The data on the panel has been updated.

[Skill - Beast Transformation (Advanced)]

[Skill - Beidou Navigation (Intermediate)]

[Skill - Indestructible (Advanced)]

[Host detected to have acquired the rank of Major; 100 free attribute points awarded]

[Currently available free attribute points: 100]

"100 points!"

"It turns out that the reward for the rank of major is equivalent to a first-class merit."

The system's reward was a bit beyond Chen Rong's expectations. He originally thought it would be the same as when he was promoted to lieutenant and captain, just an increase of 10 points.

Now that the reward has arrived, the next step is naturally to upgrade and see if the advancement in first aid skills can restore my eyesight.

To be honest, Chen Rong didn't have high hopes for the potion he bought from Tian Du.

He knows very well the extent of his optic nerve damage, and given his current physical condition, he's probably already immune to all medications, whether positive or negative.

Start adding points!
Chen Rong immediately added 10 points of free attribute to the first aid skill.

[Should I upgrade the First Aid skill?]

"Yes!"

The next moment, the panel began to refresh.

Rank: Major

[Military Merits: Commendation x1, Third-Class Merit x11, Second-Class Merit x6, First-Class Merit x3, National Medal x5]

[Skill - Friend or Foe Identification (Advanced)]

【Skill - Quick Intervention (Beginner)】

[Skill - Hypnosis: Index 57]

[Currently available free attribute points: 90]

In an instant, Chen Rong felt a surge of medical insights flooding his mind, and he had a vague sense of having glimpsed something.

"Immediate treatment? What do you mean? This seems completely unrelated to first aid!"

Looking at the name of the new skill, Chen Rong couldn't guess its meaning from the words alone, and with doubt in his mind, he focused his attention on the skill bar.

Soon, detailed skill descriptions appeared.

Your first aid skills have reached a new level. Based on this, you can quickly determine the cause of illness and deduce the pathology in most patients.

[Quick Strike is an active skill; in the initial stage, the skill can be activated for a maximum of 2 hours per day.]

[30 Free Attribute Points are required to advance to the next stage]

Chen Rong was somewhat disappointed: "That's it?"

Although the skill description suggests that quick diagnosis is indeed incredibly powerful, allowing one to determine the cause and pathology of a disease without the aid of any external aids, it doesn't help my current situation at all.

Chen Rong's biggest wish right now is to get his eyes cured.

"Let's try out this new skill."

Skill - Quick Cut, activated!
Please select the diagnostic subject.

"Myself."

[Please observe or touch yourself for more than 3 seconds.]

"They have quite a few requirements..."

Chen Rong made a comment and touched his eyes for a while.

Soon, the panel displayed the diagnosis results.

Blindness caused by damage to the optic nerve

"Your diagnosis is quite accurate, but unfortunately it's not very useful to me."

The only consolation for Chen Rong right now is that after retiring from the military, he can become a doctor and a truly legendary physician.

"Since the beginner level isn't working, let's upgrade it."

Add more!

Rank: Major

[Military Merits: Commendation x1, Third-Class Merit x11, Second-Class Merit x6, First-Class Merit x3, National Medal x5]

[Skill - Quick Diagnosis (Intermediate)]

[Skill - Hypnosis: Index 57]

[Currently available free attribute points: 60]

"Hmm, judging from the name, this skill seems pretty reliable!"

With anticipation, Chen Rong immediately clicked on the skill description.

Having seen thousands of cases, you are now skilled at providing targeted treatment plans based on each patient's specific situation.

[Quick diagnosis is an active skill; in the initial stage, the skill can be activated for a maximum of 4 hours per day.]

[100 Free Attribute Points are required to advance to the next stage]

"Then what are you waiting for? Tell me quickly how to treat this situation!"

Skill - Quick Diagnosis, activated!
Please select the diagnostic subject.

"Me! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Based on current medical advancements, it is recommended that the patient receive injections of gene-based drugs that can repair nerves, with a success rate of 30%.

"Depend on!"

Chen Rong cursed and lay down on the bed.

To be fair, the skill is indeed a good skill, and it would be incredibly useful in other situations, but it still doesn't offer any real help to his own eyesight.

