Seeing the properties of the Lee Enfield Rifle, Fang Linyan took a deep breath. Obviously, its greatest value lies in “doubling the damage to characters/creatures on this plane”.

However, the negative Special Effect makes it impossible to use it in the battle between contestants – the damage between had been reduced by 50%, and this would reduce the damage by 50% more. How is this useful?

In addition, not being able to carry out this world was also a disadvantage, so it could only be described as useless.

On the other hand, TK Stick Grenade really surprised Fang Linyan. Its damage and special effect were quite perfect, so Fang Linyan went to get more TK Stick Grenade from the quartermaster with the excuse of “exhausting all supplies when escorting the lieutenant”.

It was a pity that although the other party was easy to talk with, he still declared that this wouldn’t happen the second time. Since TK Stick Grenade had its own limitations, Fang Linyan could only keep 3.

After finishing all these, Fang Linyan sighed regretfully as he watched the countdown of the main mission beating on his retinas. There were only 5 minutes left, and it was obviously impossible for him to make any progress now, so he could only choose to complete the mission.

Now, Fang Linyan’s Mission Completion was only 64%.

When the royal dragon knights entered, Fang Linyan was pleasantly surprised. He was even optimistic that he could get the Excellent Evaluation with a degree of completion of more than 90%. Now it seemed that his idea was really too naive.

At this time, Fang Linyan recalled and made an afterthought analysis. If he wanted to get a high evaluation, there was only one way:

After entering the world, immediately went to find the rest of the mercenaries to form a team and selflessly work together in the Westminster Abbey Area!

In this way, by gathering the strength of the team, it should be possible to successfully complete the exploration mission before the unusual energy resonance becomes dangerous.

It was just that the probability of doing this was so low, it was definitely less likely than hearing the wife say to husband, “I want more” and the husband was still energetic!

The rest of the mercenaries were all ruthless characters who just survived from the joint trial. After experiencing that cruel and bloody elimination, their resistance to strangers must be the highest.

More importantly, even if everyone was persuaded to cooperate sincerely, why should they help him in the mission? This was the most difficult part!

Everyone had their own demands, and everyone had a mentality of not suffering from poverty and inequality. Shania seduced Wild Cat with her beauty and then controlled the team, but what did Fang Linyan have?

However, although the Mission Completion was very low and only reached the passing line, Fang Linyan still achieved his goal. Now, he was considered prepared, just waiting for things to happen, so he chose to complete the mission,

“Contestant ZB419.”

“Your current Exploration Mission Completion is 64%.”

“Your joint trial badge has sampled unusual energy resonance.”

“Your Mission Evaluation is Medium.” (only higher than the passing line)

“You earned Mission Reward: 2200 common points (based on base reward).”

“You earned Mission Reward: 1 Potential Point (based on Medium reward).”

“You got an extra Mission Reward: 3000 common points.”

“Given that the rest of the mercenaries are still in related main missions, you currently have about 8 hours of extra activity time, and you can freely use this time.”

***

Fang Linyan didn’t find it strange to see the evaluation he got, then he thought for a while after getting 1 potential point.

Now he seemed to have 2 options. 1 was to upgrade {Combat Technology Support LV3} to LV4. Another option was to upgrade [Machine Gun Turret] to LV3.

However, Fang Linyan now knew that when all skills were upgraded to LV4, there would be a qualitative change. Moreover, he would get a chance to draw an extra special effect. Therefore, he quickly made a decision and chose to upgrade the {Combat Technology Support}.

However, when Fang Linyan tried to upgrade, he discovered a ruthless thing. That was the prompt from Space, saying that his potential point was insufficient!

It was only at this time that he recalled that upgrading a skill LV3 to LV4 was a huge gap. It needed 2 potential points and a certain amount of common points.

Not only that, {Combat Technology Support} belonged to the category of special main skills, so if he wanted to upgrade it to LV4, he must upgrade all the sub-skills to LV3! For Fang Linyan, that meant upgrading both [Machine Gun Turret] and [Drone] to LV3…

In such a situation, Fang Linyan could only choose to upgrade [Machine Gun Turret] to LV3. At least, it could deal some more damage. Damage was like the duration a man could sustain, the longer the better…

Now, he could exchange items or equipment with dragon knight reputation from the quartermaster in the tent next to him.

Although these equipment needed to be purchased in pounds, and without exception, they all had the characteristics of “dragon knight reputation had to reach friendly/respect/reverence/worship”, but the practicality was still quite high.

When the reputation reached friendly, 2 items could be exchanged: the Dragon Knight Ration and Dragon Knight Special Status Token.

Neither of these 2 things could be brought out of this world. The former could recover 30% of HP within 60 seconds in a non-combat state, and it could also dispel an abnormal status effect. The dragon knight special status token could provide 20% off shopping in the whole of London after wearing.

When the reputation reached the respect level, the standard dragon knight weapon, Lee Enfield Rifle(Specially Provided), that Fang Linyan had and standard dragon knight uniforms could be bought. These weapon and equipment still couldn’t be carried out of the world.

After the reputation had reached reverence, 3 new items had also been added: Order of the British Empire (limited to 1 purchase)/Dragon Knight Can Food/TK Stick Grenade

These 3 things could be carried out of this world, especially the Order of the British Empire. After Fang Linyan saw its attributes, he decided to buy it if he had a chance.

The Dragon Knight Can Food was the upgraded version of the ration. It could be used in the combat state. It recovers 30% HP within 60 seconds, and the effect will cancel after taking damage. It also has a special effect, which is increasing 10% defense after 15 seconds eating the can food. It lasts for 15 seconds. The maximum amount of can food can be carried is 10.

As for the TK Stick Grenade, Fang Linyan had 3 of them. He could buy it here after using it.

As for the reward for worship reputation, it was a silver story firearm called “Glory of the Red Coat”. 1 of the most powerful attributes of this firearm was undoubtedly marvelous. It increases the user’s attack power by 20%. Of course, equipment with such a powerful attribute also had a negative effect. It was this negative effect that made Fang Linyan have a lack of interest.

Its negative effect is called: line tactic, which will reduce the user’s defense by 20 points!

The so-called line tactic sounds mysterious, but it was actually very popular. The soldiers had to get close to the enemies within a distance of 30 meters before firing…

Fang Linyan was very aware of his weakness, which was his low HP. Not to mention the difficulty of raising the royal dragon knight reputation to the worship level, even if he spent all his effort to get it, he probably wouldn’t use this gun. What a joke. If Fang Linyan used it, his defense would be negative.

The result of having negative defense was that if the theoretical damage from the enemy was 100 points, the damage being dealt would exceed 100 points!

When Fang Linyan was shot into the dying state, he was desperate enough. It was a total nightmare in his life. He definitely didn’t want to experience it again.

After seeing these dazzling items, Fang Linyan set 3 goals for himself in the following free time.

A. Go to the local machinery factory to find out if there is any way to get suitable simple equipment. It is the top priority to make a real [Machine Gun Turret] as his trump card.

B. When entering the world, there is already a clear prompt that the title scholar can be upgraded here, and it is still a time-limited mission, so it is best to get this mission along the way.

C. He still has the title of black market. In the previous world, Fang Linyan got a lot of benefits in the black market, so if he can encounter the black market this time, he has to go shopping.

It was almost 11 pm in the evening, so it was obviously unrealistic for Fang Linyan to go to the machinery factory to get suitable simple equipment. It was best to wait for work the next day.

Therefore, his first goal was now to switch to goal B, so he would go to Knockturn Alley… Fang Linyan asked around with hope, but he found that no one around him knew about it.
