Chapter 48: 048 Asking someone to come over
Bai E kept his mission in mind.
"Okay..."
Nurse An Lun nodded blankly.
Having gotten past the initial surprise, there was no need to rush now.
Soldiers, after all, always have to follow the arrangements of their superiors.
As long as he communicated with those at the top, the value comparison between a top-tier medical system talent and an ordinary cannon-fodder soldier was understood by those who understood it.
Under the gaze of a group of enthralled female fans behind him, Bai E casually completed the mission that was triggered this time.
[Side Mission — Replace Bandages, Completed.]
[Mission Reward: 100 Universal Experience Points, Advanced Bandaging Knowledge — First Aid has been distributed.]
With more than ten minutes left on the countdown, he had plenty of time to spare.
"Clap clap clap~"
"Very good!"
An Lun was the first to lead the applause, and a smile spread across his usually solemn face.
Battalion 358, 95B27.
There\'s no escaping it...
Bai E was also smiling; never had a mission been as simple as this one, freeload an advanced knowledge and 100 points of universal experience.
Made a killing...
[Received feedback from the commission, Bandaging Experience +3.]
["Knowledge – Bandaging" level has reached its limit and cannot be improved further; to continue improving, subsequent advanced knowledge is required.]
Huh?
Bai E\'s expression stiffened slightly.
A slight loss...
...
[You have completed a bandaging, accelerating the healing of the target wound, Bandaging Experience +3.]
[Current Bandaging Experience 50/100, at 100 points you can master "Level 1 Bandaging".]
["Knowledge – Bandaging" progress has reached its limit and cannot be improved further; to continue improving, full subsequent knowledge is required.]
"Huh?"
The smile at the corner of Gong Yan\'s lips suddenly paused.
Looking at her, Kuang Xin asked with concern, "What\'s wrong?"
Gong Yan shook her head, "I\'ve hit the ceiling of proficiency in bandaging; I need specialized knowledge to further improve it."
Kuang Xin scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, "My woodcutting didn\'t say it needed knowledge though..."
He had already acquired Level 1 Woodcutting Knowledge.
"It\'s a matter of the level of specialization."
Pu Jie had been watching his goddess the entire time; hearing their conversation, he was the first to jump in and show off his knowledge.
"Knowledge varies in specialization too; that\'s a hidden condition. Some knowledge is low in specialization, and anyone who is willing to practice it can eventually master it given enough time, like coarse tasks such as woodcutting.
Then there\'s the high-specialization knowledge where it\'s difficult to level up without the in-game specialized knowledge passing the tests, such as bandaging and pharmaceutics."
"Oh~"
Gong Yan nodded, looking somewhat puzzled and uncertain.
"Stop chatting, it\'s time to get to work..." Dai Lian felt a bit helpless from a distance.
Are these two stupid? Even doing rough work, they still manage to injure themselves? Giving this game away for free to these people is a big loss.
"Here we go!"
Kuang Xin shook his arms, feeling the bandaged wound had no impact on his movement.
Indeed, players didn\'t feel pain from injuries, but untreated wounds would cause continuous bleeding or even bacterial and viral infections that could accelerate death, so proper bandaging was necessary.
"Hurry up and get the traps set. Kuang Xin, you can start looking for the target soon."
With the experience from before, everyone worked more efficiently this time, especially with one more helper.
"Roger that!"
Kuang Xin was full of enthusiasm.
With the free-for-all battle approaching, he wondered how powerful the effects of his newly acquired trait would be in actual combat, and he was somewhat excited...
Before long, hidden among the trees, Dai Lian\'s ears twitched, picking up the gradually approaching sound of a stampede of beasts.
Who knows how many that guy Kuang Xin has brought this time!
With a clench of his silver teeth, he let out a low growl, "Prepare for battle!"
"Oh yeah~"
This was Pu Jie\'s first time experiencing a combat scene like this, and his heart was pounding.
The dense foliage obscured their vision, but judging by the noise, there were quite a few beasts.
Is this how they hunt? Geez!
Getting closer… even closer…
The low growls emitting from the beasts\' throats seemed like a harbinger of death, their black fur glistening under the slanting sun with a metallic sheen.
"Gulp!"
Pu Jie swallowed reflexively.
The shock of seeing these ferocious beasts charging toward him was incomparable to any experience he had ever had.
For a moment, his mind went blank…
"Grip your gun tight, prepare to fight!"
Dai Lian\'s voice reminded him from not far away.
"Oh yeah!"
Damn if the realism of this game wasn\'t done too well!
Pu Jie gripped his handgun tightly, his palms sweaty.
"Axe, here!"
Kuang Xin, who had been through this once before, was even wilder, his new trait making him particularly emboldened.
He lured the wild wolves halfway, then grabbed the new axe he had prepared by the side of the road.
An axe in one hand, a gun in the other, he was like a god descending amongst mortals!
"Kill!"

After leaving the infirmary and undergoing physical training, Bai E felt a sudden surge of strength within him, his expression stiffened, and he contemplated slacking off.
His body, which had just started to feel somewhat fatigued, was now revitalized with new vigor.
The players were working hard, which was good.
But... he was moving further and further along the path of training.
Looking back, he saw many comrades struggling far behind him.
The significant improvement in physical fitness wasn\'t just about having more stamina in reserve, now even without trying to speed up, his pace was much faster than other recruits.
Not to mention, his true talent was "Fast Recovery," which was proving to be exceptionally effective.
It was that darned choice again - without pushing to the limit, he wouldn\'t gain the slightest improvement, but by pushing to the limit... others couldn\'t keep up.
The others, too, were striving, but the gap only widened.
Possible odd glances in the barracks loomed like a ticking time bomb. No one mentioned it yet, but it was always on Bai E\'s mind.
"Um... Bai E."
Wood approached him; after hanging around for two days, he had learned the name Bai E had chosen for himself.
"Finally, you ask."
Bai E sighed inwardly, deciding to be upfront and pulled out an excuse he had prepared in advance, "Rule No. 3."
"Rule No. 3?"
Wood was taken aback, "What\'s Rule No. 3?"
"?"
Wood waved his hand, "I\'m not asking about your stamina; everyone knows about the Sniper God awarding you Rule No. 3. It\'s about Nurse An Lun..."
"Nurse An Lun?"
"Yeah... did you ever go to her for training? She\'s now asking for people, and I wanted to see what you think?"
