Chapter 87: Choosing a Mecha
Anne was a beautiful little girl, but she was very afraid of life, and she had not spoken much since we met, and even occasionally answered in a very small voice, and she did not know what she said if she was not careful. 35xs
Despite this, I still patiently chatted with her, on the one hand, because this little guy is really distressing, and looks very well-behaved and cute, on the other hand, that is, the future is to get along for a long time, it is necessary to build a good relationship in advance, you must know that children are full of uncertainty, who knows when to jump out? Adults can still use reason to restrain it, but children cannot.
Today is the first day of a new arrival on Mars, and there is no training plan, the main purpose is to familiarize everyone with and adapt to the various things here.
There are no restrictions on everyone, as long as they are within this base. As for where you can go and where you can't, the label on your chest can guide you, and the automatic induction of where you can go will be turned on.
If you go outside at this time, you can meet a lot of 'fellow villagers'.
The concept of hometown is expanded with the distance from home, when you leave your hometown and are still in the province, a fellow villager in a city is your hometown; After leaving the province, people in the same province can be called fellow villagers; After going abroad, people from the same country are fellow countrymen. As for now, they have all left the earth, and the people who are also from the earth have become fellow villagers.
However, the relatives in the middle are different, the landers are considered to be fellow villagers, and the Atlanteans and Lemurians are different, they belong to the bottom of the sea and the underground, and the relationship is not so close. And here, they seem to belong to the upper echelons, and we are still in a state of training, and we basically don't have too many intimate relationships.
It is a natural instinct to be far away from home and to be keen to seek out fellow countrymen. Of course, if it's the same country or even the same place, it's easier to get closer. It would be great if your squad was all fellow villagers, and you would soon become acquainted with similar customs, which would be beneficial for fighting side by side in the future.
But this is a minority after all, and now we are in the squad, I am from Asia, Trist is from Europe, Anne is from North America, three completely different places. Fortunately, with the high technology of Limoria, there is no need to worry about the language barrier. Communication is only part of the equation for becoming familiar, and we still have a long way to go before we can truly be teammates who work side by side.
This is Mars, which is different from Earth, where a day is longer than Earth, almost twice as long as on Earth. But fortunately, we are in the underground base, and we can ignore the laws of nature, and here we all operate according to the time cycle of the earth.
Give us a day to adjust, in fact, it's just half a day on Mars.
Can three people go from strangers to friends in one day? Obviously, this is a challenge. Flash Dance. So I wisely gave up this idea, and I hope to slowly run it in the follow-up process.
So I chose to rest, there were no other entertainment activities here, and practicing and sleeping became my best choice, especially after enjoying a big meal just now.
After I sent Moon away, I said a few words to Anne, and then to Trist, and went back to my room as if I were singing a one-man show.
The crowd gathered again, and it was time for us to train. After all, we are going to fight, but we are not going to go on vacation, the previous adjustment and rest is already a luxury, don't think about it in the future, the instructor told us.
"I'm going to show you the real mecha today!"
Moon led us to the warehouse, where he was our trainer. Each team of three had a trainer to guide the training, either a Lemurian or an Atlantean, and it was Moon who led us.
Open the warehouse and there are mecha inside, this is a real mecha, different from the exoskeleton that I have been exposed to before, it is a person who enters it to drive.
"Today I used a little privilege to let you choose your own mech type." Moon said with a lustful look.
The mecha in it has different shapes, the most common humanoid mecha, and there is the opposite sex mecha, most of which are new animals, and there are shapes that are not easy to describe, in short, they are dazzling, for too alternative shapes, I only admire the imagination of the designers.
I was excited and excited, and Anne behind me was just holding the teddy bear I gave her, and Trist was playing noncommittally.
"Choose well, this is the second life that will accompany you in the future." Moon said in a very serious tone.
"Tell us about it?" I said.
"There is nothing to say, choose the model, it has certain commonalities, and the rest can be modified according to personal preferences and habits, such as weapon systems and the like. I'm bringing you here today in advance to give you enough time to build your own mecha. β
"As for the mode of operation, it will naturally be transmitted to you when the time comes."
"Annie, what do you like?" I asked Anne first.
"Can I choose for myself?" After a few days of getting along, and the food strategy, I am finally willing to communicate, but this is just for me, between her and Trist, it is still that timid.
As for Trist, there are still a few words to say, and the rest of the time he is almost in his own world, constantly fiddling with his cards, of course, his skills are very high, like a magician, cards disappear or appear at his fingertips at will, which also discourages me from looking for him to play cards to kill time. Flash Dance.
"Of course, you can take whatever you like." I unconsciously rubbed her hair, it felt so good, soft as a waterfall.
But every time, she slapped my hand away dissatisfiedly, and squeezed her cute little nose at me dissatisfied, snorting coldly in protest. But this look makes me want to kill me even more.
"What about you?" I asked Trist again.
"It's all in the cards......
Trist fiddled with the cards unhurriedly, and with a wave of his hand, a card had been drawn, spinning rapidly at his fingertips. Immediately turned over the hand, the card has been tightly clamped between the index finger and the middle finger, he glanced at the card, and made a decision after silently deducing it in his heart.
"Looks like today is my lucky day, and that's it." He pointed to a mech on the right.
It was a humanoid mech, and it didn't look like anything special.
"Oh, you like this? This is a Type 3 long-range mech. Moon said.
