Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

In order to build the Crimson Training Ground, Zhong Li specially went to the trading module to buy a blueprint for the training room.

Named the [Frontline Military Operations Training Room], Zhong Li decided to upgrade the blueprint for this training room after some thought, consuming 100 victory points.

After the upgrade, the training room gains an additional feature: [Pre-battle Preparation: Soldiers entering the training room have their mental circuits reset, fatigue is reduced to zero, and they will never tire within 6 hours of training. After 6 hours, fatigue rate decreases by 1.]

This added bonus feature also solved Zhongli's last problem.

With soldiers rotating shifts every 6 hours, they can continue fighting indefinitely.

Zhongli then handed the blueprint to Wu, instructing him to immediately cease all other tasks and construct the building inside the air-raid shelter as soon as possible.

The training room takes 6 hours to build per n slaves. If all the slaves are involved in the project, it can be completed in less than an hour.

Hongluan was anxious to complete the project as soon as possible, so despite her exhaustion, she took off her heavy armor and went to help with the shelter guards.

As Hongluan and Liulu removed their armor, Zhongli saw for the first time just how voluptuous their figures were.

Hongluan was a beautiful young woman of sixteen, with a body as soft as butter. She was a beauty who could kill without a knife, her waist her only weapon in taking lives. She was Zhongli's favorite type of beauty—slender-waisted and long-legged—her legs even longer than Zhongli's lifespan.

Durian and egret are slender branches with large fruits; a woman who can't see her toes when she bends down is already an absolute beauty!

The beauty of this world, the graceful and delicate figure, made Zhongli's heart race.

Unfortunately, Suzaku and Huo Wu were too tired from the numerous close-quarters battles, so they didn't take off their heavy armor to continue carrying bricks. Instead, they stood guard on high ground to prevent anyone from launching a surprise attack on their territory.

This shield can protect against Crimson invasions, but it does not protect against night attacks from other races.

Before leaving, Hongluan handed the last loot to Zhongli, saying, "This is a spoil found in deep space where the Eclipse Cluster is located. It should be the most valuable item dropped by the Eclipse Cluster."

Zhong Li immediately took it; it was an item that looked like a flag.

[Dark Angels Chapter Banner - Strategic Treasure: For the Dark Angels, raising the chapter banner is the highest honor. With the Supreme Mentor present and the banner's encouragement, the Dark Angels will be invincible.]

【Trait 1 - Fierce Battle Spirit: All friendly units within 1200 meters of the battle flag are blessed by the Dark Angel's Battle Spirit, gaining [Penetration 2] and reducing the opponent's defense by 2 points with each attack.】

【Characteristic Two - Battlefield of Honor: Allows the battle flag to be placed on the ground. Upon landing, all friendly units gain +2 to combat power, +2 to health, and +2 to defense, and gain the special rule 【Expeditioner】. (Note: Once the battle flag is placed on the ground, it cannot be pulled up or moved until the end of the battle. The battle flag has a durability of 120/120 and can be destroyed by attacks.)】

[Expeditioners: Our faith is our strength. Courage is not fearlessness, but moving forward in the face of fear. +10 Courage is granted when performing a Courage check. All Miracle abilities share the Dark Angels Chapter banner's area of ​​effect.]

Upon seeing it, Zhongli's pupils dilated in shock; the strength of this battle flag was simply unbelievable!

It can actually share miracle abilities!

Fire Dancer's [Miracle Ability (10 meters) - When an allied unit is within the range of the Battle Nun's Miracle, each kill of an enemy unit will immediately trigger a Holy Attack with added Faith damage] can now affect the entire field!

This will significantly enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the shelter's troops!

Zhong Li gritted his teeth and decided to use his precious victory points to upgrade this strategic treasure.

[Ding! First upgrade of the [Strategic Treasure - Dark Angel Warband Banner] costs 1000 Victory Points. Confirm?]

【Sure!】

[Ding! The Strategic Treasure Dark Angel Warband Banner has been successfully enhanced, gaining Trait 3: Super Stillness. When attacked, it deals [Reflect] damage equal to 10% of the user's current shield value, but this damage cannot be fatal.]

1000 victory points—this number made Zhong Li a little dizzy, but fortunately, the effect was extremely powerful.

In addition to the newly added third trait, Super Still Field, trait one has also been strengthened, with [Penetration 2] becoming [Penetration 3]. Don't underestimate this one-point difference; attacking twice is equivalent to activating the Penetration 2 effect once more. At the same time, to reduce a target with 10 defense to zero defense, the former requires 5 attacks, while the latter only requires 3.

This is a world of difference on the battlefield where fierce fighting is taking place.

What kind of stupid enemy would stand still and get hit 5 times in a row?

Although the data for Trait 2 remains unchanged, the Expeditionary's abilities have been enhanced, with Courage increased by 15. This means that soldiers under the banner will almost never lose their will to fight due to fear, and will never easily desert in the face of battle.

This had a devastating impact on the wasteland, where loyalty was practically nonexistent.

Just look at the slaves and guards in the territory; none of them have a loyalty level higher than 30.

This means that once they encounter a powerful opponent, they will crumble at the first touch and flee in droves.

In an era of warfare with firearms, it is extremely difficult for an army to have the courage to step forward in close combat.

In this regard, we can look to the armies in the South Asian subcontinent. They also struggled on the poverty line and fought with cold weapons in the era of firearms. When the opponent pressed forward, they couldn't even hold out for three seconds before some of them ran away, truly demonstrating to the world what it means to collapse at the slightest touch.

Zhong Li did not underestimate the soldiers in the shelter. With only a handful of them, and with Zhong Li keeping a close eye on each of them, they probably wouldn't dare to escape yet.

But if the scale is large, even if it's not hundreds of people, but only dozens, given their loyalty and courage, they still won't last 3 seconds.

With this [Expeditioner] trait, it's enough to allow the shelter soldiers to hold the line in most situations.

The third characteristic, the super-static field enhancement, is for high-level soldiers. Soldiers like the Vermilion Bird, the Crimson Phoenix, and the Pomegranate Heron all have special force field shields. The highest shield value of the Vermilion Bird is over 60 points. With a [counter-shock] of 10% of the shield value, it can instantly severely injure an ordinary soldier. Even if she is attacked twice, her shield value will not be broken, but the attacker may be directly killed by the shock.

But Zhong Li still held the same view: these soldiers in the wasteland simply didn't have the courage to fire a second shot.

If a soldier attacks her once and is critically wounded and near death, he would have no courage to continue attacking; turning around and running away would have been a more reasonable choice.

This special ability may be even more effective in fighting the ratmen.

According to Zhongli's observation, the morale and courage of the ratmen are significantly lower than those of other races, and loyalty is practically non-existent among them.

Under this [counter-shock] effect, a single volley from the ratmen could instantly shatter their morale.

This will be a great help in the upcoming battle against the ratmen.

Zhong Li wanted to continue strengthening his character, but the cost of 5000 victory points immediately dispelled any such thoughts.

Without much hesitation, he decided to use his remaining victory points to strengthen himself one last time!
