Chapter 18: How Are You Going to Be Thankful?

Midday.

A convoy of buses departed from the school.

All the way around the city on the highway, I soon came to the suburbs, the teleportation square of the Xingyue Secret Realm.

It may be due to the high level of the secret realm.

Compared to the training ground, the scale of the teleportation plaza here is obviously smaller.

The people who enter and leave are mainly from the barracks.

These people are the guards of this secret realm.

"Don't leave garbage in the car, line up after getting out of the car, don't walk around!"

Director Huang's voice came from the front of the car.

Qin Xiaotian raised his head and found that the other party's gaze fell on him like a knife.

Hiss.

What does that mean?

I don't seem to have offended the other party.

Could it be because your source power level is too low?

Qin Xiaotian lowered his head and picked up the garbage bag with some annoyance.

It contained half a bag of chicken bones, and there was not even a garbage can on the bus.

"The trash can is over there, don't eat food with a strong smell in the car next time!"

After getting out of the car, Director Huang walked to Qin Xiaotian's side and pointed to the trash can more than ten meters away.

Qin Xiaotian suddenly realized.

Feelings, he is taking the blame for this chicken.

"Understood, I'll go and come back!"

Qin Xiaotian carried the garbage bag containing chicken bones and ran to the trash can.

When he returned, it was their turn to enter the secret realm.

Led by the teacher and the garrison, they soon arrived in the inner part of the Star and Moon Secret Territory.

It's not the same as the training ground.

The entire Star-Moon Secret Realm is in a barren space.

The corresponding location of the secret portal is a meteorite with a diameter of 10 kilometers, a length of more than 20 kilometers, and an elliptical shape.

The garrison relied on portals to build a space base on meteorites.

Outside the base, there are also starships docked.

"Damn, is technology so advanced?"

Through the glass window of the base, Qin Xiaotian was stunned and looked at the starship cruising not far away.

It's not scientific.

Obviously, in the reality of Blue Star, the scientific and technological ability is average.

There are still fuel vehicles on ordinary roads.

The progress of science and technology is about the same as that of Earth.

How did a batch of starships pop up for no reason.

"These starships were made out of ruins."

Lu Yuan pointed to the interstellar battleship that looked like a manta ray not far away and said: "These starships are all produced by the assembly line of a civilization in the ruins, and the technology contained in them, because of the differences in civilizations, we have not cracked it for the time being, so we can only use it simply and use it as a transport ship." ”

"No wonder."

Qin Xiaotian reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Starships and cannons, these are men's dreams.

I really want to get one.

"Hurry up, the assessment system will be matched soon."

Lu Yuan pulled Qin Xiaotian's sleeve.

The Star-Moon Secret Realm is just a transit station, and when the match is complete, it's time to leave.

"Hmm."

Qin Xiaotian followed the team and quickly came to a large conference room that was large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

At this time, there were already many people in the conference room.

But Qin Xiaotian didn't know any of these people.

After waiting in the conference room for nearly two hours, finally, at the moment when the conference room was full, several personnel from the military headquarters walked in.

"Now announce the safety regulations!"

"This assessment is supervised by the Longguo government throughout the whole process......"

“…………”

"......, now all candidates line up and swipe their cards in turn."

……

After a period of chattering official words, Qin Xiaotian and Lu Yuan lined up with the flow of people.

Judging by the previously announced regulations.

It should be that the assessment team match has been completed.

"Area 021, Line 186, Group 077, Squad No. 11142."

After swiping the card, Qin Xiaotian got a metal nameplate.

"Which squad are yours?" Qin Xiaotian turned his head to look at Lu Yuan.

"Group 077, Team No. 11021." Lu Yuandao;

Qin Xiaotian was a little surprised: "Group 077 of the 186 defense line? ”

There are so many candidates in the country, is it such a coincidence?

Although the squad is different, it is also good to be in the same group.

"Not so."

Lu Yuan checked the nameplate in his hand: "The prefix of our exam number is 021186077, and the candidates in the entire Jiangcheng are in group 077." ”

Qin Xiaotian: ......

Huh.

Never mind.

Let's just assume he didn't say it.

——

Attention to all candidates, please note to all candidates.

The members of the team No. 10001-10100 immediately went to the No. 1 fleet apron and waited at the No. 01 berth.

The members of the team No. 10101-10201 immediately went to the No. 1 fleet apron and waited at the No. 02 berth.

