The Star Knight

"You should come earlier." Opal used this sentence as the opening point for their lunch and told Mu Shu about the wrench.

The wrench used a knife and fork to deal with a large piece of multi-sliced ​​steak on his plate, listening absently.

After finishing his grilled fish, Opal wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Now let him come back, maybe it's too late."

"I don't think this is a good idea." The wrench said slowly.

Opal finished the story of Mu Shu passionately, and there was no ups and downs in the wrench, and suddenly felt sleepy.

Opal: "You can be a mercenary without being familiar with combat skills, can you? So Mushu can play his due role."

"Yes." The wrench said: "But the reason why the ideal becomes the ideal is because it will not be changed by anything. The trouble that can be solved with money is not trouble, and the ideal that will be wiped out by reality is not an ideal."

Opal suddenly understood what was happening. The wrench held a fork and said, "I also suspected myself because I was not good at fighting at all, the combat response was slow, the reflex arc was half a beat slow, the worst time, Standing alone in front of the union’s door and raining, even at that time, I didn’t have the idea of ​​giving up and going home.”

Opal said: "So what do you think?"

"This damn ghost weather." Wrench shrugged: "Later came, she was the daughter of the old head, she gave me an umbrella."

Opal took a long breath and took a wrench to drink a glass of iris wine and said, "Your friend is just forced to make a living, so even if you tell him, it won't do much."

Opal nodded, snapped his fingers, and said to the robot: "Two more cups of coffee. Wrench, have you heard that there are some mechas from the ancient times in this universe?"

When it comes to the mecha, the wrench looks a little more radiant in the eyes, and is no longer the half-dead ghost. He seems to be thinking carefully and carefully words, and finally said: "I heard. How do you know this of?"

Opal added three tablespoons of milk and two tablespoons of sugar to his coffee. He likes to drink this very much. Compared with B-11, the mercenary country is simply a new paradise. Unlike the Crimson Planet, with a sense of technology city that rejects the country gangster from the door, everything in Lixing will not be laughed at and asked any questions. This is a very inclusive place.

"Teacher told me." Opal aftertastes the wonderful taste of fresh milk: "He said that there is a mecha called dragon rays, which can be broken down into many metal pieces and assembled by itself."

Opal mysteriously described a dragon ray mech to the wrench.

The wrench listened blankly, and finally said: "I don't think there is such a thing."

Opal lost.

"Yes." Opal said: "They are the mounts of the Star Knight."

Wrench: "No."

Opal: "Yes!"

The wrench said regretfully: "No, this violates the material rule, how can a piece of jewelry become a mecha?"

Opal: "Maybe the rest of the components are usually hidden in a five-dimensional space, uh, or somewhere else..."

Wrench said: "You can think of it as a fairy tale. Just like a previous historian said that the core of the universe is a DNA rotating hourglass."

Opal said sadly: "Forget it."

The wrench said: "But, I have heard a little bit about where the prehistoric mechs came from."

Opal's eyebrows moved, saying, "What?"

Wrench Youzai said: "There are many civilizations in this universe, and they have nothing to do with us humans. As you know, humans come from the Milky Way, a star system called the solar system in the spiral arm of Orion. "

Opal said: "I know this."

The wrench said: "The original origin of mankind was a water-blue planet called the earth. The day the fifth-dimensional space transition technology was put into practice, the ancestors began to explore the entire universe, and this day was designated as the era of light. At the beginning of the year, all interstellar units of measurement are now based on the ancestors’ earth. The asteroid cycle around the earth is called the cosmic month, and the Earth’s revolution period is called the cosmic year...

Opal nodded his head and said again: "In addition to humans, there are more unknown areas in the universe, including some civilization ruins formed in the tens of billions of years after the Big Bang. Among these ruins, maybe you say Taikoo Mecha. The king's "God of War" mechatronic technology, after being modified in this galaxy, is equipped with an ancient ruin from deep space."

Opal said: "His mech is Swire Mecha?"

The wrench made an indifferent movement: "It's just a small part, it's a thing brought by a merchant of fantasy stars. Everyone doesn't like to do business with fantasy stars...especially our direct mercenary brothers. Fantasy stars. Good at hypnosis and subconscious influence, selling you a piece of junk while hypnotizing you, telling you that they are very expensive things, remember to run quickly if you encounter them, otherwise you will be completely looted. But the king is very powerful, he never After being hypnotized, he bought it from the Phantom Star Merchant, and now this weapon is installed on his mech."

Opal nodded thoughtfully.

"Maybe one day in the future." Wrench said: "You will receive a similar task, remember to bring something back for me to research, I am willing to pay, or provide you with some private inventions as a reward..."

Opal: "Forget it..."

Wrench: "Thank you for your lunch and wish you a long life."

The following lessons are lengthy and tedious. Opal listens to the wrench with a hypnotic voice every day, trying to keep his focus on other aspects.Excluding the factor of mobilizing the enthusiasm of the students, the wrench is a pretty good teacher, and his courses are very practical.

Even some of the things Rector taught him were thoroughly explained without a wrench.The wrench taught them how to force landing on the planet to minimize the wear on the spaceship and how to deal with interstellar pirates in space.

