Gundam UC Hunting Time

It seems like I tipped you fifty razor blades, which makes me a little embarrassed...

Thank you everyone for your support.

Chapter 111 Immaculate Justice

At dawn, the Gumpel transport plane landed at the base, and ground crew and maintenance technicians immediately got on board and began working.

Lin Xingyuan stepped out of the machine and immediately summoned everyone to his office. Because he was in a very bad mood, he almost reflexively pointed towards the door when he saw Mira lighting a cigarette.

"If you're going to smoke, please leave!"

The comments section had already warned that this woman's "smoke" was more dangerous than a deadly knife, and they had to be on high alert.

Mira didn't argue. She shrugged, put away her cigarette and lighter, turned on the camera, and started filming promotional materials.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Xingyuan did not start correcting the people right away. Instead, he first conducted a routine battle debriefing and severely criticized the three for their mistakes in this operation.

First, the trio's tactical coordination was, to put it mildly, questionable. Lilith Aiden was too self-centered, showing absolutely no cooperation with her teammates, only charging recklessly. Sherry Page, as the core player, not only tolerated this behavior without correcting it, but also made the mistake of getting too close to her teammates, causing both of them to be in danger. As for Doris, Lin Xingyuan suspected that this woman was simply slacking off and didn't consider herself part of the team at all.

Secondly, there is the issue of weapon usage.

Lilith Aiden wasted ammunition needlessly, which deserves criticism; she also has a knives-wielding addiction, which also deserves criticism! And she manipulated her targets, which deserves even more criticism! Solitary confinement is the answer!

Finally, there's the issue of chatting idly in communications.

Doris has to write a self-criticism for this and reflect on her attitude towards her superiors.

It's a complete mess.

Of course, the new team will definitely have all sorts of problems. Lin Xingyuan can be forgiven, but personal issues are serious.

"Lieutenant Lilith Aiden! What are we fighting for?"

Sitting down in the chair, Lin Xingyuan looked up at Lilith Aiden and asked in a stern tone.

"To avenge Zeon!" Lilith Aiden, who had been criticized several times and was already unhappy, answered without hesitation, her tone stubborn, just like a female version of Shin Asuka.

"It's for righteous revenge!"

Lin Xingyuan added a subject to her answer, but Lilith Aiden didn't understand and insisted.

"Isn't that the same thing?"

"Different."

"What's different?"

She believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and didn't think she had done anything wrong.

“I am fighting to stop the atrocities of the Zeon army, but if I become a beast like them, I will be putting the cart before the horse.”

"The Zeon soldiers all deserve to die, but you're firing on the infantry too, aren't you?"

“All Zeon soldiers with guns deserve to die—there’s a big difference.” Lin Xingyuan patiently soothed Hakimi, who was suffering from PTSD: “If we also massacre surrendered enemy soldiers, the enemy will do the same to our people. Do you want to cause the deaths of others because of your own reasons?”

"...Say whatever you want."

Although she was still being stubborn, Lilith Aiden's tone had softened, but Doris suddenly said in a low voice.

"Indeed, the Zeon army doesn't care about that."

Faced with billions of victims, both sides were already bloodthirsty, and Lin Xingyuan's ideas were in the minority.

Lin Xingyuan glanced at her: "Even so, I will not tarnish my sense of justice for the sake of revenge."

"Justice..."

Doris savored the word, looked at Lin Xingyuan's young face, and smiled as she shut her mouth. Anita, on the other hand, looked at Lin Xingyuan with a brighter, more genuine light in her eyes.

"Just as rumored, Captain, you're just like a paladin from a story."

She said sincerely that she must be a believer. Lin Xingyuan was speechless. He felt that the Federal Army truly lived up to its reputation as a 'decadent capitalist' army. Even a perfectly normal idea could be made to seem so unconventional.

"In short," he stood up, looked at the three men with their varying expressions, and concluded, "Revenge is a legitimate right, but one shouldn't turn oneself into a beast. Furthermore, attacking unarmed people is simply morally reprehensible. To ensure we can sleep soundly after the war, we must adhere to the basic rules of engagement. That's all I have to say. Do you have any objections?"

Just then, the morning light shone through the window onto Lin Xingyuan, as if coating him with a layer of light. Combined with his earnest words, it made everyone stunned, and they felt that the gloom in their hearts was dispelled.

After a long while, Doris was the first to come to her senses and sighed.

"After the war... well, we'd have to be alive by then..."

"Don't worry, if you're prepared, death won't come for you, I assure you."

Lin Xingyuan smiled and said, "Let's end with that." Mila, who had been filming the whole time, couldn't help but applaud.

"Captain, what you said today will be great propaganda material."

Lin Xingyuan had completely forgotten about the filming. After recalling his earlier remarks, he realized there was nothing wrong with them and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. Let's call it a day and go eat."

He patted her, and Mira was the first to leave with the camera. As the group walked out of the office, Shirley Page quietly walked up to Lin Xingyuan.

"Captain."

"what?"

Lin Xingyuan turned to look at the short girl—perhaps due to early training, Shirley Paige had stopped growing very early. Although she had a great figure, her height was a bit of a pity, and with her baby face, she looked more like a child.

"Will you stay in the army forever?" she asked softly.

"Maybe."

"Will you become a big shot in the future? No, you definitely will, after all, you are so young and promising."

"I hope so." Lin Xingyuan smiled and shrugged.

"That's good……"

Her words seemed nonsensical, which puzzled Lin Xingyuan.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

"It's nothing, I just think that if someone like you becomes a big shot, the Federation might become something to look forward to."

