……

Looking at the attributes of Lv Qiling after the advancement, Xu Yang had to sigh that his luck was really good. He actually upgraded the grades of Hua Mulan and Lv Qiling in succession, allowing them to go one step further and be reborn.

Although as a human-shaped foundation-building pill, Xu Yang has great confidence in helping the two break through, but this breakthrough is limited to the level, not the grade.

After all, until now, he still has only a vague understanding of the definition and principle of the hero's "rank".

But there is one thing he can be sure of, that is, the hero's rank is not only related to "personal potential", but may also involve some factors such as "fate and luck".

Let's not talk about anything else, just say Wu Zhi, if we only talk about personal potential, Wu Dalang, who has grown into a "three-inch Ding Gu bark", is probably worse than ordinary people. How can he be rated as a rare hero? He doesn't have any special talents such as spiritual roots.

But he is a rare hero, so Xu Yang can conclude that the hero's rank is not only related to potential, but also to his origin and civilization. The current speculation is that it is influenced by "fate and luck".

This also makes Xu Yang not very sure about the improvement of the hero's rank. After all, the effect of his human-shaped foundation-building pill can only help people advance to build a foundation, but cannot help people improve their luck.

Therefore, the improvement of Hua Mulan and Lu Qiling's hero rank this time is completely a surprise, a low-probability event.

Since it is a low-probability event, it cannot be copied in batches. If other heroes want to upgrade their ranks, they still have to rely on luck.

But no matter what, the rank upgrade is a good thing.

Like Hua Mulan, through this period of battles, Lv Qiling has also accumulated a lot of experience. After the advancement is completed, she has reached the level limit, and her main physical attribute has soared to 180 points.

After all, after the hero's rank is upgraded, the effects of various special skills are greatly enhanced. The attribute growth of the tiger's daughter is directly increased from four bodies and two charms to ten bodies and five charms, and it also comes with a 30-point breaking limit, directly reaching the level of the first-class legend.

Coupled with the enhancement of the ghost and god's martial arts and the unparalleled female general, as well as the newly added "god and ghost fighting intention" skill, Lv Qiling's combat power has surpassed Li Cunxiao and once again became the number one general under Xu Yang.

Of course, this is only temporary. As a legendary hero, even if Li Cunxiao cannot upgrade his hero rank, after the rank is upgraded, the effects of various special skills will be enhanced to a certain extent. At that time, not to mention surpassing Lv Qiling, it will not be a problem to catch up.

"Thank you very much, my lord, for helping Qiling break through!"

In the steaming spring water, the heroic girl was rarely shy, and she held one hand in front of her chest involuntarily, covering it but not covering it, but it became a foil, attracting attention and making people excited.

Xu Yang smiled, stretched out his hand, held her blushing face, and then changed to caressing and gently kneading her hair: "Well done!"

A word hit the heart directly, and the heroic girl trembled, and the joy in her eyes could not help but flow out. Although there was no word, the favorable information on the record kept jumping.

"Lv Qiling's favorability with you has increased to 1420 points!"

"Lv Qiling's favorability with you has increased to 1520 points!"

"Mulan's favorability with you has decreased to 1299 points!"

"..."

Looking at the fluctuating favorability, Xu Yang was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But no matter what, this advanced practice ended successfully.

With these two people as a precedent, can we follow suit and help other heroes advance in the same way?

Of course not!

How can Xu Yang have so much time?

This time, in order to help the two people advance, he turned into a human-shaped electric eel and generated electricity for love in this fountain of youth for more than three months. Many things and many jobs were put on hold because of this.

Even if he is energetic and can continue to generate electricity without sleep, being able to do it does not mean that he should do it. He cannot put all his time and energy on it.

Not to mention that the number of heroes under his command is increasing, and the team is getting bigger day by day. If he needs to help everyone advance, he may not have to do anything else in the future. He can't even be a human-shaped electric eel in this hot spring.

There is no such reason.

But the advancement of other heroes cannot be helped, otherwise they will be partial to one and neglect the other, which will inevitably lead to disunity.

So...

"It's time to try to refine the elixir!"

"As long as the foundation-building elixir and other realm-breaking elixirs are refined and become items recognized by the Tower of Babel, it will definitely meet the needs of the heroes under my command to advance."

"It is this investment..."

Xu Yang began to think about the next strategy.

In the Tower of Babel, elixirs are also circulated.

Not only elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, array tools, and even mechanical puppets, all kinds of immortal spiritual cultivation items are circulated in the Tower of Babel.

There are two sources of such items, one is the spoils of war, and the other is the output of territory.

Needless to say, the former is purely based on luck, while the latter requires relevant buildings, arms or skills.

For example, Xu Yang's Taiping Temple has the ability to produce talismans. As a magic troop, the Yellow Turban Warlock also has the ability to make low-level talismans after being upgraded to the newly opened sixth-level "Taoism". Wanbao Pavilion has already put related products on the shelves.

