Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 598 The arrival of the army
Time flies, and January is already here.

Inside the restaurant, Xu Yang was concentrating on controlling the heat and steaming a basket of pancakes.

This world is very special. Due to digitalization, the laws of matter have been changed beyond recognition. It is not just as simple as becoming impossible to practice. A lot of knowledge and principles are no longer applicable.

Take Xu Yang as an example. In addition to Taoism and martial arts, he also has accumulated many skills and arts in all aspects.

Theoretically speaking, even if he were thrown into a prehistoric world with a deserted civilization, he could create a complete technological system with his bare hands, including nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and spacecraft.

But it doesn't work in this world. Even if he can rub out a nuclear bomb with his bare hands, without the corresponding skills or attributes, this "nuclear bomb" can only be used as a decoration and does not have any lethality.

But what’s interesting is that although the world has been digitized, it is not completely digitized.

Many aspects are close to reality. For example, the tavern cannot automatically "refresh" food, and cooks must be stationed to make it.

In addition, various types of knowledge have not completely lost their effect. Although you cannot directly rely on your knowledge reserves to make a nuclear bomb, in the process of making a nuclear bomb, you have a certain probability of mastering skills such as "nuclear bomb manufacturing" or opening the corresponding civilization technology tree.

In a word, just one word - endure!

As long as you have enough patience and perseverance, and keep doing something, you will definitely be rewarded. Even if you cannot generate special skills, you can still improve some basic skills and attribute values.

This has the same effect as Xu Yang's "plug-in", so he has an advantage in this regard.

"manufacture complete!"

"You got 20 pancakes, 10 Wuda pancakes, and 3 secret Wuda pancakes!"

"You have successfully made a special food, and you have gained a special skill - Skillful Cooking!"

Special skills: Skillful cooking (can make various special foods according to secret recipes or the teachings of famous teachers, improve the success rate of making special foods, improve the economic benefits of tavern buildings and their attractiveness to various talents, and gain experience when successfully making special foods)
Skill introduction: You are already a qualified chef, challenge yourself to a higher level of cooking skills!
……

"My lord is truly a genius!"

Seeing the familiar aroma coming from the steamer, Wu Zhi, who was watching from the sidelines, hurried forward.

"Although making pancakes is a trivial skill, it is not something that ordinary people can learn, especially the secret recipe. From selecting ingredients and mixing dough to steaming, the vision, technique, and heat must all be good, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, even for a humble person, it is difficult to succeed in making pancakes."

"Only a genius like you, my lord, who has mastered the art of cooking, could master this cooking skill in just one month. I, watching from the sidelines, also felt enlightened and benefited greatly..."

Wu Zhi expressed his admiration for a while, and the prompt sound of the Tower of Babel sounded.

"Thanks to your teaching, Wu Zhi's cooking skills have greatly improved!"

"Wu Zhi gained 5000 experience points."

"Wu Zhi has been promoted to level 6."

"Takeshi's Intelligence +5, Charisma +2."

"Wu Zhi has obtained the hero's special skill - skillful cooking!"

"Wu Zhi's favorability towards you has increased to 100."

"You and Wu Zhi's "Skillful Cooking" skills complement each other, forming a combined stunt - two chefs go out to sea!"

Two chefs go out to sea
Skill type: Combined stunt (Xu Yang + Wu Zhi)

Skill Effect: Two chefs join forces to display their culinary skills (the success rate of making special food is greatly increased, there is a chance to improve the quality of special food, and the experience points gained after successfully making special food are doubled)
Skill introduction: Egg fried rice, the simplest and the most difficult...

Because his body was too weak, Xu Yang couldn't even practice sparring for the past month. He could only tinker with cooking in this tavern. In the end, he actually made a name for himself and acquired another special skill.

Although this skill can only be used to make Wuda pancakes at present, it is still pretty good. This special food that increases physical strength is an absolute best-seller in the Tower of Babel, and selling it can bring good economic benefits.

This thing is similar to elixir. Although there are material costs and labor costs, as well as the risk of production failure, the advantage is that there is a huge demand, small profits but quick turnover. As long as the proficiency is improved and the success rate is increased, it can make a lot of money, not to mention making a fortune every day. It is a very promising "side job!"

Finally, because of their favorability, he and Wu Zhi combined to develop a special skill, "Double Chefs Going Out to Sea", which can greatly increase the success rate of making special foods and bring the economic benefits to a higher level.

Combination skills are the effect of "favorability". They can not only improve the relationship between the lord and the hero and avoid disunity, but also develop the hero's abilities and even respond to the lord to form special combination skills, such as this pair of chefs going out to sea.

