Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 617 Advancement
I have to say that Xu Yang's luck is very good. The legendary hero that came randomly filled one of his vacancies.

Gongshu Ling is a construction hero, a craftsman, blacksmith, and mechanic. His main theme is "Everyone has his own specialty, but I can do it all!"

As a legendary hero, she has four special skills and a luxurious panel.

The daughter of Gongshu provides attribute bonuses of two physiques, six intelligences and two charms. She can gain ten extra attributes when she levels up, and her intelligence can break through the level limit by twenty points. Compared with Gongsun Yang's eight points of physical growth and ten points of extreme attributes, she is far ahead.

This miraculous craftsmanship can not only greatly improve the construction speed and quality of creation, but also reduce the construction cost and consumption. I don’t know how much money and resources can be saved. For this reason alone, the monthly salary of one hundred spirit stones is worth it.

Domineering Mechanical Technique is an alternative attack skill that can control various attack buildings and mechanical creations to kill enemies and greatly increase damage.

Take the Tianlei Tower as an example. Under her control, its power is doubled, which is equivalent to the effect of Mulan's Solid as Iron, and is enough to kill a first-class hero like Wen Chou.

I don't know if the two can be combined. If they can be combined, then the Sky Thunder Tower with four times the power will bombard it, and even a legendary warrior like Gongsun Yang will have to avoid it.

As for the last head of the Gongshu family, her strategic value was greatly enhanced.

Public transport agency city.

Building level: Level 2 (Legend)

Architectural Civilization: The Hundred Schools of Thought (Gongshu)

建筑兵种：公输弟子10/10，公输云梯5/5，公输冲车5/5，公输霹雳车2/2，公输机关兽1/1。

Building Effect: Gongshu Machinery City (Construction efficiency of the whole territory +100%, creation quality +50%, construction cost -25%, defense building and siege equipment power +50%, own defense building and siege equipment power +100%, building, equipment, machinery repair speed +100%)
Building introduction: Gongshu's masterpiece, a city composed of countless mechanisms, can mobilize the earth, wind, fire and water, use wind energy, fire energy, water energy, and the legendary spiritual energy of heaven and earth as power, and can efficiently manufacture various types of equipment and building mechanisms.

Construction requirements: 300000 units of stone, 500000 units of wood, 100000 units of iron ingots, 50000 units of copper ingots, and 10000 units of spirit stones.

……

As a legendary building, the information about Gongshu Machinery City is much more complicated than that of the Fountain of Youth, but it ultimately has three functions. The first is to enhance the construction capacity of the territory, the second is to train Gongshu's children in the engineering corps, and the third is to build various special siege equipment.

Needless to say, construction capabilities directly affect the defense of the territory. For example, the strength of city defense facilities such as city walls and arrow towers will determine the outcome of a war and even the survival of the entire territory.

However, the construction of this type of building requires a lot of resources, which most lords cannot afford.

It seems that this Huangtian City, with its two thousand meters wide, dozens of meters high, and more than ten meters wide city walls and hundreds of towers on the walls, has consumed countless resources. Most of the resources that Xu Yang used to sell equipment, prisoners, and open territory treasure chests were invested in this.

We have to invest. Without such investment, how can we withstand the siege of an army of 200,000 and so many epic generals? In the end, I'm afraid it will be like the previous siege, with heavy casualties and only one in ten will survive.

But now that he has Gongshu Ling and the Mechanical City, he can not only improve the strength of the city's defense, but also reduce construction costs, making his own territory impenetrable and turning it into a hard bone that no one can chew.

In this way, Xu Yang would have no worries and could go out to fight boldly. He no longer had to worry about whether Mulan, who stayed behind, could withstand the attacks of other lords when he went out to attack the territory, as before.

This is the enhancement of construction capabilities. As for the recruitment and construction of engineering troops and siege equipment, it is related to external wars.

Attacking a city is a very difficult task. He can strengthen the city's defense, and other lords can also strengthen the city's defense.

Therefore, the problem that those people are facing today, he will also face in the future. If a certain territory has built several layers of walls, and the walls are covered with various arrow towers, cannon turrets, fire towers and thunder towers, how will he attack?

Go alone and attack by force?
It is still a waste of blood and flesh if you are kind.

Both are possible, but neither is wise. Going it alone may result in failure, and the loss of blood and flesh is not worth it.