……

The members of the team No. 11001-11100 immediately went to the No. 2 fleet apron and waited at the No. 01 berth.

The members of Squad No. 11101-11200 immediately went to the No. 2 Fleet Apron and No. 02 Berth to wait.

……

Soon, the conference room broadcast read the number where Lu Yuan and Qin Xiaotian were.

The two of them came to the Fleet 2 tarmac together.

Each apron has 10 berths, and Lu Yuan's number is 11021, and you need to wait at berth 01.

And Qin Xiaotian is 11142, waiting at berth 02.

After the two separated, Qin Xiaotian walked to No. 02 alone.

At this time, there are already many people gathered here.

Not far in front of them, a manta ray.

Forehead.

It was supposed to be a starship, which was docked at the berth at this time.

"Please check your identity information."

It didn't take long for five soldiers to walk out of the starship.

The first one held a scanner in his hand: "After the personal belongings arrive at the starship, consciously store them, and we will be responsible for picking them up after the assessment, so you don't have to worry about losing the items!" ”

"Do you need to store the parts of the armament as well?" A candidate asked;

"Armed parts can be carried, but nothing else, including clothing and food." Brother Bing replied;

"And we're naked?" There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Quiet!"

The soldier brother who was the leader had a tiger's face and said in a stern tone: "During the assessment period, militarized management will be implemented, and all clothes will be provided by the military camp. ”

The crowd quickly calmed down.

"Can you carry the armed bag?" One of the girls whispered;

"Yes, but it needs to be monitored first to confirm that there is no illegal entrainment."

After speaking, Brother Bing raised the scanner in his hand and motioned for the candidates to check their identities one by one.

There are 200 people in this berth.

Soon, Qin Xiaotian completed the check and walked to the starship.

"In the starship, there are a total of 30 rooms, and there are 25 of them left for your candidates, go to room 1 according to the team number mantissa 01-04, and so on!"

Qin Xiaotian looked at his metal nameplate, the mantissa number 42, corresponding to room 11.

Finding the corresponding room, Qin Xiaotian pushed the door and entered.

"You, hello, what's your squad number...?"

I was greeted by a girl in a school uniform, with a petite figure and slightly dull skin, who looked a little malnourished.

"Don't you know that when you ask someone, you have to introduce yourself first?"

Qin Xiaotian didn't even take a look, and quickly looked at the room.

The layout of this room is a bit like a hostel capsule, with a total of eight beds on two floors.

Each bed is only 1 meter high and has a separate hatch.

In addition, there is a public bathroom and bathroom in the room.

"Well, my squad number is 11142." The girl whispered;

Qin Xiaotian: ....

He turned his head and looked at the girl again, "11142?" Are you sure? ”

"That's right!" The girl took out her nameplate and shook it.

"What a coincidence."

The corners of Qin Xiaotian's mouth tried to pull out a smile, making himself look a little kinder: "Mine is also 11142." ”

Hearing Qin Xiaotian's words, the girl screamed 'ah'.

"You're just like mine!"

The girl clenched the nameplate with her little hand, and plucked up her courage and said: "My name is Ke Ruoyun, D-level talent, black iron LV5, tank-type source parts, please give me a lot of advice during the assessment." ”

Qin Xiaotian: ...

Damn it.

That's how he answered.

I didn't expect the other party to look thinner, but it was actually a tank.

And also a tank for LV5.

There are three more armed parts than themselves.

If you tell the truth, will it seem very colorful.

Huh.

It's embarrassing.

"Qin Xiaotian."

In the end, Qin Xiaotian still stubbornly said: "General-purpose source parts, F-level talent, black iron LV2, don't think I'm dragging my feet during the assessment." ”

"No, it won't." Ke Ruoyun hurriedly waved his hand.

Since the tank and the support belong to the same squad.

Then the remaining three teammates are the output position, the assassin position, and the warrior position.

Qin Xiaotian nodded secretly.

This girl feels kind-hearted and has a relatively gentle temperament.

Although the skin is a little darker, the appearance is okay, and it belongs to the durable type.

The only fly in the ointment is that he is too thin, and he feels like he can be blown down by the wind.

He raised the nameplate in his hand, found a bed far away from the public bathroom and said, "The other team members haven't come yet, why don't you choose a bed first?" ”

The official assessment will be tomorrow, and I have to sleep here tonight.

"Oh, good!"

Seeing the people of the same team, Ke Ruoyun seemed to have found the backbone.

