Chapter Twenty-Five: A New Guest
"Storm Crimson" was bought by the little butler from the "profiteer" illusion space without any discount on survival points, and of course he had to take it wherever he went. What's more, in this dark continent where giant monsters and alien robots are rampant, unless the physical body is as powerful as the Asian Venerable, it is impossible to move freely here.
However, "Storm Crimson" was just broken by them not long ago, and it is still being repaired, originally the little butler thought that it was already very good to be able to move now, and he still had a few disposable props in his hand that could automatically repair the mecha, and it should not be a problem to barely repair Storm Crimson. However, hearing the mature captain say this, Lucy suddenly remembered the mission she had worked so hard to complete before, and the reward for that mission seemed to be to strengthen and transform her mecha "Tempest Crimson". Now it seems that this is what Captain Mariu has mentioned.
For the little butler, although time is very precious, but for the sake of her own mecha, but also to increase the probability of success of the operation, it is still worth spending a little time waiting for the completion of the mecha, not to mention that during this time, she can continue the practice of "undefeated in the East of the genre", and every point of her strength increases, the certainty of success is one more point.
At present, the Archangel and the Big Rock Mountain are undergoing final repairs, loading weapons and ammunition, and preparing for the offensive and defensive battle of Tie Peilin in the near future, as long as the little butler can leave here before the battle begins, otherwise once the battle starts, he will not be able to leave when he wants to.
******************************************************************************************
Three days later, the Archangel was in the middle of the large hangar......
"Wow~~~!"
Aside from this exclamation, little Lucy and Yuko couldn't find any other words to describe their mood at this time.
Originally, it was an imposing crimson giant mecha. Not only has it been completely fixed at this point. And the armor looks thicker and solider. The joints have also been specially strengthened, and some details seem to have changed.
"It's a perfect masterpiece...... To be honest, even I don't believe that it can be repaired so perfectly, and the renovation plan is going so smoothly, as if the god of machines has been watching over us. Look at what we've all done for her...... The armor has nearly doubled, the joints have been strengthened with shock absorption, and the number of power ligaments has been increased from 18 to 28, and the overall capacity has been increased by almost 80 percent. Do you know, little girl, there are many people who are jealous of your mecha now, and they almost want to grab it......"
Uncle Preparation's rambling narration did not reach the ears of the little butler at all, because the spatial cue from the brand emblem was obviously more important......
"Your large-scale combat power mecha 'Storm Crimson' has been successfully transformed in ten stages, the mecha durability (HP) has been increased from 7500 to 11500, the energy (EN) has been increased from 170 to 320, the terrain adaptability has not changed, the movement force has remained unchanged at 6, and the movement has been increased from 90 to 150. Armor 1300 increased to 2100. The number of vacant boosted slots remains the same. (None of the above data includes the amplification effect of enhanced plug-ins)"
"Since your mech has reached 'Full Change', now add a fixed reward. The number of mech enhancement slots has been increased by one, the attack damage of all weapons has been increased by 200, and the critical strike chance has been increased by 30%. In addition, an optional retrofit project ......"
"What are the renovation options......?" Just when the little butler was about to carefully study these optional items with great excitement, he didn't expect that the illusionary space hint of the brand emblem was gone......
"Hey, hey, hey! Is it a malfunction? Why is there no content? If you're stuck here, it's too torturous, isn't it, bullying me as a housekeeper without a master......"
Just when the little butler was as uncomfortable as being tortured and scratching her liver, and was about to secretly greet the mother of the illusion space in her heart, she finally heard the nagging of the uncle of the preparation class......
"Hey, little girl, why don't you answer me, if you really can't make a choice, then I'll help you choose."
"Uncle, you, what did you just say?"
"Didn't you hear anything? Hey~~~ Young people nowadays, how can they not listen to people seriously...... I was just talking about, which of these weapon systems did you choose as an additional weapon for your mecha 'Tempest Crimson'? ”
"Additional armament ......? Yes! That's what it means! The little butler suddenly understood that it was not that the illusion space did not give her a hint, but that this hint had already been expressed through the mouth of the uncle of the preparation class.
