Chapter 1 Official Fiancee
He Kui, a member of the ordinary social animal in the rule of law society in the 21st century, never thought that he would become a member of the time-traveling army one day.
However, he traveled through Gundam SEED, where various classes were solidified and people's talents became commodities that could be bought and sold.
This led to the fact that in addition to mutations, the richer the people, the stronger their talents. The first-generation adjusters of the rich and the second-generation adjusters of the rich were even stronger. People like He Kui were the most ordinary. As a first-generation adjuster, his parents, as natural persons, worked as farmers on Julius VII, and he joined the army because of the fierce competition for positions in the five major design bureaus and wanted to find a way out.
Even He Kui, whose reason for joining the army was so simple, of course his ability was also very simple. There was no doubt that he would be beaten by Kira as soon as he went out. Of course, the premise was that he could survive the next series of battles. After all, miscellaneous soldiers were the biggest consumables in Gundam.
He Kui came out of the simulation cabin and sighed deeply at the middle-to-low grades in his class.
Of course, no one cared about this. He Kui, who was below average in everything, had no reason to be bullied. In short, he was a transparent person.
"Not bad, you have improved compared to the mock exam. Report to the ZAFT military headquarters in a week."
"Yes! Thank you."
Listening to the instructor's words of encouragement, He Kui saluted, but smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although the instructor said so, he was just a cannon fodder.
Progress, perhaps it was the effect of the fusion of the two souls and his day and night practice in the past two years. His ability was a little stronger than when he first entered the school two years ago. It was really only a little. From the beginning of the test, he gradually advanced a few places from the tail of the class. This was the result of squeezing out the talent in his genes.
In two years, he went from a soldier to a cannon vehicle, not even a super soldier. Without talent and system, he deeply realized the sadness of the bottom soldier. Don't look at the animation. Kira can fight back and forth with the elite team when he drives the Gundam for the first time. If the characters here are replaced by ordinary soldiers, they will die without any surprise.
As a soldier, he was lucky to meet Kira. If he was unlucky and met a hero unit like Mu who specialized in stabbing cockpits, he would probably not even have a complete body.
After putting away the transcript, He Kui returned to the dormitory alone without staying any longer.
The dormitory was a dormitory for two people, with a bed on top and a desk below. The ordinary room covered with steel was full of cold air.
Looking at the photo of a family of three on the table, He Kui sighed decadently. The four seasons in the colony were like spring, but according to the CE calendar, this year was January of the 70th year, and there was only a month left before the Bloody Valentine's Day. This morning he had sent a message to his parents asking them to leave there and take a temporary rest on the Julius VI next door. He also sent a sum of money enough for the two of them to use for three months. Calculating the time, the most common communication should be received soon. Although I don't know if it will be this year, I can only be prepared.
In this way, at least they can be saved, but what about next?
It's time to give up. After two years of traveling through time, he asked himself that he had tried his best, but his poor talent was still despairing. His parents were natural persons and he was a generation of adjusters born from the bankruptcy of his parents. Although he was bankrupt, his strength after adjustment was not that strong. Without talent and connections, everything was in vain.
However, he couldn't retire from the army even if he said he wanted to give up. ZAFT, as a militia organization, didn't have such strict regulations. It was just that if he retired from the army, his family would not have his support and his parents would not have a job, so he would probably have to sleep on the street.
It was sleeping on the street in the physical sense. A small colony satellite had to accommodate 500,000 people. The living pressure was imaginable. The housing prices were ridiculously high. Living in a high-tech pigeon cage was the life of a normal person. Not everyone had the last name Klein. The life without any hope was suffocating. He even thought that his parents would get subsidies if they died in the war. He didn't travel through time in an ordinary way but merged with his original body. He had more feelings for his parents in his heart.
He Kui was thinking about things but didn't stop working. It was a half-finished Haro, of course not for the princess, and the workmanship was not as exquisite as Aslan's. The materials were defective products bought at a low price from the branch of the Waste Merchants Association. He just wanted to use the star effect to imitate the Haro that the pink princess liked and sell it for money. Anyway, Aslan's son was rich and didn't apply for a patent, and no one dared to rob the son's patent, which just gave people a business opportunity to exploit the loophole. The cost of the parts of this Haro was 50, and it was sold for 150. The profit seemed very high, but considering that he could only make one a day, it was actually just that.
"How did the graduation exam go?"
A familiar voice interrupted the processing of the Haro micro-intelligent processor in He Kui's hand.
Ed Ryan, his roommate, had golden hair and a decent military school uniform. His honest face looked bright and energetic. He was a second-generation adjuster and his family was a little better than him.
"Normally."
"I've told you not to think too much. Anyway, people are like this. Generally speaking, it's no problem for us to drive Jinn against two or three Vanguard fighters or Mobius."
"Well, this is the money I owe you."
He Kui nodded and took something on the table that looked like a QR code and put it in front of Ed.
He had already spent all his subsidy by sending money to his parents, and he had been asking Ed for help these days. Of course, Ed was very kind and lent him money.
"You paid it back so soon?"
He scanned the code in front of him with the pure white bracelet on his wrist, and looked at the 1,000 technology coins he received and asked curiously.
"Several Haro jumped onto the stage during the princess' concert before."
"Congratulations~ No wonder you are making it again now. Have the ones you made a few days ago been sold out?"
"Sold out."
He Kui is not the only one selling Haro on the market, but because he has D-level operating technology, the Haro he makes is more sophisticated, can say some simple words and jump, and is still quite popular among the counterfeiters. After all, if someone really has the technology to completely counterfeit, they would not choose to make Haro, and would have joined the five major design bureaus long ago.
