Chapter 5 Ideals
Su found a bunch of empty ammunition boxes, leaned on them, and began to look through the abilities of his three servants. It is clearly written in the dragoon handbook that the first thing a dragoon should do is to understand your followers. Only with a full understanding can a team be truly formed.
Leigh, 18 years old, 4th Strength Order, 4th Defense Order, 3rd Agility Order, 4th Agility Order, 2nd Speed Order, 3rd Rank Damage Reduction. In addition to the fighting domain, she also has a hearing enhancement and a visual enhancement in the perception domain.
Rigaolei, 32 years old, is an ability in the psionic domain, with a fourth-order mastery of simple weapons and a fourth-order mastery of complex weapons, as well as a rare first-order area control ability. In addition to this, there is also a first-order strength, a first-order defense, and a second-order agility in the combat domain.
After seeing the ability of these two people, Su was also very surprised. Rei and Rigore's abilities have far exceeded the level of a retainer, and they are even good enough to be a regular dragoon. It's barely understandable that Li's willingness to become a servant is understandable, but why is Rigore willing to become a servant at such a low price? From beginning to end, Sue didn't understand the question.
Quinn, who is over 40 years old, is not very outstanding in terms of personal combat ability, but he also meets the minimum standards of a servant. His greatest strength cannot be measured by the number jΓΉ, and that is the experience and wisdom accumulated over the years. In addition, the ability of a mid-level shaper is also necessary to create certain non-standard equipment in the future.
Flipping through the abilities possessed by the servants, Su felt for the first time that he was powerful, and the feeling of strength did not only come from himself, but from the three servants standing behind him, from nearly a hundred well-trained warriors.
Persephone's image suddenly flashed on the screen, and she brutally emptied everything on the screen, and then enlarged her image to the full screen, and then laughed contentedly, and said to Sue, "Hey, it looks like you already have a very good team!" But what is the origin of that little guy named Li, and does it have anything to do with you? She looks very promising, how can she become your subordinate? Don't sue me, she's here for your hundred dollars! β
Behind Persephone is still a battlefield of shrapnel, and the best missiles are chasing each other in the air with palpitating speed and agility. Persephone was biting a pencil in her mouth, her hands struggling to get her long hair up. Even on a palm-sized screen, this action accentuates the contours of her breasts. Moreover, the top two buttons of Persephone's shirt were not fastened, and from Sue's point of view, at a glance, she could see half of the scenery inside her dress.
Sue immediately had a physiological reaction, but luckily Helen wasn't around. Whenever Helen was around, Persephone always dressed properly. And when she's not there, anything can happen.
Just when Su was having a headache for Persephone's problem, Persephone suddenly exclaimed and said quickly: "I have to go to the rescue, I'll talk about this later, but don't think I'll forget it!" β
The screen had become empty, but Sue seemed to be able to smell the faint scent of Persephone. He relaxed his body, leaned against the ammo box behind his back, and looked up at the sky, most of the gloom in his heart had disappeared unconsciously. At this time, even the low-hanging radiation clouds in the sky no longer seem to have a feeling of oppression, but appear very majestic.
"Boss, it looks like you're in a good mood, do you want one?" Rigore's voice rang out beside Sue.
Su looked at Rigore, stretched out his right hand, smiled and said, "Thank you, if it's free." β
Rigore immediately put back the cigarette that had been handed over to him, and handed Sue a crumpled bargain again. Su didn't mind at all, took the cigarette, and then a very faint blue flame appeared on the tip of his left index finger, and slowly lit the cigarette.
Li Gaolei stared at Su's fingers, his eyes blazing: "Boss, you never said that you played a spell-like domain!" β
"The high temperature is only the first order." Sue took a deep puff of her cigarette and then puffed out a straight column of smoke. The smoke of inferior cigarettes has a pungent smell and a spicy mouth, but when Sue inhales it, he has automatically filtered out the smell he doesn't like and sprays it out. So for him, the difference between good smoke and bad smoke is not very big. Regore, of course, would not have known this.
"Boss, have you ever wondered what the purpose and meaning of the Dark Dragoon is to save the zΓ i?" Rigolei put his left arm on the ammo box, and although he had completed the registration procedures for his subordinates, he didn't seem to have much respect for Su. It seems that Rigore is more afraid of Sue's power.
"For the sake of the council, I understand." Sue replied. He suddenly found that his way of speaking was somewhat cynical towards the likes of Rigore and Ricardo, and he slowly began to talk to people more easily, and his words became correspondingly more.