"It's not that I like it, it's the cards that give me guidance."
"Okay, tell me what I need to do later." Moon nodded.
"I want that......" Anne whispered as she pulled down my sleeve.
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and it was a special-shaped mecha, with the shape of a bear, which looked very powerful.
"It's a Type 2 mecha, bear-shaped. Melee combat is the main ......," Moon explained in time.
"What about you?" Moon looked at me, "You didn't have a choice. β
"Me?"
For a while, I didn't know how to choose, there were too many mecha models, and it seemed to be similar in appearance, I didn't see anything special, there were too many of the same type.
I had an idea, and I had a trick up my sleeve. Spiritual power will guide me, but in the past, it was invincible.
I didn't speak, I sat down on the ground, crossed my knees, closed my eyes, sealed my hands, and began to meditate. The spiritual power was then released and expanded, and soon enveloped the entire warehouse.
Still with nothing, I tried to expand the range.
Pregnant! Just when my spiritual power spread to the maximum range, and I was about to lose my hold and return empty, it was like a voice guiding me, calling me there.
"Is there a warehouse over there?" I retracted my mental strength and asked Moon.
"There is, but there are ...... over there," Moon said hesitantly.
"Take me around, I feel like what I want is over there."
"Okay, but I can warn you, don't get your hopes up."
As Moon opened the door, a smell of rust came, you must know that this is Mars, it is very dry, metal thrown on Mars can not be corroded for thousands of years, and with their level of technology, it is not a big problem to achieve anti-embroidery and anti-corrosion.
"This is a garbage heap, a bunch of failed products, the first few generations of mecha are here, because the technology is not mature enough, it is almost a museum-like existence, so there are still some here that are almost rusty and unusable."
"Lu, why don't I give you my little bear, we don't want it here." When Anne heard this, she was very worried, and said to me with a little face. "It's not safe."
"I'm just looking, it's okay." I rubbed her hair and smiled comfortingly.
But I know that the mech I want is here. I can't be wrong with the guidance of my intuition.
I soon discovered that my target was a mecha in the corner, humanoid and looking like an ancient samurai. And unlike the surrounding mechs, it's almost as smooth as new, and I'm quite satisfied with everything except for its golden appearance.
"I almost forgot about this mech." Moon remembered something as if it dawned on him.
"This one works, but it's not easy to handle. This is the work of our former genius, who used the best materials, and it can be said that the defense of this mech is outstanding. Moon seemed to introduce and seemed to deliberately reassure Anne, pointing out its safety.
Anne's nervous little face relaxed.
"Then why is it here?" I asked curiously, and at the same time, it was also a question in everyone's mind.
"I can't say much, genius ideas are always hard to fathom. This mecha can attack from a distance, can fight in close combat, and has an excellent defense system, but we have no one to control it, so it is shelved here. Moon scratched his head and said.
"Can I use it, then?"
"Of course you can, but are you sure you can handle it?"
"No problem, my instincts guide me to find it, it must be fine." I don't know what to do, but I still choose to trust my instincts.
"Annie, what's the name of your mech? Have you figured it out? "After choosing a mecha, I also have the heart to joke with Anne.
"I still want to call it Tibbs." Anne thought for a long time, bit her finger and said, "And it has a name." He raised the teddy bear in his hand and said.
"Good name, if you like it." I petted her head dotingly and said.
"What about you? Trist. β
βfateοΌβ
"Fate? I really miss your style. β
He likes fortune telling, and the gods and gods always can't avoid the topic of fate, and the name is very consistent.
"Don't talk about anyone else, what's your name?"
"Annie, can you help me choose a name?" I didn't answer, but instead looked at Anne and asked.
"Shall I pick a name? I want to come up with the best name for you. β
Anne felt as if she had accepted a very important task, holding the bear in one hand and holding it in her mouth as if it would inspire her.
βlibraγβ After half a ring, she spoke, and then looked up at her little face, as if asking for credit.
"Okay, let's call it Libra."
It's just a name, and it's nothing special to me, but it makes Anne happy for a while, and naturally there will be no objections.
"The rest of you think about how you need to reform, I will use my privilege to help you transform. Other people don't have this treatment, they are all standard, and if they want to transform, they have to wait for meritorious service to rely on meritorious service, how about it? Interesting enough, right? Moon pretended to be generous, but I understood what he meant when I saw him smacking his mouth, and asked me to bribe him with something delicious.
I silently gestured a finger as he gestured to five, and after a bit of bargaining, he reached an opinion with three large meals.
I agreed to this kind of deal, he is responsible for the materials, I only need to process it, I can also enjoy it, and I can make Anne eat better.
The usual nutritious meals make them tasteless after eating a big meal, but fortunately, with my condiments, it is much better.
But for Anne, it's good to have something to eat, and the most important thing is to be full, and I see that her nutritious meals are always eaten cleanly, without any waste, even if they are occasionally unseasoned.
This reminds me of what happened to her before, people who have experienced hunger always cherish food, which makes me feel a little distressed.
I checked my mech, thinking about how to improve it, what would be more appropriate, mainly the weapon system, there is nothing to change about this mecha power system, the color has to be changed, the golden yellow is too coquettish, and its melee weapons, and gradually drew a sketch at the bottom of my hand.
Over there, Anne and Trist also made their own plans, and made different adjustments to the mecha, from colors to weapons.
After telling Moon what we each wanted and what we thought, we went back to training.
