"And the soldiers in the barracks who can be refreshed every week, even if they are above the fifth order, as long as they do not become heroic units, then they are just high-level cannon fodder with no growth potential at all."

No matter how expensive cannon fodder is, it is just cannon fodder, and the longer the resources are spent on them, the lower the returns.

"That's why I'm so desperate to invest in education, because it's a loss-making business in the short term, but a big deal in the long run. We can't know in detail who has higher potential among the ordinary NPCs, but through universal education, we can filter them in the way we need. ”

It's true that Ning Yi has a magic eye, but this kind of ability, every time you use it, there is a price, Ning Yi can't just do nothing every day, just go and be a scout, right?

Even if he works tirelessly and is not afraid of hardship, it is very inefficient to do so, so it is better to spend some money on education and recruit talents from all over the world.

Seeing that the drizzle was still a little worried, Ning Yi smiled and comforted: "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, our Immortal Guild doesn't have much now, it's just a lot of money, even if it's a big thing to run education, a local tyrant like us can afford it!" ”

Ning Yi's joking sentence made the drizzle feel happy, and the man in front of her was always able to do things that made her eyes shine.

As for saying that the Immortal Trace Guild is rich, it is really rich, and the Ghost Hand Gang, the largest underground force in Langya County, is no less than tens of millions of taels just by getting the game currency in hand.

Such a large sum of money is enough to invest in various infrastructure in the city while the immortal trail is fighting on all sides.

For example, widening the trade routes in the territory, building more warehouses and trading stations, as well as building more workshops, recruiting a large number of NPC craftsmen, and constantly increasing the city's production capacity.

This is also thanks to the fact that it was a period of war, and Ning Yi's way of entering Langya County was also attacked through war, so there is no need to estimate the historical legacy of the Ghost Hand Gang, and with extremely tough means, he will make a thunderous move.

You must know that if it was just an ordinary city lord who relied on his official position to enter Langya County, it would be absolutely impossible for Ning Yi to deal with a traditional force like the Ghost Hand Gang that was very the background and had an intricate relationship with the local aristocratic family.

Because in doing so, it often affects the whole body.

But as an outsider and an "intruder", Ning Yi can naturally act without taboos, depending on who is unhappy, just find a reason, and you can do it without discussion.

Choose different paths, with different levels of difficulty and end results.

For example, Wang Zhe initially became the city lord of Yunlan City through a shortcut as the King's Landing, don't look at it like this, it is very cool, but it is actually equivalent to limiting his future development potential.

After all, from the very beginning, he relied on the power of the empire to develop himself, and once he betrayed the empire, the advantages accumulated in the early stage were gone.

It's as if after he was exposed as a member of the Corpse Wolf Sect, he could no longer get help from the Empire, and as a result, he was defeated in successive battles and quickly rushed to the streets.

And Ning Yi, with the help and use of the power of small forces such as the Iron People and the Yu Clan, specifically opened fire on the traditional forces of the empire, although the initial battle was relatively difficult, but once the county was captured, he immediately did a lot of things.

After all, he has never relied on the power of the empire since the beginning stage, and every bit of the strength of the immortal trail has been accumulated by himself, and after that, he naturally does whatever he wants, without being constrained.

In fact, if he was not worried that this operation against the Ghost Hand Gang would cause a riot in the city, Ning Yi planned to directly use the army to purge it.

However, considering that there are better and more efficient options, Ning Yi will naturally not use such drastic methods, like now, using the Rat Gang to continuously compress the living space of the Ghost Hand Gang can also achieve the goal, but it will drag on for a longer time.

Under Ning Yi's management, Yunlan City is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is not affected by the current state of war in the slightest.

No, it should be said that after the Dongyu Empire fell into civil strife, more immigrants migrated to the territory of Langya County to seek refuge from the Immortal Guild.

Under the current game mechanics, people's hearts are a very important territory index, and players must find a balance between interests and people's hearts.

For example, Ning Yi did not raise the morale of the people by lowering taxes, because war requires the consumption of money and materials, and although the Immortal Guild is rich, it is not to the point where it can not value money.

If taxes are not reduced, how can the people's morale rise instead of falling?

Strong military power is the first priority, followed by the elite members of the Immortal Guild who frequently let the Immortal Guild eliminate bandits and bandits in the territory and protect the merchants.

These are all territorial quests that increase prestige and popularity, and can be considered as a daily quest for the player, not only to gain experience, train soldiers, but also occasionally harvest rare materials, valuable antiques, or high-end equipment.