Pirates usually don't come to snatch mercenaries. One is that there is no oil and water to catch.But if you encounter the escort client or goods, it will be counted separately.The wrench talked about many cases of using the spacecraft to escape from death, although Opal felt that he would not be able to use it for a long time.

"Don't leave all the work to the control system." The wrench said blankly: "Manual control of the spacecraft is very important. Remember the last magnetic storm? The Star Airlines train was late, and finally thousands of drivers manually controlled Shuttle, bypass the lightning and send all mercenaries back to their destination."

"Brain brain route calculation is a lazy thing." Wrench said: "The most complex program in the universe, its autonomous learning ability is not as good as an earthworm. The computer does not have the dying potential of humans, let alone nervous. Prepare to judge in the situation and escape to life. You should be very interested in the next practice, I wish you all a good time."

The students finally waited for the practical driving course. The final cycle is the integration of all courses. They need to sit in the holographic cockpit and manipulate the spacecraft for simulation training.Most small spaceships are simple and easy to use, and are equipped with navigation and automatic driving systems. This course will take at least ten years to learn in the Space Military Academy. However, for the junior mercenaries, it takes 21 universe days to learn the skills of entry. Will suffice.

After all, the larger mercenary regiment is equipped with specialized technicians, and the recruits only need to be familiar with the general operations.For most people who are too poor to be mercenaries, there is no spaceship for him to fly.

Opal has his own spaceship, he learned very seriously.

After the end of the last cycle, the history course, combat training, mental test, and aerospace control were evaluated as a whole, and everyone got a score.

So this is over.

Opal received his transcript and suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Immediately followed by deep anger.

"Why is it a C!" Opal shouted: "I have learned so hard, there must be something wrong!"

The clerk said regretfully: "This is the score given by the Gray Wolf instructor, I wish you a long life, the next..."

Opal said: "No! Is there anything inside, I..."

"Don't squeeze there!" The recruits shouted: "Quick!"

Opal’s biggest deduction point was at the most, that is, when he cooperated with Mushu, he was dragged on the hind leg. He couldn’t think he got a passing score. He suffered a great deal of shame, so he must find ash. The wolf asked for an argument.

"Hi, recruit." Gray wolf said: "Are you angry?"

Opal: "Instructor, this should not be the case..."

Gray Wolf said: "You will understand later, the higher the initial score, the more unfavorable to your growth, that's it."

Opal: "You!"

The Gray Wolf smiled and left, and Opal caught up, but the Gray Wolf got in the car and ran away with a loud noise.

The sun was shining and it was a new week. Opal was standing under the sun on the top of the building. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He wanted to tear the transcript, but the paper was not torn and burned. Can't help but have no choice but to admit fate.

The next thing is to report back to Sun City and become an official mercenary.

Opal remained silent for a moment, and there was an unreal feeling in his heart, a little nervous and scared, and a little unbelievable.This is the end of the training. Sixty days, just like a reborn, I really learned a lot.This training course is not overwhelming, and the real road starts only now.

Opal got in the car and took his transcript back to Sunshine City. He can now check in and register, and join the mercenary group in any branch of the martial star, or go it alone and take some small tasks within his ability.

"But I suggest you start by looking for someone and follow along." The clerk said: "This is your mercenary manual. Hold it. With this, you can record all your tasks. Your current level is quasi-F. Rate through the first mission."

Opal: "What are you talking about?!"

There was a lot of noise in the back, and a leader squeezed in and shouted: "I'm going to you! Mix the ball! You promised me to find an employer!"

The clerks were scolded by the people behind and lost their patience, shouting: "The first mission is very important! After completing it, you will be given a rating. If the completion is high, you will be directly upgraded to F-level! Factory rebuilding—! The conditions of step by step, how many points, how many tasks are required! It is very clear on the last page! Go back and see for yourself!"

The leader pushed Opal rudely to the side and shouted, "My employer!"

"It has nothing to do with me!" the clerk shouted at him: "The employer's spaceship has not come yet, what can we do!"

"My time is very limited..."

"You tell me this is useless, no—yes—use!”

It was enough. Opal was clamored for mental breakdown as soon as he returned to Sunshine City. Nothing was more painful than this.

"I'm looking for a mercenary regiment!" Opal shouted towards the clerk.

"Find someone to team up!" said the staff: "Don't squeeze here! You are handsome! Someone will want you!"

Opal reluctantly crowded out, the second floor of the personnel hall is full of quarreling people, Opal pulled a humane: "Are you recruiting new members?"

"I tell you, I must fire the squid of the class today...what? What do you say? We don’t recruit recruits Thank you...you cheer..."

Opal asked the team in front of the recruitment office one by one: "What about you? Whose squid do you want to fire? Let me replace him!"

"I'm just here to fight for the medical assistance of our team members!" The captain exclaimed: "Yes, no! At least it must be at least D-level! I wish you a long life!"

Opal: "..."

"How about you?" Opal almost deflated.

"No, recruits, you can't do it now, it won't be you." A group leader said: "We are not nanny groups, come on."