The most correct and wisest choice is to build siege equipment for long-range attacks, which can effectively reduce your own losses.

Gongshu Ling can train Gongshu Mechanical Division, a type of personal guard, and the Mechanical City can train Gongshu Disciples, a special type of soldier. These are all engineers who can go out with the army to build various siege equipment, and their efficiency is far higher than that of ordinary engineering soldiers.

In addition to the special equipment produced by the Machinery City, such as the Gongshu Cloud Ladder, Gongshu Battering Ram, Gongshu Thunderbolt Chariot, etc., Xu Yang will be able to attack cities and capture strongholds with not only no failure, but also divine help.

In addition, Gongshu Ling also brought a civilized technology.

Gongshu Mechanical Technique: You can use Gongshu Mechanical Technique to transform basic defenses such as arrow towers and city walls into Gongshu Mechanical Facilities. Currently, four types of facilities can be transformed: Gongshu Iron City Wall (ground), Gongshu Crossbow Arrow Tower (wind), Gongshu Cannon Tower (fire), and Gongshu Water Poison Tower (water).

Gongshu Ling, Gongshu Mechanical City, Gongshu Mechanical Technology!

Combining these three factors, Xu Yang's territory is like an iron wall covered with spikes. Anyone who comes will be beaten to a bloody pulp. Without paying an extremely painful price, there is no way to break through the defense of his territory.

This is the strategic value of Gongshu Ling, which is top-notch even among legendary heroes, and has a clear gap with the previous Gongsun Yang.

But these are not what Xu Yang cares about most.

But...

Xu Yang leaned over, looked at Gongshu Ling, who was not even as tall as his waist, and asked with a chuckle, "Can you show me?"

"have a look?"

"What are you looking at!"

Gongshu Ling, who had just received the spirit stone and was smiling, became alert instantly upon hearing this and directly protected her mechanical arm because she noticed that Xu Yang's eyes were on it.

Xu Yang didn't care, and chuckled and said, "I'll just take a look. I also have some insights into mechanical engineering, and I want to discuss it with you."

Gongshu Ling was also somewhat surprised when he heard this: "You also know about mechanical engineering?"

Xu Yang smiled: "I understand a little bit!"

This is of course a humble statement, it's far from being just a simple knowledge on his part.

In order to deduce the laws of nature, he studied various arts and not only the four major arts of elixir, talismans, weapons and formations, but also puppet mechanisms. He has reached the pinnacle and reached an extraordinary state. The laws of this world do not allow it, otherwise he would have become a master of mechanisms and puppets in a minute.

Hearing him say this, Gongshu Ling also let down his guard and reluctantly handed the giant mechanical arm to him: "Just take a look at it, be careful not to break it!" After saying that, he pulled his little hand out of the giant mechanical arm.

Xu Yang took the arm and saw the attribute information.

Tyrannical Mechanical Hand (Exclusive)

Equipment level: Tier 2 (Legend)

Equipment attributes: 80 blunt, 60 piercing, 70 fire, 80 explosion, 50 poison, physical strength +10, intelligence +10, construction +10, forging +10, logistics +10, 20 physical strength requirement, mechanical weapon master.

Equipment special effects: Overbearing machinery (This is a powerful creation of the Gongshu clan, a manifestation of the culmination of the Overbearing Machinery Technique, which can transform into four forms: earth, wind, fire, and water. The earth is the mechanical arm, which has amazing power and can move mountains and rocks. The wind is the crossbow arrow tube, which has amazing shooting speed and can fire thousands of arrows at once. The fire is the fire dragon cannon, which can bombard cannonballs. The water is the cloud and water fan, which can fan out poisonous winds, poisonous clouds, and even pour out poisonous rain)

Equipment Special Skill: Gongshu Machine Dragon (Opens the fifth form hidden in the Tyrant Machine Hand, transforming into a mechanical beast Gongshu Machine Dragon. Gongshu Machine Dragon can use four types of weapons at the same time: earth, wind, fire, and water. It consumes 300 spirit stones to use, and the cooldown time is 72 hours)

Equipment introduction: Tyrannical Machine Hand, the symbol of the head of the Gongshu family (exclusive equipment for Gongshu Ling, the attribute bonus is halved when used by others, and the Tyrannical Machine Hand and Gongshu Machine Dragon lose their effects and cannot be used)
……

After looking at the attribute description of the Tyrannical Mechanical Hand and then the actual mechanical structure, even Xu Yang exclaimed: "It's really ingenious!"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Ling hurriedly snatched the mechanical hand back and said arrogantly, "This is our Gongshu family's creation second only to the Mechanical City, the symbol of the family master, the fruit of his hard work, how can it not be a coincidence, how can it not be wonderful?"

