The vast underground testing ground was quickly cleared, leaving a site with a radius of two hundred meters. Then Vega, who served as the temporary security captain of the institute, led his soldiers to arrange the place into a simple recruit within a few minutes.
The training ground, for this standard Xiling soldier, setting up a shooting range is obviously a very fun thing. Sister Scorpion, who was very interested, even suggested that I knock down this boring research institute and simply change it into a barracks——
From this point of view, we can see the difference between soldiers and generals. Pandora's suggestion is for me to tear down Academy City and change it to a base. But from a headache point of view, the rigid Scorpion and the war-crazed Rose
Li doesn't seem to be much different either.
"I...have really mastered the ability?"
Saten Ruiko stayed in the lounge for a while. When she came out, she saw that the original test site had changed beyond recognition. However, such changes were fooled by my continued use of "new technologies". Now she is most concerned about
Or have you really mastered superpowers, because judging from our reactions, it seems that you have made great progress in your ability development experiments.
"Of course," I said with a mysterious smile on my face, but I was also a little strange in my heart. Although I didn't think that Bubble would make a misjudgment on such a simple issue, the soul structure of a human being was actually different from that of a Xiling.
People are exactly the same, this is too fantasy, "Leizi, do you really feel nothing at all?"
The black-haired girl shook her head, with a confused expression: "No, according to the ability development course, once you awaken your superpower, you should be able to discover it on your own very quickly, but I really don't feel it at all."
"It's okay. Anyway, we have prepared the relevant information. You can just follow it when the time comes."
I said, and then patted Ruizi on the head - it seems that if you raise too many lolita, you will always develop some strange habits...
"Yes, director..."
Saten Ruiko was stunned for a moment by me, and then said with a slightly red face.
"The first is the test of the 'Target Command'," Vega ordered his men to place a huge steel plate about twenty meters away, and then said to Saten Ruiko, "That piece of metal is your target, focus on it."
Concentrate on it and treat it as something to be destroyed, that is, become hostile to it.”
Saten Ruiko agreed blankly, but her eyes were full of confusion. It was obvious that she couldn't understand why the beautiful sister in front of her, who was originally the guard captain of the institute, suddenly participated in this experiment, but she thought
I feel relieved about the unreliability of our research institute.
No matter what, there has never been an experiment that I can understand.
Shaking off the surprise in her heart, the black-haired girl followed Vega's instructions and stared closely at the target not far away, and then began to work hard to accumulate hatred towards the steel plate. This was not easy to do, because generally
Under such circumstances, unless you are hit on the head by it, it is difficult for you to have much hatred for a piece of metal...
However, Saten Ruiko, who has gone through various ability development experiments, is obviously very good at doing this kind of thing that requires a little self-hypnosis. I don’t know what she thinks. Anyway, in our instrument recording, the steel plate itself immediately produced
There is a large amount of information that cannot be parsed, which shows that it has "attentioned" to Saten Ruiko.
"Actually, you don't have to stare...forget it, the effect has been achieved anyway."
Vega shook his head and said this, then picked up a small piece of metal next to him and threw it towards the steel plate.
"Boom!!!"
There was a loud noise, and the steel plate, which was dozens of centimeters thick, was hit by the gently thrown metal block, and instantly exploded into a large cloud of metal dust.
"Ah!" Saten Ruiko was busy concentrating, but was startled by the huge movement. She couldn't help but exclaimed, and then stared at Vega next to her with the eyes of a monster. I read from it
Such information: Even though this sister is a security captain, she is too strong, right?
"Don't look at me," Vega said lightly, "That's because of your power."
"Me?" Saten Ruiko pointed at her nose in surprise, begging for an explanation.
Since he was not his superior, Weijia had no intention of answering Saten Ruiko's questions, but Lin Xue took the printed information next to him and read it out: "Locked by the target command, the group's defense ability is halved.
The defense capability of a single body is cleared. If it is a metal object with a single structure, as long as it is locked by you, its structural strength will become zero, and it will only be able to ensure that it does not collapse without external force, but
Things that are bound to be damaged by any attack, this skill is what we call: long-range triple armor..."
Is that what you call me? None of us would openly name a superpower with such a nonsense name!!
Is this the ability of Storm Commander? As it is recorded in the data, it is like a bug in group battles. Just like the skill now called Target Command, the most advanced Storm Commander can even use it once
Gaze causes the armor of the entire battleship to crumble, but its most powerful feature is not that it can reduce the armor of a single target to zero, but that... it can halve the enemy's group defense capability without an upper limit.
In war, wouldn't such a fatal debuff be the same as Goldfinger?
