Chapter 104: 75. Sully’s Invitation_2

Footsteps in the corridor were gradually getting closer.

Noland Lee raised his head and saw Corporal Mars.

“You’re looking quite spirited, Jarvis.”

As soon as Corporal Mars entered the room, he winked at Noland Lee:

“I heard it from Melinda. Hey, you really got some game, capturing Sully’s heart in just a few days. She’s a famous beauty nurse in the Legion Fortress, and I don’t know how many soldiers she’s turned down.”

“Eh? Chief, don’t listen to Melinda’s nonsense…” Noland Lee twitched the corner of his mouth, not expecting his gossip to spread so fast.

Corporal Mars stopped there:

“When you two officially establish a relationship, we’ll have to have a drink…

Alright, let’s talk about something else. You take a shower and change clothes.

Our troops have returned to the Legion Fortress. Next up is a 10-day vacation.

You’re in luck, Jarvis. Your vacation starts today, not the day you entered the

Medical Department.”

While Mars rummaged through the wardrobe for clean military uniforms and placed them on Noland Lee’s bed, he kept talking and sharing his experience:

“In my opinion, there are only three places in the Legion for couples to stroll around. One is the Artificial Garden, located on the first underground level of the fortress. Another is the Private Shop Street, where you can replace many trinkets brought from the Empire’s hinterlands. The last is the Train Restaurant. On the abandoned railway, there are several carriages renovated into restaurants. However, you’ll need New Solon Currency there.”

Corporal Mars glanced at Noland Lee and noticed his troubled face. He shook his head and said:

“I know your identity does not allow you to hold currency, Jarvis, but it’s not absolute. The Empire’s Legal Department does have the ability to bypass you and directly take your spoils of war from Sergeant Alvin Stafford’s hands. However, there is one thing the Legal Department cannot take… that’s military merit. ”

Corporal Mars reached into his shirt pocket, took out a small booklet, and handed it to Noland Lee.

Noland Lee took a look and raised his eyebrows:

“I already have 30 points of military merit? How is this calculated?”

“The detailed calculation method is too complicated; I can only briefly explain it to you.”

Corporal Mars raised his fingers and said:

“Killing the Undead, destroying the magical devices of the Undead Cult, rescuing teammates, dismantling deadly traps, completing reconnaissance tasks, and so on, all these things can earn military merit. Sergeant Alvin and his guards are specifically responsible for recording the performance of each soldier in the corps tasks.”

“Generally speaking, soldiers can only get 10 points of military merit for clearing tasks like Crypt No.1079. You got more merit because you modified the Soul-binding Stone Tomb and the Rune of the Spirit Pivot.” Noland Lee put the small booklet close to his chest, and then asked:

“What’s the use of military merit?”

Corporal Mars laughed:

“There are many uses for it. In addition to exchanging it for New Solon Currency, potions, elixirs, paid vacations, the most important use is to change your army.”

“Alvin’s Army is a very small force, ranking over 30th place within the Legion. The larger your Legion, the fiercer the battles you face, and the more spoils of war and military merit you get after the battles.”

“If you want to save enough money to buy a house on the bustling streets of the Empire’s capital before you retire, you have to work hard during your military service. Spend 100 points of military merit to apply for a better army, and then live to retire, and you can achieve this beautiful wish.”

“Chief, do you plan to apply for a better army?” asked Noland Lee after he changed his clothes.

Corporal Mars waved his hand, signaling Noland Lee to follow him, then shook his head and said:

“No, I’m fine staying in Alvin’s Army.”

“Well, otherwise Melinda would have to worry.”

“Who’s to argue… ah, women are indeed the most lethal.” Corporal Mars’ smile was both sweet and helpless.

Noland Lee followed Mars out of the Medical Department.

Halfway, he saw Sully, who was preparing potions for the wounded.

The two tacitly exchanged glances and then parted ways.

From an objective point of view, Noland Lee felt that his progress with Sully was rapid.

Subjectively speaking, Noland Lee felt that his plan was successful.

No matter whether there was any trickery in Sully’s initiative to approach him, it didn’t prevent him from using Sully to his advantage.

As the saying goes, “withholding the dragon.”

His real goal was to leave the Imperial Army, so he could not openly express his true thoughts.

His infatuation with Sully was a disguise, a testament to his “desire to stay in the Legion for a long time” and a cover-up for his real plans.

“Where are we going, Chief?”

On the steamy streets, Noland Lee walked beside Corporal Mars.

Mars raised his hand and pointed to the city gate in the distance:

“I was supposed to take you to the ‘Refreshing Time’, a hotel specifically for soldiers to have fun. But considering Sully’s presence, you might not want to go there. So, I’ll take you to the camp outside the city to stay. During your vacation, if you don’t want to spend money staying in the fortress, you can go to the camp to sleep. Of course, by the rules, we cannot bring women and alcohol to the camp, so be sure to remember that.”

“Alright, Chief.” “There’s one more thing, Jarvis.”

“What?”
