In the vast darkness of the universe, a huge fleet of starships is slowly moving. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, these starships do not look intact, they look miserable, and there are even holes on several starships that emit blue particles from time to time. This was due to the fact that the fleet had just been attacked by the enemy, but fortunately, the commander gave the order decisively, and the captains reacted quickly and repelled the enemy after a hard battle......

And among them is a starship that is in a more dilapidated condition, and the captain of this frigate-class starship is our protagonist...... Locke, the roommate.

He was staring at the radar screen of his ship with wide eyes - an enemy ship had beaten him half in the raid just now, Locke immediately ordered a counterattack, but he didn't expect the enemy ship to be highly skilled, dancing gorgeously among the main guns and torpedoes for half an hour, and when the shield was about to be overloaded, Shi Shiran left the battlefield.

Locke couldn't swallow this! The people on the entire frigate couldn't swallow this breath!

"It's against him! (Note 1) The next time I see this ship, I will take care of him immediately! ”

"Yes!" Everyone on the bridge was furious, and replied loudly and with pride.

Locke secretly wiped a cold sweat, he had only just come into contact with the command of the frigate, and he didn't know anything except some basic theoretical knowledge. Fortunately, the battle scene just now was very chaotic, and Locke only followed the orders of the fleet commander to fire the main gun at the target being broadcast......

Yes, you heard it right, it's "newbie assistance".

Because Locke, along with Flein and Gru, soon grew tired of simply learning how to drive a starship, they clamored to find Taru, saying that they needed something exciting to do, such as a war or something.

In desperation, Taruo had no choice but to give them a very simple and easy-to-use "Novice Mode", which is to add a "Novice Assist" plug-in to the original game......

Well, Taruo doesn't use the novice plugin, because he does need to use all the knowledge of starship combat, and using the plugin doesn't make any sense of learning, and besides, he's a man with full memory ability - basic knowledge or something, so.easy.

"A subspace warp reaction has been detected ahead! The scale of the warpage is too small! It's a subspace torpedo! ”

"Subspace torpedo, I'll go! Near fire power open! ”

"Boom!"

Locke's starship was hit by two torpedoes, and the shield load suddenly rose to 66 percent, but fortunately all the remaining torpedoes were blown up by the close defense particle beam, otherwise the next shot would have caused the shield load to soar to 99 percent - the remaining one percent was the same as if it didn't, but it was just a matter of firing a few more rounds against the ship's guns.

"Holy! That starship was there! ”

Locke viciously pinched the armrest next to the captain's seat and shouted, "Mark the other party!" Aim to hit! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Locke...... You're amazing. ”

Fryin looked burned out and lay limply on the couch. Locke rolled his eyes as he drank a can of energy drink (courtesy of Taruo), then he put down the can in his hand and sarcastically said, "Freyin, big brother, I wasn't bombarded by you in the end!" Anyway, what do you mean by going directly to the battleship CQC?! ”

In the melee just now, Fryin commanded his own broken starship, forcibly started the jump engine and jumped towards the enemy line, and then the entire ship disintegrated because of subspace, causing the opponent to jump for a while.

What's more, Fryin and Locke are not in the same camp - the "meteor shower" composed of ethereal and strange battleship fragments smashed Locke in the face, and finally had to abandon the ship to escape, so he was judged to be out of the battle and automatically kicked out of the dungeon.

Now, Gru is the only player alive in the dungeon.

Locke and Fryin attributed the reason why each other had outlived themselves to the different starships they were piloting - Gru was taken special care of by Taruo, and in the copy was a cruiser, much larger than a frigate, and the shield was stronger...... Of course, the larger the size, the larger the target, and Gru received much more "attention" than Locke and Fryin.

As Locke and Fryin watched with interest Gru's projection flickering in the midst of the main artillery attacks, the doorbell rang in the activity room.

"Hello, is this the [Game Creative Department]?"

"This is ......" Fryin looked at the footage from the camera mounted on the door, and then a stumble fell directly from the couch to the ground, "Isn't this Professor Langton?!" ”

"Huh? Professor Langton? The authoritative tutor of the tactical section of the military department? How could he possibly come here? ”

Locke turned his head in surprise and watched Frain get up from the ground in a bit of embarrassment, and said with a strange expression, "Today is not April 1st......"

"Well, see for yourself." After speaking, he threw away the terminal in his hand and hurriedly ran over to meet the other party.

Locke looked at the image on the terminal, and suddenly as if his butt was on fire, he rushed to chase after him: "Wait for me!" ”

A minute later, Langton was greeted by an overly agitated Locke and Fryne.

Locke calmed down and asked cautiously, "Professor, may I ask ...... you come to us?"

Frein also looked curious, pricking up his ears and waiting for an answer.

Langton looked at the performance of the two of them and laughed: "You little bunnies don't know? Gru's full name is Gru. Molaya. ”

The two of them were puzzled for a moment by the incompatible preamble, and finally Fryin slapped his head and remembered: "Professor Langton's full name is not Langton. Molaya! Looks like Gru is a relative of Professor Langton! ”

Locke smiled bitterly: "This guy didn't even tell us ......"

"My grandson. Is the son also suffering? ”

Langton smiled and patted Locke and Fryin on the shoulder, but they didn't notice the melancholy and mockery in Langton's smile.

Langton chatted with the two of them a few more words, then looked at the simulated bins in the room with some curiosity, and then fixed his gaze on the projection in the center of the hall.

"What is this?"

Fryin immediately picked up: "This is a projection of the game, and now it shows a war dungeon......"

"I understand." Langton nodded, he was a high-ranking figure in the former Union Army, and those military achievements were accumulated by Langton little by little - so how could he not see the state of the battlefield projection in front of him?

Langton watched the projection carefully, and gradually became fascinated with Locke.
