Chapter 31: Tongtian Divine Tree, Upgrade (LV31)

"If it's about military formations and military skills, I can teach you some of my personal understanding and experience, but I can't teach you about military power."

General's Mansion.

Guo Xiaoding and Chu Zhongxing sat cross-legged facing each other.

"The faction of military power is good at commanding and making plans. For those who are in the faction of military power, the more troops they command, the better."

"You have read the Six Strategies and know that leading an army to fight is not an easy task. Especially when there are many soldiers under your command, it tests the commander's ability to dispatch and manage troops."

"Marching speed, logistics supply, camp shouting, morale, coordination of arms, cooperation of arms, and dispatch of troops"

Guo Xiaoding kept shaking his head: "The more soldiers you have, the more difficult it will be. If the number exceeds 100,000, or even reaches a million, the difficulty will increase exponentially."

"Although I am at the fourth level of governing a country, as a military faction, the limit of the number of troops I can command is no more than 50,000. If the number of soldiers under my command exceeds 50,000, I will not be able to

I can use it to my fullest potential.”

The troops are good at making reckless moves and have good strategic power.

When Niu Bu was changing jobs, Chu Zhongxing, with the support of Guo Xiaoding, also obtained the qualification for "changing jobs".

If ordinary soldiers want to join the military, they need to pass the five teaching methods and go through a series of tests.

Niu Bu "killed a person above his level" and was qualified to join the military strategist as an exception.

As for Chu Zhongxing, with his magical power similar to [Fake Ghosts and Gods], he naturally gained the qualification to join the military strategists.

It can't be said that all the soldiers under Chu Zhongxing's command have joined the military strategists, and he, as a captain, is not a military strategist.

Among the four schools of military strategists, Niu Bu chose the school of military skill, while Chu Zhongxing chose the school of military power.

The faction with military power trains commanders, who can be promoted to the rank of Grand Marshal of the Army.

As for the military power faction, there was not much that Guo Xiaoding could teach Chu Zhongxing. It was impossible for him to train Chu Zhongxing according to the military formation faction's training method.

What was trained was not a commander-in-chief, but a military general.

"General Guo, don't blame yourself. I can read the Six Strategies and understand them on my own."

Choosing the military power faction was a decision made by Chu Zhongxing after careful consideration.

Chu Zhongxing can summon players. Isn't this a natural body of military power?
In time, when the number of players exceeds 100,000, Chu Zhongxing will be able to command the players and pacify the barbarians.

What, are you afraid that the players will be lazy and have no military discipline or rules?

Check out the plot cutscene CG!
It doesn’t matter if they don’t obey. I can directly control their bodies and march them in the style of story cutscene CG.

"Besides marching and fighting, I can more or less teach you some of my experience in other matters."

Guo Xiaoding, who was sitting cross-legged, took out a map and spread it in front of Chu Zhongxing.

"This is a map of the northern border. The cities marked with red crosses are the ones that were conquered by the barbarians."

The map was made of parchment with twelve red crosses on it, indicating that twelve cities in the northern border had been conquered by barbarians.

In addition to the twelve red crosses, there are eighteen black crosses on the map. Next to the black crosses are very small fonts with the names of the barbarian tribes written on them.

Eighteen black forks, scattered like a circle, surround Yancheng.

"What, you were scared?"

Seeing Chu Zhongxing staring at the map for a long time without saying anything, Guo Xiaoding asked with a smile. This was the first time he took out the map of Northern Xinjiang to show Chu Zhongxing. He was afraid that Chu Zhongxing would see that the situation was too bad and be scared to flee from Yancheng.

Chu Zhongxing would naturally not be scared and flee from Yancheng. The current situation was much better than when he just arrived in Yancheng. As long as he was given time, he could really crush the barbarians.

"No, General Guo, what is this?"

Chu Zhongxing pointed to a green three-S symbol and a red double wavy line not far from Yancheng and asked.

"The fields and the hunting grounds."

"The corn eaten by the Zhenbei Army is grown in this farmland, and the meat they eat is hunted in the hunting grounds." "These two places are the main sources of food for the Zhenbei Army."

"Then why have I never seen you send troops to garrison these two places?"

Chu Zhongxing was surprised. Players who have played StarCraft, Warcraft, Red Alert, and Age of Empires all know that resources such as food, gold mines, and crystals need to be garrisoned by troops, or at least defensive buildings need to be built to protect them.

Chu Zhongxing had been in Yancheng for almost a week, and had never seen Guo Xiaoding send troops to patrol and guard these two places.

"Do you think you are joking about deploying troops?"

"Have you ever seen an army that changes its garrison soldiers once a week?"

Guo Xiaoding was amused. It was a rare occasion for him to confront Chu Zhongxing: There are twenty soldiers of my Zhenbei Army guarding the fields, ten hunting grounds, and one hundred and twelve soldiers of my Zhenbei Army in Yancheng.

You have been in Yancheng for a week. Haven't you counted how many people there are in Yancheng?
Oops

“I haven’t really counted.”

Chu Zhongxing's mind was full of summoning players, and he didn't even count how many Zhenbei troops there were in Yancheng one by one.

"The plowing and hunting grounds!"

After these two words appeared in Chu Zhongxing's mind, Chu Zhongxing's eyes suddenly lit up and a good idea emerged in his mind.

"Farming and hunting."

“It’s time to give players more other gaming experiences.”

At present, the gameplay of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" is still very boring. Except for Niu Bu, a player who is in the process of changing his job, other players are taught and trained in the five teaching methods after entering the game every day.

It's time to spice up the game a little.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongxing connected his mind to the Tongtian Divine Tree, and a panel appeared in front of him.

[Tongtian Divine Tree: LV1 (0/100) (Energy value can be used to irrigate Tongtian Divine Tree). 】

[Number of players that can be summoned: 4/4. ]

【ability:
1: Shape the body and summon "players" far away on the blue planet.

2: You can forcibly control the shaped body to do anything.

3: Text appears on the eyes of the sculpted body.

4: Absorb the emotional fluctuations of players in the designated area and convert them into energy points.

Five: Every twelve hours, an ownerless body will materialize to revive the player (energy can be used to speed up the process).

Six: You can consume energy points to teach (Emperor Business Mandarin) to players. 】

[Bodies that can be resurrected: 3. ]

【Energy value: 78.44. 】

"I only need about 20 energy points to upgrade the Tongtian Divine Tree."

"In two days, after the Tongtian Divine Tree is upgraded, we will start updating the closed beta version 0.2!"

Chu Zhongxing got a comprehensive understanding of Yancheng from Guo Xiaoding in the General's Mansion. When he came out of the General's Mansion, it was already time for lunch.

Eat, read "Six Strategies", practice hacking and chopping overtime at night, and beat the players who have already got off work.

The next morning, take a medicinal bath in the first ray of sunlight carrying purple energy, and then repeat the previous day's actions.

Three days later, Chu Zhongxing's energy value exceeded 100.

All the energy points were poured into the Tongtian Divine Tree. With the birth of a new sprout, the Tongtian Divine Tree was upgraded for the second time.

The Heaven-reaching Divine Tree (LV1) → The Heaven-reaching Divine Tree (LV2)
