Xiao Ran's purpose in heading to the Trading Point was naturally to purchase some skills. At this time, before learning Weakness Identification, the only skills that could be used in battle were [Quick Lock] and [Spirit Burst], which was not a skill. Including the passive skill [Assault] and [Driving], it could be said that he was quite lacking in skills.
Sherry Dew's skills were all support skills, so she needed a defensive skill to ensure her safety. Similarly, it would be better to pair it with an offensive skill.
In the Trading Point, Xiao Ran did not pay much attention to the components and bodies. At most, he paid attention to whether there were any defensive components like [Beam Shield] or [I Force Field]. He planned to install one for the VF-27, which was about to be completed. Although the VF-27 would be built using Gundam Alloy, there were not many units. There were still some areas that could not be taken into consideration in terms of defense. If he could get a defensive equipment as a supplement, it would be a good choice to add some powerful weapons.
However, Xiao Ran did not plan to bring the VF-27 with him for this upcoming mission. After all, he could only bring three bodies into the mission world. The [Sacred Lightning Shield], [Dark Heresy], and [Black Hawk] were enough. As for the VF-27, it would not be too late to improve it after he returned from this mission.
After browsing around, Xiao Ran found that there were very few places that sold skills. Most of them were low-level skills like [Detection].
For example, Xiao Ran saw a skill:
[Snipe]: Consume 5 Spirit. Increase weapon range by 20% for 3 minutes. Cannot use any driving skills for 5 minutes after the effect ends. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
It was a skill that increased range and had a long cooldown. It was not suitable for Xiao Ran and Sherry Dew.
[Accuracy]: Consume 5 Spirit. Increase attack accuracy for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
Now that Xiao Ran had Quick Lock, there was no point in using such a skill. Moreover, it was the kind that couldn't be leveled up. Even if he gave it to Sherry Dew, it would not be of much use.
The price of this skill was not cheap. [Snipe] cost 30,000 war achievement points. [Accuracy] cost 25,000 war achievement points. No matter how many war achievement points Xiao Ran had, he would not waste them on skills that were completely useless to him.
However, Xiao Ran did see a B-rank skill. It was a status buff skill, somewhat similar to his Mental Explosion.
Potential Outburst: Consumes 10 Spirit. Increases the corresponding main attribute by 10% according to the driving mastery. Secondary attribute increased by 5%. Duration: 10 seconds. The price of this skill was 100,000 war merit points, and it was also a skill that could not be upgraded.
Xiao Ran looked at it with interest, but after seeing that it couldn't be upgraded and that it cost 100,000 war points, he gave up on the idea of buying it. After all, Mental Explosion didn't have a time limit, and he felt that the consumption of Mental Explosion was similar to this skill, but the increase in power was much higher.
After strolling around for over two hours, Xiao Ran managed to gain something by the time he left the safe zone. He now had two skills and two plug-ins, as well as two items worth 100,000 points each. However, after these two hours of experience, Xiao Ran confirmed his thoughts. Skills that could increase attribute strength might be rare, but the price would be very high. At the very least, he had not been able to buy one today.
Fortify: Consumes 15 points of Spirit. Spirit will form a fragile shield on the surface of the body, causing the next attack from the enemy to be reduced by 20%. Price: 40,000 war achievement points. This was prepared for Sherry Dew.
Hand Speed Outburst: Consumes 3 Spirit. Increases hand speed by 25%. Duration: 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute. Price: 30,000 war achievement points. It was also a skill that could not be upgraded, but it could instantly increase hand speed. If used together with [Mental Explosion], the 25% increase in hand speed would allow Xiao Ran's hand speed to increase to an extremely exaggerated level. It would be very useful whether it was used in close combat or shooting.
[High Energy Shooting]: C + grade plug-in. Attack energy consumption is doubled. Attack power is doubled. Effective against beam weapons. The effect of weapons above B- grade is halved. Manually turned on or off, but will cause high heat until the weapon is destroyed. After strolling around the entire trading area, he bought a total of two plug-ins. One was worth 25,000, and the other was worth 30,000. Xiao Ran planned to install them on the Sacred Lightning Shield and the Dark Heresy.
Emergency Teleportation: One-time item. Automatically takes effect when the body is destroyed. Instantly teleports the pilot to a safe location (needs to be specified). Can be activated automatically. The price was 100,000, and the price of the two plug-ins was 200,000. This was a portable item that would take effect as long as one carried it on their body. It was the size of a mobile phone. It was considered an expensive life-saving skill. However, there were also countermeasure items, but the price of those items was even more frightening. Ordinary participants would not buy those countermeasure items. Having this was equivalent to having a life.
When Xiao Ran returned to the rented training room in the competition area, he only had 620,000 war achievement points left. He only had about 2 million war achievement points left. Xiao Ran did not plan to buy anything else. At most, he would buy a few more ammo and energy replenishment items. He also had to pay for the rental of the training room. It would cost about 10,000 to 20,000 war achievement points. He planned to keep the rest for the time being in case he needed to use them.