Given the current situation, there are only two possibilities for regaining my sight.

First, the gene serum really works; second, continue upgrading your skills.

However, I only have 60 points of free attribute remaining, and I need 40 more points to upgrade to an advanced skill.

Given Chen Rong's current condition, the military and hunters will not continue to assign him missions until his eyesight is restored, thus losing the possibility of gaining free attribute points through military merits.

"Does that mean we have to wait until we're promoted to lieutenant colonel and then rely on rank rewards for promotion?"

After the thought popped into his mind, Chen Rong quickly dismissed it.

Putting aside whether there's any possibility of being promoted in my current situation, even if there were, who knows when that would be!
"Is this the end of my extraordinary life?" Chen Rong thought to himself, jokingly.

Even if I possess ten skills, being blind prevents me from performing missions. At most, I can only serve as a training instructor for others, like I did last time in Russia.

and many more!

Chen Rong sat up abruptly. "After the training, I couldn't say anything because the hunter refused to pay me, since he helped me get promoted to major. But shouldn't the Russians at least offer some kind of compensation?"

Skill - Beast Transformation, activated!
After forcibly summoning Xiao Heizi, who was causing trouble in the woods outside the base, back to his room, Chen Rong got out of bed and opened the door.

. . .

. . .

It was around 10 p.m., and the lights inside the base were already off.

After washing up, Chen Ai was still worried about Chen Rong, so she brought a bag of fruit and decided to visit him at the infirmary.

Unexpectedly, I saw a person and a dog sneaking along the wall towards the dormitory from afar.

"Where are you going so late at night?" Chen Ai blocked her way. "Didn't Uncle Qi tell you to stay in bed and rest?"

Chen Rong hadn't expected Chen Ai to still be awake at this hour, so he said, "I suddenly remembered something and need to make a phone call."

"Who are you calling so late? Isn't there a landline in the infirmary?"

"I need to go to my dorm to get my satellite phone; the landline can't make calls to the internet."

"I have some, come to my place."

"Sis, no need, the dorm is just ahead..."

Before Chen Rong could finish speaking, he felt Chen Ai take his hand.

"Why do I feel like you're acting suspiciously? Who are you trying to call?"

"Sofia."

Instantly, Chen Rong sensed a murderous intent emanating from his side and quickly changed the subject.

"Sis, don't get angry easily when you're on your period, it's bad for your health. Besides, your liver isn't good to begin with! I have something important to discuss with Sophia!"

"Since it's serious business, then make the call in front of me..."

Chen Ai suddenly paused halfway through her sentence and looked at Chen Rong, "How did you know about my menstrual cycle, and how did you know that my liver is not healthy?"

Little did she know that Chen Rong had already activated his rapid diagnosis skill the moment his hand was held.

Chen Rong didn't answer, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, this is a minor problem. Tomorrow I'll go to the mountains to collect some herbs. Just take the medicine as I told you, and it will be cured in six months!"

Chen Ai looked surprised: "Herbal medicine? You know traditional Chinese medicine? Who taught you?"

"Self-taught."

"Alright, I'll go with you to gather herbs tomorrow."

"Sister, aren't you worried that I'll make things worse by treating you?"

"Of course I'm not worried!"

"Oh!"

The two chatted and soon arrived at Chen Ai's dormitory. Chen Ai took out her satellite phone: "Give me your number."

Chen Rong gave out the number, and Chen Ai dialed it before handing the phone over: "You remember the number quite clearly."

Chen Rong: "..."

Just as he was about to explain his good memory, Sofia's excited voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"Is that you, King Yama? Why are you calling me? Do you miss me?"

Chen Rong's expression froze; he knew without even looking that Chen Ai's face must be looking terrible.

"Um...Sophia, how did you know it was me?"

"Because besides my dad, only you know this number!"

"Oh! Well, there's something I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Look, didn't I spend over a month as an instructor at your Russian Beihai base? And help you train a large number of excellent pilots?" Chen Rong asked earnestly.

Sofia: "Yes!"

Chen Rong: "So, does that mean I've made outstanding contributions to the diplomacy between the two countries?"

Sofia: "???"