Of course, this is a probability and may not necessarily be generated. It also depends on the skill compatibility of the lord and the hero. For example, the two chefs going out to sea is the result of Xu Yang and Wu Zhi both being "skillful in cooking."

On the other hand, although Hua Mulan's favorability with Xu Yang is much higher than Wu Zhi's, they have not yet developed a combination of skills because they do not have compatible skills.

But it doesn’t matter. Time is the most magical magician. As long as they persevere, Xu Yang believes that there will always be special skills that are suitable for the two of them.

……

Although he had just acquired a combination skill, Xu Yang did not stay in the tavern to continue making pancakes with Wu Zhi, but returned to the Yellow Turban camp to prepare for battle.

The one-month safe period has ended, and his injuries have not yet recovered. In the coming period of time, the territory will face the most severe challenges.

Lord: Xu Yang

Territory Civilization: Yellow Turbans

Territory buildings: Yellow Turban Camp X1, Yellow Turban Parade Ground X5, Fish Market Wharf X10, Wuda Restaurant X1, Lumberyard X1, Mine X1, Blacksmith Shop X10, Jin Kingdom Blacksmith Shop X1, Jurchen Horse Ranch X3, Well X40, Tower X200, City Wall X3200, City Gate X4, Farmland X300, Fish Farm X200, and Houses X1000.

Territory troops: 7965 (2235 elite Yellow Turbans, 100 Yellow Turban infantry, 100 Yellow Turban spearmen, 3000 elite Yellow Turban infantry, 2000 elite Yellow Turban spearmen, 90 battle-hardened Mulan female archers, 210 elite Mulan female archers, 200 elite Mulan female archers, 30 elite Wuda cooks)

Territory resources: 285000 food (115000 salted fish, 135000 wheat, 3000 pancakes, 4800 Wuda pancakes, 200 secret Wuda pancakes), 2500 wood, 1200 stone, 1100 iron ingots, 7850 fodder, and 1000 spirit stones.

……

In just one month, the development of the territory has been rapid, if not earth-shaking.

First of all, in terms of buildings, five military buildings of the barracks type have been added. The generation of economic buildings such as the Yellow Turban Parade Ground, fish market dock, farmland houses, blacksmith shops and horse ranches has also been greatly improved.

Nowadays, not only is the core "Inner Island Base" full of buildings, but even the "Grassland Outer City" outside the water is very prosperous. A large number of houses, wells, and blacksmith shops form a community, and the city is surrounded by 800-meter-wide walls on all sides. There are also intimidating towers with 200 crossbows on top of the walls.

Whether it is civilian facilities, military buildings, or urban defense, they have all reached a considerable level.

This is the building aspect, let's look at the territory troops. Because of the effect of Hua Mulan "joining the army in place of her father", the number of recruits for all basic buildings in the territory has doubled, so in the past month, Xu Yang has directly maxed out the recruitment and training sequence and started a vigorous "big troop explosion" plan.

The final result was a territory force of nearly 8,000 people, including 3,000 Yellow Turban infantry and 2,000 Yellow Turban spearmen. Although their combat effectiveness was weak, they could be used after being promoted to elite levels through food rewards. In addition, there were 200 "brave" Yellow Turban soldiers and more than 2,000 Yellow Turbans as reserves, who could be deployed to the battlefield at critical moments.

In addition to the Yellow Turban Army, Hua Mulan's female guards were also well trained. The 90 battle-experienced Mulan archers were the result of the last capture of territory. The remaining 210 Mulan archers and the newly trained Mulan archers also reached elite level under her training.

There is no doubt that Hua Mulan and her female guards will become the main force in guarding the territory.

Unfortunately, the personal guards are affected by the number of troops commanded by the hero and cannot be trained indefinitely. Otherwise, if he could train several thousand female personal guards, his territory would be absolutely safe.

These are Mulan's female guards. As for Wu Da's cooks, due to his touching charm, there are only thirty of them at present, and only one tavern building can be built in the first-level territory, so they cannot expand and there is no need for them to go to the battlefield.

The Yellow Turban Army and the Mulan Army are the only two troops that Xu Yang can rely on.

Finally, let’s look at the resource reserves. Because a large number of fish farms and farmlands have been built and the hundreds of miles of water and vast grasslands have been fully utilized, Xuyang’s food resources are very sufficient.

On the contrary, there was a shortage of wood, stone, and iron ingots. In order to build city defenses, he had to use up the spoils of the last territory battle and even used the resources for the construction of the wonders of civilization.

There was no other way. The next three months would be the most difficult time for his territory. Without the present, there would be no future, so Xu Yang made the investment decisively.

