76: New Mech: Eclipse Raven

Chen Ming's anticipation for selecting the Gold Treasure Chest was written all over his face.

[Opening Gold Treasure Chest...]

[Successfully opened! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining Mecha Random Gift Package +1!]

"Another Mecha!" Chen Ming had no intention of disliking it; instead, he was excited to be able to own a brand new Mecha equipment again.

He found the Mecha Random Gift Package in his storage space and confirmed to open it!

[Are you sure you want to open the Mecha Random Gift Package?]

'Confirm!'

[Opening...]

[Successfully opened! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining S-Rank Mecha: Eclipse Raven!]

Chen Ming knew every single word when separated, but when combined, asking him to guess what kind of Mecha it was based on these four words was, to be honest, a bit difficult.

Just based on the word ' 鴉' (raven), he could guess it might be related to a raven.

"Related to a raven... a Mecha?"

Chen Ming wasn't entirely sure about his inner thoughts; in his impression, Mechas were mostly humanoid.

Putting aside further thoughts, he directly found the Eclipse Raven Mecha. Judging from the preview icon in the small grid of the storage space, it really was a raven!

With his thoughts fluctuating, Chen Ming came outside the villa, confirmed that the placement location was green, there were no obstacles, and the terrain was flat enough, then clicked to take out the Mecha.

Immediately, a lifelike, entirely black raven Mecha with a high-grade metallic texture appeared before Chen Ming.

Its pair of crimson eyes were like blood moons; even during the day, the enchanting red light reflected was still heart-pounding!

At night, the deterrent effect would surely be greatly increased.

"So exquisite." Looking at each individually crafted feather, Chen Ming couldn't help but praise it.

Even if its practicality wasn't high, as a collectible art piece, it was definitely a perfect work.

When Chen Ming had the idea of boarding the Mecha's cockpit, the Eclipse Raven actively unfolded one of its wings, like a ladder.

Chen Ming instantly moved a few times and arrived at the back of the Eclipse Raven's neck. Unlike the Dangerous Drifter, its cockpit wasn't in its chest but located slightly above its neck.

He entered the cockpit along the steps.

The steps automatically folded, becoming the hatch, and closed.

Chen Ming had also quickly put on his equipment by now. What he saw through his eyes was perfectly integrated with this bird-beast-shaped Mecha entirely crafted from special metal.

His hands controlled the wings, and his feet controlled the sharp claws.

Even if Chen Ming's toes couldn't flexibly grasp prey like bird claws, it didn't matter; the operating system would automatically optimize the work, ensuring that every movement and command from Chen Ming was transmitted and displayed one hundred percent.

Chen Ming studied it for a bit.

If he had to compare the two Mechas side by side, the Eclipse Raven was indeed not as rich in attack methods as the Dangerous Drifter.

However, the improvement brought by the flying ability, as well as a pair of powerful, sharp claws hard enough to easily crush dragon scales, and the ultimate move as a trump card, were enough to compensate for this gap.

Chen Ming spread his wings and successfully flew into the sky.

It was even easier to control than he had imagined.

"It truly lives up to being an S-Rank Mecha. This performance and operational smoothness are simply beyond words," Chen Ming praised without reservation.

Currently, having just finished lunch and obtained a brand new Mecha, he especially wanted to move around properly, test the Mecha, and digest his food along the way.

Chen Ming urgently needed enemies, lots of enemies!

Summoning the virtual panel and opening the Resource Map, Chen Ming locked onto an open-air stadium five kilometers away.

The stadium wasn't important; what was important was that thousands of Zombies had gathered inside the stadium!

"If I remember correctly, didn't some big pop star hold a concert here previously?" Chen Ming didn't know much about the entertainment industry.

The reason he knew about this was because his dorm leader, Yang Dong, was a fan of that star.

A few days ago, because his hand speed was slow and he didn't get tickets, he complained to them endlessly.

Even if Chen Ming wasn't interested, Yang Dong had said it so many times in his ear that it was impossible not to remember.

Now, he actually had to thank that big star for gathering so many people, all infected with the Zombie virus, giving him the opportunity to test his new Mecha.

Thousands of Zombies were enough.

After testing the Eclipse Raven Mecha, he could also extract them into Undead and harvest a large number of treasure chests.

Chen Ming absolutely loved these few skills; their combined effect was perfect.

Returning to the Mecha itself.

While standing, the Eclipse Raven's height was not as great as the Dangerous Drifter's, but it still reached 19 meters, which was not to be underestimated.

When it spread its wings, it could even be described as covering the sky and the sun. When its shadow passed overhead, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Ignoring the cigarette in his hand, a Man looked up, staring blankly at the giant monster passing overhead.

He was so scared that his cigarette dropped to the ground.

After reacting, he quickly covered his head and squatted down, afraid of being noticed by the monster and taken back as a small insect to feed its young birds.

"What are you scared of?" His friend beside him said speechlessly.

He took out his phone, opened the camera, and directly pressed the record function.

"Are you crazy! What if the flash attracts that monster, and both of us get eaten as food!" The Man roared.

"Idiot, look closely, the monster is flesh and blood. This guy is a lump of iron," his companion patiently reminded him.

"Lump of iron?" Hearing this, the Man slowly peeked out with a pair of eyes, still wary.

After looking closely, he slowly stood up and straightened his back, "Mechanical monster?"

"No, I think it's highly likely to be the same type of combat machine as the previous Mecha Celestial," his companion expressed his opinion.

Seeing that the Eclipse Raven had already hidden in the clouds and was no longer demanding attention, he stopped the recording function, saved it, and then opened the editing function.

He decided to trim away the extra, blank content that lacked the Eclipse Raven.

Before the apocalypse, he was an editor for an online news agency.

Through osmosis, he knew exactly what kind of video would attract more attention.

"Is it edited? Let me see," the Man reached out his hand.

"Soon." Another half minute passed, and his companion handed the phone to the Man.

On the screen, his companion had already finished uploading the video.

The Man wasn't interested in those trending data; instead, he clicked play and browsed the video content.

"As a weapon, it's excessively exquisite! It's like, no, that's not right, it is a rare treasure, a work of art!"

The Man watched repeatedly, constantly giving high praise.

Those living in the comment section had the same thoughts.

[What a big raven! One bite must eat dozens or hundreds of people, right?]

[Raven? Look closely, that's clearly a mechanical structure]

[Mechanical? Could it be related to the Mecha Celestial?]

[It must be a high-tech weapon fished up!]

[Damn it, am I the only 'Non-Chief' in the entire Great Xia?]

[Although I really don't want to admit it, you're not alone]

[Add me]

...

They were chatting happily.

Meanwhile, Chen Ming could already see the outline of the stadium from afar.
