Chapter 65 Pyongyang Settlement
[Pyongyang Campaign reputation statistics complete.]
[The battle results have been released.]
[Settlement Scope: Battle of Pyongyang.]
[Participating factions: Ming army, Japanese army.]
[Current battle result: Ming army wins.]
[Starting to tally player contributions.]
When the park's notification appeared, Mo Qin quickly found a low wall and sat down against it.
To avoid getting too excited and fainting from lack of breath.
Lin Jun stood by the wall, head down.
"here we go?"
Mo Qin hummed in agreement.
The next moment, the message unfolded before his eyes.
[Player: Central Nine-Headed Bird.]
[Affiliation: Ming Army]
[Statistics on contributions to the Battle of Pyongyang are in progress...]
[Key Event Involved: Battle for the Flanking Position of Mudanfeng Peak.]
[Key Event Involved: Interception along the mountain assault line.]

[Participate in key events: Maintain the morale of Ming Dynasty players.]
[Key Event: Assisted the Ming army in breaching the northern defenses of Pyongyang.]
[Participated in key events: First to arrive.]
When the words "first to arrive" appeared, Mo Qin's eyebrows twitched slightly.
I stared at those two words for a long time.
I'm starting to reminisce about that moment.
Hmm? When I jumped onto the city wall, I really didn't think that much about it.
The system continued to jump down.
[Base reputation value for the Battle of Pyongyang: 3180.]
[Player detected in the first world to be released.]
[Player has been detected continuously completing high-weight historical events.]
[A player has been detected undertaking high-risk combat duties in this round of the campaign.]
[Player detected to have achieved: First login.]
[Adjustment to the high weighting of newcomer reviews.]
[Final Pyongyang Battle Reputation Value: 6360.]
[Current global cumulative reputation points statistics are in progress...]
Mo Qin's eyes lit up.
"Wow."
Lin Jun could tell something was wrong just by looking at his expression.
"a lot of?"
Mo Qin grinned.
"How so?"
Speak like a human.
"That's enough for me to brag about for a while."
Lin Jun gave him a disgruntled look.
"When have you ever stopped showing off?"
Before Mochin could reply, the world chat channel was already exploding.
The world chat channel has been refreshed.
[Current World Reputation Ranking Updated.]
[First Place: Central Taiwan Nine-Headed Bird.]
[Affiliation: Ming Army]
[Current cumulative reputation points: Leading by a wide margin.]
The channel was initially cleared, but then it started getting flooded with messages.
【anonymous:? ? ? ? 】
[Anonymous: A gap? Damn, I've been a player for five years and I've never seen a newbie like this before?]
[Anonymous: Is the top-ranked player still a nine-headed bird? The Japanese camp has five times the numbers, are they just sitting around doing nothing?]
[Anonymous: What's the use of having more people? He's already breached Pyongyang!]
[Anonymous: Baka! This is just a partial failure!]
[Anonymous: Pyongyang is gone, and you call this a localized area?]
[Anonymous: How many resources did the top-ranked player consume? Did the Ming army faction feed him all the rewards?]
[Anonymous: LOL, the top spot on the leaderboard was earned through sheer hard work, I was there in person! If you're not convinced, go try it yourself!]
[Anonymous: He got there first? He really got there first?]
[Anonymous: What else? You think the system just sent him a "I was here" message?]
[Anonymous: Ming army, don't be too complacent, there's still a long battle ahead.]
Anonymous: You dog, you little devil, you bastard!
[Anonymous: Don't be smug, we'll be at Bi******]
The last message was immediately blocked by an asterisk as soon as it appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a notification appeared.
[WARNING: Malicious spoilers involving historical events have been blocked.]
The channel went silent briefly.
Then things got even more lively.
[Anonymous: Hahahaha! They're in a panic! Someone got banned for spoiling the plot!]
[Anonymous: Even the amusement park couldn't stand it anymore.]
[Anonymous: You can't beat them, so you start looking up strategies, huh?]
[Anonymous: Don't pretend, don't you Ming Dynasty players also know there's a major milestone coming up?]
[Anonymous: Knowing is one thing, saying it is another. Don't you even know what gaming etiquette is?]