"Hey~ By the way, Shihe Hanifs was looking for you in the examination room just now."
"Why did she look for me?"
Shihe Hanifs is still in the top 20 of the driving department in the military academy. She will definitely be a red-shirt in the future. What can such an elite do to me?
"I don't know~ But she is a red-shirt in the future, so bring some gifts to her. Maybe she can take care of us in the future."
Without getting a satisfactory answer, He Kui looked at the Hello that had just been made in front of him, and suddenly felt that what Ed said seemed to make sense.
Not long after, after asking a few classmates passing by, He Kui walked along the winding green forest path in the back garden of the military academy and saw a quiet figure sitting in the Chinese pavilion in front.
Her skin was fair and tender, and the slim military academy uniform made her intellectual face more heroic, which was completely different from He Kui's slightly wrinkled clothes.
Of course, it's not that I haven't seen her before when we were in class together. At this time, He Kui didn't have much emotion except sighing.
"Ms. Hanifs? Are you looking for me?" He Kui softly broke the silence in the pavilion. "Yes, He Kui." Shihe looked at the boy in front of her, and she could never have imagined that this classmate was actually her fiancé matched by AI genes. It just seemed that the other party didn't know about this yet. "Have you checked the information on your phone?" "What information?" He Kui had already opened his phone. [Dear Mr. He Kui, according to the current "Gene Marriage Law Treaty" of PLANT, your fiancée screening has been preliminarily completed. Please contact Ms. Shihe Hanifs to complete the relevant confirmation procedures as soon as possible within fifteen days according to the follow-up instructions. If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact: 0000xxxxxx] "." Looking at the information on the phone, He Kui was completely stunned. So he has a fiancée? And it's Shihe Hanifs. "That's probably the situation." Looking at the fiancé in front of her, Shihe sighed softly. Although she didn't think she could escape the eyes of the genetic marriage law, her mood was still complicated when this kind of thing really came. So she will have offspring with this man? Although he is handsome and hardworking, his talent is average, and there are only a few adjusters who are not handsome. He was also assigned to the frontline combat department.
After learning this news, many people sympathized with her. As long as her fiancé died on the front line, she would become a widow. Of course, if she is lucky, she can remarry through the "Gene Marriage Law", but her identity will become embarrassing, and she doesn't want children for the time being.
"I still want to continue research."
Shihe said. Although her driving ability is also ranked in the top 20, her goal has always been research. There is no need to think about which is more important between personal ability and weapons that affect the entire war situation. So she just waits for graduation to participate in the research and development of miniaturized beam weapons led by the Hailan Design Bureau. With that weapon, they can seize the initiative in the future expansion of the war.
"I understand."
He Kui instantly understood what Shihe meant, but didn't this fiancée overestimate him too much? He couldn't afford it even if he wanted to.
As for letting Shihe raise the child alone, that is impossible. For the issue of couple raising, the Genetic Marriage Law has already had a series of measures, including sharing the cost of raising the child.
In other words, no matter how poor he is, he still has to pay half of the child's cost, and the two of them also file their own taxes. It can be said that although they are married, they just have a child together, and they live their own lives the rest of the time.
Hearing He Kui's reasonableness, Shihe also breathed a sigh of relief
"He Kui, I saw your final exam results. Micro-component assembly should have reached D level, right?"
It's probably a little better than the inferior E level, but that's all.
"Yes."
"Then do you want to work at the Hailan Design Bureau?"
Hailan Design Bureau, one of the five major design bureaus of ZAFT, is mainly responsible for research and development by Xi Gu and Jin En.
"Of course I want to, okay?"
It sounds like the girl wants to help him get a backdoor. If it was when he just crossed over, He Kui might have refused, but the situation is different now.
They are all ZAFT's industries. As long as he can pass the assessment, he can leave the dangerous soldier and become an ordinary micro-operator, responsible for the polishing and manufacturing of fine equipment, which is high-tech screw driving, which AI cannot accomplish. His previous level of D-level, although barely met the internship standard for a micro-operator, was a far cry from being hired. Without a backdoor, it was impossible for him to be admitted through normal channels.
"Although the chance is still small, it is not impossible. You will take the exam in three days. Remember to practice more."
With D-level ability, even with her little connection, it may be a bit of a stretch, but you can only give it a try.
"Thank you, this is a gift, please don't dislike it."
He Kui took out a pink Haro with the phone turned off from his bag. At this time, He Kui was extremely glad that he listened to Ed and brought a Haro out, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. However, this can be regarded as a "token of love", and this is what he gave.
But if it goes well this time, he may be able to escape the fate of sending himself to death. Although he relied on his fiancée, thinking that even if he had decided to accept his fate, He Kui's eyes still darkened.
"Is this Haro?"
Shihe looked at the pink ball in his hand in surprise, but the body was a little bumpy and the coloring was a little uneven.
"Well, I made it myself."
"Thank you~"
Shihe smiled for the first time since they met.
[You gave Shihe. Hanifs a gift, micro-component processing experience +6]
[Shihe. Hanifs favorability 45]
[Experience bonus 0]
[Micro-component processing D-level: (506/500) can be promoted]
He Kui, who was just about to say a few polite words, was a little confused when he saw the words in front of him. He rubbed his eyes for a long time before looking at Shihe in disbelief.
"Ms. Hanifs, did you see anything?"
"What did you see?"
Shihe looked around strangely.
"No"
Looking at the panel in front of him that didn't look like an illusion, He Kui couldn't help but get excited. He! After two years! Finally found his own golden finger! ?
