Chapter 15: Faction determination

Maru sighed, and then said to Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, your wisdom has already explained your role, and to Lieutenant Kira, your existence is also indispensable. It's hard to believe, it was just In the second official battle, Kira was able to face the four Gundams without falling under the control of only the Archangel and Captain Mu. He also broke out an amazing fighting ability and repelled the Duel Gundam. All this It's just because Mr. Xiao, you were seriously injured and unconscious."
Xiao Ran asked in astonishment: "Huh? For the second time, you mean the encounter from Heliopolis to Artemis? Kira repelled the Duel Gundam? How about the Holy Shield? "
　　 "That's right." Ma Liu nodded affirmatively, and said: "Although Divine Shield's actions are a bit strange, you cannot deny Mr. Xiao your influence on Lieutenant Kira."
"Unbelievable." Xiao Ran shook his head in shock, and said in his heart: "The impact of the pre-explosion is so great? The original plot was completely due to Mu's sneak attack and the lack of energy from the body such as the Holy Shield that made the Archangel escape. Yes, Aslan also helped Kira at a critical moment, but now Kira can burst out with such combat power, and the growth rate is really terrifying."
Xiao Ran took a deep breath and calmed himself a little bit: "Miss Ramias, you have said so much to me, and I would be too much to agree to your request, but I also hope you Can promise me a small condition."
　　 Maru nodded and said, "Please speak."
Xiao Ran slowly said: "It is no problem to join the Archangel, but I only admit that I am a member of the Archangel, and will not admit that I am a member of the Earth Alliance. I don’t have any good feelings for the Earth Alliance, even Zaff. I also hate it. To be honest, for the entire Earth Army, I only have a good opinion of the ship Archangel and the members of the ship."
Maru was stunned, and then nodded: "This is no problem. The Archangel is originally a separate organization, and the current situation is unable to communicate with the main unit. Your identity will be the same as that of Lieutenant Kira. The Archangel’s special regulations include drafting troops to make arrangements."
"Then thank you very much." Xiao Ran smiled. At this time, the Archangel has not rebelled against the Earth Army, so I don't know if it will be counted as a separate force. The reason why Xiao Ran said what he said before is also thinking Try it once and see if just becoming a full member of the Archangel can count as completing the mission.
"Yeah." Ma Liu smiled at Xiao Ran, and said: "Since you have joined the Archangel, it is a bit inappropriate to call you Mr. Xiao Ran. With your ability, I can only let you take charge now. The rank of sergeant is temporarily responsible for the fire control of the bridge and the staff officer, do you think it is okay."
　　 "No problem, Captain." Xiao Ran smiled slightly.
　　 "Ding, main mission 2: choose to join a world power within ten days, and learn mecha operation techniques within one month, and reach level D."
　　 "The camp you chose is: member of the Earth Alliance Army Archangel, class sergeant. Mech operation technology: D-level. The task can be completed, whether to complete the task? Yes/No.
The prompt that appeared suddenly made Xiao Ran smile, but at this time he couldn't carefully check the text on the watch in front of Maru, so he put it aside for the time being, but Xiao Ran still reminded him that the Earth Alliance Army Archangel was like this. The words are firmly in my mind.
After 　　, Ma Liu told the Archangel about the latest arrangements, so he let Xiao Ran take a good rest and healed and left. However, before leaving, she also took a deep look at Xiao Ran, his eyes seemed to have a different look, but Xiao Ran, who was completely focused on other places, did not notice Ma Liu's situation at all and smiled. After sending Maru out of the room, she leaned on the bed.
　　 opened the task prompt in the watch and looked at the text on it over and over again.
"A member of the Archangel of the Earth United Army, a class sergeant, the mission is free to choose whether to complete or not." Xiao Ran watched it back and forth several times, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his mouth: "Although the Earth United in front of the Archangel The words "Jun" make me a little uncomfortable, but I have long expected that the current Archangel cannot be regarded as an independent force at all. As long as it can become a member of the Archangel, then it will become a member of the Archangel Orb. It’s not impossible for Angel members."
"Class sergeant, the level of mecha control technology, plus the freedom to choose whether to complete the task, it seems that the main task 2 also has a hidden rating reward." Xiao Ran touched his chin and thought: "I just don't know how I am now. What will be the rating of the D-level driving skills and the sergeant’s level after completing the task. Join the camp in ten days and reach the D-level driving skills in one month for a total of forty days. Excluding the two days when I was in a coma, it seems that I am within 38 days You have to find a way to improve yourself, whether it's driving skills or your current class."
　　 Decided to find a way to improve himself within the mission period, Xiao Ran quickly thought of an excellent shortcut - that is, to announce that he can drive a mobile suit and can fight.
　　 Kira became a second lieutenant, not only because he is the only person who can drive Gundam to give him such treatment. But for the entire Earth United Army, the MS pilots who can be said to be as precious as pandas as special talents, can be said to all have high welfare and high-class treatment, just like Kira Yamato, in the second time He became a second lieutenant of the Earth Army in battle.
　　 And Xiao Ran, who currently has general mecha driving skills, is only the lowest D-class, but as long as he can operate MS to fight, then he is a second lieutenant. Of course, after the Earth United Army mass-produced MS, this kind of treatment, in addition to the reinforcements of the Earth Army, can only be given to really good people.
