My Ability Is Role-playing
Chapter 511 - 505: Ma Ran’s Past · The Marvelous Game Journey of the Martial God and the Prophet
The current top ten mechas of China were all improved from black technology prototypes obtained from the Eternal Civilization.
During this process, Eldest Prince Li Tang of the Chuanke Civilization also played a crucial role, which is why he earned the title of "Father of Mecha."
The mechas developed by other countries, don’t even think about comparing them to the five official mechas...
Even those unstable models like the "Iron-Eating Beast," "Piyao," "Xiezhi," "Xingtian," and "Mo Ye" could rub their pride on the ground, in a direct confrontation, defeating five of them is not an exaggeration, it’s almost modest to say so.
Russia’s situation is special.
When Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, Wu Di, Li Xing, and Zhang Kuang were on an expedition to the Eternal Civilization, a squad of alien invaders landed in Moscow.
These alien invaders seemed to have experienced a "car accident" upon landing in Moscow, as they all died violently and completely.
They only left behind some mechas that were shattered in the temporal turbulence but not completely self-destructed.
In this aspect, it was identical to the past life, Ma Ran wasn’t surprised.
From the perspective of Earthlings, most of the alien colonizers were strong, but there were indeed those who couldn’t even grasp interstellar travel.
Otherwise, where would Earth have gotten its mechas before rebirth?
It’s just that...
After some transactions between Russia and the Chinese side, their reverse-engineering of the mecha data was clearly more efficient than in the past life.
Even so, the Russian mechas were two grades below China’s first-generation official mechas in terms of strength. Their current top mecha is only slightly higher than the Ninth Rank of Inner Qi Burning Martial Cultivators and not a comprehensive overwhelming force. You could say...
There are pros and cons, each suited to different combat environments.
In Ma Ran’s view, the overall data of the "Koschka" prototype was a bit lackluster.
Otherwise, Ma Ran wouldn’t have looked down on those ace pilots and Inner Qi Masters back then.
Although Ma Ran previously disdained superpowers, believing they had some hidden masterminds behind them, but...
Objectively speaking, the potential of superpowers was significantly higher than the two "Extraordinary Routes" of unmodified mechas and Inner Qi, it’s just that most superpower geniuses died young.
Looking at Su Qiangwei’s phone screen, the settlement page showed the "Koschka." Ma Ran’s thoughts drifted, feeling as if he returned to the "years later" exchange pilot days.
The Slavic friends who showed a friendly attitude right from the start...
Your comrades, whose attitude was bad but were repeatedly rescued by yourself...
Virtually drinking his way into the hearts of shipmates through sheer courage and joy...
There were so many beautiful memories to reminisce about.
No matter what, after rebirth, those friends’ lives were clearly better than in the past life. They hadn’t been wiped out by absurd butterfly effects, and although the alien invader forces were formidable, Earth’s overall situation remained under Ma Ran’s control.
Ma Ran back then was not a secret mastermind, nor did he have ties to the leaders of the time.
He was just an ordinary top-tier genius and an extraordinary star with strength and charisma.
Ma Ran thought he was superficial at that time.
He didn’t like fame, nor did he like being a star. If not for "Little Ice Stick" Li Xing, the second-rate photographer, and the nameless third-rate novelist Dong Huaiming, Ma Ran most enjoyed executing solo missions, smashing various alien invaders without needing to think.
Recalling his previous self, Ma Ran felt that his youthful exuberance, except for gaining a lot of attention, hadn’t really done much to change the world.
Aside from breaking the fastest full-level Inner Qi record, the fastest mecha system ace promotion record, and the world’s number one Enclosure Text achievement, he didn’t have anything particularly special.
Angrily killing enemies, making close friends, and being invincible on Earth!
Sounded impressive, but it was just being invincible on Earth, nothing much to brag about.
Reflecting on those glorious years always brings a sense of emotion.
After reflecting, Ma Ran also silently warned and introspected himself.
While showing off and gaining the spotlight, he also needed to obtain sufficient benefits and progress!
Simply showing off wasn’t advisable.
Looking cool was fine, but he needed to reap the benefits too!
The two had to be balanced!
Otherwise, why did every friend who worked with Ma Ran say he was greedy?
The true essence is seen in the details!
"Don’t just stand there, let’s jump into a game together!"
Su Qiangwei, seeing Ma Ran looking at her with a reminiscent expression on his face, disdainfully grabbed his phone, helping him download the game "Earth Mecha OL."
Including opening the app store, it took a total of eight seconds.
Guangyu Academy’s internet speed was just that fast!
Su Qiangwei’s rapid closure of app store pop-up ads was unmatched, with no redundant actions.
Even so, it took her a full minute to return the phone to Ma Ran.
"You’re such a steel straight man! There’s nothing nutritious in your chat history... ahem! I just helped you register your account!"
The girl returned the phone to Ma Ran earnestly.
The screen showed a black and white-haired young mecha master modeled after Ma Ran, nicknamed "Raging Raging Raging."
No need to look, Ma Ran knew his comrade’s game nickname was definitely the ridiculously cheesy "Qiangqiangqiangqiang."
Seeing Ma Ran looking at her with a meaningful gaze, Su Qiangwei’s face turned red, and she diverted the topic, "Speaking of which, the time flow discrepancy on Blood Mist Star is so huge..."
"With you here, every battle, we can go to Blood Mist Star for a vacation afterward!"
"We can even make Blood Mist Star our cultivation base!"
"If we encounter enemies we can’t beat, we can bury ourselves in cultivation there for a few years!"
"With our talent, with a bit of grit, after a hundred years of secluded cultivation, we could flatten all our enemies!"
Ma Ran resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Without having to walk herself, she certainly spoke with ease.
Did she think space transmission could be used without restriction?
Going back and forth between Earth and Blood Mist Star, the energy consumed was no small amount.
Moreover...
Most of Ma Ran’s strength came from "playing" rather than his own cultivation.
Not using cheats would just be stupid, right?
Ma Ran thought his past self was pretty dumb, starting self-study mode after earning the Ultimate Cultivation Talent badge, and would only remember this "playing" ability when facing tough enemies.
Absolutely foolish to an explosive level!
Ma Ran collected his thoughts, gave Su Qiangwei a calm glance, "So... let’s start directly!"
Having just finished a grueling battle and training on Blood Mist Star, everyone was exhausted.
Now taking the time to play with her, to unwind and relax appropriately, combining work and rest, wasn’t too bad.
The string in one’s mind being overly taut wasn’t good for future development.
