Chapter 397 Orange Kiwi

Seeing Gervis patting his chest to make a promise, Alice was still a little worried, but she didn't say anything to persuade him.

Gervis's self-confidence is the quality she admires most, as if any difficulties he encounters are just small troubles that can be solved.

After returning to the camp, Gervis took Ike and others away from Alice and returned to their own camp.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the Jones family camp had returned to their tents to rest.

The soldiers in the northern camp were having a party time, and the western camp was of course no exception. A caravan also came to the western camp. At this moment, the caravan had already closed its business and was packing up, preparing to leave the camp. Although these caravans were allowed to enter the camp to do business, they were not allowed to stay in the camp in the middle of the night.

"My lord, you are back!"

When Gervis returned to his quiet camp, Laurie was on duty with several soldiers. When he saw Gervis, he quickly stepped forward, took Gervis's reins, and greeted Gervis to dismount.

Ever since the unicorn was given the second kiwi fruit before the southern expedition, it has become smarter.

It understood everything that Gervis told it to do very well, so now even if Gervis's subordinates approached, the unicorn would not attack as long as they had no hostility.

Over time, the guards no longer feared the unicorn and instead treated it as an ordinary war horse.

"Well, Laurie, didn't you go and relax tonight?"

Gervis dismounted and saw that Laurie and the others did not smell of alcohol, so he asked a question.

Among Gervis' official subordinates, apart from the medical team and slave soldiers, there are only Laurie and Ike's teams.

The medical team and the slave soldiers certainly wouldn't go out to drink and look for women, but Laurie and the others had told Gervis before they left that they could go and relax properly, so Gervis was a little surprised that Laurie and the others didn't go out to have fun.

"Hey, sir, we are all going to save some money. That caravan is a den of money, we dare not go there!"

Laurie chuckled and replied rather awkwardly.

"All right!"

Only then did Gervis realize that these subordinates were too poor.

It's okay for veterans like Laurie and Ike. They just can't bear to leave because they have a big family to support.

The other young guards had only joined the guards a few months ago. Even though Gervis paid them a high salary, they were used to being poor and naturally were reluctant to exchange one or two silver coins for a night of revelry.

Moreover, although Gervis reaped great rewards in the battle of Baiyan City, he did not give any rewards to his subordinates.

It’s not that they are reluctant to do so, but the rewards for ordinary soldiers can only be issued after the Southern Expedition is over. Otherwise, once people have money, they may become cautious and lose the courage to face death.

This is also the normal operation of most nobles.

"Ike, go get a jug of wine and five jugs of beer later, and you guys can gather by yourselves in the camp!"

Although they couldn't be given money yet, they could still be given spiritual rewards. Gervis was not a stingy lord, so he gave an order to Ike.

"This... Thank you for the reward, sir!"

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

When Ike and others heard Gervis mention wine, they were all stunned. A pot of wine cost one gold coin!

After they realized what was happening, Ike, Laurie, and the ordinary guards were all very excited and thanked Gervis repeatedly.

"Alright! I'll ask the cook to bring some side dishes later! But you guys should also go to bed early, don't stay up too late, because we have to leave tomorrow morning!"

Gervis waved his hand, interrupting the thanks from several people. Although the selling price of the wine was high, it was only the raw materials that had not been available. In just a few months, the cost of the wine would be just a few bunches of grapes for Gervis.

"Yes, sir!"

"kindness!"

Then, Gervis responded and walked towards his tent alone without stopping.

After watching Gervis leave, Ike and the others quickly started to move, some going to get wine, some going to find the cook, all of them were impatient.

…

When Gervis returned to the tent, the light was still on and Lilia, the temporary maid, was squatting at the door of the tent, drowsy.

When he found that Gervis had returned, he hurriedly bowed and greeted him, then brought out the toiletries that had been prepared long ago, and began to help Gervis wash and undress.

After washing and changing his clothes, Gervis waited until Lilia left before he lay down on his soft little bed with his head tilted back.

"Well, now it's time to use the Pitfall Wheel!"

The system reward was sent to Gervis' panel the moment King Lawrence confirmed who had made the first contribution. However, Gervis had little free time during the day, so he did not open the panel to study it.

Now that it was late at night and everyone was asleep, and he had already washed and changed his clothes, Gervis felt that it was a good time to use the system.

Now that he has enough points and lottery opportunities, Gervis is ready to draw in advance, because kiwi fruit has no shelf life, and he can't wait until he is at the critical moment of life and death to draw, right?

I was lucky the first few times and was able to draw a useful kiwi fruit to escape danger.

But what if you are unlucky next time and draw a kiwi fruit that is of no help at all, you will die on the spot.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So, Gervis didn't delay any longer and opened the control panel directly.

After the system panel was opened, Gervis immediately looked at his energy point value.

The energy point value showed 20 energy points, just right, not more, not less.

This number immediately made Gervis feel a lot more confident. The energy points were now his strength. With energy points in his pocket, he was confident in doing anything.

Of these 20 energy points, 10 were rewards for completing the system task, and the other 10 were energy points he had accumulated before setting off.

After glancing at the energy points reluctantly for a few times, Gervis shifted his gaze to the ridiculous turntable at the bottom of the system mall.

"I've washed my face and changed my clothes! It's not a bath, but it's almost there! You've got to give me some extra strength this time, I want a kiwi fruit that has permanent effects!"

Gervis said this silently in his mind, and then he couldn't wait to click the lottery button of the cheating roulette wheel.

As the cheating wheel started to spin, Gervis's heart began to beat fast.

"No black! No black!"

"Oh hoo! Haha! I'm really lucky today!"

When the pointer of the big turntable slowly stopped, Gervis almost jumped up, because the pointer of the cheating big turntable stopped on an orange kiwi fruit.

As long as you don’t draw the black kiwi fruit on the big turntable, it means you can get permanent benefits. It’s just that the functions of each color of kiwi fruit are different!

Gervis was overjoyed and very satisfied. He then looked up at the grid above, wanting to see what effects the orange kiwi fruit had.

"Orange Kiwi: This is a magical fruit. Although it cannot increase your strength or strengthen your physique, it can help you improve your affinity!"

"It's over? It's over just like that? Affinity? What the hell is this? What's the point of having affinity? Am I going to cheat on a little loli? Or pick up girls?"

"Fuck! You're such a rip-off system. Give me back my energy points. I want a refund! If I want to pick up girls, I can rely on my handsome face! Why do I need to enhance my affinity?"

Just a moment ago, Gervis was feeling smug about having won the orange kiwi fruit, but when he saw the insincere explanation, he was fed up!

This is simply a mission reward that is designed to trick him!

This was the result of him racking his brains to complete the task!

Even giving him a black kiwi would be better than drawing this orange kiwi.
