Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 9 The Use of Merit Points! Chu Feng: "Brilliant, brilliant!"

"Um?"

Looking at the skill description provided by the system, Chu Feng frowned slightly: "System, are you sure you're not mistaken? 100% hit rate within 400 meters?"

"Is this definitely master-level? Or not an advanced skill?"

"Between the master level and the god level, there's only the grandmaster level."

"Even a master-level player can achieve 100% accuracy across the entire range, while a grandmaster-level player can't even reach that at the normal range. That's incredibly weak."

"Do you have some misunderstanding about what a master-level artist is?"

In response to Chu Feng's question, the system did not offer a lengthy explanation, but simply stated: "An excellent marksman is not defined by a flash of brilliance, but by consistently high accuracy."

"A master is not a god; he is simply someone who can turn a flash of inspiration from an ordinary person into a routine operation."

After the system's explanation, Chu Feng fell silent for a moment.

That makes a lot of sense!

"System, I want to learn master-level rifle shooting!"

No longer dwelling on the matter, Chu Feng chose to learn master-level rifle shooting.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Feng felt a blur before his eyes, and he reappeared in the study space.

The process was the same as last time: learning all the content related to firearms theory, including firearms design, and shooting.

He then fired continuously, shooting various rifles, firing over a thousand rounds of each type, until he had a thorough understanding of the performance of each rifle model.

Finally, there's real-world combat—a vast amount of real-world combat, including combat in different environments, with different requirements, on different battlefields, and on different scales.

"call!"

When Chu Feng exited the learning space and looked at the familiar environment of the system space, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "System, sometimes, being too realistic isn't good either."

Training and learning are irrelevant.

But in actual combat, he could clearly see every injury and every death, and the repeated near-death experiences constantly tormented his nerves and will.

The system completely ignored Chu Feng's complaints and grievances.

Seeing that the system was ignoring him, Chu Feng felt a little bored and stopped talking, turning his attention back to the rewards.

"Buff?"

Looking at the reward, Chu Feng couldn't hide his joy.

"Hahaha!"

"Here comes another one. Even if it's just a basic buff, it's still a group buff."

My gaze involuntarily fell upon it, and information about the buff appeared.

"Daily Advancement (Basic Group Training): After using the equipment, the host and the commanders under their command will receive a buff during daily training."

Training attribute: During training, you will gain +10% focus.

Learning attribute: During training, you will gain +5% memory and comprehension.

Buff Summary: The effect is unremarkable and not particularly impressive, but if you persist and make steady progress, one day you and your troops will amaze everyone.

Looking at the buff's description, Chu Feng was a little disappointed.

"Is this the basic buff? It's so different from the advanced buff!"

Despite his disappointment, he still chose to equip himself.

As its name suggests, the buff works gradually, perhaps not much in a day or two, but over time the effect is quite significant.

"System, equip basic buff."

As soon as he finished speaking, the buff disappeared, and something new appeared in the buff section of the attribute panel.

Unconsciously, Chu Feng's gaze turned to his attribute panel.

"Whoa!"

Chu Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the attribute panel, which had been greatly changed and had many new additions.

"My level has increased, but my physique hasn't changed."

"Combat skills no longer include rifle shooting, but have added intermediate machine gun shooting."

Suddenly, Chu Feng paused, his gaze returning to the physique section: "Has my willpower improved?"

"It used to be 112, now it's 114."

This discovery gave Chu Feng a bad feeling.

"System, is my increased willpower related to the practical combat in the learning space?" Chu Feng's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

"Yes!" System.

"You little cutie!" Chu Fengren followed up with a blush.

The system expressed its gratitude for Chu Feng's loving greeting but ignored it.

"I'm so grateful to this system!"

Chu Feng felt a tightness in his chest and had to continue checking in order to relieve his suppressed emotions.

"I have gained two more personal command skills, one advanced and one intermediate. This aligns with my original body's combat experience and how I performed in this unexpected situation."

As he spoke, he looked at his merit points.

"1285 merit points, I've made a small fortune."

Chu Feng was very happy to receive merit points for the first time. The system explained that merit points could increase skill level experience, but he had never tried it before.

His gaze involuntarily swept over his own skills and buffs.

I want to try it myself and see the magic of merit points.

"In terms of individual combat and command skills, it seems that despite the investment, there hasn't been any substantial improvement."

Chu Feng's gaze fell on the buff section.

"A high-level group buff won't even make a ripple with over a thousand merit points, I don't want it!"

"I just received the beginner-level group training buff, 'Daily Advancement, One Soldier at a Time.' Upgrading from beginner to intermediate only requires 1000 merit points?"

"Wait? 1000 points?"

"So cheap?!?"

His eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he decided, "This is it!"

"The basic buff isn't very strong. Let me see what the upgraded intermediate buff will be like."

Without further hesitation, he said directly, "System, upgrade my 'Daily Advancement by One Piece' beginner buff."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his merit points instantly decrease by 1000 points, leaving only 285 points.

The system notification sounded at this moment: "Ding dong! Host, the primary group training buff is leveling up step by step. The buff has two upgrade directions."

Option 1: The host can enhance a specific area, such as precision training for weapons and equipment, or physical fitness and stamina.

Option 2: Continue the buff effect of "Daily Advancement" and strengthen and upgrade it.

Please choose between the two options above.

Hearing the system notification, Chu Feng was taken aback: "Huh? No way! Is it that intelligent?"

"Shouldn't the system handle everything? Should I only have the option of accepting or having no choice but to accept?"

"I never thought I could participate?"

Having grown accustomed to eating coarse grains and bran, Chu Feng felt a little uncomfortable suddenly having a good meal.

However, after the initial surprise and shock, Chu Feng immediately became excited.

"Hahaha!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Great, great, having choices is fantastic!"

As he spoke, he looked at the two directions and began to think: "Specialize in a certain area, such as weapons operation, or physical fitness."

"The advantage is that it's very effective and shows results in a short time. The disadvantage is that it's too focused and can't improve overall performance."

"If you choose to enhance the existing buff effect, the advantage is that the effect is stronger and you don't have to wait too long; you might see the effect in three to five months. The disadvantage is that it still takes time to verify."

After listing the advantages and disadvantages of the two options, Chu Feng fell into thought.
