Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction-Chapter 8

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, the Genetic Warriors who were sitting together and resting heard the mockery from the Mecha Warriors.

However, they did not retaliate.

That was because they were mocked by the Mecha Warriors every day.

They were already used to it.

It would be a lie to say that they weren’t angry, but reality was like this.

When fighting against mutated creatures, mechas were both defensive and offensive forces.

None of the Genetic Warriors could compare to them.

At this moment, the leader of the Genetic Warriors team was present.

His name was Eric.

He could not be bothered with the taunts from the Mecha Warriors and was using his healing bag to treat his wounds.

Beep beep beep!

A call request sounded from the smart device that Eric wore on his arm.

After he answered the call, he heard a hurried male voice.

“Eric! Quickly check the Newcomer Combat Power Rankings! Your first place spot was taken over by a newcomer.”

“What? Who is it?”

Eric had graduated from the Genetics College a year ago and was now a D-Grade Genetic Warrior under the Federation.

The first place on the Newcomer Rankings was the record he had set when he first entered the Genetics College.

Four years had passed, but no one had broken his record.

“The newcomer who broke your record is called Peter!”

“You really should see the data he challenged you with…”

When Eric challenged the Newcomer Rankings back then…

His power had reached over 1,500kg.

This was almost the power limit that newcomers could achieve.

Thus, Eric was very curious too.

How much power could a newcomer who had successfully broken his record have?

Could they have a power of 1,600kg?

Could they have a power of 1,800kg?

They couldn’t possibly reach a power of 2,000kg, right!

Out of curiosity, Eric used the virtual interface projected from his smart device to search for the Newcomer Combat Power Rankings.

As Eric opened the Newcomer Combat Power Rankings, he read out the name of the person who had ranked first place.

“Ranked first on the Newcomer Combat Power Rankings, Peter. Combat Power Value…”

“19,324!”

When Eric saw that the first place had a combat power value of 19,324, his first thought was that he was seeing things.

He clearly remembered that his combat power value when he challenged the Newcomer Rankings was…

A total of 12,149!

This newcomer called Peter actually had a combat power value that was 7,000 higher than his.

At that moment, Eric was a little dazed.

Back then, his combat power value had reached 12,149 because his neurological response quotient had reached four stars.

Four stars corresponded to a combat power value of 9,000.

If he didn’t have the bonus combat power value of 9,000, his total combat power value might not even reach 10,000.

It was also because Eric’s neurological response quotient was four stars that when he later fought with mutated creatures…

He was able to resolve several dangers and survive until now.

When he saw that Peter’s combat power value had reached an astonishing 19,324…

He had realized something.

Thus, Eric immediately selected Peter’s name and checked the various data from his challenge.

[Peter]

Power: 7,254kg…

Speed: 20.7m/s…

Neurological Reaction Quotient: Five Stars…

Newcomer Ranking Combat Power Value: 19,324!

“Power… 7,254kg!”

“Is… is he still human!?”

Eric was simply dumbfounded when he saw Peter’s challenge data.

After all, even as a D-Grade Genetic Warrior…

His power was only 3,572kg.

Meanwhile, Peter was still a newcomer, but his power was actually more than double that of Eric’s.

It was such a blow.

No one could accept this.

For the Locke II mechas, which were the model with the highest number of mechas currently serving in the Federation…

Without counting the firearms they equipped, just their physical attacks alone had a power of around 10,000kg.

Meanwhile, Peter’s power was very close to that of the physical attacks of the mechas.

Most importantly, he was a newcomer.

He was a student who had not been genetically enhanced.

Just the thought of it was terrifying.

At that moment, Eric was in a daze.

As a result, his body was stiff as he sat on the ground without moving.

This unusual move not only attracted the attention of the other Genetic Warriors.

It also attracted the curiosity of the Mecha Warriors nearby.

“Look at that Eric, why is he in a daze…”

“Haha, he can’t be in despair because of our mockery, right?”

“Hey! Cleaners, your captain must have been angered silly…”

However, the Mecha Warriors saw that Eric still showed no reaction.

Their playful hearts were activated. They actually aimed their laser weapons, which had been equipped to their mechas, at Eric.

“Target locked!”

“Laser charge complete!”

When they heard the intelligent voice from the mechas…

The Genetic Warriors beside Eric looked furious.

This bullying was too much!

Thus, they woke Eric up immediately.

“Captain, stop daydreaming!”

“Those damn Mecha Warriors are locking onto you with their laser weapons.”

Eric woke up with a start and immediately tried to dodge.

This was a display of his outstanding neurological response quotient.

However, in the eyes of the Mecha Warriors, Eric’s dodging movements were comical. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“Haha, Eric, your reaction speed is really impressive. You’re very professional at escaping.”

“You guys!”

Eric was fuming.

This was the situation of the Genetic Warriors on the battlefield.

They were all fighting for the survival of mankind.

However, the Genetic Warriors, who were not as powerful as the Mecha Warriors, became the target of mockery and teasing.

Eric stared intently at the Mecha Warriors opposite him.

Then, he suddenly realized that if the guy named Peter grew…

Would he be able to change the situation that the Genetic Warriors were in?

He was looking forward to it.

Eric had only one thing to do now.

He wanted to take Peter’s data from his Newcomer Rankings challenge…

… and send them to the Federal Genetic Warrior Command.
