Chapter 522 System Upgrade!
The kobold had already fallen asleep, but the half of his head that had been burned by Adela's holy light was particularly conspicuous.
"I'll let you escape danger during the day, and I'll use the surgery on you at night!"
Gervis gently took out a hollow iron pipe from his waist. The iron pipe was about half a meter long and the hole in the middle was very small.
After taking out the iron pipe, Gervis found anesthetic wrapped in rags and a pack of needles from his waist.
This fine needle was purchased by Gervis from an ordinary grocery store. It was used by ordinary people to mend tattered clothes. However, Gervis had made a slight modification to it by wrapping a little cotton around the end of it.
This thing was something that Gervis came up with on a whim.
In addition to being generally stronger than humans, orcs also inherited the alertness of wild beasts.
So Gervis wasn't sure if he could sneak into the room quietly without being noticed, so he remembered the scenes in the movies of his previous life and used the blowgun to take the lead.
And the Holy Continent just happened to have paralysis potions prepared by alchemists.
As for why Gervis didn't buy the poison potion, one reason was that the thing was too expensive and Gervis couldn't afford it. Otherwise, the cheap potion would not be able to kill the orcs whose vitality was comparable to that of low-level monsters.
The second is that many highly toxic potions are not fatal on contact with blood, so it is impossible for them to kill orcs silently. As long as one of them makes a big noise, Gervis' plan to harvest energy points will be ruined.
whoosh!
As Gervis inserted the thin needle coated with paralyzing potion into the iron pipe and blew hard, with a "puff" sound, the thin needle flew to the back of the neck of the dog-headed man several meters away.
Because of the anesthetic, when the fine needle accurately pierced the dog-headed man's skin, the dog-headed man did not notice anything and continued to sleep soundly.
Seeing this scene, Gervis finally felt relieved. The next step was to wait for two minutes for the anesthetic to take effect.
…
Two minutes later, Gervais carefully lifted the board on the window and slipped inside.
After entering the house, Gervis quickly took out the triangular spike, and then slowly moved towards the dog-headed man lying on the wooden bed.
Just when Gervis came to the dog-headed man's bed, he suddenly saw the dog-headed man's ears move, as if he had noticed something.
Then the dog-headed man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gervis.
When Gervis saw this scene, he dared not delay and quickly grabbed the quilt beside him and stuffed it into the mouth of the ogre who was just opening his mouth to shout.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Although the anesthetic failed to put the kobold into a complete coma due to the dosage, it still made the kobold's reaction slow.
After Gervis covered his mouth, the dog-headed man still wanted to struggle, but he felt sore and weak all over his body.
Just as it opened its eyes wide in fear, it felt a chill on its body, and then three slight popping sounds were heard in the room.
After a few dozen seconds, the dog-headed man's eyes lost their luster.
"Ding! Gain 1 energy point!"
"Huh! It seems that buying anesthetic drugs was the right choice! Haha, I got the energy points!"
Hearing the prompt from the system, Gervis knew that the ogre was definitely dead, so he simply let go of the hand that was pressing on the quilt, and then he became very happy.
"Well, keep up the good work! The Sacred Continent is truly a treasure land. I am a little reluctant to leave!"
Thinking secretly in his mind, Gervis carefully climbed over the wall again and then went to another window.
Gervis peeked inside and saw that there was a pig-headed man sleeping in the room.
So Gervis did the same thing, shooting the pig-headed man first, then waiting for two minutes before carefully climbing into the house.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
"Ding, system energy points increase by 1!"
Gervis became more and more skilled in assassination. He didn't care whether the people staying in the inn were Gesan's men or not. He would just kill anyone he could.
Because the people staying in this inn are basically foreign orcs, that is, they come from the Orc King's Court.
These orcs are not good people. They are the absolute enemies of humans. If you meet them in the wild, it will be a life-and-death battle in most cases, so Gervis does not have any psychological burden.
"Huh! It's nine o'clock! We've had a good harvest tonight! We'll go back after one more job!"
Gervis looked at the anesthetic in his hand. There was not much left, only enough for a little more than one injection, so he thought about making up the energy points and going back.
After making up his mind, Gervis quietly came to the next window again and looked inside.
However, after seeing the situation inside, Gervis was slightly hesitant. The orc in the room turned out to be the minotaur named Quick.
“Should we do it?”
Gervis was a little confused. This Minotaur was as powerful as a Golden Knight. He was not sure if the same dose of anesthetic could anesthetize the Minotaur.
"If one shot doesn't work, try two!"
After thinking about it, Gervis finally decided to do it. Although there was not much anesthetic left, it was still enough for one and a half injections.
Gervis thought he could give it a try. He would feel uncomfortable if he couldn't make up the number.
As for finding a new target, he would need to climb to the front of the street. There would be one or two pedestrians passing by from time to time, and Gervis was worried about being seen.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Soon two thin needles coated with anesthetic were inserted into the minotaur's skin.
Two minutes later, Gervis carefully crawled into the room and moved towards the minotaur's bed.
puff!
roar!
When Gervis came to the Minotaur's bed, the Minotaur did not notice Gervis' arrival, perhaps because the dosage of the anesthetic was increased.
So Gervis used all his strength to stab the triangular spike into the minotaur's neck.
But just when Gervis thought everything would go smoothly, the Minotaur woke up instantly because of the severe pain.
Gervis was originally on guard, and covered the minotaur's mouth with a quilt the moment he stabbed it. However, the minotaur's strength was unexpectedly great, and was not comparable to that of the kobolds at all.
So the Minotaur's huge roar was still heard.
"Miscalculated!"
Gervis cursed inwardly and began to ignore the situation. He gave up trying to block the minotaur's mouth and instead swung the triangular spike quickly, stabbing the minotaur's neck three more times in a row.
"Ding, energy points increased by 2!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for actively earning energy points to meet the upgrade conditions. The system begins upgrading!"
“It’s rich!”
Just as Gervis was about to turn around and flee, he suddenly heard two system prompts.
The previous depression was instantly filled with excitement.
The system has been upgraded!
This is what Gervis has been looking forward to!
But now is not the time to check the system panel, because he can already hear a loud noise coming from the hotel.
So Gervis rushed towards the window.
Bang! Bang!
Gervis just managed to fly through the window and escape, and the door of the Minotaur Quick's room was also smashed open, and the person who broke in was the half-orc Gesan who had the cultivation of a White Flag Knight.
The half-orc Gesang glanced at Gervis who jumped out of the window, then looked at the minotaur whose bed was covered in blood, and suddenly became furious.
"Quick!"
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"
With an angry roar, Gesan quickly jumped out of the window and chased after Gervis who was running away not far away.
