So fast?!

It's only been the past week, and it's been written?

Jason looked at the manuscript handed over by Cortana in surprise and subconsciously took it.

You know, in his mind, Cortana will not be able to write the first draft until next month at the earliest, and he promised the editor that the manuscript will be delivered at the end of the month, so naturally he will have to find a way to delay the draft.

Although excuses such as having a bad stomach, a sick cat at home, and a dog changing its teeth have been used, they can still be used again at critical moments.

But Cortana's speed is truly astonishing.

What's even more amazing is the quality of the manuscript.

Jason sat on the couch and flipped through it.

Almost after reading a page, he was completely intrigued.

Hmmm, mph.

Soon, all that remained in the living room was the sound of pages turning.

It was a full hour before Jason let out a long sigh and put the book down.

How so?

It's the same story, and he writes it like a running account, but Cortana writes it is thrilling and wonderful, and every line of text attracts people to read it, and they don't come back to it until they see the last page.

You don't need to modify it, you can edit it directly!

Jason came to such a conclusion.

Then he thought about his level again-

Sure enough, a talent for swordsmanship limited my level of writing.

Jason thought with certainty, without any negative emotions in his heart.

He knew very well that not even 'gods' could be perfect.

What's more, what about people?

Perfect.

Jason remembers this sentence from his hometown.

Since he has a good appetite, he can't expect a good cook, can he?

"That's awesomely written!"

Looking up, Jason looked at Cortana and was completely honest.

Cortana, who had been waiting for Jason's evaluation, let go of the heart that had been hanging after hearing Jason's words.

When she promised Jason to help finish the new book, she was nervous, fearing that she would not live up to Jason's expectations if she didn't write it well, and that it would affect Jason's reputation.

After all, Jason is a well-known writer.

So, she really tried her best to write, to learn those writing skills, and even used a little bit of her own 'innate ability'.

It made her feel more and more tired.

However, after hearing Jason's assessment, Cortana believes that everything is worth it.

"It's good if you're satisfied."

Cortana laughed.

Then, she placed the metal box beside her on the coffee table.

"This is the 'Spartan Elixir' you exchanged for your exploits."

"Two!"

Cortana restrained her smile and looked at Jason with an extremely serious expression, reminding: "Master Chief, your physical fitness is among the best among all the people I have ever met, but the 'Spartan Elixir' is still dangerous, you must have no problem with the first and second ones, but the third one please use it with caution, you must be cautious!" ”

The adjutant reminded him repeatedly.

Jason nodded.

For someone's kind reminder, Jason will not refuse.

Of course, Jason was also curious about how many people had taken the 'Spartan potion'.

In his guess, the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' should have a special army that has taken 'Spartan potion'.

"Have many people taken 'Spartan potions'?"

"If it's confidential, you don't have to answer."

Jason added.

"It's not confidential."

"Actually, it's a semi-open secret."

"When the 'Ground Alliance' was not established at the beginning, all the governments on the ground were afraid of the existence of the 'mysterious side', especially the actions of the members of the 'Golden Wind', which made most of the governments start the research of 'super soldiers', and the 'Spartan Elixir' is one of them."

"However, taking the 'Spartan Elixir' does not mean becoming a real Sparta."

"A qualified Spartan warrior needs a carbonized ceramic skeleton, strengthened muscle fibers and superconducting nerves, and then cooperates with the 'Spartan Elixir' to be a trainee Spartan warrior."

Cortana shook her head, not refusing to answer, as she elaborated on the 'Spartan Elixir'.

"Apprenticeship?"

Jason was stunned.

"Well, apprenticeship."

"The Spartan warrior also needs the most important thing: the human heart."

Cortana nodded, accentuating her tone.

"The human heart?"

Jason repeated the phrase in a low voice.

Although it was just a simple sentence, Jason was keenly aware that there were some not-so-good stories in it.

However, Cortana didn't say it, and Jason naturally wouldn't ask.

For the female adjutant in front of him who helped him complete the main task, Jason has a good impression.

"Are there any super soldiers other than Spartan warriors?"

Jason changed the subject.

This time Cortana didn't answer, just looked at Jason with a light smile.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

In addition to the 'Spartan warriors', there are definitely other types of super soldiers.

