Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Therefore, although he failed to figure out Otto's true purpose, Gwen was not discouraged. Instead, he devoted himself to study and training with greater enthusiasm.

A bad chess player has the awareness of being a bad chess player. If I can't play chess well, won't I smash the chessboard?

It’s not unworthy for him to be called the chess master of the Han Dynasty.

With such awareness and hard work, Gwen, who used cheats on one hand and technology on the other, naturally made rapid progress, like a rising star, attracting everyone's attention.

At the end of 2012, during the Valkyrie selection assessment, Gwyn officially became a C-level Destiny Knight.

After many years, a male figure appeared again in the battle sequence of Tianming.

In the summer of 2013, Gwyn, who had completed many tasks with the team in half a year and performed outstandingly, successfully passed the B-level assessment and was promoted to a B-level knight.

While at B-rank, although they still don't have the ability to stand alone, they are considered the backbone of the Destiny Valkyrie Corps. In addition to fighting individually on the battlefield, they also need to be able to command a group of C-ranks to fight.

Although there are strong people in this world whose only value as teammates is to help out and clean up the battlefield, there are only a few such people from ancient times to the present.

The vast majority of the remaining people, if they want to contribute their own strength in the battle against Honkai, still need to rely on the cooperation of the group and exert the power of the collective.

The tide of collapsed beasts and the group of dead soldiers are no joke.

Moreover, even those few people still need the cooperation and help of their teammates before they grow up.

Although Gwen believed that he could one day become a strong man like Kevin, or even surpass him, he did not deny the power of the collective.

If we deny objective laws just because of our own particularity, that would be too narrow-minded.

Of course, while not denying it, Ge Wen did not do anything to cut his feet to fit the shoes. In order to cooperate with the team, he changed his own development direction.

While acknowledging universal facts, we also need to acknowledge the existence of special cases.

Therefore, Gwen, who had excellent grades in all aspects during the C-level evaluation, did not receive a perfect score in the B-level evaluation.

Rather than racking his brains to integrate himself into a team whose level is quite different from his own, Gwyn prefers to let the rest of the team serve as his assistants and develop tactics with himself as the core.

This is certainly the most suitable choice for Gwyn, but it is ultimately inconsistent with the training ideas of Class B.

Although an archbishop who made the rating was pleased that Gwyn was able to make the appropriate choice based on his own situation, he still lowered the evaluation in order to avoid Gwyn from acting like some Kaslanas in history and making a "sacrifice myself to save the army" scene.

In addition, Gwyn's fierce fighting style of always rushing to the front line on the battlefield also aroused the girl's dissatisfaction -

"Gwen, I know you are very confident in your own strength, but this is really dangerous!"

Anna said loudly, her hands on her hips.

This was a city in southern Europe that had just collapsed. Two people who were only B-rank led their respective teams to provide support.

The battle was basically over at this time. The two men who had fought almost the entire battle led their teams back to their camps and found that they were assigned to the same camp.

Anna, who was frightened because she had just seen Gwyn rushing towards the group of Honkai beasts, naturally couldn't help but preach.

Just looking at Gwen who was smiling at him, the little worry in his heart turned into dissatisfaction and disappeared in an instant. He could only persuade him earnestly.

"You are still only a B-level player and need to rely more on the team's strength.

It won't be too late to do this after you've been promoted to A-rank or S-rank, when your strength has improved and you've been equipped with better armor!"

More than a year passed, and Gwen's height grew rapidly. Anna originally had to lower her head to look at him. The boy who looked like a little boy had grown into a young man who was several inches taller than Anna. The strong lines on his handsome face revealed the signs of long-term training.

Anna's expression of lecturing Gwyn with her head tilted upwards also attracted the attention of the C-rank Valkyries who were relaxing together not far away.

“Wow, is Team Leader Anna such a nagging person?

I don’t usually feel that way…”

Ino from Anna's team listened to his team leader's nagging and couldn't help but whispered to his comrades around him.

"Hey, you don't know this, right?

It is said that Team Leader Anna was Team Leader Gwen’s former instructor, so of course they have a good relationship…”

The red-haired Martha beside him heard this and responded with a low laugh.

"emotion?"

Aino blinked, accurately grasping the key points of his comrade's words, and his expression was very interesting -

"Isn't it?

Are those things circulating in the community true?"

"hey-hey……

I didn’t say that, I just heard Yalvette from Team Leader Gwen’s group mention it…”

Martha smiled politely and sold the gray-haired Valkyrie not far away...

"Well...don't worry, Anna. When have you ever seen me being so stubborn?"

Gwyn, who was the focus of his subordinates' discussion, just smiled at the angry chestnut-haired girl in front of him and said,

"Besides, it's precisely to quickly advance to A-rank, equip myself with better equipment, and play a greater role on the battlefield that I must bravely lead the charge in battle..."

"Eh?

Are you ready for the A-level assessment?"

When Anna heard Gwyn's words, she was stunned immediately, her eyes widened slightly, her mouth slightly opened, and a silly expression appeared on her little face, which still had a bit of the smoke left over from the battlefield.

In addition to passing the assessment requirements, the promotion of the Destiny Valkyrie also requires the assessee to kill a certain number of enemies on the battlefield to avoid a recurrence of past events.

For most people, this is not a problem. After all, the strength improvement required for promotion is not small, and often in the end it comes down to waiting for strength improvement.

But for Gwyn, what he lacked was military merit, which would take time to accumulate.

Although they often met and even had dinner together, they would share their progress with each other, but Gwen had no intention of showing off and would not specifically say that his strength was already good enough to be promoted to A-level.

So, when Anna heard that Gwyn was already preparing for the battle records required for promotion to A-level, she couldn't help but be surprised.