Shirley Page sighed softly, and Lin Xingyuan immediately understood her thoughts—she wanted to find a backer.

This girl's life was truly tragic. She excelled in gymnastics from a young age, finally earning an exemption, only to be targeted by a Federation officer with ulterior motives and forced into Project V. Her achievements were erased, and she never even became a Gundam pilot. After becoming a mobile suit pilot, she was sent on a mission she knew was a trap. She was the only survivor, and again, she was silenced. From then on, the only people she could trust were herself and the power she wielded. Later, she joined the Titans, encountered a Jerid, and was again unlucky, ultimately being shot down by Char and Kamille, thus ending her tragic life.

However, it is indeed impressive that she withstood attacks from two Newtypes for several minutes on her own.

"One person can't do that kind of thing,"

He didn't use empty words to appease her, and Shirley Page, who understood the power of the system, thought so too.

Indeed, one person's strength is too insignificant.

Those who have wept because of the oppression of power may have such thoughts, and once they embark on the path of pursuing power, it often means the beginning of tragedy.

Feeling something was amiss, Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but add a comment.

"By the way, if you ever encounter someone named Jellite, be sure to stay away from them, lest you get caught in the crossfire when he gets struck by lightning."

"Huh?" Shirley Page looked at Lin Xingyuan in confusion: "What? This is... the Paladin's Proverb?"

"Just take it as a prophecy of the new humans." Lin Xingyuan glanced around; Mira wasn't there, and Doris couldn't hear him either. He whispered, "Don't tell anyone, okay?"

Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!

The live chat erupted in laughter, with some even making fun of Lin Xingyuan.

[You mean well? You're just lusting after her body! You're despicable!]

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Shirley Paige laughed, her steps becoming lighter as a result. Then she suddenly remembered something and discussed it with Lin Xingyuan with a bitter face.

"By the way, Captain, can I skip writing the self-criticism? I'm not good with words."

"no!"

"Please~ I know I was wrong~ 500 words is too many~"

"no!"

Soon, the group entered the restaurant together. Lin Xingyuan sat down with a plate and couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of food—sandwiches, egg tarts, side dishes, meat pies, beans, fries, and a variety of fruit platters. Although it wasn't as good as Chinese food, it was still a rare sight on the Luna 2.

"It's still better on Earth, except there's less meat."

He was a carnivore, and before he could finish speaking, a chicken leg was shoved into his hand. Lilith, still chewing on her sandwich, looked completely unfazed.

"I don't like eating meat."

Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Last day of the month, please support me! Thank you!

Chapter 112 Woman, You're Playing with Fire

After the battle, Lin Xingyuan finally had time to check the battle rewards.

After a long absence, he opened his personal panel and first checked his combat experience. The increase was barely noticeable, and he couldn't help but shake his head. Then he looked at his combat rating, which was only D+. Considering how disastrous this battle had been, this rating was to be expected.

Thus, combined with the E rating obtained from the air combat and the C rating from the previous tutorial, I have obtained 3 chances to draw cards.

It's ridiculous that they don't give him a lottery for air combat; it seems the GM only wants him to be an MS pilot.

Complaining about the GM's stinginess, Lin Xingyuan clicked on the lottery without much expectation. Three cards quickly appeared in his field of vision. He clicked on them one by one and obtained a skill card and two component design blueprint cards.

At first, he excitedly sat up, thinking he was incredibly lucky, but after reading the contents, he immediately lay back down.

The skill is Emergency Repair +1. The two component cards are the blueprint for the 00-Li Thug-style Super Vibration Blade and the blueprint for the MD-0032G Dylanza Beam Torch from Mercury's Witch.

It's so tasteless.

Emergency repairs are like proof of his learning progress. As for the thug-style super-vibration blade—why use this when you already have a beam saber? And Dylanza's beam torch is just a different style of beam spear; the technology here can easily do that.

These are all rewards of this level; they're not entirely useless, but they're only slightly useful.

At this rate, when will I ever be able to draw another character card?

After thinking about his alliance with Durandal, he opened Durandal's panel again and was surprised to see that his favorability had actually increased! It had reached fifty-five points! It seems that the two of them have been cooperating well recently, but if he doesn't manage to draw any more character cards, this increase in favorability will probably not be enough to offset the losses.

The only thing to be happy about is that his reputation has increased significantly, and the astonishing amount of donations has caused his skill progress bars to increase considerably!

With mixed feelings, Lin Xingyuan drifted off to sleep. When he woke up again, it was already afternoon. He first went to check on Lilith Aiden, who was fast asleep in the detention room, looking quite content, even her dark circles had faded. Smiling and shaking his head, he then went to see Shirley Paige. She had woken up even earlier than Lin Xingyuan and was biting her pen, her face full of distress as she struggled with the words of her organizational self-criticism. Upon seeing Lin Xingyuan, she immediately tried to act coquettishly. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that with Lin Xingyuan, a pretty girl's coquettishness would only backfire.

Lin Xingyuan left under her resentful gaze and went to Doris Brandt's room. Thinking about this woman's background, he deliberately walked lightly, and sure enough, as soon as he approached the door, he heard her talking to another person.

"...How is it, your combat hero captain?"

"Don't even mention it. He's a jerk who talks a lot about justice, like a naive little boy. It's unbearable."

"Then wouldn't you have a very hard time staying here?"

"No, the little boy captain is very strong, I can just follow along and slack off."

"Hehehe, then you better not fall for it."

"How could that be? He was transferred in September!?"

Lin Xingyuan appeared silently at the door, startling Doris, who was combing her hair and talking on the phone. Doris instinctively hung up the call.
