The group of four who were originally at ease in World 00 had now become a group of five. A beautiful and intellectual woman had become their new member. This new member seemed to be about the same age as Mary. She was wearing a tight black open-cut dress and high heels. She didn't look like a normal participant at all.
This woman was currently looking at Xiao Ran curiously from below the stage. It was as if she wanted to use her eyes to see if there was any difference between Xiao Ran and the others. Compared to her, the four male members beside her were a little dumbfounded.
When Nalo found their team, they had not yet joined any army. Like most of the participants, they were preparing to join an army after one of their team members had advanced to B-Rank. In the entire team, other than the team leader who had piloted the Torusky and the new female participant who was about to advance to B-Rank, the other three people were still a little far away from advancing to B-Rank.
However, Nalor found them and told them that she had joined an army with a very good future. She hoped to have more trustworthy people to strengthen the army. At the beginning, Nalor didn't directly tell the W group about the Burning Legion. For example, the fact that the army had a faction territory.
She also didn't tell them that the leader of the army was the one who had cheated them in World 00, helped them choose their faction, and led them to obtain a lot of rewards in that mission. She also told them that many people in the army were participants who had worked together in World 00. She also told them that since the establishment of the army, most of the members had obtained a lot of rewards. Furthermore, there were very few casualties in missions.
She also told them about the army's points reward system and the rewards of the training match system. She also explained that the army already had the ability to create their own B-Rank mecha. If a small group performed well, they could even obtain a warship as a reward.
Nalor only talked about the benefits of the Burning Legion, but she didn't reveal any of the real secrets. The leader of the W group wasn't a fool, and the new female member didn't seem to be easy to convince either. Both of them knew that before their group joined the army, they definitely wouldn't have access to the core secrets of the army.
In any case, the W group that was stuck at B-Rank was moved. They could be provided with a B-Rank mecha, complete logistical support, and use less war achievement points to exchange for all the resources in the army. Moreover, it was a newly established army with great potential. As participants, once the army grew stronger, they would become veterans of the army. Their status and benefits would be very different.
Although they were moved, the W group didn't act immediately. This group's ability wasn't bad, and they were quite lucky. Among the participants in the same batch, they were definitely above average. Being able to obtain two main mecha of World W during the novice mission was enough to prove their strength.
If they hadn't met Xiao Ran in two consecutive missions, their development would definitely be much better than it was now. The first time they met, their mecha had been destroyed by Xiao Ran. Later on, their mecha had been completely destroyed by Xiao Ran. Just like Aeschi's group of four, they could only say that this was fate.
However, although they had suffered some setbacks, the development of this group was more normal than Aeschi's group. It was also much better than the average participants in the same batch. Otherwise, no one would have chosen to join their group. However, there were still some problems in front of their group. The first was the leader and the only female member who was about to be promoted to B-Rank. Obtaining a B-Rank mecha had become the most important problem in front of them. The team had been frugal for a long time in order to obtain two B-Rank mecha. Even so, they still couldn't afford two B-Rank mecha that they felt were suitable for them at once.
Compared to the stable price of a C-Rank mecha, the price of a B-Rank mecha was quite terrifying. There were three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, and there were even B-Rank mecha that were close to the limit of an A-Rank mecha. The price was even more frightening. Even if there were two B-Rank mecha that were neither good nor bad, it would be impossible to buy them without at least a million. Moreover, after buying the mecha, they would have to modify the mecha according to their personal habits and specialization. This was another sum of war points that they had to invest. This problem was right in front of them. Moreover, when they heard that the Burning Legion had the ability to customize their own B-Rank mecha, how could they not be tempted?
After Nalor understood this matter, she also contacted Xiao Ran. After Xiao Ran knew about it, he immediately asked Nalor to reply to the W group. Once one of them was promoted to B-Rank, the Burning Legion would create a B-Rank mecha suitable for them at the lowest cost. If they had any contributions in the Burning Legion, the more contributions they made, the greater the discount. They could even give the mecha for free.
Two B-Rank mecha, even if they were two peak B-Rank mecha, were a piece of cake for Xiao Ran who now had three faction territories. In fact, just in the territory of Aube's faction, Xiao Ran had already obtained the ability to create A-Rank mecha from the SEED world. Not to mention, he had already integrated the ship group and the unique technology of World 0079 for two years.
The investment in creating two B-Rank mecha in the faction territory was just a drizzle to Xiao Ran. The key was that the W group was indeed worth investing in. At least, Xiao Ran felt that it was so after interacting with the two worlds. Especially now that the Burning Legion lacked a true pillar, two B-Rank mecha pilots who were about to be promoted were definitely worth investing in.
Under such conditions, the W group joined the Burning Legion without hesitation. When they were about to sign the details of the Burning Legion's invitation, the team was sweating profusely when they saw the restrictions in all aspects. Confidentiality regulations, not being able to leave the Burning Legion, and all sorts of other regulations that were more stringent than many other Legion regulations did not scare them.
The really smart people would think about what kind of huge secrets were hidden behind such stringent regulations. More importantly, Xiao Ran's reply had really moved them. A B-Rank mecha specially made for them was definitely the dream of participants like them who did not have a Legion.