Chen Ai looked at Chen Rong with a strange expression, wondering why he suddenly brought this up.
"King Yama, just say what you want to say. I'm not an outsider," Sophia asked.

Chen Ai pouted and vigorously rubbed Xiao Heizi's body with both hands.

Chen Rong: "Then I'll be blunt. Could you talk to your father and ask him to award me another peace medal from your country?"

"Oh? This? But you can only receive the Peace Medal once!"

Sofia said with difficulty, "You already have one, so I can't give you any more medals."

"Oh, that's all, goodnight!"

Snapped!
After hanging up, Chen Rong handed the satellite phone to Chen Ai, looking disappointed: "Sister, you should go to sleep early too. I'm going back now."

He then gestured for Xiao Heizi to go out and lead the way.

Chen Ai pulled Chen Rong aside and asked curiously, "Why do you want that peace medal?"

"I can't just work for nothing, can I? The hunter won't even give me a third-class merit, he should just shut me up!" Chen Rong said irritably.

Chen Ai finally asked the question that had been bothering her: "Xiao Rong, why are you so obsessed with earning merit? Your chest must be covered with medals by now."

In fact, not only Chen Ai, but many people around her also found Chen Rong's behavior incomprehensible.

After all, he is already a first-class meritorious officer and is still a major, but now he is unwilling to even give up an award.

It's as if the King of Hell has a peculiar hobby of collecting military medals.

"Sister, I need military merits."

"What is the use?"

"Maybe it can cure my eyes!"

For some reason, Chen Rong suddenly blurted out the truth.

Chen Ai was taken aback at first, then felt it was absurd. What did military merit have to do with treating eyes?
"Are you serious?" However, Chen Ai knew Chen Rong well and knew that the other party would not joke like this, so she asked again.

Chen Rong nodded.

"Didn't you just get a gene injection today?"

"Uncle Qi said it would take at least a week to see any results, but I feel the chances of it being cured are slim."

"Then I'll go ask my brother for it!"

Chen Ai thought for a moment and said, "If the gene serum doesn't work in a week, I'll help you get it. Anyway, it's what you deserve!"

"Thank you, sister!" Chen Rong smiled immediately.

It feels so good to be pampered and have everything I want!
He knew that when Chen Ai addressed him as "Hunter Brother," she meant she was preparing to act in her sister's name.

Who doesn't know that hunters are easily outmaneuvered by Chen Ai?
As for guilt, Chen Rong felt absolutely none.

Chen Ai was right. Given what he did in Russia, getting a third-class merit award would be a piece of cake.

The hunter refused to give it to Chen Rong simply because Chen Rong was already a major, and he had already accumulated a great deal of military merit, so the other party felt it was unnecessary.

Faced with the choice of giving or not giving, the hunter naturally chose the latter.

In fact, Chen Rong knew that the hunter did this partly because he didn't want Chen Rong to be too proud, but the other party didn't know how important military merit was to him!

Things like this can't be discussed openly.

. . .

. . .

For the rest of the time, Chen Rong, being a patient, didn't need to participate in training. He spent his days wandering around the mountains with his hawk-hound team and Huang Guoshan, collecting herbs for Chen Ai, which he would then brew and give to her.

As time went by, Qi Tian came over every day to check Chen Rong's eyes.

A week later, Chen Rong's eyes showed no signs of improvement.

That afternoon, Chen Rong was suddenly called back by Xu Ke.

Upon entering the base, Chen Rong immediately sensed a distinct change in atmosphere. Two more transport planes were now on the tarmac, and the camp was bustling with activity.

"I'm taking a group to Africa tonight. You'll stay at the base and temporarily take charge of the daily life and training of the others," Xu Ke said as he packed his things in the dormitory.

Chen Rong was taken aback: "Are the second and third companies going too?"

The hunter put himself in charge temporarily, which means he's going to take Mao Xiaomao and Huang Ping with him.

“Each of you send a group of soldiers, but the two company commanders will also be going,” Xu Ke replied.

"Hunter, what's going on in Africa?"

"The war has escalated. A special elite unit has suddenly appeared in Congo, dedicated to assassinating military commanders of the Thousand Hills Kingdom. Sirius's assault battalion has already suffered casualties!"