It's just that it involves confidentiality, and there's no way to say it explicitly.

Jason didn't ask before, now? Naturally, it won't.

"How's the national conscription going?"

For a week, Jason didn't know about the outside world, and even if he heard about it, it was only a few words he occasionally heard from the mouth of Kemi, who delivered the meal.

It's grand.

A lot of people go to join the army.

That's Kemi's description, and it's in line with 'just a few words'.

As for more?

That's the benefits.

It's really good, not only does it have a high salary, but the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' also gives the conditions for contacting the 'mysterious side'.

This is a publicly publicized message.

It's available in newspapers and on TV.

And Jason wanted to know some private news.

Cortana didn't disappoint Jason.

"About a million conscripts have already been conscripted."

"About 2,000 of them passed the test and entered the 'Unyielding Copper' barracks in various places, and we contacted the three masters of the 'Silver Glory', who said that they did not have the energy to teach more people, and they all said that they had descendants - although in our sources, this is not indicated."

"The 'Golden Wind' demanded more living force, but was overwhelmed by Rael. General Funo refused, and declared that the 'Golden Winds' would not be allowed to participate in the conscription. ”

"As for the 'Immortal Diamond'?"

"They're still like that, they've been silent, maybe only at the most critical moments."

At the mention of 'Immortal Diamond', Cortana frowned slightly.

If the 'mysterious side' is already unknown, mysterious, and immeasurable for ordinary people, then the 'immortal diamond' is the 'mysterious side' of the 'mysterious side'.

Even the 'Mystics' have a hard time reaching out to the people in that organization.

It is rumored that the 'Liu' who summoned the meteorite before came from this organization.

"There are also those scattered 'mysterious side people', some of whom also chose to join the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' after this attack by the Sabis."

"It gives us more energy."

At the bring, a smile appeared on Cortana's face.

No one knows the value of a 'mystical person' better than she does.

Whether it is on a frontal battlefield or in some small-scale battles, a group of 'mysterious side people' can turn the tide of the battle as long as they are properly arranged.

"Where's the Sabis?"

Jason continued to ask about what he was interested in.

"It's quiet!"

"After the raid a week ago, they seem to have gone into silence."

"Not only are there no scouts everywhere, but even the attacks on the 'moon' battlefield have stopped."

"The staff officers thought it was the calm before the storm and prepared everyone to fight at any time, while the troops stationed on the 'moon' strengthened their defenses and began to build more fortresses."

Cortana's face, which had just appeared with a smile, turned into sorrow at this time.

The existence of the Sabi Star is like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, which is really unpleasant.

"How did the small battleship appear before, has the investigation been clear?"

Jason continued.

"Nope."

"We used a variety of methods to thoroughly search the area, including the help of some special people on the 'mystery side', but found nothing."

"It's like it just came out of nowhere."

"And ......"

Speaking of this, Cortana's voice couldn't help but pause, and there was more uneasiness on her face.

After a full pause of two or three seconds, Cortana continued: "Moreover, a master soothsayer vomited blood and fell into a coma when he was divining there, and he has not woken up until now. ”

"According to the examination of other professionals, it can be determined that this master diviner was interfered with and attacked during the divination."

"And the way of jamming and attacking is not what they are familiar with."

Jason listened, and sat up straight unconsciously.

"That is to say......"

He looked at Cortana.

"The Sabi people should have a method similar to the 'mysterious side', but unlike what we understood, we gradually confirmed this in the inspection of the small warship."

"Because, that battleship seems to be 'alive'!"

"A living being we don't know."

"Although it is mostly metal, we can be sure that this battleship is certainly not the only one."

Cortana's voice was muffled.

This is now the highest secret in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau'.

Why was Jason informed?

Because, Jason once said, he felt that the battleship was a 'living' word.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Cortana found that after she said this, Jason's eyes lit up in front of her, and it seemed to be ...... Swallowing saliva?

Not the nervous kind.

But hunger?

Cortana was stunned.

She felt that her mind was a little out of step with Jason's pace.

Even if those battleships are alive, they can't be eaten, right?

How to eat metal?

Do you put it in your mouth and chew it?

You can't do it alone, right?