However, Saten Ruiko should not have that ability yet. Group armor breaking is only theoretically feasible, but even a true Xiling apostle has an upper limit on the targets that can be targeted at the same time. As for Saten, who is an earthling,
Leizi, it’s not easy to turn a steel plate into tofu.
"Then there's the second test, command focus."
Weijia continued to serve as the announcer and asked his subordinates to move the second steel plate to the field. He said, Mr. Steel Plate, you have worked really hard today.
"Well, this may be a bit complicated," Vega said to Saten Ruiko, who was still a little confused. "First of all, you still have to regard this steel plate as a target, and then calibrate the opponent as a 'sight' and give it a
Is it possible to achieve the meaning of 'the bearer of all attacks from our side'?"
"I... try my best," Saten Ruiko nodded hesitantly, "But why do I think these are different from ordinary ability users using super powers? And what kind of ability should this be?"
"This thing is called a talent tree," Lin Xue held Saten Ruiko's shoulders with a solemn expression, "You will become a qualified Ultraman - even if you don't have a bunch of beaten little monsters behind you."
This girl's ability to run trains is no less than mine!
"There may be a lot of noise later, so you'd better be mentally prepared."
Seeing a group of Xiling soldiers in security uniforms striding over carrying heavy machine guns, I quickly reminded Leizi, who was trying to express his anger. The latter turned around and looked and was immediately shocked: "Can those be real guns?
?”
"Theoretically, yes," I borrowed Tavel's famous saying, "because the power of ability users sometimes requires special means to be tested, so some research institutes will be equipped with various military equipment, which you should know
Bar?"
"Uh... this is really the first time I know..."
Well, these are "conventional weapons" specially found for testing. You have to know that we still have two imperial fleets in the inventory. I don't know what their expressions will be.
After the Xiling soldiers carrying machine guns were ready, Saten Ruiko had been staring at his target for several seconds. He was probably trying to imagine it as his father-killing enemy. Anyway, in our
In terms of instrument records, it has become an information fountain. A large amount of unprocessable encrypted information continues to blow out in various ways, constantly modifying the "world" itself's definition of that piece of metal.
"preparation!"
After the information displayed on the instrument exploded and reached its peak, Vega raised his right hand high and then waved it down violently.
"shooting!"
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The heavy machine gun suddenly let out a rapid roar, and a violent storm of bullets was poured out in all directions... in the flames.
That's right, from all directions, there were more than a dozen Xiling soldiers, none of them aimed at the steel plate that was used as a target. They poured firepower around randomly, but the result was that the unlucky piece of steel was quickly covered with potholes.
of craters.
Not a guided weapon...
I first ruled out the possibility that those bullets did indeed fly out in a straight line, but they all suddenly disappeared not far from the muzzle, and then dived deeply into the steel plate marked with tears.
"Try punching the air."
Lin Xue said to me while looking at the data refreshed in the handheld computer.
I waved my hand at random for no apparent reason, and then suddenly felt my fist hit something solid in the air. With a loud "Dang——", the metal plate more than 20 meters away from us suddenly dented.
Go down a deep pit.
"Can you direct 70% of the attack power without the target resisting?" After the gunshots calmed down, Vega nodded, "It has reached the average level of a general storm commander."
"Does this...do you think it involves the revision of the world's laws?"
At this time, I had roughly guessed the properties of this ability, and asked with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Lin Xue was still studying the skill introduction with great interest, and answered without raising his head: "Who knows, Storm Commander is a very special Xiling unit, with abilities between science and mystery. Just like this command focus, it is
A surgical strike skill specially used to deal with enemy targets with high mobility. The target is determined to be the recipient of the attack. Then all attacks launched by one's own side will have a 100% chance of damaging it, but the attack power will be reduced to a certain extent, and can
There is an upper limit to the guided attack power. There is a usage record as an example, which is to let a top storm commander sneak into the enemy's rear and mark a city, and then the Xiling people set off fireworks in their base... What can I say?
Do you remember Dalaran, which was destroyed in a similar way? Arjun, do you have someone named Archimonde under your command?"
"Don't bullshit."
I patted Lin Xue on the head, but my heart was already confused.
Saten Ruiko's ability was discovered by us. No wonder we always thought she had no ability, but after working on it for a long time, she needed this special method to activate it, but...
How could a human master the skills of Storm Commander?
Storm Commander, that should be a branch tribe of the Xiling Apostles, is a very special group of members with extremely low combat effectiveness, but extremely strong command and team support capabilities. Some even jokingly call them "mobile fire control towers". They
Its own attack power is not even as good as that of an elite soldier, but on the battlefield, any skill of a storm commander can increase the combat effectiveness of our army several times. But as a human, Saten Ruiko is also a storm commander——
If you say she is actually a Namekian disguised as a human, I will believe it!! Saiyans are at least still in the category of carbon-based creatures, right?
