Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Scalpel Enters Service

Bernice, female, Marine Corps elite.

This is a tower-like girl, and even Dorotai, who is 1.9 meters tall, looks like a child in front of her! Her height is 222 cm! Fortunately, she is a player in the King Kong Barbie category, and she has no pectoralis major muscles.

Subsidiary License: Advanced Calm (Reduces vibration, sound on autologous stimuli, and has a 30% chance to ignore the effects of vibration, sound, etc.) )

At the beginning, Su Qing was only because there was a BOSS-level giant ship specialization in the driver's license, and this kind of license that could only play a role after I don't know how long it would take, was collected by Pan Wen like a treasure. How can a real ground terminator like Bernice be missed, her basic physical attributes are definitely several times that of the five scumbags, plus the additional values brought by genetic optimization and licenses, once you put on the power armor, you can top a real mecha, and you can move freely in the ship passage without being restricted by the mecha shape!

Similarly, as a true top-level personnel, Bernice has his own additional requirements outside of his normal contract, which can be more difficult than those of Arrow.

She asked for an exclusive mech for the duration of her service, for which she reduced the signing fee to the same level as her annual salary, which was 300 Star Coins.

A mecha that can be operated by only one person with a bound identity can also be called an exclusive mecha, and the problem is that even the latest model of that kind of thing can be bought at half of Bernice's annual salary, so what the hell does it ask for. Her requirements had to be a laboratory-grade non-production machine, and it had to be significantly more powerful than ordinary models.

There's only one place to get this kind of thing - it's the Florin Republic, the country with the strongest mecha and minicomputer technology!

The problem is, there are no mecha and small machines flowing through the Florin Republic so far, so how can Pan Wen get other people's lab-grade products!? Do you want Xiao Zhengtai to sell cuteness and cheat out? Whether he himself can leave Hong Kong alive is a question!

Regardless of whether he can get the exclusive mecha or not, Pan Wen signed the contract first, anyway, it is a five-year contract, and it is really impossible to wait for the fleet to be strong to grab it!

Unexpectedly recruited Bernice on the last day, Pan Vin temporarily decided to deploy a stronger Marine team for the Scalpel, which happened to be good at medium and close combat, and often needed to get closer to enemy ships. He had already planned to expand the Marine Corps from the standard twenty to twenty-five, and now it will continue to increase.

The standard establishment of the Scalpel was 20 people in the control room, 25 in the technician group, 40 in the crew group including the kitchen and other logistics, and 20 in the Marine Corps, and it was also expanded to 130 people after the Marine Corps was expanded and the rotation required for the control room was increased.

In order not to waste their labor wisdom, and in order to better let the Marine Corps play a role, after the recruitment was completed, Pan Wen did not rush back to the hotel, but found Scar Dragon.

"Yikes! Master Pan, why did you come by yourself!? Scardragon was holding two girls wearing a small amount of cloth in the sunbathing room at this time, and was surprised when he saw Pan Wen.

Pan Wen went to the dock of the Scalpel and ran into Doris, where Scar Dragon was located and got it from the deputy, so he didn't know that Pan Wen was coming.

"I came to you to buy something, and I was in a bit of a hurry, so I came over directly, and it seems that I disturbed your good things?"

Pan Wen doesn't speak with sarcasm or anything like that, it doesn't sound too mean, not to mention that Scardragon has long been taught his embarrassing skills.

"How could it be! Business matters. Scardragon sat up from the recliner and patted the two girls, who left the room in understanding.

"I want twenty sets of power armor, five sets each for large and medium, and the rest for the normal type. In addition, two professional gangboats and a mining machine are required. ”

Power armor is a standard equipment, but it is not commonly used in space, and is mainly used to deal with some ground environments such as high gravity and toxic atmosphere. Pan Wen didn't want to buy it before, because the Marine Corps at hand was mostly used to protect the crew and serve as fighter pilots. However, the addition of Bernice will definitely increase the possibility of boarding the ship, and a little investment can at least reduce the wear and tear of the crew, anyway, the price of power armor is not expensive, a set of only a dozen star coins.

The porter is a variant of the landing ship, compared to the landing ship, the porter does not have the ability to travel to and from the atmosphere, but it is faster, more protective and better stealth in space.

"That's it...... That's it? ”

Pan Wen shrugged: "Do you think I have the money to buy a new ship now?" ”

"Ugh!" Scar Dragon patted his forehead, "Please, you're a big man now, leave this kind of matter of a few hundred star coins to your subordinates." ”

Pan Wen raised his eyebrows and nodded: "I know, I'll find an opportunity to get a team of assistants." Hurry up and get the things done, stuff the stuff directly onto the scalpel, and I'll leave the port tomorrow. Yes! The bill goes directly to Captain Doris, and I'll pay it before I leave port. ”

"I remember. Anyway, Master Pan, you've been working too hard in business lately, aren't you worried about your bounty causing unnecessary trouble? ”

When a pirate, especially a pirate leader, naturally there will be bounties in various countries, and the bounties are not the same across the system, Pan Wen's bounty in the Gabri Federation is 800 star coins, and in the Islamic Empire, it is only 300, of which most of the part of the Gabri Federation is because he captured the scalpel some time ago.

