Ma Liu sighed, and then said to Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, your wisdom has already explained your role, and for Second Lieutenant Kira, your existence is also indispensable. It's hard to believe that before, it was just Kira, who officially entered the battle for the second time, was able to survive against four Gundams with only the Archangel and Captain Mu in check. He also showed amazing combat capabilities and defeated the Duel Gundams. All of this Just because, Mr. Xiao, you were seriously injured and unconscious."
Xiao Ran asked with surprise: "Huh? The second battle, you mean the encounter from Heliopolis to Artemis? Kira defeated the Duel Gundam? Where is the Holy Shield? "
"That's right." Ma Liu nodded affirmatively and said, "Although Holy Shield's actions are a bit strange, I cannot deny the influence you have on Second Lieutenant Kira, Mr. Xiao."
"Unbelievable." Xiao Ran shook his head in shock and thought to himself: "The impact of early seed explosion is so great? In the original plot, it was entirely because of Mu's sneak attack and the lack of energy in the Holy Shield and other machines that the Archangel escaped. Yes, Aslan also helped Kira at the critical moment, but now Kira can actually explode with such fighting power, and the speed of growth is really terrifying."
Xiao Ran took a deep breath and calmed down a little: "Miss Lamias, you have told me so much, it would be too much for me not to agree to your request, but I also hope that you Can you agree to a small condition?"
Ma Liu nodded and said, "Please tell me."
Xiao Ran said slowly: "There is no problem in joining the Archangel, but I only admit that I am a member of the Archangel, and will not admit that I am a member of the Earth United Army. I have no good impression of the Earth United Army, even compared to Zaff. I am even more disgusted. To be honest, as for the entire Earth Army, I only have a good impression of the ship Archangel and the members on it."
Ma Liu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "There is no problem. The Archangel is originally a separate establishment, and under the current situation, it cannot communicate with the larger army. Your identity will be the same as Lieutenant Kira and the others. As a Arrangements were made by conscripting troops under special regulations regarding the Archangel.”
"Thank you very much." Xiao Ran smiled. At this time, the Archangel had not yet betrayed the Earth Army, so he didn't know if it would be counted as a separate force. The reason why Xiao Ran said what he said before was because he wanted to Give it a try and see if just becoming a full member of the Archangel counts as mission accomplished.
"Well." Ma Liu smiled at Xiao Ran and said: "Since you have joined the Archangel, it is a bit inappropriate to call you Mr. Xiao Ran. With your ability, I can only let you take the responsibility now. At the level of sergeant, I will be responsible for the fire control and staff officer of the bridge for the time being. Do you think it’s okay?”
"No problem, Captain." Xiao Ran smiled slightly.
"Ding, main mission 2: Choose to join a force in this world within ten days, and learn mecha operating techniques within one month, and reach D level."
"The faction you have chosen is: member of the Earth Alliance Archangel, class sergeant. Mecha operating skills: D level. The mission can be completed. Do you want to complete the mission? Yes/No."
The sudden appearance of the prompt made Xiao Ran smile in his heart, but at this time, he could not carefully check the text in the watch in front of Ma Liu, so he put it aside for the time being. However, Xiao Ran still put the prompt in the prompt, Earth United Army Archangel like this The words are firmly engraved in my heart.
Afterwards, Ma Liu told Xiao Ran about the recent arrangements of the Archangel, and then asked Xiao Ran to rest and recuperate before leaving. However, before leaving, he also took a deep look at Xiao Ran, his eyes seemed to have a different kind of look, but Xiao Ran, whose attention was completely focused on other places, did not notice Ma Liu's situation at all, and smiled. After sending Malu out of the room, he leaned on the bed.
I opened the task reminder on my watch and looked at the text on it over and over again.
"Member of the Earth Alliance Archangel, rank sergeant, you can freely choose whether to complete the mission." Xiao Ran looked back and forth several times, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously: "Although the Earth Alliance in front of the Archangel The word "military" makes me a little uncomfortable, but I have long thought that the current Archangel cannot be regarded as an independent force at all. As long as you can become a member of the Archangel, you will become a member of the Orb Archangel and become an independent force. It’s not impossible for Angel members.”
"Class sergeant, the level of mecha control skills, and the freedom to choose whether to complete the mission. It seems that the second main mission also has hidden rating rewards." Xiao Ran touched his chin and thought in his mind: "I just don't know what I am doing now. What rating will D-level driving skills and sergeant level be after completing the mission? Ten days to join the camp, one month to reach D-level driving skills, a total of forty days, excluding the two days when I was comatose, within thirty-eight days I looked like You have to find a way to improve yourself, whether it’s your driving skills or your current class.”
Xiao Ran, who decided to find ways to improve himself within the mission deadline, quickly thought of an excellent shortcut - that is to announce that he can drive mobile suits and can also fight.
The reason why Kira became a second lieutenant was not just because he was the only one on the Archangel who could pilot a Gundam. He was given such treatment. But for the entire Earth Alliance, MS pilots who can be said to be as precious as pandas as special talents can be said to all have high benefits and high-class treatment, just like Kira Yamato, in the second During the battle, he became a second lieutenant of the Earth Army.
Xiao Ran, who currently has universal mecha piloting skills, is only the lowest D-level, but as long as he can operate mobile suits in combat, he is a second lieutenant. Of course, after the United Earth Army mass-produced MSs, only the truly outstanding people could receive such treatment, in addition to the enhanced people of the Earth Army.
