Chapter 53 Don’t Forget Me when It Snows
The bet between Wei Jichen and Liu Shengxiu caused countless people to suffer from insomnia and difficulty in falling asleep, but he himself had a peaceful sleep.
The next morning, he got up early.
Then enter the system calmly.
In personal information:
Wei Jichen, male, 22 years old
Rank: Private First Class.
Merit points: 75601, title: Ten Thousand Enemies, cumulative merit points gained exceed 10,000.
Prestige value: 2682, title: Far-famous. The host's reputation for being brave and good at fighting has spread to the ears of senior officials in China and Japan. The system hereby rewards 2000 prestige points.
Wei Jichen is no longer as excited as he was when he upgraded a few times. In his opinion, upgrading is just a matter of course. He has spent a lot of merit points. It is not a big deal after he spent more than 10,000 in total. In the end, The main thing is that his sniper combat plays a big role.
The title changed from early fame to far-reaching fame, which surprised him a little. It spread to the upper echelons of China and Japan. Could it be that Li Hongzhang started to pay attention to me? Wei Jichen only thought of this possibility.
After upgrading, will there be any changes to the military advisor skills?
Wei Jichen thought for a while and immediately went in to check.
Military Advisor Skill: Level 2 morale booster, which can boost the morale of a team of about 1,000 people by 10 points. The effect lasts for half an hour. It requires 60 points of prestige and consumes 6 points of mental energy.
The second level of ice and snow can change the climate of a thousand-mile radius to snow. The effect lasts for 7 days. It requires 1,000 prestige points and consumes 51 mental points.
The first level stabilizes the morale of the army, appeases our soldiers, and greatly improves the morale that is about to collapse. It lasts for one day, can affect more than 5,000 people, requires 500 prestige points, and consumes 50 mental energy points.
Having an extra person to stabilize the morale of the army is also a useful strategist skill, just like the last time when hundreds of soldiers were defeated and were chased by Tachimi Naofumi, they cried to the ground.
If this military division skill had been available at that time, once it was used, the defeated troops would have been able to stabilize the morale of the troops. Not to mention that they would all turn back to fight the Japanese troops, at least they would not have foolishly fled back to attack their own lines.
The second-level military advisor skill does not cover the first-level military advisor skill. Of course, Wei Jichen would not use the second-level military advisor skill stupidly.
Changing the climate of a hundred miles radius is just right for him now. This range includes Dakaoling, Lianshanguan, which the Japanese have just captured, and even Phoenix City is on the edge.
Therefore, he prepared to use the first-level strategist skill of Ice and Snow.
When he saw that his mental strength had barely recovered to 60 points after a day and night, Wei Jichen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Last night, he drank three bowls of ginseng soup under Nie Cairong's gaze.
According to Tinker Bell's narration, Wei Jichen learned that in reality, precious medicinal materials such as snow ginseng can indeed greatly increase the speed of recovering mental power.
Even so, his mental power has only recovered from 40 points to 60 points. If it recovers naturally, it is still a bit uncertain whether it can reach 50 points.
Before Wei Jichen could do anything, a soldier claiming to be Liu Shengxiu came to see him outside the door.
The soldier was naturally sent by Liu Shengxiu to hand over Wei Ziying.
As soon as the day broke, Liu Shengxiu couldn't wait. Well, in this case, it was better to slap him in the face in public.
Wei Jichen didn't say much, but followed the soldiers to the commander's tent.
Along the way, Wei Jichen met some sergeants from time to time.
Most of these sergeants shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for him.
There were also some generals who were jealous of him before and were mocking him, ready to laugh at him secretly.
Inside the handsome tent, there was not much change from yesterday. Nie Shicheng and Liu Shengxiu were both there. Nie Shicheng could not hide the feeling of loss and depression on his face, but Liu Shengxiu was always smiling.
Wei Jichen's old superior Hu Dianjia was also there. When Hu Dianjia saw Wei Jichen walking in, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, expressing silent comfort.
"Wei Jichen, the weather is very nice today, it's not snowing. I wonder what else you have to say." Liu Shengxiu had a touch of mockery on his face, but his tone was very calm.
"It hasn't snowed yet, it's just that it hasn't arrived yet." Wei Jichen first greeted the generals and then calmly answered Liu Shengxiu's question.
"It's not yet time, do you want me to wait until today?" Although Liu Shengxiu asked Wei Jichen, he looked at Nie Shicheng.
"Zijie, please apologize to Mr. Liu first. Mr. Liu has a lot of people. I doubt he will keep embarrassing you for this little thing." Nie Shicheng was going to fool him.
Liu Shengxiu's eyelids twitched and he said sternly: "There is no such thing as joking in the army. The bet between Wei Jichen and me has already spread throughout the army. If it just goes without saying, I don't have any objection. It's just that the officers and soldiers of these three armies are talking nonsense." ”
"Shuai Nie, Mr. Liu, there is no need to wait until the end of the year. According to the kid's guess, this school should be completed." Wei Jichen smiled faintly and stood alone in the center of the handsome tent with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be a bit of an expert. look like.
Just between this smile, Wei Jichen had already entered the system, and then spent 500 points of merit to use the first level of ice and snow.
