Chapter 57 Dinner
At night, the Lemon family built a private bunker.

The meeting, which should have been a gathering of documents, was filled with dishes and flickering candlelight. Lambs raised in a nearby village were roasted whole, their skin crispy and oozing with bright oil. Cream of mushroom soup and vegetable salad did not look like anything that should be found at the front line. Only the sausage and mashed potatoes, which served as the staple food, were relatively restrained.

Jiang He finished most of the roasted lamb without feeling full at all. The nutrients were digested by the Garuda egg and fused with the blood energy, allowing the intermediate self-healing ability to operate at a high level.

Si Ning gulped down his lemon tea. The meal in front of him was sent by the middle-aged colonel in charge of military supplies. Perhaps it was out of guilt, or perhaps it was to comfort him, the specific reason was unknown.

"When players are matched for missions, they follow the principle of proximity to certain regions. For example, if you are a player from the northern part of Daxia, the chances of you meeting an employee from the northern region of the Order Bureau are quite high."

Jiang He wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, looked around and didn't find any water, so he simply took the whiskey on the table.

"So, the Death Cruise is your territory?"

Si Ning snapped his fingers. "Although it's not difficult, I guessed it right. You are the third player to board the Death Cruise in the past year. The security check when boarding is just a trick. It mainly depends on the computer system's comprehensive scan of the passengers' physical fitness."

Jiang He wondered, "Some people who excel in sports, even if they are not gamers, may not be inferior in physical fitness."

Si Ning smiled and did not answer.

Jiang He was speechless. He would never let go of the wrong person. The other party was definitely not destined to be a good person.

"Death cruises can satisfy passengers' greed for money, but they must be prepared to risk their lives. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to those who work hard."

Si Ning said something he himself didn't believe, and continued, "The Lemon Party I recommended to you is actually the most difficult game, because it is hosted by me and my 26 subordinates, specifically for guys with abnormal physical fitness. Of course, it's meaningless to say all this now. I want you to leave the Death Cruise and don't leave any of those black gems behind. In return, I will pay the price."

Jiang He asked: "What is the Death Cruise?"

A trumpet crow interrupted, "That's her army. Like my bird army, we are all preparing for the first World War. As for the detailed information of the World War, Origin Game has not yet disclosed it."

Si Ning was a little dissatisfied, "Information costs money."

The crow flapped its wings and said disdainfully, "Do you understand the value of being an exclusive intelligence agent? It's fine if you don't ask, but answering questions is a basic quality. Besides, you and your giant mosquito skeleton soldiers are already notorious. You even don't let go of the skeletons of the dead in the game. The Order Bureau should give you a dragon scale."

Si Ning laughed angrily: "At least 30% of the invitees were sold out as serious criminals. It's not like I didn't give them a way to survive."

"That's even more inhumane!"

Jiang He interrupted and said, "Your reward is greater than the mission reward. I will leave as soon as I return to reality."

Si Ning took a sip of lemon tea and negotiated, "Let's discuss this matter outside. The deal will only make sense if both of us are alive. My second main mission is to kill the Cheetah Knight. You should have obtained the Lionheart King's wristband."

Jiang He nodded, "First we need to find him."

"We can only confirm that the target has come to Leva City. He appeared around the dispatch desk in the east district twice, but he was too fast and my legion members couldn't catch him." Wuhe said.

"Then let's go over and take a look tomorrow morning. By the way, you and I both need to select assistants. This is a strict order from the higher-ups." Si Ning stood up from the table, stretched, and walked into the command room to rest.

Jiang He pondered, letting ordinary soldiers follow the knights would be doomed to death, but judging from his promotion to knight, the higher-ups might want to use this method to leave a "symbol of miracle" on the assistants to facilitate their future training, so as to make up for the deaths of knights caused by the war.

"Is there a secret treasure that can improve mental resistance?"