Perhaps, this represents some kind of trust, in a Sue way.
"The Bloody Council? I don't understand how they came up with such a name, they all seem to be people with unique tastes. "Regore didn't have the slightest respect for the Bloody Council, the most powerful ruler of the land beneath his feet. He went on to ask: "Then what is the purpose of the Bloody Council's existence?" β
Su shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either." I haven't met anyone in the council yet, and I've heard that they're really big shots. β
"Big shots?" Rigolei shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively, "Okay, big man. And what about you, Sue, and what is your purpose. The purpose may not be appropriate, we should change the nostalgic word, ideal, this word is good. β
"Ideal ......" Su smiled and said, "I don't have an ideal, but the purpose has always been clear, that is, to live." β
Rigore, looking a little disappointed, said, "Alive...... Well, that's everyone's purpose, and so am I. The Dark Dragoon can at least give me a greater chance of being alive, and in case one day the mutant organization can't control it, there is also hope for a cure. β
"Are you just trying to live?" Sue looked at Rigore.
"Why not?" Li Gaolei replied very simply, but under Su Qingqing's gaze, he finally turned his gaze to the side and said, "Okay, I admit it, I also hope that those who I look at can live better, or at least have the possibility of survival." β
"So you've been poor." Sue said.
This time, Rigolei was finally taken aback: "How do you know?" β
Sue said, "I met Sally in Dragon City. When this mission is over, you can go to Dragon City and meet her. β
"How's she doing?" Rigore asked.
Su hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say bad, because she is struggling in her own way." Moreover, she has the ideals you just mentioned. β
"Ideal ......" Gao Lei heard something from Su's words, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but the anger then turned into helplessness: "Damn it! My dream is to get rid of this world full of radiation, no access to clean water, constant hunger, and food grabbing from ferocious rats and rotting wolves! β
"It's ambitious, but it's hard to achieve." Sue did not seem to take Rigore's words as pure venting, and replied very seriously.
Rigore laughed and said, "Sir, you are very good at comforting people. There is no possibility of realizing this ideal of mine at all, it is a fantasy to put it nicely, but in fact it is almost like the nonsense of a drunk! β
At this time, another message came from Su's tactical board, Su Da glanced at it, then stood up, and said to Rigore: "I'm serious. You still have ideals, unlike me, most of the time I just think about how to live. β
With that, Su walked towards his tent. Behind him, Rigore snorted and whispered, "Is it just to live?" Fool it! β
Back in his tent, Sue sat down at the portable table and began to peruse the information on the tactical board. The information came from the Dark Dragoon Headquarters and was divided into two parts, the first of which was a routine format text to the effect that Sue's promotion to lieutenant had been approved and his authority had been elevated to the second rank accordingly. The amount of information in the second part is very amazing, mainly the ability domain information that can be obtained by the second-level permission. It seems that the headquarters can understand very well what the dragoon needs most after promotion, that is, the increase in strength, the never-ending improvement.
The screen flickered constantly, and a large amount of information was transmitted. In the past, the highest formula ability that Su could access was only the fifth order, and there were not many of them, and they were all the most common abilities. If Sue is willing to choose the recipe ability, then this is his range of options. Now that the authority has been directly upgraded from basic to level 2, Su's selection range has not only added many standard single-domain capabilities, but also several rare abilities, and even several new cross-domain capabilities. For example, based on the high temperature fourth-order of the spell-like domain and the rare ability area control of the psionic domain, a new ability, the Flame Defense Field, can be generated. If the third order of high temperature is combined with the third order of combat domain defense enhancement, it is a new ability, the flame helmet.
Cross-domain ability is a key area of research in recent years, because the ability needs to develop to a higher level requires more and more evolution points, the cost of each step to the next level increases geometrically, for most people to evolve to a certain level, and then to the higher level even becomes impossible, so it is more practical to develop some more low-level abilities in other ability domains. However, everyone's abilities are limited by talent, and most of them are concentrated in a certain ability domain, and even if they can be developed in other ability domains, they can only reach the third order. The emergence of cross-domain capabilities gives these capabilities that have been promoted to the bottleneck a new opportunity and a chance to become stronger.
