Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 107 Upgrade (Happy New Year and auspicious Year of the Dragon!)
  Lin Daiyu saw Jia Qiang's feat of killing everyone through the second-floor window. She had been exposed to gentle and elegant men since she was a child, like her father and her teacher.

Even those guests who come to visit your home will show a scholar-like temperament. This is the best way to get in touch with civil servants.

But human beings are born with a desire to be strong, and worshiping the strong is an instinct imprinted in their bones.

When Lin Daiyu saw Jia Qiang, who was like a god, the impact in her heart was huge. The sense of security she felt after being rescued by Jia Qiang was infinitely amplified at this time.

A girl of this age can't talk about love yet. There is a special feeling in her heart that she wants to be close to Jia Qiang.

This is why Jia Qiang was the first person she saw when she returned to the second floor.

"I live alone, so I always have to use some force to prevent being bullied by others!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but nodded when she thought of what he had experienced in the capital.

"Yu'er, let Brother Qiang come in!" Jia Min's voice came from the room.

Lin Daiyu wanted to reach out and pull Jia Qiang away, but found that she couldn't do it. Jia Qiang's whole body was covered in armor, and there were even blood stains on her armored gloves.

She hesitated for a moment, but because she liked being clean, she reached out and took Jia Qiang's hand. Feeling the coldness and bloody smell on the armored gloves, she felt no discomfort.

"Brother Qiang, come here quickly and I'll remove your armor!" Jia Min greeted her daughter with a smile on her face when she saw her pulling Jia Qiang in.

"Excuse me, Master!" Jia Qiang couldn't show off her ability to change clothes instantly in the game inventory in front of a few people. She still needed help from others to remove the armor.

"Madam, you don't have to do anything, we should remove the armor!" At this time, Yun Fei and Zhu Jun moved to take their tassels.

The eyes of these two people looking at Jia Qiang now have a fire that wants to melt Jia Qiang.

The two of them had similar circumstances. They were both famous prostitutes who were given to Jia Qiang. They originally thought that they were extremely lucky to be committed to a promising scholar, but they did not expect that this scholar also had powers that they could not imagine.

"You guys want to learn how to remove your armor, Yu'er, come here and I'll teach you!" Jia Min nodded with a smile and waved to her daughter.

Lin Daiyu is small and weak, so she can't help Jia Qiang remove her armor now, but she must learn. Jia Qiang is a first-class viscount, and with Jia Qiang's strength, there will be many opportunities to wear armor in the future, so she will have to wear armor when she goes home. My family helped me remove my armor.

Yinglian stood aside. Although she was a little dull on the surface, she still had good eyesight. She saw the relationship between Lin Daiyu, Yunfei, Zhujun and Jia Qiang, and she was embarrassed to go to help.

"Yinglian, ask grandma to prepare bath water. Brother Qiang needs to take a bath after taking off her armor!" Jia Min saw Yinglian who was a little overwhelmed, and smiled and ordered her to do things.

Yinglian immediately ran out of the room and went to find her grandmother.

After Jia Qiang took off her armor, she went into the room to wash up and change into a new Confucian shirt.

After he had cleaned himself up and came out, the officers and soldiers from Gusu still had not arrived.

Jia Min didn't let the women disturb him and asked him to eat something first and then take a rest.

In Jia Min's opinion, he must have consumed a lot of energy just now by fighting from the water to the shore.

Jia Min was born in the Jia family. When Jia Min was young, her father Jia Daishan was a strong general in the army. She knew how to serve those who went on an expedition since she was a child.

Jia Qiang did not reject Jia Min's kindness, even though he did not need to rest.

He returned to the room and first took out his pocket bag.

The fanny pack was carried by Leader Kurai. Considering that Leader Kurai had the idea of ​​​​escape at that time, the only fanny bag he carried was the most important item for Leader Kurai.

The fanny pack is made of shark skin and surrounds the waist. The back part of the waist is the main place for storing items, so even though the fanny pack may not look big, it can actually store a lot of things.

When she opened her pocket, she saw a few gold ingots. They were eye-catching, but they were of little value to Jia Qiang.

Then there was a stack of silver notes, some foreign gold and silver coins, a few gems, etc., among which the 'Row Falcon Stone' he needed most was not included.

"Just these things?" Jia Qiang was already a little disappointed when she saw this.