The same is true for talismans and elixirs. Buildings can produce them, soldiers can manufacture them, and lords and heroes can also refine such items by learning related skills.

But such skills are extremely expensive. After all, they are the golden goose that lays eggs. This world is unusual. There is no saying that skill items are gone after they are used. Don't think about selling them a second time.

Various restrictions have caused their value to soar, basically not less than legendary equipment or even mythical equipment of the same level.

Although Xu Yang has plug-ins such as skill characteristics, he can rely on his own knowledge and efforts to develop skills such as "alchemy", but he also needs to invest a lot of time and resources.

Time is easy to say, resources... The advancement of a group of heroes under his command is almost draining him dry, especially the little girl Gongshu Ling and her Gongshu Engineering Team, which can be called a gold-eating beast, almost emptying his family.

Now the income and expenditure of his territory is very unbalanced, relying entirely on the accumulation of previous wars and the output of strange items such as the Fountain of Youth to barely support it.

But it is not a solution to force it like this. If the income and expenditure are not balanced, the mountain will be empty. We must increase the income to change the situation.

As for saving money, if we can save money, will Xu Yang still have this trouble?

"A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grass!"

"Someone still has to deliver the goods to the door!"

After some thought, he decided on a strategy.

Now, time flies, and September has passed in a blink of an eye.

March plus September, a year of safety time, finally came to the last moment.

In Huangtian City, the three armies gathered and were ready for war, and were being inspected by Xu Yang.

Although a year is not a long time, Xu Yang's territory has undergone earth-shaking changes due to the previous wars and annexations, as well as the strong construction capabilities of Gongshu Ling and Gongshu Engineering Team.

You can see this from the attribute panel...

Lord: Xu Yang

Territory civilization: Yellow Turban

Civilization buildings: Taiping Temple X1, Yellow Turban Camp X1, Yellow Turban Training Ground X500, Yellow Turban Xianzhen Camp X100, Yellow Turban Charge Camp X100, Huangtian Thunder Tower X50, Huangtian Fire Tower X100, Taiping Palace (under construction)

Ordinary buildings: Fish Market Wharf X1000, Lumberyard X500, Mining Field X500, Blacksmith Shop X2000, Well X3000, Farmland X54000, Fish Farm X32000, Mill X1000, Houses X100000

Special buildings: 1 Battle Field, 1 Wushuang Command Platform, 1 Fountain of Youth, 1 Wuda Restaurant, 1 Jin Guo Blacksmith Shop, 3 Jurchen Horse Ranch, 800,000 Gongshu Iron Wall, 20 Gongshu Wanjun Gate, 800 Gongshu Mechanical Tower, 6 Gongshu Mechanical City.

Civilized Arms: 520,000 Yellow Turbans, 200,000 Yellow Turban Spearmen, 350,000 Yellow Turban Infantry, 100,000 Yellow Turban Infantry, 80,000 Yellow Turban Charge Cavalry, 50,000 Yellow Turban Strongmen, 30,000 Yellow Turban Warlocks, 10,000 Taiping Huangtian Strongmen, 5,000 Taiping Huangtian Warlocks.

Special arms: 1200 White Dragon Army, 3000 Mulan Archers, 3000 Mulan Archers, 3000 Mulan Guards, 5000 Gongshu Mechanical Division, 10000 Gongshu Disciples, 8000 Flying Tiger Cavalry, 3000 Imperial Tiger Cavalry, 3000 Tai Sui Death Soldiers, 5000 Yang Family Cavalry, 800 Wuda Cooks...

Territory resources: 12885000 food, 112500 wood, 51200 stone, 37100 iron ingots, 21150 copper ingots, 1100 metal ingots, 3000 spirit stones, 1850620 Tongtian coins.

...

As for buildings, needless to say, due to the particularity of the Yellow Turban civilization, only three second-level civilization buildings are unlocked after entering the second level, namely the Yellow Turban Xianzhen Camp, the Yellow Turban Charge Camp, and the Taiping Palace.

Xianzhen Camp is a second-level barracks, which can train first-level Yellow Turban Infantry into second-level Yellow Turban Xianzhen Infantry. The Charge Camp is a second-level cavalry camp, which can train first-level Yellow Turban Spearmen into second-level Yellow Turban Charge Cavalry. As for the Taiping Palace, it is a second-level civilization wonder, which is still under construction, and the effect will be discussed later.

Xianzhen Camp, Charge Camp, Taiping Palace, plus the Fountain of Youth, the General Platform, the Battle Field, and the Wuda Restaurant and Gongshu Machinery City that are upgraded with the hero, Xu Yang currently has these eight second-level buildings, and the others are all first-level buildings. Although they are not very useful, they are also the cornerstones of the towering buildings, supporting the entire territory.