"Right...... I'm sorry...... Yes, can you please say it again, uncle? The face of the little butler, who attaches great importance to etiquette, is almost steaming, which is really an out-and-out "housekeeper disqualification".
"Hi...... Okay, I'll say it again, you have to listen to it this time, although the power of the Storm Crimson carbide wheel saw combat system is not bad, but it is too bulky, and the attack range is relatively narrow, I have taken it upon my own initiative to dismantle it, and replace it with the melee weapon "High Frequency Vibrating Dagger" developed by NEVR, a subordinate agency of the Earth Disaster Society, for their proud body, EVA, and the large beam sword weapon carried on the "Meteor System". I don't want to be surprised if I transform it without your permission, wahahahahahaha...... In addition, during the transformation of the airframe, a place was accidentally freed up to equip the universal weapon system, which could add one more weapon to the airframe. ”
"What are my options?" After saying so much, the drama meat is finally here, and the little butler's mood is really nervous at this moment.
"Actually, there are no weapons that are too new and too good, after all, this is a battleship's hangar, not a special weapon research and development institution, so we can only choose from other spare parts of the body that can be compatible with the system of Storm Crimson, after asking my opinion, Captain Amuro, Kira, they all allow you to use the spare weapons of their airframe, such as the large ship chopper carried on the Strike Gundam, the 120cm large-caliber beam artillery cannon, the 75 missile launcher nest of the Heavy Gundam, and the 64mm six-barreled Vulcan cannon, Niugundam's floating finned cannon system, as well as the belly compound phase array beam cannon of Raid Freedom, the 115mm electromagnetic railgun, the red solar furnace captured from the new machine of the Earth Federation Army, and the positive electron cannon that has been in the warehouse for a long time......"
***************************************************************************************
All right...... There are no overly many surprises, such as the "Zero System" of the Flying Wing 0 Gundam, the "Moonlight Butterfly" of the Inverted A Gundam, the "Moonlight Cannon" of the X Gundam, the Dual Resonance Solar Furnace, and the Space Retreat Engine...... Among these optional weapon systems, there are no strategic-level mass killers, but as a reward for completing a mission, these are already very generous, and the little butler can't say anything more.
"In that case, then I'll choose 'it'......"
****************************************************************************************
When the transformation of Storm Crimson was all completed, it was finally time for the little butler to leave the Archangel, and to be honest, it was not a happy experience. Her departure, not only some people regret it and are reluctant, but also some people look at her with contempt and disdain for her "escape".
But for the little housekeeper, what really regrets her is that Xiao Meixue has not woken up yet. No, it's not that her body has deteriorated, the girl's vital signs have stabilized day by day, and it is a matter of time before she wakes up, but unfortunately the little butler can't wait any longer, so he can only leave her on the Archangel to recuperate.
Fortunately, the Asian Venerable can take her place and become one of the Trinity pilots of Storm Crimson. In this way, not only will the combat effectiveness not decrease, but the ability of melee combat will increase in a straight line.
……
On the Archangel's electromagnetic catapult device, the heavily armed Storm Crimson is ready to go.
"Storm Crimson, go!"
The guiding lights in the catapult tunnel were lit up one by one, and the English words "Permission to Attack" popped up above. The next moment, the huge humanoid mecha was ejected at an initial velocity of 800 kilometers per hour.
"Wow~~~!"
When the sunlight shone into the cockpit of Storm's crimson head, the gloom that shrouded the little butler's heart seemed to be diluted a little......
"Motorcycle girl, wait for me, I'm here to save you......"
The little butler looked straight ahead with a firm gaze, but he didn't see that the Asian Venerable beside her was looking at her with a very strange gaze.
*****************************************************************************************
On the bridge of the Archangel, watching the huge red figure of Storm Crimson gradually shrink into a small dot, the mature captain Malu sighed softly. But before she could get out of the sadness of parting and the anxiety about the fierce battle that was about to break out, her radar spotter brought her new bad news......
"Captain! Anomalies found! An unidentified object is approaching the ship at high speed, resembling a blue metal cube, oversized in size, and with an energy wavelength of ...... The energy wavelength is blue, which is ...... This is the new 'Apostle'~~~! (To be continued......)
