Chapter 263: Rank Promotion

Facing Fang Linyan’s questioning, the other party hurriedly said,

“No.”

After finishing speaking, the lid beside open. The unknown strange object Fang Linyan put in before reappeared, but when his finger touched its surface, he would automatically obtain its data,

“Tier A+ unknown strange object. It has great research value. Can be exchanged for a certain merit point.”

After receiving the information, Fang Linyan sneered,

“You know what? What I hate most is a profiteer like you who deliberately lowers the product quality to extort money. This unknown strange thing is obviously of Tier A+ quality. You told it was an A! You think I’m a fool? “

Saying that, Fang Linyan took something and turned to leave, but the voice came from behind unwillingly,

“6 merit points, no more!”

Fang Linyan sneered,

“Sorry, your credit rating in my mind has gone bankrupt. If you want my unknown strange object, I will go around and ask around. For the highest price offered by others, you will add an additional 3 merit points for my mental damage fee. Otherwise…”

Having said that, Fang Linyan paused, then he said seriously,

“Say goodbye to it.”

Then Fang Linyan took the unknown strange object to another area. He found that the repair, sale, and query all expressed interest in the unknown strange object, but the highest bid was 7 points.

Fang Linyan shook his head a little unwillingly. He decided to sell it to the rest of the contractors at his booth to see if they had related needs.

Yes, although the merit point traded with the contractor was best not to be used to upgrade the military rank, because it will cause the contestant to enter the reserve unit.

But Fang Linyan’s diligent pursuit was to get rid of his terminal cancer, so if the price gap was large, it was not impossible to sell it.

But after going to the market, Fang Linyan went to inquire about the price and found that there were also people selling unknown strange objects, but the price was not as high as he thought. In the final calculation, it was not as good as selling to the official agency.

According to what Fang Linyan learned, the higher the military rank, the better the benefits.

Among these benefits, the discounted benefits of the merit store were included! Which meant, if Fang Linyan buys medicines in the merit store without a military rank, he will have to pay 50 more merit points, but if he buys it after he has been promoted to a high military rank, he will probably get a 50% discount or something.

The benefits brought by military rank were far more than these, so in general, Fang Linyan’s previous idea of ??saving enough merit points to buy the medicine to treat cancer at one time was not the optimal solution.

In the end, Fang Linyan went back and asked, and he found that the highest bidder turned out to be the profiteer who appraised for him… He was willing to give 8 merge points, and it was considered a trade with the official. The merit points he used to advance rank would not cause him to enter the reserves.

“Ugh… it smells so good!”

So Fang Linyan had 16+5 merge points; the extra 5 merge points were traded.

***

At this time, Fang Linyan realized that it was still early, and his booth probably had not attracted enough buyers, so he went to another special area, which was also not open to him when he was in Space R300.

That was the honor area.

After entering here, there was also a conductor to explain.

The function area here was relatively small, divided into 3 areas.

First, the military rank area

Second, the merit store

Third, the honor mission acceptance/submission office.

The functions of the first 2 areas were clear at a glance. Although the merit store was limited to those with a military rank, even without a military rank, holding a privilege card + high price were also eligible to purchase some items. However, the privilege card was similar to food stamps, which was one-time consumable.

In the third area, Fang Linyan found out that after his military rank had risen to a certain level, he could take honor missions before entering the world, and honor missions were often rewarded with merit points.

However, one had to spend merit points to receive honor missions, and the merit points were not refundable whether the missions were completed or not.

Fang Linyan entered the military rank area directly, then he found that he had reached the primary requirement. It took 15 merit points to be promoted to the rank of sergeant, and Fang Linyan now had 21 merit points.

At this time, he also received a prompt that it was best not to use the trade merit points to upgrade his military rank, otherwise he would be transferred to the reserve, and it would be difficult to transfer out.

So, according to the instructions, he entered the designated circle. After standing still, he felt that the floor under his feet suddenly rose quickly.

3 red tentacles automatically protruded from the bottom of the floor and quickly weaved a closed and wide fence around Fang Linyan, obviously to prevent people from falling.

Fang Linyan touched it with his hand and felt that the texture of the fence was like a steel core wrapped with a sponge on the outside, and it was slightly warm. The fence was very solid.

