Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 872 Super Robot Wars Y
Super Robot Wars...

After repeatedly confirming these two terms, Cheng, who reached the above conclusion, was trembling slightly.

This was certainly not fear; rather, he was excited, more excited than ever before!
Humans have always enjoyed discussing the story of Guan Yu fighting Qin Qiong, and this theme of putting similar units from different eras together to determine a winner is not new in the gaming world.

The most prominent example of this is "The King of Fighters '97 MUGEN," which brought together fighting characters from different games to hold a tournament.

The so-called "Super Robot Wars" uses a similar framework, except that "fighting" is replaced with "robot" elements that players like Cheng Tian really like.

However, the scope of application for this so-called robot theme may be even wider than that of fighting games.

At first glance, it seems to be a purely technology-oriented subject, but in reality, robots are involved in everything from modern times to science fiction and the future, to magical worlds and even mythological worldviews.

Perhaps replacing "robot" with "mecha" would be more appropriate?
The core element of mecha battles is to integrate these robots from different worldviews into a single worldview in a relatively reasonable way, and to have a chaotic battle between multiple forces and their robots. This is also what fascinates players who enjoy this genre.

Although a game called "Super Robot Wars 2" had already appeared back in 1991 during the Famicom era, Cheng Tian hadn't had a chance to play it yet. His first real encounter with it was during the PSP era with Generation Z, namely "Super Robot Wars 3: Z Jigoku-hen".

Even though Generation Z has its problems, it still allowed Cheng Tian to have a decent start, which successfully got him hooked on the series and made him addicted.

Based on this interest, ever since Cheng Tian obtained the "Tank Master" skill after completing the Metal Slug dungeon, he had already begun to have some thoughts about looking forward to mecha battles.

However, he knew very well at that time that even the lowest difficulty mecha genre was not something a weakling like him could easily handle, so he suppressed that idea.

This suppressed thought was clearly stirred up again in the "Armor Warrior" dungeon.

If we disregard pilot performance and only consider the lower limit of mobile suit performance, the combat vehicles in the Armored Warriors arc have already met the basic requirements for joining the mobile suit battle. In fact, if the mobile suits were scaled up proportionally to the scale of the series within a series, the main characters' vehicles, such as the Brodia, would not be much inferior to the mobile suits in Mobile Fighter G Gundam in terms of mobility... The upper limit is another matter.

It was after that instance that Cheng, who had gained some confidence and felt that he might be able to make a name for himself in the mecha battle, began to deliberately look for bounty missions in the mission center that might unlock mecha battle-themed instances. After obtaining the "Blazing Sun", he began to search even more closely.

The result was that they never found a suitable one.

However, happiness always seems to slip onto your face unexpectedly... but Cheng Tian quickly suppressed the smile that had been creeping onto his face.

The issue is simply the subject matter of this main storyline.

Britannia versus Neo Zeon means Code Geass versus Mobile Suit Gundam. This is just a general background. Combined with the phrase "the Y-shaped crossroads of fate," it basically points to the latest Super Robot Wars game, Super Robot Wars Y.

Although the term "mech battle" almost inherently implies the high difficulty and unpredictability of the dungeons, the story background involved in Mech Battle Y is among the most dangerous in the entire series, and the overall difficulty of the main quest is probably unprecedented. Moreover, Cheng Tian has a special characteristic: as the founder of the "Blazing Sun Legion," he can no longer join a particular NPC faction when entering a dungeon as he used to. Instead, he will appear as an independent free force.

Without the template's involvement, Cheng Tian would have had a hard time gaining the support of a powerful NPC right from the start... but from another perspective, this might also be a special opportunity.

Almost every generation of mech war games can be described in one word: "chaos"—chaotic power distribution, chaotic resource allocation, and chaotic personnel dispersion.

But as the saying goes, "chaos is the ladder to ascent." Losing the protection of the existing faction may mean losing the bottom line, but it also completely breaks the upper limit. How far can we go depends entirely on the combined strength of Cheng and his faction team!
Based on Cheng's experience, this instance will likely be a long-running instance comparable to the Great Expedition.

Cheng Tian patted his chest, let out a long breath, and his eyes gradually became firm. He then immediately got up and headed straight for the market.

He planned to buy all the combat vehicles that hadn't been negotiated due to their poor cost-effectiveness. Since it was a mecha-themed game, Cheng Tian believed that upgrading the Void Garage would become much more important.

In this way, even if the Blazing Sun is not around, Cheng Tian himself will be a humanoid hangar that can be used in emergencies.

However, things didn't go as expected.

Upon seeing Cheng Tian appear, the sellers who had failed to reach an agreement immediately seized the initiative, decisively removing the combat vehicles from their listings and raising the prices even further.

Their logic was simple: since Cheng Tian, ​​who had previously failed to reach an agreement on the price, had reappeared, it meant that Cheng Tian had a higher priority for their combat vehicles, which was likely closely related to the new main quest. In that case, they would definitely have to spend a lot of money on him!

Cheng Tian wasn't stupid; upon seeing the soaring prices, he immediately realized what these people were thinking and their attitude.

Cheng Tian's blood pressure spiked for only a moment before he quickly calmed down.

He didn't force himself to buy these combat vehicles that were mainly needed to make up the numbers, nor did he try to bargain. He just quietly looked at the sellers who were obviously disguised in size and their ID names marked on the stall, silently memorized them, and then turned and left.

Cheng Tian clearly had no intention of compromising on this point and becoming a ridiculous sucker, so he focused his mental energy on the game master talent panel.

A skilled gamer's talent will select the template most suitable for the dungeon within the applicable range, but as the talent level increases, Cheng Tian vaguely sensed that this talent seemed to respond to his strong desires to a certain extent.

So……

Cheng Tian began to try to pre-construct templates in his mind that might be used in the mecha battle dungeon.
