Chapter 73 72: Explosion of troops!
This is an ability that Chu Zhongxing urgently needs. Up to now, the Tongtian Divine Tree, which has reached level 4, can summon 32 players.

Even if players have the ability to revive and grow infinitely, 32 players seem too few and far between in the Northern Frontier.

Who would send only 32 soldiers to a war? At least 800 of them should be sufficient.

If Zhang Wenyuan led 32 soldiers, could he still stop crying when the baby heard his name, and would Sun Yat-sen lose 100,000 soldiers?
Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better.

As Chu Zhongxing holds the most military power, the more players he has under his command, the better.

All three abilities are very strong, but judging from the current situation, numbers are the primary fighting force.

Chu Zhongxing chose the ability of explosive troops without hesitation.

The energy nourished the Tongtian Divine Tree, and a new bud emerged. Chu Zhongxing glanced at the Tongtian Divine Tree and found that the energy consumed doubled when upgraded from LV4 to LV5.

The next upgrade of the Tongtian Divine Tree will consume 2000 energy points.

“Not every 10-fold increase is acceptable!”

Chu Zhongxing looked at his many abilities and decisively consumed 100 energy points to activate the ability to explode troops.

The energy value in his hand instantly dropped to only 311.37. Chu Zhongxing spent another 300 energy points to strengthen his explosive troop capacity.

[Ability 1: Explosion (Enhancement Times: 2). You can consume energy points to activate the explosion mode and increase the number of players that can be summoned. The initial number of explosions is /day, and the number of explosions can be enhanced, with an upper limit of the level of the Tongtian Divine Tree.]

"After turning on the blast mode, I will increase the number of players that can be summoned by 2 every day. The current level cap of the Tongtian Divine Tree is 4. As long as there is enough energy, I can strengthen it and increase the number of players that can be summoned by 4 every day."

"Four a day, 4 days a year means 365. In addition, the Tongtian Divine Tree is constantly upgrading, and the explosive soldiers will continue to strengthen."

The number of summoned players increased by the upgrade of the Tongtian Divine Tree, and the number of players increased by the explosion of soldiers, both grow exponentially. Chu Zhongxing's math skills are average, and he has no way of making a function or something to calculate how many soldiers he can summon in a year.

But conservatively estimated, the number of players will exceed five thousand in a year!
"The most terrifying thing about exponential growth is that it gets stronger every year. At this stage, as long as we develop steadily, it may only take two or three years to wipe out the barbarians."

When the ability to increase troops was pointed out, Chu Zhongxing seemed to have seen the scene of the annihilation of eighteen barbarian tribes in the northern border.

"The game was just updated to version 0.4 two days ago, so it's not appropriate to update to version 0.5 right away. Let's wait a few days until Su Mu finishes reciting the Spring and Autumn Annals and the number of players increases to fifty, then update to version 0.5."

Angel Su Mu, a great scholar of the Gongyang School of Confucianism, came to the northern border on the order of the emperor to recall the Zhenbei Army.

As the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, Chu Zhongxing did not agree to Su Mu's request. Instead, he made promises to Su Mu, swore by the Luo River, and promised Su Mu that he would return to Di Shang one day.

He was sure to return to Di Shang, but the time was uncertain. After getting Chu Zhongxing's consent, Su Mu settled down in Yancheng and became the only Confucian scholar in Yancheng.

During the Shang Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other.

Since Chu Zhongxing has released a preview of the new profession, he will naturally not disappoint the players.

He gave Su Mu an order, asking him to recite the Confucian "Spring and Autumn Annals" and at the same time teach and answer questions for players who were willing to join the Confucian Gongyang School.

Su Mu naturally agreed to this matter. Coming from a Confucian background, he was very enthusiastic about teaching and answering questions. Who wouldn't want to have more disciples in his school?
Su Mu naturally also hopes that the Gongyang School will have more disciples, so that when he returns to the Di Shang Dynasty in the future, he can compete with other schools!

"Really, you old players can't be so helpful to the enemy. Good fellow, you don't know how confused we new players are. We were discovered and surrounded by cavalry scouts before we even arrived at the Iltsk Oasis in our chariots."

Yancheng, on the city wall.

New player Gui Bi expressed his opinion: "The difficulty of the Iltsk Oasis dungeon is extremely high, and the dungeon does not limit the number of players. In other words, this dungeon is a super large multiplayer dungeon. We players need to unite to have the possibility of conquering the Iltsk Oasis dungeon!"

"It sounds good to talk about unity, unity, but how can we unite? You new players are too weak. You can't even kill the monsters in the Iltsk Oasis dungeon in a one-on-one situation!"

Zheng Sanshui asked Gui Bi in return, what's the point of just talking about unity, and the new players are too weak, what else can they do except give away heads?
"Brother Sanshui, you can't say that!"

Gui Bi retorted: "Although I have only been in the game for two days, from my current gaming experience, the NPCs in this game have extremely high IQs. We can totally treat them as real people."

"We just went to the dungeon to take a look. The monsters in the dungeon will pick up your equipment and use it. Brother Shui, do you know what this means?"

"It means that we must treat the Iltsk Oasis dungeon as a real enemy."

Zhuge Wang also spoke up, pushing his nonexistent glasses: "In other words, we should abandon our previous thinking of playing games. We should now tell ourselves that we are not playing games, but have really traveled to an ancient fantasy world."

"We have to change our mindset to have a chance to break through the Iltsk Oasis dungeon."

"Traveled to an ancient fantasy world?"

Yilei Miao frowned and tried to interrupt: "In other words, we should treat the Iltsk Oasis copy as a real enemy?"

"Play the art of war!"

Niu Bu suddenly realized: "My fellow brothers, now I understand that this game is called "Hundred Schools of Thought", but the game starts in an isolated city, and the only profession is military strategist.

The core of "Hundred Schools of Thought" is definitely the Hundred Schools of Thought, which is Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism and other schools of thought, rather than the current four schools of thought of military strategy. "

"But the game manufacturers still start with the military strategy, which tells us to switch from modern thinking to the thinking of the ancients."

Niu Bu cleared his throat and felt that he understood why the game manufacturer designed the plot in this way: "So what do players pay attention to first?"

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill, kill, kill!"

He Aomeng snapped his fingers and said, "When we play games, we must experience the battle system first, so killing, killing, killing is the first thing we players pay attention to!"

"So this is how the plot is designed. I understand!"

Zheng Sanshui suddenly realized: "Our focus is first on the combat system, so the game manufacturers want to change our thinking through dungeons and combat, for example, using a very difficult dungeon to make us change our thinking and switch from the era of hot weapons to the era of cold weapons."
