"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on triggering the subordinate task 'learning', Du Lisan will cherish the opportunity to learn from Wu Peifu to command the troops, and his command ability will be greatly improved."

Du Lisan is also a celebrity in history, but he is not a top-level NPC, not even a high-level NPC. He is best known for his marksmanship, his commander attribute is just average, and his ability to learn from Wu Peifu will be further improved.

Chen Hao was very happy to see the second system prompt, in the game, the NPC subordinates hired by the player may have an accidental event with an increase in ability value, and the most common thing is to trigger a learning task. There is a prerequisite for triggering such a chance event, that is, the subordinate must be a well-known NPC, which is one of the reasons why players like to take in well-known NPCs.

The first system prompt is very common, and after recruiting NPCs, players occasionally have to appease their NPCs and give them what they want. If a player draws a pie for an NPC to see, NPC loyalty will increase on the spot, but if the player just lets his mouth open, the consequences will be severe.

NPCs can't eat that pie when they see it, and after a long time, they will naturally become dissatisfied with the player, and their loyalty will decrease over time. There is also a downside to the player's lack of trust in their subordinates, as once the NPC determines that the player is lying to themselves, it is likely to trigger the betrayal mission.

When a player hires an NPC, the NPC's loyalty is between 50 and 70, and the NPC will never betray if the loyalty is above 70. When Chen Hao subdued Du Lisan, his loyalty was 60 points, and recently he has been very used under Chen Hao, and his loyalty has increased by 3 points, plus this time his loyalty will reach 68 points with 5 points, and he is only two points short of 70.

Chen Hao has the Emperor's Mind Technique, and Du Lisan will never betray him, but it doesn't mean that loyalty is useless. NPCs with loyalty above 70 will do their best, and when they are below 70, they will occasionally slack off, less than sixty is perfunctory, less than fifty is passive slacking, and they will not pay attention to anything.

It's like scoring some services in reality, the higher the score, the better the service, and the higher the loyalty of the NPC, the more dedicated it is. Du Lisan is a celebrity in the game, and he also has a pistol stunt, and Chen Hao has always been ready to focus on cultivating him. Even if the learning task is not triggered this time, he will send Du Lisan to the military school for further study, Du Lisan took the initiative to follow Wu Peifu to learn, which strengthened Chen Hao's idea of reusing him.

Even if a crow looks for the most beautiful feathers in the world to decorate itself, it is still a crow; No matter how much the Japanese glorify history, they still can't hide their bestial behavior. Players send NPCs to study is a way to improve NPCs' abilities, but each NPC has different potential, and sending NPCs to further study also requires NPCs to have that talent.

"Genius is equal to 99 percent sweat and 1 percent effort, but that 1 percent talent is more important." If a person does not have a certain talent, no matter how good the conditions are created for him to develop in that direction, he will not be able to reach the top. The same is true of the setting in the game, the player's ability to improve the NPC should also be based on his talent, generally speaking, well-known NPCs can learn to gain something, and players can only find Puyu with unlimited potential in the obscure NPC when they hit the luck.

Chen Hao attaches great importance to Yang Du's stunt "eyesight", and even feels that the value of this stunt is not under the "Emperor's Mind", and with this stunt, Yang Du is likely to discover Puyu for him. Every time he hires NPCs, he can ask Yang Du to take a look at all the NPCs that may have potential, and then train some middle and low-level officers.

The use of Yang Du's eyesight stunts will consume satiety, and the number of times he can use it per day is limited, so discovering talent is a long-term process. After hiring an NPC, the player can see his current stats, but there is no way to discover the potential of the NPC, and Yang Du's "eyesight" stunt has this ability. Chen Hao was ready to send Du Lisan to the military academy because Yang Du told him that Du Lisan had a talent for growth in this area.

Chen Hao said that letting Du Lisan hold a higher military position in the future is not a mouthful, as the number of soldiers hired by his subordinates increases, Du Lisan and Wu Peifu will be reused. After making a commitment to Du Lisan, he will continue to reuse Du Lisan, and Du Lisan's loyalty will definitely be increased by ten points again.

Although the current Du Lisan is very powerful as a single soldier, he does not command the stunts, and if he leads the troops, he must be equipped with a deputy who can apply the stunts. After triggering the learning task, Du Lisan, who is learning to lead troops, can add at least one B-level commander stunt, and Chen Hao will have one more general.

Chen Hao's positioning of Wu Peifu is a corps-level commander, but he has no officers under him other than Wu Peifu, and he still lacks talents. In the troops of the Yingkou Patrol Battalion, the officers at the battalion and company level are all horse bandit leaders, and the vast majority of horse bandit leaders do not have the talent of commanding, so letting them lead the troops may weaken the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In the game, if an NPC unit does not consider the commander's command ability and stunt amplification, if the troops are all level 40 ordinary soldiers and all equipped with rifles, the system determines that the combat effectiveness of each soldier is 1, and the overall combat effectiveness of this unit is the number of soldiers multiplied by 1.

