Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 145 Targeted Product Refresh
After staring at the system's virtual screen for a long time, Chang Ning reluctantly looked away.

Regarding the Akagi aircraft carrier, the system's selling price and after-sales service are quite reasonable, but unfortunately, he doesn't have enough merit points, and the system doesn't offer installment payment options.

Even if Chang Ning wanted to buy one, he could only look at the aircraft carrier with envy, because his wallet wasn't thick enough.

"Never mind, aircraft carriers are nice, but they're not a necessity."

Chang Ning found a plausible reason to convince himself to give up the aircraft carrier, but heaven knows how utterly miserable he felt at the time.

No man can resist something that is hard, big, and gives him a sense of security.

If the Akagi were at sea, it would be able to roam freely without the need for national intervention.

One of the two most painful things in life is not having enough money and not being able to buy the things you like.

I feel so sad and want to cry!

Chang Ning closed her eyes and switched to the Akagi's page; she didn't want to see the Akagi right now.

After learning about the details of the new features added after the system update, Chang Ning turned her attention to her data section.

I discovered that apart from the increase in merit points, none of the skill experience bars related to my own strength had increased, which was simply outrageous.

Back when he was in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, his experience points increased at a rocket-like pace, changing every single day. But since joining Wolf Fang, his speed has become like a tortoise's crawl. Compared to before, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a world of difference; Chang Ning even felt that using that word was an understatement.

Let it be a slow crawl, that's what happens in a seller's market. Even though it's slow, at least our strength is gradually improving.

But now it's all stopped, how can Chang Ning accept that? He's a special forces soldier now, a professional!
The missions he's out on are the kind where you could accidentally end up treating your friends and family to a feast. What's the difference between stagnant strength and being declared dead?

Despite his current physical strength being six times that of an average person and three times that of a frontline soldier, everyone is equal before bullets.

Under the same conditions, there were no fewer than five people in Wolf Fang who could kill him. Special forces soldiers are judged on their overall strength, not just one particular aspect.

Therefore, Chang Ning had a very deep understanding of his own capabilities. Even though he knew that his overall strength had already surpassed that of the other members of Group B in the same period, Chang Ning did not dare to be arrogant or complacent.

You must know that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Who knows when a weirdo might suddenly appear out of nowhere?

If Lao Liu can both kill the enemy and save his own life, why would he still want to take the lead when he has such good conditions?

"System, what are you doing?"
What benefits would it bring you if I failed to improve my strength and got killed?

Why haven't my stats improved at all after so many days?

Chang Ning had to get this information from the system, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep properly!
Faced with Chang Ning's aggressive questioning, the system remained lifeless. However, it did not keep its host waiting for long. Ten seconds later, several paragraphs of text appeared in Chang Ning's consciousness.

"The host's mind is unusually active while his physical talents are mediocre. According to the system's service terms, the host needs to be given a certain degree of convenience."

Therefore, the period from recruit training to Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is considered the system's new recruit protection phase.

The host's strength will increase rapidly under the system's influence, with the aim of enabling the host to successfully enter Wolf Fang and become qualified to participate in the main storyline.

Once you enter Wolf Fang, you will no longer receive assistance from the system; all services provided by the system will be charged in merit points.

After reading this, Chang Ning understood what was going on. He had been mentally prepared, knowing that his physical talents weren't particularly good.

Even so, Chang Ning was somewhat anxious: "So, exactly how much slower is my improvement speed compared to before?"

This is a crucial issue. If he can't keep track of his own strength data at all times, he will be restless and unable to eat or sleep. If he's not strong enough, he won't even be able to participate in the subsequent plot.

Chang Ning isn't stupid. With Wolf Fang's power, they recruited him but didn't quickly determine his location, only placing him in 026. Clearly, something went wrong.

Based on various circumstances, Chang Ning guessed that he might have already caught the eye of some leaders. Whether he could complete the difficult tasks assigned to him to enhance his seniority was secondary; losing his life was the most critical issue.

This time, the system didn't make Chang Ning wait even a second longer; the system provided the answer as soon as Chang Ning finished asking his question.

"The host's current improvement efficiency is 60% lower than when he was in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company."

Well, Chang Ning's face fell as soon as the answer was revealed; he was clearly very dissatisfied. But he could only keep it to himself, as this rate of improvement seemed to be an innate gift of his physical abilities.

According to the system, it's no longer possible to quickly improve my strength.

"Fortunately, I've already left Xiao Zhuang and the others far behind, and it's impossible for my comrades to catch up in the short term."

Thinking of this, Chang Ning felt less anxious. He was now a member of the Wolf Fang's most elite special operations team, and he had many more opportunities to go on missions than ordinary special forces soldiers.

Since the newbie perks are gone, he can simply do quests and rely on merit points to increase his experience.

Thinking of a solution, Chang Ning felt it wasn't a big deal. With the current plot progress, there didn't seem to be any dangerous missions. Looking at his stats, Chang Ning believed his life was still safe.

"I currently have 700 merit points. If I add those points to the experience bars of various skills, I can add seven points, which has a very weak effect."

so……"

Chang Ning turned her gaze to the system shop, her face showing a conflicted expression.

A single refresh costs 500 merit points, and the refreshed items may not even be affordable, since you'll only have 200 merit points left after refreshing.

"Fine, let's take a gamble!"
In any case, the effect of adding 700 merit points to the experience bar is negligible.

Chang Ning gritted her teeth and made up her mind to re-enter the system store and select the "specified refresh" function.

"Please enter the specified category."

The system notification sound appeared.

"Given the current situation, we can't use the powerful weapons that are good for killing enemies right now."

"With my 'Shooting Mastery' skill, I don't need any other skills for the time being, so what I need most right now is something to keep me alive."

"I choose medical products!"

Chang Ning told the system her choice, and the next second the mall page refreshed to show products suitable for Chang Ning.

Product Name: One Breath
Price: 200 merit points/bottle

Description: A blue capsule produced by the system, which can be taken internally or used externally, with excellent hemostatic effect.

It is said that no matter how severe the injury, as long as this medicine is taken, the patient will be kept alive for half an hour.

Note: There may be some adverse reactions after taking it, but they are insignificant compared to your life.

Changning's eyes lit up after seeing the refreshed product listings.

This product is practically a lifesaver, and it's incredibly cost-effective. The system has finally done a "good deed" this time.

The price is right and it meets my requirements, I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't buy a bottle.
