Chapter 105: The Academy's Gu-raising Strategy
One of the instructors pondered for a moment, then bowed to the two five-star instructors and said:
"Teacher Xiao Zhenqian and Teacher Tai Shujing, this time it's up to you. I have an idea. Won't the academy temporarily open the passage later?"
"I wonder if we can determine a few gathering points and gather all the apprentices together, with the apprentices under the two mentors as the leaders, to defend the dangerous areas until two years later."
Xiao Zhenqian pondered for a moment and said:
"Of course you can, but if protecting them will affect the plans of my apprentices, I will need some compensation."
"In addition, during the sanctuary period, if a battle is fought and the Undead Hero is killed or the Lord of the Prepared Scourge is defeated, the Favor of the Eternal Tree obtained will belong to my apprentice."
Everyone looked at each other, some instructors hesitated, and some instructors said:
"That's no problem. We'll talk about it first if we can save our lives."
Xiao Zhenqian then smiled and said:
"Then if you need it, you can contact me privately before the channel is opened. I will not wait after the deadline."
In the laboratory of the high tower, Li Qing was sitting at his desk, looking at a complicated magic rune spread out on the desk in front of him.
This is a standard basic power magic pattern construct. Like many basic runes and magic circles, it is distributed as a welfare benefit by the academy and is free of charge.
After finishing learning the basic theoretical subjects and studying the production of several golems, Li Qing's eyes naturally fell on the magic pattern construction.
The so-called magic pattern structure, for Li Qing, who has now mastered many magic runes and magic arrays, is a super-complex compound magic array composed of many magic runes superimposed on each other. However, the superimposed magic runes can be connected as one, but also clearly separated.
To put it simply, it is to draw super complex magic circles in a space the size of a palm or even smaller than the palm.
All these runes are squeezed together, with separate parts and overlapping parts.
The overlapping part is very particular. When overlapping, it can connect all the magic circles into one while not affecting each other.
It sounds contradictory, and it is indeed contradictory. Ordinary people can't even understand it.
This is even more complicated than drawing a magic circle for a war spell. Even now, Li Qing has just completed the basic theoretical subjects and started to practice.
Li Qing has been watching for nearly an hour and now feels a little dizzy.
I pinched my eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh:
"No wonder there are no serious magic pattern constructors in the academy. This thing is really too difficult."
After taking a sip of tea to wake himself up, Li Qing was about to continue observing when suddenly a screen of light flashed in front of his eyes. After several flashes, the projection of his mentor appeared.
Li Qing stood up in surprise and asked:
"Has the Academy regained control of the plane?"
Nie Yang shook his head and said:
"Not yet. This is a temporary passage that will only be opened for an hour. Time is very tight. To make a long story short, there are seven prepared scourge lords coming this time, two of whom are direct descendants of the Undead Overlords. They are very powerful."
"This natural disaster invasion will last for two years. In order to compensate you, the academy has given you a series of compensations, which will be sent to you later. Please take a closer look and make a decision quickly."
" In addition, the two five-star mentors are willing to let their apprentices accept and protect you. The price is that the favors and benefits you receive during this period will belong to them. You can decide whether to go or not."
"Well……"
Li Qing touched his chin and said:
"I have already joined the team under the name of Master Tai Shujing and have been recognized by them as a formal member. Do I still have to pay these prices?"
Nie Yang was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything for a while.
After more than ten seconds, he said:
"Normally, it shouldn't be necessary. But if your team does something big in the next two years, such as killing one or two potential Scourge Lords, plus some Scourge heroes, the Eternal Tree and the Academy will reward you with dozens of points of favor, and you will get several points or even more than ten points. Then it's hard to say."
"Even the apprentices of a five-star mentor cannot ignore the things that can be exchanged for the favor of the Eternal God Tree. If everyone can get three or four points, do you think they will be tempted?"
Li Qing...
Nothing to say.
Zhao Dingzhen would definitely not have any idea, and Miss Gu would not have any idea either. She probably would not look down on them, but the same could not be said for the other formal members of their team.
Except for three of the five official members who have their own ideas, there will be a lot of arguments in the future.
Miss Gu can easily make them obedient, but she may not necessarily make them willing to give up huge benefits.
Besides, their team is just a temporary team. They are not Miss Gu's subordinates. Their team will be split up after the training is over, and they will not form a new team in the future. At that time, they will not care about Miss Gu's face.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Miss Gu can suppress them so much that they will obey even this.
But it's just a possibility, does he need to take the risk?
unnecessary!
So, Li Qing simply raised his head:
"Teacher, can you contact Mr. Zhao Dingzhen, the teacher of Taishu Jing?"
"Okay, I'll convey it to you. What do you need to say?"
"Well……"
"I just told him directly that because of the decision made by the instructors, I will not go there to avoid future disputes."
"Well, it's better to say it directly. There will be no misunderstanding."