She thought about it and chose Qin Xiaotian's upper bunk.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaotian nodded secretly.

It's fine for her to sleep on it.

It's better than a man pressing on himself.

"Then I'll go to bed first, and you can call me if there's something." Qin Xiaotian took off his shoes and drilled into the bed.

It's still early, and it's going to be a while before it's time to eat.

Take advantage of this opportunity to squint for a while and nourish your spirits.

"Oh, good... Good! ”

Ke Ruoyun nodded heavily, and the waist-length ponytail behind him shook.

It's just that she looked at Qin Xiaotian who was about to sleep, her eyes flickered a little, and there was a tangle in her eyes.

"Eh, what else is going on with you?"

Noticing the other party's emotions, Qin Xiaotian asked tentatively: "We are also teammates anyway, if you need my help, you can say it." ”

Graduation assessment, the whole cycle of one month.

This will mean that in the future, he and Ke Ruoyun will be comrades-in-arms.

They need to face up to the mechanical creatures in their zone.

So, if the other party has any difficulties.

If he can, Qin Xiaotian doesn't mind taking a hand.

"That, that."

Ke Ruoyun was a little embarrassed, and said: "You, can you lend me a spare armament, I, I will pay you back when I make money in the future." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Ke Ruoyun's request for help, Qin Xiaotian was directly stunned.

Borrow an armed part?

He's having auditory hallucinations in his ears.

How do you borrow this thing?

It's okay that the armed parts are not bound.

If it can't be replaced after binding, you can only wait for the durability to expire.

If you unbind it in the middle of the process, the weapon parts will also shred themselves.

Generally speaking, this thing can only be bound to a mecha once from the time it exploded.

"I, although I am LV5, I have a ghost scythe on me now, and I don't have the money to buy other weapons." Ke Ruoyun whispered;

If you want to get weapons, in addition to giving them to others and buying them in the market, you have to fight them yourself.

But in the few secret realms in Jiangcheng, only the training ground is black iron level.

The others are all bronze and even silver-level secret realms.

With the current strength of Eco Ruoyun, he can only stay in the training ground for the time being.

"Don't you have anyone to take you?" Qin Xiaotian asked;

"Nope."

Ke Ruoyun shook his head, if it weren't for the imminent assessment, Qin Xiaotian would be in the same team as her.

Ke Ruoyun really didn't want to open this mouth.

However, if she keeps hiding, she won't be able to play her due abilities as a tank, and she will only drag down the whole team at that time.

"Then your current LV5 is all brushed out by yourself in the training ground?"

Qin Xiaotian looked at the little girl in front of him with some surprise.

The first time he entered the training ground, it was Luan Shuangyu who took her with him.

"Well, I spent the whole summer in the training grounds, and I killed more than 7,000 Pioneer Mantises."

Ke Ruoyun was a little embarrassed, and a blush appeared on his dull-complexed little face: "But the explosion rate of the Pioneer Mantis is too low, after deducting the money for entering the training ground and some expenses, I saved more than 5,000 yuan in a summer vacation, which is not enough for me to buy a shield." ”

"One person, more than seven thousand pioneer mantises?"

Qin Xiaotian swallowed his dry throat and involuntarily glanced at Ke Ruoyun.

This is a ruthless man.

As she said, she had a ghost scythe in her hand.

The strength of that thing, Qin Xiaotian knew.

A total of three hundred durability.

There are more than 7,000 pioneer mantises, and dozens of scythes have to be scrapped.

"Oh, that's not right."

Qin Xiaotian's brows furrowed slightly: "The explosion rate of the pioneer mantis is nearly one percent, and there are more than seven thousand praying mantises, how can they produce five or six hundred sickles." ”

The figures reported by the other party are too different from the reality.

There are five or six hundred sickles, and there are fifty or sixty thousand in the official purchase.

"I also have a twin sister, and I saved up to equip her with a tank."

Ke Ruoyun whispered: "Her talent is the same as mine, she killed more than 6,000 Pioneer Mantis in the summer vacation, and all the money of the two of us together is enough to buy a legion holy shield." ”

"So, you gave her the shield?" Qin Xiaotian's face was a little embarrassed.

The armament required for a tank is different from that of a normal cold weapon.

Because they focus on defense, most of their armaments are exclusive, and the armament itself has some special properties.

It's like the 'Legion Holy Shield' that can only be equipped with tank-type source mechs.

