Chapter 26 Jean Wants to Strengthen? No!

"How about it, Captain Cruze, do you agree with my request?" Xiao Ran held the communicator in his hand, looked at Cruze on the screen and asked with a smile: "Or do you want to give up Lacus Klein. "

Kreuzer snorted coldly, looked at Lux with an innocent smile in the communication video, and knocked his hand heavily on the control panel of the machine: "The whole army stops attacking and evacuates the combat area."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Captain Kruse." Xiao Ran smiled gratefully, and said with a sigh of relief: "After your side evacuates, we will contact you again."

"Hmph." Kruze snorted coldly and hung up the communication. Seeing the big black screen, Xiao Ran let out a weak breath, turned to look at Maru, and said, "Forgive me for making my own decisions, I I think you don’t want to see the advance fleet completely wiped out here, so hurry up and contact the remaining two Derek-class warships to send search and rescue teams to see if there are any that can be rescued.”

Maru glanced at Xiao Ran and stood up: "Baki Lulu, I will leave this place to you, Lieutenant Xiao Ran, please follow me."

Bucky Lulu stood up and replied, "Yes!"

In the captain's room, Xiao Ran sat on a chair and looked at Maru, who was across a table in front of him. The latter held his chin with both fists, and wanted to question Xiao Ran several times, but in the end he just looked at Xiao Ran's pale face. face, sighed helplessly: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Ran, who thought he would be questioned why he did this, suddenly heard that Maliu cared about him, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, staring at Maliu until Lian Ran stared at Maliu until his face turned red. With a dissatisfied snort, Xiao Ran came back to his senses, and quickly said:

"It's nothing, but the energy consumption is too much, and the head is a little empty."

"It's fine." Maru glanced at Xiao Ran and nodded lightly, and asked, "Why did you do that? We shouldn't threaten civilians, and we want to hand over Lacus Klein to him on our own initiative." them."

Xiao Ran shook his head: "Even if I didn't do that at the time and watched the last two Drake-class warships sink, I believe that Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, who regards the Archangel as extremely important, would have done so. And Can the Archangel resist three battleships and five mobile suits? If we continue to delay, another Lorasia-class warship that has been following us may appear at any time, then we will face at least eight mobile suits and four mobile suits. battleships, four of which are still Gundams, what do you think of the Archangel?"

Maru shook her head. She also knew that if the Archangel fought alone, it would definitely not be an opponent of three warships and five mobile suits. Once the battle started, the Strike Gundam would be entangled by the Holy Shield Gundam, and Mu's MA would be entangled by Sigu. The Archangel facing three warships plus three Zeons has a more than 80% chance of being sunk.

Xiao Ran looked at Maliu seriously: "And Maliu...do you really want Lacus to be taken to the moon base?"

"I am a soldier now, and Lacus will bring us many favorable conditions." Marius sighed, and continued helplessly: "But from my personal standpoint, I am not willing. Lacus' identity It's too special, and I don't want to see Lux receive any special treatment. It's just this way..."

Xiao Ran interrupted Maliu: "Isn't that good? I also don't want Lux to fall into the hands of the Earth Army, and now only Lux can help us out of danger. Although the means are not very good, but Lux herself has no objection to this approach, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"Also, we can take this opportunity to return Lux to them,

A war should not allow such children to take responsibility and become a bargaining chip in victory or defeat. At the same time, we can also hand over the civilians on the ship to ZAFT, and let them send these civilians back to Orb, or just settle in PLANT, which is much better than running around dangerously with us, maybe even It can pull a ZAFT warship away.

"We not only preserved our own combat power, bought ourselves a breathing space, but also returned Lux ​​to the opponent and reduced the opponent's combat power. The best of both worlds, what do you think?"

"But why do you want their captain to follow?" Maru asked puzzled, "What if he doesn't come?"

"As long as that man named Cruze dares to follow the shuttle to the Archangel, then we will be absolutely safe during the return flight time of the shuttle, and we can leave far away while taking advantage of this time. As for your saying that he will not come , I don’t think it’s very likely, Lax’s status is special in Thailand, he dare not not come.”

With a wry smile on her face, Maru looked at Xiao Ran and said in a low voice: "Although we haven't talked seriously a few times, I can't beat you every time, and I'm always easily persuaded by you to make me speechless .”

"Don't forget my profession." Xiao Ran spread his arms, looked at Maliu and laughed together.

After leaving the captain's room with Maru, the two went to different places separately, one went to the bridge, and the other went to the Ganaku.

As soon as he arrived at Ganaku, Sergeant Maddok slapped Xiao Ran heavily: "Boy, I really didn't expect to take down two mobile suits in the first battle. You did a good job."

Xiao Ran smiled: "Where, I just relied on the speed of the machine to shoot it down by surprise, and this is also everyone's credit."

