The next day, as soon as he woke up, Ye Chen received a mission notification letter from the higher-ups. It was delivered by a young man. After handing it to Ye Chen, the young man left without saying anything.
Ye Chen flipped through the letter while eating breakfast.
The letter stated:
For this mission, we lost 98 soldiers, 4 team leaders, and 2 battalion commanders. A total of 31% completion rate was deducted. The total completion rate is 69%. The mission was successfully completed. We will be rewarded with 100,000 military merits!
PS: A team leader is equivalent to a 1% completion rate.
Ye Chen glanced at it and casually placed it on the table. He didn't pay much attention to it. He thought to himself, Although the letter didn't say anything and only briefly stated the loss of the mission, in the hearts of the higher-ups, it should have left an impression on me!
Ye Chen didn't care about the thoughts of these commanders and other higher-ups. His main purpose in joining the army was to obtain the God's Blood in Atlantis. The rest didn't matter.
"In the future, there should be fewer surveillance cameras around me. This way, it will be easier for me to operate my forces." Ye Chen's mouth curved into a smile. His eyes were filled with wisdom.
…
In a luxurious house.
A handsome young man threw the document in his hand on the table and sighed. There was a touch of disappointment in his eyes. "I thought this person was smart, but I didn't expect him to be a brute. What a pity …"
The young man in black with the code name "Yin" stood behind the young man and said coldly, "Those two battalion commanders probably didn't die in battle!"
This handsome young man was Hua Buluo. He nodded and said, "Of course, I know this. Yun So-kyung wanted to frame him, and he could only do so through those two battalion commanders. This person probably realized it and killed them in a fit of anger!
As a result, his 79% success rate dropped to 69%. I thought that his completion rate should be above 75%. I didn't expect … "
The young man in black said coldly, "If it were me, I would also kill first!"
Hua Buluo glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "You are different from him. You are only an assassin. You only need to learn how to kill. But this time, he is carrying out a mission!
Even though he knew that the completion rate would definitely change the higher-ups' view of him, he still recklessly killed these two people in anger. This showed that this person could not control his emotions very well!
If you want to kill these two Battalion Commanders, you can wait until the mission is announced, and then slowly find a chance to do it in secret. "
The black-clothed youth remained silent.
Hua Buluo sighed and said, "I originally thought that since this person was willing to endure in the military camp, his endurance must be extraordinary. I didn't expect that he was just a reckless person who enjoyed himself for a moment!
Unfortunately, I was planning to train him with all my might so that he could reach the general level as soon as possible. Then, he would become my right-hand man and help me conquer the base city. "
The black-clothed youth looked at him silently, not saying anything.
"Oh, right." Hua Buluo remembered something. "How's FrozenCloud recently?
Have you returned to the base city? "
The black-clothed youth shook his head and said, "You know her personality. I'm afraid she won't be back for a while."
Hua Buluo's eyes showed a trace of a bitter smile. He said, "Pay more attention to her. You must not lose any news of her."
The black-clothed youth nodded.
…
In a luxurious villa.
A handsome young man with long flowing hair, with a trace of evil in his eyes, played with the wine glass in his hand. There was a trace of a smile in his eyes. He said, "So it's just a reckless person. But you were able to detect that I sent these two Battalion Commanders to deliberately make you lose the completion rate of the mission. At least you have some brains. If you couldn't even see that, I wouldn't even be interested in making a move against you."
This young man was Yun So-kyung. His eyes were pure black, as if they could absorb people's gazes. "What you didn't know was that the first step of the two Battalion Commanders' plan was to sabotage your mission. The second step was to test your reaction after detecting their scheme and see how you would react!
If you could endure it, you would be somewhat capable. A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. You are an ambitious person! "
"However, you can't even endure this. Although it feels good to kill someone in a fit of anger, it only proves that you are an idiot!"
There was a trace of contempt in his eyes. He said casually, "Uncle Wu."
"Young master!" A middle-aged man in black walked in and said respectfully, "What can I do for you?"
"Send the Sanguine General to assassinate this guy. Humph, an ant. I'm not even interested in making a move against him."
Yun So-kyung said arrogantly. He was able to get to this position not only because of his strength, but also because of his brains. Otherwise, he would have been cheated and counted money for others.
Therefore, he would not personally make a move against Ye Chen just to show off his strength to Murong Xue.
In his eyes, Ye Chen was just a reckless person who had some intelligence but no patience. He was not a threat.
…
In other places, many of the major forces that had been paying attention to Ye Chen also had their own thoughts.
"He has some intelligence, but he lacks patience. He doesn't know how to think about the big picture."
"We can't have this person."
