Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: The Proud Thomas

After recalling Alice’s words, Donna finally decided to go crazy with everyone. Even if she failed, she would not regret not working hard.

The three of them quickly reached an agreement. Then, Alice went to find Anthony. No one knew what Alice said to Anthony, but when Anthony followed Alice back to the house, he changed completely and became full of fighting spirit.

Thus, the four of them set a goal that seemed impossible to succeed. Over the next two days, they immersed themselves in training. Gradually, everyone’s morale increased and they forgot everything else. Success or failure were no longer important. What was important was that they were working hard. They were working for the goal in their hearts. As a result, their youthful passion began to surge. Wasn’t this how youth should be like?

Many years later, when the four of them gathered again, all of them were proud of their actions today. At that time, they were already the most terrifying existences on the Federal battlefield.

…

Two days passed quickly. The familiarization phase was over, and the groups began to draw lots. Under Barker’s supervision, the drawing of lots went very smoothly. Donna’s team drew a very good result.

The person who was fighting against Donna was the eldest grandson of the Rockefeller family, the most powerful family in the Federation. He was the eldest son of the Rockefeller family, Thomas. He was a descendant of the family who had always been confident and arrogant.

“Young Master, the results of the lottery are out!” After Thomas learned about the results, he simply didn’t take this matter to heart. After all, they were just a few children from a commoner family. Thus, it would be easy to kill them. There was no need for others to do anything. He alone was enough to get rid of them.

Thomas’s teammates were essentially his temporary assistants now. Thomas didn’t even take a second look at these three civilian teammates. He didn’t even remember their names. The three teammates were extremely angry, but they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, they knew Thomas’s identity, the authority of the Rockefeller family in the Federation, and how powerful Thomas’s father was.

His father’s family controlled the largest power sources in the Federation. The Rockefeller family had a mecha army and was usually ruthless. At the same time, they doted on Thomas to a terrifying extent. If anyone bullied Thomas, his family would not let them off, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.

With such a father, one could imagine what kind of person Thomas was. At this moment, Thomas looked at Donna, who was standing not far away, and smiled mockingly.

“This Donna is from the Locke family. She’s actually hanging out with a few civilians. Interesting.”

In his opinion, there was no need to compete in this battle. After all, there was no suspense in this battle since he would eliminate his opponents in half an hour. As for his three teammates, it was better to not have them. They were just three pieces of trash and three burdens.

If he had his way, they could skip the competition, but Barker would never agree to that. Although Thomas was very arrogant, he didn’t dare challenge Barker. After all, that guy was not to be trifled with. Even his father had warned him not to mess with this guy.

There was no other reason. Barker was a Genetic General and the Rockefeller family would not be afraid of Barker. However, Barker worked with the God of War Peter. Thus, the Rockefeller family did not dare to offend him.

“You guys stay where you are and watch me kill them all in half an hour. Don’t move. If anyone makes a move, don’t blame me for being unhappy!”

Thomas arrogantly ordered his three teammates, who were extremely annoyed, but could only nod.

“Come on, poor civilians. You guys are just cannon fodder!” Thomas beckoned his opponents with his pinky. Then, the competition began, and the two teams entered the designated area to fight.

The competition was set up in a forest area. This was a rectangular area that would take one at least 20 hours to walk from one end to the other on foot. Moreover, the terrain of the area was steep, rugged, and full of thorns. There were also various traps that had been set up. It could be said that the area was filled with dangers.

The competition adopted a hunt-and-kill model. According to the rules of the competition, the participating students had to rely on their teamwork to defeat the other teams.

The conditions for winning the competition were very simple. The team that reached the finish line first obtained first place, and so on. After the top ten places were determined, the remaining teams would be eliminated.

The competition had a time limit of 48 hours. After 48 hours, the results and rewards of each team would be announced.

This was a competition model that placed high demands on the overall qualities of the participants. Not only did the players on both sides have to have strong physiques and sharp observational skills, they also had to have extremely strong willpower. If they were ordinary people, even if no one hunted them, it would be very difficult for them to walk out of this forest. Thus, the distribution of roles in the competition was also determined by their overall strength.

According to the rules of the competition, the roles would be distributed according to the overall strength of the team. The weaker teams would play the role of the hunted, while the stronger teams would play the role of the hunter.

This kind of arrangement was also to take care of the weaker teams. After all, their targets would be hiding in the shadows. If the hunting teams did not have enough strength, they wouldn’t even be able to find the location of their opponents. Moreover, the conditions for victory for both parties were not the same. The hunting teams had to wipe out their opponents, while only one member of the hunted teams needed to escape for victory. This was clearly much easier than completely wiping out their opponents.

In this kind of terrain, it was actually very difficult to wipe out their opponents. Other than a one-time chance to orientate themselves and a simple communication device, all the hunting teams had no modern tools to use.

As for the strength assessment, it was based on the overall performance of everyone during the training process. This would be integrated with everyone’s historical data. Thus, this comprehensive evaluation determined the authenticity and accuracy of the assessment.

The team that Donna was in naturally became the hunted team. According to their evaluation, Donna was the strongest on her team. Her potential level had reached Level 3, but it was very unstable. She also had talent in mechanics and medicine. However, these two talents were almost useless in such competitions, so her overall strength score was five.

Meanwhile, Alice was ranked second in Donna’s team. Her potential was at Level 1, and her talent was in speed. Her overall strength score was two.

Next up was Elvin. His potential was also at Level 1. Meanwhile, his talent was in power, and his overall strength score was 1.5.

The last one was Anthony. He had not used the gene-strengthening potion yet, but he was born with great strength and his overall strength score was 1. Thus, the four of them had a combined strength score of 7.

On the other hand, just Thomas alone had more than double the total points of the four people in Donna’s team. This was because he had used the gene-strengthening potion before joining the Genetics College.