Hundreds of Star Coins may not seem like much, and it is also a fund that many ordinary crew members may have to save for a lifetime to obtain, maybe someone will risk the possibility of being headshot by the bodyguard Dorotai, and as Pan Wen continues to hunt, the bounty will sooner or later increase to the point that even the pirate leaders are tempted.

"Do you think I should worry that my fleet is too small now, and no one will dare to make a decision when it is big enough." Pan Wen replied.

In fact, this is not a solution, no matter how big the fleet is, the risks will still exist, and even the methods used by potential enemies will be much worse. However, Pan Wen couldn't stop, the player's shadow had been pressing on him, and it was to be expected that as long as he rested for two or three months, any player organization might be able to clean him up when he went out again. So even though the risk of hunting is high, its rate of return makes Pan Wen unable to let go at all.

To deal with the scar dragon, Pan Wen still has one more thing to do - research.

After several battles and peacetime training, his current physical level is level 3, with strength, agility, and physique values of 11, 11, and 12, and his mental level has reached level 5, with knowledge, energy, and nerve reflexes of 12, 15, and 11 respectively.

As the flagship boss, Pan Wen's upgrade speed is comparable to that of a snail, and many of the elite-level basic crew members recruited have already been upgraded to seven or eight levels, and he is still slowly shaking. Fortunately, he has two attribute enhancements per level, which is a little more than the elites, and it also allows him to get back to the field.

I've consulted about the license upgrade before, and now the affairs of the fleet are almost handled, and it will be safer to get the advanced license in hand and get it out after a little time left.

The process of the license center is very simple, connect the designated superpower components in a special room for testing, and the main and secondary licenses together do not even need to repeat the queue, it took several hours to complete the exam, and Pan Wen's professional license starship mastery and subsidiary license have been replaced with advanced.

The rank of the flagship boss is higher than that of the ordinary boss, and the license is the same as the boss level, which can only be said to be a little pity.

License: Flagship-tier advanced starship mastery (hull strength increased by 120%). Subsidiary License: BOSS Advanced Maintenance Technology (60% increase in durability of all equipment); Boss-level advanced amplification technology (60% increase in attack limit); Boss Tier Advanced Stabilization Technique (Increases Minimum Attack Limit by 60%).

…… Well, compared to the 45% of the Rare Tier and the 35% of the Elite Tier Expert Tier, the Flagship Tier license is quite outrageous, from the beginner to the advanced, the hull enhancement caused by the superpower resonance is directly 50% higher. However, Pan Wen didn't think it was a big deal, no matter how powerful the flagship level was, one ship could be used as two, even if the attack area, tactical tacit understanding, multi-ship coordination and other details were counted, the maximum number of licenses that could be commanded by three elite captains of the same class was a ship. Compared with the player's tactics of not being afraid of death, it is still not enough, and only a strong enough overall fleet can really suppress the players.

After taking the senior license exam, when he returned to the hotel, Pan Wen was not only not happy because of a better license, but became depressed.

There are several reasons for this, and in general, his mental strength is still not enough!

15 energy, which can only support him to use two secondary license abilities when he opens the main license ability. However, in addition to the professional license mastered by the starship, he also has a set of licenses!

License: Boss Rank Beginner Calm (Increases mental power by 7 points in battle). Subsidiary License: Boss Tier Primary Calm (Reduces vibrations, sounds, and autologous stimuli, and has a 35% chance to ignore the effects of vibrations, sounds, etc.) ); Boss level primary concentration (attention is easier to concentrate than ordinary people, shortens the time required to lock on to the target by 30% (the ship under command benefits by half)); BOSS-level primary panoramic mastery (the efficiency of radar information collection is improved but the range is not extended, which will make the radar better perform tasks such as anti-stealth, auxiliary guidance, and targeting.) The amount of effective information collected by radar has been increased by 30%. )

It takes at least 16 points of energy for his senior professional license to be fully opened, 4 points for the main license to open for this group of calm, and 1 point for the subsidiary license, and the rest will not work if the main license is not opened.

As for the increase in energy cap for the Calm Master License...... This part he secretly tried when he first left the port, and it didn't stand at all, the upper limit was only effective in battle, but where was the leisure and time to recover his energy during the battle. The main function of this ability is to slow down the consumption of energy to achieve the purpose of prolonging the duration of the battle.

He realized that there was a very serious problem, according to his current license experience, when he obtained the advanced occupation license at level 10, he would need 15 energy to open the professional master license, and each subsidiary license would require 3, 24 or 27 energy to open all abilities!

The problem is that his mental power level has only increased to level 10 in total, and according to his usual work and rest attributes, the increase is also accompanied by a certain amount of randomness, and if you want to open two sets of expert-level licenses, you can say less than twenty or thirty levels! At the current rate of escalation, it would take two or three thousand player ships to rise - and they would all have to be patrol ships or higher!

It seems that the flagship-level exclusive license "Fleet Control" that he has his eye on will not be able to obtain it in any year or month.

Pack up your mood and go back to the hotel to sleep, and get ready to go on the road again to grab food with the players.

After paying the bill for the goods that Scardragon asked for and making a key supply of the scalpel number, there were still more than 2,000 Star Coins left in the bank account...... Coupled with the loot list of 2,100 Star Coins that have not yet been sold, it is all his assets.

Three frigates are obviously much better than two ships called "fleets", and if the timing is right, Pan Wen doesn't mind letting the official forces of the Isis Empire and the Gabrie Federation suffer a small loss - even if they are NPCs.
