Chapter 398: The system is a jerk?
“What a bummer!”
Gervis cursed at the system in his heart for a long time at the top of his lungs, but unfortunately his system was a low-profile version, and it did not have a spirit or intelligent brain like the other VIP traversers. No matter how much Gervis cursed and asked for a refund, there was no response.
After venting his anger, Gervis could only accept the result awkwardly.
I won the prize myself, so I have to eat it even if I have to cry.
Gervis made a bitter face, and with a thought, he took the orange kiwi in his hand.
This orange kiwi looks a bit like an orange, but it is smaller and does not need to be peeled.
“It smells really good!”
As soon as Gervis took it out from the space, he smelled a faint fragrance. In an instant, he felt refreshed both physically and mentally.
"Alas! One thousand gold coins for this unnecessary affinity..."
In the end, Gervais put the orange kiwi into his mouth with tears in his eyes.
Although the effect of the orange kiwi fruit made Gervis feel like he was being cheated out of his grandmother's house, the taste was impeccable and as good as ever.
Feeling the incomparable sweetness, Gervis began to chew the fruit in his mouth, and the warm current flowed through his throat and into his stomach.
Gervis immediately concentrated and began to perceive the changes in himself, but it was obvious that all this was in vain. The so-called affinity was simply beyond his perception range.
Finally, after sensing carefully for a few minutes and finding nothing, Gervis reluctantly withdrew his perception and opened his system panel again.
"Let's draw again! We may encounter some dangers during this southern expedition, so it is most important to draw a kiwi fruit as soon as possible to strengthen our own strength!"
"Even if it's a black kiwi fruit, at least I can have a trump card to rely on!"
Looking at the lonely 20 energy points, Gervis's back had weakened by half. The 20 energy points that had not even warmed up yet were about to be halved.
If the system had a screenshot function, Gervis would have taken a screenshot as a souvenir.
Then Gervis set his eyes on the cheating wheel again, and clicked the lottery button without any joy or sadness.
As 10 energy points were deducted, the pointer of the big turntable began to rotate again.
This time, Gervis seemed to have entered the sage time. When the pointer moved, he did not feel nervous and expectant as before. He had been hurt deeply by this crappy system.
Under Gervis's gaze, the pointer of the big turntable moved slower and slower, and finally stopped on a black kiwi fruit!
Gervis watched the pointer move to the black kiwi fruit, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He originally thought that he had been hurt so much by this crappy system that he could remain calm, but he didn't expect that he hadn't reached that level yet.
"If you have a physical body, I will definitely throw you into the toilet and let you know that there will be a price to pay for cheating me!"
Gervis was like an honest man who was abandoned by a bad woman. He was gritting his teeth but could do nothing about it.
Finally, Gervis turned his gaze to the black kiwi he had just drawn, hoping to find some comfort in the function of the black kiwi.
"Black Kiwi: This is a magical kiwi. It can make you fifty times stronger than you are in one hour!"
"Note: This kiwi fruit has side effects. After the one-hour effect ends, you will fall into a three-day period of weakness. Only after the weakness period will your body recover as before!"
"Fifty times stronger than me? Does that mean he's fifty times stronger than me?"
In an instant, the heartache caused by the loss of orange kiwifruit disappeared.
Gervis couldn't even help but sit up from the bed. Although this black kiwi fruit was only effective for one hour, its function was extremely powerful and exceeded Gervis's psychological expectations.
Gervis felt that the effect of this kiwi fruit was stronger than any kiwi fruit he had drawn before.
"This is a real life-saving divine fruit! If my understanding is correct, then to what level should someone who is fifty times stronger than me be? A peak silver knight? A gold knight? Or even a high-level gold knight..."
Because he didn't have a correct understanding of the strength of the Golden Knight and above, Gervis couldn't figure out what realm someone who was fifty times stronger than himself could match.
But there is one thing he knows.
His current strength, combined with various martial arts and magic, is in no way inferior to that of a beginner silver knight.
In other words, after taking this black kiwi fruit, he will have the power of fifty beginner-level silver knights. What a terrifying strength.
