PS: That's all for today. I'm not feeling well. I originally wanted to take a break, but after thinking about it, I decided to write another chapter. I'll enter the mission world tomorrow. The stats and consumption of this enhancement will be posted separately. The materials purchased will also be posted in the work's related section.
In just two or three days, Xiao Ran, who was extremely short on war merit points, instantly became a tycoon. The income from this single enhancement was almost equal to all of Xiao Ran's gains. In the end, Xiao Ran received 19 million war merit points.
Lao Luo gave Xiao Ran a total of 19 million war merit points after deducting his commission. Xiao Ran did not know how much he had sold, but he could tell that the price of the warship should not exceed 20 million. Moreover, Lao Luo also waived the remaining cost of the maintenance and inspection of the warship. Although it was not a lot, it at least showed Lao Luo's sincerity.
After obtaining so many war merit points, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a sense of wealth that he had never felt before. It gave Xiao Ran the illusion that it was too easy to earn war merit points. However, he was also secretly surprised by the strength of the Corps that had purchased the warship. To be able to take out so many war merit points to purchase a warship, it meant that the Corps that purchased the warship must have a very rich reserve of war merit points.
At first glance, 20 million war merit points seemed like a lot. It was enough for Xiao Ran to spend as much as he wanted. It was enough for him to enhance the strength of the entire team from the beginning to the end. However, when he thought about it carefully, although 20 million war merit points seemed like a lot, it was actually not much. It seemed like a lot, but it would be used very quickly.
If he enhanced everyone in the team, each person would have 300,000 war merit points, so 14 people would have 3.8 million war merit points.
Of course, there would be some discrepancies. The enhancement quota for the three newcomers would definitely not be too high. However, even if it was cheaper, enhancing 14 people would still require about 3 million war merit points, not to mention the production line blueprints that had not been converted into actual items. The production line for the GN-X and GN-T solar furnaces would cost at least 1.5 million units.
Being able to create a production line for MS would definitely be beneficial to the army. This one-time investment would yield long-term returns, and the key was the ability to mass produce MS. Once it was mass-produced, there would be basically no one on duty, freeing Law from the pure MS manufacturing. The mass-produced body could not only be supplied to the Burning Legion, but also to the 25th Fleet.
In addition, after establishing the Legion, Law also needed to purchase large-scale Mechanic equipment. Sooner or later, he would have to buy these things sooner or later. With all these things added up, Xiao Ran's current net worth would probably shrink by a lot. This did not include the war merit points that would be consumed for the development of the base. Expanding and upgrading the base required war merit points.
For example, the Material Warehouse, the Public Warehouse, and the War Merit Warehouse. Just the warehouse alone had several different uses. It was like playing a game. Only by leveling up could more items be stored. If he wanted to upgrade it, he would have to invest more battle achievement points into it. The higher the level, the more things could be stored. Therefore, the size of the warehouse and the things stored in it also represented the strength of the Legion to a certain extent.
In addition to the warehouse, there were also research institutes, material processing plants, etc., that Xiao Ran did not know the purpose of. There were also standard buildings such as repair workshops, factory buildings, trade union system stores, battleship accommodation channels, and so on. Every one of these things required war merit points to be built and upgraded again. If he wanted to build all the buildings and upgrade them to the corresponding level, Xiao Ran would not have enough war merit points to invest in the Legion after strengthening the members of his team.
He could not invest war merit points in it. The Burning Legion would also not have any gains. Only with investment would there be returns. However, it was simply unrealistic to completely rely on Xiao Ran alone, or completely rely on the Legion's territory. Xiao Ran only hoped that this investment would allow the Legion to have visible gains, then he would be satisfied.
With this amount of war merit points, Xiao Ran did not rush to build the Legion base. He didn't rush to build a building in the base. Instead, he first brought his partners to the strengthening center of the trading area. He took the lead in strengthening the three newcomers. He also used the serum from the revolutionary world reward on Elfrid.
This was what Xiao Ran had promised El Erf. It was also one of the key reasons why El Erf was willing to follow Xiao Ran to this world. He wanted to obtain a body that could allow him to live with his loved one for a long time.
After years of training, El Erf's physical attributes were only a few times that of an ordinary person. It was very powerful for ordinary people, but it was not worth mentioning for the participants. The consumption of strengthening attributes was not high, and he was not a main combatant. In fact, the consumption of 100 points was not too high. However, because of the strengthening of the bloodline, his physique had been greatly improved.
