Chapter 54: New System Functions

The Victoria defensive battle ended, and the victorious Alliance side began to clean up the battlefield.

Li Boyong climbed out of his Strike Dagger, looked at the battered condition of the unit, and couldn't help but mutter a meme to himself.

"I used to be an excellent unit, until I took an arrow to the knee."

After saying that, he laughed wantonly, not because he was so happy because he played a meme.

What made him happy was that he could still stand here and play memes, instead of being dug out from the wreckage of some unit, put into a body bag, and waiting for collective cremation.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily!"

Edward, who also left the unit, walked to Li Boyong's side and asked with a smile.

"Nothing, just feel it's good to be alive."

Li Boyong didn't hide it and answered honestly.

"So that's it, have a drink with everyone tonight?"

Edward was a little surprised, but then relieved, and then invited Li Boyong, not caring much about the unlucky nickname of Reaper.

After fighting with Li Boyong, he knew the real reason for the nickname Reaper. It was not that Li Boyong would bring bad luck to his teammates, but that Li Boyong was strong enough and tenacious enough. Even if he encountered a situation where his teammates were wiped out, he could struggle to walk out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

"Of course, let's drink the fine wine of victory!"

Li Boyong smiled and agreed.

That night, the surviving members of the special unit held a grand celebration party with the tacit consent of the commander. Of course, the young master from Orb and the Coordinator pilot did not participate.

The noisy celebration party lasted all night. At this time, no one would care about Li Boyong's unlucky nickname.

Perhaps the friendship of life and death on the battlefield can indeed shorten the relationship between two people in the shortest time.

No wonder some people say that one of the four ironies of life is having been a soldier together.

Laughing and making trouble, and by the way, driving with a few old pilots, telling a few small stories that can make the men present laugh knowingly, and drinking cheap beer together, Li Boyong was drunk for the first time in this world.

Then, after waking up the next day, Li Boyong learned from the unit commander that he had been promoted rapidly for his merits and became a captain in the Alliance army.

And with the promotion came a transfer order. He would return to the Space Force sequence, be assigned to the Archangel-class No. 2 ship—the Dominion, and serve as the MS squad leader of the ship, while receiving a new unit.

According to the unit commander, the newly appointed captain of the Dominion contributed a lot to this transfer order.

Hearing this gossip, thinking of being able to see that serious female officer who was upright and righteous again, a warmth rose in Li Boyong's heart.

However, since he was transferred to the Dominion, I am afraid he would see many old acquaintances again, but it is a pity that they would meet in a situation where their positions were opposite.

After receiving the promotion and transfer order, Li Boyong could not leave immediately.

Because the newly recaptured spaceport still needed to be sorted out, and a large amount of material mobilization also needed time. After all, the Alliance would send a large number of troops to space next, and there were many things to arrange. It was not just him who was going to space.

There were still three days before going to space. With his unit already scrapped, he had nothing to do, so he studied the system seriously.

Once on the Dominion, it was inevitable to experience that tragic decisive battle.

Being able to get a few more life-saving skills from that stingy system required careful consideration.

First, he confirmed the points he had accumulated through hard work in the third Victoria defensive battle.

A total of seven plot points and fifteen battle merit points.

Then he checked his character attributes.

Li Boyong (Natural)

Melee: 50

Shooting: 79

Reaction: 86

Will: 55

Skills: Belligerent, Commander

Title: Friendly Fire Reaper

What surprised him was that after experiencing such cruel battles, his attributes had all improved slightly.

Especially the melee attribute, which improved more, perhaps because the battle between MS would more frequently enter melee combat.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the lower melee attribute.

After all, he also vaguely realized that the lower the value, the easier it is to improve, and the higher the value, the more difficult it is to improve.

Next, Li Boyong carefully checked whether the system had opened any new functions.

It really added a Spirit Command panel behind the skill panel.

The Spirit Command panel was blank in the middle, indicating that Li Boyong did not yet possess any Spirit Commands, while the upper right corner had a Spirit value of 5555, which was exactly the same as the Will attribute, making him have to produce a kind of association.

This Will value will affect the upper limit of the Spirit value.

At the same time, under the Spirit Command panel, a learning button was provided.

After checking, Li Boyong saw all kinds of Spirit Commands, and the cost and conditions required for learning were also varied and different.

Li Boyong tasted it carefully and believed that the so-called Spirit Command can also be understood as a kind of active skill, with a short duration, but the ability provided is more powerful.

When there are more Spirit Commands learned, he can use different Spirit Commands according to the needs of the battlefield situation, which is very flexible, and of course, it is also limited by the upper limit of the Spirit value.

After confirming all this, Li Boyong thought about how to improve himself based on the seven plot points and fifteen battle merit points he had on hand.

After thinking about it, Li Boyong summarized two plans.

The first plan is to take advantage of his promotion to captain, spend five battle merit points to improve the Commander skill, and then use five battle merit points and five plot points to learn a standard Spirit Command - Focus (consumes fifteen Spirit points, increases reaction by fifteen points in one minute.)

An increase of fifteen points is huge, which means he can obtain a reaction speed close to that of a super Coordinator like Kira in a short time.

It's just that the improvement of this Commander skill is a bit dispensable, after all, it is a bit embarrassing to put it together with the effect of his Friendly Fire Reaper title.

One is to improve teammates, the other is to kill teammates to increase ability...

Don't underestimate the effect of the Friendly Fire Reaper title. Think about the last moment of the deep penetration in the Victoria defensive battle. He was able to burst out such powerful combat power, and the effect of the title should have played a significant role.

This plan is more comprehensive.

The second plan is to spend five plot points to learn the Survivor skill and play a greater role with the Friendly Fire Reaper title. In this case, he will not improve the Commander skill, but spend fifteen battle merit points to learn a Spirit Command - Evasion (consumes twenty Spirit points, significantly increases evasion ability for thirty seconds.)

The core idea of this is to increase his ability to survive in long-term chaotic battles.

Of course, there is actually an unreliable option, which is to spend five plot points and fifteen battle merit points to learn a skill called Real Man.

Real Man (after the unit is moderately damaged, increase the pilot's various abilities.)

The learning condition is to accumulate three kills when the unit is moderately damaged.

Li Boyong estimated that it was accumulated in the Victoria defensive battle.

But it feels a bit pitfall, after all, after the unit is damaged, some situations cannot be compensated by technology alone.

So this plan was abandoned by him.

Facing the two plans, after thinking about it, Li Boyong chose the second plan very heart-to-heart.

Stay steady, don't wave, wretched development... ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
