Chapter 5: Players spend money, I become stronger

During the Shang Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought followed their own ways.

Each school has its own philosophy, magical powers, and means of defending against the enemy. In order to better define the abilities of the disciples of the hundreds of schools, the Imperial Shang Dynasty divided the realms of the various schools of thought into six realms.

Study, cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, bring peace to the world, and be a sage.

In the Imperial Shang Dynasty, improving one's strength does not equal improving one's realm.

In other words, in the Imperial Shang Dynasty, there is no such thing as you practicing in seclusion for a certain number of years and then being canonized and becoming a saint directly after coming out.

In the Imperial Shang Dynasty, your realm is evaluated based on your abilities.

For example, the loyal and martial general Guo Xiaoding in front of us is at the fourth level of governing the country. He has the ability to rule the world on horseback and to bring peace to the world with his pen.

The fourth realm, the realm of governing the country, requires the ability to quell rebellions and govern the country.

According to Guo Xiaoding, in the entire Imperial Shang Dynasty, there were no more than 20 to 30 ministers in charge of governing the country.

The fifth level, to pacify the world, requires not only ability but also achievements.

If you cannot conquer a country and expand the territory for the Imperial Shang Dynasty, how can you dare to say that you have the ability to pacify the world?

As for the sixth realm, the realm of saints.

Up to now, there have been only two saints, one is Li Er and the other is Confucius.

The six major realms are used to measure the abilities of the disciples of various schools of thought. If it is specific to a certain school, the name will be different.

For example, military strategists divide abilities according to military positions, such as rookie, sergeant, squad leader, centurion, and so on.

For Confucianism, there are tongsheng, xiucai, jinshi, etc.

"Wait, Tongsheng, Xiucai, Jinshi?"

"Did the Imperial Shang Dynasty have an imperial examination system?"

"The imperial examination system existed five hundred years ago!!"

Guo Xiaoding's words made Chu Zhongxing a little confused. Adding the six realms and the unique names of abilities within each school, Chu Zhongxing felt like his brain was exploding.

You've made it so complicated, how can I show it to the players?
"How do you get the rank system?"

Chu Zhongxing glanced at Guo Xiaoding with resentment. He thought he could easily figure out the hierarchy system, but the more Guo Xiaoding talked, the more confused he became.

"The hierarchy system cannot be too complicated. We cannot have students, scholars, new recruits, or sergeants."

Chu Zhongxing thought for a while and snapped his fingers:
"The upgrade system is the simplest LV0-LV100. Increasing the level can only improve your physical fitness."

Chu Zhongxing's eyes were full of teasing: "It's too easy to improve your physical fitness. As long as you work hard, you can improve it."

“Whether it’s this fantasy world or the previous life, it’s all the same.

In my previous life, I could run 5 kilometers for a year, and my physique was so good that I could make my girlfriend scream. "

"As for the ability division of the various schools of thought, I can make it into a job transfer system."

"Every player can join a school and 'change their job'. After changing their job, they can learn the magical powers and enemy defense methods of the school. Then things like Tongsheng and Xiucai can be turned into titles."

"As for the six realms, I can make it into a reputation system to improve your reputation and let the world know which realm you are in."

Chu Zhongxing instantly set the tone for the game's [level system]. He divided the complicated and tedious things mentioned by Guo Xiaoding into three parts.

[Level] is only related to one's own physical fitness, or physical strength. An increase in level only means that your physical strength has increased.

[Title] corresponds to the internal ability titles of the various schools of thought. Joining the various schools of thought means that the player changes his job. After changing his job, he can learn the magical powers and enemy defense methods of the various schools of thought, and at the same time, the title system is opened. As long as a certain assessment is passed, he can obtain titles such as Tongsheng and Xinding.

[Reputation] corresponds to six realms: studying, self-cultivation, managing the family, governing the country, pacifying the world, and being a sage.

Dividing the complicated and tedious things mentioned by Guo Xiaoding into three different systems will allow players to understand the level system of this game more intuitively and clearly.

"Now that the most important level system has been finalized, the panel will be very simple."

"Strength, agility, stamina, health, and spiritual energy. Just five simple dimensions will do."

Chu Zhongxing did not make an overly complicated panel. After all, this was a real world, not an imaginary game world. He could not create attributes such as intelligence, spirit, critical damage, and critical chance.

Simple strength, agility, physique, HP/MP are enough.

After the player changes his job, other attributes can be added to the attribute panel.

For example, the Confucian spirit of righteousness.

After thinking up the [level system] and [attribute panel], Chu Zhongxing connected his mind to the resurrection pool and started [face-pinching]. As a non-art student, Chu Zhongxing's face-pinching skills are hard to describe.

All I can say is that he has eyes and a nose and is a human being.

Two male bodies lay quietly in the resurrection pool. Chu Zhongxing attached his thoughts to the tender buds, and a panel unique to him emerged.

[Tongtian Divine Tree: LV0 (0/10) (Energy value can be used to irrigate Tongtian Divine Tree). 】

[Number of players that can be summoned: 0/2. ]

【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, a body without an owner is created to revive the player (can be accelerated using energy points)]

[Bodies that can be resurrected: 1. ]

【Energy value: 0. 】

The sprout is named Tongtian Divine Tree, but at present, this sprout has nothing to do with Tongtian or the Divine Tree.

The level 0 Tongtian Divine Tree can only summon two players, and it will "explode" a resurrection coin every twelve hours, which can be used to revive players.

The Tongtian Divine Tree can be watered and grown with energy, and the source of energy is the emotional fluctuations of the players!

The newly born Tongtian Divine Tree is too weak. It cannot absorb the emotional fluctuations of players all the time and can only absorb them in a designated area.

Looking at the area that was only one foot square, Chu Zhongxing couldn't help scratching his hair: "We need to think carefully about which area the players' emotions are the most intense and the fluctuations are the greatest!"

To be honest, as long as Chu Zhongxing summoned the player to this world and let him experience the [100% realistic immersive holographic online game], his emotions would definitely fluctuate violently.

Especially when the player just enters the game, the emotional value is absolutely full!
“The emotional swings are the most intense, and the part just entering the game is something you can’t miss.”

Chu Zhongxing's eyes were on the resurrection pool. No matter whether the player had just entered the game or was resurrected, they would all come out of the resurrection pool. Drawing on the emotions of the players in this place should be the best choice!
“Choosing the resurrection pool, you can obtain the emotional value provided by the player when entering the game, and the emotional value provided after each resurrection after being killed.

If the area is expanded as the Tongtian Divine Tree grows, we can consider other places."