The effect is to release the source force interference field in an area, greatly weakening the power of energy weapons, and strengthening the defense and attack resistance of teammates.

The price of this exclusive equipment is relatively expensive.

Of course, Ke Ruoyun can also load some general-purpose equipment, but these equipment do not have special performance blessings, even if the armor stack is thick, it is only to protect herself.

It doesn't do much for the team.

"But I don't have any of the exclusive equipment you need for your tank!"

Qin Xiaotian smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

He had a general idea of Ke Ruoyun's state.

Thinking about it because of family reasons, it is indeed difficult for her to buy weapons with the remaining thousands of yuan.

"That's, that's good."

Ke Ruoyun pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a hint of apology: "I'm thinking of other ways, I'm bothering you." ”

"Uh....."

Looking at the stubborn little girl in front of him.

Qin Xiaotian's heart was sour for no reason, as if he had been scratched by a knife.

D-rank talent.

Thousands of pioneer mantis were slaughtered in one summer.

If you think about it from another perspective, it may be difficult to do it on yourself.

Not to mention, the other party is still a tank for each person to train.

Or, a shallow wave of investment?

Just cast it on the angels?

Qin Xiaotian hesitated.

There are only three armed parts on his body now, one is the ghost scythe that the other party already has.

Another is a 403 mm caliber heavy gun.

Finally, there are the five head weapons that Yan Yangang gave him.

This head armament, because it has not yet been loaded, so he does not even know the name of the armament, nor does he know its performance.

But thinking of Yan Yan's appearance as a little rich woman.

These five heads are certainly not a bargain.

"Hey, forget it, you wait for me!"

Qin Xiaotian gritted his teeth violently, took out his mobile phone and called Yan Yan.

Now in the base, because of some special means, even if you cross the secret realm, you can also transit through the real world of Blue Star, and your mobile phone can still have a signal.

If you leave the base, your phone will be a brick.

"Hey, who's this!"

Soon, the phone was connected, and Yan Yan's extremely exaggerated exclamation came from the other end of the phone.

Qin Xiaotian's face turned dark.

Is it difficult for this tiger girl to let herself go?

Yin and Yang weird.

"Why don't you speak?"

Yan Yan's tone was very brisk, and he sounded in a good mood.

"I've got something to talk to you about."

Qin Xiaotian's 'hum and chirp' muttered, if you don't listen carefully, it will be difficult to distinguish.

"Oh, I thought you had a conscience and missed me."

Yan Yan squeaked with disgust, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"My teammates in this assessment are short of some armed parts, I want to send the one you sent me, send one over."

Qin Xiaotian concisely stated the reason for his call.

After all, the head armament was given to him by Yan Yan.

Even if he already belongs to himself, he can't do that kind of generous thing to others.

This is still needed to ask for an opinion.

"Are you sure, some?"

Yan Yan was keenly aware of the bright spot in Qin Xiaotian's words.

"Hmm."

Qin Xiaotian nodded and said, "In addition to the main martial arts, she still has four parts missing, and what I can help is limited." ”

"Sss

Hearing Qin Xiaotian's words, Yan Yan suddenly gasped.

When she was first assessed, it seemed that she had only reached lv5.

"You can give it if you want!"

Yan Yan said very decisively: "Those weapons I give you are your own, and how you arrange them is your own business." ”

How much is a piece of black iron-level armament.

It's definitely worth exchanging an arm for a favor.

It's LV5 in one summer vacation, and I'm afraid that the other party won't be able to pay it back in the future.

Seeing Qin Xiaotian, he also called to ask himself.

While Yan Yan was relieved, he was also a little annoyed.

The other party is not stupid, it is so simple to win people's hearts, and it is better not to make this call.

After getting permission, Qin Xiaotian chuckled: "Then thank you Sister Yan, my sister, you can help inform me." ”

"Hey, your sister is fine, but I'm curious, how are you going to thank you?" Yan Yan said a little funny;

Qin Xiaotian: "I'll just say that, and I'll say it." ”

"Shh

Yan Yan rolled his eyes disdainfully: "A little thing without conscience." ”

"Hey, hey."

Qin Xiaotian laughed 'hey', and didn't refute: "What should be said has been said, I'll hang up first!" ”

Yan Yan said: "This palace knows, kneel down!" ”

"Gotcha!"

Qin Xiaotian hung up the phone with a smile.

Then he looked to the side, looking at Ke Ruoyun with an expectant face.