In terms of military types, it is even richer, and the results of the "big explosion of soldiers" have been initially reflected.

The first is the Yellow Turban Legion, which has expanded to a terrifying 1.35 million people. Even if the Yellow Turbans who are farmers are ignored, the number of available combat troops is as high as 830,000. There are also ten second-level Yellow Turban infantry and Yellow Turban charge cavalry. As many as 80,000.

Coupled with the 50,000 Yellow Turban warriors, 30,000 Yellow Turban warlocks, and the 20,000 Taiping Huangtian guards who he personally trained, combined with the use of the "Yellow Turban" civilized stunt, the strength of the entire legion has reached an extremely terrifying level.

Next came a group of heroic private soldiers, Hua Mulan's female bodyguards, Gongshu Ling's children, Li Cunxiao's flying tiger cavalry, Lin Chong's imperial tiger cavalry, Wu Song's Tai Sui warriors, Yang Zhi's Yang family's personal cavalry, and so on. The White Dragon Army he trained with the White Dragon Spear of the Split Formation totaled nearly 50,000.

Although the number of 50,000 soldiers is not large, because they are private soldiers, their combat strength is basically the same as that of the second-tier troops.

Legendary heroes such as Hua Mulan, Gongshu Ling, Li Cunxiao, etc., after advancement, will also increase the level of personal guards and private soldiers, greatly increasing their combat power. Although they are not as good as super model over-the-counter units such as the White Dragon Army, they are still A first-class powerful army in the second level.

More importantly, because of the effect of the mythical building of Baizhan Campus, these special units have reached the highest level through training, such as the "divine power" level Taiping Huangtian warriors, and the "Tao method" level Taiping Huangtian Warlocks, as well as Mulan's bodyguards at the "Women" level, Flying Tiger Cavalry at the "Taibao" level, and the Formation-Breaking White Dragon Army at the "Jiao Bian" level.

These special units that have reached the highest level are definitely the pinnacle of combat power among the second-tier units. Supermodel units like the Formation-Breaking White Dragon Army are even catching up with the third-tier units.

Such a powerful army, coupled with a group of heroes who have successfully advanced, even if you ignore Xu Yang, the anomaly among the anomalies, this territory is at the peak or even the ultimate level among the second-level lords.

He had no choice but to accumulate a lot of experience. At the first level, he captured hundreds of territories. The accumulation of wars was too strong. Coupled with the special nature of the data laws of this world, although it was only a short year, the development and changes were huge. Still turned upside down.

Now that the safety time has not ended, he has rushed to the top of the second-level rookie list, and the reputation list has reached the top fifty.

Different from the first level, although the second level ranking list also has the setting of double champion, the settlement time of the list has been increased from one year to ten years. In other words, a newly promoted second level lord only needs to reach the top within ten years. If you top the second list and persist until the annual settlement, you will be rewarded with the second-level double crown.

Xu Yang is now at the top of the rookie list and at fifty on the reputation list. He only needs a few more steps to become the second-level double champion.

Of course, these steps are very difficult, because the top fifty or even top hundred lords on the second-level reputation list basically have god-level talents, god-level equipment, god-level buildings, and even god-level heroes.

There is no way. The Tower of Babel is too big, and there are more than hundreds of millions of living beings under its rule. You don’t need too many things like genius. In addition, the second-level list has been settled for ten years. All the lords who can be on the list are the ones who are the best among geniuses. Genius, the pride of pride.

Therefore, even with Xu Yang, he can only reach the 50th place in the rankings, and there are many strong opponents ahead.

But it doesn't matter, because...

"Safety time is over!"

"The Lord of Babel Tower "Zhou Tianqi" used the battle order (designated) to launch an attack on your territory!"

"The Lord of Babel Tower "Zhou Yunzong" used the battle order (alliance) to join this war!"

"Lord of Babel Tower "Zhou Yunmeng" used the battle order (alliance) to join the war!

"The Lord of Babel Tower "Zhou Xianlong" used the battle order (alliance) to join this war!"

"Lord of Babel Tower..."

"The enemy hero "Liu Xiu (Guangwu)" used a special skill - Recover the Han Dynasty!"

"Because your territory belongs to the Yellow Turban Civilization, you are unable to resist this attack due to the effect of this skill!"

"Because your territory belongs to the Yellow Turban Civilization, due to the effect of this skill, your territory has been banned. All units/heroes/buildings/items of the Yellow Turban Civilization cannot enter or exit the Tower of Babel!"

"Because your territory belongs to the Yellow Turban Civilization, affected by the effect of this skill, the number of enemy Han Dynasty civilization lords and heroes will increase by 300% this time!"

"The enemy will descend on your territory in three hours!"

There is no charge for partially repeated words.
