Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 119: Thomas’s Confidence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before the beast siege, Thomas had originally planned to join the mecha course. However, the situation was different now. The mecha course had begun to decline, and the genetics course had become the most popular choice in the Federation.

Thomas had the strength of someone with a Level 6 Potential. Thus, he could be considered as someone with Genetic Potential. He had obtained 15 points for this alone, not to mention the other talents he had.

This was simply an unfair competition. If the Federation was allowed to provide the odds for such a competition, the odds would not be lower than 1000/1.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. This was almost a match that no one would pay attention to. In formal competitions like this, the weaker side would be allowed to forfeit. Meanwhile, the weaker side would mostly choose to forfeit.. Otherwise, they would be mocked by others and cause people to be angry.

However, forfeiting was not allowed here. This match also attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Genetics College, especially the God of War Peter and Professor Eugene. At the competition control center, the God of War Peter, Professor Eugene, and the other upper echelons of the Genetics College used the neural network surveillance system to monitor the entire competition.

When the God of War Peter saw Donna, he was surprised. He really hadn’t expected that the girl he had met in the base city would actually join the Genetics College. However, he didn’t know much about Donna. He only knew that she had never used the gene-strengthening potion and had instead cultivated a secret art from the East.

“Why is she here? Could it be that genes are helpful in cultivating her secret arts?”

Peter’s guess attracted the attention of Professor Eugene, who was beside him.

“Master, who are you talking about? What Eastern secret art is that girl practicing?”

Professor Eugene immediately looked interested when he heard about the secret art from the East.

However, the God of War Peter ignored Professor Eugene’s question. Instead, he was thinking about Donna.

In front of them was a huge screen, which was divided into more than a hundred areas. Each area represented a battle, and the scenes of the battles between all the teams were displayed on the big screen in real time.

No one cared about the competition that Donna’s team was in. Instead, the big screen had now switched to a soul-stirring competition. The other competition scenes were left to the artificial intelligence to automatically check. If anything exciting happened, they would automatically be reminded.

Barker looked at the large screen. The two teams on the screen had already begun a fierce and exciting battle. This was a match between two opponents who should not have met in the first round.

The showdown reached a climax from the start. Due to the fact that their team members’ strength ratings were slightly lower, the fourth team became the hunted. However, they were clearly not used to being hunted. Thus, they immediately launched a counter hunt after entering the competition and began an intense battle with the other teams.

This kind of confrontation should have appeared in the finals. Many instructors felt that it was a pity. The two teams that could have obtained the top three places in the competition had met in the first round. No matter how exciting the competition was, it could not prevent one side from being eliminated.

Professor Eugene looked at the large screen and could not help but mutter some words of regret.

“This is really a pity, but these are the rules. No one can change them. However, this is a true war. In a true war, no one can fully control the war. Who knows what will happen? Who knows when the final battle will occur?”

In countless cases of war, countless examples demonstrated the fact that war was filled with uncertainty.

The people watching the battle were all people who had experienced the harsh conditions of war. This was also why they did not take any measures to prevent this kind of grouping. After all, accidents were inevitable in war. Thus, people had to get used to this kind of accidents.

A war without accidents did not exist. A war would only be called a war if there were accidents. Although these spectators felt that it was a pity for the results of this drawing of lots, no one felt that it was unfair. After all, there was no such thing as fairness in a war.

Professor Eugene also felt that this was a big pity. Thus, he paid more attention to this match. Meanwhile, everyone looked at the large screen as well. The competition had already begun, but the audience simply ignored the battles that Donna and many other teams were involved in. After all, those matches were carried out very normally and calmly. Thus, the artificial intelligence did not detect anything that could attract attention.

According to the rules of the competition, Donna and her teammates would enter the competition area thirty minutes earlier. Thirty minutes later, Thomas’s team followed and began the hunting operation.

However, Thomas had no interest in such a cat-and-mouse game. He didn’t even bother to think about it. Instead, he took the lead and rushed into the competition area at lightning speed. In his opinion, he would finish the battle in thirty minutes, maybe even less, and kill all of these guys.

Those guys were really a bunch of weirdos. Even though they had disguised themselves, they still clearly escaped. Upon seeing this, Thomas wanted to laugh.

In his opinion, if it were him, he would simply choose to admit defeat immediately when faced with such a competition that provided rewards. This would save him a lot of trouble.

However, this bunch of people clearly did not intend to give up. They had chosen to continue participating in the competition, but they actually did not admit defeat voluntarily. Instead, they were seriously disguising themselves. What a bunch of laughable people.

The competition area was filled with lush trees that blotted out the sun. As a result, it was a little dark. The ground was filled with weeds, and there was no path at all. The sound of running water could be heard from afar. There might be a violent current flowing through.

Thomas stood in the forest and looked deep into the woods. There was a lazy and mocking smile on his lips. Then, he looked back at his teammates, who were already thousands of meters away from him.

He could not get anything from this bunch of useless people. Thus, Thomas sneered and rushed out like a leopard. He easily found the traces left by the other party and ran along the traces left by Donna’s team. Soon, he saw a running figure.

At this moment, the higher-ups who had been watching the competition were also surprised by Thomas’s speed.

“Oh my god, Thomas found his target in less than ten minutes…”

“After encountering such an opponent, those few commoner students actually did not forfeit. This is quite interesting…”

The God of War Peter sat in the stands without showing any emotion on his face. He had been paying attention to Donna and would not even look at Thomas’s performance.

A rich kid who had been genetically enhanced in advance was not worthy of the God of War Peter’s attention.
