"Sergeant Su Ming, Commander Li is looking for you."
Dean and Zhao Dabao returned to the reporting hall of the base. After they had finished their registration, a young man with a bear-like physique found Dean and asked him to see Commander Li.
"It's okay." Zhao Dabao winked at Dean and patted his shoulder.
Dean nodded and followed the young man through the corridor. A checkpoint twisted open like a fan, and inside was a spacious office.
"Commander Li, Sergeant Su Ming is here." The young man put his hand on his chest and bowed.
In front of the office sat a middle-aged man with a dignified face. His beard extended from his sideburns to his chin, shaping his face into a deep and masculine face. It was an Asian face. He stared at the monitor on the desk and said without raising his head, "Got it. You can leave now."
The young man retreated, leaving Dean alone.
"Commander." Dean used the same gesture to salute.
The middle-aged man slowly raised his eyes, and his eyes were indifferent. "Tell me about Cai Zhangkang and Sun Yong."
Dean took a deep breath and repeated the words he had said to Zhao Dabao. This time, it was more detailed, including how to pursue and how to escape.
"The abyss that split the Black Lizard..." Commander Li's finger lightly tapped on the table. After a long time, he suddenly looked at Dean, and his eyes were sharp. "So in the end, you became a deserter?"
Dudian quickly said: "Leader, I didn't escape because I was afraid. I wanted to bring back this information. I think that on the battlefield, you can't be called a warrior. You can play your value and be called a warrior!"
Commander Li slightly raised his eyebrows and snorted. "Glib tongue. As a soldier, you didn't respond properly to an accident. You didn't take responsibility after the accident. If everyone was like you and talked about escaping, how could we fight this war? Huh? "
Dean was trembling. He didn't dare to say anything and lowered his head. His heart was relieved.
"I know your situation. Your father's company went bankrupt and owes a huge debt. You need to repay it, so you are in urgent need of money. But the battlefield is not a child's play! Don't be blinded by money. This time, because of your negligence, two comrades died. How will you face their families? "Commander Li looked at him coldly.
"Please punish me!" Dean buried his head lower.
The sharpness in Regiment Commander Li's eyes gradually disappeared. He said indifferently, "It's good that you know your mistake. Remember, don't tell anyone about this. There are too many things involved. Be careful not to attract unnecessary trouble."
Dean's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Thank you for reminding me!"
"Remind me? Hmph, smart. " Regiment Commander Li thought to himself. He waved his hand indifferently. "Go down. I have high hopes for you, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate you making mistakes again and again. You can't do it twice!"
Dean respectfully bowed his head and retreated.
"Smelly brat, he must be scared out of his wits after this incident. His brain is more flexible than before." Commander Li looked at Dean's back and thought.
"It seems that there is a problem with their operation. There must be a traitor within the military or a spy placed in the giant wall. This matter involves a lot of important people. I should not get involved in this muddy water. I should familiarize myself with this place as soon as possible and then leave." Dean thought of Regiment Commander Li's words and speculated in his heart. He quickly left the place and returned to his dormitory in the barracks.
"You're back. Are you okay?" Zhao Dabao and Dean lived in the same dormitory. When he saw Dean coming back, he quickly asked.
Dean shook his head and looked relieved. "I'm fine. I told you about the situation. Regiment Commander Li just told me not to spread it out. Don't tell anyone about this matter. It will save you trouble."
Zhao Dabao's eyes turned cold. He nodded and said, "I know. It's good that you're okay."
"I want to go back to see my sister. Do you want to go?" Dean deliberately invited him.
Zhao Dabao shook his head. "I want to go, but we can't go. I know you are worried about your sister. But don't do stupid things and violate the military discipline. When there are holidays in the future, I will go with you to see your sister. Or we can go after the next battle."
Dean was silent and a little depressed. He knew that it was not so easy for the mecha operators to enter and leave the barracks. But listening to Zhao Dabao's words, even though they had just finished the battle, they did not have holidays. It could be seen how strict the control was on them!
Next, Dean pretended to be in a bad mood. He lay down on his bed and sorted out his personal belongings. There were a few books. He picked them up and looked at them. Two were about mecha knowledge, one was a storybook, and the other was a booklet. It recorded the rules and common knowledge of mecha operators.
