Chapter 205: StarCraft II.6
Whether it is StarCraft 1 or StarCraft 2, Gu Cheng has played for a long time, and StarCraft 1 can even be said to have accompanied him throughout his childhood. As the Terran who Gu Cheng used the most times among the three major races, the number of times Gu Cheng built a command center in the game was even about to catch up with the number of times he played this game.
But "entered" the command center, this is the first time. Therefore, Gu Cheng is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything is fresh.
Especially when he encountered a few SCV robots that were still under construction, Gu Cheng even wanted to ask if he could go up for a "test drive"...... Fortunately, Gu Cheng was the one who was "invited" by Captain Kayl, and the people who were "harassed" by him would not kick him out even if they were speechless.
So, in the disgusted eyes of the people around him and Mo, Gu Cheng came to the central area of the command center.
Although the command center had just been established, the officers inside quickly adapted to the new place, and it seemed to be busy inside. Gu Cheng finally found someone and asked about the location of Captain Kayl, and as soon as he stepped into the central area, a blonde officer wearing a captain's uniform greeted him with a smile on his face!
"Oh! Old high! Ink! My brother! Thank you for saving me from the claws of the ugly worm! You saved my life! I don't know what to say to thank you! "Needless to say, the blonde officer is Captain Kayl Payne, the Master Chief of the Exploration Detachment.
Gu Cheng thought that since Kayl was the "soul" of this team, he couldn't keep any hidden plots waiting for them, and suddenly greeted him with a rainbow fart: "We are honored to be able to help you!" Long before I joined the army, I had heard of the name of Chief Khail for a long time! You are our hero, and without you, we would not have had so many victories! I never dreamed of joining your exploration team, as for 'helping out'...... I believe that every soldier in the team is willing to give his life for the great hero! ”
Captain Kayl smiled heartily: "Hahaha! What to say about heroes! I'm just a senior soldier in the Second Fleet! Come in and sit down, boss, I must thank you very much! Oh yes, judging by your name, you're from the Federal Subdistrict, right? There are few warriors in the Federal Subdistrict who are as brave and skilled as you! ”
"The region does not represent anything, we are all members of the Federation, willing to give our lives for the Federation at any time! For the Federation! As soon as Gu Cheng's words that were quite brainwashed by war came out, he obviously felt that Mo's expression became strange when he looked at him.
If you let Mo say this, you can't say anything.
But Gu Cheng felt that this was nothing, a person who often crawled in society would have skills, if he wanted to seek the greatest benefit, he had to choose to bow his head appropriately. As the saying goes, history is written by the victors, and if you can't stand to the end, even if the defeat is "magnificent", it will be a defeat.
Therefore, in Gu Cheng's view, as long as he can "win", then no matter how shameless he is, he can also try it. So there is the "turtle shrinkage" style of play in Diablo 3 that makes Mo refresh his three views, and there is also the acting skills of Gu Cheng taking S cards in the open world of Resident Evil.
"Excellent! The Federation needs people like you! Captain Kayl said with satisfaction, "By the way, my companion told me that you were the one who knocked the Elite Wyvern out of the sky with a sniper rifle and a gun, and then you were the one who controlled the Elite Wyvern...... Are you trained in the field? ”
Gu Cheng nodded: "Yes, sir, my ambition is to become a ghost soldier, but for some reasons, this idea has not yet been implemented." ”
Captain Kayl nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Can I see your sniper rifle and gun?" ”
Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, StarCraft is a future world, and all the weapons used here are high-end weapons, and as a high-ranking officer, it is impossible for Kayl to take a fancy to his AX338, right? Immediately take out the AX338 and hand it to Kaire.
Kaim took the AX338 and looked at it over and over again, and asked, "You modified this gun yourself, right?" It's rare for the Federation to see such old-fashioned firearms anymore...... Oh, and when you're free, you can check out Quartermaster Monica, she's interested in this old-fashioned modified gun, and maybe she can help you tune it out! ”
"Thank you, sir." Gu Cheng didn't expect that this would trigger the opportunity to transform AX338, and he was immediately overjoyed.
