Chapter 1 Official Fiancee
He Kui, an ordinary social animal in the rule of law society of the 21st century, never expected that one day he would become a member of the army of time travelers.
However, he traveled through Gundam SEED, where various classes were solidified and people's talents became commodities that could be bought and sold.
This leads to the fact that in addition to mutations, the richer people are, the stronger their talents are. The first generation of adjusters of the rich and the second generation born to the first generation of adjusters of the rich are even stronger. People like He Kui are the most ordinary. As a first generation adjuster, his parents, who are natural persons, were farming and reclaiming wasteland on Julius VII, and he joined the army because of the fierce competition for positions in the five major design bureaus and wanted to find a way out.
He Kui, whose reason for joining the army is so simple, of course has very simple abilities as well. There is no doubt that he will be beaten to a pulp by Kira as soon as he goes out. Of course, the premise is that he can survive the subsequent battles. After all, miscellaneous soldiers are the biggest consumables in Gundam.
He Kui came out of the simulation chamber and sighed deeply as he looked at his average grades in the class.
Of course, no one cared about this. He Kui, who was below average in everything, had no reason to be bullied. In simple terms, he was a transparent person.
"Not bad, you have improved compared to the mock exam. You will report to the ZAFT military headquarters in a week."
"Yes! Thank you."
Listening to the instructor's words of encouragement, He Kui saluted but smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although this instructor said so, he is just a cannon fodder.
He has made progress. Perhaps it is the effect of the fusion of the two souls plus his day and night practice in the past two years. His ability is slightly stronger than when he first entered the school two years ago. It is really only slightly. From the bottom of the class in the initial test, he has gradually moved up a few places. This is the result of squeezing out the talent in his genes.
In two years, he was transformed from a small soldier into a cannon vehicle, not even a super soldier. Without talent and system, he deeply realized the sorrow of the low-level soldiers. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Kira in the animation can fight back and forth with the elite team when he drives a Gundam for the first time. If the characters here were replaced by ordinary soldiers, they would all die without surprise.
As a soldier, he was lucky to meet Kira. If he was unlucky and met a hero unit like Mu who specialized in poking cockpits, he would probably not even have an intact corpse.
After putting away the transcript, He Kui returned to the dormitory alone without stopping.
The dormitory is for two people, with a bed above and a desk below. It is an ordinary room paved with steel and filled with a cold atmosphere.
Looking at the photo of a family of three on the table, He Kui sighed decadently. It was spring all year round in the colony, but according to the CE calendar, this year was January of the 70th year, and there was only a month left until Bloody Valentine's Day. This morning he had sent a message to his parents asking them to leave and take a temporary rest on Julius VI next door, and he also sent a sum of money sufficient for the two of them to use for three months. Calculating the time, the most ordinary communication should have been received soon. Although he didn't know if it would be this year, he could only be prepared.
This way at least they can be saved, but what next?
It's time to give up. After two years of traveling through time, he asked himself that he had tried his best, but his lack of talent was still despairing. His parents were natural persons and he was the adjuster born from their parents' bankruptcy. Although they lost everything, his strength after adjustment was not that strong. Without talent and connections, everything was in vain.
But even though he said he wanted to give up, he had no way to retire. As a militia organization, ZAFT did not have such strict regulations. But if he retired, his family would no longer have his support and his parents would be unemployed, so he would probably have to sleep on the streets.
It is like sleeping on the street in the physical sense. A small colonial satellite has to accommodate 500,000 people. The housing pressure can be imagined. The housing prices are ridiculously high. Living in high-tech pigeon cages is the life of normal people. Not everyone has the last name Klein. Life without any hope is suffocating. He even thought about the subsidy for his parents if they died in the war. His travel through time is not an ordinary one but a fusion with his original body. The feelings for his parents in his heart are no less than that.
He Kui didn't stop working while thinking about things. It was a semi-finished Haro, of course not for the princess. The workmanship was not as exquisite as Aslan's, and the materials were defective products bought at a low price from the branch of the Waste Chamber of Commerce. He just wanted to use the star effect to imitate the Haro that the pink princess liked and sell it for money. Anyway, Aslan was rich and didn't apply for a patent, and no one dared to snatch the patent of PLANT, which gave people a business opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. The cost of the Haro parts was 50, and it was sold for 150. The profit seemed very high, but considering that he could only make one a day, it was actually just that.
"How did the graduation exam go?"
The familiar voice interrupted the processing of the Hello micro-intelligent processors in He Kui's hands.
Ed Ryan, his roommate, had golden hair and a well-fitting military school uniform. His honest face looked sharp and energetic. He was a second-generation adjuster and his family was slightly better off than his.
"generally."
"I've already told you not to think too much. After all, people are like this. Under normal circumstances, our piloted Jinn won't have any problems facing two or three enemy Vanguards or Mobius."
"Well, this is the money I owed you."
He Kui nodded and took something similar to a QR code on the table and brought it to Ed.
He had already spent all his subsidy on sending money to his parents, so he had been asking Ed for help these past few days. Of course, Ed was very kind and lent him money.
"You're still here so soon?"
He scanned the code in front of him with the pure white bracelet on his wrist, and looked at the 1,000 technology coins he received curiously.
"Several Haro jumped onto the stage during the princess' concert before."
"Congratulations! No wonder you're making it again now. The ones you made a few days ago have already been sold out?"
"Sold out."
He Kui is not the only one selling Haro on the market, but because he has D-level operating technology, the Haro he makes is more sophisticated, and can speak some simple words and jump around. It is still very popular among the imitators. After all, if someone really has the technology to completely imitate it, he would not choose to make Haro, and would have joined the five major design bureaus long ago.
