Starting from The Witcher, he slaughtered his way across the world.

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the military camp.

After a series of checks, Luo Fan successfully became an auxiliary soldier.

The so-called auxiliary soldiers, also known as miscellaneous soldiers, are a kind of internship period, responsible for tasks such as carrying equipment, feeding horses, cooking, and cleaning.

They had no right to wear armor and carry weapons, and belonged to the lowest-ranking military branch, but it was still much better than their days in the labor camp.

At least you don't have to mine like crazy, and you also have a certain degree of freedom.

Meanwhile, staying in this military camp has another advantage for Luo Fan.

Through the strengthening techniques of body building and spine strengthening, his physical fitness has improved, and he is no weaker than an ordinary guard like Jonas.

In the military camp test, Luo Fan was able to lift a 250-kilogram stone in one go, which was already a good result. Most private soldiers were at this level.

However, a small number of private soldiers could lift boulders weighing 300 to 500 kilograms in one go, and Luo Fan speculated that there should be even more powerful ones.

For example, Marcus, who gave him a sense of danger, made Luo Fan's hair stand on end when his sharp eyes swept over him.

The ordinary people in this world are far more powerful than he knew in his previous life.

Luo Fan is currently all strength but lacks the corresponding combat skills and techniques, making him like a brute who only knows how to use brute force.

He could indeed rely on his solid lower body to wrestle with Kurut, but if it were a life-or-death battle, Kurut would probably kill him without much effort.

In the stable.

Luo Fan sprinkled some hay into the feeding trough. His task for the morning was to feed the horses, and after that, he could go to the training ground to participate in training.

At this moment, he was scattering hay while checking the enhancement panel.

[Current Enhancement Point: 1]

[Currently available upgrades: Old Cloth Shirt, Old Cloth Leggings, Hay, Military Swordsmanship LV1, Guardian Combat Skill LV1]

[Spine Strengthening Technique LV1: Requires 2 Strengthening Points]

"Enhance defensive combat skills!"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Fan made a decision.

[Consume 1 enhancement point to upgrade Guardian Combat Skill to LV2]

As the panel pop-up appeared, a warm current suddenly appeared, slowly flowing from Luo Fan's heart into his limbs and bones. At the same time, his mind gradually gained some experience and feelings about the guard combat technique.

Just like how he personally practiced day and night on the vast military camp drill ground, he finally figured out the tricks and learned some application techniques.

After a while, Luo Fan clenched his fist and felt it. A look of joy flashed in his eyes: "The Guardian Combat Technique can indeed enhance my strength at the same time. Prioritizing its enhancement was the right thing to do."

His gains in the military camp these past two days have been learning two combat skills: military swordsmanship and guard combat techniques.

Military swordsmanship, as the name suggests, refers to swordsmanship commonly practiced in the military, including techniques and combinations such as thrusting, slashing, chopping, parrying, blocking, intercepting, pointing, and twisting.

These are all relatively basic sword techniques, with some combinations between them. To master these techniques, you need to invest a lot of time in practice.

Those who are proficient in military swordsmanship are mostly veterans who have served for many years.

Luo Fan has an enhancement panel that can easily improve his proficiency in military swordsmanship, but he still chooses to prioritize enhancing another skill he has learned.

Defense and combat techniques.

This skill is somewhat similar to the fighting techniques from my previous life, and is suitable for close combat, but it is much more brutal in its moves, with each move aimed at killing.

Both military swordsmanship and defensive combat skills are combat skills that Luo Fan urgently needs right now.

However, in comparison, guard combat techniques are not only a close-combat skill, but also include methods used by the military to train physical fitness.

If basic physical training methods are at most like the Eight Pieces of Brocade or Five Animal Frolics from a previous life, then defensive combat techniques are real methods used by the military to train the body and hone physical fitness.

It specifically trains muscles, physical fitness, and explosive power, and combined with combat techniques, it is a comprehensive skill.

It's more suitable for Luo Fan now.

"The strengthening of the spine and body tempering method cannot be neglected, but now it requires 2 strengthening points at a time, which is not easy to accumulate."

Looking at the enhancement panel, Luo Fan couldn't help but sigh.

The effect of the Spine Strengthening Method is to strengthen his spinal bones, allowing his body to undergo another wave of development without any limitations.

Luo Fan's height is a major disadvantage, but the spinal strengthening method can solve this problem.

Therefore, this skill needs to be further strengthened in any case.

The problem is that each upgrade requires 2 upgrade points.

Although Luo Fan could gain one enhancement point every two days, it was far too slow and could not alleviate his urgent need to improve his strength.

However, if you want to gain more enhancement points, you can only hunt down demons.

Putting aside whether he can find it or not, even if he does, Luo Fan's strength is no match for him.

The ordinary people in this world are much stronger than those in the previous life, but compared to those demons and monsters, they are not even in the same league.

The low-level demonic creature "demon corpse" that Calvin mentioned already possesses a level of defense that makes it impervious to blades and spears. If it didn't have the weakness of being afraid of fire, mortal weapons would be completely unable to harm it.

At his current level, actively seeking out demonic entities is practically tantamount to courting death.

"I'd better keep hiding for now, preferably for ten or eight years. By then, I should be able to slap the demon corpse to death."

Luo Fan knew that this expectation was probably not so easy to achieve. Given his condition, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to survive that long before being driven mad by the illusions that kept popping up.

Moreover, even if he doesn't go looking for the demon, the demon will probably come looking for him.

"Let's not think about that anymore. We're running low on hay in the stable. We should have a chance to go to town today."

After feeding the horse, Luo Fan clapped his hands and realized that the fodder reserves were almost empty, so he immediately went to report this to the person in charge of the operation.

"In that case, go to the city and buy a batch of hay. Remember, the quality must be good. This amount of money is enough to buy three hundred catties of high-quality hay. Any extra will be your tip. Go quickly and come back quickly, don't waste time outside."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with two tufts of beard named Sean, who was the logistics supervisor in the military camp.

He tossed a money bag at Luo Fan, and with a clattering sound of coins inside, it landed in Luo Fan's hand.

"Yes."

Luo Fan responded and turned to walk outside.

On the way, he opened his money bag and looked inside. There were 6 silver coins. According to the exchange rate, if 1 gold equals 20 silver equals 200 copper, then this is 60 copper coins.

This is equivalent to half a month's expenses for a poor family of three.

This was also Luo Fan's first time encountering the currency of this world. Out of curiosity, he opened the system panel to take a look.

[You can consume 1 upgrade point to upgrade a silver coin into a gold coin]

[Currently insufficient enhancement points]