Liu Shengxiu said with a smile: "It's a joke, the sky is clear and cloudless, and there is a little bit of snow there, but you still want to deceive the public with your lies until the end, huh,"
As soon as Liu Shengxiu finished speaking, there was a burst of screams and exclamations outside the door, and then a sergeant ran in in a panic, rolling and crawling.
After entering the tent, the sergeant looked at Wei Jichen with admiration before speaking.
Then, his voice trembled, and he said loudly with great excitement: "Report, report Nie, General Nie, it's snowing outside."
Liu Shengxiu's smile froze on his face, and everyone around him was incredulous when they heard the sergeant's words.
It's snowing, it's really snowing.
The first person to react was Nie Shicheng. Although he was mature and steady, from the trembling muscles on his face, he was also very excited.
"Come with me to take a look." Nie Shicheng shook his sleeves and stood up.
Almost all the generals rushed out of the door like an arrow from a string the moment Nie Shicheng's words fell to the ground.
Only Nie Cairong, who had been paying attention to Wei Jichen, saw Wei Jichen stagger, then fall to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother." Seeing that the people in the tent had left, Nie Cairong took two steps instead of three, stepped forward and helped Wei Jichen, who had fallen to the ground, up, exclaimed, and the anxiety on his face was undoubtedly revealed.
"Brother, it seems that I have revealed the secret and will be punished by God. I will not live long." Wei Jichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said jokingly with a smile.
The reason why Wei Jichen was on the ground and felt powerless was that after he used the military strategist skills, he only had 10 points of mental power left.
Wei Jichen knew everything clearly, but when he saw Nie Cairong's anxious look, he didn't know why he wanted to play a trick on her.
"Brother, you will be fine. We have sworn to God that we will die on the same day of the same month of the same year as brothers. If God wants to punish you, he must give me half of the punishment." Nie Cairong hugged Wei Jichen tightly in her arms, her handsome face turned pale, and tears as big as beans kept dripping down her long eyelashes.
She believed Wei Jichen's words, and at this moment she felt a pain in her heart like a knife.
At this moment, Wei Jichen was like everything in her heart. She felt that no matter what she lost, even her life, as long as she could save his life, Nie Cairong would be willing.
Wei Jichen was hugged tightly by her, and he almost couldn't breathe. His face was even uglier, and he couldn't speak.
Nie Cairong was even more panicked when she saw it. She thought Wei Jichen was dying.
Nie Cairong gritted her teeth and pulled out the dagger from her boot. She looked up at the sky and glared at it, saying, "God, since you want to take Brother Wei's life, take my life first. Brother Wei and I are brothers in life and death. I will exchange my life for his."
After that, she stabbed him in the heart.
"Rongcai, stop it!" Wei Jichen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, he was shocked. He didn't even notice that Nie Cairong inadvertently said her real name, but hurriedly stretched out his arm to block her.
With a snap, Nie Cairong's dagger stabbed Wei Jichen's arm.
This is too much, am I asking for trouble?
The severe pain from his arm made him sweat coldly on his forehead.
"Rongcai, I'm fine. I was just joking just now. I didn't worry about my life, but this time I really worry about my life." Wei Jichen saw Nie Cairong still in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Brother, ah, bleeding, I'll go find medicine for the wound." Nie Cairong finally reacted, and seeing that Wei Jichen could still joke, he was busy and ready to find hemostatic medicine.
Wei Jichen saw his panic and hurriedly stopped him. It was a joke. If he let him do this, maybe his life would really be over.
"Rongcai, help me back to the tent first, and then find a military doctor." Wei Jichen said while bandaging himself.
"Well, I'll help you back to the tent." Nie Cairong seemed to have found a backbone, and he supported him with great effort, and slowly walked towards Wei Jichen's tent.
Outside the tent, Nie Shicheng and others were still staring blankly at the snowflakes floating outside the door.
The heavy snow like goose feathers made everyone feel mixed emotions. For a moment, they couldn't say anything, but just let the snowflakes drift everywhere and fall on their clothes and hats.
"Lord Liu, this." Nie Shicheng glanced at Liu Shengxiu, who had a complicated expression next to him, and asked softly.
"Marshal Nie, this is only the first day, and there are still six days to go!" Liu Shengxiu said unwillingly, and then felt that there was no point in staying here any longer, and he led his deputy general and staff away in a hurry with an expressionless face.
"Where is Zijie?" Nie Shicheng waited until Liu Shengxiu disappeared from his sight, and asked the personal soldier next to him.
"Lord Wei seems to be a little unwell, and two brothers sent him back to the camp." The personal soldier replied respectfully.
Nie Shicheng had a lot to ask Wei Jichen, but now that he heard that he was unwell, he had to give up.
"Marshal Nie, this Wei Jichen is too amazing." Feng Guozhang said with a strange look.
Nie Shicheng replied easily: "In our Chinese land, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are endless strange people and things. Let alone predicting the weather, Zhuge Wuhou also used magic to change the wind direction. Wei Jichen is familiar with the Book of Changes and the Emperor's Internal Classic. It is not a big deal to occasionally predict the weather."
Wei Jichen is very single, but Nie Shicheng has to start citing classics and find a reasonable explanation for him.
Fortunately, people in this era can still accept these amazing things. During the Opium War, some Qing army generals even invited Taoist priests to use feces and women's underwear to pollute British and French cannons.
In this way, it is not a big deal that Wei Jichen can predict the weather.