But he didn't expect Kayl to prepare a huge surprise for him: "Speaking of ghost soldiers, Chief Nova mentioned you to me before, and mentioned that your *** skills can be qualified as ghost soldiers, but you are slightly lacking in potential...... Especially psionics, given your current age, it may be a little late to exercise psionic energy again......"
Wait a minute!
Isn't this a career quest?
Gu Cheng was almost happily knocked out by the information inadvertently revealed by Kayl, as soon as he heard the other party say that his current spiritual energy was insufficient, he instantly thought that all the abilities of "energy forms" in the infinite world were divided into "spiritual power", such as chakra in the Hokage world, "internal force", "qi" and so on in the martial arts world.
In other words, the psionic energy in StarCraft is spiritual power, and Nova said that Gu Cheng's psionic energy is not good, which means that his spiritual power is too low to support the consumption of spiritual power of various skills of the ghost soldiers.
Gu Cheng thought for a while, and then immediately said, "No matter what the price is, I am willing to work towards the ghost soldiers!" I hope the chief can introduce me to Chief Nova for me, no matter what, I hope to have a chance to test! ”
Captain Kayl muttered for a while: "That...... Okay, I'll introduce you to Chief Nova, and whether or not you can become a ghost soldier depends on your own strength. ”
"Thank you, sir." As soon as Gu Cheng's voice fell, he received a prompt from the system.
[Triggers the hidden quest - "Division."] 】
A simple word, without much explanation, but Gu Cheng was sure that this mission was very likely to be the ghost soldier's transfer mission, and it had a lot to do with Nova. It is likely that Bainova is the teacher, or Nova is the "transfer officer" of the ghost soldier profession, responsible for teaching the transfer skills, etc......
Gu Cheng chatted with Kayl for a while, and when it was almost noon, Kayl led him and Mo to have lunch in the command center, and then took the two into the conference room in the central area of the command center.
"Yo!" Nova greeted several people "warmly".
Kayl saluted solemnly: "Sir Nova." ”
Kayl, who was higher in rank than Gu Cheng and Mo, did this, and the two had to go through the process and salute Nova.
Nova waved her hand: "Don't be restrained. ”
Then, his gaze swept to Gu Cheng: "It's you, I remember you, on the battlefield before, your two guns were very beautiful...... In particular, the two shots that hit the wings of the elite wyvern used a modified bullet of frozen gas, right? It's a pity that the gun is a little worse, otherwise according to the power of normal freezing bullets, it is no problem to freeze the entire elite wyvern and completely freeze the wings, but your bullet only freezes the roots of its wings, limiting the movement ability of the elite wyvern...... But I have to say that your excellent sniping ability makes up for the lack of weapons, and you have a lot of potential to become a high-level sniper! Come on! Keep up the good work. ”
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment." Gu Cheng admired Nova a little, he had a deep understanding of how much pressure the troops were under in the face of the sea of insects at that time, and he was still cooperating with the large army. But Nova is alone in the face of a Zerg army, and is still constantly supporting everywhere, in this case, he can still observe his attack method, not only that, but he can also analyze his weapons and his own ability, which shows the horror of his observation ability!
Nova smiled and said: "Come on, I am very optimistic about you, if you can return alive from this ghost place, I believe your achievements in the future will not be low." ”
Gu Cheng said straight to the point: "My ambition is to become a ghost soldier, and I hope that Chief Nova can give me a chance!" ”
"Oh?" Nova became interested, sat up straight and examined Gu Cheng, then shook her head: "Although your ambition is very good, it's a pity that your spiritual energy can't meet the requirements of becoming a ghost soldier for the time being. Ghost soldiers have been trained in psionic energy since childhood, and according to your current age, you must have at least 100 psionic energy points to be considered 'qualified', but you are very close to this value now...... It's a pity that it's less than 100. ”
100 spirit power is the threshold for turning into a ghost soldier?
