Chapter 203: The Choice (1)
Hu Bin, who returned to his seat, was not only watched by many numbered people, but also ridiculed by several people at the same table.
"I didn't expect you big bastard to be pretty powerful." Mi Qi looked at Hu Bin with strange eyes, as if she was getting to know him again, and Hu Bin was uncomfortable for a while.
"My brother is the best!" This is Miranda selling cuteness, and Stallone unknowingly fell for it, choking on a sip of wine in his throat.
"That's the 'potential', the ticket to the expert level, Bieber the Ripper has already comprehended his potential, you actually defeated him so easily, where have you got?" The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Fanta is worthy of being a person who aspires to become an intelligence dealer, and he immediately grasped the key to this showdown.
"Guess?" Hu Bin smiled a demonic smile that Fanta hated.
"You monster!" Fanta learned a little from Hu Bin's reaction.
"Brother, what is 'potential'?" Miranda asked puzzled when she heard Fanta's words.
"Although this has nothing to do with your profession, it is better to know a little, so I will briefly tell you about it." Hu Bin did not control the volume, and many numberers who were interested in this pricked up their ears to hear what this senior numberer had to say.
"When the total amount of energy of the fighters of each department is increased to a certain level, no matter how much it is raised, the body cannot hold more energy, and this situation is the so-called bottleneck of the low-level promotion fighters. On this basis, some people have found a way to condense and compress the energy in the body and release it externally to improve the quality and usage of their own energy, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the energy capacity and the power of the moves, which is the fundamental origin of the high-level promotion warrior and the outward type combat skills. Most of the numberers who were already at this stage nodded secretly when they heard this, combined with their own experience of promotion.
"But this kind of improvement will eventually reach a limit, which will make the high-level promotion fighters fall into a bottleneck, and even lose their strength in the battle and slowly weaken. In order to solve this problem, a new method has emerged, and that is to use one's own willpower. Mix your own willpower with your energy. It's like a mage uses spiritual power to communicate with the magical elements between heaven and earth to manipulate his own energy, so that it continues to condense and sublimate, and when all his own energy is qualitatively changed and condensed into one point, these energies will produce qualitative changes. Become a new energy. Because this energy is mixed with the warriors and their strong personal will, and the attributes they embody are also different, it is called the personal 'potential'. Hu Bin paused when he said this, and Miranda nodded suddenly in understanding, and many numberers also nodded in benefit.
Just when everyone thought that Hu Bin would not continue on this topic, Hu Bin opened his mouth again: "When the warrior condenses his own momentum, ......." At this time, even the more powerful senior numberers couldn't sit still, and they all paid attention to this place, and the bar instantly became quiet.
Hu Bin showed a demonic smile at this time, and casually released a silent enchantment, causing everyone to scold in unison.
There were no disturbances among the few people in the barrier. Except for Hu Bin, although the few people sitting there were not fighters, they listened attentively to Hu Bin's explanation of what happened after the expert-level warriors.
"When a warrior condenses his own momentum, his own will will spread outward through this energy, causing others to have a sense of mental oppression, which is what expert fighters call coercion. And the source of energy that is condensed into a point by the warriors is called the heart of the warrior. When the warrior continues to cultivate, he improves and condenses this kind of spiritual energy. When it breaks through the limitations of the body again and spreads out of the body, such a 'potential' can be called a 'field', and some people call it a pseudo-realm, and a warrior with such strength is a rare opponent even at the expert level, and as for the information about a higher-level master warrior, it is not something you should be exposed to now. Hu Bin lightly said the information he had obtained from the goddess of nature. He took a sip of his own wine and moistened his throat, waiting for the others to react.
"It's complicated!" "I don't understand!" Mickey and Miranda's two consecutive hits almost made Hu Bin squirt the wine in his mouth on the spot, but Stallone and Fanta looked pensive and relieved.
"Although it's useless to me, I still want to thank you for your explanation, you're really a good material for Lolita." Stallone said seriously, but Hu Bin preferred that he didn't say anything.
"This one will sell for a lot of money!" Fanta's saliva flowed out. This guy who fell into the eye of money is hopeless.
"If you want to see a group of expert-level warriors who can resist the divine magic in front of you in the next world, sell this news, I don't care anyway!" Hu Bin patted Fanta's shoulder and whispered in his ear, causing his smile to freeze on his face.
"Why!?" Fanta slumped into her chair with a tangled face, looking around. There will definitely be many "old acquaintances" who come to him to inquire about this information.
It didn't take long for Hu Bin and the five of them to separate, Fanta was anxious to find a place to avoid the limelight first, Stallone wanted to meet with a few fellow believers, and Mickey and Miranda looked a little mysterious, obviously planning something. Hu Bin, who had been in Heaven City long enough, finally returned to his initial space, and the time to enter the next mission world was approaching, so he had to hurry up and complete some preparations.