Dean was happy. He pretended to casually pick up the storybook and looked at it. At the same time, he sensed his surroundings. He saw that Zhao Dabao's attention was gradually shifting away. It seemed that Zhao Dabao wanted him to be quiet. He slowly put down the storybook in his hand and pretended to be bored to death.
Su Ming had obviously read the things written in the booklet. It was a must-read for every mecha operator. He could even memorize it. But for him, these things were very useful.
"Mecha operators' rules …"
"One-star mecha operator's monthly salary is 100,000 federal coins …"
"During non-war period, eight hours of mecha training every day. Three mecha competitions a week …"
Dean quickly flipped through the booklet. He finished it in a few minutes and casually threw it aside. Then he picked up a book about mecha knowledge and casually flipped through it. His mind was thinking quickly.
"I didn't expect these mecha operators to have such an easy life. Eight hours of training every day. The physical and mental consumption is huge. The salary is 100,000 federal coins. With Su Ming's salary, it would take him two and a half months to earn the money for his sister's medical treatment. But he still owes a huge debt …" Dean's eyes flashed. He thought of the scene when he entered the city. Not all the people he saw were from the east. There were also a few western people.
The meaning of the word "Federation" was very obvious. This was not an imperial system and there was not only one race!
"It seems that this is indeed the place where the survivors gathered after the catastrophe. Whether it is technology or culture, they have been passed down. The humans inside the War God's Wall should also be survivors. It's just that the technology there is suppressed. However, I haven't been to the Kingdom of God. I don't know if it's the same in the Imperial Capital where the seven kings live. But looking at the airships and spaceships on the War God's Wall, the technology of the Empire isn't much worse.
"But why does the Empire suppress the technology inside the Giant Wall? Is it possible that the technology in some places is suppressed here? "Dean pondered. But after thinking about it, he put away these thoughts.
He couldn't even deal with his own matters. It was useless to think about these things.
"Su Ming is a one-star mecha operator. According to the book, mecha operators are divided into five levels, from one star to five stars! A one-star mecha operator operating a black lizard mecha has combat strength comparable to a lower abyss. But the destructive power of the mecha itself is enough to kill a middle or even upper abyss. But the other hardware doesn't match. It's difficult to hit the enemy even with a laser knife. Its comprehensive combat strength is only lower abyss. "
"A two-star mecha operator operating a dragon mecha has combat strength comparable to a middle abyss. A three-star mecha operator operating a heaven punishment mecha has combat strength comparable to a upper abyss … "
"A four-star mecha operator operating an Athena mecha has combat strength comparable to a lord of the abyss!"
"And a five-star mecha operator operating a Genesis god mecha has combat strength comparable to a king!"
"A one-star pilot like Su Ming needs to train hard every day. He doesn't have the qualifications to take a leave of absence unless a relative dies …" Dudian half closed his eyes as he calculated in his mind, "But a three-star pilot can take a leave of absence. A three-star pilot can operate the Xingtian mecha. They can serve as the captain of the Black Lizard mecha on the battlefield. They are also called mecha masters!"
"As for a four-star mecha operator, in addition to the official title of 'four-star mecha operator', they are also called the king of mecha!"
"And a five-star mecha operator is called a legend!"
Dean sighed in his heart. If it wasn't for the condition of a five-star mecha operator hindering him, he would've been excited after reading this booklet. He would've become a five-star mecha operator in any case. Then he could get a Genesis god mecha and have combat strength comparable to the king of the empire!
However, it wasn't difficult for him to become a three-star mecha operator. He could easily meet the requirements of brain and body. If he spent more time, it wouldn't be a problem to become a four-star mecha operator. As for becoming a five-star mecha pilot, he would be able to complete the test in another two months. Although a five-star mecha pilot would need to reach the level of a grandmaster in terms of military tactics in addition to piloting, they would also need to have a vast amount of mecha knowledge, as well as many other types of knowledge. However, all of these were things that he could learn. The only thing he couldn't do was for a five-star mecha pilot would have to surrender all of their loyalty!