However, despite being surprised, Anna did not find it difficult to accept——

As one of the people closest to Gwyn, Anna certainly knows Gwyn's "talent" and hard work very well.

With both talent and hard work, progress is of course a matter of course.

Chapter 46 Who else would you rather me?

Of course, she could accept it, but Anna's surprise didn't diminish much.

"Gwen, I remember...

It hasn't been long since you were promoted to B-rank, right?"

Pursing her dry lips, Anna slowly opened her mouth and asked carefully.

Looking at the young man in front of her who was a few inches taller than herself, Anna suddenly felt dazed, as if the scene of herself teaching that frail child little by little last year was still fresh in her mind.

In a trance, Anna seemed to hear the joke she had played with Rita...

"Um……"

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose face still bore traces of gunpowder, and whose expression was as cautious as a small animal tentatively extending its claws toward a terrifying upright ape, Gwen couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his hand, slightly bent his index finger, and rubbed the girl's nose, which was stained with black ash.

"With Instructor Anna's guidance, isn't this natural for me?"

"Make fun of me again!"

Hearing Gwen's words, Anna rolled her eyes and slapped Gwen's mischievous hand away, but a sweet feeling unconsciously surged in her heart.

"uh-huh?"

Faced with the girl's shyness, Gwen smiled without saying a word. He just put his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened and admired the girl's pretty face.

Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, the "stock speculation army" watching became more and more enthusiastic -

Excluding their Valkyrie identities, these girls are only high school students, which is the age when they are interested in matters between men and women and emotions. Add to that the pressure of daily training and fighting, and they are naturally more interested in such gossip topics.

As these topics unfolded, the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the big tent began to relax.

Gwen didn't say anything about this, but just continued chatting with Anna.

After an emergency assembly and setting off to fight here for almost the entire game, even Gwyn and Anna, veteran B-level players, felt tired, let alone these girls who were only C-level?

Rather than sitting there tense and silent, it would be nice to have a topic to help them relax after the intense battle.

As for whether these topics are too shameful...

Gwen often heard these topics at headquarters and was used to them. Moreover, their discussions were very measured and did not overstep the boundaries, so Gwen naturally did not say anything.

However, Anna, listening to the increasingly loud "whispering discussions" around her, couldn't help but blush again. She pulled Gwen's body to hide away, avoiding the gaze of the team members.

Gwyn did not try to tease the girl's shame anymore, but just chatted with her in a low voice.

However, in this gradually relaxing atmosphere, Yvette, who had become the topic leader, suddenly changed her expression, her aura suddenly became serious, and she quickly stood up and ran to the instrument nearby.

Seeing Alvette's actions, the relaxed atmosphere in the tent suddenly tightened, and everyone's eyes were focused on this gray-haired girl who was extremely well-informed about all kinds of gossip.

But Alvette was working in front of the computer with a serious expression on her face, and her expression became visibly ugly.

However, even though her heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably, Alvette still looked up at Gwyn:

"Team Leader, the K3 region in the northwest has seen an abnormal increase in Houkai energy. After comparing it to the database, we speculate that a new Houkai beast may have been born, and there's a chance it's a high-ranking Houkai beast."

A higher-level Honkai beast?

Upon hearing this term, the girls in the tent, whose rosy complexions had just turned pale,

The higher-level Honkai beasts, including the Emperor-level and the Judgment-level Honkai beasts that were recorded as having only appeared in the Second Honkai Beast, are far more powerful and threatening than ordinary Honkai beasts. It takes multiple A-level beasts to fight together in a fully prepared manner in order to win the battle.

Although there is no Herrscher now, the upper-level Honkai beast is almost certainly an Emperor level.

But whether it is the Emperor level or the Judgement level, it is undoubtedly a disaster for their team, whose highest level is only B level and who has just finished a battle and is resting.

"Alvette, immediately synchronize the message to the command center and headquarters."

Hearing Alvette's words, Gwen's heart tightened, but he knew that he must not panic. Before the panic spread, Gwen spoke in a deep voice,

"Everyone, pack your bags immediately and wait for orders."

The man's steady voice echoed in the tent, silencing everyone's panic. As if they had found their backbone, they responded in unison and quickly took action.

"Anna, the signal source is closest to us, but we are quite far from the command center and may not receive support in time.

If a high-ranking Honkai beast does attack, then the command of the team will be handed over to you."

Seeing that the team's morale had stabilized, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Anna, who was also pale beside him, and said in a deep voice.

"what are you up to?"

The scene of Gwyn rushing towards the herd of Honkai beasts instantly came to Anna's mind, and she almost subconsciously asked, her small hands tightly grabbing Gwyn's shoulders, as if she was afraid that Gwyn would fly away from her, her beautiful pink eyes full of worry and fear.

"If an Emperor-level warrior really appears, we will definitely not be their opponent."

Meeting Anna's eyes, Gwen felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he still said in a deep voice,

"If we want to hold on until support arrives, we must use all our strength.

Your commanding ability is much better than mine, so I will give the command of the team to you..."

Feeling the strength coming from the hands that were grasping his shoulders, Gwen looked into those trembling pink eyes and said in a serious tone,

"As for me...

To contain an Emperor-class, we must have a dominant position with our current strength, and that position can only be me."

"Can……"

Anna's mind was in a mess and she subconsciously wanted to say something, but looking at Gwen's serious face, Anna finally forced herself to calm down, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth and nodded vigorously -

"Yes!"

At this moment, Yalvette, who was in contact with the headquarters, stepped forward and stood before Gwyn:

"Team leader!

Command center orders the third and seventh teams to immediately evacuate the camp and move closer to the headquarters to prepare to engage the powerful enemy."