This also means that he at least has a chance to save his life!
"This is a piss-off system. You've got to be smart this time! If you have good stuff in the future, you should bring it out sooner! We are in the same boat now! The stronger I am, the more benefits you will get!"
After finally suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gervis muttered something to the system.
From this moment on, he has decided that he will have a good talk with the system before every draw.
After all, he had just scolded the system and threatened to put it in the toilet, but the system gave him such a heavyweight kiwi fruit.
After staring at his black kiwi fruit again, Gervis turned off the system and closed his eyes to rest.
The camp will be moved out tomorrow, and it will be another tiring day.
…
The next morning, when Gervis woke up, the whole camp was noisy again. Everyone must be packing their luggage and equipment, preparing to set off.
Lilia had been waiting outside Gervis' tent for a long time. When she heard Gervis getting up in the tent, she immediately asked at the door. After getting Gervis' permission, she went into the tent to help him change clothes and wash up.
However, today when Lilia was helping Gervis wash and change clothes, there was an inexplicable look in her eyes, as if she was a little confused, and a little obsessed. Yes, it was infatuation!
Of course, as a servant, Lilia didn't dare to look at Gervis most of the time, except for the moment she glanced at Gervis when she entered the tent, so Gervis didn't notice anything unusual about Lilia.
"Sir, the Earl's herald just came and said that he was summoning all the vassals to the tent for a meeting. However, when the herald heard that you were still resting, he did not let me wake you up, saying that the Earl had given instructions!"
After washing up, Gervis stood at the door of the tent fully armed. Ike, who was on duty nearby, immediately stepped forward to report.
“Oh, I see!”
Gervais nodded.
Alice summoned all the vassals probably to inform them of the king's decision last night to divide the troops into two groups.
And I already know the news, so it is very likely that Alice specifically instructed the herald, so it doesn't matter if I can't get through now.
"This cheap wife looks cold, but she is not only beautiful, but also considerate!"
After leisurely finishing his breakfast, Gervis was still preparing to go to the camp where Alice was.
His 120 medical team members have to be entrusted to Alice, and Gervis needs to lead them personally.
In addition to the medical team, Gervis also planned to leave the unicorn with Alice.
Without big guys like the Lord of the North and the King in the team, Gervis felt that if he rode a unicorn into the battlefield, he would definitely be the most handsome guy on the battlefield, but he would also probably be the one who died the fastest.
Therefore, Gervis planned to keep a low profile and temporarily change to an ordinary warhorse. Anyway, when they advance to the heart of the Principality of Alban, the two teams will reunite.
Next, Gervis took the unicorn and the medical team directly to Alice's camp.
When Gervis arrived at Alice's camp, Nadine had already received Alice's order and took the initiative to pick up the 120 girls from the medical team.
As for the unicorn, Gervis needed to hand it over to Alice personally, so he led it directly to the outside of Alice's meeting tent.
When Gervis arrived here, the meeting inside should have ended, and many small nobles were walking out of the tents.
"Viscount Gervis! Good morning!"
"Viscount Gervis! Good morning!"
"Grevith! Why are you so late?"
Gervis stood at the door of the tent, and one by one the vassal nobles walked out of the tent. After seeing Gervis, everyone greeted Gervis in a friendly manner, without exception.
Gervis also returned the greetings to them one by one.
The last one to come out was Fatty Pat. When Fatty Pat saw Gervis, he called out quickly, then stopped and looked at Gervis curiously.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy before?"
When Gervis saw Fatty Pat in such a state, he couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
"Hehe! Gervis, you are as shameless as you are capable! No more talking! I'm going back first! I still have to clean up the camp!"
After being scolded by Gervis, Fatty Pat immediately diverted his attention.
Originally he felt that Gervis was a little different today, but after careful observation he found that he was no different from usual.
Thinking it was just an illusion, Pat simply stopped thinking about it, cursed at Gervis, and prepared to leave.
"Pat, you're jealous!"
Gervis laughed loudly. Seeing that Fatty Pat had gone far away and the little nobles in the tent had almost all left, he walked into the meeting tent.
