The duration of this mission wasn't the shortest or the longest among all the missions they had undertaken, but it was still a few months' worth of experience. However, after returning to Prometheus, everything that happened during the mission seemed to have been compressed into yesterday. The separation before the start of the mission was still fresh in their minds. Xiao Ran gazed at the party who had opened their eyes from the dissipating pillar of light. He didn't feel the slightest bit of distance between them. He smiled at them and waved his hand gently. "Alright, let's go." Everyone opened their eyes after the pillar of light dissipated.
"Yo, long time no see."
After Sherry Dew opened her eyes and saw Xiao Ran's familiar and amiable smile, she immediately threw herself at Xiao Ran's chest. While Xiao Ran hurriedly hugged her, he also endured Sherry Dew's dissatisfied beating. "Bastard, we've been separated for so long and you still act like nothing happened."
Xiao Ran felt the strength in Sherry Dew's hands and the nostalgia and fatigue that flashed in her eyes. He also touched Sherry Dew's hair and smiled apologetically at Mary who was standing a few steps away. He then lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, this mission really can't be risky."
"I know." Sherry Dew pushed Xiao Ran away and snorted twice. "I'm not an unreasonable person. I know you have to take care of the newcomers in this mission. One more person's strength is one more guarantee. It's just that I'm a little unhappy when I see you acting like nothing happened."
"Yes, I'm wrong." Xiao Ran chuckled and admitted his mistake along with Sherry Dew's temper. Xiao Ran also knew that Sherry Dew was sometimes a little arrogant and unreasonable, but that was only because of her temper. In fact, Sherry Dew was also a very strong and sensible woman. However, this was the first time the two had separated after knowing each other for so long. Sherry Dew was worried about Xiao Ran's safety and feeling that they could not face danger together. Xiao Ran could understand a little.
Seeing that Xiao Ran's attitude was so good, and the key was that he did not get hurt or change his attitude towards her because of this mission, Sherry Dew nodded in satisfaction. She crossed her arms and walked to the side, leaving the rest to the others.
After this mission, Kreutzer once again had a different aura. It seems to have become more elegant, revealing a faint aristocratic atmosphere that was not there before. Although the disease that had been cured by Prometheus did not let Cruzet take off his mask, and the half of his face that was not covered by the mask also showed a smile.
Law also grinned at Xiao Ran. He also made a peace sign to Xiao Ran to show that he had a very good time in this mission. Bassac did not seem to focus on Xiao Ran and the others, but Look Around. When he did not see what he wanted to see, he nodded to Xiao Ran, and his eyes also revealed a kind of inquiry.
Moses. Billy seemed to have calmed down a lot, but when Xiao Ran's eyes drifted over the two of them, there was no difference between them as before. Moses's smile, Billy's hearty smile, and the unchanging military salute.
Bobby was waving his hands and greeting Nalor, Ryukino, and others behind Xiao Ran. Graham nodded slightly to Xiao Ran, and then focused his attention on Nalor, and then showed a relaxed smile.
Mary was like soft water, after seeing Xiao Ran's eyes. She shook her head gently and showed a gentle smile. From time to time, she looked at Sherry Dew and Xiao Ran. Her eyes were full of tenderness and longing for Xiao Ran.
Glancing at the crowd, Xiao Ran also smiled easily, "I'm relieved to see that everyone can come back safely. This mission has been hard."
Kreutzer smiled faintly. "It's not to the extent of suffering. After all, this is only the first mission after the difficulty has been raised. Moreover, there are three B-grade pilots present in this mission. A battleship like the Milky Way Songstress is not something that the other participants can easily own. Therefore, the mission process is not so difficult that it requires a fierce battle. However, we have encountered many enemies with different abilities during the mission. The battle with these enemies made us rack our brains, and thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, we were able to complete the mission. "
"Is that so." Xiao Ran was a little surprised. Although Cruzet said it was unfortunate, it was not tragic. However, the words "concerted efforts" and "racked our brains" also showed that the mission Cruzet and the others carried out this time was not so simple.
Xiao Ran looked at the burgundy suit Cruzet was wearing, and then looked at the other people wearing dark blue suits of similar styles but different colors. A familiar feeling rose in his mind. After pondering for a while, he said, "Tell me the process of the mission in detail later, but now we have to go to the army base to meet the newcomers. In this mission, other than the people recommended by Nalor and Bassac, there are also many newcomers with good potential. We have to make arrangements for them. We can't let them die so easily in the mission world. "
Cruzet nodded and said, "Although some of the things we encountered during the mission have become a little vague in our memory, we still remember what we have experienced."
It was normal for Xiao Ran to want to understand the situation and process of Kreutzer and the others' mission this time. Moreover, Xiao Ran also needed to know if there were any fundamental changes compared to the previous missions after the increase in difficulty. Was it purely due to the difference in the world itself, the difference in the level of the Mech, the difference in the pilot's level, or would there be some inexplicable situation that would increase the difficulty? Moreover, Xiao Ran also felt that the clothes everyone was wearing were obviously familiar to him. It should be a world that he had some understanding of.
Everyone immediately turned to the army base and directly teleported to the army base through the teleportation gate in the private living area without taking a detour. At this time, all the newcomers who came to this world from the 25th Ship Regiment had arrived at the base and were waiting for Xiao Ran's arrival.
As for the other newcomers, perhaps because it was their first time coming into contact with the Prometheus, just like how Xiao Ran felt after completing his first mission, they felt an inexplicable sense of exhaustion and confusion about the future. Not many people arrived at the base immediately after the evaluation, including Nalor and Bassac's clansmen. Other than Ozma and the others from the 25th Ship Regiment, only one-third of all the newcomers arrived at the base.
