Ma Liu sighed for a moment, and then said to Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, your wisdom has explained your role, and for Second Lieutenant Kira, your preservation is also indispensable. It's hard to believe that Kira, who was only in the second official battle before, was able to face four Gundams without falling behind under the control of only the Archangel and Captain Mu, and also burst out with amazing combat ability to repel the Duel Gundam, which was only because Mr. Xiao was seriously injured and unconscious. ”

Xiao Ran asked with a surprised face, "Huh?" The second time, you mean the encounter from Heliopolis to Artemis? Kira repelled the Duel Gundam? What about the Holy Shield? ”

"That's right." Ma Liu nodded affirmatively and said, "Although the actions of the Holy Shield are a little strange, it cannot be denied that Mr. Xiao has influenced Second Lieutenant Kira. ”

"Incredible." Xiao Ran shook his head in shock, and said in his heart: "The impact of the early 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 bodies that the Archangel escaped, and Aslan also helped Kira at a critical moment, but now Kira can burst out with such combat power, and the speed of growth is too terrifying. ”

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and calmed himself down a little: "Miss Ramias, you have told me so much, it is too much for me not to agree to your request, but I also hope that you can agree to a small condition for me." ”

Malu nodded, "Please speak." ”

Xiao Ran said slowly: "There is no problem with joining the Archangel, but I only admit that I am a member of the Archangel, and I will not admit that I am a member of the United Earth Army, and I don't have any good feelings for the United Earth Army, and I am even more disgusted than Zaft." To be honest, for the entire Earth Army, I only have a crush on the Archangel ship and its members. ”

Marliu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "There is no problem with this, the Archangel is originally a separate formation, and the current situation cannot be connected with the large army, your identity will be the same as that of Second Lieutenant Kira, and it will be arranged as a conscription soldier in the special regulations on the Archangel number." ”

"Thank you very much." Xiao Ran smiled, at this time, the Archangel has not yet betrayed the Earth Army, so I don't know if it will be counted as a separate force, the reason why Xiao Ran said the previous words is also to try it once, to see if just becoming an official member of the Archangel can be counted as completing the task.

"Hmm." Ma Liu smiled at Xiao Ran and said, "Since you have joined the Archangel, it is a little inappropriate to call you Mr. Xiao Ran, with your ability, I can only let you take the rank of sergeant now, and temporarily be in charge of the fire control of the bridge and the staff officer, do you think it's okay." ”

"No problem, Captain." Xiao Ran smiled slightly.

"Ding, main quest 2: Choose to join a world force within ten days, and learn mecha operation techniques within a month, and reach D level."

"The faction you have chosen is: a member of the United Earth Force Archangel, a rank sergeant. Mecha Operation Technique: Class D. The task is completeable, is the task completed? Yes/No. ”

The sudden prompt made Xiao Ran smile in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't carefully check the words in the watch in front of Ma Liu, so he put it aside for the time being, but Xiao Ran still kept the words in the prompt, the Archangel of the Earth United Army, firmly in his heart.

After that, Ma Liu told Sù about the Archangel's recent arrangements, and let Xiao Ran rest and recuperate before leaving. However, before leaving, he also glanced at Xiao Ran deeply, and there seemed to be a different kind of vision in his eyes, but Xiao Ran, who was completely focused on other places, didn't notice Ma Liu's situation at all, and leaned back on the bed after sending Ma Liu out of the room with a smile.

I opened the task prompt in my watch and looked at the text over and over again.

"Members of the United Earth Force Archangel, rank sergeant, the mission is free to choose whether to complete or not." Xiao Ran looked back and forth several times, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Although the words of the Earth United Army in front of the Archangel make me a little unhappy, but I have long thought that the current Archangel cannot be regarded as an independent force at all, as long as I can become a member of the Archangel, it is not impossible to become a member of the Aobu Archangel when the time comes." ”

"Rank Sergeant, the level of mecha control skills, plus the freedom to choose whether to complete the mission or not, it seems that the main quest two also has a hidden rating reward." Xiao Ran touched his chin and thought in his heart: "I just don't know what my D-level driving skills and sergeant-level will be rated after completing the task." Ten days to join the camp, one month to reach D level driving skills, a total of forty days, except for the two days when I was in a coma, it seems that in thirty-eight days I have to find a way to improve myself, both in terms of driving skills and current class. ”

Xiao Ran, who decided to find a way to improve himself within the mission period, quickly thought of an excellent shortcut - that is, to announce that he could drive the MS and be able to fight.

Kira's reason for becoming a second lieutenant is not just because he is the only person on the Archangel who can fly the Gundam so far. But for the entire United Earth Army, it can be said that MS pilots, who are as precious as pandas, are special talents, and they can be said to have high benefits and high-class treatment, just like Kira Yamato, who became a second lieutenant of the Earth Army in the second battle.

And Xiao Ran, who currently has general-purpose mecha piloting skills, although it is only the lowest D level, as long as he can operate MS in battle, then he is a second lieutenant. Of course, after the Earth United Army mass-produced MS, in addition to the reinforcements of the Earth Army, only really good people can have such treatment.

