Gundam UC Hunting Time

"Is there any left?"

He pressed Lin Xingyuan for answers, only to find that Lin Xingyuan in the cockpit was staring intently at the screen on his left, and judging from the direction, he was probably watching the landing Sky Disc transport plane.

"What?"

He found it strange and looked at the Sky Disc transport plane again. Soon he saw two people, one big and one small, get off the plane and drive towards him in a car.

"Huh? They're here?" He looked at the black Land Cruiser again: "Could it be someone I know?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the car stopped beside Lu Gao, who was kneeling on one knee. The car door opened, and a woman in a suit got out. She first looked around warily, then specifically looked at the window of the observation room before opening her black umbrella and respectfully helping the person in the back seat out.

"Who is it? Such a big shot."

The people in the observation room looked at each other, but because of the black umbrella, they couldn't see the person under it. Tachibana Kanna and Kashima Isamu exchanged a glance and immediately ran towards the elevator.

On the other side, from Lin Xingyuan's angle, he could clearly see the black-haired man's face. He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but start commenting in sync with the live chat.

Holy crap! No wonder he's the Speaker! He gets along so well wherever he goes.

[So now we have a loyal dog, huh? What's CE's name again?]

[But why is he dressed like that? Could he really be from Augusta?]

Anyway, we've finally reunited.

Wait a minute! Why isn't anyone concerned about who that little girl next to them is?!

[It reminds me of something from when I was a kid!]

For a moment, Lin Xingyuan genuinely thought it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal from Speaker Durandal. It wasn't until the speaker under the parachute looked up at him, smiled, raised his hand, and waved to Lin Xingyuan in the cockpit through the fuselage and screen with a very humble posture that he remembered he hadn't logged out yet. He got up, opened the hatch, and pulled himself down using the steel cable.

“Nice to meet you, Black Reaper, I am Gilbert Durandal.”

Completely unperturbed by Lin Xingyuan's slight, Durandal extended his hand and introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello." Lin Xingyuan glanced at his military rank—a major—and immediately saluted before shaking his outstretched hand. Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he greeted him with a playful tone, "Your Excellency the Speaker~~"

Durandal's narrow eyes narrowed for a moment, then returned to normal. He looked into Lin Xingyuan's eyes, his smile now carrying a hint of ambiguity.

Beside him, the blue-haired girl holding his hand was also staring straight at Lin Xingyuan, her gaze a little blank and her expression a little scared, but her presence was exceptionally strong—not only because of her unique hair color, but also because of the feeling she gave Lin Xingyuan.

Lin Xingyuan turned to look at her, his gaze scrutinizing her. He had already confirmed that this little girl was a new human, while the loli-loving viewers in the comments section had gone crazy.

However, the little girl is indeed very cute, especially her blank expression and timid temperament, which easily evoke a protective instinct in people.

"She is Dee Trier."

Seeing Lin Xingyuan looking at the girl, Durandal introduced her with a smile.

Is it NEW.TYPE?

Although it was said in a guessing tone, Lin Xingyuan was already 100% certain.

"Yes," Durandal said without hiding anything.

"Lin! Captain!"

At that moment, Tachibana Kanna and Kashima Isamu came out of the elevator in the observation room and ran over here. Durandal immediately put on his acting skills and put on a businesslike expression.

"We are from the Augusta Institute, a new human research institution established on the orders of General Rebil. The purpose of disturbing you today, Captain, is to conduct a test on you in this regard. Please rest assured, it will not be harmful."

"Going to Augusta?"

Upon hearing the name Augusta, Lin Xingyuan immediately thought of negative terms like "enhanced human," "human experimentation," and "child abuse," and instinctively felt some resistance—mainly because he lacked the ability to raze this damned den of demons to the ground.

"No, it can be done on a transport plane, it's very simple."

Durandal replied that this was clearly just an excuse; his real purpose was probably to meet with Lin Xingyuan. Tachibana Kanna and Kajima Isamu, who had walked over, hadn't heard him completely and could only look at Lin Xingyuan with questioning eyes.

"no problem."

Lin Xingyuan immediately agreed, nodded to Li Huashen Weina and the others, and then got into the car with Durandal.

……

We finally met up.

Chapter 104 Lin Xingyuan's Wish

The pilot and the communications officer were asked to disembark from the aircraft. Even the woman in the suit holding the umbrella was left standing below the boarding gate. Only Lin Xingyuan, Durandal, and the little girl named Dee Trier remained in the large cabin.

What's wrong with her?

Lin Xingyuan looked at the girl, then at Durandal, and asked with some concern—from the very beginning, many comments had speculated that this girl might also be from another Gundam timeline, and some even said that she was a humanoid creature made of Moonlight Butterflies, which really bothered him.

"Dee Triel, 13 years old, a war orphan, and an experimental subject of Augusta. Due to the extremely cruel experiments she underwent in the research institute, her language ability was severely damaged, and she can only communicate with people using short words, so there is no need to worry about her leaking secrets."

Durandal smiled and patted the little girl's head, and the little girl immediately showed a happy expression.

It seemed that Durandal had rescued her. Lin Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"So she's different from us? She's a native of this world?"

"Yes."

When Durandal gave an affirmative answer, Lin Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, he didn't have to worry about the troublesome one-eyed army appearing on Zeon's side.

"Please sit down, let's get straight to the point."

He gestured for Lin Xingyuan to find a seat, and then Durandal sat down, crossed his legs, and clasped his hands together. For the first time, he showed a serious expression and immediately asked three questions about life.

"Who am I? Why am I here, and where am I going?"

"Speaker?" Lin Xingyuan was surprised, his heart skipped a beat—it was not a good sign that the character he drew from the gacha would ask such a question!

