Infinity Armament Chapter 26: Winged Serpent Martial Arts

Edited by: Cherry Blossom & Leo

Book 2, Chapter 26 – Winged Serpent Martial Arts

Different from the beginner’s mission, this time, Shen Yi didn’t directly go back to the city, but found himself in a void whites.p.a.ce.

In front of him flashed many scenes—all his performances in the fight were recorded.

From the beginning when he was on the aircraft when he encouraged everyone to follow him to the north, to the latter parts. Using the rocket launcher to destroy tanks and aircrafts, rescuing adventurers and soldiers, and organizing a defensive frontline. In the end, he bombed artillery positions, persuaded the Germans to cease attacking, and killing the German Major General. Scene after scene was reproduced. From the moment the Arnhem bridge scene appeared, in the bottom right corner of the screen, a small green number appeared as it began to irregularly change.

Shen Yi was very keen in finding that each time he killed a German soldier, the number would increase by 1, and each time he blew up a tank, the number would increase by 50. Saving a soldier, the number went up by 5, destroying an aircraft, the number was raised by 200. When he blew up dozens of artilleries, the number soared up by more than 2000 points, until the last. The killing of the German Major General, it stilled at 8850 point value. Then, the points automatically rose by more than 3000 points, eventually becoming 12,492 points. That should be the contribution of the 2nd Paratroopers Battalion.

The b.l.o.o.d.y Crest’s sounded: “You have received 12492 contribution points. The contribution value of the total contribution is 47.52%, the highest contribution for this task. The task’s survivors: 8 adventurers. The remaining 7 average contribution is 7.49%.

2nd Paratroopers Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Frost and Major Ralph survived. There are 156 surviving soldiers, Reward: 4120 BP. You are a.s.signed a 1957 BP reward.

Your contribution is 40% more than the other adventurers, so you will receive a Rank CC unique reward.”

Shen Yi couldn’t help but feel happy.

Although he already knew that his contribution for the completion of this task was high, but Shen Yi didn’t expect that he could even get a Rank CC reward.

In the b.l.o.o.d.y City reward system, a beginner’s mission generally only had Non-rank rewards, with only the 100% difficulty giving the opportunity for a Rank D reward. The five Difficulty Levels are D, C, B, A, S.

A Rank CC reward could be said to be a reward which only senior adventurers in the Common District could get, and a unique reward meant it couldn’t be bought by BP.

This time, it could be said that Shen Yi won the lottery. The action of sparing Fatty really was an important factor that helped him break through 40%. If Fatty died, then the average contribution of the other adventurers would’ve reached 8.74%, this was their real contribution. In this way, Shen Yi may only get a Rank C award. Although this was also a great reward, but after all, compared to a Rank CC, it’s still of a grade lower.

This attention to detail made Shen Yi’s first official task more fruitful.

“Are you sure you are getting the highest rewards now?”

“Confirm.”

“Please select the category of reward you want to receive: Equipment, Skill, Item, Psychic Power, Pract.i.tioner Course or Bloodline.

Shen Yi was momentarily shocked. The b.l.o.o.d.y City had many paths for enhancing, so for a moment, he didn’t know what to choose.

According to him, weapons and equipment must be skipped. The Flame Spirit Gun and Vampire Touch he had right now were enough for Difficulty Level I. Bloodline and Psychic Power, once owning, it was difficult to replace. So having it too early might not be a good thing, so he skipped them too. In his hands, there were a few unique items already, so no need to pursue those. At present, the shortcomings of his were close combat. Both in the beginner’s mission or official mission, battling with a small Boss existence, he had to fight very hard. Contradictorily, when facing a war, he fought at ease. From this point of view, he was strong in continuous combat capability, while being a bit weak in individual combat capability.

He couldn’t determine the next Mission World, but he also had to consider enhancing his ability to fight alone.

So in the end, is the choice Skill or Pract.i.tioner Course?

According to Hong Lang’s argument, after acquiring Pract.i.tioner Course, it must also be cultivated. Different from a Bloodline, which had a compatible property, so the adventurer usually could only have one Bloodline. For Pract.i.tioner Course, as long as there was no conflict, an adventurer could learn a variety of them. Therefore, the earlier one had a Pract.i.tioner Course, the better. As for skills, the BP reward in this mission should be enough to buy a skill.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi finally made a decision.

“Pract.i.tioner Course.”

“You have chosen Pract.i.tioner Course. You will get a random Rank CC special reward: Winged Serpent Martial Arts, requires 18000 BP to learn.”

Shen Yi was stunned.

He thought it would let him directly learn the Pract.i.tioner Course, he didn’t think it would only give him the book, and require BP to learn.

This almost made him crazy.

18000 BP! Where would he get that much BP to pay?

He realized that he had made a big mistake. A Pract.i.tioner Course and Bloodline in the b.l.o.o.d.y City was the most valuable enhancement. So, in addition to BP requirements, there were special items. The City gave a unique reward which couldn’t be bought in City shops or from the Mission World, so the value of the reward immediately increased. The result was a Pract.i.tioner Course book was replaced by the entire Rank CC reward.

Shen Yi didn’t know whether he should cry or laugh.

From the a.n.a.lysis of value, Shen Yi can be sure that this Winged Serpent Martial Arts must be worth more than an ordinary Rank CC Pract.i.tioner Course, even being more powerful than a Rank B was possible. But the problem was that he didn’t have enough money to learn it.

