Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Wow, you can level up by eating salted fish?

Xu Yang was a little surprised about this, but not too surprised.

Fighting and killing are the main ways to upgrade the Tower of Babel, but they are only the main ones, not all of them. Apart from fighting, some buildings, items, and skills can give experience to soldiers.

For example, the barracks have a training effect, which can consume time and resources to improve the level of certain soldiers.

Some powerful lords don't even need to fight. They can pull out a powerful army with the numerous training buildings in the territory.

But this does not affect the excellence of the Yellow Turbans. Eating salted fish can level up, which means that as long as there are enough food resources, an elite army can be pulled out, which is of great use whether it is a violent army or an emergency.

Coupled with the civilization characteristics and civilization skills of the Yellow Turbans, the combination of the three directly makes this very poor and weak Yellow Turban army have great potential.

Xu Yang didn't say much, and directly chose to upgrade. A yellow light flashed, and the yellow-faced, thin, and ragged Yellow Turbans (ordinary) were upgraded to Yellow Turbans (senior), and their physical attributes were directly increased by two points, reaching the same level as ordinary farmers.

Although they are still very weak, they are enough to be farmers.

Without thinking, Xu Yang directly pulled all 29 Yellow Turbans in the Yellow Turban camp into the recruitment sequence.

Pull up, must pull up!

In the early development of the Yellow Turban civilization, almost no funds are needed, and food is the most important resource.

But where does the food come from?

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea!

The recruitment of the Yellow Turban camp and the fish market dock must be fully pulled, and a large army of farmers must be pulled out to build and produce, so that more resources can be obtained, and more Yellow Turban soldiers can be recruited, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.

A group of farmers, each doing their own job.

As a lord, Xu Yang was not idle either. He walked into the Yellow Turban camp and took a hoe, ready to cultivate farmland.

Farmland is a basic production building. It can be built without civilization, let alone with civilization. Except for some grassland nomadic civilizations and special civilizations, almost all other civilizations can build farmland, but the effect is different.

The same is true for the Yellow Turban civilization. The characteristics of civilization do not affect production buildings, so only ordinary farmland can be built.

Not only farmland, dock farmland, but also basic production buildings such as logging, mining, and blacksmith shops are the same as the Tower of Babel. There is no special effect, but they must be built.

Now the initial monsters in the territory have been swept away by Xu Yang. He has no war missions for the next 28 days and can devote himself to farming.

I forgot to say that the lord is also a kind of "farmer" and can build all basic units, but the efficiency is too low.

Unless there are relevant talents and skills, most lords would rather waste time in the barracks and gain training experience than pick up a hoe and be a small farmer who is better than nothing. That is too cost-effective.

But others are others, Xu Yang is Xu Yang, with the golden finger of skill characteristics, he is happy to be a farmer.

The Yellow Turban civilization is good in everything, but the food resource consumption is too large. It is very difficult to fully recruit and produce with only the resources of the island and the supply of the fish market.

At this time, Xu Yang's skill characteristics need to be exerted. As long as the relevant skill characteristics are generated, such as "a bumper harvest", the food pressure can be greatly relieved.

...

In this way, time flies, and twenty-eight days pass in the blink of an eye.

In the territory, in the farmland, Xu Yang is acting as a "farmer" to operate the production building.

Not only him, the surrounding area of ​​the Yellow Turban camp, except for the "civilian housing area" in the north, the other three sides have been reclaimed into farmland, and the farmers who have been transformed from Yellow Turbans are working hard in it, and they are also in full swing.

Yellow Turban Farmer (Elite)

Morale: 150

Army level: Level 1 (Ordinary)

Army attributes: 6 physical strength, 1 intelligence, 1 charm.

Special skill of the army: Yellow Turban

Introduction to the army: Long live the Great Sage!

…

In one month, the production was fully utilized. Xu Yang recruited many Yellow Turbans and consumed a lot of food to upgrade them to the elite level.

Compared with ordinary Yellow Turbans, the attributes of elite-level Yellow Turbans did not change much, that is, morale increased from 50 points to 150 points, and physical strength increased from 1 point to 6 points.

Although the attribute changes were not significant, the actual effect was very different. Needless to say, the physical strength increased from 1 point to 6 points, which was greater than the difference between a child and an adult. It directly turned the yellow turbans with pale faces, thin muscles, and weak hands and feet into good fighters in the fields.

This is physical strength, and morale. Although the intelligence of low-level soldiers is not high, they are not completely zombies, soulless puppets, and they have a little self-awareness.

This is a good thing and a bad thing, because it will affect the morale attribute.

The so-called morale is easy to understand. It is the mood of the soldiers. The higher the morale, the stronger the motivation. Both the work efficiency and combat capability will be greatly improved. The weaker the morale, the lower the motivation. Not only will the work efficiency and combat capability be reduced, but to a certain extent, there will be chaos, rout, and rebellion.

There are cases in the academy. Some lords treated soldiers harshly and did not have items and equipment skills to improve morale, which led to low morale and rebellion of soldiers. In the end, the territory was not broken by the demons, but was destroyed by their own soldiers, which became a bloody case lesson.