Jason noticed the strangeness in Cortana's eyes, he didn't explain, let alone add anything, but asked without a trace, "What about my Thor's standard armor?" ”

Any explanation will lead to more explanations.

And supplementation raises suspicions.

At this time, it is best to calmly ask what you deserve.

Immediately, Cortana was drawn to attention.

"It's in the final stages of production."

"And, because of your performance this time, Master Chief, in addition to exchanging for two 'Spartan Potions', Rael. General Funo has specially strengthened your Warframe. ”

"From the ordinary standard type, it has become an enhanced elite type, and on the basis of the original, it has gained the ability to fly and dive, and it can also fight in the space environment for a long time."

Cortana's words made Jason's eyes light up.

You know, his biggest shortcoming now is that he doesn't have effective anti-air skills.

If you can fly, you will solve this shortcoming.

Even if it is a temporary solution with the help of external forces, Jason is willing.

After that, the conversation revolved around this enhanced elite armor.

From the extra weapon to the base livery, until half an hour later, Cortana got up and left.

"Master Chief, please contact me if you need it."

"I'm always available."

Jason escorted Cortana out of the safe house, and before getting into the car, the female adjutant said.

Jason smiled and nodded in response.

After watching the other party leave, Jason turned around and returned to the underground activity area, picked up the phone directly, and called his editor, Laven.

"LaVine, it's me, Jason."

"Of course I know it's you, I can hear you."

"I also remember the promise you made to me that I would be delivered at the end of the month."

"And now there are 5 days left!"

"Don't use any alien invasion to say that you don't want to write!"

"Tell you!"

"Even if it's an alien invasion and the end of the world, you have to deliver it on time!"

As soon as the call was connected, the editor said in a serious, stern tone.

"Well, I'm just talking about the delivery."

Jason said.

"Delivery?"

"You're done?"

The editor on the other side involuntarily raised his voice a lot, and his voice was full of disbelief.

"I'm done."

Jason said truthfully.

Idea writing is also writing.

When it's done, it's done.

After silently saying sorry, Jason began to think firmly.

"Fax me then."

"Tell you, if you dare to fill in the waste manuscript, I will go directly to you and stare at you every day, either you hang yourself in front of your desk, or I hang yourself at your door!"

Before the phone hung up, the editor again harshly worded, no, it could already be called dangerous.

Obviously, he should have a 'criminal record'.

"Don't worry, it won't."

Reassuring the other party, Jason hung up the phone and began to fax the manuscript.

And during this period, two 'Spartan Elixirs' went straight to the stomach.

Accidentally? Death?

Jason said that for him with talent on the line, none of this exists.

[Swallowing the special potion 'Spartan', judging the ......]

[Judgment passed!] 】

[Strength, Dexterity +0.1]

……

[Swallowing the special potion 'Spartan', judging the ......]

[Judgment passed!] 】

[Strength +0.1]

……

The effect of the first potion is the same as that of the previous 'Spartan potion'.

On the second team, the agility increase starts to fade.

"Have you reached the limit of the potion?"

Jason thought.

This was expected, and it was not a surprise at all.

Jason wondered if he would still have an effect if he was taking the fourth potion.

Or rather......

Will other ways of super-soldier have an effect on him?

With this in mind, Jason faxed all the manuscripts and walked towards the ground.

Outside the safe house, John, Brian, and McCall, with Jason's notice just now, the three of them had been waiting here, and when they saw Jason appear, the three of them immediately greeted each other.

Moreover, all three of them have dual swords in their hands.

The steel sword is the same as the silver sword.

This is made with modern craftsmanship and in accordance with the style on the Livia notes.

Although Jason didn't have any teaching during the week, the preparation was not left behind, and in this week's time, the three of John had already mastered the swordsmanship of 'Silver Glory'.

This is not difficult for the three at the peak of mortals.

The hard thing is, what happened next -

"On Livia's notes, there are two parts recorded, swordsmanship and magic seal."

"Swordsmanship, with your physical fitness, you have already started."

"Now? Let's talk about the French seal. ”

Jason said, and a flash of fire appeared in his hand.

Call!

The flames danced, and the orange-red light gave the afternoon a layer of brilliant color, and also made the eyes of John, Brian, and McCall brighter.

this

It's the moment they've been waiting for.