Speaking of which, the regulations of Prometheus' veteran Legion were also quite harsh. Members of different levels would have different restrictions. Even if they joined some of the bigger Legions, they would still not have the qualifications to know the core and the real secrets of the Legion. It was even more impossible for them to get the resources of the Legion at the beginning.
After choosing to join the Burning Legion, the W group naturally knew more about the Legion. After learning about the faction territory, they also gasped. The W group had once spent merit points to go to the faction territory of a certain Legion, so they naturally knew what a faction territory was. However, they did not expect that a newly established Legion would have something that other Legions could not ask for. Naturally, they understood why the harsh regulations of the Legion were so stringent.
There was no need to say more about the potential of the Legion. After joining the Legion, the W group only felt fortunate and did not regret it. To be able to become a veteran member of a Legion that had just started but had an advantage and potential that other Legions could not compare to was definitely something to be happy about.
However, when Xiao Ran gathered all the Legion members again, the moment the four men in the W group saw Xiao Ran, an inexplicable feeling rushed to the top of their heads. They widened their eyes and stared blankly at him.
Damn it, why does this person look so familiar?
Damn it, why does this person look so much like the person who tricked us?
Damn it, why does this person look so much like the person who tied a bomb to our necks and threatened us?
Damn it, why does this person look so much like the person who forced us to join the Legion and restricted our freedom?
Damn it, why does this person look so much like the person who ordered us to do this and that in the mission world and stabbed us in the back?
Damn it, why do I remember this person? He is not a native of this world at all. He is a participant. A participant who pretended to be a native of this world and tricked us into joining the Legion.
The face of the W group's leader instantly darkened. There was no need to talk about that disgraceful history. Back then, when a bomb was tied to their necks, they had no choice at all. They were forced to join the Legion and fight. Although the outcome was not bad, they felt that being threatened and forced by a native was definitely a disgrace to them as participants. What made him want to vomit blood was that the person who humiliated them was actually a participant and had become the boss of an Legion. More importantly, this person would always be their boss in the future.
The captain felt as if someone had dug a hole in front of him, and he had jumped into it happily. Most importantly, he had jumped into it twice in a row. That kind of feeling, that kind of satisfaction, made the captain feel grief and indignation.
But at this moment, the leader of the W group seemed to have seen that guy. That boss suddenly turned his head and looked at him. That half-smile made him feel a chill down his spine. He also felt that the future was dark. Back then, when the two of them were barely equal in status in the mission, they were already schemed against. Now that they had become someone else's subordinate, they would be schemed against everywhere. The leader seemed to be unable to see the future, but when he saw Xiao Ran's smile, he had no choice but to force himself to smile and greet him.
When Xiao Ran turned his head away, the leader also looked at his teammates beside him. He was surprised to find that other than the new female team member, the other three men had the same expression on their faces. They all wanted to cry but could not. They forced themselves to put on a smile that was uglier than crying. The leader suddenly realized that the expression on his face was exactly the same as theirs.
At this moment, the leader saw Nalor who invited them to join the Legion. Nalor even smiled at them from afar. That look, that expression, in the leader's eyes, was like the sinister smile of a little demon beside a big demon. No matter how he looked at it, it made him feel uncomfortable.
The only female participant in the team also saw the expression on the faces of her team members and the leader. She was also quite interested in why these people had such expressions on their faces. But presumably, it was impossible to get the real situation from her team members, so the female participant set her sights on Nalor who she had met before. The female participant believed that something interesting must have happened.
The four-man team also saw the new team that had just appeared. They felt an inexplicable sense of lingering fear when they saw the expressions on the other party's faces. It was a feeling of sympathy because they had also shown similar expressions on their faces before. Immediately, the four-man team cast sympathetic gazes at the W team.
What the hell, what does that sympathy mean? Hey hey hey, what do you mean by that!
Participants with stronger Perceptive Sense than ordinary people could naturally sense the presence of others under such undisguised gazes. The leader of W group clearly saw the sympathetic gazes cast by Aeschi's team of four. He was so anxious that he almost jumped up, but he quickly reacted and cast the same sympathetic gaze at the other party.
When the two parties' eyes met, they seemed to have understood something. A feeling of sympathy began to surround the two teams, and they also had a better impression of the other team.
Xiao Ran, who was standing on the stage, naturally saw the expressions on the faces of those people. He also felt that it was very funny. In fact, they wanted to cry but forced themselves to laugh. He could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he saw the expression on their faces. However, he did not have any intention to continue attacking them. Instead, after everyone had arrived, he knocked on the table to make everyone quiet down.
Looking at the many participants sitting neatly in front of him, Xiao Ran also felt a little emotional. From being a single person until now, he had many followers, three factions, and even his own army. The army also had so many people. He never thought that he would turn from a half-otaku into what he was today.
After a short silence of more than ten seconds, Xiao Ran raised his head again and said loudly, "I have read the reports of each team. In a while, we will send each member a special army communication device. You can connect to the army's information synchronization system in the device to check all the reports. I have made detailed comments on each report."
"Today, I asked everyone to come here because I want all the members to really get familiar with each other and form a real unit. If you haven't fought a battle or carried out a mission together, then this army can't really be united. So today, I will lead everyone to the mission world to carry out the army's mission."