So morale is very important. There is no need to say much about production. You can tell which is more efficient, a lazy cow or a chicken blood cow. The focus is still on fighting. High morale means high combat power.

Some legion skills and battle formation skills also have extremely high requirements for morale. If the morale is insufficient, the battle formation cannot be formed at all.

The elite-level Yellow Turbans have a basic morale of 150 points, which is three times that of ordinary Yellow Turbans and twice that of ordinary peasants. It can be said that the whole audience is in a "chicken blood" state, and the work enthusiasm and work efficiency should not be too high.

In addition, the tiger skin clothes equipped by Xu Yang have the special skill of "Tiger Roar", which can temporarily increase the morale by ten points. When the cooling time is up, the peasants will be gathered together to roar, and the work efficiency will increase even more, at least five or six times that of ordinary peasants.

In this way, after a month of hard work, the results can be imagined.

Lord: Xu Yang

Territory civilization: Yellow Turban

Territory buildings: Yellow Turban camp x1, Yellow Turban training ground x1, dock x1, fish market x1, lumberyard x1, mine x1, blacksmith shop x3, well x10, arrow tower x20, farmland x25, fish farm x45, civilian house x60.

Territory troops: 580 Yellow Turbans (elite), 65 fishing boats.

Territory resources: 12800 food (8500 salted fish, 4300 wheat), 850 wood, 120 stone, 110 iron ingots

…

One month of hard work, remarkable results.

In terms of construction, a Yellow Turban training ground, docks, wells, farmland, civilian houses, lumberyards, mines, blacksmith shops were added, and twenty defensive buildings and arrow towers were built to protect the territory.

In terms of resources, with a large number of elite Yellow Turbans, Xu Yang built a large number of farmlands and fish farms as production units, and recruited 65 fishing boats through docks and fish markets. He obtained a large number of fish as food by fishing near the coast, accumulating as many as 12,800 units.

These 12,800 units of food are important capital for him to maintain his territory and "explode soldiers" later.

As for why it is not exploding now, it is because it can no longer accommodate.

The initial territory is limited in size. The area of ​​the entire island is only two or three square kilometers. Excluding unusable terrain such as hills and cliffs, the actual usable area is only one or two square kilometers. It also has to accommodate buildings such as camps and parade grounds. How much space can be left to build civilian houses and allocate soldiers.

What, no housing, sleeping on the ground?

Yes, if you can accept the occurrence of negative events such as morale returning to zero in three days, rebellion, rout, and death from illness, then you can let your soldiers use the sky as a roof and the ground as a bed.

The territory is too small and the space is limited, which restricts Xu Yang's development. He originally planned to recruit all the staff in one month, but in the end he only recruited 580 Yellow Turbans.

This problem cannot be solved within a month. We can only wait until the safe time ends and then go on a war to expand our territory.

This is food, as well as wood, stone, and iron ingots.

Needless to say, wood is needed for all kinds of buildings. Xu Yang has cut down all the trees on the island, and even the forest on the east has been turned into farmland. This still cannot meet the gap, so he has to buy a batch of wood from the Tower of Babel.

As for stone and iron ingots, this is the money Xu Yang needs to buy wood. He has killed all the monsters on the island, and it is difficult to sell several top-quality equipment. There is no other choice except to exchange resources for resources.

So compared with food and wood, the number of stone and iron ingots is very small, only a little over a hundred.

But it doesn't matter. Xu Yang can't use it at the moment. He doesn't train soldiers, build walls, or create wonders. What do he need stone and iron ingots for? He will keep some for emergencies, and sell all the others in exchange for food and wood.

All of the above are the results of Xu Yang's hard work for a month. Although he did not train a strong combat force, he has maximized resource production. After waiting for the safety time to end, he can develop and expand.

...

Seeing that the time is almost up, Xu Yang put down his hoe and let a farmer take over the work. He put on his equipment and restored his incongruous "non-mainstream" appearance.

Name: Xu Yang

Race: Human

Level: 10 (First-level Lord)

Physical strength: 15+13

Intelligence: 6

Charm: 5+1

Reputation: 520

Basic skills: First-level physical strength LV1, first-level strong attack LV5+5, first-level strong bow LV6, first-level weapon mastery LV1, first-level riding LV1, first-level logistics LV1, first-level commander LV1+1.

Weapon skills: one-handed weapons (proficient), bow weapons (proficient), long-pole weapons (proficient)

Special skills: cloth clothes, yellow scarf.

Equipment: tiger skin clothes, iron bow, ancient ingot knife, reed leaf spear, worn headscarf, worn shorts, worn gloves, worn cloth shoes.

...

In terms of attributes, needless to say, there is not much change from a month ago, that is, weapon skills, which have been upgraded to the mastery level through the training of the Yellow Turban Training Ground, with higher damage and stronger power.

As for special skills, there are still only two, the Cloth Clothes and Yellow Turbans, and no other skill characteristics have been generated.

