Chapter 499: Pity? burden? No one knows!

Views:

Jason returned to the study, raised his hand and picked up the phone.

After McCall's settings, only a few calls he entered on this phone can be dialed in, so there is no need to worry about advertising or sales.

"Jason, it's so well written, it's as if you didn't write it!"

Before putting the phone to his ear, the editor Lavin's voice rang out, and when Jason put the phone to his ear, the editor's words sounded like a cannonball.

"There is no need to modify it."

"The process has been completed, and we will publish it immediately!"

"This book deserves a thumbs up!"

Lavin, who spoke extremely fast, spoke for a full minute before stopping.

What can Jason answer

He, a writer who uses the 'transfer method of writing', can only keep smiling.

"OK, thanks."

Jason replied.

"It's over, I'll contact you again, and...forget it, how could 'Ship Slayer' be the author of your house."

After speaking, Lavin hung up the phone.

As for the hesitation before

With 'ship cutter' as the key word, Jason guessed what it was easily.

Or, to be precise, Jason did it on purpose.

He did not hide his name.

He didn't even hide his appearance.

Because... he was worried about book sales.

The main task is: within 120 days, sell at least 100,000 new books, and there is a limit of 'must be purchased voluntarily by others, and each person only counts as one book'.

Even though Jason didn't know about book sales in this world at first, he knew very well how difficult it was to achieve this level of achievement.

And after understanding

Jason knew even more clearly that it was far more difficult than he imagined.

Not just restrictions.

There is still time!

Books need a review cycle from publication to listing. The length of this cycle needs to be adjusted by all parties. If it is faster, it will take one or two months, and if it is slower? All calculated on an annual basis.

Unless some special circumstances are encountered.

It just so happens that he is a special case—

Draft.

Solemnly declare that procrastination is not a good habit!

Letting a group of people wait for him is definitely not what Jason would like to see.

He didn't want to either.

But after the manuscript was sent out, the speed at which people who had been waiting for a long time exploded was beyond Jason's expectation.

According to Jason's estimation, LaVine's call should not come until another month later!

And he needs to use his special status and fame to speed up this process, and at the same time get more curious people to buy this book.

However, not now.

The extra month, of course, couldn't be better for Jason.

"100 days, 100,000 copies sold!"

Jason took a deep breath and silently thought about this goal.

He thinks it should be done.

Maybe a little difficult.

But not too big.

Of course, in order to complete this task better and faster, he will 'cooperate' with the propaganda, and be wary of accidents.

Example: Alien Invasion!

To buy a book, of course, you need someone to do it.

If the people on the ground are slaughtered by aliens, how can he complete his mission

Thinking of this, Jason picked up the phone again, he wanted to ask Cortana about the recent situation of the 'Sabi Star'.

"Hello, Master Chief."

The voice was not Konata, but a male voice.

It sounds familiar, it should be one of the two soldiers beside Cortana.

"Who are you?"

Jason confirmed the other party's identity.

"Master Chief, I'm Crowe."

"Sir Cortana is attending an important meeting. I will tell Cortana the truth after the meeting is over."

After the other party revealed his identity, he said so.

"OK."

Jason nodded.

He didn't ask the other party what kind of meeting it was.

With the habit of the opponent's military background, it is impossible to tell him this.

Just wait quietly.

But to Jason's surprise, the wait was much longer than expected.

The next afternoon, amidst the sound of the helicopter's propellers, the three of John, who were practicing the 'Glory of Silver' sword skills and seals, stopped in the courtyard. They put their swords aside and looked at the slowly descending helicopter. airplane.

In other words, they all looked at the container hanging under the helicopter.

They were guessing what was in the container.

boom!

With a heavy muffled sound, the helicopter landed after the container landed outside the courtyard.

Cortana jumped off the plane.

"Hi, Cortana."

McCall greeted with a smile.

"Good afternoon, McCall, and John, Brian."

Konata responded with a smile.

However, there was an unconcealable sense of fatigue in his expression.

