The Adventurer’s Guild’s Black Heart

　　[Aldnoah Zero] is a work of the mecha genre.

　　The background is that humans discovered the technological heritage of ancient civilizations on Mars, then a pioneering doctor on Mars created an empire with black technology, and gradually there was friction with the forces of various countries on earth, then earth and Mars went to war.

　　As a member of the Earth Alliance, Kaizuka Inaho has repeatedly reversed the tides of war, one could even say that he has single-handedly controlled war situations.

　　He is a high student character with a very high IQ, quite a strong person.

　　"I see, quite a strong person..."

　　Misaki glanced at the young man next to her, and was slightly surprised.

　　This sentence made Ryota's face stiffen:

　　"Shokuhou, now that the verification is complete, can you stop reading my mind?"

　　"I see, it's just an act of the subconscious."

　　Misaki turned off her abilities very honestly.

　　She is not a voyeur, if there is no need, she will rarely invade other people's hearts to peek at secrets.

　　"Let's continue."

　　In a race against time, Ryota spoke very quickly:

　　"Do you have any points? We should buy some modern weapons at the mall so we can go through the adventure smoothly and minimize the dangers."

　　"I have 200 points." Reply Inaho.

　　Misaki followed closely behind: "I have 800 points, which means 1000 points. Do you mean we have to pay points first?"

　　"Don't worry, the one with a high return rate is absolutely not my empty-handed white wolf."

　　While predicting, Ryota said:

　　"As I said earlier, with the intelligence advantage, passing is not a problem. Even if we take the risk, we can earn a lot of points, at least three times the return rate."

　　"Um... Consume points first..."

　　Misaki fell into a brief moment of hesitation.

　　It seemed that points were very important to her.

　　About ten seconds passed, after weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind:

　　"At least three times the rate of return... If this is the case, I agree to donate my points first."

　　"Shiro-san, I need to know your specific plans first."

　　Inaho looked at Ryota with calm eyes.

　　"Plan... I sketched out a plan. But..."

　　Ryota met the boy's gaze and said:

　　"I think you are better suited for the layout. I will give you information and a plan for you to come up with a new plan."

　　"...Why is there such a judgment?"

　　Inaho looked confused.

　　"I know about you. You're really good at layouts. After all, you are much better than an ordinary person like me. As for what I know, the situation is the same with Shokuhou-san. I don't have time to explain now, let's talk about cooperation first."

　　Ryota turned his gaze to Misaki, pointed at Inaho, then said:

　　"Shokuhou, can you convey what I know to his brain? We don't have enough time, so it's too late to explain."

　　"Does not matter. Now repeat what you were going to tell him, thoroughly."

　　Misaki nodded, took out the remote control earlier, and pressed it on the both of them.

　　For her who could even alter memories, it wasn't difficult to convey the information in another person's mind to another person.

　　Immediately, Inaho's eyes flashed shock, and fell silent.

　　Ryota and Misaki waited in silence.

　　About two minutes later, Inaho moved.

　　He asked both of them:

　　"I analyzed the information and devised two plans."

　　"One of them is low risk, and its goal is only to complete the main Quest. The other is to take a lot of risks, the goal is to polish a lot of points."

　　"Personally, I would like to choose the latter, but the information is provided by you, and I will give priority to your choice. "

　　"Choose the latter!"

　　Ryota and Misaki answered almost simultaneously.

　　After the words fell, Ryota looked at the girl next to him in surprise.

　　He himself had to fight for his life, so he chose the latter.

　　Misaki... shouldn't be so desperate, right?

　　"Shiro-san, you're not the only one who needs a lot of points to get things done."

　　Misaki suddenly said:

　　"Me too, otherwise why would I choose to take part in the adventure?"

　　"You read my mind again?" Ryota's mouth twitched.

　　"No," Misaki smiled, "Didn't anyone tell you that you are the type of person who can't hide your thoughts, and everything you think is revealed on your face."

