Chapter 8: The Past
Search for all the generals who died in that battle. The result came out of a total of thirty-one, excluding the generals who served as staff officers in the command hall, and all the rear admiral captains were only eighteen. Munro finally found the general, Lloyd Crews, at the end. Captain of the White Parrot, killed in the first monster contact battle.
White Parrot! Got it! Munro felt like he saw hope for his mission.
Quickly searching for the White Parrot, several investigation reports and public suicide notes appeared on the interface, and Monro carefully checked each piece of information. Finally he found Jim's love letter to his wife, which contained the following paragraph: "Dear Nasha, you can't believe that our former gun commander, Lanu, was a fool who was stopped outside the base by the police for drunk driving and was taken into a confinement room by the gendarmes. Now we can only wait for the newly transferred commander, we don't know what he used to do, we just know, his name is Reri. ”
Monro was so happy, Reri. That's the Captain's name! But he needed other information, and he couldn't just complete the task! Maximizing returns is his motto. However, the following materials do not mention the relevant content, and they are all tactical analyses of the command of the fleet at that time. And the search for Reli is what kind of mechanic Reri, carpenter Reri, but there is no officer Reri! The search was extinguished when there was a glimmer of light. Munro had to pause and think about what to do next. But before he could think of a result, the rumbling of his stomach made everyone's eyes focus on him. He calmly sorted out his things, copied the relevant information he found into his personal terminal, walked out of the library, and immediately quickened his pace after turning the corner. Recalling the scene just now, Munro was a little embarrassed and took the elevator to the café on the second floor to have something to eat.
As he entered the elevator, he saw a woman in her thirties dressed in a teacher's uniform step out of the elevator, which was supposed to be to check the information. Check the information! That's right, the teacher doesn't know everything, she also has to check the information! Thinking of this, he didn't eat anymore, and pressed the elevator to the first floor, the central service hall!
At noon, most of the people went to eat, and at this time behind the light brain was an old lady about sixty years old and a little rich, with a kind smile. After showing his student ID, he told the old lady that he wanted to check Teacher Ma's teaching plan.
The old lady rejected him with some embarrassment: "Sorry kid, you don't have this permission yet." "Hello, Auntie, our teacher asked us to borrow a book, she borrowed it in the library, she thinks it's very good, and she wants to explain it in the next class, but I forgot what the name of the book is, can you help me check the teacher's recent borrowing records?"
Because she had already rejected the other party once, the old lady was a little apologetic to Monro, but now it was just a little favor, and she readily agreed. A book list appeared in front of Munro's eyes, and he silently took a photo to facilitate the search later. After expressing his gratitude, Munro went to the café on the second floor, ate two bites of something hastily, and searched for them one by one according to the names on the book list. The list of books is not short, there are more than 50 books, and the distribution is relatively scattered, such as humanistic novels, geographical charts, foreign newspapers and periodicals, etc. If you want to check it all, it's impossible to check until the museum is closed!
He made a simple list of books that might be related to Reli according to the size of the possibilities, and marked the library where all the books were located on the electronic map, and began to search for them!
Five hours later, Munro finally found more clues. In an autobiographical novel by a female author, the merry lady was a basketball cheerleader in high school, and she was in a relationship with three members of the football team at the same time, one of whom was Reri, but after a while, Reli found out about it and chose to break up with him and pursue his sister instead.
The two met and fell in love, and after graduating from college, Geri chose to join the army, became a naval officer aboard the Parrot, and married his lover and had children. After the bad news came, his wife could not accept the blow and committed suicide by drinking bullets.
A Boston Journal also documented something about Geri, which highlighted his success on the college team and lamented his choice to join the military rather than professional sports.
Moreover, a naval artillery training manual from 80 years ago was found in foreign language books, which recorded the naval artillery training process of the Pacific Fleet at that time.
"Ding, the past before the host completes the side quest! The reward system assists in cultivation once. ”
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task for the first time, and rewarding a spiritual cultivation method!"
"Ding, the system update has been completed, the monster called Dad System 1.0 (referred to as the monster fighting system) is officially launched, the system mall has been opened, the daily check-in function has been opened, the daily challenge has been opened, the personal storage space has been opened, and the data template has been enabled!"
Munro was pulled into his spiritual sea, and he heard a series of prompts.
The size of the system had been reduced by two-fifths, from the size of a basketball to the size of a volleyball, and the shell beneath him had doubled in size.
"How did you get smaller?" Monro couldn't help but touch the system.
"Do you think I've been sleeping lately? Through the careful teaching of your predecessors in the system, I finally understand how to make a qualified system! So I consumed my spiritual power to complete the functions you heard before, and now the personal storage space I built for you is only 3*3*3 meters in size, but this has consumed nearly half of my spiritual power, and I will now teach you the exercises of spiritual power cultivation, and when the quality and quantity of your spiritual power are enough, you can expand it yourself. The rewards for supporting cultivation will only be cashed out at night when no one is around. I've also put some things in the system store that I think you can use at this stage, but they need to be exchanged for mental power. You can find out the other features yourself. ”
Without waiting for Monro to ask other questions, he was sent out of the Spirit Sea. After he found himself back in the real world, there was a light blue system interface in front of him, which was divided into two halves, on the left was his name, health, mental capacity, age, strength, agility and other values, and on the right was a rotating mannequin.
This should be the data template:
Name: Monroe
Health: 90% (mildly hungry)
Mental Power: 2.66
Age: 15
Strength: 1.21 (1 for normal adults)
Dexterity: 1.28 (1 for normal adults)
Toughness: 1.13 (1 for the average adult)
Skill: None
Exercises: Primary Spiritual Power Cultivation Method (Wind Eye Method)
There are several buttons on the top of the template, which are daily check-in, daily challenge, and system store.
