Chapter 156-07: Tongtian Divine Tree, Upgrade (LV6) (4K)

"The new troops of Yancheng will be divided into two groups. One group will go to Shicheng, and the other group will go to Beiting."

Chu Zhongxing looked at Guo Xiaoding who was telling Yin Yin about the history of imperial business, and informed him of the developments of the newly formed new army.

Guo Xiaoding, who originally had a kind face, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes: "Beiting, Shicheng?"

"Beiting is occupied by the Quanrong, and Shicheng is occupied by the Guifang. The barbarians of these two tribes are both brave and good at fighting, far beyond the reach of the Xianyun tribe.

Moreover, these two tribes will never let go of any grudge. If you provoke them, they will retaliate even if it snows."

At this point, Guo Xiaoding stood up suddenly. He stared at Chu Zhongxing with his one eye for a long time before he asked, "Are you planning to cross the Shanhan Corridor and return to Dishang?"

"I will fulfill my oath to Luoshui!"

"fart!"

"What a bullshit Luoshui oath! With just a few soldiers under your command, you still want to fulfill the Luoshui oath? Do you want to harm the angels?"

Guo Xiaoding was very emotional. As an old general who had fought in the northern border for 83 years, he was well aware of the difficulty of crossing the Shanhan Corridor. With the ability of the soldiers under Chu Zhongxing, they were basically sending themselves to death.

Indeed, the new army created by Chu Zhongxing can indeed make Guo Xiaoding feel frightened, but that is because the new army has grown in strength and numbers. If it were to meet the Zhenbei Army with its current strength, the Zhenbei Army would be able to slaughter them all!

"General Guo."

Chu Zhongxing looked at Guo Xiaoding with a calm gaze: "I have been in Yancheng for only four months. It has only been four months since I came to Yancheng. My army has grown from two soldiers at the beginning to 564 soldiers now.

Among them, Niu Bu, a soldier under my command, entered the self-cultivation realm in just over three months, and killed dozens of barbarians in the self-cultivation realm! "

"Now that the autumnal equinox has passed, in two months, the northern border will be buried in the vast snow. By then, both the barbarians and the monsters will relax their vigilance and reduce going out."

"In two months, I can form a new army of over 500 people. With the new army as the vanguard, and General Guo, you leading the Zhenbei Army as the main force, we will definitely be able to pass through the entire Shanhan Corridor and return to Di Shang!"

Chu Zhongxing is full of confidence.

Two months ago, there were only a dozen players in Yancheng, but since the ability to explode troops was acquired, the number of players in Yancheng has been increasing rapidly.

In just two months, the number of players in Yancheng skyrocketed by more than 500 people, and the number of players entering the study stage increased from a few to more than a hundred.

What if we give him another two months?

Chu Zhongxing will frantically plunder the barbarians in the entire northern border within these two months, use war to support war, and plunder the northern border's herbs and supplies to quickly train players.

Two months later, Chu Zhongxing will definitely be able to build a new army of 500 people or even more.

"The new army is the vanguard, and we are the main army?"

Guo Xiaoding raised his voice and said, "Chu Zhongxing, I am the commander of the Zhenbei Army. My duty is to guard the northern border and suppress the barbarians. Now, not only have we failed to suppress the barbarians, we have also lost all twelve cities in the northern border.

In this case, how can we return to Di Shang with dignity? Will we go back to be ridiculed and laughed at by others? "

"Almost all of the thirty thousand soldiers of the Northern Guard Army are buried in the yellow sand. If we return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty like this, will we be worthy of our comrades who died here?"

Return to Di Shang?

The soldiers of Yancheng Town's Beifang Army are always trying to return to Di Shang, but the prerequisite for returning to Di Shang is to recover the northern border!
If we cannot recover the northern border, how can we have the face to return to Di Shang?

"The Emperor has ordered the Northern Frontier Zhenbei Army to return to the city to assist the Emperor."

Chu Zhongxing knew that Guo Xiaoding was unwilling to return to Di Shang, so he directly brought out the angel Su Mu and the Emperor of Di Shang, trying to suppress Guo Xiaoding.

"hehe!"

Hearing Chu Zhongxing say this, Guo Xiaoding smiled and said, "If the Zhenbei Army had 30,000 soldiers, I would return to Di Shang immediately to help the emperor without saying a word.

But now, the Zhenbei Army has only 142 soldiers, and they are all old and half-buried veterans. Can we call for reinforcements if we return to the Di Shang Dynasty?
They are nothing but a bunch of encumbrances!"

"Two months from now is the last chance to return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty. If you don't leave in two months, you will have to wait until the beginning of next spring."

