I'm looking forward to Chapter 990.
The data flow on the system interface seemed to freeze for a moment, and the tiny specks of light representing the settlement of merit points quickly dimmed and receded, as if they were covered by a larger and more fundamental torrent.
The interface itself has also begun to be reconstructed. It is no longer a clear list and number, but has been transformed into a deep, dark blue background that seems to be made of pure energy. The information that emerges on it no longer emphasizes specific "points", but is presented in a more abstract, more essential energy level and permission identifier.
The system seems to be adjusting its "language" to suit Zhou Zhengqing's way of thinking.
【Ding. 】
The system's response sound seemed to be a bit lower, less mechanically crisp, and more deeply resonant.
[Note: The Merit Point System is a way to quantify the "causal disturbance effect" of host intervention behavior based on multidimensional variables, historical disturbance intensity, causal chain correction magnitude, life trajectory preservation, and change quantity.]
Its main function is to facilitate the host's understanding and decision-making.
Its essence is a special energy certificate transformed from the "causal disturbance" caused by the host's behavior and formatted by the system rules.
A line of text, shimmering with a faint light, stands out against a dark blue background, like a title outlined by stars:
[Current System Overall Energy Level Assessment Report]
Following this, the evaluation content was expanded to a more macro-level perspective:
Energy core state:
Current status: Moderately full. Stable value: 48.7%.
State Change Description: Energy levels have achieved a leap forward, from a crisis state of maintaining basic existence and minimal operations to a sustainable state with significant proactive intervention capabilities.
Analysis of the magnitude of improvement and energy source:
Major energy injection event: Code name: NJ-.
Energy quality and quantity assessment: This event drastically altered the predetermined course of a major historical juncture, triggering extremely strong and far-reaching ripples of causal correction.
The "perturbation energy" generated by this correction effect has extremely high "purity" and "density," injecting a massive amount of high-quality primordial energy into the system.
The energy harvest from this operation far exceeded the total of all previous small-scale interventions combined.
The core operational permissions currently supported by energy reserves (summary):
1. Maintaining the existing existence and basic operation and maintenance: The energy consumption is extremely low, and only the amount of energy naturally dissipated is needed to maintain the existence of the host and the operation of the system's basic functions in the long term.
2. Can summon permanent "Advanced Era" reinforcement units with significantly abundant energy, supporting the deployment of larger or more elite tactical squads.
3. Exchange for "Advanced Era" Equipment/Technology Blueprints: The variety and quantity of exchangeable items have significantly increased, and the scope of technology unlocking has been broadened.
For example, individual weapons: can be exchanged for more advanced semi-automatic rifles, early assault rifle concept prototypes, high-performance sniper rifles, and prototypes of general-purpose machine guns, etc.
Support equipment: basic frequency-hopping radio communication equipment, portable battlefield reconnaissance equipment, improved explosives, high-performance medical kits, basic antibiotic preparation technology, etc.
Industrial technologies: Specific chemical formulations, such as high-performance explosives, synthetic fuels, simplified radar technology blueprints, and internal combustion engine improvement plans. (Note: Technology diffusion must be approached with caution to avoid triggering uncontrollable technological leaps.)
Upon seeing the second item, especially the words "Super Era" reinforcement unit, Zhou Zhengqing's half-closed eyes suddenly snapped open, a sharp, hawk-like glint flashing deep within his pupils.
His body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the smooth tabletop.
"A 'future-inspired' reinforcement unit?" He repeated the imaginative phrase unconsciously, his previous fatigue and boredom replaced by intense curiosity and strategic considerations.
"Explain in detail! Is this the same combat unit as the 'Makarov Squad'? Does this mean... I can summon another tactical squad?"
Countless cultural symbols from the world he came from before his time travel flashed through his mind in an instant.
Those characters who have been given legendary status in literature, film, and games.
If they could be "summoned" to this real world, even with limited power, the tactical diversity, special skills, and even the disruptive impact on morale that they might bring would be immeasurable.
[It can be understood in such a simple way.] The system's response carried a hint of human-like helplessness in its electronic sound, as if dealing with a student whose thinking was too unpredictable.
The system can capture and anchor other "narrative universes"—that is, "character concepts" with powerful influence in the fictional world perceived by the host—and "realize" their core traits and abilities in a form that conforms to the physical rules and technological foundations of this spacetime, and project them into the current dimension. However, strict limitations must be followed:
The system interface then refreshed, displaying a list of impersonal terms and conditions:
[Causal Load and Energy Consumption: The more a being deviates from the logic and technological level of this spacetime, the more exponentially the energy required to summon it.]
A strong thought flashed through Zhou Zhengqing's mind, and he asked with a mixture of expectation and probing, "Then... could we summon the team that rescued Yao Ziqing in Baoshan before, the 141st task force from 'Mission'?"
"Money, Soap, Ghost, them?"
However....
[Request rejected. The host is overthinking it.]
The system's response was swift but indifferent, without the slightest hesitation.
[Task Force 141 is a highly conceptualized modern special forces unit. Preliminary estimates suggest that maintaining its stable deployment and presence requires approximately 500,000 merit points. The host's current energy reserves are far below this threshold.]
"Tsk!" Zhou Zhengqing couldn't help but click his tongue, a strong sense of disappointment welling up in his heart: "Didn't you bring over Makarov's private guard for me?"
"You gave me all the villainous characters as a newbie gift pack, so why do the main characters need so many merit points when it comes to Task Force 141, which represents the 'justice' side?!" His tone was tinged with resentment and mockery.
system.......
"Alright, let's not rush this summon. We don't need it right now. Anyway, we have over 200,000 merit points. Even if we can't summon a permanent one, we can still summon a temporary one a few more times."
Zhou Zhengqing had also come to terms with it. He stopped studying the system and turned his attention back to the map of China on the opposite wall, his gaze becoming profound.
"How will the Japanese mainland, especially the high-ranking military officials, the imperial family, and the nobility, react to our Commander Takasaki Takuto's series of 'treasonous' actions? I'm quite looking forward to it..."