　　"..." Ryota believes it!

　　Before being transferred here, he had just repaired the relationship with Kei, how could he be as good as she said.

　　"If you don't believe it, forget it."

　　Misaki shook her head lightly.

...

　　After making their choice, the three immediately signed a "teammate agreement".

　　At the same time, the Quests on the bright screen change:

　　[Adventure World: Resident Evil 1]

　　[Main Quest: enter the hive, kill 30 zombies, then escape from the hive (for the part that kills more, 1 zombie/20 points)

　　[Quest reward: 6000 points]

　　[Quest failed: no reward, and no injury repair]

　　[Optional side Quest: kill the Licker, 1 Licker/200 points]

　　"There's only 3 minutes of preparation time left, let's hurry up."

　　Ryota looked at the light screen and reminded his two teammates loudly.

　　Inaho nodded, and started shopping for weapons.

　　In the world of Inaho, because of the interplanetary war, the "hyperspace gate teleportation device", the legacy of an ancient civilization found on the moon raged, which led to the "fall of the heavens"… That is, the event of the destruction of the moon.

　　A large number of fragments hit the earth, and the ensuing gravitational wave caused unprecedented disasters such as changes in the earth's crust, earthquakes, tsunamis and abnormal weather.

　　Number of deaths in "100 million".

　　Since then, most of the countries on the planet have entered the era of national war preparations. Schools have also included military training into the scope of teaching. There are even special military academies.

　　As a war orphan, Inaho naturally entered the military academy set up by the government. He had excellent grades in military training programs such as military target shooting and driving a Kataphrakt.

　　Ryota knew this, so he didn't play games in front of Inaho, and immediately handed over the purchase of weapons to the other party.

　　At the same time, he himself clicked on the mall to take a look.

　　Guild Mall is a trading platform for guild members.

　　To earn points, some members will upload lots of things that can be mass-produced, such as modern weapons.

　　It's just that in the process of buying and selling, the guild will take 30% of the handling fee, and even registering the product in the mall itself is considered an advertisement, and the guild will deduct the advertising fee...

　　This is really a black-hearted corporate model, and he doesn't know if anyone can really earn points in it.

　　"Buying props at the mall is not cost-effective at all! Only when you have to."

　　"On top of that, high-end properties are very expensive. While it's a great help for adventures, if I actually buy it, the reward after completing the adventure might not be as much as the cost of buying the property. What kind of gap is this?"

　　Ryota thought of the loophole mentioned in the adventure experience sharing post he saw before, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　Immediately, Inaho bought the gun.

　　Two Glock 19 pistols, one M4 rifle, and a number of clips, totaling about 1,000 rounds.

　　The rest are all C4 plastic bombs with detonators, 14 in total.

　　The 1000 points combined from the two were all spent.

　　By the way, there are two flash bombs.

　　This is for the Lickers, the noise generated by the flash bombs can make the Lickers ringing, making them "blind" who rely on their hearing to hunt.

　　Ryota silently prayed, don't get into a situation that requires the use of flash bombs!

　　"Shokuhou's physical fitness and athletic talent are very poor, so she doesn't have to hunt zombies alone, and is only responsible for controlling the Quest force sent by the Umbrella Corporation."

　　Hearing what Inaho said, Misaki couldn't help but blush.

　　During the discussion just now, it was a bit embarrassing for her to say that she was weak.

　　Inaho didn't care about her thoughts, handed the weapon to Ryota, and said:

　　"Shiro, let's get our act together. Considering your poor physical fitness and the need for comfort in our actions, I have only bought you a gun that is more suitable for beginners."

　　"Um, that's the best way."

　　Ryota took a Glock 19 and some magazines.

　　He was slightly excited when he touched the gun for the first time.

　　However, not long after this excitement kicks in, preparation time ushers in the final 10 seconds countdown.

　　When time returned to zero, the figures of the three disappeared into the gray-white space at the same time.
