Chapter 234: Vulgar Welcome
This week of devilish training was completely wasted!
Yang Ming soon discovered that in order to please the empire's dignitaries, senior generals, and elders of the Council of Elders, his assessment was treated as a show for super reformers.
The basic assessment is to determine the performance of his machine, provide a combat power reference for the super modifiers who will participate in the assessment later, and remind the super modifiers who will appear later not to be too heavy-handed, nor to be careless and underestimate the enemy and get seriously injured.
The second major assessment is for Yang Ming to use this mechanical body to fight against different super-modifiers in different environments to test his overall combat effectiveness.
The third major assessment is that he teams up with four super modifiers to fight against five super modifiers in complex terrain, which tests his team coordination ability.
The result is...
Nine super-modifiers of average level cooperated with him to stage a gorgeous battle special effects drama.
Yang Ming understands acting.
The ammunition loaded inside his mechanical body was sprayed out without any care.
Missiles as thick as fingers were flying around, high-energy lasers as big as bowls were firing randomly, and several figures were performing continuous and difficult maneuvers in the air. Their accuracy and tactics were almost zero, just to make the explosion look good.
The nine super reformers also understand the inside story.
They either fight each other as a daily combat training and stay away from the violent humanoid machine;
Either you actively become a target of the humanoid machine, flying around in the air with a field of missiles, or you use your whole body of high-tech equipment to perform various difficult evasive maneuvers.
The damage rate of the venue seriously exceeded the venue repair budget for this month, and Director Riva called a halt to the brawl in time.
The nine super-modifiers looked dusty and dirty, but they were actually not seriously injured.
Yang Ming's mechanical body looks bright and energetic, but in fact it has consumed most of its ammunition and must replenish energy later.
"Very good," Director Riva said coldly, "White Ghost, you have passed the assessment of the Super Reformer Organization. You are welcome to join us and become a member of the Imperial Blade."
Yang Ming saluted in a formal manner, and the Imperial Military Song sounded at the scene.
The twelve judges, nine sparring partners and hundreds of spectators in the audience applauded together. Yang Ming adjusted the expression of his mechanical body, and a hint of excitement surged beneath the calm.
The imperial masters who were watching the show closed the live broadcast contentedly, and they all felt that the empire had conquered another difficult problem.
White Ghost, officially returned.
The audience in the stands began to disperse, and Bly, carrying a tray covered with a red cloth, walked up to Yang Ming along with several super modifiers.
"Congratulations," Bray said gently, "Please take good care of me in the future."
"Thanks."
Yang Ming lifted the red cloth and found several identity cards, two badges, and a special communicator.
Yang Ming joined the Super Reformer Organization as an exception, and was awarded the title of "Elite Member of the Sharp Knife Squad" by the Imperial Military, as well as the "General Privileged Permit" granted by the Council of Elders. He also received a salary subsidy card, which allowed him to receive a fixed number of Imperial Coins every month.
The shell-shaped communicator is the same as Catherine's, and is mainly responsible for receiving tasks and currying favor with leaders.
Those two badges are interesting. One is the purple Imperial Star emblem with Hui Saka's name on it, and the other is the White Ghost emblem with the words "Imperial Super Reformer White Ghost" on it.
From now on, his mechanical body is no longer contraband.
He is part of the sharp blade of the empire and the protector of the happy lives of the people of the empire.
Bly smiled and said, "Because you are very special, Mr. White Ghost, the organization is still studying your team affiliation and task assignment. But I can tip you off. There is a high probability that you will be assigned to my group and become an elite operator under Captain Catherine."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and turned to look for Catherine.
"She went to eat. She said she wanted to avoid suspicion," Bly laughed. "How about going to have lunch with her? The food in the cafeteria here is pretty good."
Yang Ming agreed and said, "Please take care of me in the future."
"Mr. White Ghost," a super modified person asked, "What do you think of our strength? Based on the fight just now."
Yang Ming looked thoughtful and said slowly:
"Very powerful. The powerful strength of the transformer itself, perfectly integrated with various auxiliary machines, has exploded with amazing combat power. It can be said that it is the pinnacle of combat for the human species.
"The Empire's Super Modifiers have completely erased the boundaries between biochemical modification and mechanical modification. Every Super Modifier must have a strong physique and the support of powerful technology.
"If we meet head-on on the battlefield, as long as you have a small team to form a circle, I have no confidence that I can escape intact."
A super modder said with emotion: "But you escaped during the last live broadcast. We mobilized so much strength, but in the end we just ate a mouthful of smoke."
"That's because you didn't get the order to kill, and you were restricted everywhere," Yang Ming said with a smile, "but I had already planned everything. It was an escape show."
"Yes, when we saw more than a thousand white ghosts in the square, we were completely numb."
They began to ask questions:
"Do you have a secret team? How do you manage to hack into the networks of the Empire and the New Federation at will?"