Ryukino's attributes were also very strange. His physique was so high that it was incomprehensible. His physique was more than 50 points, leaving his other attributes far behind. His spirit was only twice as high as an ordinary person. The other attributes were also relatively normal, but none of them exceeded 25.
After the transformation, Dugus's attributes were also very good. His physique was slightly lower, and his average attributes had reached 40. He had the attributes model of a peak C-grade pilot.
The strengthening of attributes may not be so important to El Erf, who was not a main combatant, but it also made his body undergo tremendous changes. As for Ryukino and Dugus, they were more agile and more accurate in shooting, which would allow them to better control the body of the mech.
After strengthening the three newcomers, he began to strengthen the remaining people. Everyone was strengthened by the 50 points limit that would only appear after the second strengthening. The strengthening of so many people consumed a lot of war merit points, especially for him, Cruzet, Sherry Dew, and other people whose attributes were already high enough.
Graham was officially promoted to a B-grade pilot. While his combat specialization skills were suddenly upgraded to Level 6, he also learned a second specialization, Assault Specialization, and upgraded it to the highest Level 3. In terms of skills, the others did not have much change.
For El Erf and the other two, it was a very strange thing to feel the difference in their bodies due to the strengthening. From the beginning, they could not perfectly control their bodies, until they were completely familiar with the new physical attributes, it took some time. Dugus was keenly aware of the difference brought about by the so-called attribute strengthening when piloting the mech.
It was a kind of strength that had nothing to do with piloting skills, but there was a strange feeling of being able to do it better and faster. Dugus knew that this was an illusion, but if he did not recognize this illusion, it was very likely that problems would arise in future battles because of this illusion. A qualified pilot should not have this kind of illusion.
However, before Dugus could ask any questions, all the team members entered the training room under the organization of Xiao Ran at the last moment. They began to break in battle after battle. Even Cruzet also joined in the training. Every member of the team knew very well that every training session was a way to familiarize themselves with their teammates. They would unknowingly gain a deeper understanding of their teammates, thus establishing a basic trust between them.
Dugus also really understood the strength of all the people in the current team during such training. He understood the real gap between B-grade and C-grade pilots. Xiao Ran, Cruzet, Bassac, and even Graham who had just been promoted to a B-grade pilot this time. In a one-on-one battle with these four people, Dugus had no chance of winning at all.
During the training process, Xiao Ran and Law did not train with the team all day long. Often, the two of them would quit training in the morning and then busy themselves with other things. A purchase that required a lot of merit points, materials, technology, and some inexpensive things in the system store that were very useful to ordinary people were basically within the scope of Xiao Ran's purchase. All of them would be sent to the 25th Ship Regiment.
At the same time, Law also had to build and modify Bassac's new model, his own new model, and the body that originally belonged to Bassac but now belonged to Graham. Dugus accepted Graham's original body, the Dark Heresy. He had no other requirements except for adding a large beam gun. The Dark Heresy was already very good in all aspects among the C + grade bodies. He only needed to make some adjustments to Dugus' driving habits.
In this way, they were busy until the last two days of the rest period. Xiao Ran finally stopped from being busy. Everyone, who had been training continuously for many days, could finally be freed from the training day and night.
In this last period, Xiao Ran decided to go to the novice world to receive the newcomers. Because of the restriction of the rules, he could only send five people instead of five participants into the mission world. Therefore, Xiao Ran could only bring El Erf, Dugus, Nalor, and Ryukino.
The reason for this choice was only because among all the people, Dugus, Nalor, and Ryukino were only C-grade combatants. Moreover, it was their first time carrying out Prometheus' mission. Therefore, Xiao Ran also hoped that they could be buffered in this novice world and help reduce some of the troubles of others.
Although the other team only had nine people, they occupied three B-grade pilots, Bassac, Cruzet, and Graham. Three people and three B-grade bodies. In particular, Bassac's new model's combat power was simply incredible. In addition, with the MANF-class battleship and Cruzet's scheming, completing the mission should not be difficult.
The others were basically the crew of the ship. They did not need to face the danger directly. It was just that there was an additional C-grade Law, who had the combat ability to at least stall a B-grade pilot. Naturally, it was needless to say.
