3: Chapter 3: Drawing lots is fun for a while, and it's even more fun if you keep drawing!
"Continue the lucky draw!"
Shen Wang started it again without hesitation.
γ Ding! Consumed 10 military merit points to start a Bronze-tier lucky draw. γ
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Squad (full set of weapons). γ
γ Prizes include: 2 Zhongzheng rifles, 3 Hanyang 88 rifles, 4 'Old Sleeve' rifles, 5 broadswords, and 180 rounds of assorted ammunition. γ
Shen Wang's expression instantly fell.
This configuration was just the most basic Nationalist Army infantry squad, and a ragtag unit at that.
However, he reconsidered; exchanging 10 military merit points for nine guns and a batch of ammunition wasn't a bad deal.
After consuming 20 military merit points, Shen Wang looked at the First Kill reward.
A guaranteed ten-draw Bronze-tier pull!
"The main event is here. Open... it!"
γ Ding! Host has initiated a ten-draw Bronze-tier lucky draw. A guaranteed SSR is included! γ
As soon as the prompt ended, streams of information began to scroll rapidly before his eyes:
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained weapon: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Squad (full set of weapons). γ
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained weapon: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Squad (full set of weapons). γ
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained weapon: Type 44 German-style Infantry Squad (full set of weapons). γ
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained supplies: 20 crates of Border Region-made hand grenades. γ
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained supplies: 5,000 rounds of assorted ammunition. γ
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained supplies: 10 basic medical kits. γ
γ Prizes include: bandages, sulfonamide powder, hemostatic forceps, and morphine, capable of effectively treating non-lethal injuries. γ
Although no more "Composite Squads" appeared, the uniform World War II equipment and supplies, especially the medicine which was more precious than gold, made his heart burn with excitement.
These were enough to arm an elite platoon, with firepower that wouldn't lose to the Japanese Type A units!
"Only three draws left!" Shen Wang held his breath.
The pointer spun again, and this time, it stopped on a brand-new icon.
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained skill: Firearms Mastery. γ
A skill!
The system's lucky draw pool was divided into three major categories: weapons, supplies, and skills!
This time, Shen Wang had finally drawn a skill!
In an instant, as if enlightened, Shen Wang's mind was flooded with countless knowledge regarding the use of firearms.
From C96 pistols to Barretts, handguns, rifles, sniper rifles, shooting techniques, maintenance methods... everything was instantly mastered!
"Not bad, not bad!" Shen Wang was delighted.
Lucky draws are fun, but constant lucky draws are even better!
"Continue!" Before his voice had even faded, the next lucky draw followed immediately.
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained skill: Basic Infantry Command (Squad). γ
γ Basic Infantry Command: Can slightly improve the Host's battlefield situation judgment and command ability (Infantry/Squad). γ
"Haha, another skill!"
In an instant, another wave of enlightenment hit him.
Shen Wang's mind was filled with many strange poses... knowledge.
Crossfire arrangement, assault route selection, utilization of terrain for defense...
"Tsk tsk tsk... two skills in a row! The system is awesome!"
Say what you will, this system... is truly badass!
Shen Wang's anticipation for the final guaranteed reward was maxed out.
"The last draw, SSR!"
As soon as he spokeβthe turntable erupted with unprecedented light!
γ Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained skill: Battlefield Perception (Lv.1). γ
γ Battlefield Perception: Taking oneself as the center, displays a holographic map within a 100-meter radius. Displayed informationβTerrain contours: Simply displays surrounding fixed terrain such as hills, rivers, roads, buildings, etc. Friend-or-foe identificationβRed: Units with clear hostility toward the Host. Green: Units with clear goodwill toward the Host. Yellow: Neutral or unknown units. Special markers: Automatically highlights key items such as weapons, ammunition, supplies, etc., within range. γ
"Holy crap!"
Shen Wang jumped right off the sofa, covered in goosebumps from excitement.
"This... isn't this just a battlefield mini-map?"
Just like playing a real-time strategy game, he could overlook the entire battlefield from the air; the terrain and the situation of friends and foes were clear at a glance!
This skill was simply heaven-defying!
Shen Wang couldn't wait to activate the skill!
Humβin an instant, a three-dimensional, dynamic miniature map was projected directly into his consciousness!
With his rental apartment as the center, the structure of the entire residential complex, the streets, and even the layout of the neighbor's house were all laid bare!
At the same time, dense figures of yellow stick figures appeared.
It was just like having wallhacks enabled in a game.
Shen Wang's attention was instantly drawn to the two yellow light points in the landlord's wife's house next door, which were tightly overlapping and moving rhythmically.
"Wait... didn't Mr. Landlord go on a business trip last week?"
Shen Wang froze, then revealed a playful smile.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this skill... is really yellow!"
However, the only downside was that he could only see the silhouettes of the figures, unable to "deeply" observe specific details.
He could see through, but not completely through!
At this moment, Shen Wang noticed that besides the yellow figures, there were scattered light points of highlighted items on the map, with brief labels like γ Gold γ and γ Cash γ next to them.
The quantity was not small; all in all, it added up to about over a million.
"I didn't expect so many 'treasures' to be hidden around me."
For a moment, Shen Wang had the thought of "robbing the rich to help the poor," but immediately shook his head and laughed.
He had a system now, why would he do that? That was thinking too small!
Not to mention anything else, just the "Warrior Composite Squad" he drew; those weapons were worth at least over a million.
If taken to the black market, they might even sell for an astronomical price in the tens of millions.
Of course, the most profitable approach was undoubtedly to sell them to the Eighth Route Army!
That's right, Shen Wang planned to sell the weapons he drew to the Eighth Route Army; he couldn't use that many weapons by himself anyway.
"Oh right, system." Shen Wang thought of a key question.
"If I sell the weapons to others, can I still earn military merit points for the Japanese they kill?"
γ Yes, if the Host provides weapons to kill the enemy indirectly, you can obtain one-tenth of the military merit points. γ
"One-tenth?" Shen Wang raised an eyebrow; he could actually obtain 10% of the military merit points!
Honestly, this was already a lot.
The weapons he had obtained so far could arm an reinforced platoon.
The number of Japanese soldiers an reinforced platoon could kill would be at least ten times his own, right?
This meant he could completely take the "equipment supplier" route, and he only needed to sit in the rear to reap massive amounts of military merit points!
With a thought, Shen Wang closed the Battlefield Perception map.
Thus, the ten-draw Bronze-tier lucky draw was completely over.
In total, he had drawn 4 squad-level weapons, 3 military supplies, and 3 skills.
Especially the final SSR skill γ Battlefield Perception γ, it was simply heaven-defying!
"Open system panel."

"Next, it's time to go and meet those bastards..."