…………
"Su Jia !!!" Hu Bin's ghostly figure blocked his guide Su Jia in the corner, "Can you tell me where the profits from the castle and the village have gone this week?" ”
"It's none of my business, it's Dumb that guy who stole someone else's stuff, and as your pet, of course you will pay for the trouble it causes." Su Jia is still arguing with herself.
"Mmmmmm......mmmm
"yes, dumb, I see!" The black aura on Hu Bin's body seemed to be even stronger, "How did I hear it say that you spent money to buy things, and then insisted on stuffing unknown things into its stomach?" ”
"Oops, forgot that this guy has the ability to understand animals." Su Jia slapped his forehead and screamed, then folded his hands and looked at Hu Bin pitifully with big watery eyes, "Forgive me!" ”
Facing such Su Jia, the black qi on Hu Bin's body gradually dissipated, and he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to rub her head, and then ......
"How can I forgive you!" Hu Bin pinched Su Jia's face and dragged it to the sides.
…………
"Sure enough, it's the most comfortable to sleep in your own bed!" Hu Bin sighed contentedly on his big bed. Su Jia next to her was still asleep, because she checked the accounts yesterday and found out the reason for the shortfall, Hu Bin, who had accumulated a lot of pressure for a long time and needed to vent urgently, punished her severely. Seeing Su Jialu's ketone body outside, Hu Bin couldn't help but want to press it again. But in the end, he dismissed the idea of being a man, and instead got up and dressed and went to meet his two retinues who were in charge of the castle.
"Young Master, this is a briefing for this time! Grimmar's caravan will return in three days, and the captain of the city guard, Okov, and the High Priest, Lord Lorraine, are waiting for you in the halls. "Gerdan managed his territory in good order during this time, but the commercial, military, and religious decentralization made it difficult for him to meddle in it.
"Well done, Gerdan." Hu Bin looked at the briefing briefing and did not hesitate to praise him, except for Su Jia's loss of a large amount of money, the development of the territory has basically been on the right track. The previous problem of rapid growth in the size of towns and the inability of the population to keep up has basically been remedied. Gerdan is not modest, and if he does not even have this bit of self-confidence, he is not worthy to be the steward of his master.
"The gold coins I withdrew last time have been put into storage, and I have opened up some of the rating points to you, so go to Okov and Lorraine to have a look. The rest is up to you. Hu Bin put down the briefing and walked in the direction of the barracks.
"Sir, the military facilities in the castle are very poor, and it is difficult for me to train elite warriors like the Icilian rangers, and the arsenal and blacksmith shop cannot even provide a good bow." Okov seemed distressed, and complained to Gerdan about it more than once.
"Master, the division of the city is almost complete. The number of sacrifices is also basically in line with the requirements, is it time for us to prepare and upgrade the medium-sized temple to a large temple? "As soon as Lorraine met, he blocked Hu Bin, the master.
"Master, as the population increases, our urban sanitation is facing a severe test, and residents are in dire need of recreational measures." Geldan also began to join in the fun at this time.
"The hosts. Although the expansion and upgrading of the city wall has been completed, our city defense system is still incomplete. ”
"Master, there are no magic towers and alchemy workshops in the city, this is the basis for cultivating the power of the law system, are we ready to build them?" ……
Hu Bin was originally confidently preparing to carry out a big construction with more than 5,000 scores. But at this time, he doubted that his family background was enough to toss a few people in front of him. It was obviously unrealistic to build all the missing buildings, so Hu Bin had to take out a few more important construction plans and approve them.
The first is the expansion of Port Hope and the nearby shipyards, although Grimmar has not yet returned with merchant ships, as the most important economic source of interdimensional commerce in the territory, the expansion of the port is imminent, and the construction of larger and safer merchant ships and frigates is also urgent.
At this time, Hu Bin's trading fleet consisted of four medium-sized cargo ships, six small cargo ships, and three small frigates. If the port and shipyard are upgraded, the addition of large cargo ships and large frigates will increase the caravan's trade profits and safety factor by a straight line. The future benefits of this project are very rich, but the cost is also the largest single plan expenditure in the public plan expenditure project, just the expansion of the shipyard will consume Hu Bin's 200 points of rating value and 100,000 gold coins, and the subsequent port expansion and large ship production will require a steady stream of capital investment.
The second was a series of upgrades to the military district, a long-delayed plan that now had enough resources to carry out, and the barracks were prioritized as the first phase of the project, which would allow for the training of qualified infantry city guards of the ordinary class. The purpose of this project was to prioritize the establishment of the City Guard and the accumulation of reserve troops, so that the law and order problems caused by the increase in the urban population could be solved, and the foundation for the establishment of the regular army in the future. As for the shooting range and racetrack that are expected to be planned for the second phase of the project, they are still under consideration. The project cost Hu Bin 100 points and 50,000 gold coins, and then there was an additional expense to recruit and equip the City Watch.
