Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 579 Civilization
As expected of a BOSS guarding the gate, the rewards were incredibly generous. Not only did it contribute a huge amount of experience, but it also dropped three treasures.

There is no need to say much about the Ancient Ingot Knife. Although it is only a first-level weapon, its damage of 30 cuts and 25 stabs is considered excellent even for a second-level weapon. Add to that the double-added attributes of 3 stamina and 2 strong attacks, as well as the powerful attack special skill Breaking Army Slash, and it is truly worthy of the word "top-quality".

The Reed Leaf Spear is even better, reaching the fifth tier epic level of item equipment. The damage of 30 stabs is enough to scare even the second tier soldiers. The double attribute of 4 stamina and 2 strong attacks even surpasses the ancient ingot knife. Although the weapon's special skill "Control the Barbarians" has certain limitations, it is also more outstanding.

As for the final Taiping Order...

The core of civilization!

Even Xu Yang did not expect that this "gatekeeper BOSS" would actually give him a civilized item, which could be the core of civilization that could transform the town hall.

Civilization is the foundation of a lord's conquest and the core of development. Every civilization item has great value, not to mention the civilization core. The average price of the civilization cores Xu Yang saw in several major trading houses was 200,000 to 300,000 Tongtian coins, and the price of some powerful civilizations could reach 500,000 to 600,000.

This shows that the value of the core of civilization can completely enable the lower-class lords who have nothing to turn their fortunes around.

Of course, this is a paradox, because the civilization core is too rare. Even a gatekeeper BOSS like the Yellow Turban Demon General has an extremely low probability of dropping such items. Xu Yang was able to get it not because he was extremely lucky, but because he used a cheat and managed to solo the gatekeeper BOSS.

The battle just now seemed easy, but it was actually extremely dangerous. It was like walking on a tightrope. If you were not careful, you would lose everything and there would be no recovery.

That is to say, it was him, with the accumulation of several lifetimes, who had reached the limit of his level in terms of both experience and skills. This was why he was able to kill the Yellow Turban Demon General by himself.

Even so, his victory was not easy. He fought at the cost of his life and lost the cast iron spear, a rare weapon that he bought at a high price.

If it were another lord, if he wanted to defeat this final BOSS, he would have to train at least a 100-man army of considerable strength, with a dozen elite soldiers leading dozens of veteran soldiers, plus a portion of cannon fodder to fill in the gaps, to be able to kill the Yellow Turban Demon General without causing any serious damage.

This is where the contradiction lies. With so many soldiers sharing the "experience", the reward for killing the BOSS can be imagined. Not to mention the core of civilization such as the Taiping Order, it would be considered luck if you could get an ancient ingot knife.

Therefore, this is a paradox. Generally, lords do not have the strength to kill BOSS alone, and killing in a group will greatly reduce the post-war benefits, and such high-quality loot cannot be dropped at all, making the reward for guarding the BOSS just icing on the cake at most, and it is difficult to make a comeback.

Life is hard, how can we relieve our worries?
The only way is to cheat!
Xu Yang shook his head and directly equipped himself with the ancient ingot knife and reed leaf spear. His physical strength attribute soared to 25 points, and his powerful attack skill also reached the second stage and fourth level, which increased his attack power incomparably.

This is a world where the "data law" is alienated, so the lord also has the concept of "equipment bar". Under normal circumstances, the general lord can only equip five pieces of equipment such as helmet, top, pants, wrist gloves, greaves and boots, plus four weapons.

Although reality is not a game, you can put on eight or ten pieces of armor and even provide protection, but it is only a protective effect and the various attribute bonuses of the equipment will not be calculated.

The attribute bonuses of the Ancient Ingot Knife and Reed Leaf Spear are effective before the lord's level reaches the second level, and even exceeds the level limit. Therefore, although Xu Yang is still a first-level lord now, his powerful attack skill has reached the fourth level of the second level.

"This lord's rank doesn't seem to have a direct relationship with strength."

"Just like the earthly deity of the original world, the status is the status, and the cultivation is the cultivation."

