Chapter 61: High-level Lottery

Lin Yu leaned back in his office chair, opened the system panel to check the data.

【Current Toughness: 2600 points】

"That's it?" he snorted, tapping his fingers on the desk. "Five thousand-plus Eastern devils, one consul, and that's only worth two thousand points?"

The system interface remained icy cold, with no response.

Lin Yu stood up and walked to the window. In the distance, black smoke still swirled—traces of last night's battle. The German-equipped Regiment's heavy machine-gun fire, the Security Regiment's concentrated shooting, the Military Police's ambush tactics... every link was practically perfect.

"Tsk tsk," he muttered, shaking his head, "Wiping out a regiment earns two thousand points—so taking out a division would surely be worth at least ten thousand, right?"

Turning back to his desk, Lin Yu glanced at the system panel again.

"This system is too stingy, with no scoring standard at all. Killing an ordinary soldier and taking out a consul—can they be the same?"

"Let me say," he said, lighting a cigarette, "there should be a ranking. Ordinary soldiers get base points, officers double, consuls double again..."

Lin Yu was pondering the system's reward criteria when a new system prompt suddenly popped up before him:

【Ding! At the host's request, the system updates the toughness evaluation standard】

【Toughness behavior levels are divided as follows:】

【D-level (Basic Toughness Behavior): 10-100 points】

【Face-to-face conflict with ordinary thugs】

【Publicly disciplining petty hooligans】

【Forceful law enforcement, unafraid of the powerful】

【Reward range: 10-100 toughness points】

【C-level (Intermediate Toughness Behavior): 100-1000 points】

【Direct confrontation with gang organizations】

【Forcefully suppressing riots】

【Publicly executing major criminals】

【Direct confrontation with foreign consuls】

【Reward range: 100-1000 toughness points】

【B-level (Advanced Toughness Behavior): 1000-5000 points】

【Eradicating large criminal organizations】

【Engaging military-scale forces】

【Forcefully dealing with foreign envoys】

【Challenging local warlords】

【Reward range: 1000-5000 toughness points】

【A-level (Top-tier Toughness Behavior): 5000- points】

【Annihilating the main force of a regular army (regiment level and above)】

【Forcefully challenging the Great Powers】

【Bloodbathing the concession】

【Overthrowing local regimes】

【Reward range: 5000- toughness points】

【S-level (Special Toughness Behavior): +】

【Defeating the main force of the Great Powers (division level and above)】

【Overturning national regime】

【Altering the course of history】

【Reward range: points and above】

"Not bad!" Lin Yu looked at the new evaluation standard, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

He stood and walked to the window, gazing at the rising black smoke in the distance: "According to this standard, last night's battle should at least merit fifteen thousand points—after all, we wiped out an entire regiment..."

Just then, the system suddenly popped up a prompt:

【Ding! Detected a re-evaluation of the host's toughness behavior from last night:

【Annihilation of Eastern regular army regiment: points】

【Execution of Eastern consul: 2000 points】

【Total: toughness points】

"That's more like human speech," Lin Yu nodded satisfactorily. "It should have been like this all along."

He sat back down at his desk, lit a cigarette, and said: "With these toughness points, it's time to consider pulling off a big score..."

Lin Yu leaned back in his office chair, fingers lightly tapping the desk, began to calculate.

"Fourteen thousand six hundred toughness points..." he said, lighting a cigarette, "Let's do a mid-level lottery first, then save the rest for an opportunity."

The troop list before him made his eyes light up. The German-equipped Regiment had 850 men, the Security Regiment 2000, the Beiyang Army Regiment 2120... plus the Axe Head Gang and the Military Police, total forces nearing 6500.

"Bloodbath the Eastern Concession?" Lin Yu snorted. "Their paltry guard force really isn't worth a look."

He stood and walked to the map of Shen City hanging on the wall. The Eastern Concession's defense forces numbered no more than two thousand, scattered here and there. With his firepower, he could take it down in a single night.

"But..." Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, "Simply bloodbathing the concession is boring. If we're going to play, we play for the big stakes."

His gaze swept over several key points on the map. The Eastern division stationed in Shen City is the real tough nut.

"First, let's do a lottery to see what goodies we can get." Lin Yu opened the system panel.

【Spend 1000 toughness points to conduct a mid-level lottery?】

"Draw!"

"Ding!" the familiar system prompt sounded.

【Detected that the host's last night's tough behavior greatly increased national prestige】

【Specially reward one high-level lottery exchange opportunity】

【Consuming toughness points can be exchanged for one high-level lottery】

"This is actually a good opportunity." Lin Yu's eyes lit up, he immediately pulled up the system panel to check.

【Current toughness points: point】

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to calculate: "Ten thousand points for a high-level lottery, leaving 4600 points. Can do four mid-level lotteries, still leaving 600 points..."

【High-level lottery reward categories：】

【Force summoning category：】

Division-level military force (8000 people)

Brigade-level special forces (3000-5000 people)

Complete military system (including command, logistics, etc.)

【Item category：】

Highest military-political status (such as commander-in-chief, supervisor, etc.)

Special privileges (such as military supply allocation rights, troop conscription rights, etc.)

Large-scale industries (such as railway networks, banking systems, etc.)

【Supplies and equipment category：】

Heavy armored vehicles (such as Tiger Tank, armored vehicles, etc.)

Naval and air force equipment (such as destroyers, fighter jets, etc.)

Modernized military-industrial facilities

"Four mid-level lotteries..." Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, "Maybe we can get several battalions' worth of troops, then pair with heavy equipment from the high-level lottery..."

He walked to the window, gazing at the black smoke in the distance. He currently has a force of nearly 6500 people; if he could add a few battalions and get several tanks...

"An armored division, or a mechanized infantry division..." Lin Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation, "In this era, that's walking capital."

He sat back down at his desk: "Let's do this high-level lottery first, see what good stuff we can get."

Finger lightly taps the system panel:

【Whether to consume toughness points to exchange for one high-level lottery opportunity？】

"Draw!"

【Ding! Congratulations, host obtained...】

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. This draw will determine his next move in Shen City...

【Ding! Congratulations, host obtained special military force: German 7th Armored Division "Ghost Division"！】

Lin Yu's breathing instantly became rapid.

【This division is the German elite armored division, total number of people.】

【Includes：】

【-25th Armored Regiment: Tiger Tank Battalion, Leopard Tank Battalion, Assault Gun Battalion】

【-7th Armored Grenade Troop: three mechanized infantry battalions】

【-7th Armored Reconnaissance Battalion: armored reconnaissance company, motorized reconnaissance company】

【-7th Armored Artillery Battalion: self-propelled artillery battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion】

【-7th Armored Engineer Battalion, signal battalion, logistics battalion...】

Lin Yu's fingers trembled slightly. He stared fixedly at those keywords on the system panel:

"Tiger King..."

"88mm..."

"Marshal's Staff self-propelled artillery..."

"This..." He suddenly stood up, almost knocking over the tea cup on the desk.

This is the famed "Ghost Division" in blitzkrieg warfare! The German elite armored division renowned for mobility and firepower!

【Troop equipment has been stationed at the storage base】

【Command Center personnel on standby】

【Please host, go to the base for details】

Lin Yu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down. A thirty-mu storage base is sufficient to park the main equipment of an armored division.

"With this force..." Lin Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of cold light, "Bloodbath the concession? Heh, that's just the basics."
