Gundam UC Hunting Time

It wasn't that Lin Xingyuan's side was the worst off; it was just that their opponents were much stronger than the three of them.

After being deployed to the battlefield, the Great Demon did indeed become a nightmare for the Federation forces.

Chapter 133 They're All Talented

"They're all talented..."

After reviewing the three's battle records, Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Lilith Aiden miraculously figured out a way to overcome the muddy terrain immediately, accurately grasping the key to victory and quickly eliminating her opponent. Although her fighting style was somewhat beastly, her overall performance was impeccable.

Shirley Page was exceptionally astute; she not only remembered his advice but also applied it effectively in combat, moving beyond a purely direct approach. Moreover, her skill, balance, and breakthroughs in operating the mecha were particularly impressive, fully utilizing its capabilities, even exceeding them.

While Doris Brandt appears utterly unserious in battle, she is actually calm and collected throughout, making correct tactical choices and executing maneuvers flawlessly. As a fire support character, her performance is outstanding; aside from a slightly reckless final move, the rest of her actions could serve as a tactical demonstration.

In conclusion, the three have made great progress in MS combat, and there are many things that Lin Xingyuan can learn from them—such as Lilith Aiden's battlefield acumen, Sherry Page's masterful maneuvering, and Doris Brandt's ease and composure.

Indeed, the ancients were right: "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me."

Seeing Lin Xingyuan's complicated expression and sentimental tone, the three looked at each other for a moment. Finally, Lilith Aiden puffed out her chest and unexpectedly stood up first to criticize herself.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I was too arrogant and didn't follow Tail-Hachi's guidance during the battle. Please criticize me."

"what?"

Lin Xingyuan looked at her in surprise, and then Shirley Page stepped forward with her hands behind her back.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I lost a valuable beam weapon and my close combat ability was insufficient, which resulted in damage to the valuable mobile suit."

"what?"

Lin Xingyuan stared wide-eyed at the baby-faced girl, speechless for a moment: What is this girl talking about?

[He's not good at close combat, but all his victories were achieved through close combat] The comments section was also filled with humorous remarks.

Although Sherry's fighting was indeed a bit messy, far less swift and decisive than Lilith Aiden's, that's just how strange things are.

Then all three of them turned their gaze to Doris Brandt, who had no military bearing whatsoever.

"...Do I want one too? There's really no way around it. Okay, I admit that last move was a bit risky, but it was also something I was confident about. There's no need to criticize it, right?"

She waved her hand playfully, and Anita, standing beside her, chimed in to smooth things over.

"Everyone performed exceptionally well, defeating an opponent several times their size under such adverse conditions, right, Captain?"

Hearing her nervous voice and seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

“No, I didn’t mean to criticize you. Anita is right, everyone did a great job, and I’m very pleased.”

He frankly praised that this time it was everyone's turn to feel incredulous.

"what?"

"what?"

"Is this a miracle from God?"

It's no wonder they were surprised; Lin Xingyuan was usually too strict and never gave them a kind look in this regard.

"Hey! What do you mean by this? Do you only feel comfortable when I yell at you?"

Lin Xingyuan was a little annoyed. The three of them looked at each other again, and then Shirley Page nodded.

"I feel that the way you are, Captain, is more like it."

"Feel the same."

"really."

The viewers in the live chat burst into laughter.

Seeing the cunning in the three people's eyes, Lin Xingyuan understood.

"Alright, since you like it, I won't stand on ceremony."

So he immediately seized on the details of the battle and criticized them one by one. Lilith and Sherry obediently accepted it, but Doris was very unhappy and rolled her eyes at the two of them.

"What are you guys doing? You're just asking for trouble, don't drag me into it!"

At this moment, the inspection and correction work at Lugao was in full swing, but the technicians were clearly not very focused. When they heard what the others said, they couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?"

Doris glanced over with a sinister look and asked, half-jokingly. The technicians immediately perked up and pretended to be seriously discussing the machine's problems.