Chu Zhongxing glanced at Guo Xiaoding and said seriously, "You know the northern border better than I do. Yancheng will definitely be conquered in the spring of next year."

"And we."

"It will be buried in the yellow sand, turned into dry bones, and no one will know it."

"not us."

Guo Xiaoding stood up and walked to the door of the general's mansion. He looked towards the distant Imperial City of Imperial Commerce and shook his head slightly:

"It's the Yancheng Zhenbei Army!"

"I bought you a winter, not to ask you to guard Yancheng with us in the spring of next year and live and die with Yancheng.

Although you are the chief coach of Yancheng, in the final analysis."

Guo Xiaoding had a complicated look in his eyes. At this moment, he hoped that Chu Zhongxing was the real Yancheng Zhenbei Army, but unfortunately, Chu Zhongxing was not.

Chu Zhongxing was not even from the Imperial Shang Dynasty.

Guo Xiaoding did not speak out his speculation. He just looked at Chu Zhongxing and said softly:

"Master Chu, I hope you will be able to protect yourself in three months.

When you have the ability to conquer the northern border in the future, I hope you can accomplish this task under the name of the Northern Guard Army."

Chu Zhongxing was silent. He knew that Guo Xiaoding was a very stubborn person, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

Under the order of Emperor Di Shang, he still has to live and die with Yancheng, and still has to die in battle in the northern border.

"Let's discuss this later!"

Chu Zhongxing did not agree with Guo Xiaoding's words, but instead looked at Yin Yin beside him with a leisurely look.

Guo Xiaoding is unwilling to return to Dishang?

It's not up to him!

In the early spring of next year, the barbarian army will be at the gates of Yancheng, and Yancheng will certainly not be able to be defended. In this case, all 142 northern soldiers of Yancheng Town will surely be killed in the battle and their bodies will be buried in the northern border.

Chu Zhongxing is a grateful person.

Guo Xiaoding had done him a favor, so he naturally would not watch Guo Xiaoding die in battle in the northern border. Even if that was his fate, Chu Zhongxing would not allow it.

Only when a person is alive can he have a future. Guo Xiaoding's dream is to recover the northern border and then return to the imperial business. As long as he is alive, he will definitely be able to see this scene.

But, not next year.

Version 0.655 optimizes the career system based on version 0.65.

The new career system directly mobilized the enthusiasm of players.

The [Soldier] profession is a profession that almost all players want to join, but the requirements for the Soldier profession are too high. Among 564 players, only 117 players passed the profession requirements.

All of these 117 players are veteran players, and all of the 300 players who played the sixth test of the game are not eligible.

The remaining players who have not joined the [Soldier] profession can only choose to join other professions. Except for the [Merchant] profession which requires a large amount of capital, the requirements of the other three professions are very low.

By joining the [Civilian] profession, you can be allocated a certain amount of arable land, seeds and Qimin essential skills. Players need to buy/forge farm tools by themselves and go to Yancheng Military Farm (Iltsk Oasis) to open up wasteland and grow food!

To join the profession of [Craftsman], one needs to have certain craftsmanship. After joining [Craftsman], players need to remove rust, sharpen and maintain weapons. In addition, players who join [Craftsman] also need to repair the entire Yancheng, clean up the ruins of collapsed houses in Yancheng, and build defensive fortifications such as chevaux de frise.

To join the profession of [Blister], you need to know how to cook. After joining [Blister], the player needs to cook for the food and drink of the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng and other players, and also raise livestock and hunt for food.

Join the [Merchant] profession. Well, currently no one has joined the [Merchant] profession. The [Merchant] profession requires players to have capital, but at this stage, no player has the ability to become a merchant.

Players who joined the [Soldiers] became the new army of Yancheng. Not only did they receive a ring-handled sword for free, they also received a set of armor and two war horses for free.

The gap between professions is so huge that other players who have not joined the army are envious and jealous. After finishing their work, many of them came to the forum to complain about the huge gap between professions.

"I'm so envious of the players who joined the army. Damn, the gap between the professions is so huge!"

"Yes, compared with soldiers, what are the treatments of farmers, craftsmen, and laborers? The gap is too big."

"envy, jealousy, hate!"

"Your idea is wrong. Why are you jealous? Soldiers are here to protect our country. Isn't it normal to have such treatment? Besides, soldiers have good treatment but also many requirements. I just asked a player who joined the army. Soldiers have many restrictions. They even require you to be online every day!"

"You guys still have time to talk nonsense. Why don't you hurry up and work to exchange herbs for job changes?"