Gu Cheng's level was upgraded to level 11 after Diablo 3, and he added 10 attribute points to his spirit, as well as the jewelry "Ice Heart" and skateboarding shoes to replace two pieces of spirit +1 equipment, and his spiritual power at this time was already 96 points, only 4 points away from 100.
But Gu Cheng is not a "native" in StarCraft, but a Chosen One, and he has great operability in terms of attributes.
So Gu Cheng looked back at Mo and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any auxiliary weapons, hand equipment or accessories with a mental power of +5 or more?" Lend it to me, and I'll see if I can make up 100 mental power to trigger the hidden mission. ”
Mo took off the black ring on his finger and handed it to Gu Cheng - [Khadgar's Spirit Ring, Bronze Level, Spiritual Power +8].
Gu Cheng took it and put it on, minus 1 point of spiritual power from the belt jewelry that was covered, and his spiritual power at this time had reached 103 points.
Gu Cheng looked at Nova again: "Sir Nova, now my 'foundation' has reached the standard, right?" ”
Nova squinted and stared at Gu Cheng for a while, and suddenly her eyes widened, and her eyes were full of surprise: "Huh? How do you do it? Can you boost your psionic energy in such a short period of time? ”
Gu Cheng sighed, pretending to be deep and said, "Don't hide it from the chief...... I was originally born into a fairly wealthy family and lived a carefree life as a child. At a very young age, I had already shown the potential to grow rapidly, but my parents insisted that I was just sensitive or 'emotional' and tried to keep my secret. They don't want me to be drafted by the Ghost Military Academy, or even want me to go into 'military service' too soon...... But until my parents' family was mercilessly betrayed, it all ......"
Speaking of this, Gu Cheng's face gradually became very sad, and he continued: "My ability was still discovered, and I was forced to hide in the crime-ridden slums of Tasanis...... I'm ashamed to say that I joined the gang and became a thug at that time. In order to survive, to avenge my parents and family, I chose a path that ran counter to my parents' desires and became a ghost soldier...... It's a pity that when I went to the Ghost Military Academy, I ran into a ** annoyance, and when that trouble was solved, the Federation was attacked by alien insects! ”
At this time, Gu Cheng, who was originally "sad and silent", became an impassioned orator: "A good man must be loyal to the country!" It's your duty to defend against insects! So I resolutely chose to join the army and become a front-line soldier! However, my desire to become a ghost soldier has never changed, and only by strengthening myself can I bravely face the pain I once had! ”
In the face of Gu Cheng's "impassioned" speech, the surrounding plot soldiers, Khail, and Nova were stunned. Nova, in particular, had an inexplicable glint in her eyes.
Mo is a "light cloud" appearance, first, she has gradually become accustomed to Gu Cheng's unconventional behavior and habits, and second, she doesn't know anything about the background and characters of StarCraft. If it weren't for that, any "player" who knows a little about the main plot and main plot characters of StarCraft, after listening to Gu Cheng's story, will find that this shameless person is completely copying Nova's "life trajectory" before entering the Ghost Military Academy......
That's right, the long-lost editor Gu Da is online again.
"You've lived in Tassanis too?" Nova asked.
Gu Cheng sighed and said in a deep voice: "Yes, although it was an unbearable memory at that time, I did live in Tasanis for a long time. Oh yes, I don't know if the Commander has ever heard of the Ten Commandments, where they all call me 'joke'
’……”
The corners of Mo's eyes jumped...... Are you going the route of double kitchen ecstasy?
"The Ten Commandments?" Nova recalled in her mind that she had been brainwashed to erase all memories of childhood tragedies and most of her long-term memories due to the "reward" she had received from the Ghost Military Academy, but because her psionic level was too high, she would always have some childhood images flashing in her mind, so she only knew that she had a bad childhood and some key place names.
