[Target Character Ability Extraction Prize Pool Locked: Expertise*Self-Restraint, Expertise*Bladework, Expertise*Self-Control, Skill*Wildfire Slash, Skill*Lightning Leap, Mastery*Heavy Weapon Specialization level +1, not exceeding level 6. Would you like to begin the extraction?]

Draw...I'll draw later.

Drawing lots should naturally be taken seriously, and the matters at hand are not yet finished.

Weslin excitedly approached Bai E, demonstrating extreme enthusiasm when facing the first artificial human soldier who had fulfilled the promise he made.

"Well done! My warrior."

Bai E's gaze slid off the other's shoulder.

A slash.

This person was the highest authority in the military base and counted as one of the few top power figures in the entire city.

It seemed that it was he who had spoken up for all the newly created artificial humans yesterday, but Bai E had been in a daze then and couldn't remember the distant details.

But right now, he should display the... "respect" that befits the other person's status.

Bai E's face bloomed with thick apologies, blushing as if he had received an honor he didn't deserve.

"Very good, you must always remember who trained you!"

Hearing Bai E's response, Weslin's smile became even more splendid. He patted Bai E's shoulder forcefully, "Speak up! You can make any request of me, anything!"

Bai E hadn't felt confident about completing the task, but he hadn't missed a single prediction of what would happen after.

Leaving the task reward aside, he had long thought about what he would ask Weslin for.

"I would like to see the world beyond the camp..."

Bai E brought up his wish with a slightly paused tone.

Leaving the camp! That was Bai E's most urgent need.

He needed to understand what the outside world was like... more importantly, there were players outside.

He needed more opportunities to interact with players, whether to understand their origins or to engage in interactions and post tasks.

The feedback rewards from tasks given by players were too generous, and he had experienced the thrill of rocket-like advancement.

Upon hearing Bai E's request, Weslin obviously hesitated for a moment.

"Just that?"

He had braced himself for a significant expenditure, yet the artificial human soldier's request was just this.

The camp was under lock and key management, and without a Leave Camp Certificate, leaving the camp at will was not permitted.

But in reality, it was just for convenience of management.

These artificial human soldiers would never hold any important positions; they were just ordinary grunts. Even if they left the camp, they wouldn't be able to do anything to harm it.

Curiosity about the outside world? That was all too normal.

The first one to meet the challenge requirements just asks for this?

"No problem!"

Weslin agreed instantly, his compliance was quite abrupt.

He then gestured for his aide, "Award him a medal, permitting him to leave the camp at any time."

Bai E's chest thumped with excitement, everything was going unbelievably smoothly.

"Thank you, Sir!"

The sincere thanks made Weslin's mood soar, and he used Bai E as an example to brainwash the other artificial human soldiers opportunistically.

"This is your role model, as long as you do well, I can grant you anything you desire!"

Bai E stood to one side, playing along with the act, seemingly gazing at Weslin's profile with great eagerness, yet in his peripheral vision, he caught sight of a pair of cool, detached eyes.

When he looked directly, the black robe trembled slightly, and a flash of skeptical light appeared then disappeared.

That elf lady?

She was a very strong master; did she have the ability to perceive the thoughts of others?

This thought instantly cooled the agitation in Bai E's heart. His face remained beaming with a smile, but his mind had already calmed down.

"Alright, return to your unit."

"Yes, Sir!"

Bai E had obtained the thing he had long dreamed of—

```

[Bronze Medal #1: As proof of your honor, you may freely enter and exit the "barracks" while you possess this medal.]

Got it!

"Well done!"

Wood was the first to come forward to congratulate Bai E.

Having his own trained soldier be the first among many challenging teams to seize the laurel undoubtedly brought glory to his face.

Not to mention that the achievements of the artificial soldiers he trained would be counted in the assessment of their instructors; the more impressive his artificial soldiers were, the more substantial the reward he would receive after training was complete.

The interests of everyone were aligned.

Bai E's performances, both past and present, had already proven his significant worth, and any relationship usually starts with a need.

"You can visit my home when you have time off from the camp."

He was a natural person with his own family.

Bai E nodded with a smile.

"Definitely!"

After a pause, Bai E took the initiative to ask, "What are we training next?"

Wood looked towards the high platform, waiting to see other artificial warrior soldiers being knocked down by a mysterious master with one move.

There is a higher value in being the sole victor.

Hearing Bai E's question by his side, he answered offhandedly.

"Still physical training, which is the main focus for these days, continuing until lunchtime. After that, you can rest for an hour and a half, then in the afternoon, you'll undergo specialized training."

"Specialized training?"

"That involves strengthening the battlefield abilities related to your talents..."

Wood paused, then turned back to look at Bai E, "I remember your talent is in sharpshooting, right?"

"Right."

"So, it's about enhancing your shooting capabilities, not just your sharpshooting specialization but also the fundamental improvement to your perception attribute is key. It won't be me training you then… Do well, as the training is not just for others, but for yourselves as well. Only by surviving can you experience the broader world!"

"Yes…"

Bai E responded with a hint of emotion.

After a brief exchange, the two ended their conversation; Wood continued to look in the direction of the high platform. A small number of challengers remained, and he was curious to see if any others could achieve the same feat as Bai E.

Standing in the ranks, Bai E remained silent, his thoughts deep.

The lottery card! Here I freakin' come!

When it comes to testing one's character, it's hard not to have an overwhelming sense of excitement.

There were six abilities unlocked in the prize pool—

three specializations, two skills, and one mastery.

Through the link, Bai E could view the respective functions of the six abilities.

[Self-Restraint]is a method for suppressing emotions and thoughts, specially designed to cope with the Elf Race's inherently sensitive senses and thought processes.

In this world where spiritual bodies are projected into higher dimensional spaces coveted by demons, overly active thoughts are absolutely lethal.

Fortunately, human physiology isn't as sensitive as that of the Elf Race, not to mention that the template for Bai E's artificial body includes a trait for dulling thoughts.

This specialization, critical for the Elf Race, isn't of much use to him.

A loss if drawn.

[Sword Technique]strengthens the experience of wielding bladed weapons, which in some ways is similar to a mastery, albeit non-upgradeable; of course, its base effect is also stronger.

[Self-Mastery]governs control over the exertion of physical abilities, bringing inherently wild instincts under the bind of willpower.

It's like breathing; the moment you become conscious of it, automatic turns to manual, and you can control it to be rapid and sharp, or slow and gentle.

It allows for the perfect execution of one's physical abilities, which Bai E feels might be the most optimal option in the draw.

The remaining two skills, one for offense, the other for mobility.

Mastery needs no further explanation.

In Bai E's view, out of the six abilities, aside from [Self-Restraint], the rest are all acceptable.

Furthermore, according to the official website, combinations of related specializations, masteries, traits, etc., enable the possibility of triggering some hidden effects.

For the thrill of the unknown, Bai E is always hopeful.