Wuhe answered without hesitation: "The statue of Joan of Arc in the Palace of Versailles is one of the nine finest secret treasures in the world, and it symbolizes freedom and resistance."

"What would happen if I snatched it away?"

"Then the French army will not attack the Somme, but you first."

Jiang He felt a slight headache, "What else?" The crow pecked at the cream of mushroom soup, "Let me do some statistics. There are more and more troops and knights sent by the warring parties. There must be one or two nobles holding the right secret treasures. I will tell you as soon as I get the result."

"Thank you." Jiang He took out three black gems.

"You're so polite, haha."

……

The next morning.

The three infantry divisions crossed the defense line on the west side of the Somme River and successfully arrived in the area of ​​​​the city of Leden. According to the orders from their superiors, they prepared to break up into small groups and enter the city in platoons to participate in street fighting.

In fact, new troops arrived every day, and the front line continued to send back wounded soldiers. The two field hospitals under the camp command were already full. In the case of extreme shortage of medicines, thousands of soldiers underwent amputation without anesthesia to prevent their wounds from getting infected.

In the morning light, Jiang He sorted out his equipment, put on his gun bag and walked out of the bunker. His promotion to knight enhanced his strength in all aspects, especially the advanced self-healing, which undoubtedly provided a great security guarantee. But it is worth noting that the basic pure green energy is not endless, but comes from most of the granary that was eaten, so finding new food sources is very important.

"Hey, there's a very strange guy here."

Si Ning looked back in surprise, her tone unclear. She gargled, then threw away the branch she was using as a toothbrush.

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

"Go to bed at 4 o'clock and get up at 6:30, not a second off. Are you a robot?"

Jiang He was too lazy to answer. He found a rock and sat cross-legged. As he activated the power of Ming Jin to make his whole body one, his acuity gradually climbed to the peak. The morning breeze stimulated his skin. According to the essence of "Arm Sutra", he reached the level where the morning breeze was as sharp as a knife, pouring water on the bones and washing the marrow. He was not far from An Jin.

In the previous derivative task, the great shaman beside Tieduo once used the black tiger soul attack to make him stiff. The violent tiger roar swept inside and outside, making the muscles of his whole body as stiff as wood. But since he did not die at that time, it was actually a good thing in the long run.

After the Ming Jin, the martial arts must go inside the body, penetrate into the internal organs and give rise to the An Jin. This step is very difficult and requires achieving the thundering sound of tigers and leopards before the muscles and bones can resonate together.

Jiang He carefully recalled the feeling of stiffness and imitated the roar of a tiger, circulating the blue and red blood in his body to destroy his body. The advanced self-healing quickly repaired the damage, but the severe pain left behind was the trace of the ideal state of dark energy, which required the warrior to "catch shadows" bit by bit.

"If I can take three more hits from the Black Tiger Soul, or be struck by lightning, I will be able to master the dark power."

Jiang He closed his eyes and felt the lingering corrosive pain. The more painful it was, the deeper the impression was.

After breakfast in the camp, the lieutenant who had been running around wildly yesterday barely returned to normal. He led the two young men to the private bunker and looked at the new Count Lemon with fear in his eyes.

"Count, these two are assistants selected by the colonel, Flig and David, both of whom are elites from the rear school."

Si Ning wrapped the bandages and joked, "They're arresting child soldiers so soon. I feel like the fight is more brutal than expected. I heard that 40,000 people were killed or wounded on the central front yesterday."

The lieutenant saluted and said, "But we have achieved a phased victory, and there are still a steady stream of private soldiers coming from the mainland."

Si Ning sneered. Compared to those big shots in the Platinum Palace, even if her death ship was expanded ten times in size, it would still be far behind.

"The guy who followed me was nicknamed Charles XIV."

Jiang He added, "Easy to remember."

Flig raised his hand enthusiastically. He was passionate about war. Only imperial power and glory could be passed down from generation to generation. His former assistants must have a legendary story.