"The wear and tear on the magnetic field motor is really severe..."

"The reactor actually restarted during the battle? What on earth happened?"

"The armor can deform to this extent? This is Luna Titanium Alloy! How did they manage that?"

This time it was Sherry and the others' turn to be surprised. Just as they were about to ask, the transport plane responsible for clearing the battlefield returned to the base with the wreckage of the enemy planes. The roar of the engines and the accompanying hurricane drowned out all other noises. Then the transport plane opened its hatch, revealing all sorts of enemy plane wreckage. The most eye-catching of them all was the nearly intact experimental Dom, which had lost its combat capability due to a crash. This was a precious sample that Lin Xingyuan had specially left behind, without even killing the pilot.

Doris: "What the hell? A woman wearing a skirt? Or bell-bottoms? What terrible taste."

Shirley: "It's really ugly, not elegant at all."

Lilith: "Wow, it's huge..."

The three spoke in their own unique styles, but Anita was the MVP, giving Lin Xingyuan plenty of emotional value.

"As expected of the captain, he managed to capture the enemy's new type of machine intact! That's a great achievement!"

"really."

Mira, who had been watching from the sidelines with her arms crossed, nodded and gave Lin Xingyuan a thumbs up.

"Don't be surprised yet, take a look at this first."

Lin Xingyuan couldn't laugh. He used the keyboard to open his battle log and showed it to them.

Completely different from the Zaku and Gouf combat combination, the hovercraft's unique mobility and astonishing speed immediately shocked the three who had just become somewhat complacent. Looking at the terrifying impact deformation of Lin Xingyuan's aircraft's belly, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

"What kind of monster has the Zeon army created? It's amazing you survived..."

Doris couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and the other girls also looked at Lin Xingyuan with concern, their worries and fears evident.

Lin Xingyuan was moved, but his expression did not soften at all. He tapped the computer screen.

"Alright, here's our new challenge: how to deal with the enemy's new type of aircraft."

Leaving aside Lin Xingyuan and his group starting to research and compile a booklet on how to deal with the Great Demon, on the other hand—

At the same time, over North America—

The Zeon-class attack carrier ACA-01 Gau flew to the edge of the atmosphere and received the Muse shuttle that had been brought down from orbit.

Char Aznable, who arrived in a shuttle, then met with Garma Zabi, the Supreme Commander of the Earth Attack Force, in the bridge command room.

"Char Aznable of the Space Attack Force salutes Colonel Garma Zabi, Commander-in-Chief of the Earth Attack Force! Long live Zeon!"

He saluted, his military posture and etiquette impeccable.

Karma Zabi, who had been frowning and looking angry—this youngest son of Dejin Zabi, was only eight years old when his father ascended the throne of the Principality of Zeon. Perhaps due to his environment, or perhaps it was his nature, he lacked the decisiveness and ambition of a general. Of course, it was also perhaps because he was too young and impatient. Upon receiving news of the reconnaissance plane's failure and the annihilation of the special attack force, he immediately panicked and became angry, ordering Rear Admiral Som, the base commander, to dispatch three G.W. attack carriers to attack the base. Now, seeing the trustworthy Char arrive, he felt much more at ease. After shaking hands with him, he extended his right index finger, played with the long hair hanging down from his right temple, and smiled.

"Don't do that. Just call me Karma, like we did in military school."

Char then disregarded formalities and extended his hand to Karmazabi with a smile.

“Hey, Karma, this isn’t like you. You’re so worried about just an enemy pilot.”

"Don't say that, Xia. Didn't you rush over as soon as you heard the news?"

"That cannot be denied, after all, I am tasked with avenging Lord Dozle. How is the situation?"

Char shrugged and looked at the big screen. On the screen, standing on the wreckage of a new Zeon mobile suit, a black Gundam with red eyes stared straight at him, making him frown.

Karmazabi's expression turned gloomy again.