This is a matter of course. Whether it is the predecessor Black Water World or the current Lord World, it is a world where gods and demons coexist. Now there is even a great power suspected to be a golden immortal to seal the sky and lock the earth.

In this way, the difficulty of generating skill characteristics can be imagined. How can it be possible to gain anything in just one month?

The "cloth" characteristics generated before are probably the result of his reincarnation for more than ten years. After all, if the bottom lord wants to turn over, solo is the only way, so he has been practicing martial arts before the memory awakening, and it is natural to generate this cloth skill.

If you want other characteristics next, you can only work hard and rely on time to grind.

But that's not the point, the point is...

"Safety time is over!"

"The blockade of the territory has been lifted!"

"You have officially become a lord of the Tower of Babel!"

"The reputation ranking list is open!"

"Your reputation is 520 points, and you are ranked 9,527th in the rookie lord reputation ranking list."

"Because of your ranking, you get 20 points of reputation and 2,000 experience points as a reward!"

"The ranking rewards are settled monthly. I hope you will continue to work hard and set new records!"

"..."

The cold reminder sound of the Tower of Babel came, not only announcing the unblocking of the territory, but also opening the reputation ranking list.

Xu Yang had expected this!

Although the reputation attribute was not very prominent before, its importance is not low at all.

It is an alternative resource. When the reputation reaches a certain level, you can obtain various permissions in the Tower of Babel, including purchase discounts, trading discounts, item exchange, command issuance, etc.

In addition, reputation is also a must for training "special arms". Some powerful arms not only require a civilization system, but also consume the lord's reputation before they can be trained and recruited.

Reputation is so important, so how to get it?

The simplest way is to fight, and you can gain reputation by defeating your opponent.

In addition, the lord's level, the buildings of the territory, the weapons and equipment he owns, and the heroes of his subordinates can all provide a certain amount of reputation.

"Isn't this... luck?"

"The people's support, luck!"

"With luck, it becomes destiny, so you get authority in the Tower of Babel."

"And the training of special troops is also a kind of use of the power of luck?"

Looking at his reputation value and thinking about the role of reputation, Xu Yang had another layer of suspicion in his heart.

But as I said, if you don't have the ability, don't think too much, it's meaningless.

So Xu Yang quickly turned his eyes back and focused on the "reputation ranking list" that was opened.

Ranking list!

He was very familiar with this method, because he had done this before, such as the Shenwu list in the Shenwu world, and the Qingyun list in the real world.

The list is actually created for only one purpose, that is, to stimulate competition. After all, there is progress only when there is competition.

The same is true for the Tower of Babel. Because of the particularity of reputation, the so-called reputation list is a combination of the God Weapon List, the Hero List, and the Arms List. The higher the reputation, the higher the ranking, and the more powerful the weapons and equipment, heroes and arms you have.

In addition, if you are on the list, you can also get rewards from the Tower of Babel. Once a month, the worst will get experience and reputation, and the best can get attribute points and skill points. The top 100 can get rare weapons and equipment, heroes of arms, and even civilized items.

Therefore, the major lords are very keen on "beating the list". In order to compete for the ranking, they constantly launch wars, weaken their opponents, and strengthen themselves in order to be on the list and get the Tongtian rewards.

Each level has its own reputation list, and Xu Yang, as a new lord, is included in the rookie list that lasts for a year.

After all, the Tower of Babel is a pattern of gods and demons fighting for hegemony, with thousands of races standing side by side. The population is more than hundreds of millions, even the first-level lords are astronomical numbers.

Although Xu Yang has gained a lot of reputation by soloing, you must understand one thing, sometimes the end of your struggle is just the starting point of others.

Compared with those "second-generation leaders" with big families, strong strength and deep background, he can rank 9,527th on the rookie list by himself, which is already very good.

Among the 10,000 rookie rankings, 99% are second-generation leaders, and only 1% are lonely people who rely on talent and opportunity to counterattack.

But no matter what, this list must be fought. If you can reach the top of the list within a year and become the "newcomer king" of this session, you will receive a major reward from the Tower of Babel. It is said that even high-level lords will be jealous.

So...

"Warning!"

"The Lord of the Demon Abyss Jin Luo has launched an attack on your territory!"

"The enemy's attacking force will arrive in 30 minutes, please be prepared for battle!"

"Ha!"

Listening to the prompt of the Tower of Babel, Xu Yang was not surprised, but smiled happily.

Fighting against the sky, the fun is endless!

Fighting the earth is fun!

Fighting people is even more fun!

Those lost souls, zombie-like initial monsters are just appetizers. If you want to truly experience the splendor of this world, powerful arms, legendary heroes, and flourishing civilizations, you have to fight with the lords.

Xu Yang has been looking forward to this for a long time!

PS: This world has mixed reviews. Some book friends think that the jump is too big, the game feeling is too serious, and it is out of the essence of Xianxia. I admit this, but the beginning is like this, just like the live broadcast of the Blue Star World, it will gradually return to the essence of Xianxia in the later stage, not really playing games, and I personally like this world very much, and I don’t want to end it in a hurry, so I hope that friends who like it will support it.