[Anonymous: This is a world at war, not your personal forum.]
[Anonymous: Nine-headed Bird, don't be too happy yet, your name will be called in the next round.]
Mo Qin looked at the channel and slowly replied.
[Central Taiwan Nine-Headed Bird: What's the rush?]
[Central Nine-Headed Bird: You crooked-buttocked bunch, none of you can escape! Grandpa will light you all with sky lanterns one by one!]
This statement caused another uproar on the channel.
[Anonymous: Here they come, the Hubei guy is online.]
[Anonymous: The leaderboard was faked from the start.]
[Anonymous: This person has a really sharp tongue.]
[Anonymous: So what if you're a smart aleck? They actually hit it.]
[Anonymous: Why don't you send out someone strong too?]
[Anonymous: To be fair, the Japanese forces in Pyongyang really got blown out.]
[Anonymous: Bullshit! Your Ming army relied on the historical trend!]
[Anonymous: Hey, when we were choosing the Japanese army before, didn't you say that with 15 Japanese troops and 4 Ming troops, we had the advantage and would win? Now you're blaming the historical trend?]
Mo Qin found it hilarious.
Seeing his shoulders tremble slightly from laughing, Lin Jun said calmly:
"You're laughing like a villain right now."
"How is that possible?"
Mochin said seriously, "This is a righteous smile."
"Justice isn't as indebted as you."
"That shows that justice lacks a sense of humor."
Lin Jun ignored him.
The system message indicates that the process is still ongoing.
[Player: Central Nine-Headed Bird.]
[Pyongyang Campaign evaluation in progress...]
[Final rating: Top tier. First to arrive.]
This assessment will be factored into the final global settlement weighting.
[Player has been detected to have achieved a high-level rating.]
[Incomplete enhancement items detected for the player.]
[Player's physical compatibility has met the correction requirements.]
[Special reward triggered.]
Mo Qin's smile froze.
The light screen in front of me began to shrink.
Channels, rankings, and reputation have all been relegated to the margins.
In the very center, only one line of text remained.
[Adaptation enhancements (incomplete) can be corrected.]
[Correction direction: Adaptation and enhancement (standard).]
[Confirm?]
Mo Qin stared at the line of words but didn't say anything.
incomplete...
He had been looking at this word for too long.
From the moment he entered the park, he was followed by those two words.
Originally, it was a choice of three for beginners.
A portable space, a science database, and even a third option that I didn't quite see.
But he did it differently; as soon as the amusement park opened, he confiscated all the newbie perks.
In the end, only a partially enhanced version remained.
To be honest, we were really grateful for this crippled version of the enhancement in the early stages; it made us both strong and durable.
However, the side effects are also quite obvious.
hungry.
I'm so hungry.
After each high-intensity outburst, I feel like I'm experiencing a hypoglycemic episode.
He suddenly laughed.
"Grandpa, I earned this money standing up."
Lin Jun looked up at him when she heard this.
"What?"
Mochin did not explain.
He simply raised his hand and tapped "confirm".
[Confirmation successful.]
[Adaptation enhancement (incomplete) is now being corrected.]
[Under revision...]
The next instant, Mo Qin's body jolted violently.
It's not a feeling of pain.
It felt like a surge of heat flowing through my body, slowly washing over my internal organs.
The chest cavity warms up first, then the shoulders, back, waist, abdomen, thighs, and forearms.
His breathing began to rise and fall violently.
The bones made a slight cracking sound.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Bones and muscles are recombining
My shoulders, arms, and thighs were quickly filled with heat.
In a daze, Mo Qin braced himself against the broken wall beside him.
With a crack, a thin crack appeared on the wall.
I looked down.
His five fingers were actually pressed half an inch into the crack between the bricks.
"..."
Mochin looked at his hands and fell silent.
Liu Gao, who was still dozing off while holding his shield, suddenly looked up when he heard the noise.
"Brother Qin?"
Mo Qin slowly withdrew his hand.
A few pieces of broken brick fell down along the cracks in the wall.
He shrugged his shoulders.
The old clothes he was wearing were noticeably tighter.
His already tall body was reshaped and remodeled.
The skeleton and flesh became firmer and more solid.
When I stood up, I felt a sense of oppression.