"Mr. White Ghost, what is your maximum one-handed grip strength?"
"You were able to obtain first-hand valuable intelligence. Did you sneak into the New Federation Insect Breeding Base? The things captured from that angle were definitely taken from inside."
"Mr. White Ghost, I still remember the scene of you rushing into the queen's nest alone. We have all argued that in the simulated battle, we would be overwhelmed by the swarm and would have no way to fight our way out..."
One by one, the super reformers gathered together.
Yang Ming gradually walked into the crowd.
He was very kind and answered questions around him, which were not difficult at all.
If the assessment just now was a super show, then now it is more like a fan meeting after the super show.
…
The command center of the super-modified training base.
Several elderly people watched this scene with somewhat gloomy expressions.
"Director Riva, White Ghost's personal prestige is far beyond our expectations."
"I have reminded you of this before," Riva Figueroa said calmly, "White Ghost has never had a direct conflict with the imperial officials before. He only does two things: fighting the Zerg and reporting corrupt officials. Our boys and girls don't have any hatred for him. They all respect White Ghost."
"We must find a way to reduce his influence and ensure that these precious combat units are loyal to the Empire rather than to a certain individual."
"Please rest assured about this. Please have more confidence in our players."
Director Ruiwa said seriously:
"Now that White Ghost has become a member of the Super Reformer Organization, we must also prepare for several problems in advance."
"What's the problem?"
“The elders should soon issue an order for White Ghost to cooperate with propaganda to increase the public’s trust in the authorities.
"The military has already received the latest insect detection technology donated by White Ghost. If a swarm of insects is discovered, the image of White Ghost and the Imperial warriors fighting side by side will also be a good publicity point.
"The New Federation has always denied their plan to bury the bugs. White Ghost is now our subordinate. The higher-ups will definitely ask him to produce more evidence. We want to make our people believe that the New Federation is evil. This is our consistent strategy."
Director Ruiwa rubbed his forehead and concluded in a deep voice:
“Those are the biggest issues.
“We have to convince the White Ghost to cooperate with us, but the White Ghost is not completely under our control and is full of unknown factors.
“He still insists on justice in the eyes of young people, and he certainly won’t help with many things.
"Believe me, the higher-ups will definitely throw all these things at us. If we explain that White Ghost is just cooperating with us and we can't force him to do anything, we will be regarded as incompetent."
Several old men fell silent at the same time.
It seemed like they had taken over a hot potato.
An old man said, "Director Ruiwa, think of a solution."
Reeva Figueroa: …
Just like the white ghost will listen to her!
…
Catherine's mask transformed into an eyepatch, revealing her mouth and chin so she could ingest food.
She has to wear the mask all the time to prevent herself from being mentally controlled by Bligh, and it is also a special discipline set just for her by the organization.
Director Riva had just sent her a combat order, which she couldn't understand.
[You will officially become the captain of White Ghost and use all means to make him obey your command. ]
What does 'all means' mean?
Moreover, the prerequisite for this order is that the White Ghost will disobey orders?
Catherine stared at the communicator in deep thought. The barbecue on the fork hovered for a long time and never reached her mouth.
"Oh, are you eating?"
This voice needs a beating.
Catherine held the communicator, completed the action she had paused before, and put the barbecue into her mouth and chewed it carefully.
Yang Ming brought a plate of mecha lubricants and energy replenishers and sat next to Catherine. He opened a bottle of lubricant with interest and put it to his mouth and sucked it like jelly.
When he looked at Catherine before, he always thought that Catherine had a good figure, tender skin, and her appearance was only 80 points. But now, after a closer look, Catherine's appearance is also a standard imperial beauty, and she is particularly attractive.
Maybe it’s because there has been a subtle change in my mentality?
"What are you looking at?" Catherine glanced at him.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I'm watching the Imperial Blade, the elite among the elite, the elite captain among the super reformers."
"Bah," Catherine was instantly defeated, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I wonder how many girls you have practiced your skill of smooth talk on."
Yang Ming said seriously: "I swear to God, I only have two official ex-girlfriends."
Catherine: "How did you break up?"
"Shouldn't a normal girl ask informally? Why did you start by asking how we broke up?"
"I'm more interested in this aspect," Catherine said calmly, "I want to know how those two ladies escaped the clutches of the liar and regained their lives."
“That’s too much!”
Yang Ming let out a long sigh.
He thought of Windsor, the gentle, beautiful, soft noble lady who left him for her ideals and ambitions.
He missed the time he spent with Hera. If it weren't for the Zerg Queen from the edge of the galaxy who interfered, the two of them would probably still be living a shameless and happy life.
"For some very complicated reasons."
Yang Ming stammered and forcibly changed the subject:
"How is the war going in the Southern Jiangsu Federation?"
“There is no resistance anymore.”