"The special forces team was wiped out. All 13 aircraft were destroyed, including the new aircraft under testing. Not only did we fail to defeat the enemy, but the Federation forces also obtained our military secrets. I really don't know how to explain this to my sister."

"I'm sorry, I failed to shoot it down before it grew stronger. Now it seems it has become even more powerful, requiring you to take action in person."

Char subtly complimented Karma, showcasing his social skills, and Karma immediately showed a pleased expression, turning around to comfort him.

"Don't worry about it, it's a new type of aircraft from the Federation Army after all. As for you, you've been fighting hard all this time. Just watch from here and take a rest."

"I appreciate your kindness, but with such a grand display, do you think they'll be waiting for us there?"

He offered his opinion calmly, and Karma was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he meant and honestly accepted it.

"You truly are my best friend. Only you would seriously point out my mistakes, unlike others who would just brush me off."

"I apologize for my intrusion."

"No, it's because I have a friend like you who speaks frankly that I can stand on my own sooner. Thank you."

"Hahaha~"

Char laughed heartily, making Karma a little embarrassed.

"Stop laughing, the soldiers are watching."

Chapter 134 Battle Evaluation and Rewards

"...We conducted a detailed inspection of the machine last night, especially the nuclear fusion reactor and propulsion system. Although conditions were limited, the quality can be guaranteed. The only problem is that the deformed armor cannot be repaired immediately..."

Inside the base's underground hangar, originally intended for fighter jets, maintenance personnel were cleaning various combat traces from four mobile suits. High-pressure water jets washed over them, leaving mud and grime flowing across the ground. The scene looked less like the maintenance of advanced mobile suits and more like the cleaning of combat vehicles. The technical officer in charge briefed Lin Xingyuan on the project's progress, his eyes, visible beneath his glasses, bloodshot.

They were originally supposed to evacuate the base and head to the rear after the battle, but because Zeon reconnaissance planes were circling nearby and could attract attacks at any time, they had no choice but to carry out maintenance and repairs at the base.

However, such a high level of attention proves that he has indeed attracted Karma Zabi's attention—the base's air defense department observed three Gau-class warships cruising at high altitude, and Mira's intelligence also indicated that Karma was very likely on one of them.

"Hmm, what about the other mobile suits? When will the repair parts arrive? Will they be affected by the Zeon forces' activities?"

Lin Xingyuan looked at Shirley Page's mech; the headless Ground GM lay there, looking rather pitiful. The other mechs were alright; they just needed resupplying with ammunition.

"The transport route is under the protection of our air force and will not be affected. As for this side, they were just defeated by you, and they don't have the ability or the courage to attack this base immediately, do they?"

The person in charge of maintenance adjusted his glasses and said with great respect.

Lin Xingyuan simply smiled and didn't respond. His Newtype intuition told him that the Zeon forces wouldn't attack this base, but that was all. If they left by transport plane or land and were discovered by reconnaissance aircraft, it would immediately trigger an attack by the Gau-class destroyers.

"I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."

"Yes, sir!" The technical officer saluted and left.

So, the next step is to find an opportunity to take down Karma.

Lin Xingyuan looked up at the sky, feeling a little nostalgic for Durandal.

If only the Speaker were here, that old fox would surely come up with a plan suitable for the current situation.

Why haven't you checked your rewards yet, PL?

A barrage of comments suddenly appeared, pulling Lin Xingyuan back to reality from his daydreams.

Yeah, I was so focused on how to outmaneuver Karma that I forgot about the important thing.

He immediately opened his personal panel, where multiple reward notifications came into view.

In the numerous battles over the past few days, the squad has destroyed more than thirty MS machines and a number of other tanks, fighters, and other equipment. He personally destroyed at least ten machines and received four battle ratings: D+, D, and C- for the first three battles, and B+ for the most recent one. The ratings are quite high, and if you count the number of draws, it's a whopping seven!

He couldn't help but get excited, rubbing his hands together, and under the expectant gaze of thousands of viewers, he went all in.