Liu Gao's eyes widened little by little.
"Brother Qin."
"Um?"
"Have you grown again?"
Mo Qin stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
He then looked at Liu Gao.
"Yes, this is called secondary development."
Liu Gao looked shocked.
"You're so old, how can you still post that?"
Lin Jun frowned as he looked at the fingerprints on the wall.
"Don't try it here."
Mo Qin was about to raise his hand to feel the force in his body again.
Upon hearing this, he immediately stopped moving.
I looked around.
In the distance, Ming soldiers were moving things. Although no one noticed them, it was still in the city, and there were many people around.
He slowly pulled his hand back into his sleeve.
"clear."
Yan Qi opened his eyes at this moment.
He looked at Mochin for a while and only said one sentence:
"Don't let your feet wander."
Mochin looked at him.
Yan Qi slung the bow back over his shoulder and said something pointed.
"Now that I'm stronger, my steps are more unsteady."
Mochin nodded.
"I've got it."
Lin Jun also lowered his voice and said:
"Your body has changed; all your old power generation habits need to be recalibrated. Especially with a gun."
After listening, Mo Qin looked at her.
Lin Jun felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
Mo Qin said:
"You all look just like my headmaster from my senior year of high school!"
Lin Jun glanced sideways with her beautiful eyes.
"Because you don't look like a good student."
The system prompts continued to appear.
[Adaptation and enhancement fixes complete.]
[Converting adaptive enhancement (incomplete) into adaptive enhancement (standard).]
[Current Enhancement Effect:]
[Physical Fitness: Significantly Improved.]
[Strength: Greatly increased.]
Agility: Significantly improved.
[Resilience: Greatly improved.]
[Anti-infection capability: Further enhanced.]
Pain tolerance: Further improved.
[Adaptability to extreme environments: Further improved.]
[Original negative status correction: The risk of hunger, exhaustion, and muscle tearing after a high-intensity burst of power has decreased.]
[Warning: This enhancement is not equivalent to immortality.]
[Warning: Firearms, heavy armor, internal energy masters, and multiple attackers can still inflict fatal damage on players.]
Mo Qin scoffed when he saw the last two sentences.
The amusement park is still the same amusement park.
He has a foul mouth and his words are unpleasant to hear.
Whether you're invincible or not isn't important; as long as you can become stronger, that's enough.
I need to readjust to this body.
Just then, the amusement park system's settlement process paused for a moment.
The edges of the light curtain, which had been fading away, began to glow faintly again.
A line of very small words popped up in front of Mo Qin.
[Monitoring for abnormal fluctuations...]
[Coordinates: Unknown.]
[Type: Unconventional energy sensing.]
[Relevance Check: There is an unknown response related to the Nine-Headed Bird in the middle of the player's map.]
Mo Qin frowned.
Unconventional energy sensing?
Are you referring to the energy cores in the body?
No, the system says the coordinates are unknown. Could it be...?
I have no clue, I'll stop thinking about it for now.
Mochin kept his questions to himself for the time being.
If I have the chance in the future, I must go there again...
What's more important right now is to find out exactly what my body has become.
Seeing that he was standing still, Lin Jun took a step closer.
"Does the amusement park reward physical enhancement? Are there any side effects?"
Mochin closed his eyes and felt it for a moment.
"Not for now."
Are you hungry?
Mo Qin touched his stomach.
"good."
Upon hearing these two words, Liu Gao immediately asked.
"Is Brother Qin hungry?"
Mochin himself found it strange.
"It's alright, I'm not very hungry."
Liu Gao looked solemn.
"It's over."
"What's over?"
"Are you going to become an immortal?"
Mo Qin kicked him.
Liu Gao tried to block with his shield, but was kicked and slid half a step backward.
He looked down at himself, then at Mochin.
"Damn, it's only been a short while, and Brother Qin has already become so fierce."
Mochin whispered:
"Don't shout."
Liu Gao immediately covered his mouth.
"I understand. Brother Qin has been enlightened by a deity."
He lowered his voice, "I want to too."
Mo Qin ignored him.
Then, the system displayed a second line of rewards.
[Player title detected: Cosmic General.]
