their ears...

Here they were, standing on the planet Big Macs, a real battlefield, one of the few high-gravity planets of the Federation. The absence of the simulated gravity field suggested that they had to bear the pressure of a four-fold increase in gravity on top of their fight, which was far more intense than the temporary acceleration experienced by fighter jet pilots.

You've got to be kidding! It was known that Phantom Knight 0001 was heavy and slow-moving. Combine this with high gravity, the combined burden affecting the pilot was not simply four times as much.

Furthermore, the opponent was a professional soldier. The difference in their abilities was clear. Not to mention the disadvantage brought by the environment, even under regular gravity conditions, the chances of the Revenge Shadow Rider winning were slim, let alone here? When the system realized that the Revenge Shadow Rider couldn't bear the high gravity, it would immediately declare him dead. There was a possibility that Red Fire could win this battle without firing a single shot.

Just as people were awestruck, they noticed that the stationary Revenge Shadow Rider was not declared dead. Could it be that this was the maximum he could withstand?

Bang!

Two missiles came flying from the sky, one toward the distance, the other exploded not far from the Revenge Shadow Rider...

Viewers were startled by the scene, and Sherlock quickly held her hands across her chest.

No one knew if the Revenge Shadow Rider was injured or what condition the pilot was in. When the smoke cleared, the Shadow Rider remained standing still - motionless.

At this moment, it gave a peculiar feeling, like a silent warrior understanding something, and the strong contrast made the tense audience feel their blood boiling.

That's right, Feng Yi was silent, but his combat cells were slowly awakening. This felt nostalgic.