“For example, the Black Water River God, although he is only a small god of the third or fourth order, it does not prevent him from reaching the fifth or sixth order, the transformation of spirits and the return to the void, or even the seventh order and the eighth calamity of the combined Mahayana.”

"The rank of lord is a status!"

"Attribute skills are strength!"

"in this case……"

Xu Yang's eyes changed and suspicion arose in his heart again.

But as I said, without evidence and ability, it is all in vain to think too much.

So soon, Xu Yang put his suspicion aside and started adding points.

Killing the Yellow Turban Demon General gained a massive amount of experience, directly raising his character level from level seven to level ten, and gaining three attribute points and three skill points.

There's not much to say, the attribute still increases physical strength, and the skill strengthens the bow.

In this way, his physical strength attribute reached an astonishing 28 points, and the level of the strong bow also reached the first level six. It was just enough to equip the previous iron bow and the general quiver that just exploded, filling up four "weapon slots!"

General Arrow Bag
Equipment level: Level 1 (top quality)

Equipment attributes: 10 thorns (30/30)

Equipment Special Skill: Quiver (Automatically generates an arrow every ten minutes, with a maximum of thirty arrows. The arrow loses its effect and automatically dissipates ten minutes after leaving the quiver)
Equipment introduction: A magical quiver, seemingly blessed with divine power, with an inexhaustible supply of arrows.

……

There is nothing much to say about this quiver. It goes very well with the iron-framed bow and has an automatic arrow replenishment function, which can save a lot of money.

After equipping the bow and arrow, Xu Yang was fully armed. He wore a tattered turban, tattered cloth shoes, a thin pair of torn shorts, a thick tiger-skin coat, an ancient ingot knife on the right side of his waist, a general's arrow on the left, an iron-framed bow on his back, and a reed-leaf spear in his hand.

How should I describe this design? It’s mainly practical!
What, image?

Why do you need to have an image in your own territory? Do you want to show it to those half-stupid farmers?

In other words, he still had a little sense of shame and self-respect, otherwise he would not even wear the college uniform and would just kill monsters "naked".

But it was also an accident, otherwise, instead of the cloth clothes feature, a "naked clothes" feature would have been really useless. Even though he had already seen through the world and didn't care about the physical appearance, he didn't want to fight with others like this.

……

Wearing a set of strange equipment, Xu Yang did not waste time and immediately returned to the town hall.

The new lord has a one-month safe period. During this month, no special events will occur in the territory, and the territory will not be attacked by outsiders.

This is a powerful protection for others, but for Xu Yang, it is a bit useless, because in just two days, he has killed all the initial monsters in the territory. In the next 28 days, he will have no monsters to kill, and he cannot even do the "advanced tasks".

But it doesn't matter. Xu Yang has always been a peace-loving person. Compared to killing monsters and leveling up, he prefers farming to develop. He did so many things in the past, all out of necessity. There was always someone forcing him, and he had no choice.

Now...

Back in the town hall, Xu Yang used the Taiping Order without saying a word.

I don’t know whether it is the inevitability of the world’s development or some unexpected coincidence, but there are always some coincidences in all things in the universe, such as civilization and race, history and dynasties.

Therefore, this world also has the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming dynasties, and even the "Yellow Turbans" have been replicated.

However, that was a very long time ago, tens of thousands of years ago, and it belonged to the ancient civilization before the construction of the Tower of Babel. These ancient civilizations had always lived under the shadow of the demons, and were destroyed by the demons every once in a while. One era after another, countless civilizations and countless races were enslaved by the demons and harvested by them. It was not until the appearance of the Tower of Babel that this desperate situation was broken.

What kind of secrets are hidden behind this?
Xu Yang didn’t know, but he believed that one day he would be able to uncover it and figure out the whole story.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

A burst of shouts interrupted Xu Yang's thoughts. When he came to his senses, he saw a flash of yellow light. His town hall had changed its appearance and turned into a building with Taoist style and homestay style.