Finally, he picked up a stack of documents that looked inconspicuous, and he discovered that it turned out to be Daqian's official contract.

Most of them were land deeds, and they were contracts for fertile land in Jiangnan. He made a rough calculation and found that it was about eleven thousand acres.

The rest of the contracts are for some industries and can be found in various cities in Jiangnan.

Jia Qiang was a little confused. Did the leader of Cangjing reinvest all the stolen wealth into Daqian?

In fact, his guess was correct. This was not just the idea of ​​the leader of Kurai, but also the request of the Western forces behind it. Investing in Daqian's industries was to launder the stolen wealth, and to use these industries Come and collect information about Da Gan.

Think about it, among these industries spread all over Jiangnan, as long as each industry sends one spy, it is almost possible to establish an intelligence network in Daqian Jiangnan.

If we continue to develop this intelligence network, it is not unimaginable to build an intelligence network covering all aspects of the cadre.

Of course, this plan was only in the early stages of implementation. Leader Cangjing used some connections to exchange his wealth for high-quality industries in Daqian Jiangnan.

Jia Qiang smiled, this was an unexpected income.

He had no intention of handing over the official contract in his hand. Even if someone knew who the original owner of these properties was, it would have nothing to do with him.

With his current status in Daqian and the official contract in hand, who can compete with him for property ownership?

He finally understood that the items that Chief Kurai wanted to carry with him were probably these official Dakan contracts.

Jia Qiang was unable to assess the value of these Daqian official contracts, but he knew that with these official contracts in hand, he could distribute his Qingfeng Tower to various cities in the south of the Yangtze River as quickly as possible.

It seems that I will have to find the manager when I return. The reorganization of these industries requires professionals to operate.

Moreover, this matter must be done quickly. After the murder of the Japanese pirates, the leader of Cangjing, is known to Gusu, those powerful forces who have contact with the Japanese pirates will also know.

Maybe these powerful forces will take action on these industries. If Jia Qiang is slow to act, even if he regains the industry later, there will be a lot of trouble.

Does he still have to litigate lawsuits in one city after another? Those who have the means to attack industries without official contracts will have considerable power in the local area. With a plan in mind, he put away all the Daqian official contracts, even the things he didn't like, and put them in a box beside him.

Jia Qiang thought that killing so many Japanese pirates would not give her enough experience to level up.

As his mind moved slightly, the ghost of the game character status panel appeared in front of his eyes.

When he saw the extra '↑' title in 'Name: Jia Qiang [Level 18 ↑]', he couldn't help but smile on his face, he finally reached another level.

This level is particularly critical, because after reaching level 19, the Taoist priest can summon helpers to participate in the battle.

The Taoist priest in the game is not the main combat force. The Taoist priest's main combat power is the summoned helper. The Taoist priest himself plays a supporting role, assisting the summoned helper in fighting.

His mind focused on the title '↑', which was raised from level 18 to level 19, and the title '↑' that followed also disappeared.

This is not surprising. Nowadays, a lot of experience is required to upgrade to a level. The last time the Salt Gang was wiped out, more than 3,200 people were killed, and it was just a level increase.

Perhaps the experience from the last time was still redundant, and the more than 2,000 Japanese pirates he killed this time allowed his game character to be upgraded again.

Just when he was about to consider which attribute to add the five extra attribute points to, he was surprised to find that his strength, physique, and spirit had changed from the previous check.

His strength became 101, his constitution increased by 0.1 to 35.2, his spirit increased by 2 points, the corresponding life increased to 352, and his mana increased to 32.

"This is the accumulated effect of practicing the 'Tai Xu Jing'!" After thinking about it for a moment, he knew the reason.

'Taixu Jing' is the immortal's cultivation method. Through his cultivation using mana as energy, the effects produced are now reflected on the game character status panel.

The thing that improved the most was spirit, which increased by a full 2 ​​points.

In addition, he felt that his mana was more active, which accelerated his mana recovery.

He tested it and found that his mana recovery speed increased by a little from 10 breaths to 8 breaths.

The game skills he has mastered so far basically don't consume much mana, and there are no skills that exceed 2 mana points.

Jia Qiang is full of hope for the 'Taixu Jing'. He has been practicing the 'Taixu Jing' for a long time and has achieved obvious results.

He once again added five attribute points to his agility, raising his agility to 71 points.