Xiao Ran also gave the newcomers an hour of buffer time, so there was no such thing as being late during this period. Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Ran put all the D-grade and C-grade plug-ins and components that he did not need into the army's warehouse, becoming the first batch of army equipment reserve.
This time, he experienced a newcomer's mission that could be said to be of no difficulty to Xiao Ran at all. He accepted the newcomers smoothly and returned to the Prometheus after completing the mission. However, a newcomer's mission was only a newcomer's mission after all. Even if his true strength was limited in the mission, the execution of the mission still did not have any difficulty. It was extremely easy.
However, the simplicity of the mission often meant that the rewards of the mission would not be too good. With Xiao Ran's current true strength, all the rewards obtained in this mission were completely useless to Xiao Ran, even the C-grade mech GN-X that had been modified by Anaheim.
Therefore, in addition to the attribute points, the mech's body and components were also included. Xiao Ran threw the plug-ins into the army's warehouse without thinking, together with Nalor, the Skeleton Squad, and the others. They were prepared to give these things that were not suitable and useless to the newcomers to enhance the strength of the newcomers.
The equipment, components, plug-ins, and mech's bodies that were useless to Xiao Ran and the others were things that could really enhance the combat strength of the newcomers. Including the exclusive mech's bodies that they obtained after completing the mission, it could be said that very few newcomers could obtain a truly suitable mech's body in their first mission, and there were even components and plug-ins that they could use.
As for the things that Xiao Ran put into the army's warehouse. It was not only the rewards obtained from this newcomer's mission, but also some spoils of war that Cruzet, Graham, and the others obtained during the mission, as well as some things that were left behind. Although these things could be sold for some war achievement points in the Trading Point, it would not be too much. With Xiao Ran's current war achievement points, he would not give up the opportunity to strengthen his own army for such a small amount of war achievement points. Furthermore, after the settlement of Cruzet and the others, Xiao Ran had once again obtained a sum of war achievement points that was countless times more than what he obtained in World 0079. Therefore, he did not care about the war achievement points that he could get from selling these things.
Of course. Even if Xiao Ran could distribute different components and plug-ins according to the direction that the newcomers were good at, it was impossible for him to give these things unconditionally to the newcomers forever. This was not because Xiao Ran was stingy, but this method would make the newcomers lose the motivation to work hard. Although the army was the newcomers' reliance, the newcomers were also one of the indispensable conditions for the army's development. Even if Xiao Ran could not take charge of the army alone, he wanted the newcomers to have a considerable amount of ability, not babies that would hide under the army's wings and never grow up.
Therefore, just like the games on Earth, Xiao Ran set up a method of exchanging points and war achievement points for all the items in the army's warehouse. The better the item, the more points or war achievement points were required. If there were no war achievement points, they could use pure points to exchange, and if there were no points, they could use war achievement points to exchange. If both methods were not enough, then they would use points and war achievement points to exchange, and the exchange of points and war achievement points would be based on a one-to-one exchange. The source of points would be the war achievement points and supplies they provided for the army during normal missions and army missions.
Similarly, if they handed in some things that the army needed, they could also obtain points for the competition. They could even put their own items into the army's warehouse or directly trade with the army members. Finally, if they completed any mission that Xiao Ran arranged, Xiao Ran would also give them a certain amount of points according to the difficulty of the mission he arranged. As for the other points exchange methods, they could also be added according to future developments.
In this way, the army's warehouse would also become more and more full due to the appearance of the point exchange method. In addition, some of the items that Xiao Ran and the other high-level participants put in could also give the newcomers hope of exchanging them and make them work hard to complete the mission. At the same time, because they provided war achievement points and supplies to the army after every mission, their points would increase more and more. In the end, these newcomers would have a higher degree of belonging to the army until they were completely reluctant to leave.
This time, Xiao Ran adopted the method of exchanging points for the first batch of items, and it was at a very low level. For example, the GN-X he drove in the mission world before, Xiao Ran only marked that it could be exchanged for at a super low price of 10,000 points to motivate these newcomers. However, he also limited the condition that one must be a C-rank pilot to be able to exchange for it. As for the remaining two GN-X's, they would also be placed in the warehouse at a price of 10,000 points and the condition of a C-rank pilot after the thermonuclear energy engine and circuit modification were carried out. They would be placed in the warehouse for the first three newcomers who had reached C-rank pilot to exchange for them.
Of course, Xiao Ran had the GN-X and solar furnace production lines. There would also be more C-class airframes, such as the VF fighter, the Heresy series, and so on. However, the price of producing a C-class airframe couldn't be only 10,000 points, so after the first three airframes were exchanged, the subsequent C-class airframes couldn't be obtained at such a low price.
After all the arrangements were made, the newcomers had all arrived at the army base. If the 10 people of the 25th Ship Crew, Nalor, and Bassac were not included, then there were only 14 newcomers who joined the army this time. The reason why only 34 people participated in the previous mission was because of Captain Vry, the bridge trio, and Nalor's clansman who was preparing to develop into a helmsman, a total of five people returned first. Otherwise, if Xiao Ran, Nalor, and El Erf were included, there would be a total of 39 people participating in the mission.
This was the first time the newcomers came into contact with the world of Prometheus, and it was also the first time they came into contact with the army, so they did not find anything wrong with the army base's empty look. In fact, the teleportation gate that led to World F of the Ultra Space-Time Fortress was enough to shock the newcomers.
