Chapter 8 System Rewards (New Book Seeking Attention)

  After the arrival of weapons and equipment in Xinghe, Chen Feng did not let the convoy enter the city. Except for some weapons and equipment, all the others were directly transported to Daqingshan.

  With these weapons, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As the war drew closer and closer, there was less and less time left for Chen Feng to train, so he couldn't care about hiding his light under a bushel anymore. He immediately re-equipped all members of the security team, regardless of whether they had guns before or not, this time uniformly issuing one Mauser 1924 rifle per person.

  Chen Feng chose this rifle simply because the so-called Zhongzheng rifle of the National Government was actually a copy of this rifle, so the Zhongzheng rifle is actually the Mauser 1924 rifle. In order to get ammunition replenishment in the future, Chen Feng had no choice but to choose this rifle. If it were up to personal preference, Chen Feng still liked the Mauser 98K best, and its performance was not comparable to that of the Japanese Type 38 Arisaka rifle.

  However, the Mauser 98K had just been listed in Germany and was a standard weapon of the German army, so it was impossible to export. Under helplessness, Chen Feng had no choice but to choose the inferior Mauser 1924 rifle.

  To enhance the cohesion of the troops, Chen Feng also deliberately held a gun-granting ceremony. With less than four months to go before the full-scale outbreak of the war of resistance against Japan, whether it is possible to train a truly anti-Japanese crack troop in these four months depends on whether this batch of weapons and equipment can play their role.

  After the handover ceremony of the security team, Chen Feng also held a handover ceremony for the troops on Daqing Mountain and made detailed arrangements for the defense issues on the mountain. There are now large quantities of weapons and equipment on the mountain, in addition to food, which must not be lost at all costs.

  In addition, Chen Feng also ordered Old Man Chen to order all the shops of Chen's Grain Store to immediately cash out their last storefronts and the grain protection team to return to the Chen Family Mansion immediately.

  Of course, Chen Feng also couldn't forget to let Chen Bing Gong inform his cheap mother to hurry back to Xinghe. Firstly, he was worried about the safety of his own mother, and secondly, Chen Feng was currently in short supply of war horses. Although Chen Feng's soul was a counterfeit, this body was the real deal. Since Chen Feng had stolen someone else's body, he had to bear the responsibilities that this body should undertake. Moreover, Chen Feng also discovered that this body had a significant impact on his emotions.

  After the reorganization, the troops' momentum was indeed different. Although the Security Regiment had only over a thousand people, in terms of firepower configuration, it was not inferior to an enhanced regiment. The entire regiment was equipped with 624 rifles, 24 light machine guns, 12 heavy machine guns, and two mortars. Such firepower configuration is more luxurious than that of an enhanced regiment of the Central Army, at least in terms of light and heavy machine guns, the Central Army cannot be compared to Chen Feng's Security Regiment.

  Due to realistic factors, Chen Feng cannot integrate all the resources in his hands. Otherwise, with more than 4,500 troops in Chen Feng's hands, they can be integrated into an infantry brigade, and it is still a luxurious infantry brigade in terms of equipment.

  However, Chen Feng was delighted that after the cavalry regiment's war horses arrived, his mind suddenly prompted him that the task of rebuilding the Security Regiment had been successfully completed, and the reward system was activated.

  Chen Feng dealt with the matters at hand and immediately returned to the Chen family mansion, locking himself in his room and forbidding anyone from disturbing him.

  As soon as he was alone, Chen Feng immediately opened the system screen and saw a table-like thing in the task bar. The first row was the serial number, the middle was the task summary, and the last was the completion status.

  Chen Feng took a look at his first system task, and saw that the completion status displayed behind was "Completed", with a small parenthesis next to it, which clearly read "Exceeded". It seemed that the system was very satisfied with Chen Feng's completion of his first task.

  After opening the system reward, Chen Feng was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw that after clicking on the reward panel, a large turntable appeared inside. This turntable is divided into three circles, with the outermost circle having 5 major items: personal equipment, base construction order, personal strengthening, ordnance construction order, and personal skills.

  Under each major item there are five sub-items, and these 25 sub-items form the second circle of the compass. Inside the second circle is a long pointer.

  At this time, the system's intelligent sprite prompted: "Since the host has fully contacted the system for the first time, the system rewards the host with a lottery draw. Since the host completed the system's side task 'Rebuilding the Security Team', the system rewards the host with a lottery draw. Since the host exceeded the task, the security team personnel is twice the original number, and the equipment far exceeds the previous security team, so the system rewards the host with a lottery draw. Does the host want to proceed with the lottery immediately?"

  After listening to the prompt from the intelligent sprite, Chen Feng suddenly understood a bit. The turntable in front of him should be a lottery device. Wherever the pointer points, that's what the prize should be. If it's really like this, then he'd better take a good look at these options.