"Where's the Master Chief?"

Cortana asked.

"Reading in the living room, you just go in."

After a few contacts, Cortana can be regarded as "half of her own person". As long as the core of the "fortress" is not touched, the three of John will not stop it.

After nodding to the three of John, Cortana pushed the door and walked into the ground building of the 'fortress'.

When the helicopter landed, Jason put down the "Compendium of Ground History" in his hand, got up and poured a cup of espresso for Cortana.

He was very grateful to the female adjutant.

Without the other party, he estimated that this main mission would fail with a high probability.

And this was the last thing he wanted to see.

Although it is not stated clearly in the notes, what will happen to the failure.

But Jason instinctively felt that that was definitely not something he was willing to bear.

"Good afternoon, Master Chief."

After entering the room, Cortana greeted Jason.

It seemed to be the same as usual, but Jason's extraordinary perception keenly noticed that Konata's tone was a little cold, and then he didn't even look at the coffee on the table, and said in a formulaic way: "Master Chief, your enhanced elite type Thor's Hammer armor has arrived, please sign for it, and record your fingerprints and voice."

With that said, Cortana took out a price similar to a car key, and placed it in front of Jason together with the documents that needed to be signed.

He picked up the document and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, Jason raised his hand and signed the document.

"Cortana, what happened?"

Jason asked as he handed the document to the female adjutant.

"No."

Cortana replied.

But only a second later, the female adjutant spoke again.

"Master Chief, please pay attention to your image."

"Although you are a non-staff, you should also have your own stand."

Listening to Konata's words, Jason became more and more surprised.

what happened

Did he do something inappropriate

"What happened?"

After thinking about it, Jason asked directly without understanding.

Then, he saw Cortana's cheeks flushed suddenly, she stood up a little emotionally, and opened her mouth to say something, but then, the female adjutant closed her mouth again.

Cortana sat back on the sofa again.

The expression on his face was as calm as possible.

However, the bottom of her heart was constantly rippling.

She wanted to say something, but she found that she didn't have any position to say anything at all.

Do you want to let yourself admit that she has a crush on Jason

Jason is not allowed to touch other women

This is completely unreasonable.

What's more, she and him were originally the relationship between the liaison officer and the master chief.

Damn it!

Obviously I came first!

The female adjutant was thinking from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help being a little annoyed, but she suppressed her anger, said with a straight face, in a formulaic tone: "A week later, the main ship Qilin will be lifted off again, accompanied by those who returned to the ground before." Healing veterans and first recruits — that was a big part of our previous meeting, and we need to motivate the rest of the recruits in the same way that we have."

"The situation on the moon is very bad?"

Jason asked.

Although Cortana didn't say it clearly, this impatient 'motivation' had already made Jason smell an unusual aura.

"Um."

After a moment's hesitation, Cortana nodded.

There are some things she can't hide from Jason.

As Jason's "ship cutter", it is not difficult to understand these things.

"After a short period of calm, the 'Sabi Stars' began a massive attack on the moon. They seemed to want to avenge the failure of the ground plan before. They not only invested three complete main battleships to bombard the moon, but also In the past three days, at least tens of thousands of soldiers have been airborne every day, and they have begun to attack the bunkers around the lunar base without taking casualties into consideration."

"Our defense system built with bunkers is being rapidly eroded. If there is no reinforcements, the defense system of the entire lunar base will collapse in less than two weeks. At that time, the lunar base will be directly exposed to the artillery fire of the opponent's main ship. Therefore, reinforcements are necessary within two weeks, and must have extremely high morale!"

When Cortana said this, her face became sad.

Jason also remained silent.

High morale can be possessed in a short period of time.

But what about training

How can you become a qualified soldier without long-term training

Just two weeks of training

I'm afraid you haven't even completed the basic tactical training

No!

Maybe less time.

It has been a week since that night, and it takes at least half a day for many recruits to enter the barracks, and the first batch of recruits will follow the Qilin ship to the moon base after a week.