For example, Nova knows that she has lived in Tassanis, but she does not know what kind of life she has experienced.
Therefore, when I heard that Gu Cheng also had Tasannis's experience, I suddenly felt some "intimacy". However, after careful recollection, he did not find any memories related to the Ten Commandments, so he guessed that this memory might have been "cleared".
"Maybe you've heard of it...... Since you have special means to make your psionic abilities up to the mark, it's not impossible for you to become a ghost soldier. However, becoming a ghost soldier is not simple, and you must complete the test! After Nova finished speaking, she smiled lightly, as if she remembered something interesting, and added: "As the most influential person in the Ghost Military Academy, I have the right to evaluate you, I wonder if you have the confidence to accept the test?" ”
[Trigger the hidden quest - "Division" to complete Nova's test.] Reward: Transferred to "Ghost Soldier". 】
Gu Cheng was waiting for this moment, and immediately said without hesitation: "Yes!" Sir! I am willing to accept your test! ”
"In that case...... Let me think about it. Nova looked down in contemplation for a moment, then raised her head and said, "That's right, Kayl." ”
"Yes, sir!" Kayl stepped forward.
Nova asked, "Didn't you detect a new source before?" Is there a scout arranged? If not, let him go. ”
"Huh?" Kayl and Gu Cheng looked at each other "awkwardly", and the former said, "Sir, I have already handed over this task to Lao Gao. ”
Nova nodded: "In that case, then you can complete the reconnaissance mission first!" After all, as a ghost soldier, how to complete the reconnaissance mission silently is the most basic assessment. ”
[Triggers the side quest - "Scouting."] Complete the reconnaissance mission issued by Captain Kair, and return to Kaim and Nova after completion. 】
Nova suddenly thought of something again, and said: "By the way, there is a temporary outpost built by the first temporary base on the way you are exploring, and I just received a distress message from the temporary outpost, but now there is a new battle plan, and I need to go to the new location immediately to complete the mission." There is no time to go to support, but we cannot abandon our compatriots, so I now order you and the fighters of the seventh squad to go to the temporary post to support, is there a problem? ”
This time, it was not only Gu Cheng, but Mo also received a system prompt-
[Trigger the side quest "Support" and go to the temporary outpost for support.] ”
Kayl glanced at Nova and saw that she had nothing else to order, and then said, "Although this task is difficult, we cannot give you more help. But in addition to the soldiers of the seventh squad, I can also call you 6 machine gunners and 2 flamethrowers, which is the greatest help I can give you! May you complete your mission and bring our compatriots back! ”
"Yes! Sir! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
After discussing the task with Captain Kayl and Nova for a while, Gu Cheng and the two left the command center, and as soon as they went out, Gu Cheng said to Mo: "It seems that although we rescued Kayl together, the side quests released by him will be triggered at the same time, but the transfer quest will not." Obviously, it has something to do with the way we both fight. In other words, with your assassin-like fighting style, we can focus on this profession in the infinite world in the future, and maybe there will be a job change that suits you...... Oh yes, there are also 'assassins' in StarCraft, the most famous being the Dark Templar, but unfortunately this class is the 'Protoss' class, I don't know if we have a chance to contact it. ”
Mo didn't feel much about the fact that the two of them saved the plot characters at the same time, but only Gu Cheng triggered the job transfer mission, in her opinion, it was just a personal chance. What's more, as Gu Cheng said, the triggering of the ghost soldier's job transfer mission has a lot to do with the way the two of them fight, even if she also triggers the ghost soldier's job transfer mission, but she will not really choose this profession, after all, the assassin is melee combat, and the ghost soldier is ranged.
…… Of course, when Mo later sees the combat style of a certain melee ghost soldier, he will not feel that there will be a "conflict" between melee and ranged.