"Haha." Sergeant Maddock smiled proudly: "There is nothing to say about our technology, but you boy, I read the records of the airframe just now, and I really didn't expect you to be able to withstand such a weak Fortunately, Zaft's body is still strong, otherwise you would have to disconnect the body directly if you made such a maneuver."

Xiao Ran naturally knew what the maneuver Sergeant Maddock was talking about, and being able to escape from the encirclement of three Zeons was considered a super long performance, and it also allowed him to find some ways to use his mental power, but the consumption was really high some.

Sergeant Madoc turned his head to look at Jean who was being repaired. The joints of the entire lower body had problems due to Xiao Ran's operation, and some places even showed signs of fracture, all because of Xiao Ran's sudden turn.

Shaking his head, Sergeant Maddock said: "I saw your battle, it is correct not to rush into the battlefield to entangle you, but maybe the machine body restricts your performance, if you change to a Gundam, you are fully capable of entering the battlefield Afterwards, the frontal battle is not just countless interspersed and roundabouts, I will try to find a way to see if I can strengthen the skeleton of the body."

"If it's a Gundam, it's not the body restricting me, but I restricting the body." Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "A Gundam with 80% performance, what's the difference between it and Gene except for resistance?" .”

Hearing that Sergeant Maddock said that he was going to strengthen Gene's frame, Xiao Ran quickly shook his head and refused: "Sergeant Maddock, don't, I think this is fine, at most you can take some stabilizing measures for the lower limbs of the body, don't Strengthening the skeleton."

Maddock couldn't help being taken aback when he heard what Xiao Ran said, everyone hoped that his body would be as strong as possible, but Xiao Ran was lucky, he would rather risk the skeleton breaking than strengthen the skeleton, this made him confused.

Xiao Ran yelled in his heart: "Are you kidding? Now that Gene is already D+ level, if you break through to C level, how can I still drive! 80% of the performance of Gene, it's not courting death on the battlefield !"

But looking at Sergeant Maddock's stunned and puzzled face, Xiao Ran had no choice but to force a smile and explain: "It will take a lot of time to transform the machine body, what if there is another situation that was not completed when we went to battle today. And To be honest, my driving skills are nothing compared to Kira and Mu, and I don't have the ability to fight head-on at all, I think this is pretty good, really."

Maddock looked at Li Ran with a serious face that didn't look like he was joking, and thought about the situation where he had already started fighting but was too late to fight. Although he wondered why Xiao Ran didn't want to make the body stronger, he still ordered it. Nodded: "Then follow what you said, don't move it, and after repairing it, strengthen the four joints of both legs."

"Then I'll trouble you." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Maddock, "I'll go back first, the battle just now made me very tired."

"Go, go, I'll take a good look here." Sergeant Maddock patted Xiao Ran, then pushed Xiao Ran in the direction of leaving, making Xiao Ran float out of the garage.

When Xiao Ran returns to his room, he will turn on the simulated gravity. He can turn on the simulated gravity in the room when he is not in battle. Xiao Ran is not used to turning on the gravity when he is floating in mid-air, and the feeling of being top-heavy also makes him very uncomfortable. Keep your feet on the ground. Feeling better, he moved a bit and flung himself on the soft bed.

Lifting his hand, Xiao Ran looked at the watch in his hand: "Attribute."

Hit 7 (11) affects shooting ability and accuracy

Skill 6 (10) affects fighting ability and strength

Reflection 6 (10) affects reaction speed and sensitivity

Spirit 2 (10) affects skill cost and perception

Constitution 6 (10) affects physical fitness and endurance

(The values ​​in the brackets represent the normal values, and the values ​​outside the brackets represent the current body values)

Stamina 65 (100)

Skill:

D-level general-purpose mecha driving skills: Can operate D-level mechs normally, with a proficiency of 67/100. (upgradeable)

Proficiency in Space Warfare: LV1, D-level skill. Can be a little proficient in fighting in the universe, and gain a preliminary sense of space in the universe. Proficiency 45/100. (upgradeable)

Seeing that he only has 2 points of spirit, Xiao Ran also understands why his top-heavy feeling comes from, and the level of spirit also affects the hit value, skill value and reflection value. No wonder the accuracy of shooting becomes lower as the battle progresses. There are also some inaccuracies.

Not counting the inexplicable consumption of energy that makes Xiao Ran's operation sensitive and fast, the actual consumption of energy is actually not very large, after all, Xiao Ran plays the role of soy sauce most of the time. The physical exhaustion is not too serious, it is only 35 points less. During the battle, the speed drops at a rate of one point per minute, and the whole battle is driven at high speed. Such a speed of decline is understandable.

What is really surprising is the increase in driving skills and proficiency in space warfare. One has already passed half, and it is almost halfway. The increase in speed is only because he Xiao Ran participated in such a battle. If he fought several times...

Xiao Ran grinned: "Perhaps the proficiency of driving skills will reach 100, and then he will have the strength to drive this world's Gundam."