Catherine brushed off the topic lightly and continued:
"I will be staying in the training center for a while. During this time, I will organize team training. You have been assigned to my team.
"Your career as a talk show host is coming to an end. Remember to take a long vacation for yourself."
"I'm ready," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The purpose of me doing the show now is actually to earn some announcement fees. Making bionic robots like this is really a waste of money."
"Well, I will impose the strictest discipline on you. Your mechanical body must also be integrated into the existing battle sequence."
Yang Ming lowered his voice and said, "Yes, Captain!"
"You're in good spirits," Catherine said calmly. "Also, you need to be prepared. The ones you just met are all Super Modifiers who are relatively friendly to you. Some Super Modifiers are not convinced by you... According to the rules of Super Modifiers, you need to solve these problems by yourself."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I expected this. Don't worry, if anyone dares to mess with my mechanical body, I will find a chance to make them pay back a hundredfold."
"Your combat power in this body is still too weak."
Catherine shook her head, picked up the empty plate and walked towards the cafeteria door, not forgetting to say:
"Don't forget the dance video you owe me ."
Yang Ming snapped his fingers, then picked up a can of Real Energy Drink to replenish his body with energy.
In the Dongfeng.
The scene that Yang Ming saw at this moment was perfectly presented in front of Lu by the projection screen outside the holographic helmet.
Lu exclaimed: "This captain is so cool."
Suddenly, there was a discordant element in the picture. Three or four sturdy men walked towards Yang Ming with ferocious expressions.
Just as the boss expected, the troublemaker came!
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
At the surface training base on Yaha Star, Yang Ming’s mechanical body picked up the plate and was about to leave.
It's not that he was afraid of such a small scene, but the real reason was that the combat power of his mechanical body was limited. He was good at providing fire support when in a team, but fighting head-on with these super-modifiers would only be humiliating.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. He is best at flexion and extension exercises.
"Hey, Ghost."
A man with a rough voice suddenly spoke, and a big hand pressed on the shoulder of Yang Ming's mechanical body.
Yang Ming: I can just do an over-the-shoulder throw!
If the main body is here.
Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes, turned around with the plate in hand, and asked softly, "Do you have any advice?"
The man in the middle said in a deep voice: "Pull your real body over to fight with us. You decide the place and time, we can go anywhere."
"I usually don't fight meaningless fights like this," Yang Ming said with a smile, "and with the fighting power of the three of you, even if there are thirty more of you, I still won't be able to defeat you."
"You kid!"
A sturdy man grabbed Yang Ming's collar and lifted the two-hundred-pound mechanical body up into the air by its feet.
"Don't think that just because you've defeated a few special forces from the Skywrath Fortress, no one can be your opponent! This is the Super Transformer Base! We are the real top!"
"that……"
Yang Ming's expression changed slightly:
"You'd better put me down immediately. This is very friendly advice."
"You arrogant fellow! You need to learn what the rules are today!"
The sturdy man held Yang Ming in his right hand, clenched his left hand into a fist as big as a casserole, and hit Yang Ming's mechanical body directly on the forehead.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Yang Ming's forehead was intact, and the huge fist was firmly blocked by a delicate palm.
Catherine appeared beside Yang Ming, her entire face covered by a mask.
The sturdy man reacted quickly and tried to push away Catherine's right hand immediately.
Catherine's arms trembled, and the sturdy man staggered back two steps. One of his long legs lifted up his windbreaker, and the sole of his sneaker kicked the sturdy man on the forehead with lightning speed!
"Katherine! Don't you dare to do it directly!"
The two people next to him roared and rushed forward.
Catherine took a lunge step, clenched her fists and rushed forward, her slender body bursting out with powerful energy.
Several muffled sounds were heard in the field, and three sturdy bodies flew backwards one after another, smashing two long tables and four chairs.
The super-modifier's ability to withstand blows is indeed good. The three strong men jumped up immediately, and wisely chose to glare at Catherine from a distance and did not try to move forward again.
"He will be on my team from now on," Catherine said with a sharp look in her eyes, "If you don't dare to fight, get out of here."
The three men were originally planning to challenge Catherine for a duel, but the appearance of several drones with Director Riva's portrait on them made them decide to challenge Catherine another day.
"Well," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Didn't you say that I need to solve this situation myself?"
Catherine's voice softened immediately, and she snorted, "Am I wrong to help you?"
Yang Ming sighed: "I am a white ghost, you make me lose face."
"…Then I'll pay attention next time."
"Well, I'll forgive you if we watch a movie together."
"What movie? I like comedies."
"I don't know. My machine has a playback function. We can watch it directly in a dimly lit environment."
"You can't even bear to buy two movie tickets? Is White Ghost poorer than me?"
Under the gaze of a group of super-modifiers around them, the two of them walked away arguing with each other.
Director Riva, who witnessed this scene through a drone, fell into deep thought.
She seemed to have found a way to control the white ghost.