Su once thought about what it would be like if the abilities of various fields were combined with each other, and at that time, he just simply calculated and got an astronomical permutation and combination, not to mention the possibility of practicing them one by one. Moreover, although Su chose the perception domain as the main direction of attack, as soon as the evolution point is cast, the corresponding ability will be automatically generated, and even he himself does not know what the next ability will look like, so he has never been able to have a deeper understanding of the domain ability. However, the most basic abilities are still much the same, so Su's low-level abilities in the whole field, which are mostly generated automatically and spontaneously, don't see any problems at present, if there is a problem, it is that the efficiency is much stronger than the ordinary formula ability, and at the same time, the evolution points consumed tend to be more.
After this life-and-death battle with the blue scorpion, Su's evolution points had risen to 24, but he didn't know if it was because he had traveled too long in the red-hot metal jet and the explosive flame airflow, and when the last blue scorpion transport chariot exploded into a fireball in front of his eyes, Su found that he had unknowingly generated a first-order high-temperature ability similar to the spell-like domain.
After reading the ability domain information from the headquarters, Su pondered for a long time, and he suddenly remembered the rain of bullets flying on the battlefield before, the electric sparks flying everywhere, and the flickering electronic eyes of the crawler robots. Su no longer hesitated, and directly cast three evolution points in the spell-like domain, and sure enough, the first-order ice, first-order magnetism, and first-order thunder and lightning were generated on their own. And with these abilities in the spell-like domain, Su felt that the relevant areas of the occult were beating and struggling again, trying to break away the intensively rehearsed genes. Su threw the evolution point into the occult realm, and it wasn't until the sixth evolution point that a new third-order ability was generated, which is very similar to the standard third-order ability in the Dark Dragoon's occult: elemental protection. After Su has the ability of the spell-like domain, the corresponding resistance to the fields involved in these abilities, such as high and low temperatures, electric shocks, etc., has increased a lot, and after generating the ability of elemental protection in the occult, Su's resistance to these energies has become even stronger. Of course, as with all occult abilities, the effects of elemental protection come and go.
However, not everyone is self-generating like Sue, Captain Curtis once said that most people need two injections to get an ability, one to gain evolution points and the other to gain a formula ability. This means that it costs double the money, and the way that the three Su Na can obtain from the ability is more likely to take two injections from the current point of view.
The cleanup of Pendulum City will take another three days to complete. If the new minesweeper of the headquarters does not arrive, there will be no way to deal with the blue scorpion's intelligent mines, so there is no way to rush this matter. All the affairs, Leigh, Rigore, and Quinn were handled in an orderly manner, and there was no need for him, the newly promoted dragoon lieutenant, to interfere at all. Of course, Su is also very self-aware, knowing that if he commands indiscriminately, he will make a mess of things. So what Su has to do is to watch slowly, learn slowly, and constantly strengthen herself.
Sue remembers once reading a quote in a book left over from an old time: "The more you know, the more you will discover your ignorance." Su had a similar experience, the stronger his ability, the more he sensed the fear that came from the depths of his heart, it was a fear that came from instinct, it was unavoidable, unstoppable, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.
Su's injuries were not serious, and after a night's rest, most of his body functions had recovered, and the remaining minor repairs would take up to six hours. Injuries that used to take days to heal can now heal in about a day, thanks to the Dark Dragoon's advanced medicine. It's just that those nutrient solutions that are very effective for ordinary people don't have a great effect on Su.
Su was alone in the camp tent, opened the tactical board, and carefully examined the topographic map. It was already noon, and as winter approached, the sky was again covered with radiation clouds, and at about three o'clock it was completely dark. The temperature has dropped to about minus 5 degrees, but fortunately, the wind is still dry, and it doesn't look like it will snow for a day or two. If it snows, the Blue Scorpion's wounded chariot could be completely covered in snow.
People in the wilderness often prayed that it would not snow and that it would not rain. Rain and snow have deadly radiation, baptizing the earth everywhere, fine rain lines and snowflakes like a net to block all the space from the sky to the earth, more deadly than the sunlight that is often blocked by clouds, and if it is drenched for a long time, it is possible to produce mutated tissues in the body.
The retreat direction of the Blue Scorpion wounded chariot is north-west, and from the general direction, it should pass not far from the north of 958. Of course, there is also the possibility that they will be diverted halfway.
Su still decided to track down to the northwest alone, trying his luck to find the Blue Scorpion's forward base. However, before leaving, Surangri Goray took a few people with him, and a day later he was fifty kilometers to the north.
Is this the end of the lone wolf era? Sue had such an idea while packing in his barracks.