"So, if the hidden rating of the main quest two is based on driving skills and class, then it should be a hidden benefit for participants who join the Earth Army. But if the timing of the task is not right, then this hidden benefit is equivalent to nothing. ”

Of course, these things are all inferred by Xiao Ran based on the ratings that appeared after completing the main quest one before, the sergeant class that appeared in the task prompt, and the independent completion of the task and then the plot association, and according to the inference of the plot, Xiao Ran has reason to believe that since joining the Earth United Army can get implicit evaluation benefits, the difficulty of the final main quest three will naturally rise in a straight line.

It is very likely that relying on the meager military strength, there are only a few units, or more than a dozen MS, or more than half of the participants have all chosen the Earth Army, and the number of guides has increased accordingly to fight against other power camps. And after thinking about this situation, he can almost determine the location of the main quest three.

Xiao Ran muttered: "If there is no accident, the main mission three should be at the time when Zaft attacked Alaska, in the main plot of the entire Gundam Seed, before the Earth Army did not mass-produce MS and narrow the gap with Zaft, only that battle would involve all aspects, and make it more difficult for the participants of the Earth Army who have received hidden benefits, so that it makes sense that the participants of the Earth Army can get invisible benefits." ”

Thinking about this, Xiao Ran was as relaxed as if he had lost a heavy burden, although he was not completely sure that the main quest three was what he thought, but it would certainly not be too far behind.

Xiao Ran, who had no worries, recuperated peacefully for a few days, chatting with Kira and them every day, or going to the bridge to learn fire control, etc., and the injuries on his body gradually improved, at least from the outside, it was completely impossible to see that Xiao Ran had been injured by Yan Zhan not long ago.

And as time passes, the time from Junius 7 is getting closer and closer every day, Xiao Ran's heart is also full of expectations, looking forward to the first meeting between Kira and Lux, and also looking forward to the meeting between himself and Lux, Xiao Ran is quite interested in this singer who praises and slanders.

In addition to doing these things, Xiao Ran is more immersed in the gnaku of the maintenance class. In Gnacuri, there is a training equipment that belonged to the original Gundam pilot, which is used to train the operation of the Gundam. But after those people died and Gundam was robbed, no one cared about it, and it wasn't until Xiao Ran appeared that he regained his sight from the sealed box.

At the beginning, Xiao Ran was the only one in the corner who was familiar with his D-level general-purpose mecha driving skills, and after more than a dozen virtual battles, Xiao Ran also had a basic understanding of his current level, which was equivalent to the level of ordinary Zaft green clothes in the virtual machine, and this level was just the level of miscellaneous soldiers in Xiao Ran's opinion.

After many captains, Xiao Ran also discovered that he had new things after his two skills.

D-level general mecha piloting skills: can operate D-level mechs normally, and the proficiency level is 7/100. (Upgradeable)

Cosmic Warfare Proficiency: Lv1, D-level skills. Able to be slightly proficient in the battle in the universe, and initially gain a sense of cosmic space. Proficiency 4/100. (Upgradeable)

The appearance of the two proficiency levels gave Xiao Ran a big surprise, and those who have played the game know that if the improvement of proficiency can not increase the power of a certain skill, then it can be upgraded after the proficiency is full, in short, it will become stronger. And the proficiency of just 100 points is not a problem at all in Xiao Ran's opinion, but the proficiency has increased by 7 points and 4 points in just three or five days.

"Then I'm afraid that the proficiency will increase faster, and I'm afraid there will be an explosive increase when fighting, right?" Xiao Ran's mind popped into such an idea, and then the time on the virtual training machine became even more.

In the battle, Xiao Ran tried land, air, space and other terrains, and after a few days, he did find that the level he could play in the space battle was almost about one-third higher than the level of other terrains, and these numbers were automatically counted by the computer after each battle.

For example, hit rate, evasion rate, effective operation, and so on. Xiao Ran also tried to use the Strike Gundam in the virtual training machine, but what made Xiao Ran helpless was that only in the cosmic terrain could he exert the theoretical performance of the Strike Gundam as high as 80%, and the other terrain could only exert 65% of the performance.

The first reason is naturally because Xiao Ran's body count is still obviously a little low, and the second is that the D-level driving skills can no longer fully control the Strike Gundam, which obviously belongs to the C-class body.

As for Kira, Xiao Ran learned from the number collected by the maintenance class that he could exert up to 100% of the theoretical performance of the Strike Gundam regardless of equipment, and it could reach as much as 120% at the highest time, which was almost all the real performance of the Strike Gundam.

Therefore, the people in the maintenance team are also quite helpless about this, and after returning from the previous battles, they will inspect and maintain all aspects of the Strike Gundam, and even carry out some preliminary enhancements and modifications in some parts of the Strike Gundam.

One day, just as Xiao Ran was operating the virtual training machine, Jean relied on his weapon to suppress the enemy, and after swinging his weapon with a high-speed maneuver and approaching the opponent, there was a burst of applause behind him along with the firelight on the monitor.

A slightly flirtatious voice came into Xiao Ran's ears as he turned his head: "I really didn't expect that you, as a teacher, would be able to drive MS." ”
