It was precisely because of Xiao Ran that the four-man team failed the newbie mission. They fell behind some of the newbies, and the airframes they received were also ZAFT's miscellaneous airframes. Most importantly, they were all airframes that could be used in atmospheric environments. It was not easy for them to earn enough rewards for the second mission, and they risked their lives to do so. After spending all their savings to build four airframes, the third mission fell to Xiao Ran. They even lost some of their airframes. As a result, half of their efforts in the second mission were wasted.
Of the rewards they received, just the Mech alone was already very difficult, let alone the strengthening of themselves. Speaking of what happened during that period of time, Harvey felt like crying. But now, he didn't even have the chance to take revenge, and it would never happen again. Harvey began to look at Xiao Ran with his pair of sorrowful eyes.
But speaking of which, among the newbie participants who entered the Gundam SEED with Xiao Ran, Aeschi and the other three were not the only ones who were cheated. Xiao Ran made up a lie about the reinforcers being transformed into humans. For the sake of credibility, he even included himself in the lie. Even Xiao Ran did not know how many newbies he had cheated.
"Haha." At this time, Xiao Ran could only laugh awkwardly. However, in order to untie the knot in the hearts of the four people, he didn't want them to feel even more depressed and think that he was a person who didn't dare to take responsibility. Therefore, after laughing awkwardly, Xiao Ran once again said in an awkward tone, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Well, for the first newbie mission, you chose to join the alliance army at the beginning, but there were some small problems in the middle, right?"
"Yes, if that bastard hadn't cheated us in the newbie mission, we wouldn't have …" Harvey said hatefully, but Baines pulled his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth. He immediately glared at Baines in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?!"
Xiao Ran was a little embarrassed. He really felt embarrassed. In fact, he cheated the other party twice. Including today, it was a total of three times. Not only did he cheat the other party, but he also cheated the other party into becoming his underling. Although that kind of feeling gave Xiao Ran a sense of comfort, he still felt very embarrassed and embarrassed in front of the person involved.
"Well, let's not talk about the previous matter. I'll make some arrangements for you and compensate you appropriately for this mission. In addition, after the mission is over, I'll also unconditionally modify the airframes of the four of you." Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and asked, "Then, will your change of faction affect the main mission in any way? Or will you suffer any losses?"
Aeschi glanced at Harvey lightly. Even an idiot could see the warning in his eyes. In addition, Baines stopped him from talking. After a moment of daze, Harvey came back to his senses. After looking at Xiao Ran with a complicated expression, he lowered his head bitterly and said no more.
After Harvey lowered his head, Aeschi said, "It's okay. Our change of faction happened after the three airframes were stolen. We thought it would be a chance to trigger a side mission, but we didn't expect … Well, although the main mission is to ensure the safety of the Minerva, this should be considered a completed mission. Once we change factions, the main mission will also change accordingly."
"Is that so? Then it's okay." Xiao Ran rubbed his chin and nodded gently. At the same time, a huge question mark appeared in his mind. The previous arrangement of identities was already very strange, but now, listening to Aeschi's words, it seemed that the conditions for changing factions were clearly announced. However, this was not the case for Xiao Ran. He had to rely on himself to trigger it. Everything was so mysterious that Xiao Ran couldn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
"Could this be the difference between the storyline characters and the other participants?" Xiao Ran shook his head. He looked at the four of them again and said, "Since you've joined the division and are considered to have left the ZAFT faction, I have some ideas about your arrangements. Originally, I planned to contact the other party personally, but it's not a bad idea to have you guys act as the vanguard."
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Aeschi and the others knew that Xiao Ran was preparing to make arrangements for them. So, even Harvey, who had lowered his head, suddenly looked up and listened to Xiao Ran's next words carefully.
"I'll write a personal letter and arrange for you to go to Aube. You guys go there and find a person named Natale Bakirulu. She should arrange for you to join the Aube faction. You guys will temporarily listen to her arrangements and ensure her safety. Then, find a person named Mary. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them should be together. But if the situation is different from what I think, then you'll need to change your universe and join a neutral organization called D.S.S.D. Find a way to join them. I'll also write you another personal letter, and the people there will arrange for you to join them after reading it."