This boarding should take half a day.

Simply put, these recruits have only received 13 days of training at most.

"13 days of training..."

"enough?"

Jason asked softly.

Cortana didn't answer.

The answer is obvious.

According to the assessment standard of the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' for a soldier, it takes at least 12 weeks for an adaptation period and 22 weeks for a training period to become a qualified recruit from an ordinary person.

34 weeks is a complete cycle.

And 13 days

I'm afraid it will just pull the trigger.

"The 300 Spartans on the ground will all go together."

Cortana said so.

"all?"

Jason asked.

"Well, all."

Cortana nodded.

Then, the female adjutant stood up again.

She doesn't have time to stay here for long.

"When the Qilin ship is launched, Your Excellency the General hopes that you can attend."

Before parting, Cortana said so.

Of course, there was one thing Cortana didn't say.

She will also go to the lunar base with the Qilin ship, as the liaison officer between the Qilin ship and the ground.

This is also the result of last night's meeting discussion.

She won't tell Jason.

This is also a decision she has made long ago.

Didn't change for anything.

Just like this time, before boarding the helicopter, she turned to look at Jason, opened her lips slightly, and finally said nothing.

The helicopter took off.

Cortana sat in the back row.

"Sir, there are some things that should be said."

Crowe, who was flying the plane, said very calmly.

"So what can I say?"

Ai Wei, another subordinate on the side, asked back.

"At least there will be no regrets."

Crowe replied.

"Regret or burden, have you figured it out?"

Aiwei shrugged his shoulders and disagreed.

Cortana didn't speak, she turned her head and looked at the ground which was already a considerable distance away.

From here, Jason almost turned into a stickman, and Cortana raised her hand through the window, touching little Jason with her fingers.

There is no temperature.

Only the coldness and hardness of glass.

Then, the distance gets farther and farther away.

Jason transforms from a stick figure into a little black dot.

The female adjutant sighed softly.

"Regrets and burdens, who can say clearly."

The helicopter is gone.

From the ground, it was completely unclear, and Jason lowered his head and walked towards the container.

The three of John had already been waiting there.

"Open the box?"

Seeing Jason approaching, McCall couldn't help asking.

Jason raised his hand and pressed the switch given by Cortana.

Click!

There was a sound in the container immediately, and then the door on one side opened automatically.

"Wow even!"

Brian and McCall exclaimed directly.

Even John looked surprised.

Inside the container, an armor about 2.5 meters high, painted in black, and full of weapons is standing there.

A shoulder cannon is located on the right shoulder of the armor.

Twelve small missiles are concentrated on the left shoulder.

On the front of the arms of both hands are rotating bullet holes similar to Gatling.

There is also a black hole in the palm of the hand, and huge grenades are exposed on the side of the armor opened by the thighs on both sides, and there is even a huge shotgun on the back.

"Big killer!"

John commented.

"Is there a flamethrower in the palm of your hand?"

Brian guessed.

"Jason, what can I do to get a similar armor!"

McCall asked directly.

Then, the three of John realized that the friend standing aside seemed to have a look of disappointment on his face.

The disappointment was fleeting.

The three of John subconsciously thought this was an illusion.

After all, with such a good suit of armor here, how could Jason be disappointed

They must have read it wrong.

"Merit."

Jason answered McCall.

McCall froze for a moment, then shook his head.

He doesn't want to go back.

Jason, on the other hand, passed the three of them and came to the Thor's Hammer elite armor, the disappointment on his face became more and more obvious.

It's not that the Mjolnir Elite armor isn't good enough.

It can fly, it can dive, and it has enough firepower, which is good enough.

but…

It can't be eaten!

At the beginning, Jason once guessed that the Thor's Hammer Elite armor should be a battleship similar to the "Sabi Star", and it should be edible, but the reality is cruel.

Hunger: 65.

Glancing at his satiety, Jason frowned.

He felt that he needed to think of other ways.

Maybe…
