"Level 15 Tactical Analyst?"
Lin Yuan smiled wryly. How could there not be one?
Tactical Analysis was one of the essential subjects that an Elite Mechanical Warrior from Mechanical City had to master, just like Mechanical Assembly. If he could elevate his Mechanical Assembly skills to Level 15, why couldn't others raise their Tactical Analysis skills to the same level?
However, it seemed that the subject of Tactical Analyst was much more challenging than mechanical repair, at least in Lin Yuan's view.
"Then, I need the most reasonable compensation suggestions!"
"Ding! This request is unreasonable. The previously calculated result pertains only to a specific area. The dynamic model of Tactical Analysis requires the entire fortress's defense system to make a basic assessment and recommendations. However, based on the current conditions, this plan has no possibility of implementation; there simply isn't enough time, and there is no corresponding execution capability."
...
Lin Yuan fell silent; this was indeed true. The attack on the Seventh Training Base would commence in just a few hours, and as for his side, even if he managed to persuade everyone in Team D-11, he couldn't unify command over the area he was responsible for defending.
"Alright, I won't ask for too much. Surely we can hold onto the D Node? I hope that at a critical moment, we can seize control of the D Node. As long as we can support it for as long as possible from this node!"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and finally said helplessly; this was all he could do.
"Ding! Plan accepted. Minimum standard set in Tactical Analysis. Data generation in progress. Please record: Deploy no less than 0 units of Automated Artillery at coordinates 14,5,980; deploy no less than 0 units of Automated Artillery at coordinates 198,46,097; deploy no less than 10,000 units of Space Stealth Trick Thunder at coordinates 45,45,0876, 455,45,0876, and 555,45,0876 respectively. Deploy no less than twelve Energy Sniper Cannons at coordinates 41,05,817 and at least two snipers capable of firing Level Three Oscillator shots. Deploy no less than fifty Melee-Type Mechanical Warriors or 0 Machine Soldiers at coordinates 14,75,970. Please prepare at least 0 drones on standby. The above arrangements can withstand three consecutive attacks from the opponent. Subsequently, they will be deciphered by the opponent's Tactical Analyst."
At this moment, with the specific Tactical Analysis in hand, Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. It wasn't easy; just arranging this round was incredibly challenging for him.
If he relied solely on exchanging reputation points, he would need at least fifty thousand points from the Pirate Alliance. Indeed, such a large-scale war was not something a poor person could afford to engage in.
He currently had less than ten thousand reputation points left, which was far from enough to resolve the situation.
With no other choice, he had to reach out for help through the sub-channel of the D-11 squadron, asking the commander of L- if they could support him with some Reputation Points, as he wanted to rearrange his defensive area.
"I'm sorry, your request is not permitted. Our squadron's reputation points are already limited, and we can't spare any to enhance your defenses. The key issue is that I do not recognize your so-called plan. You should know that the fortifications in our respective areas were painstakingly crafted by our Mechanical Lion's Tactical Analyst team. I don't believe they are as inadequate as yours. Of course, if you insist, you can add extra firepower defenses on your own."
The commander of L- decisively rejected Lin Yuan's request.
"Are you kidding? That guy with the tail number 480, aren't you supposed to be the worst Target Student in Ninth Training Base history? Ten subjects, ten worst ratings—how can you question Carlo from Mechanical Lion? He is a level 15 Tactical Analyst and has a full team of twenty Tactical Analysts above level one working with him. Their tactical designs are, in my opinion, nearly perfect. Even Seventh Training Base, no matter how impressive they are, won't break through our fortifications in a short time. As long as we can hold for four hours or eliminate ten enemy targets, we will pass this Year-End Assessment and apply to leave the battlefield."
At that moment, another voice in the sub-channel chimed in mockingly—it was the one known as Crack.
"Hey! Crack, could you be a little less selfish? You're in logistics and maintenance; you're as safe as can be. If you run away, won't that put us all in danger? I swear if you really dare to do that, Mechanical Lion will kick you out of the team!"
"Come on now, I was just joking. The honor of Mechanical Warrior cannot be tarnished. Unless the entire team retreats, I absolutely will not leave early. However, this Mr. Papaya here has a bit of trouble; an old friend of mine, Titan 1109, was heavily let down by him during a Monthly Assessment. Let's hope we don't have such bad luck this time."
Amidst the various discussions in the sub-channel, Lin Yuan completely tuned them out. Time was running short; he had to decide whether to trust Claire more or Carlo from Mechanical Lion's team—a level 15 Tactical Analyst. Naturally, he unconditionally trusted Claire because while he didn't know how high her Tactical Analysis could reach, it surely wouldn't be lacking.
However, figuring out how to gather fifty thousand reputation points was also quite a headache.
However, it didn't take long for Zhou Yue to come up with an idea. He directly took out the Thunder Sniper Rifle he had previously confiscated from Hurricane Thunder and threw it onto the public auction channel of the Pirate Alliance, setting the starting price at fifty thousand reputation points!
To be honest, if it were any other situation, he would never have done this to Lin Yuan. The quality of the Thunder Sniper Rifle was quite good, and it was a Blue Light Weapon. Even in the eyes of Elite Mechanical Warriors, it was definitely a rare gem.
But Lin Yuan understood better than anyone that he could not afford to die here. This Year-End Exam was not one where scoring zero could still be flaunted; it was a life-or-death test. Other Mechanical Warriors might have their families to revive them, but if Lin Yuan died, who would bring him back?
Even if someone could revive him, his two Ghost Titles would inevitably drop, and everything would have to start over. The cost of that was far more significant than a Thunder Sniper Rifle.
As expected, the appearance of the Thunder Sniper Rifle left all the Target Students at the Ninth Training Base stunned. Such a thing was unprecedented; no fool would sell a Killing Weapon at this time. Yet, for those Mechanical Warriors specialized in sniping, it was a deadly temptation. After all, Hurricane Thunder had relied on this Killing Weapon to take down over a hundred Target Students from the Ninth Training Base—who wouldn’t be tempted?
In no time, there were more than ten bidders. After all, there were many skilled individuals within the Pirate Alliance.
Before long, the bidding for the Thunder Sniper Rifle had already reached sixty thousand Pirate Alliance reputation points and was still climbing.
At that moment, Lin Yuan also received private messages from the leaders of the five major teams. After all, such a Blue Light Weapon could even be used at D1 level—who wouldn’t want to possess it? (To be continued...)