[This title has been detected to have a sustained and effective impact during the Battle of Pyongyang.]
[Friendly units near the player have been detected repeatedly maintaining combat readiness in high-pressure battlefield conditions.]
[Title upgrade requirements met.]
[Confirm upgrade?]
Mo Qin's eyes lit up.
"besides?"
Lin Jun looked at him in surprise.
"What is it now?"
This time, Mochin didn't keep us in suspense.
"Halo".
Liu Gao immediately interjected.
"What is a halo? Does it look like a sesame seed cake? Can you eat it?"
Mochin confirmed the upgrade.
Title: Grand General of the Universe.
[Level: Level 1 to Level 2.]
[War Aura Range: Expanded from a radius of five meters to a radius of ten meters.]
[Improved Performance:]
[Original effect: Slightly increases the constitution, strength, agility, and recovery of friendly units within a range.]
[Current effect: Slightly increases the Constitution, Strength, Agility, and Recovery of friendly units within range.]
This effect applies to both players and friendly units in this world.
This effect cannot heal injuries.
This effect is irreversible and leads to death.
[Note: This title is more likely to trigger its effect of exceeding the target level in large-scale warfare environments.]
As soon as Mo Qin finished reading, the surrounding air seemed to breathe.
An invisible aura emanated from him.
Sensing something, Lin Jun frowned first.
Liu Gao also sensed something was wrong.
"what?"
My arms were sore and swollen before.
At this moment, it didn't feel so heavy anymore.
Halfway there, Yan Qi placed his hand on the bowstring, his fingertips pausing for a moment.
He didn't speak, but just looked at Mo Qin.
The three people reacted differently.
Lin Jun was alert.
Liu Gao was surprised.
Yan Qi is confirmed.
Lin Jun said in a low voice:
"I suspected before that you had a passive aura. Now, is the effect enhanced? How large is the range?"
Mochin nodded.
"Ten meters."
Liu Gao looked at Mo Qin, then at himself.
"Brother Qin, could you please not go too far away when you go to war in the future?"
Why?
"I don't know why, but when you stand next to me, I feel like I'm more likely to get stabbed a couple more times."
Lin Jun said calmly:
"Is that all you aspire to?"
Liu Gao said earnestly:
"Being able to take a couple more hits on the battlefield is already quite an achievement."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent for a moment.
The world chat is still going live.
[Anonymous: Has the Nine-Headed Bird reward been settled?]
[Anonymous: Do you want to know the color of your underwear too?]
[Anonymous: Japanese players are starting to check the top-ranked player's gear, lol.]
[Anonymous: The top-ranked player must get tons of rewards, otherwise, it wouldn't take so long to grind in the amusement park.]
[Anonymous: The Nine-Headed Bird is the current answer.]
[Anonymous: What a pity! Our version of the answer died in Pyongyang.]
[Anonymous: Captain Kito isn't dead!]
[Anonymous: Not dead? Then come out and say something.]
[Anonymous: Stop wasting your breath, the Japanese are masters of playing dead.]
Mochin only noticed this when he saw it.
The system used the word "defeat," not "kill."
Damn it, I was just one step away!
Who exactly is that blonde woman?
However, one thing is certain: this woman is an enemy, not a friend; she is most likely a high-ranking member of the Kiku-gakure Society.
Mochin turned off the channel and continued checking.
He was then surprised to find that the park had added a new option: reputation exchange in his inventory.
However, there is only one option on the panel, and refreshing it several times does not change anything.
[Exchangeable Item: Concealed Battlefield Protective Suit]
[Type: Close-fitting protective gear.]
[Protection Standard: Standard puncture resistance, low-velocity projectile attenuation.]
[Note: Effectively reduces damage from swords, short thrusts, shards, slow-moving bullets, and some residual firearms.]
[WARNING: Direct hits from heavy firearms at close range, crossbow bolts, penetrating internal force, and blunt force trauma from heavy weapons can still cause fatal damage.]
[Appearance options are available.]
"Hmm? This kind of benefit?" Mochin pondered.
Close-fitting protection?
My body has just been fully repaired; my skin is thick and my resistance to injury has increased.
Although he can't compare to Wolverine, he's at least more durable than before.