Yellow Turban Camp
Building level: Level 1 (rare)
Building Civilization: Yellow Turbans

Resources: 225 food, 85 wood
Arrowhead troops: Yellow Turbans (30/30)

Building skills: Defense (when attacked by foreign enemies, the Yellow Turbans can be temporarily transformed into the Yellow Turban Army to participate in the battle)
Civilization Traits: Yellow Turbans (The Blue Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should be established. The Taiping Dao can convert all peasant units into the Yellow Turban Army, and all units below the third level only consume food and do not require funds for maintenance)
Building introduction: The Yellow Turban Camp was built in obedience to the order of the "Great Sage Teacher"!
"..."

Looking at the information about the Yellow Turban camp, Xu Yang fell into deep thought.

Judging from the characteristics of civilization alone, the Yellow Turban civilization is not very strong. Converting farmers into soldiers ensures sufficient manpower. Soldiers below the third level only consume food and not funds, so they can only maintain the army on a large scale.

Although the combination of the two is terrifying, this is not a change of dynasties in the mortal world, but a battle between gods and demons among all races. If there is only quantity but no quality, then apart from being cannon fodder, you can only gain experience for the other side.

Xu Yang didn't say much and just recruited a group of "Yellow Turbans".

After a short while, a thin man wearing a yellow scarf, ragged clothes, and looking extremely weak walked out of the camp.

Before Xu Yang had time to check his attributes, a soft sound echoed in his mind.

"You built a civilized building - the Yellow Turban Camp!"

"As the leader of a civilization, you gain a civilization-exclusive skill - Yellow Turban!"

"..."

Hearing the prompt sound from the Tower of Babel, Xu Yang frowned and looked at his attribute panel.

Special Skill: Yellow Turban (Civilization)
Skill introduction: The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky is established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is prosperous (When the number of Yellow Turban Army reaches 1, all arms, including heroes and lords, will get % of the highest attribute and morale improvement, and this effect can be stacked infinitely)

"..."

Looking at the skill introduction, Xu Yang fell silent.

He finally understood what the core of the Yellow Turban civilization was.

There are so many people!

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!
A civilization trait can convert a large number of Yellow Turban Army, and a civilization skill can improve the quality of the Yellow Turban Army by relying on quantity.

Although the improvement is not much, with 1 Yellow Turbans, the highest attribute and morale can be increased by %, but it can be stacked infinitely.

One hundred thousand is ten percent, one million is one hundred percent, ten million is one thousand percent...

As long as you gather hundreds of millions of Yellow Turbans, the highest attribute can be increased a hundred times, and even the weakest soldiers can become peerless warriors.

Not to mention that this skill can also work on lords and heroes. If Xu Yang's combat effectiveness is increased a hundredfold, what's the difference between that and driving a mecha?
With this thought in mind, Xu Yang began to check the attributes of the refugees in front of him.

Yellow Turbans

Morale: 50
Arms level: Level 1 (normal)
Soldier attributes: 1 physical strength, 1 intelligence, 1 charm.

Specialty of Soldier Class: Yellow Turban

Introduction to the troops: The refugees who have lost everything, are hungry and insecure, and following the Great Sage is their only hope.

"..."

Although he was mentally prepared, Xu Yang still fell silent after seeing the characteristics of the Yellow Turbans.

Do you have to be so weak?
Even the ordinary farmers recruited by the Tower of Babel have three points in physical strength attribute. What's wrong with you? Can you still do the work?
Could this be the weakest civilized military force in history?
"Lord Qu Shuai!"

Just as Xu Yang was sighing, a respectful title from the Yellow Turbans drew his attention back.

The skinny and sallow Yellow Turbans looked at him timidly, "Can you give me some food? I'm really starving."

"..."

Xu Yang was silent for a while, then nodded: "Go!"

"Yes!"

The Yellow Turbans were delighted, turned around and walked into the camp, picked up a few salted fish and started eating them on the spot.

But for a moment...

"You rewarded the Yellow Turbans."

"The Yellow Turbans ate five salted fish."

"Yellow Turbans' morale +10."

"The Yellow Turbans gained 50 experience points."

"The Yellow Turbans can now upgrade!"

"..."