Opal said: "You all look down on me!"

The regiment reached out and grabbed the collar of Opal and shouted: "I'm already very polite! Don't be too intrusive! Be careful I beat you!"

"Don't fight here!" the staff shouted.

Opal thought about it, go to the lobby on the first floor.

The first floor was even more lively, with bargaining mercenaries everywhere and noisy mercenaries around his neck. Opal went to the single mission release point to inquire and said, "I want to take the single mission!"

Clerk: "The single task has been sent! The information bar will be refreshed after six hours! Go to the restaurant opposite for a drink..."

Then the mercenary shouted: "The restaurant opposite is opened at your home! Today is Monday, how could there be no task! If I go on like this, I will find a complaint..."

Someone squeezed up again and shouted at the clerk: "Give me a spaceship!"

Clerk: "You can't rent a spaceship! There is no qualification to rent a spaceship below class D! Going to a long-distance boat, the ticket is only three hundred yuan, saving costs..."

The mercenary pushed Opal away and yelled at the window: "The mission is very clear!"

The clerk said: "That was the wrong task we sent! You can only go by sea!"

Mercenary: "This is your responsibility! The voyage ship does not reach that ghost place. Now, immediately, rent me a spaceship..."

Opal met the mercenary, and they both froze.

The other party is Raymond.

Opal said: "I have a spaceship."

Raymond said: "Rent three thousand."

Opal said: "Without money, come with me and let me see your task."

The two were squeezed aside, and Raymond put away his mercenary diary and said, "Listen, I just need to rent a spaceship."

Opal said: "I can lend you to let me join you."

Raymond exhaled, waved his hand and said nothing, impossible, and squeezed the window to quarrel with the clerk.

Opal was completely discouraged, standing next to him for a while, went out and bought two cans of coffee, the clerk screamed behind the window: "Don't fight here! I'm going to call the police! Take this tall man away with me !"

Raymond almost exploded and shouted: "If you don't lease it to my spaceship, you can at least sell me this task!"

The clerk said: "You must wait until the end of the mission cycle! Must! This is the system! If you are not satisfied, you can go to Azeroth, it is his decision -"

Raymond took a deep breath and looked like he was almost trying to cut people. Opal pulled him and said, "Come, friend."

Opal gave him a cup of coffee, and Raymond opened it without looking, and said, "Are you a recruit?"

Opal said: "What level are you? I can rent a spaceship for you, without paying me, and treat me as an assistance...Yes! To assist members, I see this requirement."

Raymond said impatiently: "It's not about money!"

Opal said: "I promise not to interfere with any of your actions."

Raymond pinched his short hair and stood anxiously for a while, and finally said: "Let me see your mercenary diary."

Opal handed him and said, "Let me see you too. Man."

Raymond threw the diary to him, and the two exchanged for a look. Opal’s diary was just a whiteboard, but there was a record of the mercenary school exam. Opal carefully said: "I think my rating is too low, this is not fair……"

Raymond was almost desperate. He pulled his diary back. Opal hurriedly saw that the mercenary level registered with Raymond was E. He couldn't help himself much.

"Bring me." Opal said: "I definitely don't talk much, you won't be disappointed."

Opal almost tried to control him, but Raymond seemed to change his mind and said, "Okay. You swear."

Opal said: "I swear."

Raymond took the opal diary to register, formed a temporary team, and squeezed out of the crowd, Opal said: "Now go to the apron?"

Raymond didn't speak anymore, left the bag behind, put on the gloves and got on the car.

After Opal became a registered mercenary, his identity card was unimpeded in Lixing, and he could get on a car parked at the gate of the union and reach any place.It seems that the future is still long.

On the tarmac, Raymond looked at the Opal ship and said, "Is this yours?"

Opal said: "My mother left it to me."

Raymond didn’t comment. Opal opened the spacecraft’s rear hatch, and the lights inside turned on. Raymond said: “The mission location is a very remote asteroid, the Claude Galaxy, and the Guardian VII. If your star map doesn’t, We can only dismantle partners."

Opal Road: "There must be, you can rest assured, E7, go to the console."

The hatch is closed, Opal opens the star map, and thousands of stars rotate, Opal said: "Crow galaxy, Kwei VII."

Time-VI takes away all irrelevant galaxies, and a light blue star appears in the field of view.

Raymond frowned: "What type of star chart is this?"

Opal Road: "Uh, no model."

Raymond had embraced his arms and leaned against the wall. At this moment, he walked toward the center, and his eyes reflected the brilliant light in the star map. Opal ordered the VII. It was a purple asteroid. It established a route against the mercenary diary. Figure.

A dashed line departs from the star and flies to the starry gate, and then projects from the starry gate to the Crow system.

Calculated range, 174 cosmic hours.

The spacecraft turned on anti-gravity suspension and slowly ascended, leaving the ground apron, a flame erupted from the tail, left the atmosphere, and flew into the vast universe.

This departure is already different from the last entry, and it is easy to release after a simple check.

"Check your diary of your mercenaries." The man's voice said: "Aha, it's you again, got a job? The weather is fine today, and I wish you a long life."