"Hey~ By the way, Shihe Hanifs was looking for you in the examination room just now."
"Why is she looking for me?"
Shihe Hanifs is still ranked in the top 20 in the driving department in the military academy. He will definitely be a red-shirted man in the future. What can he do if such an elite finds him?
"I don't know~ But after all, she is the future Red Dress, so bring her some gifts. Maybe she can take care of us in the future."
Not getting a satisfactory answer, He Kui looked at the Hello that had just been made in front of him, and suddenly felt that what Ed said seemed to make sense.
Not long after, after asking a few classmates passing by, He Kui walked along the winding green forest path in the back garden of the military academy and saw a quiet figure sitting in the Chinese pavilion in front.
Her skin was fair and tender, and the slim-fitting military school uniform made her intellectual face look more heroic, completely different from He Kui's slightly wrinkled clothes.
Of course, they had met before when they were in class together. He Kui didn't have much emotion when they met again except for sighing.
"Ms. Hanifs? You're looking for me?"
He Kui broke the silence in the pavilion with a soft voice.
"Yeah, He Kui."
Shihe looked at the boy in front of her and never thought that this classmate was actually her fiancé matched by AI genes. It just seemed that the other party didn't know about this yet.
"Have you checked your phone messages?"
"what's the message?"
As he spoke, He Kui had already turned on his cell phone.
[Dear Mr. He Kui, according to the current "Genetic Marriage Law Treaty" of PLANT, the screening of your fiancée has been preliminarily completed. Please go through the relevant confirmation procedures as soon as possible within fifteen days according to the follow-up instructions with Ms. Shihe Hanifs. If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact: 0000xxxxxx]
"."
He Kui was completely stunned when he saw the message on his phone. So he had a fiancée? And it was this Shihe Hanifs.
“That’s probably the situation.”
Looking at her fiancé in front of her, Shihe sighed softly. Although she had never thought that she could escape the eyes of the genetic marriage law, her mood was still very complicated when this thing really happened.
So she was going to have offspring with this man? Although he was handsome and hardworking, his talent was average, and there were only a few adjusters who were not handsome. He was also assigned to the frontline operations department.
After knowing the news, many people sympathized with her. As long as her fiancé died on the front line, she would become a widow. Of course, if she was lucky, she would be able to remarry through the "Genetic Marriage Law", but her identity would become embarrassing, and she didn't want children for the time being.
“I want to continue my research.”
Shihe said that although her driving ability was ranked in the top 20, her goal had always been research. She didn't need to think about which was more important, personal ability or weapons that affected the entire battle situation. So after graduation, she would participate in the research and development of miniaturized beam weapons led by the Hailan Design Bureau. With that weapon, they would be able to seize the initiative in the future expanded war.
"I understand."
He Kui instantly understood what Shihe meant, but he thought that his fiancée overestimated him too much. He couldn't afford to support her even if he wanted to.
As for letting Shihe raise the child alone, that is also impossible. Regarding the issue of couple support, the Genetic Marriage Law has already had a series of measures, including jointly bearing the cost of support and so on.
In other words, no matter how poor he is, he still has to give half of the money for raising the child, and the two of them file their own taxes. It can be said that although they are married, they are just together to have a child, and they live their own lives the rest of the time.
Hearing He Kui's reasonable words, Shihe also breathed a sigh of relief.
"He Kui, I saw your final exam results. You should have reached D level in micro-component assembly, right?"
It's probably just a little better than the inferior E-class, but that's all.
"Yes."
"So do you want to work at the Heilan Design Bureau?"
Heilan Design Bureau, one of the five major design bureaus of ZAFT, is mainly responsible for research and development by Xi Gu and Jin En.
"Of course I think so, okay?"
It sounds like the girl wants to help him get in through the back door. If it were when he just came through, He Kui might have refused, but the situation is different now.
They are all ZAFT's industries. As long as he can pass the assessment, he can leave the dangerous soldier and become an ordinary micro-operator, responsible for the polishing and manufacturing of fine equipment, which is high-tech screw driving, which AI cannot accomplish. His previous level of D-level, although barely reaching the internship standard of a micro-operator, is still a far cry from being hired. Without a backdoor, it is impossible for him to be admitted through normal channels.
"Although the chances are still slim, they are not impossible. You will take the test in three days. Remember to practice more."
With D-level abilities, it might be a bit of a stretch even with her little connection, but I can only give it a try.
"Thank you. This is a gift. Please don't reject it."
He Kui took out a pink Hello with the phone turned off from his bag. At this moment, He Kui was extremely glad that he listened to Ed and brought a Hello, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. However, this can be regarded as a "token of love", and this is what he gave.
However, if everything goes well this time, maybe he can escape the fate of death. Although he is relying on his fiancée, thinking that even if he has decided to accept his fate, He Kui's eyes still darkened.
"Is this Hello?"
Shihe looked at the small pink ball in her hand in surprise, but the ball had some bumps on it and the coloring was a bit uneven.
"Yeah, I made it myself."
"Thank you~"
Upon hearing this, Shihe smiled for the first time since they met.
[You gave Shihe Hanifs a gift, Micro Component Processing Experience +6]
[Shihe.Hannifs Favorability 45]
[Experience bonus 0]
[Micro-component processing level D: (506/500) can be promoted]
He Kui, who was just about to say a few polite words, was a little confused when he saw the words in front of him. He rubbed his eyes for a while before looking at the poem in front of him in disbelief.
"Ms. Hanifs, did you see anything?"
"What did you see?"
Poetry and looked around strangely.
"without"
Looking at the panel in front of him that didn't look like an illusion, He Kui couldn't help but get excited. He! After two years! He finally found his own golden finger! ?
