Chapter 18 Mission Completed
Dmitry jumped out of the vehicle and gave Vorov a perfunctory salute: "Major, all the ammunition and medical supplies you requested are in the vehicle, not a single box missing."
"Great!" Vorov glanced at the carriage, his eyes lighting up, but then he noticed the blood-stained camouflage netting covering the first vehicle. "Oh, damn it, you're in trouble?"
"We were ambushed by the enemy's elite battalion. Seryozha was killed in action," Dmitry said through gritted teeth.
Wolf was silent for two seconds, then took a big gulp of vodka and sneered, "In this godforsaken place, a human life is worth less than a bullet. Just live one day at a time!"
He turned and yelled at those behind him, "Medic! Where are you?! Can't you see there are wounded here? Treat these lads!"
Two medics with blood on their hands rushed over and lifted the injured Peter off the vehicle. They then called Lu Ye over to treat the wound on his left arm.
The medical tents at the camp reeked of iodine and blood.
The military doctor roughly tore off the bandage on Lu Ye's arm, poured disinfectant on it, and Lu Ye gasped in pain.
Just then, a series of crisp system notification sounds suddenly rang in Lu Ye's mind.
[Mission Completed: Safely escort supplies to Camp 17]
[Task Rewards: 300 points, 1 attribute point, unlock attribute cap (current total attributes have reached 27; after unlocking, the cap for each attribute will increase to 20), 1 skill point.]
[Bonus mission completed: The team of 7 has safely arrived at their destination]
[Bonus Reward: 200 points, unlocks the "Quick Reload" passive skill (increases reload speed by 30%)]
[Host's points have reached a specific threshold (2000 points). The Points Mall (Beginner Level) is now open!]
"Damn it! This system is a piece of shit! It should have reminded me earlier that the points shop would open after accumulating 2000 points!" Lu Ye cursed inwardly. "Damn it, I thought I could only exchange for lifespan, what a waste of so many points!"
"Well, it's not a complete waste, considering we gained so many days of life in return."
While cursing, Lu Ye honestly brought up the system panel in his mind.
[Lifespan remaining: 15 days and 16 hours]
Current points: 2000
Without hesitation, he clicked on the "Points Mall" icon that was flashing with golden light.
A semi-transparent light screen unfolded before him, divided into three main categories: [Basic Skills], [Combat Skills], and [Tactical Supplies].
Lu Ye's gaze swept over them quickly.
[Basic Skills]:
Basic Tactical Movement: Master standard tactical movements such as crawling, rolling, and moving between cover, reducing the probability of being hit by approximately 15%; Required points: 300;
Basic Wilderness Survival: Mastering skills in foraging for food and water, building shelter, and navigation; essential for survival when alone; requires 300 points.
Basic First Aid Bandaging: Master battlefield first aid, hemostasis, fracture fixation, and wound treatment; able to treat injuries to yourself and teammates; requires 300 points.
Basic Firearms Maintenance: Master the quick disassembly, cleaning, and troubleshooting of various firearms to reduce the probability of jamming and extend the life of firearms; requires 200 points.
[Combat Skills]:
Basic Combat: Master the basic skills of military boxing, grappling, and knife fighting; Required points: 1000
Sniper Specialization: Improves understanding of all scoped weapons and corrects the perception of bullet drop. Required Points: 1500
Breathing Control (Passive): After extreme stress or strenuous exercise, it can instantly and forcibly calm the heart rate and reduce muzzle sway by 30% when aiming. Price: 800 points.
Low-light Vision (Passive): Enhances vision in dimly lit environments, significantly reducing the disadvantage in night battles. Required Points: 1000
[Tactical Supply]:
High-potency hemostatic gel (single-use consumable): Apply to the wound to forcefully stop bleeding within three seconds and accelerate scab formation. Required points: 200
Adrenaline (single-use consumable): Ignores all physical pain and fatigue for one hour. Side effect: Weakness for 24 hours after the effect wears off. Required points: 300
Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Lu Ye's heart pounded wildly, but a deep chill followed.
2000 points, if used entirely to exchange for lifespan, that's a full 20 days! Adding that to his original remaining 15 days, he can easily live for over a month!
But if he uses all his points to buy his life, with his current physical condition, can he survive the next enemy shelling on this battlefield? Can he dodge the next sniper bullet?
"100 points equals one day of life," Lu Ye thought bitterly. "The system is forcing me to exchange my life for strength, and then use that strength to fight desperately."
After a wry smile, Lu Ye began to consider things carefully. First of all, he decided to forget about combat skills, as he simply couldn't afford them.
That leaves only basic skills and combat supplies. And since points can be exchanged for lifespan at any time, there's no rush to do so. Therefore, some points must be reserved for emergencies.
After a moment's thought, Lu Ye chose to use 600 points to redeem tactical movement and weapon maintenance. Currently, his only option was to become a sniper, and snipers were also more likely to survive on the battlefield, as long as they weren't targeted by the enemy.
Therefore, these two items are the best choices. As for basic bandaging and wilderness survival, they are not needed for now. The two supply items are for healing, so you can exchange for them when needed.
[Basic Tactical Movement Exchange Successfully Completed (Cannot Be Upgraded)]
[Basic weapon maintenance successfully redeemed (cannot be upgraded)]
In an instant, Lu Ye's mind was filled with a lot of related knowledge, such as how to reduce the exposed area of the body when crawling forward, and how to use the waist to quickly roll to the side and change the body's coordinates when rolling at close range.
It also covers how to quickly disassemble firearms, familiarize yourself with their structure, perform deep cleaning, and troubleshooting.
Looking at the combat skill items in the shop, Lu Ye drooled. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and close the shop, turning his attention to the two attribute points and one skill point he had acquired.
Because of my previous high level of concentration, I accidentally unlocked the hidden attribute [Perception] and personally experienced its power. Moreover, this attribute is indeed suitable for my current development path.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye decided to add both attribute points to [Perception].
[The host is detected as preparing to improve their perception attribute. Considering the host's limited lifespan and points, it is necessary to inform the host in advance that for every point the perception attribute increases, the points required to exchange for lifespan will double.]
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was first stunned, and then burst into a tirade of curses.
"Fuck you, fuck! fuck! fuck! You're forcing me to die, fuck your ass!"
Lu Ye's mentality completely collapsed. He did not expect that if he raised [Perception] from 0 to 1, the points required to exchange for lifespan would increase to 200.
We're already dancing on a knife's edge; if we don't have enough points one day, we're done for.
He reserved some points to increase the margin for error, but now, the margin for error is even lower.