If this unit is equipped with tanks, artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns, etc., each weapon will have a certain increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the system has a fixed calculation formula. If there are qualified officers from top to bottom in the troops, the combat effectiveness of each officer who is competent in the unit will increase.

Therefore, even if the player has countless money, he still has to consider the problem of talent when expanding the army, and the army without the expansion of grassroots officers is also a rabble. When the player's level is upgraded to level 50, the minimum of each attribute will be 50 points, and the higher the attributes, the more difficult it is to improve, and when the attributes are above 80, the difference in attributes is very large.

Players can be fully qualified as junior officers in the later stage according to their stats, but it is impossible for a large number of NPC troops to be incorporated into the player.

The combat effectiveness of the player troops and the NPC troops are two completely different systems, and the combat effectiveness of the player troops depends on the player himself, while the combat effectiveness of the NPC troops has a lot to do with the commander. It's okay for a unit to have a high level of officer being held by the player, but if there are a large number of players serving as a junior officer, it can lead to confusion of command.

In the game, after the player establishes a base, the NPC troops and the player troops are basically distinct. Chen Hao mainly develops the army with NPCs, so NPC grassroots officers are very important to him, and he will be happy every time he adds one.

Du Lisan was full of smiles after triggering the learning task, Chen Hao also smiled happily, and when Du Lisan was about to leave, he stopped him and said: "Lisan, be more careful when recruiting militia horse bandits, I have offended some strangers recently, you are my right-hand man, I am worried that they will attack you." ”

Du Lisan looked back gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern, my subordinates will definitely be careful." By the way, my lord, I used to think that the recruits had to be loyal to you, so I didn't think about those who wanted to serve in Yingkou but didn't want to be loyal to you, and there was one thing I almost forgot to tell you. ”

Chen Hao said with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter?" ”

Du Lisan said with a smile: "When I was recruiting militia groups in Haicheng and Liaoyang, I met two guys who didn't know the height of the sky. They didn't want to become the private army of the adults, they just wanted to be attached to the camp to receive military salaries, and they were ashamed to ask the adults to meet them in person, so I refused. ”

Chen Hao's heart moved, the characters in the game who put on such a shelf were likely to be well-known NPCs, so he asked a little eagerly: "What are the names of these two militia leaders?" ”

Du Lisan said with a smile: "The name of the person who is active in Haicheng is Zhang Zuolin, and he has more than 200 guns under his command, and the name of the person who is active in Liaoyang is Feng Delin, who has one or two thousand men and horses, and his strength is not weak. ”

The expression on Chen Hao's face was very exciting, he didn't expect Du Lisan to talk about these two famous characters, Zhang Zuolin is a top NPC in the game, and Feng Delin is also a senior NPC. Because these two are involved in a lot of plots, Chen Hao classified them as the category that cannot be accepted, Feng Delin is somewhat more or less possible, and Zhang Zuolin is absolutely impossible for any player to be subdued.

The most difficult NPC in the game to subdue is the kind of person who has become a hero in history, and this kind of NPC has high scheming attributes and ambitions, how can it be easy to be loyal to the player? Even if this kind of person takes the initiative to become a private soldier, Chen Hao will not dare to accept it, because his top-level scheming stunt is the emperor's mental trick rather than benevolence.

The creation design of the game is extremely strict, and the NPC that was the boss in history has high scheming attributes, and will definitely not be bound by the emperor's mental stunts. For example, Zhang Zuolin, even if he takes refuge in Chen Hao, because he is scheming, he will not be bound by the emperor's mental stunts, and when he has the opportunity to be his own boss, he will definitely start anew.

By the time Chen Hao's scheming attribute was raised to a higher level than Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin had already started anew and was not his subordinate, and the restraints of the emperor's mental technique were still ineffective. And another scheming class top stunt Ren Zheng only exists in legends, and will not appear in the early stage like the Emperor's Heart Stunt, when some players learn this top stunt, those NPCs who are the bosses in history are ambitious, and it is impossible to join the players who will be Ren Zheng.

This is a dead knot set by the system, and it can't be untied no matter how it is untied, so Chen Hao has never considered Zhang Zuolin. Hearing Du Lisan say that he was considering cooperating with these two people, the top priority now was to deal with Zengqi and Xuanyuan Jian, if he could win over Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, plus some of their well-known NPCs, he would not be unavailable when the war began.

The times create heroes, but heroes can't get ahead in history if they don't have the ability, and he believes that these well-known NPCs will surprise him. After making up his mind, Chen Hao said to Du Lisan: "You immediately go to Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, and say that I agree with them and am willing to let them serve in Yingkou." ”
