Chapter 602: No One Can Beat Cheng Tian's Clothes
The SNK booth, compared to the Sony PS area where he was, was only about a third of the size of the main competition area. Its booth number was G801, but it still looked quite exquisite.
It was clear that SNK's promotional focus was on the latest release this year, "Fatal Fury: Garou: Mark of the Wolves." Although there were only a few playable machines since it had already been released, the screen for Fatal Fury was the largest among the games inside.
Besides Fatal Fury, one could also see The King of Fighters XV, and an enormous The King of Fighters '97 arcade cabinet.
It was evident that this oversized cabinet was scaled up seven or eight times from a regular cabinet, with the joystick, buttons, and screen all being Ogre-sized. However, to allow normal players to play, two standard 1P and 2P button layouts were still provided at the bottom.
The King of Fighters '97, which was considered very unbalanced in terms of combat power by others, held a very special status in his country.
As long as it was an arcade, it might not have any other games, but The King of Fighters '97 absolutely had to be there.
These were basically all the playable games; anything else was promotional material.
One could see Kyo Kusanagi from Kagerou, Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown, adorable life-sized standees of Kula, and an entire wall mural of Metal Slug.
It depicted Marco and Tarma of the Peregrine Falcon Squad, Fio and Eri of the Sparrows Unit, Hyakutaro Ichimonji and other prisoner-spies lurking in enemy territory, various gun packs, and—
—the same War Elephant mount that made Mammoth, who was following Cheng Tian's perspective in the Void Garage to view the exhibition, let out joyful chirps.
No, rather than saying it was the same model, it was more accurate to say that the elephant in the mural was actually Mammoth himself, because in the official Metal Slug series, the War Elephant only appeared in "Metal Slug 3," which was the one Cheng Tian raised.
If Cheng Tian hadn't stopped him, this big guy would probably have already voluntarily burst out of the Void Garage to rub against the wall.
That would have been quite a spectacle!
While Cheng Tian was looking at the booth, a large number of gazes were also focused on him.
Initially, these players were just looking at Cheng Tian simply because of the thought, "Isn't this guy hot?"
After all, his NESTS Advanced Combat Suit not only completely covered his entire body, but in non-combat mode, it also looked quite similar to a clergyman's attire, with a large cloak and a hood that obscured his entire face. Paired with the bustling venue, just one glance was enough to make people feel hot to the point of fainting.
But when Cheng Tian took over the 1P joystick of the oversized The King of Fighters '97 cabinet and the Combat Suit switched from non-combat standby to combat form, the cape and skirt automatically flared open as if by an unseen wind, revealing its true appearance.
"Holy crap! Igniz! Are people still cosplaying Igniz these days?!"
Many old-time SNK fans' eyes lit up upon seeing Cheng Tian. Praising Cheng Tian for his guts to cosplay such a character, one only suitable for winter, at the risk of dehydration, they couldn't help but gather around him.
In fact, there were quite a few characters dressed as SNK characters. The biggest hotspot was naturally The King of Fighters, and narrowing it down further, it was Mai Shiranui, who had crossed who knows how many boundaries. But choosing to cosplay Igniz... this might be the only one on the entire internet!
"How is this skirt floating? Are there fans inside?"
"I have a feeling I might not even be able to beat his cosplay outfit."
"He didn't wear a wig or even makeup. This isn't even for cosplay... This is to show off the cosplay outfit, isn't it?! Damn rich guy!"
"Why is this Igniz a female version?! Cosplaying with a girlfriend is too ugly!"
A group of people began to openly and secretly criticize Cheng Tian and gnash their teeth. The topics basically revolved around Cheng Tian's Combat Suit and Bazett, who stood beside him with a straight back.
One old-timer was right, Cheng Tian was here to show off his gear!
Although the chain blades and Lightning Fist and other skills attached to the Combat Suit could not be used, the basic built-in features remained unchanged, including the combat data of other fighters collected previously. Even on someone completely ignorant of martial arts, it could grant them top-tier combat instincts.
Moreover, unlike Krizalid's primary and Zero's intermediate Combat Suits, which required manual control, the battle suit on Cheng Tian itself was a weapon. The skirt with four pendant-like components was a dangerous item capable of delivering rapid, close-range, continuous strike techniques similar to ORAORA and MUDAMUDA!
If Cheng Tian had worn this outfit directly into the venue earlier, he might not have even passed security... On a side note, if someone were to maliciously attack Cheng Tian at this moment, Cheng Tian might not even have to move himself; the Combat Suit would simply flare its skirt and directly swat the person away!
Of course, with Bazett by his side, no one in this world could achieve such a feat anyway.
However, unlike when Bazett was surrounded by others before, the number of onlookers did not decrease, but no one dared to come forward to ask for photos.
For some unknown reason, an indescribable aura enveloped Cheng Tian, allowing the onlookers to almost tangibly feel the presence of something called "aura." It was this aura that made it difficult for them to speak freely.
Cheng Tian, who had no idea the problem was actually with him, was actually a bit puzzled.
Why isn't anyone coming to take a photo with me? Is my gear not good-looking?
Cheng Tian's bare mental attribute had already exceeded 65 points, making him a genuine psychic even without any skill enhancements. Not to mention he also possessed a mutated prefrontal lobe and an almost insurmountable absolute control ability over humanoid creatures. Even his subtly emanating mental power would make people feel an instinctive reverence, or outright fear.
It was almost equivalent to the bloodline suppression of a higher species over a lower species.
Coupled with the Combat Suit's default aura amplifier, which was originally designed to make "Igniz" a god, if he didn't deliberately restrain himself, it would be genuinely difficult for ordinary people to muster the courage to interact normally with Cheng Tian.
When Cheng Tian flung his cloak and left the SNK booth, many people simultaneously let out a huge sigh of relief, as if something heavy had been lifted from them. Afterward, they couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of confusion.
Cheng Tian, whose brows subtly twitched, also took in their reactions through a mental scan and then somewhat understood what was going on.
As Cheng Tian deliberately suppressed it, the oppressive aura, amplified by the Combat Suit, finally receded.
However, Cheng Tian's attention had now been drawn to a very peculiar small stall next to SNK.
A person in a red and blue cosplay outfit was taking the pulse of another cosplayer, then began to write and draw furiously. Above his head hung a plaque that read—
Eientei Free Clinic.