"what!"

Xu Yang smiled, without commenting, and changed the subject: "How did you get to this Tower of Babel?"

"It's all because of that tyrant!"

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Ling's face suddenly showed a fierce look, and his domineering mechanical hands made a clattering sound: "That tyrant was treacherous. My Gongshu family built a mausoleum for him, but he killed people to silence them. He sent many Qi Refiners and the army to attack my Gongshu Mechanical City, forcing the head of the family to perish together with his family. Only I and a few brothers and sisters escaped, but we were still hunted down by those Qi Refiners. In the end, when our lives were hanging by a thread, we were taken to the Tower of Babel..."

"Qi Refiner?"

Xu Yang murmured, thoughtfully.

Judging from Gongshu Ling's performance and the introduction of Gongshu Machinery City, their strength is definitely stronger than his current one.

Even so, they were still defeated by the Qin army. It can be seen that the "Qi Refiner" is by no means an ordinary person, and he may have the capabilities of a high-level cultivator.

This also indirectly illustrates one thing, that although the city defense built by Gongshu Mechanical Engineering is strong, it is not invincible. As long as the strength is sufficient, even a mechanical city can be forcibly breached.

Therefore, while the city’s defenses must be strengthened, the improvement of strength must not be neglected.

Xu Yang's current strength has reached the point where there is no further improvement. If he wants to improve further, he can only seek to break through the limit, or obtain the reward of the Rookie King and Double Crown, and then complete the task and be promoted to the second-level lord.

The former is something you can only encounter by chance and is not within the scope of consideration.

As for the latter...

Xu Yang took a look at the Rookie List and the Reputation List and found that his ranking had jumped to first place on the Rookie List and 100th place on the Reputation List.

The former is completely understandable. In this battle, he defeated the enemy and killed legendary generals like Gongsun Yang and many epic heroes. In addition to the subsequent spoils of war, the acquisition of two second-tier artifacts and the arrival of the legendary hero Gongshu Ling, it is natural for him to become the number one on the rookie list.

The reputation list is similar. Although there are still hundreds of people ahead, they are only leading temporarily due to years of accumulation and foundation. It is easy for him to surpass them with his ability. If nothing unexpected happens, the double crown reward can be obtained steadily.

Therefore, the next step is to seek advancement.

Even though there have been wars raging during this period, they are actually just children playing house and are not worthy of being on the stage. Not to mention the first and second levels, even the eighth and ninth levels would probably find it difficult to determine the direction of this world.

Only by becoming at least a tenth-rank "Earth Immortal" lord, or reaching the eleventh-rank Heavenly Immortal realm, can one uncover the truth about the Tower of Babel and the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss.

Xu Yang’s strength has reached its limit and he must advance immediately after receiving the double crown reward.

In fact, he can do advanced tasks now.

Because the advancement in this world is different from the conventional advancement. In the conventional advancement, once you break through, you break through, and that is your personal matter, but the advancement of the lord in this world is a joint breakthrough between you and the territory, and it has nothing to do with foundation-building pills or something like that. You only need to complete the tasks to advance.

After building Taiping Temple, Xu Yang received an advanced task.

But this advanced task...

Mission introduction: Please die!

……

Meat has five kinds of flowers and three kinds of layers, people are divided into different classes, and differences are inevitable in all things.

The same applies to advanced tasks, which are also divided into different levels. The higher the difficulty, the better the reward, which determines the lord's growth and future.

Why is it that Xu Yang, who has defeated so many opponents and obtained so many weapons, equipment and heroes, is only ranked 100th on the reputation rankings? Are there really so many geniuses in the world who can be compared with him, a "cheating player"?
Of course not, it’s just that these people chose to “suppress the level” and deliberately not advance in order to strengthen their accumulation of foundation and want to complete the most difficult and best rewarding advancement tasks. Among them are many direct descendants of major forces.

So they can suppress Xu Yang temporarily.

But it is only temporary. Xu Yang also wants to advance perfectly, but he is not going to waste time on leveling up.

How to do?
It's simple, just hit!
War, killing, and plunder are the fastest channels of entry into this world.

and so……