Shen Yi estimated that in this mission, the quests awarded a total 6200 BP, he had killed 60 tanks and 5 aircraft. He got 2000 BP, plus the 1957 BP from the team contribution award, for a total of 10157 BP. For learning the Winged Serpent Martial Arts, he lacked approximately 8000 BP.

Not to mention, about a month’s life of expense in the City, BP for enhancing, and reserving a part of the BP to get ready to deal with the needs of the next mission.

In his hands, there still were three submachine gun from gray chests, but it was just 900 BP…

With that calculation, this Winged Serpent Martial Arts was absolutely impossible to learn.

Sighing, Shen Yi could only shake his head in helplessness.

This feeling was like playing an RPG game, getting an Infinity+1 Sword, but because the level was not enough, one could only look. Excitement at the same time with great anxiety.

b.l.o.o.d.y City’s biggest problem was that there were a lot of things it didn’t tell you. You had to face it yourself, research, a.n.a.lyze, and discover. In the meantime, you would inevitably encounter some setbacks. Some rules may be useful to you, such as using Fatty to reduce the average contribution. Some rules may be a trick, such as seeming to be a valued reward, but in fact, one was only allowed to see but not use.

For the adventurers, quickly changing each point into their own fighting capacity was the thing they must do if they wanted to be able to survive longer in this world. Blindly pursuing potential, they may not pa.s.s the next quest.

Therefore, such as the Winged Serpent Martial Arts, which he couldn’t use immediately and convert it into fighting power, it was welcomed. But no one would take the initiative to pursue it.

But now with this problem, Shen Yi could only accept it.

The b.l.o.o.d.y Crest’s sound echoed:

“You completed all the quests in Operation Market Garden. Evaluation: Perfect. Mission completion rate: 80%.

“Your military rank has increased. Your current rank: First-cla.s.s private. Storage s.p.a.ce upgraded to 10 cubic meters.

“Because of your performance in the official mission, you will be eligible to select this world as your home world.

“The homeworld will only be rewarded to the adventurer in the formal mission who gets a Perfect Evaluation. You will have the right to access the home world and stay in the world for ten days, equivalent to one day in the b.l.o.o.d.y City. The home world’s progress will always remain in your experience after the changes in your home world, to establish a relationship. Allies and enemies will always exist when other adventurers come into your home world. You will be informed that you have the right to launch your own power to attack them without any punishment. Everything you get in the home world unless acquired through a quest, cannot be brought out of the home world. But the knowledge and power you acquired does not have a limit.

“When you are defeated by other adventurers, you will lose your home world. The winner has the right to arbitrarily deal with the home world.

“An adventurer can only have one home world at a time unless the adventurer is killed by invasion or automatically gives it up.”

Shen Yi didn’t think there would be such a thing.

In accordance with the b.l.o.o.d.y Crest’s prompt, the home world was equivalent to the adventurer’s own site. You could freely develop it, and even conquer and rule it, but also limit your own home world.

Now that the b.l.o.o.d.y City gave a choice, Shen Yi thought about it but finally gave it up.

Choosing a home world was like a picking wife. Unless they are taken away, they will follow you all your life. If the conditions permitted, trying to find a beautiful and affordable one was better. The World War II world was not only chaotic but also didn’t have potential. It was equivalent to an ugly women loving you at first sight, commendable but better to not accept.

Shen Yi had just eaten the choice of compensation on the last boring loss and didn’t want to make the same mistake in choosing a home world, so he didn’t hesitate to choose to give it up.

The picture faded until it disappeared.

When he could see again, the old priest appeared in front of Shen Yi. As he was about to cure Shen Yi, Shen Yi immediately shouted, “Don’t! I can cure myself!”

His mind now was full of BP, his only thought was to save as much as possible. Although the treatment of the old priest was cheaper than a potion… after all, it was still a paid service and not free as his healing skill was.

The old priest hand trembled a bit as was surprised to see Shen Yi. He then he waved his long sleeves and stepped into a virtual shadow to leave.

“Shen Yi!” A big cry came from a distance.

Looking up, he saw Hong Lang, Wen Rou, Jin Gang, and other six adventurers waiting for him over there.

“You all got out before me.” Shen Yi laughed.

“We would also like to ask you, why were you inside for so long? If it was not for the calculating contribution that let us know that a total of eight people lived, we really would have thought that you had died inside.” Wen Rou’s big eyes stared him.

Shen Yi smiled and roughly said a bit of what happened in the white s.p.a.ce.

“I guess that was the case.” Hong Lang muttered, “You kid, be honest. What was the highest reward?”

Shen Yi didn’t answer.

Probably, he also knew that this issue was too big, Hong Lang laughed but didn’t continue to pursue it.

In the b.l.o.o.d.y City world, there were not only Team Cooperation missions. With the arrangements of the City, today’s friends would perhaps become tomorrow’s enemies.

But for this situation, no one wanted to say it, and no one wanted to mention it.

Wen Rou stepped forward to transfer 310 BP to Shen Yi.

“What is this?” Shen Yi didn’t understand.

“Fatty’s share.” Shen Yi suddenly realized.

Perhaps because of the pain of being extorted, Fatty directly left. No wonder he didn’t see him.

Jin Gang patted Shen Yi ‘s shoulder, loudly saying, “We waited for you for a long time. Since we are back, let’s go for a drink.”