At this time, the person involved, Saten Ruiko, finally reacted, and then pointed at the tip of her nose blankly: "I am... a person with dual abilities?"
"Well, it shouldn't count..." I said quickly. This time, Saten Ruiko awakened the talent that should be possessed by Xiling people. It was beyond our expectations. Originally, we just wanted to help each other, but now
The situation suddenly became a hundred times more complicated. I still need to think clearly about how to deal with this matter. Before that, I can’t let Saten Ruiko have too many doubts. “How should I put it? Your ability should be the same as changing the target substance.”
Regarding your attributes, we will continue to study this. By the way, I have a request regarding your ability."
"Huh?" Saten Ruiko showed a curious expression.
"Before our research comes to a conclusion, try not to completely expose your abilities, because... well, because this is the scientific research secret of our institute. It was stated in the original contract that you will show your ability to the outside world on the first day.
There is a way to use it. As for the ability explanation institute, we will help you prepare it, which can also save you a lot of trouble..."
I felt that my explanation was quite confusing and even full of contradictions, but the black-haired girl in front of me nodded happily and said with a smile: "Yes! I understand!"
"The ultimate aura of picking up girls, huh?"
Lin Xue teased from the side, and before I could react, she once again threw herself into experimenting with Saten Ruiko's abilities.
The entire experimental process lasted a full three hours.
The results are shocking. Except for a few skills that can only be achieved by the special body structure of the Xiling Apostle, Saten Ruiko's ability level is now that of a trained junior storm commander!
What's going on? Is it me, the world, or that dead uncle who is typing in front of the computer that is going crazy? Have you never considered the normality of the worldview at all!?
Well, the rant is over.
In order to obtain more information more quickly, we stayed connected to Bubbles throughout the entire experiment. Thanks to the Overtime Empire information link that never went offline, while the experiment was going on, everyone, including Bubbles,
More than a dozen Xiling hosts have been in high-speed information processing mode, and the calculation results were simultaneously conveyed to us. In view of the fact that Saten Ruiko has mastered the skills of Storm Commander, Bubble will calculate several of the best
The priority possibilities were sent in order, and the first possibility was that Saten Ruiko's mental power mutated in advance during the process of receiving the radiation from the Brood Crystal, and overflowed uncontrollably.
As a result, the security device of the dormant cabin failed to intercept the spread of its spiritual power in time. The spiritual power that escaped the shackles of the body was attracted by the soul of a nearby Xiling apostle and resonated, and then mutated into a "pseudo? Xiling soul"
", this possibility that sounds like a book is the one closest to the truth that Bubble has deduced, and the probability of it happening is astonishing...
0.000000001 percent...
Then I simply didn't look at the other things that girl sent over.
"Since you are allowed to have a brain that can control the Xiling mother planet, why can't Saten Ruiko have a soul that can use the abilities of the Xiling people?"
In the end, Lin Xue ended our wild speculations about the "Saten Ruiko phenomenon" with this sentence, and then this magic stick who said that he was aloof and calm and peaceful once again devoted himself to testing Ruiko's ability...
"Then, what are you going to do?"
Looking from a distance at Ruizi who was happily testing her "superpower" on the training field, onee-sama suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I wanted to help others, but someone came up to create an apostle. Saten Ruiko's power is really special."
I also have a headache, really.
Saten Ruiko can awaken any ability. Even if she turns into a 100,000-horsepower person who can take out a lightning battle ax from the pocket in front of her stomach, I won’t have a headache. But she just turned into a hope.
Spirit apostle? Pseudo, this will be a bit difficult to handle.
It is a power that definitely does not belong to this world. It even partially involves the rewriting of the rules of the world. The method of activation and energy fluctuation are completely different from existing magic and superpowers. Whether it is Aleister's Hanged Man or Laura's
Fox Girl, they will soon discover this special girl Saten Ruiko, and then...our original good intentions will be wantonly distorted.
But sealing this power...
With my ability, I can do this easily, but looking at the happy tears not far away, I can't bear to be so cruel!
"Let's take it one step at a time." In the end, I could only shake my head and sigh, "At the worst, we have to convince the two camps of science and magic. Anyway, with such a great contribution to saving the world, it shouldn't be too much for us to charge a handling fee."
"As expected, it is only Arjun who can make the decision," Sister smiled softly, "This kind of decision without any decision at all makes me happy, Sister."
Sister, your comment makes me feel very subtle!
"Ajun, Ajun~!" At this moment, Qian Qian's voice suddenly sounded from the side, "The guard at the door just now said that Uiharu Shiri and the others were coming over. Do you think our test can be paused for a while?"
Early spring ornaments?
I was stunned for a moment, then looked at my watch.
