This mission is not the shortest or the longest among all the missions that have been carried out, but it is at least an experience of several months. However, what happened during the mission after returning to Prometheus seemed to be Everything was compressed into yesterday, and the separation before the mission started was still vivid in people's minds. Looking at the people who had opened their eyes from the dissipated light beam, Xiao Ran didn't feel that there was so much difference between them. From a small distance, he just smiled at everyone and waved his hands gently:
"Hey, long time no see. △↗,"
After Shirley opened her eyes and saw Xiao Ran's familiar and friendly smile, she immediately threw herself at Xiao Ran's chest, causing Xiao Ran to hug her quickly and at the same time bear Shirley Lu's dissatisfied words. Knocking: "Asshole, you still act like nothing happened after being separated for so long."
Xiao Ran felt the strength of Shirley Lu's hand and the nostalgia and fatigue flashing in her eyes. He also touched Shirley Lu's hair distressedly and smiled apologetically at Ma Liu who was standing a few steps away. , then lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry, we really can't take risks on this mission."
"I know." Shirley pushed Xiao Ran away and said with a groan: "I'm not that unreasonable. I know that you have to take care of new people in this mission. The strength of one more person will give you more protection. It’s just that I’m a little unhappy to see you acting so relaxed as if nothing happened.”
"Yes, I was wrong." Xiao Ran chuckled and followed Shirley Lu's little temperament to admit her mistake. Xiao Ran also knew that Shirley Lu could indeed be a little arrogant and unreasonable sometimes, but that was just her temper. In fact, Shirley Lu is also a very strong and sensible woman, but after all, this is the first separation between the two of them after knowing each other for such a long time. The worry in Shirley Lu's heart about Xiao Ran's comfort is that they cannot face the danger together. Xiao Ran could still understand his mood.
Seeing that Xiao Ran's attitude was so good, the key was that he had not been injured or had any change in his attitude towards her because of this task. Shirley nodded with satisfaction and walked aside with her hands folded, leaving her time to others.
After this mission, Cruze once again had a different flavor. He seemed to have become more elegant, revealing a faint aristocratic atmosphere that was not there before. Although the disease that had been cured by Prometheus was also Cruze was not asked to take off his mask, and a smile appeared on the half of his face that was not covered by the mask.
Luo also grinned at Xiao Ran and made a scissors gesture to Xiao Ran to express that he had a very good time in this mission. Basak did not seem to focus on Xiao Ran and the others, but looked around. After a moment, he nodded to Xiao Ran when he didn't see what he wanted to see. There was also a questioning meaning in his eyes.
Moses and Billy seemed to have become much calmer, but when Xiao Ran's eyes drifted across the two of them, they were still the same as before, with Moses' smile and Billy's hearty smile. That military salute will not change.
Bobby clasped his hands and waved to Naluo who was behind Xiao Ran. Rukino Saki and others said hello. Graham nodded slightly to Xiao Ran, and then focused his attention on Naluo. Then he showed a relaxed smile.
Ma Liu was as soft as water. After seeing Xiao Ran's eyes, she shook her head slightly and showed a gentle smile. She looked at Shirley and then at Xiao Ran from time to time. The eyes revealed were full of tenderness and longing for Xiao Ran.
Glancing at everyone, Xiao Ran also smiled relaxedly: "I feel relieved to see that everyone can come back safely. This mission is a blessing."
Cruze smiled faintly: "Fortunately, it's not that hard. After all, it's just the first mission after increasing the difficulty. And after all, there are three of our B-level pilots present in this mission, and a battleship of the Galaxy Diva's level is also It is not something that other participants can simply possess, so the mission process is not difficult enough to require fierce battles. However, we encountered many enemies with various abilities during the mission. The battles with these enemies made us rack our brains. Thanks to everyone’s concerted efforts, we were able to complete the mission.”
"Really?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised. Although Cruze said it was not miserable and not tragic, the two words behind it, "working together and racking our brains" also showed that the mission that Cruze and the others performed this time was not that simple.
Xiao Ran looked at the burgundy suit that Cruze was wearing, and then at the other dark blue suits that were similar in style and color. A familiar feeling emerged in his mind, and after hesitating, he said: "Tell me the process of the mission in detail later, but now we have to go to the legion station to meet the new people this time. In addition to the crew members and the people recommended by Nalo Basak and the others, this mission also has We have gained a lot of newcomers with good potential, and we have to make arrangements for them, but we cannot let them die in the mission world so easily."
Kruse nodded and said, "Although some things we encountered during the mission have become a little blurry in our memory, we can still remember the things we have experienced."
It is normal for Xiao Ran to understand the situation and process of Cruze's mission this time. Moreover, Xiao Ran also needs to know whether there are any fundamental changes from the previous mission after the difficulty is increased. It is just about the world itself. Depending on the level of the machine and the level of the pilot, there will still be some inexplicable situations that increase the difficulty. Moreover, Xiao Ran also feels that the clothes everyone is wearing are obviously familiar, and it should be a world that he knows something about. .
Everyone immediately moved to the legion area's station. From the portal in the private living area, they were transferred directly to the legion base without detours. At this time, all the newcomers who came to this world from the 25th Ship Group had also arrived. They arrived at the base and were waiting for Xiao Ran's arrival.
As for the other newcomers, perhaps because of their first contact with Prometheus, just like Xiao Ran after completing his first mission, the inexplicable fatigue in his heart, confusion about the future, etc., after the evaluation is completed Not many people arrived at the base at the first time, including Naluo and Basak's tribe. Except for Ozma and others from the 25th Ship Group, all the newcomers only had three points. One of them came to the base.