And Monro has a feeling that as long as he wants, he can take out and collect things that do not exceed the size of the storage space within a meter of his body.
"Brother is a real systematic person from today onwards!" Monro couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. Only then did he notice that his panel showed that he was hungry, turned around and went downstairs, walked to the cafeteria, ordered a special beef casserole of the day, ate it slowly, and noticed the changes in the data in his panel. As he fills a casserole, the negative state of hunger has disappeared, and his health is slowly rising.
He touched his stomach and found that although he had eaten a beef casserole just now, he was not full yet! When he was about to get up and order something else, he noticed that some people around him were watching him and whispering. As Munro walked forward, they looked away, and when Munro looked over, they turned away from him.
Monro felt like a gorilla entering the city, being watched. But Monro didn't care, and nothing could stop him from filling his stomach right now. When he came back with a bowl of beef noodles, he found that opposite his position was a young and beautiful woman dressed in white-collar clothes (Meng Ting, Monroe's sister-in-law, and the youngest sister of Monroe's father, Meng Xingye).
"Sister-in-law? What are you doing here? ”
"I heard that someone became famous on the first day of class, and his body was perverted, provoking the whole class, refusing the personal invitation of the president of the fitness club, and despising the president of the martial arts fighting club. Now there are many newcomers and old people in the martial arts fighting club who plan to teach you a lesson, and the boxing team of the fitness club also plans to come over to find a field. Now all the freshmen are wondering when someone will be beaten into a pig's head! The beauty had an exaggerated expression, and her words spit out someone like a machine gun.
Meng Luo was stunned, what is this, he didn't mean to look down on the martial arts fighting club at all, although he refused Zhao Jian's invitation, but at that time he had already explained that he wanted to join the mecha research club, and his hobbies were different.
He hurriedly explained the matter to his shrewd and capable sister-in-law, and asked her opinions and opinions.
After listening to Meng Luo's story, Meng Ting crossed her hands in front of her mouth to analyze the current situation.
"There should be a pusher operating this matter, have you offended anyone recently?"
"I've only been here for a day, who can I offend?" "These things all happened in the morning, and in the afternoon, they spread to several colleges and universities around them, and even I, a college teaching assistant, heard that you are the first in high school! Some people from other schools want to come to you to compete for the first place in the body. ”
"I just don't take on the challenge." "If you keep avoiding challenges, your reputation will be ruined, and they will describe you as a bully and a hard waste, so that those high-level teams will have some prejudice against you, and you will be excluded from the selection of new members, and if there is no good team, it will have a great impact on your college entrance examination."
"So what should I do?" "Two ways! First, the strength is strong enough to level all those challengers! Solid reputation for being the first in the flesh! But I don't think you're likely. The second way is to join a team that is not bad before being defeated by a challenger. ”
Meng Ting's words reminded Meng Luo of the invitation lying in his mailbox! The assessment time is at seven o'clock on Friday night, and the location is the Mecha Training Hall.
Four days to go. He couldn't help but pull up the previous invitation and look at it carefully, the assessment subjects are very short, and you can drive any mecha of the same level to last in the examiner for 10 minutes. It seems that I have been practicing my mecha piloting skills a lot lately. He told Meng Ting about it, and he thought she would be happy for him. But instead she frowned even more.
"It's all such a coincidence, and I suspect that the team that sent you the invitation did it in order to force you to join them. Show me the invitation that the team sent you. ”
Monroe forwarded the email to Meng Ting, and he was still wondering what the other party wanted from him if what Meng Ting said was true? Is it just because I have great talent and want to force myself to join, or is there something I can like to be liked by them?
"It seems that this matter is not what I guessed before, this invitation is very rare, you should try it." Meng Ting's brows widened, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, a style that everything was under my control. Monro quietly looked at her pretending to be B, and asked very cooperatively, "Why?" ”
Good question! Meng Ting pointed to the symbol in the upper right corner of the invitation and said slowly: "This is the emblem of one of the five major teams of Lingchuan No. 2 Middle School, and their leader Chen Zhiyue is an acquaintance of mine, I know her character, and I don't care about playing such a trick." When you join her team, she'll protect you no matter who beats you! And you're still my nephew, she's in my face and won't let anything happen to you. And behind her is the Mecha Research Society, if you join her team, you will automatically get the status of a member of the Mecha Research Society, and the welfare resources of the Mecha Research Society may also be open to you"
"My sister-in-law really has a wide range of friends, and I am ashamed of myself." A sycophant is served.
"Okay, you don't want to wander around outside, the province is bumped into by the challenger, causing unnecessary trouble, go back early, prepare the assessment content these days, remember to behave well, don't embarrass me!" Meng Ting naturally snatched the beef noodles from Meng Luo's hand and began to feast on them. He kicked Munro out of the cafeteria and urged him to hurry home.
-----------------------------
As the sun sets, the high-rise buildings in the city's CBD light up with dazzling light, illuminating the central business district of the magic capital, and the huge light is like a torch on the earth, attracting monsters in the dark universe. Hundreds of people are coming and going in the entrances and exits on the first floor, some busy working overtime, others busy leaving work. Munro stood on the city transit light rail train, looked at the strange scenery outside, and sighed at the majesty of human creation. The impact of monsters on this world has penetrated into every aspect of people's lives, and people around them are chatting about the monsters that attacked the port area the other day, and sarcastically being beaten on the door by the officials for their slow response. Everywhere in the carriages of the light rail trains, you can see talk shows interviewing various famous mechists (advanced mechs), and even childcare shows. The dumpster in the corner is also an image of a monster with a long mouth. Everything seemed strange and familiar, and I felt out of place in this world. He first gave birth to the idea of what he had come into this world for?
