diymy Chapter 35 Harvest
Chapter 35 Harvest
Lu Ye turned his head with difficulty to look at Yuri, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"I have a question." Lu Ye's voice was still hoarse, but it was firm. "When I first entered this battlefield, I wasn't assigned to Camp 17."
"Why does Major Wolf have my paper file? The electronic file can be retrieved, but how come the original paper file is in his possession by such a coincidence?"
Yuri, who was about to turn and leave, paused slightly upon hearing the question.
He turned his head, looked into Lu Ye's eyes, and remained silent for a moment.
Lu Ye also stared intently into Yuri's eyes, trying to find the answer within them.
"There are some things you'd better not know right now," Yuri said, frowning slightly.
"All you need to know is that you're out of that quagmire now, and that's enough. Focus on recovering."
Lu Ye sensed a hint of embarrassment and hidden meaning in Yuri's words.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes and stopped asking questions.
Yuri gave Lu Ye a deep look, then turned and led his four team members out of the military tent.
Lu Ye lay on the operating table, listening to the footsteps fading away outside, and slowly opened his eyes.
He didn't dwell on the issue of the files; Yuri's refusal to discuss it proved that there was more to the story than met the eye.
Yuri was right when he said that he had just escaped the quagmire and was clearly not strong enough. He was not qualified to touch anything deeper behind the scenes, as he could not even protect his own life.
"System," Lu Ye murmured in his mind.
A pale blue light screen, visible only to him, instantly unfolded before his eyes.
[Host detected to have completed mission: brought back intelligence]
[Mission Evaluation: Perfect! Brought back precise artillery coordinates while inflicting heavy casualties and tactical chaos on the enemy!]
[Task Rewards: 500 Points, 2 Attribute Points!]
Immediately afterwards, a series of kill notifications began scrolling wildly on the screen.
Lu Ye looked at the final compiled figures on the light screen.
[Currently available points: 2100]
[Currently available attribute points: 2]
[Current host lifespan remaining: 13 days and 04 hours]
"Open the store," Lu Ye muttered to himself.
The screen flickered, and the shop interface was completely refreshed. In addition to the skills that had not been redeemed before, several new redemption options were added.
[Basic Skills]:
Beginner Wilderness Survival (No Change): Price: 300 points.
Basic first aid bandaging (no change): Price: 300 points.

Adrenaline (single-use consumable) (no change): Price: 300 points.
Just as Lu Ye was browsing the updated content of the points mall and thinking about how to maximize his combat power, the system popped up another eye-catching prompt.
[Trigger Quest: Showdown with Artyom]
[Mission Description: Prove your absolute skill as the top sniper in the Undertaker Black Scythe Squad. Defeat the current sniper, Artyom, in the live-fire competition three days later!]
[Mission Rewards: 200 points, 1 skill point, upgrade from Basic Shooting (LV5) to Precision Shooting (LV1)]
Upon receiving the mission, Lu Ye's heart stirred.
It seems I need to continue following the sniper's direction; in that case, the rewards I collect must align with that direction.
The sniper specialization is too expensive and is clearly more suitable for lone wolves.
Therefore, the only skill related to shooting is Breath Control (Passive).
Yuri's words suggest that the mission a few days from now will most likely be an assault mission, which is perfect for this skill.
That leaves you with 1300 points.
The competition three days later will test not only marksmanship, but more importantly, the extent to which one's injuries can recover. Therefore, military-grade cell repair fluid (a single-use consumable) must be redeemed.
The remaining 800 points can be used for emergencies, since they can be redeemed at any time!
The two attribute points gained should still be added to Agility!
With that in mind, Lu Ye no longer hesitated.
[Breathing Control (Passive) Redemption Successful: 800 Points Deducted]
Military-grade cell repair fluid (single-use consumable) successfully redeemed: 500 points deducted.
Agility: Increased from 11 to 13
As the system notification sound faded, a syringe gun appeared out of thin air in Lu Ye's hand, the liquid inside shimmering with golden light.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ye aimed at his own thigh and thrust in.
In an instant, Lu Ye felt a warm current suddenly rise within his body, rushing rapidly towards the penetrating wound on his right waist and his dislocated left shoulder.
The excruciating, tearing pain began to subside, replaced by a tingling, healing sensation deep within the wound.
At the same time, the skill of breathing control was deeply imprinted in his mind, as if it were innate!
"Attribute panel," Lu Ye commanded in his mind.

Looking at his attribute panel, Lu Ye felt somewhat confident about the competition three days later.
"I can definitely win, and I must win!" Lu Ye thought of his daughter and parents who were still waiting for him to come home in China.
Even though Dmitri had once told him that the mercenaries in The Undertaker were the elite of the elite.
Lu Ye then noticed the system notification on the panel: 200 points can be exchanged for one day of lifespan.
I was speechless: Did I need you to remind me? Do you think I'd renege on my promise?
Then he sighed softly. He had no choice at the time, and without [Perception], he would have certainly died during the reconnaissance operation at the chemical plant!
Lu Ye looked at his points, then at his lifespan.
"F**k! The only way is to keep participating in missions and killing people to get points!"