"So, if the hidden rating of the main task 2 is based on driving skills and class, then it should be a hidden benefit for participants who join the Earth Army. But if the timing of the task is not right, then this hidden Sex benefits are equivalent to no more."
Of course, these things are inferred by Xiao Ran based on the ratings that appeared after completing the main mission one before, the sergeant class that appeared in the task prompts, and the completion of the task independently and the association of the plot. According to the inference of the plot, Xiao Ran has The reason is that since joining the Earth United Army can get hidden evaluation benefits, naturally the difficulty of the final main task three will rise straight.
　　 It is very likely that it is relying on weak military power, with only a few or more than a dozen mobile suits, or more than half of the participants have chosen the Earth Army, resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of mobile suits against other factions. And after Xiao Ran thought about this situation, it was almost possible to determine the location of the main task three.
Xiao Ran groaned: "If there were no accidents, the main task three should be at the time Zaft attacked Alaska. In the main storyline of up to SEED, before the Earth Army did not mass produce mobile suits and narrowed the gap with Zaft , And only that battle will involve all aspects, and make it more difficult for the participants of the Earth Army who have received hidden benefits, so that it can make sense for the participants of the Earth Army to obtain hidden benefits."
　　 Want to understand this, Xiao Ran is as easy as losing a heavy burden. Although he is not completely sure that the main task three is what he thinks, it is certainly not too far apart.
The unconcerned Xiao Ranan cultivated peace of mind for a few days, chatting with Kira and the others every day, or going to the bridge to learn fire control, etc., his injuries gradually healed, at least from From the outside, it was completely invisible that Xiao Ran had been seriously injured not long ago.
And with the passage of time, the time from Junius 7 is getting closer and closer every day, Xiao Ran's heart is also full of expectations, looking forward to the first meeting of Kira and Lux, and also looking forward to himself and herself. When Lacus met, Xiao Ran was quite interested in the singer who was half-and-half praise.
　　 In addition to doing these things, Xiao Ran is more soaking in the Ganaku of the preparation class. In Ganakuli, there are training equipment originally belonging to Gundam original pilots for training Gundam operations. However, after those people died and Gundam was robbed, no one cared about it. It was not until Xiao Ran appeared that he saw light from the sealed box.
At the beginning, only Xiao Ran was familiar with his D-class general-purpose mecha driving skills in the corner. After a dozen virtual battles, Xiao Ran also has a basic understanding of his current level, which is equivalent to virtual The level of ordinary Zaft's green clothes in the plane, and this level, in Xiao Ran's view, was just the level of a mixed soldier.
　　 After several captains, Xiao Ran also suddenly discovered that his two skills had added something new.
　　D-class general-purpose mecha driving skills: can operate D-class mecha normally, with a proficiency of 7/100. (Upgradeable)
　　 Space warfare proficiency: LV1, D-level skills. Can be a little proficient in fighting in the universe, and initially gain a sense of space. Proficiency is 4/100. (Upgradeable)
The appearance of two levels of proficiency gave Xiao Ran a big surprise. Anyone who has played games knows that if an increase in proficiency can increase the power of a certain skill, then it can be upgraded after the proficiency is full. In short, that Just become stronger. In Xiao Ran’s view, the proficiency of a mere 100 points is not a problem at all, but the proficiency has increased by 7 and 4 points in three or five days. This is still the case of operating a virtual training machine. What about machine training?
　　 "Then I am afraid that the proficiency will increase faster, maybe there will be an explosive growth during the battle?" Xiao Ran's mind came out of this thought, and then he spent more time on the virtual training machine.
During the battle, Xiao Ran tried land, air, space, and other terrains. After a few days, he did find that his level of performance in space battles was almost a third higher than that of other terrains. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com These data are automatically calculated by the computer after each battle.
　　 For example, hit rate, dodge rate, effective operation and other data. Xiao Ran also tried to use the assault gundam to attack in the virtual training machine, but what made Xiao Ran helpless was that only in the terrain of the universe could he exert the theoretical performance of assault as high as 80%, other terrains It can only play 65 percent of its performance.
　　 The first reason is naturally that Xiao Ran's physical data is still a bit low. The second is that the D-class driving skills can no longer fully control the assault Gundam, which is clearly a C-class body.
On the other hand, Kira, Xiao Ran learned from the data collected by the maintenance squad that he can perform up to 100% of the theoretical performance of assault regardless of equipment. At the highest level, it can reach as much as 120%, almost already. Assault the full real performance of Gundam.
Therefore, the people in the maintenance team are also quite helpless about this. After returning from the previous few battles, they will check and maintain all aspects of the Assault Gundam, and even make some preliminary enhancements in some places of the Assault Gundam. Regarding this matter, Sergeant Maddock had already complained to Maru many times, but it was just talking about it.
One day, when Xiao Ran was operating the virtual training machine, Gene relied on weapons to suppress the enemy. After turning at a high speed and approaching the opponent, he swung the weapon, accompanied by the fire on the display, and there was a popping behind him Applause.
　　 A slightly frivolous voice reached Xiao Ran's ears as he turned his head: "I didn't expect that as a teacher, you would even drive a mobile suit."