Taking this simple “elevator”, Fang Linyan rose to the top of the Space. After arriving at the destination, the floor under Fang Linyan’s feet immediately dissolved into the wall beside.

A hexagonal silver-white metal passage appeared in front of him, and the metal passage seemed unbreakable at first glance. After Fang Linyan walked into it, 3 dark green light beams immediately scanned his body. If he acted rashly, he would be dead immediately.

At the end of the passage, a metal chair appeared with many large oval crystals inlaid on it. Fang Linyan sat down, and a virtual screen popped up in front of him. He also heard a cold voice,

“Contestant ZB419…. reading”

“Identification confirmation…”

“Your current rank is Corporal.”

“You have 21 merit points, 5 of which are obtained from trading.”

“Upgrade to the next military rank: Sergeant, you need to hold 5 Merit Points.”

“Upgrade to the next military rank: Staff Sergeant, you need to hold 15 merit points.”

“You currently have the conditions to be promoted to the Staff Sergeant. Do you want to be promoted immediately?”

“Yes.”

“Your current Nightmare Mark rank has been upgraded to: Staff Sergeant”

You have unlocked the following permissions.

The first privilege is to know some basic information about the next adventure world some time in advance (depends on the case).

The second privilege, (which Fang Linyan currently needed), is to expand the volume of his private space by 25%.

The third privilege can bring some irrelevant items from the real world, currently food and water, into the adventure world.

The fourth privilege can unlock the purchase limit of the merit shop, which can be purchased without a privilege card, but now only Staff Sergeant-level munitions can be purchased.

The fifth privilege, when using various paid functions in the space, some can get a 10% discount, such as training ground, the shop selling basic abilities.

The sixth privilege, you get the right to enter the Nightmare Space every 2 weeks in the real world. Each active entry will add an additional 3 hours to your stay. Each time you complete the adventure world, the time you can stay in the Space increases by 15%. At the same time, get an additional 3 (Sergeant +1, Staff Sergeant +2) hours of free training time in the training ground.

The seventh privilege, if the enemy uses [Reconnaissance] or skills similar to detecting identity on you, they will be suppressed by military rank. Those with a lower military rank than you will directly fail to detect. If the other party is the reserve military rank, he needs to be one rank higher than you to succeed [Reconnaissance].

(For example, Fang Linyan is now a Staff Sergeant in the regular army, so the second lieutenant and first lieutenant of the reserve will be suppressed by him. Only the lieutenant of the reserve can successfully cast [Reconnaissance] on him)

After promoting to Staff Sergeant, the merit point was still there.

Now Fang Linyan’s panel showed Staff Sergeant (15/16) + 5 points. He could still spend the 16 merit points on his own. It just meant that once the merit points he held were lower than 15 points, the Staff Sergeant status would be taken back. Fang Linyan was very satisfied with this, which was the main reason why he was willing to upgrade his military rank.

Then Fang Linyan went to the merit store to see what he could purchase. He found that there were 2 things he could get.

The first item was called the field operation first aid bandage. It could be used in any situation. It recovers 120 HP within 15 seconds, but the user cannot be attacked. Even if Fang Linyan got hit when using the magic shield, it wouldn’t work.

The second item was called comprehensive healing potion (small), which could also be used in any situation. It can instantly restore 35% of HP and 35% of mana. And the merit potion had its own cooldown, which could be used together with the common healing potion.

There was no doubt that this comprehensive healing potion was a life-saving treasure for anyone. It could be combined with ordinary healing potions to directly boost one’s own HP from the dying line to the healthy HP in an instant. If it was a novice or a class with low HP, it was not impossible to be full HP instantly!

So Fang Linyan couldn’t save money in this area no matter how much he lacked merit points… He spent 2 merit points to buy 1 for an emergency situation.

Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then he decided to leave. He first went to his booth and found that many people had already left messages. There were 8 people who left their contact information. Of course, not surprisingly, all were aimed at the Frost Shine.

After all, only those who had experienced bloody battles knew how precious this instant 5 seconds control was.

After thinking for a while, Fang Linyan picked out a few sincere guys, but none of the chips they offered satisfied him.