Xiao Ran's buffer time for the newcomers was also one hour, so there was no such thing as being late during this period. Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Ran used his unused D-level and level plug-ins. All the components and so on were put into the legion warehouse, becoming what can be said to be the first batch of legion equipment reserves.
This time, he experienced a newbie mission that was not difficult at all for Xiao Ran. He accepted the newbies smoothly and returned to Prometheus after completing the mission. But the novice mission was just a novice mission after all, even in the mission Although the real strength is limited, the execution of the task is still very easy without any difficulty.
But the simplicity of the task often means that the rewards of the task are not very good. Based on Xiao Ran's current real level, all the rewards obtained in this task are of no use to Xiao Ran, even if the machine passed by Ah The same goes for the gn-, a super-class body modified by Naheim Corporation.
So in addition to attribute points, it also includes the body. Xiao Ran threw the components and plug-ins into the legion warehouse without thinking. Na Luo, the Skeleton Team and others all also threw in all the rewards from this novice world, preparing to use these for them. Giving things that are unsuitable and useless to newcomers can also enhance their strength.
For Xiao Ran and others, the useless equipment, components, plug-ins and machines are things that can really enhance their combat effectiveness for the newcomers, including the exclusive machines they obtain after completing the mission. It can be said that few newcomers can get a truly suitable body in the first mission like them, and there are also parts and plug-ins for them to use.
And the things Xiao Ran put into the legion warehouse were not only the rewards from this newcomer mission, but also included Cruze. Graham and others obtained some trophies during this mission, as well as some things left behind from the past. Although these things can be sold for some combat points in the trading area, they will not be sold. Too many. Judging from Xiao Ran's current battle merit points, he would not give up an opportunity to strengthen his legion members just because of so few battle merit points. What's more, after the settlement of Kruse and the others was completed, Xiao Ran once again gained a sum of money that was greater than what he had in 0079. The combat merit points obtained in the world are countless times more. So I don't even care about the merit points gained from selling these things.
Of course, even if Xiao Ran can distribute different parts and plug-ins according to the directions that all the newcomers are good at this time, he can't always give these unused things to the newcomers unconditionally. This is not because Xiao Ran is stingy, but in this way This method will make these new people lose the motivation to truly fight. Although the legion is the support of the new people, the new people are also one of the indispensable conditions for the development and growth of the legion. What Xiao Ran wants is that even if he cannot be alone, he must at least have A newcomer with considerable abilities, not a baby who will never grow up hiding under the wings of the legion.
So just like playing games on Earth before, Xiao Ran set up a method within the legion to exchange points and merit points for everything in the legion warehouse. The better the things, the higher the points or merit points needed. There are no merit points. You can exchange it with pure points, or you can exchange it with merit points if you don’t have points. If both are not enough, you can exchange it with points plus merit points. Points and merit points will be exchanged on a one-to-one basis. The source of the points is The combat points and material measures they provide to the legion in normal missions and legion missions.
Similarly, if you hand in some things that are also needed by the legion, you can also get points from the competition, and you can even put your own things into the legion warehouse or trade directly with legion members. Finally, if any tasks arranged by Xiao Ran are completed, Xiao Ran will also give these newcomers certain points according to the difficulty of the tasks arranged by him. As for other points redemption methods, they can also be added based on future development.
In this way, the legion warehouse will become more and more full due to the emergence of the points model. In addition, some things put in by high-level participants such as Xiao Ran can also give new people the hope of exchange. And working hard to complete the mission, at the same time, because they provide combat points and material measurement for the legion after each completion of the mission, their points will increase, and ultimately these newcomers will have a higher degree of belonging to the legion, until Totally reluctant to leave the Legion.
As for the first batch of items this time, Xiao Ran all adopted the method of exchanging points, and it was still a very low point that could be exchanged. It was the GN- that he drove in the mission world before, Xiao Ran It only marked the ultra-low price that can be exchanged for 10,000 points to encourage these newcomers, but it limited the conditions for the exchange to be a level pilot. As for the remaining two gn-, it will also be in After Luo transformed the thermonuclear energy engine and circuit, he also put it in the warehouse to wait for the top three newcomers who had reached the level of pilot with 10,000 points in exchange for it.
Of course, Xiao Ran has gn- and solar furnace production lines, and there will also be more super-class aircraft, such as V-fighters, such as the Heretic series, etc. However, the price of producing one aircraft cannot be only 10,000 points, so among the top three After the first machine body is exchanged, it is impossible to get the next super machine body at such a low price.
After finishing all the preparations, all the newcomers have arrived at the legion base. If we don’t count the ten members of the twenty-fifth fleet, Naluo and Basak’s ten tribesmen in total, then the newcomers who joined the legion this time There were fourteen people. The reason why only thirty-four people participated in the previous legion mission was because Captain Jeffrey and the bridge trio, plus a tribesman named Nalo who was preparing to develop into a helmsman. A total of five people returned first. Otherwise, including Xiao Ran, Na Luo, and El Elf, there would actually be thirty-nine people participating in the mission.
It was the first time for the newcomers to come into contact with the world of Prometheus, and it was also the first time to come into contact with something like Legion, so they didn’t find anything inappropriate about the empty appearance of the Legion’s station. In fact, it was just the one that could enter hyperspace. The portal in the fortress world is enough to shock these newcomers.
Especially when Xiao Ran spent some battle merit points to purchase some material measures and converted the rewarded legion drawings into physical objects, when he saw that there were not too many in the warehouse, the ultra-low points were almost equal to free, and it was enough for them. After redeeming the parts and plug-ins, the newcomers truly began to have their first sense of belonging to the Burning Legion. (.)
