397 The might of the Razor Sharp Company (1/2)

After every big battle, there would always be rewards to reap. Zhang Xiaoman's men had finished firing all their mortar shells with just a few rounds of artillery bombardment. But it didn't matter to them as the bandits on Mt. Dingyuan turned out much more well-armed than they had imagined.

These things were not even worth much to an organization like the Zong Consortium.

They had almost finished expending their bullets as well. 7.62 mm bullets were most commonly used here in the Northwest, so plenty of them could be found at the bandit lair.

How much ammunition could be expended in a single battle? That was an incalculable amount. If you included the bullets used in training, it was likely that thousands or even tens of thousands of bullets would be expended just to down one person in battle.

This counting was purely based on data. Most of the time, the number of bullets expended using suppressive fire was probably much higher.

After Zhang Xiaoman and the others brought out all of the ammunition from the bandit lair on Mt. Dingyuan, the soldiers went to retrieve the empty magazine that had been tossed aside during the battle and reinserted fresh bullets.

Zhang Xiaoman sighed emotionally. ”How satisfying it is to take this entire mountain fort by ourselves. All the spoils of war are ours to keep. Wait a minute, why aren't there any grenades here again?”

Everyone only realized it now that the company commander mentioned it. ”Looks like it. We only found some individual grenades on the bandits and have not seen an entire box of them yet.”

”The bandits on Mt. Dingyuan aren't even poor, so why can't we even find a full box of grenades?!”

When Ren Xiaosu, who was standing a distance away heard this, he felt so guilty he did not say anything. Actually, there were as many as ten boxes of grenades here, with each filled with 20 grenades. But he had already put all of them in his storage space.

All of a sudden, the voice from the palace said, ”Quest complete. Awarded five attribute points. You can distribute them as you like.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. As expected, the rewards were much better for a more challenging quest like the one with a progression percentage!

However, he had only completed 90% of the quest in which he had to help his comrades lessen their burden. Why did it suddenly jump to a 100%?

Wait a minute, was it due to the ten boxes of grenades? By putting those grenades into his storage space, it could also be counted as helping his teammates lessen their burden?

Ren Xiaosu, who was always taking advantage of any loopholes in the palace's requirements, was shocked. It could even be done like that?

He had already stuffed six boxes of grenades into his storage space at Mt. Guan. But since there was no alert for the completion of the quest, he did not notice the quest progression had ticked up. If he did, he would have finished the quest at that time.

Ren Xiaosu was more than happy to help his comrades lessen their burden!

He evenly distributed three points to Strength and two points to Dexterity. His Strength now reached 13.5, while his Dexterity was at 12.1.

From these attributes alone, Ren Xiaosu's current fitness was already more than four times that of a normal adult male.

However, Ren Xiaosu was looking forward to whether a new skill would emerge when his Strength and Dexterity hit 20 much more. Like the ”City Crusher” powerup with a duration of 30 seconds that he had gained after surpassing 10 points in both those attributes. Perhaps there would be a qualitative change every time it exceeded a threshold?

…

While heading down the mountain, everyone in the Razor Sharp Company had their arms full of supplies. If they could move those two howitzers as well, Zhang Xiaoman would probably have dragged them all the way back to the forward operating base.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoman used the TNT to blow up the muzzles of the two howitzers' barrels. This was to prevent the Zong Consortium's people from using them again.

Under normal circumstances, they would rather choose to destroy large siege weapons on the battlefield that were less mobile instead of spending great effort to take them away.

On their way down the mountain, a fellow soldier suddenly thanked Ren Xiaosu when he walked past him before continuing on as though it were nothing.