"It's a pity that we didn't manage to invite this person. I didn't expect him to be such an idiot. However, there is a benefit to recruiting someone like him. If there is any manual labor, he can do it."
Many forces called back the people who had been secretly observing Ye Chen. There was no need to waste time on an idiot.
…
In the following days, Ye Chen was quite idle. The higher-ups didn't give him any missions. He received some military merit missions every day. He also often took some dry food and ran to the wilderness in the wilderness. He hunted monsters in the deep mountains of Laolin to increase his strength. He would stay there for one or two days.
Three days later.
Ye Chen's military merit went from 300,000 to 450,000. He received 40,000 to 50,000 military merit points every day. This was a terrifying growth rate for a general. He still needed 650,000 military merit points before Ye Chen could apply to be promoted to a lieutenant general!
After becoming a lieutenant general, the missions he received would be more advanced. He would receive more military merit points and better benefits. He would receive 10 bottles of level 15 medicine every month!
One bottle of level 15 medicine was equivalent to 32 bottles of level 10 gene medicine. 10 bottles were equivalent to 320 bottles. This was 310 bottles more than what a major general received every month!
Other than the increase in military merit, Ye Chen's strength also increased a lot. He went from level 30 to around level 32. With the unlimited energy bullets and pistols, it was quite easy to kill monsters. As long as their Constitution was within level 50, he could easily kill them with one shot!
In the wilderness —
Among the trees, Ye Chen lay on the ground, motionless. His heartbeat and breathing were suppressed to an extremely slow level. If one didn't look carefully, he was no different from a dead person. His camouflage uniform was stained with a lot of mud. There were rotten leaves in front of his nose, giving off a foul smell. However, Ye Chen didn't seem to be affected at all.
Quiet!
He was completely like a block of wood. He was so quiet that one couldn't feel the warmth of his breath. Even if one placed one's hand on his chest, one couldn't feel his heartbeat.
In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't feel it. It was just that his heartbeat was suppressed to an extremely slow level.
Not far from where Ye Chen was lying in ambush, a four-meter-tall Three-Eyed Wolf with thick fur and robust limbs was currently gnawing on a rotting corpse. This was a Level 10 Dark Creature with a rotting body. It was unknown which monster had killed it, but the corpse had been discarded here, allowing the starving Three-Eyed Wolf to take advantage of it.
Three-eyed Wolf, Level 55 Vitality. It specialized in speed and had extremely sharp senses. The third eye on its forehead allowed it to see extremely far away. When it reached Level 200, it would awaken the talent in its body and possess "Energy". Its third eye would be able to shoot out powerful rays of light that were even more penetrative than a laser beam!
When humans reached level 100, their bodies would be strengthened to a limit. The potential in their bodies would explode, awakening their innate talents and producing "Energy."
Some monsters were born with strong constitutions. They would only awaken their innate talents when they reached level 700 or 800. The Blood-toothed Tiger was one such example.
This three-eyed wolf was the same. It would only awaken when it reached level 200.
According to normal evolution, most monsters would only awaken their innate talents after about a year. It had only been three months. There was still a long way to go.
Ye Chen didn't stare at the three-eyed wolf all the time. Otherwise, he would be easily detected. When one's Constitution reached a certain level, they would be able to sense someone looking at them from afar.
"I can only rely on the energy pistol. If I want to get close, I'll have to enter superhuman mode."
Ye Chen calculated silently. He was only level 30. He was considered the top among humans, but among the vast number of monsters, he was still a low-level existence.
However, humans were mainly proficient in technological weapons. That was why they were able to build base cities in the apocalyptic world where monsters were rampant. Even an ordinary person with the power of a single person could use a cannon to kill a level three or four monster.
Ye Chen was waiting for an opportunity.
This three-eyed wolf wasn't a dark creature. However, its constitution was much stronger than the corpse's, so it could eat its flesh raw. The virus in its flesh was only level 10, which was lower than the three-eyed wolf's flesh. It was digested immediately.
With Ye Chen's level 32 constitution, even if he ate a level 10 zombie monster, he wouldn't be affected. If he ate a level 40 zombie monster, he would immediately be infected by the virus and become a dark creature.
The higher the zombie's level, the higher the virus in its body. The lower the zombie's level, the lower the virus in its body.
The three-eyed wolf was biting the corpse's throat. Its claws were pressing on the corpse, and its teeth were tearing. Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. Without making a sound, he held the pistol in his hand and aimed it at the three-eyed wolf's forehead.
The black muzzle glowed with a gloomy light.
The three-eyed wolf seemed to have sensed something. It let go of its mouth and looked around.
…
I can't take it anymore. I originally planned to update four times, but the third time is already so late. I'll update the fourth time next time. I've exploded, but the recommendation votes didn't increase by much.