The result of the investment was a city wall that was 800 meters wide and more than ten meters high, with 200 towers on the wall.

With such city defense and such troops, at the first level, it would not be difficult to defend for three years, let alone three months.

But there is a saying that goes, people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of becoming fat.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!
Reputation list, rookie list!
in this way……

"The Lord of the Demon Abyss "Augustus" has used the War Order (designated) to attack your territory!"

"The Lord of the Demon Abyss "Augustus" used the War Order (Legion) to launch a joint attack on your territory!"

"The Lord of the Demon Abyss "Zhao Wuji" has joined the war using the war order (coalition forces)!"

"The Lord of the Demon Abyss "Adams" has joined the war using the war order (coalition)!"

"The battle orders (legions) used by the enemy are of the first-class quality. You must use 200 common battle orders or 50 rare battle orders to resist this attack."

"There are not enough war orders, the war defense has failed, the enemy army will arrive in your territory in three hours, please prepare for defense."

"..."

A cold reminder sound came from the Tower of Babel. Xu Yang frowned and walked towards the Yellow Turban camp without saying a word.

Just as mentioned before, people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat!

The Rookie List and the Reputation List, as public lists, are watched by countless people. All major forces and many lords are studying them painstakingly.

What to study?
I am studying which persimmon is weak and which lord can be controlled.

Now, Xu Yang has become a soft persimmon that can be exploited in the eyes of others.

Because his speed of "ranking and upgrading" was so fast, he was ranked over 9,000 on the rookie list just after leaving the safe period. After that, he helped Zhang Yan defend the city and won a lot of rewards, including weapons, equipment, arms and heroes, and jumped directly to over 8,000 on the rookie list.

That would have been fine, but in the end he captured a territory, killed two lords, and obtained two second-tier legendary equipment and a large amount of loot. He completed the territory expansion while other rookie lords were still resisting the attacks of the veteran lords. This made his ranking on the rookie list jump to more than three thousand.

Although the lords who made it to the list were all "one in a billion", and the gap between them was not very large, a jump from eight thousand to three thousand was too exaggerated. Generally speaking, such a jump in ranking was only possible with a major opportunity or by conquering a powerful territory.

Whether it is to obtain a major opportunity or to capture a powerful territory, one must pay a huge price, otherwise the Tower of Babel will not give a month of safe time to recuperate.

Therefore, Xu Yang, whose ranking jumped rapidly, became a fat sheep in the eyes of all parties. As soon as the safe time was over, a powerful lord used precious designated battle orders and legion battle orders to launch a legion war on his territory.

Xu Yang took a look at the reputation list of Moyuan and found that these three people were on the list. Among them, "Augustus" ranked more than 6,000, and the remaining "Zhao Wuji" and "Adams" were also ranked more than 7,000.

This is like treating him as a piece of fat meat and they will not stop until they swallow it.

Although he was well prepared, Xu Yang still decisively sought reinforcements in the face of such a situation.

however……

A moment later, there was a flash of white light, and the four people followed Xu Yang and appeared in the Yellow Turban camp.

Zhang Yan Feng Cheng!

He only found two reinforcements.
There was no way. Before his memory was restored, his popularity was average. This time he was facing a joint attack from more than 6,000 and 7,000 people on the reputation list. How could ordinary people have the courage to lend him a helping hand?

As for the major forces, although they have some ideas, they are more or less willing to take advantage of the situation, and some even have bad intentions. Xu Yang is too lazy to waste time with them.

So in the end, there was only the friendly assistance of Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng.

But it doesn’t matter. Xu Yang didn’t expect to get much reinforcements. He was just doing his best.

Looking at the territory built by Xu Yang, Feng Cheng was shocked as always. Only Zhang Yan remained calm and released the soldiers she brought with her. They were all heavy armored infantry and archers of the Song Dynasty civilization, as well as a Beiwei army of fifty people.

In addition to the soldiers, beside her, there is a young general in silver robe and armor, holding two hammers, who is actually an epic hero - Yue Yun!
Even Feng Cheng brought a rare hero and a civilized army. Although there were no special troops, they were still outstanding among ordinary lords.

Obviously, he is not the only one who has made progress during this period.

Looking at the two heroes and soldiers, Xu Yang didn't say much. He directly assigned tasks and placed them on the east wall.

Such and such...

"Preparation time is over, enemy troops are arriving!"

"The enemy lord "Augustus" has activated his special skill - Enemy at the Gate!"

"Your territory is under siege, you cannot enter or leave the Tower of Babel, all first-level production buildings lose their effectiveness, and the morale of all troops decreases by 1 to 5 points every day."