The third is a rather complicated comprehensive urban construction plan, including a series of projects closely related to the prosperity of the city, such as the city's tidy and greening project, sewage and garbage treatment project, sculpture fountain in the city center, and temporary shack demolition and reconstruction projects in residential areas, which cut off 250 points of rating value and a one-time expenditure of 50,000 gold coins from Hu Bin's heart.
The fourth item is to strengthen the construction of city defense, since the last time the fire demon broke through the city gate head-on, the defense of the city wall is a stone in Hu Bin's heart. In addition to the reinforcement of the city wall, many spare gun emplacements and hidden caves were added to the plan, and many small outposts and pillboxes were added to the city, which could serve as a civilian prison while serving as a street fight. However, Hu Bin has not yet found a source of high-quality trebuchets and ballistas. Therefore, these gun emplacements have not yet been installed with war machinery for the time being, and the cost of this has been greatly reduced, only spending Hu Bin 100 ratings and 50,000 gold coins.
**The village is rich in high-quality wine, which has always been Hu Bin's favorite drink; The village of Saddam Hussein is rich in silk. Half of the velvet in the city of Muradine comes from here; Taliban villages, on the other hand, have been engaged in fishing and salt production. The other three new villages, Hu Bin, were only handed over to Geldan for construction, and Geldan, the steward and deputy lord of the city, arranged the three villages in a triangle in a tight interior according to the needs of the city, and spent one hundred and fifty points and a few gold coins to merge them into a medium-sized town, and established a market in the center, which was called Fengshou Town as the main source of all kinds of grain and meat for the territory. Interestingly, Ted's guy actually became the honorary mayor of Harvest Town through Gerdan, and Hu Bin had a hunch that the tax revenue after Harvest Town was estimated to be one-third less.
Stable and continuous tax revenue and material production are the foundation of a territory, and Hu Bin simply waved his pen. Thirty thousand gold coins were given to each village as a development fund for the next period of time.
Seeing that the rating value and gold coins in the inventory were immediately empty, Hu Bin, who had sent away the three of his entourage, walked into the natural temple with vain steps and began his next plan.
Fenrir and Ryan have been here as temple guards since they were resurrected by Hu Bin, and their elven ancestry makes them very satisfied with the environment of the temple. Hu Bin didn't interfere with their choices, not to mention that the two of them had a good foundation. Maybe with the upgrade of the temple, you can eventually be promoted to the rank of Templar.
The few elven archers brought back by Hu Bin all became sacrifices in the temple after passing the special transformation ceremony of the ancient tree of knowledge, which flattered them who were originally just ordinary elves, and the only flaw was that these original elf warriors were all men and had no potential to become high priests.
The Ancient Tree of Knowledge once came up with a solution. It is to directly change the gender of several elves from the material level, which is not a difficult thing for the ancient tree with the blessing of divine power, but Hu Bin still resolutely refused, and after the big deal, let these male priests also become Templars, and it is better not to make a creature like a pseudo-Niang.
Hu Bin's purpose in coming to the temple was to complete his promotion, out of the urgent need for strength of the numberer. The crystallization of faith is naturally a thing that can be used early and reassuring early.
Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi does not exist in space for a long time, and even in Heaven City, it is only found in places like the Temple of the Gods and the Mage Tower, and other areas do not provide enough energy sources for the promotion of the numbered. But the matter related to personal strength is naturally the more secretive the better, let alone such an important matter as promotion.
Originally, the shrine of the goddess of nature was a good choice. But for Hu Bin, such a thing as promotion was not enough to alarm the great god Elune, so he retreated to the temple in his territory, trying to complete the promotion with the help of the rich heaven and earth vitality here.
Hu Bin deliberately sold a small pass before, making Fanta mistakenly think that Hu Bin, who had easily defeated Bieber before, had been promoted to the expert level, which also made all the spectators underestimate the strength of the expert warriors, but only Hu Bin, who had faced the expert level strength, knew what kind of qualitative change would be brought to the strength by taking this small step.
Hu Bin silently took out the crystallization of faith, and there was a mysterious pale green light circulating in the crystal clear gem, and even the ancient tree of knowledge couldn't help but show a trace of emotion, feeling the goddess's favor for this half-elf.
It is not without purpose for Hu Bin to choose this place as a promotion place, after the energy in the belief crystallization is triggered, a large part of it will be scattered in the surrounding environment and wasted, and because these escaping energies are transformed from the power of faith of the goddess of nature, these homologous energies are undoubtedly a rare tonic for the ancient tree of knowledge. If something happens on the way to the promotion, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge will definitely not stand idly by, and the goddess of nature, Elune, can also pay attention to this through the anomaly in the temple, and when the time comes, the safety factor will be guaranteed, and the possibility of pulling him is still quite large.
Keeping in mind the important steps and precautions in the promotion process, Hu Bin took a deep breath, pinched the crystal of faith in his hand vigorously, and stimulated the energy in the crystal with spirit with excitement and apprehension.
