Chapter 100 Promotion
Second floor residential building.

Jiang He sat on the edge of the bed and estimated his limit. It would be undoubtedly too much to invest all the money on gem enhancement, especially when high-level enhancement required luck.

[Name: Energy Trait LV45]
[Category: Energy]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect: Additional 55% corrosion damage]
[Hint: You have consumed 1000 game coins]
[Tip: Energy trait LV45→LV55, additional 65% corrosion damage]
Jiang He put the armor-breaking gem into the equipment bar and then spent 100 game coins.

As the value of game coins decreases, a hazy white light covers the equipment bar.

After just a moment, the light faded away.

[Hint: Strengthening is successful, armor breaking gem +1, causing additional 6% armor breaking damage]
Jiang He followed the same method and strengthened it four times in a row.

[Hint: Strengthened successfully, armor breaking gem +5, causing 18% armor breaking damage]
The shape of the armor-breaking gem is oval and its color is emerald green. After five successful strengthenings, the color becomes more translucent.

During the sixth enhancement, Jiang He went out to the first floor and called Tommy who was still shaving with a razor blade.

“It was a flash of inspiration.”

"understood."

Tommy nodded, washed his face, and then activated the Wildebeest Rider's extraordinary ability.

"Now."

"OK."

The unusually concise communication ended, and Jiang He invested two hundred game coins to carry out the "probability of success" enhancement.

The white light transformed from the game coins covered the equipment bar, and a few seconds later, a loud bang was heard.

[Hint: Strengthening is successful...]
Jiang He took off his medal of the Sun Never Sets Knight and gave the inner shell to Tommy. In fact, this medal also gave him the title of "Sun Never Sets Knight" and increased the burning damage by 20 points.

Tommy took the inner shell of the medal. According to the rules of the nobles, this item, like the hunting medal, could be exchanged for a powerful position in the King's Shield. After returning to his homeland, someone would probably pay a high price to buy it. But for him, this opportunity to turn his family around could not be missed. By then, there might be some twists and turns.

Using his ability again, Tommy said, "Now."

Jiang He started the seventh strengthening.

[Hint: Strengthening is successful, armor breaking gem +7, causing an additional 24% armor breaking damage, special effect · Weakness breaking, the armor breaking effect is doubled when hitting the target's weak point]
Tommy once again activated his extraordinary ability, but this time after a while, he stroked his chin and said:

"It doesn't feel smooth and natural anymore. Your actions may succeed, but there's also a chance of failure. It's about 82 percent, after five seconds."

Jiang He chose to continue strengthening twice in a row.

[Hint: Strengthened successfully, armor breaking gem +9, causing 30% additional armor breaking damage...]
Tommy said: "The success rate of the next attempt is about 70%, and twelve seconds later is the best time."

Jiang He nodded. In the field of alchemy, time contains complex symbols that can affect luck. In the East, it is similar to divination based on the right time and place.

The tenth reinforcement.

[Tip: Enhancement failed, gem level remains unchanged]
[Game Coins: 16]
"Very good, I am as poor as a jingle."

Jiang He secretly complained that all the game coins were converted into combat resources. As for this gem, he planned to install it on the Changhen Spear. Although the effect of inlaying the Scarlet Baptism was more intuitive, in the long run, the rare sniper rifle was ultimately excessive equipment. The silver-white spear was taken out of the item bag, and the emerald gem was close to the end of the spear body. The inlay fusion was completed in just a few breaths.

Jiang He stuffed most of the props into his belongings bag, leaving behind the black-back trousers and regretful military boots he was wearing, as well as the cold-toothed bayonet tied to the side of his thigh, and the monocle used for camouflage. The white shirt he was wearing now was just an ordinary military uniform issued by the logistics department, and its style was slightly loose.

Tommy reapplied foam on his face and prepared to continue shaving when a large crow flew in from the window and landed directly on someone's shoulder.

"Boss, I heard that you can produce bullets and potions independently. The alchemist in the city is free, so I made an appointment with him to meet in the afternoon." Wuhe said.

Jiang He took out a ration biscuit from his pocket and raised his hand to feed the other person.

"Is there an alchemist who is good at transforming combat?"

Wuhe pecked at the biscuits and swallowed them, saying helplessly, "Boss, if it was before the hunting mission was completed, I could give you an answer immediately, but with the death of the Grey Knight, my authority bonus is temporarily gone. When an intelligence officer is performing a hunting mission, the single intelligence capability can be improved by 300%. Now I can only monitor the scope of a city at most."

Wuhe sent several skill materials through exclusive channels. Clairvoyance, projection imaging, sensory concentration, bird command, item identification, etc. together constitute his intelligence capability system. Among them, clairvoyance is the core excellent ability, which is composed of hundred-mile vision, stop and look far away, and eagle vision. Being able to become an authorized player and intelligence officer means that he is extremely outstanding in this ability.

In addition, Wuhe invested all other resources into mobility so that he could escape when he encountered danger.

"That's impressive too." Jiang He praised generously.

The crowd responded with two cackling sounds.

Tommy turned around and said, "Be careful when you go out. Prussia suffered a setback in the battle of Lieden. The quartermaster colonel sent someone to warn us this morning that the enemy may launch an air force counterattack."

……

In the afternoon, an infantry regiment passed through the city. The atmosphere in the team was lively. Most of them were young people who had just received military uniforms and rifles. Countless eyes were watching them go away from the buildings on both sides. A complete infantry regiment arrived at the Somme battlefield. If it encountered a high-intensity day, it could be wiped out in half a day.

To this day, the people of Amiens no longer have any hope that the war will end before Christmas. There have been real battlefield reports in the newspapers. Young soldiers who were privates in the morning became company sergeants at noon, and captains in the afternoon. After nightfall, the bodies were cremated on the spot and sent back to their homeland. The military uniforms were collected and waited for the next successor, as if a special assembly line-style handover was underway.

Jiang He was walking on the street, wearing the conspicuous Medal of the Knight of the Hunt and the Medal of the Knight of the Sun Never Sets on his left chest. The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the checkpoints along the way saluted him when they saw him.

A transport vehicle stopped, and the gray-eyed young sergeant in the driver's seat bowed and saluted, then asked:
"Sir, do you need a ride?"

"Thank you, please take me to the south of the city."

Jiang He sat in the passenger seat.

Facing the major, the young sergeant did not show any embarrassment. In fact, there was no need to be. In the Somme, anyone could be dead tomorrow.

While driving, the young sergeant took out his cigarette pack, put a Somme cigarette in his mouth and lit it. He could do it with one hand using the matchbox rationed by the military.

"You must be the sniper hero Rhine, right? I've read a report before that you were awarded the title of Monochrome Knight. This has been my dream since I was a child."

"Ah."

Jiang He quietly looked at the receding building wreckage outside the window. The road was a bit bumpy. He was not very good at chatting. When he was not in school, he would either go up the mountain to hunt or go out to sea to fish. Occasionally, he would fill in the numbers for gang fights on the island and earn some extra fees. He did not need to communicate too much with others.
