Chapter 273 System Upgrade!
Gandalf and others began to make an effort, but it would take some time to deal with the Orc warriors, and Gervis was in a real tough battle at this moment.
The orcs had surrounded him and his subordinates, and even on the city walls, a large number of orcs rushed in from somewhere else. This put a sudden increase in the pressure on Gervis and others who were already struggling to resist.
The guards who had originally come to support were transferred to the rear by Gervis and returned to the city wall to block the orcs, preventing themselves and the spear phalanx from being attacked from both sides.
There were several dents on Gervis's full body armor at this moment. Ever since he was injured in a sneak attack by the orc priest, Gervis would rather be hit by the orc leader than be attacked by the orc priest's spells. All the dents on his full body armor were caused by the orc leader's blunt weapons.
Of course, Gervis’s hard fight was not without reward. Among the more than ten orc leaders, five had died under his sword, allowing Gervis to gain energy points again.
However, as Gervis's fighting spirit was released without reservation, the fighting spirit in his sea of qi was no longer full, and the surviving orc leaders also learned their lesson and commanded ordinary orcs to attack Gervis, constantly consuming Gervis's fighting spirit, and they would suddenly attack Gervis when they found an opportunity.
Faced with the sneak attack from the orc leader and the priest, Gervis, whose fighting spirit was about to be exhausted, was in great pain!
"Damn it, am I going to die here today?"
Feeling his fighting spirit being consumed bit by bit, Gervis felt a little unwilling. After all, he was a time traveler and had a golden finger on him, but he was beaten to death by a group of orcs. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it.
As for escaping, if Gervis escaped alone, he might be able to escape by riding on the unicorn at all costs, but these guards and slave soldiers would definitely not survive.
Gervis felt that as long as he was still alive, he would not abandon his men and run away. Although this was stupid and childish, he only had two lives to live, so Gervis wanted to be willful for a while.
The guards were on the city walls holding off the surging orcs, and the slave soldiers were plunged into the sea of beasts with their spears raised. Gervis felt that if he really ran away, he would be looked down upon by others.
"My Countess, my Storm Territory!"
“I still have so many wonderful things.”
The more he thought about Gervis, the angrier he got. If he had been given more time, he would definitely have grown up. However, he had encountered this kind of thing in Rose Castle. Even though he was good enough, his realm was still too low!
"Go to hell! You bastards!"
Filled with murderous intent, Gervis thrust his sword straight ahead, ignoring the mace that the orc on his right was throwing at him, and directly pierced the ordinary kobold in front of him with his sword. With the remaining force, Gervis pushed the pierced kobold towards an orc leader hiding behind him.
Poof!
The orc leader in the rear thought that he was safe enough with a meat shield in front of him, but he didn't expect that Gervis had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He directly pierced him and the meat shield with his long sword, turning them into skewers.
Ding! System rewards energy point +1!
Ding! The total number of energy points obtained through hunting reaches 20 points, meeting the system upgrade conditions!
"Another few energy points, but I'm almost beaten to death by these orcs. What's the point of you rewarding me with energy points... Hey, wait, the system can be upgraded?"
After Gervis killed the orc leader, he heard a reminder in his mind that the system was rewarding him with energy points.
When he heard the first sentence, Gervis didn't take it seriously and even complained miserably, but when he heard the second hint, Gervis was extremely surprised.
The brilliance that burst out from the eyes beneath the hideous mask could not even be concealed by the mask.
When the orc leader on the opposite side saw Gervis's eager eyes, he thought that Gervis was going to do something weird and was so scared that he quickly took several steps back. Then he looked at Gervis with a wary look on his face.
"Can I upgrade? I'm a VIP user too?"
"Upgrade this broken system quickly. If you don't, I'll die! Then you'll be reduced to ashes!"
Gervis seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and kept urging himself in his heart.
…
…
The system is automatically upgrading, please wait!
The system is automatically upgrading, please wait!
The system is automatically upgrading, please wait!
Ding! The system upgrade is complete. Please open the page to view the new system features...
When the prompt sounded that the system update was completed, Gervis couldn't wait to open his control panel, only to find that the originally simple control panel had changed a lot, as if it had been renovated.
The border of the system panel was originally a monotonous black line, but now it is decorated with many complex patterns. The entire panel looks more high-end and upscale. You can tell at a glance that this is VIP treatment. The small hut has become a brick house.
Of course, these are not what Gervis is most concerned about right now. What he is most concerned about is whether there is any function that can help him get out of his current predicament!
Gervais first looked to the left side of the panel.
“The search function doesn’t work!”
"Martial arts function? What is this?"
The second time Gervis saw the martial arts function below the search button, there was a + sign below this martial arts function!
Gervis thought about it and immediately clicked on the + sign, only to see the names of two skills listed on the panel.
Martial arts: Critical Three Sword Slash - Deduction - Decomposition.
Stealth Technique (Secret Technique of Stealth II): - Deduction - Decomposition.
When Gervis saw these two lines of text, he couldn't help but be shocked. Aren't these the only two secret skills he knew? How come this broken system could include them?
However, the situation was critical, and Gervis had no time to think about the use of the functions. As soon as he heard the names, he knew that these two things would be of no help in the battle at hand, so Gervis looked down again.
"Magical function? Are there really magicians in this world?"
There is no + sign under this magic function, and it directly shows the only kind of magic that Gervis currently knows - illusion!
But it still didn't help, the left panel had reached the bottom at this moment.
Gervis turned his gaze to the system mall on the right. When Gervis saw the panel mall, his eyes lit up.
At this moment, there was a thing similar to a turntable in the panel mall. On it were kiwis of various colors, all of which were colors that were not originally in the mall, such as black, red, brown... In short, they were kiwis that Gervis had never seen before.
But there is one strange thing, that is, there are a lot of black kiwis above the turntable, accounting for half of the total.
"Hey! Wait, why are there words behind these black kiwis?"
"The function of this kiwi fruit is random, and it will be effective for one hour after taking it?"
"Fuck you, there's still a time limit?"
Gervis couldn't help but mutter.
Gervis had no time to complain, so he could only continue looking at the bottom of the turntable, where there was a row of small notes: Lucky Roulette, each turn consumes 10 energy points!
"Damn it, this damn system! How can you upgrade it so shamelessly?"
When Gervis saw the cost of the lottery, he felt terrible.
There are more than ten grids on the big turntable, but half of them are occupied by black kiwi. The most shameless thing is that the functions of black kiwi are random and time-limited. You should know that he only gets 10 energy points when buying golden kiwi and green kiwi, and the effects are permanent after taking them.
After cursing in anger, Gervis wanted to see if there were any other new features, but found that there were no other new features except the lucky wheel.
"That's a bit stingy! Is this your upgrade?"
Gervis was secretly complaining in his heart, but his life was in danger now, his fighting spirit was almost exhausted, and if he didn't think of a solution, he would die. Gervis had no choice but to try his luck and clicked the lottery button.
Gervis knew that no matter what kiwi fruit he drew, it might not help the current battle situation, so he just wanted to try out what it felt like to use the upgraded system before he died.
Thanks to the book friends "追风*书生" and "无名……(really 无名!)" for their tips!!! It took me an hour and a half to edit this chapter... This is the disadvantage of not having drafts saved. I am afraid that if it is not well-written, it will be difficult to write later.