It took him half an hour to carefully pack his bags and walk out of the camp. Driving would have been the quickest and most convenient option, but Su's body lì is far stronger than the average person. In the turbulent years, almost all roads had been destroyed, and Su was not much slower than a regular off-road vehicle. The other point is fuel. Fuel is very expensive, and the cost of long-distance travel is even more expensive to the point that Su can't afford to use it now.
As Sue walked out of the camp, Leigh was leaning against a pile of ammunition boxes, tossing a composite saber up and down, looking bored. Sue smiled at her and headed outside.
"Hey, that...... Chief! Leigh stopped Sue, but apparently she wasn't used to the new name. Are you going to fight again? β
Su Shi smiled and said, "Why is it desperate? I'm going to scout where the Blue Scorpion's forward base is, so that the next time they come back, we'll still not be prepared at all. It's my business, and don't forget, I was a hunter before I joined the Dark Dragoon. β
Leigh scratched at her short maroon hair and said with some difficulty, "Ah, this...... I won't go with you, and I probably won't be able to help you if I go. I've got to stay here, Quinn's idiots are still a little disobedient. I don't want them to lose their lives on the battlefield next time because of this. β
Su stood in front of Li, looked at this stubborn girl carefully, and said, "It seems that you have really grown up." β
Leigh snorted and said, "Nonsense, I'm already very mature. β
Leigh is indeed a little more mature, and she is sharing the burden in her own way.
Su smiled, feeling that the sky seemed to be much brighter. He waved to Leigh and turned to walk north.
Leigh suddenly shouted at his back, "Hey! Remember to come back alive, if you don't come back, we will not have a good time! β
Leigh's final explanation seemed pale and redundant, and Sue turned around and made a sure success gesture to her, saying, "Don't worry! I won't give you a chance to join others! β
"I hope ......" Looking at Su's distant back, Li muttered a few times.
She was suddenly a little depressed, why should she worry about him so much? The old grudges and humiliations have not yet been settled! Even if Su saved her, she didn't know how pure her motives were, and Su only gave her a hundred yuan a month for pocket money. One hundred yuan, although Li is not so sensitive to money, but also found from the list of equipment of the Dark Dragoon, a hundred yuan seems to buy nothing. The little things she likes, such as the air-ground dual-purpose battlefield advantage tank, such as the high-speed transport vehicle that can float in the air for a short distance and pass through the whole ground, such as the fire support tank that can instantly cover the saturated area within a square kilometer, erase a few zeros behind the price, and it seems that it is more than 100 yuan.
Why did he become happy again for his last words? The more Li thought about it, the more depressed she became, and with a sudden wave of her left hand, the saber flew out like lightning, nailing deep into the edge of an ammunition box more than ten meters away, and the relatively heavy hilt drove the blade to rotate ninety degrees before stopping.
Quinn stared at the blade of the saber less than five centimeters from the tip of his nose, and beads of sweat continued to gush from his face. Although he had experienced life and death several times, this knife suddenly appeared in front of him while he was listening intently, and it had a full intimidating effect.
Leigh walked over, drew her saber, and glared at Quinn again before walking away.
Looking at Li's tall back, Quinn shook his head and whispered to himself: "With the fighting ability of this female dragon, it is more than enough to be a dragon rider, how can you come to be a servant and only take a hundred yuan?" β
Li, who had already walked away, suddenly turned around and said coldly: "The old lady is happy! Can you handle it? β
The expression on Quinn's face instantly became very exciting, and this time it wasn't until Li's back completely disappeared from sight that he laughed: "The ability to perceive the domain is not low, well, it really has the potential to become a female dragon!" β
As night fell, Sue was still running through the wilderness. Darkness was a friend, not an enemy. Even at night, he can easily track the whereabouts of the main combat vehicle.
At this time, the tactical board in his arms suddenly vibrate, Sue took out the tactical board, and with a light touch, Helen's face immediately appeared on the screen.
"Su, don't go to the Blue Scorpion's forward base and wait for follow-up support. The results of preliminary research on the Blue Scorpion robots have come out, and their technology is higher than we expected, and there are several key technical points that have not been solved. "Every time Helen's pretty face appears, it has a terrible effect that makes people impotent.
Su slowly slowed down, stopped, looked at the brightly lit city that appeared on the horizon in the distance, and said, "Your news came a little late, I think, I have already found the forward base of the Blue Scorpion." β