"I'm sure that not long after you join D.S.S.D, the joint army will launch a war on that side. Your mission is to ensure the safety of D.S.S.D. But you can rest assured that if you don't join Aube and join D.S.S.D instead, I'll personally appear there, so you don't have to worry about your safety. I'll also find a way to contact you at any time so you can trigger as many side missions as possible."
D.S.S.D was a neutral scientific research organization in the Gundam SEED world. It was a professional organization in the development and exploration of the deep universe. It had very powerful technical strength and had very good research in large-scale bionic machinery, solar energy utilization, and quantum science. The Wings of Light that Assault Freedom, Infinite Justice, Fate, and Legend were attached to were a variant of the propulsion system of the Radiant Bearer. The Stargazer Gundam they built was also a body with extremely special abilities. Some of its technologies were quite attractive to Xiao Ran.
In the storyline, the Phantom Force that Xiao Ran was in took a fancy to the technology of this organization and attacked it. At the same time, they destroyed a lot of very good research products. Since Xiao Ran had come to this world and knew the technical strength of D.S.S.D, he naturally did not want this neutral organization to suffer the same blow as in the original storyline. This was not because Xiao Ran also had his eyes on the other party's technology, but it was also a reward for the support that D.S.S.D provided to him during the last mission in this world.
Aube and D.S.S.D blinked and nodded slightly. "We understand. When do we leave?"
D.S.S.D did not have too many doubts and directly accepted Xiao Ran's arrangement. As a subordinate, he did not need to know too much about the considerations of a superior, so Xiao Ran was quite satisfied with D.S.S.D, so he took the initiative to explain. "I'm currently a senior commander of a special unit in the Joint Army, but it's not a place where I can stay for long. When I have the opportunity to change factions, I will also change my faction to Aube. D.S.S.D and Aube have a very deep relationship, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are allies, so no matter which side you join, we will definitely be on the same side. Also, it's best that you accept the side quest in this mission world."
"As for the time of departure …" Xiao Ran gently tilted the table in front of him and said, "It's not the right time now. Later on, that old fox Dilandar will do something in the universe. I'm afraid you guys don't know yet, but in fact, he was the one who orchestrated the snatching of the Airframe. Although I still don't know what he wants to do, you guys should stay on the ship for a while. Maybe your strength will be needed in the future."
The four of them looked at each other, slightly surprised. They did not know whether they were surprised by Xiao Ran's words that everything was arranged by the seemingly gentle Dilandar, or surprised by Xiao Ran's understanding of this world and even his speculations about the future.
After Xiao Ran gave the four of them the right to move freely on the ship apart from the bridge and Gnacou, he had the soldiers outside lead them out of his room. After all, Xiao Ran also had to give face to Captain Ian Lee. Since Captain Ian Lee did not allow the four of them to get close to Gnacou, Xiao Ran naturally would not go against him over such a small matter and embarrass a captain.
However, not long after the four of them left, Ian Lee took the initiative to come to Xiao Ran and asked, "Colonel Nio, is it okay to just give them the right to move freely?"
Xiao Ran gestured for Ian Lee to take a seat. Although there were no seats for the four of them, there were still seats for Ian Lee in the room other than Xiao Ran. After Ian Lee sat down, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head. "It's fine. The information they gave me is enough for them to move freely on the ship."
"Is that so? Looks like it's some important information." Ian Lee looked at the smile on Xiao Ran's face and nodded slightly. As a qualified captain of the special operations force, Ian Lee knew what to ask and what not to ask better than the participants. However, he still reminded, "Don't we need to report this to the other side?"
"Not for the time being." Xiao Ran raised his hand and shook his head. "Although I don't doubt the authenticity of this information, we don't have the slightest evidence to objectively prove its authenticity. Once we start investigating, it will be a huge burden for us outside of our main mission. I'm afraid that we will also incur the wrath of some arrogant people. Let's wait until we complete this mission before reporting it."
