The Surprise Attack

The knife struck it and embedded itself, but it didn't break through the defense.

A Wind Blade retaliated, and the second person fell.

[Defeat heretical soldiers to earn 20 points]

The reward is here.

Joy appeared on his face, and he was about to turn his head to look at Ye Shan when he heard a shrill scream.

"Help."

Looking back, Ye Shan was found to have been grabbed by several soldiers and dragged away into the distance.

The screen went black.

Mission failed.

Several large characters appeared.

"It's over."

The boy's head was buzzing at that moment.

What happens if the mission fails?

I failed to protect Ye Shan.

[Given that this is your first mission, you are granted one chance to redeem yourself.]

Next, you will play as a soldier in the Lord's Army, tasked with rescuing Ye Shan.

[Please note that the Lord's Army soldiers possess superior physical attributes, but these attributes cannot be transferred to the real world.]

You may continue to use your own skills.

The screen lit up again, and he found himself lying on a grassy field.

When he got up, he found himself surrounded by corpses.

He touched his stomach; there was a sword wound. But perhaps due to good luck, the wound was protected by an iron plate hidden on his body. Only the cut part had a gash.

"This power is indeed much greater."

He quickly got up and looked shakily into the distance.

The minimap appears, marked with a green dot.

"I have to save her." The boy gritted his teeth and started running.

On the other side, Ye Shan sat calmly at the wooden table, swinging her alluring black-stockinged legs.

Several male soldiers removed their helmets and tore off their Human Skin Mask, revealing the girl's face.

That's right, the ones we encountered and fought at the beginning were indeed enemies, but those who captured Ye Shan later were all clones.

It was all just a self-directed and self-acted performance.

"He's coming to rescue me, but to see me from this location, I'd have to go through a room guarded by three soldiers. I don't know if that guy can break through."

The difficulty is neither too high nor too low. Theoretically, these skills can be performed relatively easily, but in that kind of combat situation, anyone is likely to make a mistake.

Ye Shan then used the Mystic Thread to observe quietly.

The other party has 30 minutes.

Unexpectedly, in less than 20 minutes, that guy mustered up his courage, challenged three tough male soldiers, and killed them one after another.

Of course, the price he paid was that he failed to protect himself with the earth elemental shield and was slashed in the back, sustaining some injuries.

Enduring the pain, she walked in and saw a green-haired girl with her hands wrapped around her knees, her eyes blurry with tears.

Her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.

"Are you alright? Did they hurt you?"

Ye Shan shook his head.

"Phew, come with me."

Please continue with the first task.

The notification has appeared.

There's still a chance.

He decisively grabbed Ye Shan and started running away.

The girl followed this time as well.

Oh my god, she's so beautiful and pitiful. I really want to comfort her and give her a hug.

Thinking this to himself, the boy did nothing.

It's not just that he lacks the courage; even if he could, his character would never allow him to do such a shameful thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly loved another girl for two and a half years.

She didn't give up until the other person started a relationship with another guy.

After another painful battle and suffering even more serious injuries, the mission was completed.

At the destination, Ye Shan smiled and waved to him, "Thank you, warrior, I will always remember you."

After he finished speaking, the screen disappeared, and the boy had returned to his dormitory.

Congratulations! You have received a reward of 1000 points.

[First mission reward: 5 Water of Purification]

Five bottles of medicine appeared before my eyes, and they showed their effects.

Chapter 138 Surprise Attack

"It's something that can heal injuries?"

He endured the pain, picked up the medicine bottle, and his eyes lit up.

This is hope.

Despite his injury, he has never felt so hopeful about the future.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, he opened the bottle and drank a little. Unexpectedly, the wound that had been hurting him so much instantly turned into a tingling and numb feeling.

"It really works!" he exclaimed excitedly.

The injury began to heal slowly.

According to the instructions, the dosage of this stuff depends on the specific injury, so he didn't gulp it down in one go, but drank it slowly until his injury was almost healed, and then he stopped.

"It seems... the suffering caused by Pollution has lessened a lot in the past two years."

My head, which had been feeling a bit dizzy and confused, became much clearer at that moment.

I have never been as clear-headed as I am now.

He was really excited.

"I have over 1000 points now, no, I've also killed so many enemies, so I have 1200 points in total."

He quickly opened the trading area, ready to exchange his goods.

"The requirements for the later levels are so high. One point of Life Energy costs 5 points, which can only be exchanged for a little over 200 points. It's not worth it."

Skills are definitely better.

"Huh?"

Master-level Swordsmanship (green): 1200

Ice Flying Disc (Green): 1200

He discovered that his points could be redeemed for one of two skills.

"It's a tough choice."

Master-level Swordsmanship (green)

[Note: This is the culmination of Master's lifelong learning. Mastering it grants unparalleled skill in wielding a sword and a multitude of combat techniques, resulting in a comprehensive boost to close-combat prowess.]

[Ice Flying Disc (Green)]

[Description: A magical skill that consumes mental energy. It condenses a solid ice disc around the user's body, which can be controlled by thought and used to attack enemies at any time. The hardness and power of the disc depend on the user's mental energy; this skill requires a certain level of mental strength.]

"As expected, the later skills should be more useful. It's a pity that my spirit is too low. Even if I exchange for them now, I basically can't unleash their power. I'll just stick with Master-level Swordsmanship."

Master-level Swordsmanship involves more than just the use of a sword; it also includes movement techniques and a range of other elements.

Moreover, this thing has no attribute requirements, and my own LV5 physical fitness is sufficient to handle it.

After the exchange, a large amount of knowledge was instantly absorbed into my mind, and my body quickly entered a proficient mode, as if I had been practicing for many years.

"In this way, my strength might be ranked in the middle among the D-level graduating class."

He was still downplaying the situation. After two years of study, the truly outstanding students in Class D might be promoted to Class C, or even better classes. Those who remained were truly the worst of the worst students.

Let alone mastering a whole host of skills like he does now, many people don't even have basic abilities.

After testing his abilities, he realized that he was now truly amazing.

They seemed to have learned all the skills of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops in an instant.

But when he calmed down, he couldn't help but recall the previous mission, and the green-haired beauty Ye Shan who smiled and waved goodbye to him at the end.

It's truly unforgettable.

Will I never see him again once it's in my heart?

"What exactly is this strange interface, and what is the source of its power?"

It's like a game, but since it can be brought into reality, it shouldn't have anything to do with games, right?

No matter what, he couldn't abandon this thing.

Or perhaps this is the only option that can change one's life. Even knowing that there might be dangers in the future, once you have it, how easy is it to give it up?

"This guy seems to be quite aware of his situation."

Ye Qian returned to the square, sat down, and watched the scene from afar, smiling with satisfaction.

Judging from his state of mind, you could tell that this guy was already looking forward to the next mission.

Especially after learning that the Water of Purification could relieve pain, another trace of fear in the battle disappeared.

If there's anything I'm still afraid of, it's that the mission itself might be life-threatening.

However... this is easy to solve.

Drop!

Do you accept?

If you decline, the next task will be posted one month later.

Sitting in the room, the boy, still caught up in his excitement and anticipation, found himself facing a new task.

He read the contents carefully and discovered that this thing was actually related to reality.