But Lin Jun is different.
She takes the approach of close-quarters combat.
Every time he draws his knife, he has to duck right next to the other person's blade.
It relies on speed and accuracy, especially the ability to anticipate and analyze situations.
But on the battlefield, no matter how accurate your vision is, there will always be a time when you miss something.
If I have to die, once is enough.
Looking at the protective suit, Mo Qin didn't hesitate.
exchange...
The system immediately popped up an appearance selection window.
Men's and women's styles.
Lining, short jacket, close-fitting clothes.
colour.
Ash.
black.
White.
blue.
red.
Mochin stared at it for a long time before finally stopping his finger on the red part.
His reasons are very valid.
Red is festive...
confirm.
[Redeem complete.]
[The stealth battlefield protective suit has been generated.]
The next moment, he had a thin piece of clothing in his hand.
Bright red.
Thin version.
Close-fitting.
As for the style... you can refer to Arctic Women's Thermal Underwear.
Mochin looked down at the object, his expression freezing.
This doesn't seem to be the armor I imagined.
Lin Jun saw it too.
Her gaze slowly shifted from Mo Qin's face to the bright red thermal underwear in his hand.
The air fell silent for a moment, and the scene became slightly awkward.
Liu Gao peeked out.
"What's this?"
Mochin coughed twice.
"This is Xiaoyi."
Lin Jun remained silent for three breaths.
Then he reached out and picked up the garment.
Bright red.
Thin version.
It also has a slightly fitted cut.
She unfolded it first and glanced at it.
Then look at Mochin.
"Mo Qin".
"Um?"
"Why didn't you just give me a veil?"
Liu Gao chuckled, "Brother Lin, you're joking. Two men, what's the point of wearing a veil?"
The next moment, Lin Jun's gaze swept over.
Liu Gao immediately lowered his head, pretending to wipe his shield.
"I didn't say anything."
Mochin tried to explain.
"Great fortune... hahahahaha."
Lin Jun remained expressionless.
"After wearing it, it looks like a big red envelope."
"That's great, it's auspicious!"
"Say it again?"
Mochin wisely changed his wording.
"Hmm, this suit has a high level of protection."
I was asking about the color.
"Hmm, let me explain. Red brightens the complexion and can also uplift your mood. It's easy to feel emo in autumn and winter, and wearing red makes you feel less depressed."
Lin Jun looked at him.
Mo Qin forced himself to continue:
"And look at the quality, it doesn't look like it will pill."
Lin Jun closed his eyes.
"Would women over there wear this to the battlefield?"
Mo Qin thought about it carefully.
"Before the apocalypse, we won't rely on people to fight wars."
Why do you think I'm a good fit?
"I don't know either, I just want to have an extra layer of protection if you encounter any danger."
These words startled Lin Jun.
Mo Qin looked at her, his voice becoming serious.
"You're a close-range fighter."
"Too dangerous."
Lin Jun's fingers paused briefly on the protective suit.
She originally wanted to continue criticizing his taste.
But the words caught in his throat.
She really needs this.
Mochin surprisingly thought of her first.
Lin Jun suppressed her emotions and put on a cold face again.
"If you dare choose this color for me again, I'll hang you on the city wall."
Mo Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does that mean you've accepted it?"
Lin Jun put the red protective suit into his bag.
"The functionality is good."
Mochin looked at her.
Lin Jun added another sentence:
"That color is damned."
"Just to add, I like light colors, especially the gentle Morandi colors."
Although he couldn't understand their conversation, that didn't stop Liu Gao from laughing.
But he didn't have time to lower his head.
Lin Jun looked at him accurately again.
Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Gao picked up his shield and left.
"I'll go check if the pot is boiling."
Mochin smiled happily.
Lin Jun kicked him.
"Don't laugh."
"I didn't laugh."
"You showed Captain Jia's smile."
Mo Qin immediately suppressed the corner of his mouth.
"Captain Jia is a handsome guy who looks just like Daniel Wu! You think highly of me."
Lin Jun snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I'll make sure to improve your aesthetic sense when I have the chance."
Mochin also chose to shut up decisively.
Just then, a familiar yet irritating voice came from afar.
"Who ordered the spicy hot pot again?"