  He took a rough look at the five major items, but didn't examine the specific sub-items. Under personal equipment, there were five sub-items: Alloy Steel Helmet (Manufacturing Date 1990 AD), Bulletproof Vest (Manufacturing Date 2000 AD), Military Combat Boots (Manufacturing Date 2000 AD), Special Forces Uniform (Manufacturing Date 2007 AD), and Super Shield (Manufacturing Date 2008 AD).

  The base construction order includes the following five sub-items: Fortification Construction Order, Air Defense Cave Construction Order, Mining Field Construction Order, Power Plant Construction Order, Cement Factory Construction Order, Steel Mill Construction Order.

  Individual strengthening of the following five sub-items are: Strength increased by 2 times, Agility increased by 2 times, Intelligence increased by 2 times, Spiritual power increased by 2 times, Overall quality increased by 2 times.

  The construction of the arsenal includes the following five sub-items: Rifle production line (model: Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle), Machine gun production line (model: Czech BZ26 light machine gun), Heavy machine gun (model: Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun), Hand grenade (model: China's 18th Army border area manufacturing), Mortar production line (model: Soviet 80mm mortar).

  Personal skills: The following five items are: Primary cooking, Intermediate English, Primary Japanese, Primary Military Theory, Intermediate Combat.

  After reading through these options, Chen Feng was somewhat confused. Why were all the personal equipment super-era items? There wasn't a single piece of equipment produced during the Anti-Japanese War period. Why were the weapon models listed in the military construction order so miscellaneous, with some from Little Japan, some from the Soviet Union, and even the Border Region-made ones from the Eighth Route Army had been brought out. Damn it, if he really drew the Border Region-made one, Chen Feng wouldn't know what to do.

  He had long heard about the performance of the hand grenades made by the Eighth Route Army in the border area, and the power thrown out was not as great as the power smashed on the enemy's head. After the explosion, the shell would only explode into two halves, with extremely limited power.

  Chen Feng knew that no one would answer his questions here, although this unlucky dog system had a smart spirit, but the guy was just a passive program, and you could only feel its existence when it spoke actively. If you have any doubts, it generally won't respond.

  "System timeout, would you like to proceed with the lottery immediately, host?" The intelligent sprite prompted once again.

  "Let's draw lots immediately!" Chen Feng said decisively.

  All he saw was the pointer on the big dial on the screen starting to spin rapidly, very fast. Chen Feng waited for two minutes and didn't see the pointer stop, so he tentatively shouted "Stop".

  As expected, the pointer began to slow down. If Chen Feng now wants the most urgent reward, it is undoubtedly the ordnance construction order. Whether it's a rifle or a machine gun, or even an artillery shell, they are all what he needs. The second is the base construction order, which is also what he needs. Those factories and factories, if he starts building them now, will really take some effort.

  But contrary to Chen Feng's expectations, just as he thought the pointer would stop at the base construction order, it slowly slid past the steel mill option in the base construction order and finally stopped at the 2x power boost option in personal strengthening.

  Before Chen Feng could react to the result, he suddenly felt his muscles swelling, and his whole body seemed to have endless strength. Chen Feng knew that this was definitely the system reward taking effect on him, and a 2-fold increase in strength was quite noticeable.

  "The host still has two chances left, would you like to proceed with the next lottery immediately?" The intelligent sprite reminded once again.

  "Enter now for your chance to win!"

  This time, Chen Feng stopped before the pointer had fully spun around at high speed. He hoped it would stop on the adjacent "Military Engineering Order". Unfortunately, due to a calculation error, Chen Feng watched as the pointer slid past the Military Engineering Order option and finally landed on "Basic Cooking".

  Chen Feng was tragic, feeling that his brain had suddenly filled with many recipes, and he also knew a lot of cooking skills. Chen Feng dared to confirm that as long as he was willing, he could become the head chef of a five-star hotel without any problem. But what's the use? The war is raging, those who can play with knives are not as good as those who can play with chopping boards. Even if the dishes are cooked well, they can't make you a general, and those who can play with chopping boards may still be able to survive in this chaotic world.

  Just now, due to a calculation error, he ended up with a useless skill and wasted an opportunity to draw a prize. Chen Feng secretly calculated that just now, the pointer had spun for less than 5 seconds before he stopped it, and the pointer had spun through a total of 8 small items. If he had waited for 5 seconds, he would have drawn the Super Shield from the personal equipment; at 10 seconds, he would have drawn Intelligence Doubled; and if he had stopped at 15 seconds, he would have drawn another chance to draw an Elementary Cooking skill.

  After some thought, Chen Feng believed that as long as he could keep the time between 6 to 8 seconds or 11 to 13 seconds, he would be able to stop the pointer on either the Base Construction Order or the Arms Manufacturing Order. However, considering that the longer the time, the greater the error, Chen Feng decided to aim for around 6 seconds.

  "Set aside all the clutter in your mind," Chen Feng said loudly, "Let's proceed with the third round of lottery immediately!"