"Speaker Durandal is dead." Durandal stared unblinkingly at Lin Xingyuan and said, "Or is this hell?"

"Hmm... if you have to put it that way, it's not that different." Lin Xingyuan shrugged. "After all, as soon as I arrived here, I saw the scene of billions of people dying. Even hell wouldn't be this exaggerated."

Thinking about the Augusta Institute, it really was no different from hell. Durandal smiled wryly and helplessly: "I knew it... So this is punishment?"

Seeing Di's frightened expression, Lin Xingyuan became serious.

“An angel like this can’t be born in hell. Let’s stop joking.”

He then selectively explained the card-drawing incident, and Durandal frowned, his expression corroborating his own memories.

"I did receive the invitation after my defeat. They said that if I responded to their choice, they would grant me one wish."

"Continue with the Destiny Plan?" Lin Xingyuan listened attentively: "Indeed, compared to the various anthropomorphic operations that followed in this world, your Destiny Plan is quite refreshing and unconventional."

"...You seem to know everything?"

Speaker Durandal looked at Lin Xingyuan with a suspicious gaze, clearly mistaking him for the GM himself. Lin Xingyuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't misunderstand, I've only seen the storyline about you, I'm not a GM, otherwise I wouldn't be so helpless."

"Plot..." This sentence was too much for him to handle. Durandal pondered for a moment, displaying the wisdom of a council chairman: "So, I am some kind of fictional character?"

For a moment, Lin Xingyuan felt as if the person in front of him had suddenly lost his spirit, leaving only an empty shell. Di, who was next to him, was immediately shocked and grabbed his hand urgently, calling out to him with difficulty.

"Dill! Dill!"

Holy crap! This worldview has collapsed!?

Lin Xingyuan panicked and hurriedly tried to make amends.

"Durandal! Gilbert Durandal! Don't you want your wish to come true!?"

These words worked. Durandal immediately regained her senses, struggled out of her self-doubt, breathed a sigh of relief, and, despite the dizziness and tinnitus, patted Di's hand to comfort her.

"I am fine."

Di still held his hand tightly, which made Lin Xingyuan a little jealous. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Lei is like that, Di is like that, and Zhen is like that too. This guy is really good at fooling children!"

Then Durandal looked at Lin Xingyuan and asked him.

"And you? Don't you have any doubts about your own existence?"

Sure enough, the smarter a person is, the more prone they are to getting stuck on trivial details, Lin Xingyuan found it amusing. However, he had actually considered this question before, after all, he had already transmigrated into the book and was even doing a live broadcast, so his answer was very fluent.

Have you read "Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream"? It says, "I think, therefore I am."

Durantal paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile wryly.

"You're quite open-minded."

"The most important thing in life is to be happy."

Lin Xingyuan smiled, and Durandal nodded noncommittally before asking another question.

"The first two questions are now settled, but what about the third one? Where do I go? What do you, or that GM, want me to do?"

"Let's have some fun."

Lin Xingyuan spoke in a relaxed tone, like a seagull preparing to go to the dock to buy some fries.

"what?"

Durandal didn't understand, but the comments section was already bursting with laughter.

[Hahaha, I've been wondering before, is this PL (Player of the Field) some kind of role-playing game? It doesn't seem like AI at all.]

Indeed, good work deserves a reward.

This is exactly what we want to see.

Then Lin Xingyuan heard a notification sound in his ear that someone with the IDs "圣聖台拉没有EVE" and "QB882573" had immediately given him two spicy strips each, and someone else with the ID "(*｀ω')" had given him one spicy strip. There were also various "knife" and "reputation" votes, which were incredibly pleasant to hear.

He grinned from ear to ear, but quickly composed himself when he met Durandal's serious gaze.

"Hmm... Your arrival was so sudden, I hadn't even thought about it."

Durandal pondered for a moment, then asked another question.

"Then what are you fighting for?"

Lin Xingyuan stated quite frankly: "For world peace."

【Hahaha】

This is so much fun!

Durandal frowned, his face showing doubt, and questioned with dissatisfaction.

"are you serious?"

This wish was both grand and empty; he felt that Lin Xingyuan was just making fun of him.

Lin Xingyuan shrugged, having his own reasoning: "If you knew the future of this world, you would understand why I think this way."

Durandal leaned back in his chair, adopting an accepting attitude: "Tell me about it."

A sentimental viewer requested the song "The Cocoon of the Moon," and amidst the sorrowful melody, Lin Xingyuan solemnly recounted the bleak future facing the UC universe. With the additions from the viewers, although it was only a summary, it basically explained everything.

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Durandal gasped, his breath catching in his throat.

Although the CE world he came from once came to the brink of destruction, it only happened once. This world, on the other hand, was better off. There were one great war after another, satellites crashing into the earth time and time again, and billions of people died. No wonder Lin Xingyuan said that this was hell.

Compared to those anthropomorphic characters, he felt that he was indeed a good person!

"So, if I could really rewrite the tragedy, maybe I could go back to my original world. Even if I can't go back, at least it would be better to live in a peaceful world, don't you think?"

"Hmm." Durandal understood. "So, what are your specific plans?"

"According to the plot, if General Rebil or General Tiam can survive, the Federation Army and the Federation government should learn from the experience and usher in reforms, right? I can't say it will be completely peaceful, but at least in the short term, there shouldn't be another tragedy like the colony satellites crashing into Earth."

"..."

Durandal tapped his fingers together, deep in thought, not as optimistic as Lin Xing had initially imagined. As a former speaker, he understood human nature, the complexities of power struggles, and the force of capital. If the PLANT, with its population of less than 100 million and a higher level of education, was in such a state, what hope was there for the Earth Federation, with its billions?
