Chapter 475 Knowing Nothing

——The record I broke before was the one left by Mori Mako?

This is information that Luo Gandao has no way of knowing. After all, he has only been in the training camp for a short time and has been labeled with a lot of negative labels by others. Although the situation has improved to a certain extent after talking with Yang Yun, it is obvious that this period of time is not enough for other students to fully accept him, and naturally they will not tell him about the things before the training camp... However, if Xie Luyin, who is very good at dealing with people, learned this information from other students, she could do it.

——But, what does she mean by revealing this information to me now? Is she trying to show me goodwill, or does she have other intentions?

In a flash, Luo Gandao has no idea how many thoughts have turned in his mind. The big heart trained in the underground car race and the ability to read people's expressions have helped him to cultivate a considerable scheming in this young man who is only 17 years old. Although he had many thoughts in his mind, he remained calm on the surface and said: "You mean, my direct competitor is Mori Mako? But there should be two pilots."

"The Lord God needs us to protect important plot characters, not just Mori Mako."

Xie Luyin shook her finger: "The previous pilot of 'Dangerous Wanderer', Rory Beckett, is on his way back to the Broken Dome. Marshal Pantecost left the base at this important moment just to welcome the former ace pilot back to PPDC... Otherwise, the monster attack is so big that the commander in charge will not be able to deal with it. Why is it the ‘Colonel Chu Xuan’ of the Zhongzhou team? ”

“So, one position has been decided. There is only one quota for our selection of students?”

Luo Gandao frowned. He understood the meaning behind this information: “Mori Mako is an excellent quasi-mecha hunter, and she has a very close relationship with Marshal Panticost, so I am destined to not win over her in the competition for the driver?”

The relationship between people is inextricably linked. Luo Gandao knows that his shooting level and close combat are his weaknesses. The only thing he is better than Mori Mako in is the simulation training of mecha. If it really comes to the final moment of choosing one of the two, then personal connections are likely to become a decisive factor... After all, there is a saying that goes, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first.

"No, you're wrong again."

However, to Luo Gandao's surprise, Xie Luyin actually shook her finger again, revealing a mysterious smile: "The veterans will not let Rory Beckett and Mori Mako, who are likely to be the male and female protagonists of the movie, board the Dangerous Wanderer and drive the mecha again to join the battlefield and fight the monsters."

"Why do you think so?" Xie Luyin's words were completely beyond Luo Gandao's expectations: "Two fresh troops joining the battlefield should be a great help to the completion of the Lord God's mission. Moreover, at this time when there is a lack of available soldiers, the increase from five mechas to six is ​​a great improvement in combat power..."

"Because of the risk, it is necessary to take great risks to let them join the ranks of mecha hunters."

Xie Luyin raised her wrist and read out the task requirements on the Lord God's watch word by word: "If one of Rory Beckett and Mori Mako dies at the end of the horror movie, the whole team will deduct 5,000 reward points. If both of them die, the whole team will be wiped out."

"Destroying the 'rift' only earns 3,000 bonus points, but the death of one of the two plot characters will result in the deduction of 5,000 bonus points. If both of them die in the battle, it will lead to the worst consequence of annihilation of all... Comparing the benefits of sending these two people to the front line and the risks of their possible death, which option is better, I don't need to say more, right?"

"As for the problem of lack of combat power, you also saw the debut of the 'Eureka Raider' today. The new system certainly contributed to it, and the quality of this fifth-generation mecha itself also played an important role. The 'Dangerous Wanderer' is a third-generation mecha from several years ago, and it is an old product that uses nuclear power as energy. It is even the recyclable garbage that Marshal Pantikost pulled back from the mecha graveyard. The data on paper is far behind the other five mechas... Now that PPDC has undergone a technological iteration, does it really need the power of this antique?"

--She was right.

This was the first thought that came to Luo Gandao's mind after listening to Xie Luyin's words. To be fair, if he were a senior member of the Zhongzhou team, he would make the same judgment after comparing the risks and benefits.

Even more, Luo Gandao thought a little deeper. If this was a strategic game, then the Zhongzhou team's goal was to destroy the "rift" while ensuring that Raleigh Beckett and Mori Mako would not die. Otherwise, even if the former goal was achieved, the overall strategy would be a failure.

Even in the battle with the monster, the senior members of the Zhongzhou team still needed to deliberately protect the safety of the two people, which might lead to other variables. For example, in order to rescue the two people in danger, they ignored the safety of other mecha hunters, resulting in the disarray of the formation, or missed the opportunity to give the monster a fatal blow... Apart from anything else, aren't there enough such plots in the movie?

"It seems that you understand why they can't set foot on the battlefield."

Seeing Luo Gandao's thoughtful expression, Xie Luyin nodded and said: "If you want to protect them, the best way is to prevent them from becoming mecha hunters... If it weren't for Mori Mako's special identity, he would be inseparable from Marshal Panticost. According to Colonel Chu Xuan's cold-faced style, he might deliberately create some kind of accident to keep them safe in the rear."

"...This is just your one-sided statement."

Luo Gandao first thought of Chu Xuan's expressionless face involuntarily, shuddered violently, and felt a little uneasy. But when he remembered that Yang Yun had not done anything to him that afternoon, but had healed his hidden injuries, the young man sorted out his thoughts and retorted: "Regardless of whether the seniors would use such extreme means, you yourself said that Marshal Pantecost has found Raleigh Beckett. If they want the two plot characters to stay safely in the rear, it means that they have to go against Marshal Pantecost..."

"Go against?"

Xie Luyin repeated Luo Gandao's words, her mouth slightly raised, revealing an expression similar to mockery.

"You know nothing about the plans of the seniors."