Time passed day by day. Lao Luo had also sent the modified and rebuilt body to Xiao Ran's Gnacou. Looking at the brand new Dark Heresy with the Justice Gundam's Fate-00 backpack, the original energy components and thrusters inside the backpack had been changed into a thermonuclear energy engine. The thermonuclear energy engine was installed in the middle of the backpack. This part of the backpack was slightly thickened. The original two thrusters were not modified, so now the backpack had three thrusters. The speed of the thrusters was also increased from B- to B-.
The backpack came with the PS armor, but it was not the VPS armor. However, Lao Luo had used some method to change the color of the armor to black gold, which matched the color of the Dark Heresy.
On the body of the Dark Heresy, the original rotating shield that reflected light was replaced with a dual shoulder rotating shield cannon (referring to the shoulder cannon of the AGE-2). The appearance of the dual shoulder shield cannon was also modified to look more like a pair of wings. The energy structure was also completely changed. The body's thrusters and energy package were directly removed and replaced with the thermonuclear energy engine thrusters modified by Lao Luo. The body of the Dark Heresy was transformed into an energy source that could be combined with the body's thermonuclear energy source and backpack energy source. The original battery and thrusters were also installed on the shoulder shield cannon, allowing the Dark Heresy to fly without the backpack.
On the Sacred Lightning Shield, the shield had been completely modified into a weapon. Nine muzzles were neatly arranged around the thickened shield, and the muzzles were all facing the same direction. Although the shield had been thickened, the Sparrow Screen Shattering Crossbow was originally smaller than the average weapon. Therefore, it wasn't a problem to dismantle it and put it back together. Old Luo also took the initiative to install a small optical sight on each of the muzzles. Other than the main firing port in the middle of the shield, the other secondary firing ports could be adjusted to be no more than 30 degrees.
As for the thermonuclear energy engine, it was installed in a similar position to the one in Transdimensional Fortress F. They were all installed on the composite armed thruster module, but at that time in Transdimensional Fortress F, Lao Luo chose to install it next to the beam gun. He also made a little modification to the composite module so that the thermonuclear energy engine was also wrapped inside the arc-shaped armor.
The Black Hawk did not change much. After all, it was only installed with a beam shield, but Lao Luo also kindly added the PS armor to the body. The live ammunition defense was very different from before.
In addition, there was a brand-new black VF-27, a complete production line, and ten GHOST-9V fighters. Looking at so many things, Xiao Ran could not help but feel a strong sense of accomplishment.
The GHOST-9V drone was not a body, but an attachment. Xiao Ran tried to see if it could be put in the storage bar. He did not expect it to be able to be put in, but the prompt also told Xiao Ran that once it left the Prometheus, it could not be put in again once it was taken out. Every five drones occupied a grid, but Xiao Ran had a lot of grids, except for the storage of energy replenishment props and ammunition replenishment props. There was only a first aid kit and nothing else.
The production line was placed in a corner of the Gnacou. Even with so many things, the Gnacou that Xiao Ran materialized did not become crowded. It still looked so spacious. Xiao Ran directly ordered the production of a heavy armor backpack that could be used by both the VF-27 and the VF-25. He directly made ten of them and put them in the storage bar, occupying two of each.
He also went all out to produce five thousand missiles, one thousand high-explosive bombs, and five hundred interference bombs. He put them in the storage bar, occupying three grids.
In the last week, there was no need to stay behind to produce those things. Xiao Ran let Sherry Dew undergo intensive training. She stayed in the training room for almost the entire day. He even spent 5,000 war merit points every day to conduct a battlefield simulation so that Sherry Dew could fight with him in the training room.
On the second last day of training, after a total of close to twenty days of intense training in this mission cycle, Sherry Dew's D-class general driving skill was finally upgraded with Xiao Ran's investment of war merit points. Xiao Ran immediately let Sherry Dew enhance her support-type driving skill to Level 3. She received a 9% increase in both her spirit and endurance.
However, Xiao Ran also discovered that although Sherry Dew's driving skill had been upgraded to C-class, her actual combat strength was still somewhat terrible. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she hit the target from time to time and her skills were too weak. At most, she could go up against a D-class mech one on one. Moreover, it would take her a few minutes to destroy the simulated D-class mech.
Although her combat strength was not strong, her survivability was quite good. At least, Xiao Ran could not do anything to Sherry Dew, who was flying around in the Black Hawk, without activating [Spirit Burst] while driving the Sacred Lightning Shield.
It was finally the last day of rest. On this day, Xiao Ran and Sherry Dew did nothing. They just rested at home and played games to relax their tense nerves. At night, a certain sound in the room did not stop for a long time, completely relaxing themselves.