"Brother, I've been online for 24 hours straight and got kicked off. I'm really impressed by this game. There's a time limit for adults!"

"Guess why I don't play games, but come to the forum to chat?"

The virtual gaming helmet can be online for up to 24 hours a day, while the holographic gaming cabin can be online for up to 7 days.

At this stage, most players are wearing virtual game helmets, and they will be kicked out by the official after being online for 24 hours.

Players who were kicked out of the game were naturally unwilling to leave the game. They all went to the forum to complain and discuss the game content.

The more they complained in the forum and the more they interacted, the more intense their emotions became, and the more emotional value they contributed to Chu Zhongxing.

Chu Zhongxing, who originally needed several days to accumulate enough energy to upgrade the Tongtian Divine Tree, saw his energy value skyrocket after the 0.655 version update.

“The version update can really trigger intense discussions and exchanges among players!”

After 17 hours of fruitless discussions with Guo Xiaoding about how to return to Di Shang, amidst the frantic discussions of the players, Chu Zhongxing saved up enough energy to upgrade the Tongtian Divine Tree. He habitually came to the side of the Tongtian Divine Tree, and looking at the Tongtian Divine Tree that had grown into a small sapling, Chu Zhongxing made a gesture of watering in the air.

The saplings are swaying and the branches are shaking. In this late autumn season, the branches and leaves of the Tongtian Divine Tree are still green and eye-catching.

[You use your energy to water the Tongtian Divine Tree.]

[The Tongtian Divine Tree absorbed the energy and grew very well. 】

【The Sky-reaching Divine Tree (LV5) → (LV6). 】

[The power of the Tongtian Divine Tree has been enhanced. As someone who lives and breathes the Tongtian Divine Tree, your power has also been enhanced.]

[The number of players you summon increases by 64. ]

[You can choose one of the following three options as your new ability. ]

[1: Heart. You can consume energy points to replicate the magical power mastered by a player.

2: Inheriting Ancestors. You can consume energy to open a virtual realm. When your players enter the virtual realm, they can consume essence and blood to trace their ancestors, and there is a chance that they will inherit a magical power/general outline/technique from their ancestors. (Note: Only the holographic game cabin can collect player essence and blood. Players can enter the virtual realm at most once a week. Whether they can comprehend magical powers depends on the player's bloodline and comprehension.)
Three: Regeneration. The King of Hell wants someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, and you dare to keep him alive until five o'clock. You can consume a huge amount of energy to summon the player who is bound to your contract and give him a new life again (Note: 1. If the player's real body is still alive, regeneration cannot be used. 2. If the player has been dead for more than seven days, his soul returns to the world, and regeneration cannot be used). 】

"This time the upgrade is not a double yolk egg."

When the Tongtian Divine Tree was upgraded from LV5 to LV6, it did not show the five-choice-two ability that Chu Zhongxing expected, but was the same as the previous four upgrades, with three-choice-one.

Judging from the experience gained from upgrading six times, the situation of choosing two out of five will only become possible if the form of the Tongtian Divine Tree changes.

After upgrading from LV5 to LV6, Chu Zhongxing can recruit 64 more players. If this number of people was before he obtained the ability to explode troops, Chu Zhongxing would be very excited.

But with the explosion of troops, Chu Zhongxing no longer cares about such a small number of people.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. With these 64 places, Chu Zhongxing can directly summon 300 players or even more when he updates the version next time.

"I banned Wenlundeng, and now I have 2 extra spots. I will use them directly when the next version is updated!!"

Chu Zhongxing focused his eyes on the text in front of him. This time, there were three choices, two of which had appeared before.

“Tongxin appeared when I first upgraded the Tongtian Divine Tree. At that time, I didn’t even have a player.

I have a lot of players under my command now, but I still feel like they are of little use. I am the commander of Yancheng, and I can only lead the army in person. It is impossible for me to go out and kill the enemy in person!"

"Rebirth. Good fellow, are you really expecting the players under my command to re-emerge in real life?"

"As for the last ancestor."

Chu Zhongxing read the ability of renting five times, and every time he read it, he thought to himself, "Oh my God!"

Chengzu's ability is so incredible. It's really too incredible.

The emergence of this ability means that Earth OL and the fantasy world he lives in will have a deeper connection.

All the cultivation techniques of the players, including Chu Zhongxing himself, are originally from this world.

Neither the "Civil and Military Strategies" of the military strategists nor the "Five Constant Virtues" of the Confucianists have anything to do with Earth OL.

But now, when Chengzu's ability came out, Chu Zhongxing instantly noticed something was wrong.