"So, if the hidden rating of the main mission 2 is related to driving skills and class, then it should be an implicit benefit given to participants who join the Earth Army. But if the time to complete the task is not right, then this hidden benefit The sexual benefits are equivalent to no more.”
Of course, these things are all inferred by Xiao Ran based on the ratings that appeared after completing the main mission one, the sergeant rank that appeared in the mission prompts, and the independent completion of the mission and the association with the plot. According to the inference of the plot, Xiao Ran has The reason is to believe that since joining the Earth United Army can get implicit evaluation benefits, the difficulty of the final main mission three will naturally rise sharply.
It is very likely that they are relying on a weak military strength, with only a few or a dozen mobile suits, or that more than half of the participants have chosen the Earth Army, resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of MSs fighting against other forces. After Xiao Ran thought about this situation, he could almost determine the location of the third main mission.
Xiao Ran pondered: "If there are no accidents, the third main mission should be at the time when ZAFT attacks Alaska. In the entire main storyline of Gundam SEED, before the Earth Army has mass-produced MS and narrowed the gap with ZAFT. , and only that battle will involve all aspects, and make it more difficult for the Earth Army participants who have received hidden benefits, so it only makes sense that the Earth Army participants can obtain hidden benefits."
After understanding this, Xiao Ran felt much more relaxed as if he had lost a heavy burden. Although he was not completely sure that the third main mission was what he thought, it certainly wouldn't be too far off.
Xiao Ran, who had no worries, practiced peacefully for a few days. He chatted with Kira and the others every day, or went to the bridge to learn fire control, etc. The injuries on his body were gradually getting better, at least from now on. From the outside, it was completely invisible that Xiao Ran had been seriously injured not long ago.
As time goes by, the time to Junius 7 is getting closer and closer every day. Xiao Ran's heart is also full of expectations. He is looking forward to the first encounter between Kira and Lux, and is also looking forward to himself and Lux. After meeting Lux, Xiao Ran was quite interested in this singer who had mixed praise and criticism.
In addition to doing these things, Xiao Ran mostly spent time in the Gnaku of the preparation class. In Gnakuli, there are training equipment that belonged to the original Gundam pilots and were used to train Gundam operations. But after those people died and the Gundam was robbed, no one cared about it. It wasn't until Xiao Ran appeared that he saw the light again from the sealed box.
At the beginning, Xiao Ran was the only one in the corner who was familiar with his D-class universal mecha driving skills. After more than ten virtual battles, Xiao Ran also had a basic understanding of his current level, which was equivalent to virtual battles. The level of ordinary ZAFT green-clothed soldiers in the machine, and in Xiao Ran's opinion, this level is just the level of miscellaneous soldiers.
After being captained many times, Xiao Ran also suddenly discovered that his two skills had something new.
D-level universal mecha driving skills: Can operate D-level mecha normally, with a proficiency level of 7/100. (upgradeable)
Space warfare proficiency: LV1, D-level skill. Be able to gain some proficiency in fighting in the universe and initially gain a sense of space. Proficiency 4/100. (upgradeable)
The appearance of two proficiency levels gave Xiao Ran a big surprise. Anyone who has played the game knows that the improvement of proficiency can either increase the power of a certain skill, or it can be upgraded after the proficiency is full. In short, then Just become stronger. A mere 100 points of proficiency is not a problem at all in Xiao Ran's opinion, but his proficiency has increased by 7 points and 4 points in three to five days. This is when operating a virtual training machine, so it must be replaced by a real one. What about machine training
"Then I'm afraid the proficiency will improve faster, and there will be explosive growth during combat, right?" Such an idea popped into Xiao Ran's mind, and then he spent more time on the virtual training machine.
During the battle, Xiao Ran tried terrains such as land, air, space, etc. After a few days, he indeed found that the level he could perform in space battles was almost one-third higher than the level of other terrains. These data are automatically calculated by the computer after each battle.
For example, data such as hit rate, dodge rate, effective operations, etc. Xiao Ran also tried to use Strike Gundam to attack in the virtual training machine, but to Xiao Ran's helplessness, except for the 80% theoretical performance of Strike Gundam, it can only be exerted in the terrain of the universe. It can only exert 65% of its performance.
The first reason is naturally because Xiao Ran's physical data is obviously a bit low, and the second reason is that the D-level driving skills can no longer fully control the Strike Gundam, which is obviously a C-level body.
As for Kira, Xiao Ran learned from the data collected by the maintenance team that it could exert up to 100% of the theoretical performance of the attack regardless of equipment. At the highest point, it could reach as much as 120%, which was almost 100%. All the true capabilities of Strike Gundam.
Therefore, the people in the maintenance team are quite helpless about this. After returning from the previous battles, they will inspect and maintain all aspects of the Strike Gundam, and even make some preliminary enhancements to some parts of the Strike Gundam. Regarding this matter, Sergeant Maddock has complained to Ma Liu many times, but it was just a talk.
One day, while Xiao Ran was operating Jean in the virtual training machine, he suppressed the enemy with his weapon. After he swung the weapon at a high speed and approached the opponent, there was a burst of fire on the monitor and a bang behind him. of applause.
A slightly frivolous voice reached Xiao Ran's ears as he turned his head: "I didn't expect that as a teacher, you can also pilot a mobile suit."
