Chapter 450: Seven Stars (1/2)
OMG, Gui Guzi became a Famous General? Knight God?
The skill boosted Attack and Defense by 50%, and if I were to add Tactics into the mix—assuming average Tactics stat for all elite players was around 100 or so—it was a whopping 100% boost to Attack and Defense!
Gui Guzi’s famous General Skill was absolutely OP. 100% Attack was OP enough, but this skill boosted Defense by 100% as well, tsk tsk! I was absolutely sure that Knight God would play a huge role during the upcoming guild wars and nation wars. Riders already had crazy high stats after they equipped mounts, and now Knight God was going to double that number. Mere mortals couldn’t stop him anymore.
……
Meanwhile, the guild channel was brimming with happiness—
Xu Yang: ”Hahaha, this is awesome! 50% boost to two stats? I can’t believe Little Gui learned such an OP skill! Hahaha! Once the rest of us foot soldiers hit Level 150 and gain a mount slot, we’re gonna kill some people and pillage some settlements with Little Gui as the party leader!”
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun: ”That’s right, Little Gui’s Famous General Skill is seriously OP. Dude, don’t forget to take us out after I’m qualified to ride an Earth Lizard!”
Chaos Moon: ”Hehe, this is nice. From now on, our knights can grind with just Health Recovery and War God Recovery. That frees up our priests considerably…”
He Yi: ”Do your best, Gui Guzi!”
Murong Mingyue: ”Hehe, I knew that the return of Bloody Mercenaries would push the wheels of history. Who would’ve thought that three of the five members who joined us back then would become Famous Generals? Just unbelievable!”
Me: ”Little Gui, from now on you should grind with riders exclusively. In the future, we expect you to become the corps commander of the guild’s cavalry…”
Gui Guzi laughed loudly. ”No problem! Thanks for the praise, everyone! I promise I’ll do my best!”
……
I was pleased. Gui Guzi’s new Famous General Skill was without a doubt a huge boon to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. The fact that it boosted mounted units by 50% meant that it was at least at the same level as Beiming Xue’s Bow God. Even more surprising was the fact that he learned a Famous General Skill before Li Chengfeng. What a lucky guy.
I continued to raid the mobs with my dark knights until the surroundings of my territory were cleared out completely. Well, that was only natural. Mobs and resources weren’t infinite, and I had gathered almost everything I could gather for the day. It would be a while before they respawned again.
I returned to the territory and checked the resources. Each resource was sitting at thirty thousand or so, and that was enough to build a lot of things.
First, I should check the territory’s development. Hmm, I guess we’re only lacking a teleportation formation now—
Dark Moon City
Gold Production: 80 per hour
Wood Production: 70 per hour
Stone production: 80 per hour
Crystal Production: 80 per hour
Dark Insects: 31
Buildings: 9
Troops: 121 (30x Skeletal Spearman, 50x Zombie, 40x Dark Knight)
Wall Durability: 200
Teleportation Formations: 0
……
It was very average. I should recruit even more Dark Insects to maximize my production capacity. However, that must happen after the teleportation formation is built.
I opened the construction window and noted that there was now the option to build a teleportation formation. However, it cost 20k resources across the board. What a gold sink. The good news was I had enough to build a teleportation formation since I had been slaving away the entire morning.
I chose ”Confirm”!
After spending most of my accumulated resources on the teleportation formation, I summoned 100 Dark Insects in one go. Resources obtained had to be converted into production for even more resources. While a lot of resource mobs had spawned outside the territory for the past couple of days, it was hardly a consistent thing. And without resource mobs, the only way to farm resources was through production.
I logged off and gobbled down a packed lunch quickly. Then, I went back online and continued killing the mobs around the territory with my Dark Knights.
……
It was a little past 3 pm when a system announcement dinged across the map—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Beauty At First Sight (Sky City)” has successfully defeated the Dark Gold Rank Boss, One-horned Devil, and reached Level 109. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the twelfth Famous General of China! They have gained Luck +1, Tactics +1, and the exclusive Famous General Skill, ”Seven Stars”!
Seven Stars: Increases allies Attack by 20% and reduces enemy’s stratagem’s effectiveness by 20%. Skill effect depends on the player’s Tactics.
……
Looks like Lin Yixin gained yet another powerful general, tsk tsk! If the holy bard didn’t count as the best bard in China before, she definitely did now. This Seven Stars skill didn’t sound bad at all. Not only did it increase her allies’ Attack by 20%, it also reduced the opponent’s stratagem effectiveness by 20%. It was a classic PvP Famous General Skill!
I sighed quietly. Even Snowy Cathaya’s growing in numbers of both foot soldiers and generals, huh? I bet Lin Yixin is plotting something.
As if planned beforehand, another system announcement dinged across the sky—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Transient Smoke and Clouds (Wind City)” has successfully defeated the Dark Gold Rank Boss, Thunder Hyena, and reached Level 110. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the thirteenth Famous General of China! They have gained Luck +1, Tactics +1, and an exclusive Famous General Skill, ”Dissension”!
Dissension: 40% chance to immobilize a target for 30 seconds. Duration of the effect is tied to the player’s Tactics.