After so many battles and the dangers he encountered, he found that the increase in agility greatly increased his ability to protect himself in this world.

Although the strength of two thousand kilograms is strong, it can only be fully exerted with extremely high agility.

He will continue to practice the 'Tai Xu Jing', and his strength, physique, and spirit will be able to increase. However, only agility can only be improved through upgraded attribute points.

Jia Qiang focused on his skills. The skill Mental Warfare was upgraded from 'Intermediate' to 'Advanced'. The effect of 'Mental Warfare [Advanced]' was even more powerful. As long as he locked the target and attacked in the same direction. Next, 'Psychic Warfare [Advanced]' will automatically correct the attack to hit the target.

Of course, when the mental warfare method was still 'intermediate', the effect of this skill was enough for him to use. No matter how bad his archery skills were, he could not escape the five-meter range of the target.

He thought about it again and found that the 'Spiritual War Technique [Advanced]' was still very useful.

Jia Qiang thought of the three 'Flang Machine Cannons' and the newly acquired Western-style gunboat.

In the past, he wanted to use the 'Front Machine Artillery' or the artillery on the Western-style gunship to attack the target, but he could not guarantee that the artillery could accurately hit the target at a long distance.

Using artillery requires learning and a lot of practice, especially this kind of old-fashioned artillery. Even experienced gunners cannot guarantee the hit rate of the artillery.

But with the 'Spiritual Warfare [Advanced]', it was different. He only needed to find the right direction, and he could use the correction of the 'Spiritual Warfare [Advanced]' to hit the target with the shell.

Thinking about the application of the skill 'Spiritual Warfare [Advanced]', he looked down and found a vague skill name below the skill bar.

When his mind was focused on the vague skill names, two skill names appeared in his mind at the same time, and he needed to choose one skill from them.

The first Taoist skill is called 'Skeleton Summoning', a spell that creates skeletons through the use of amulets and resurrection power. The skeletons you create will become your most loyal followers.

The second Taoist skill is called 'Corpse Exorcism'. Death is just the beginning. Under the call of the mysterious spell, any corpse, even a place of great power during life, cannot escape the bad luck of being driven.

You can only choose one of the two skills to learn. Once you choose one, the other cannot be learned.

To be honest, if you are playing games, the 'Skeleton Summoning Technique' is the best. Skeletons can be summoned to participate in the battle at any time and anywhere as long as there are talismans.

But this is in the real world. If he dares to summon a skeleton, he will immediately be defined as an evil existence.

It is impossible for Da Gan to tolerate him, fearing that after seeing the resurrected skeleton, the immortals will kill him regardless of whether they have any grudges or not.

Therefore, his best choice is the 'Destroy the Corpse Technique'. When playing the game, since the character needs to be offline, the corpse resurrected by the 'Dead Corpse Technique' will be forcibly abandoned.

The next time you log in to the game, you need to find a dead monster again and use the 'corpse removal technique' to resurrect it.

During the period between logging into the game and successfully performing the 'Zombie Exorcism Technique' to resurrect dead monsters, the Taoist priest lost his most powerful means of attack and put himself in danger.

If the Taoist priest does not choose a powerful monster to resurrect, then even if the resurrected monster is around, it will not have any protective effect.

This is the reason why few players in the game choose the 'Dead Corpse Technique', but Jia Qiang is in the real world, and he has considered the advantages of the 'Dead Corpse Technique' a long time ago.

There is also a powerful corpse stored in his inventory, that of the 'Vajra King'.

The most important thing is that the strength of the corpse summoned by the 'Corpse Exorcism Technique' changes according to the strength of the corpse before death. If he uses the 'Corpse Exorcism Technique' to resurrect the corpse of 'King Kong Ming King', then the summoned corpse will have ' King Kong Ming's attributes when he was alive should be added to 50% of Jia Qiang's own attributes.

This was much stronger than the skeletons summoned by the fixed-attribute 'Skeleton Summoning Technique', so he chose the 'Corpse Exorcism Technique' without much hesitation.

In the skill column of the game's character status panel, the vague text was transformed into 'Zombie Exorcism [Elementary]'.

When he chose 'The Art of Exorcising the Corpse [Elementary]', a stream of information came into his mind, allowing him to gain knowledge of the 'Exorcism of the Corpse [Elementary]'.