In addition, it is possible to increase employment by building a large number of workshop facilities, which can also improve the morale index of the territory.

Or Ning Yi built a large number of educational and other functional buildings such as schools and colleges in Langya City to improve education, which can not only harvest talents, but also play a role in gathering the hearts of the people.

Because Ning Yi attaches so much importance to education indicators and popular indicators, a large number of NPC talents have begun to emerge in the territory.

It's not just the population that's increasing, it's also the quality population that has acquired the knowledge and unlocked the skills of the people.

In the game of Phantom World, the NPCs themselves form an extremely complex social structure, and the existence of the system is just to make their attributes, abilities and talents reflect them with more intuitive data.

In addition to these, many high-AI NPCs are essentially not much different from humans, and are all conscious individuals with their own will.

The more you dig into the game, the more you will be able to spot this, or rather, a part of the gamers is already starting to notice it.

100 years ago, human beings, artificial intelligence, which was once extremely fearful, was quietly born from virtual games in this era.

Ning Yi was curious about who had invented the core system of the Phantom World, and why such a controversial thing had been created.

Transcending dimensions and creating living beings is already a realm that only gods can set foot in.

Of course, for Ning Yi, he didn't have much reverence for the gods, he was just purely curious, under the system of scientific and technological civilization, what kind of ways and means would humans on the earth use to break through this immortal difference.

In a sense, the immortal path that the monk wanted to pursue was actually inspired by Shinto.

The difference is that immortals do not need to rely on the world and sentient beings, do not need to rely on faith and willingness, and can break through the shackles and limitations of mortal things and enter a higher dimension.

It's just a pity that this road is too difficult.

When Ning Yi was in the Xuantian Realm, he had failed, and at that time, he had already stood at the peak of all beings and saw the threshold of the Immortal Dao.

However, when I wanted to cross it, I failed at that last step.

But fortunately, this failure is not the end, and Ning Yi still has a chance.

The game of Phantom World is the best experimental platform before he achieves his ultimate goal.

The so-called life is actually just a bigger game.

……

Leaving the game, Ning Yi logged in to the internal network of the Deep Blue Lab, and just wanted to see the progress, but received an email prompt from the host's brain.

"Huh? Has the killing algorithm been deciphered? ”

Ning Yi was slightly surprised, clicked on this email that had been locked by several encryption programs, only the corresponding electronic key could be opened, and any brute force cracking would trigger the self-destruction of the email.

The content of the email is a Ningyi killing algorithm.

Last time, after Ning Yi and Lin Luo communicated, all they got was an idea, a theory, and it was not so easy to combine these ideas, ideas and theories into a technology that could be used practically.

In fact, Ning Yi wanted to comprehend a set of swordsmanship from the killing algorithm that could anticipate the enemy's opportunity and wait for the opportunity.

If it weren't for the earth, if it wasn't for the contact with the brain system here, Ning Yi wanted to sort out this knowledge, understand it thoroughly, and summarize a set of swordsmanship, the time it would take to get a nail and spend more than sixty years.

No matter how much the monk's brain function is improved, in the face of mechanical algorithms, it still cannot be compared with the super intelligent brain of human beings.

It needs to process massive data streams, and it needs to calculate and deduce astronomical calculations, and the brain is not only more efficient, but also can run like this without sleeping, eating or drinking.

But the human brain is not good, and I don't want to retreat and do penance.

After coming here for more than ten years, he has fallen in love with the fast pace of life on earth, and there are better tools that he does not use, but he comes to make things difficult for himself, this is not penance, this is hard work.

So Ning Yi used the scientific research brain of the Deep Blue Laboratory, anyway, he had complete access rights, and no one dared to put his beak when he occupied some opportunities.

With the highest authority in the laboratory, Ning Yi logged into the Deep Blue system and called up his long-awaited killing algorithm.

The ever-changing attack routines are counted and categorized in the form of mathematical models, turning them into a set of combat modes that can deal with any situation.

The mechanism of action of the killing algorithm is not complicated, it fights the enemy, then collects data, quickly analyzes the opponent's action logic, attack habits and his strength, and then makes targeted counterattacks.

If it's a scientist, once he's got the killing algorithm, he'll definitely add it to his tactical goggles to help him defeat powerful enemies with various visual cues.

But Ning Yi is not a scientist, and the monk can not only change the external form of matter, but also the internal logic of consciousness!

Ning Yi integrated his own killing algorithm that had been summarized into the depths of his sea of consciousness through consciousness programming.

Without the help of any instruments and equipment, he can perfectly understand and use the killing algorithm with just his own brain!