The mentor's projection disappeared, but the light screen was still there. Li Qing first looked at the academy's decision, including the rewards for killing the Scourge Lord and the Scourge Hero, as well as the 100 million scholarships given by the school, and various other exciting killing rewards.
“This is raising a Gu!”
Li Qing rubbed his chin. The academy's reward plan was so attractive because it strongly encouraged them to fight against natural disaster heroes and even lords.
In the current environment, we encourage them to take the initiative, which is called raising insects.
If you can kill multiple Scourge heroes and a Scourge Lord within two years, you can easily accumulate more than ten or even twenty points of the Favor of the Eternal Tree.
Referring to the value of things that Li Qing had exchanged for four points of favor before, how much could the value of more than ten or twenty points of favor be?
If we can get into the top three, we will take off immediately.
Li Qing was quite tempted by this. If possible, he would certainly have this idea.
With 100 million in funds, Li Qing thought for a moment and only spent 10 million to buy 5,000 Imperial Infantry Promotion Card Packs.
12.5 million, purchased 5,000 Imperial Archer Promotion Card Packs.
7.5 million, purchased 500 Imperial Cavalry Promotion Card Packs.
Only 30 million out of the 100 million scholarship was spent, and the remaining 70 million was kept unspent, in preparation for promotion to military service.
With so many military promotion privileges, it is not certain that all of them can be used up.
But we have to be prepared. If something unexpected happens and we lose contact with the academy for a long time, these promotion cards will be our reliance for survival.
Don't say it's impossible, times are changing too fast.
I thought there were only two Scourge Lords, but now there are seven.
We were thinking about sticking together, but the instructors did something weird.
It is possible that this dimension will continue to wander in the future.
This is not just a reckless worry. This plane fragment was also pulled from the void by the Academy's Mage Tower, and others can also pull it away.
It's unlikely, but...
After the instructor finished communicating with Zhao Dingzhen and returned, Li Qing handed in his exchange form, and the card package was quickly transferred over.
Nie Yang did not ask Li Qing whether he wanted to change anything else, but only reminded him to be careful.
"You are not strong enough now, but you are stronger than Cao Wenyuan and others. Perhaps you can survive together with them. As long as you can hold on until two years later , you will definitely gain a lot and improve."
"Also, once you can take back your divine domain, you should move to another place as soon as possible. Your current location has no natural defenses, and any slightly stronger natural disaster hero will be hard to resist. If you encounter more than two, it will be dangerous."
Nie Yang said to Li Qing earnestly during the communication:
"You have great potential, and you have released some of that potential. If it weren't for this accident, you would have a good ranking, but it's a pity that this accident happened."
"Teacher, I don't ask you to do anything big in the next two years, just survive."
Then the instructor conveyed Zhao Dingzhen's words:
"If you feel it's getting hard to continue, you can come to this coordinate to find us."
Then he sent a coordinate and said:
"They have now gathered at this place. One of the official team members has expanded his own divine domain there, established a semi-fixed base, and is accepting asylum applications from other apprentices."
"If you have any ideas, you can go directly there."
Then, while the instructor was giving numerous instructions, the passage was interrupted.
Li Qing let out a long sigh. This break meant that he would lose contact with the college for the next two years and would have to rely on himself for everything.
This also carries a considerable risk for the academy. Although the academy has a backup plan, if an accident really happens, many apprentices will definitely die in this plane, and the academy will be under considerable pressure at that time.
But this opportunity is rare. Under normal circumstances, the War Lord Apprentices would have no chance to face the Scourge Lord so fairly.
The risk is too great for a weak apprentice, but for a powerful Warlord apprentice this is a golden opportunity.
After that day, Li Qing's daily routine was no different from usual and remained the same as usual.
The only change is that the development progress of the third floor of the Divine Domain Farm and the second floor of the Ranch has been accelerated.
Then summon one or two dragon vein snake people every day and slowly accumulate the number.
Just hide for now, and wait until the Divine Domain has been expanded for a full year, then decide whether to continue hiding or close the Divine Domain and move to another place.
Time flies, and some time has passed before I knew it.
Finally, the day came when the Divine Realm had been opened for a full year. Feeling that the Divine Realm could be closed again, Li Qing put away his pen and let out a long sigh.
Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed in front of his eyes to open the light curtain. He then said to his men on the light curtain:
"The Divine Domain can be put away again. Prepare to hold a meeting to decide on the next strategy."
After waiting for his subordinates to respond one by one and closing the light curtain, Li Qing's eyes fell on the complex and chaotic patterns on the smooth animal skin in front of him and he started writing again.
This is drawing the magic pattern construct.
To be precise, it is a simulation and practice.
Draw on draft paper, familiarize yourself with the process and the sequence of different rune arrays, as well as the relationship between rune arrays and their mutual triggering and activation and other factors.
This thing was harder to draw than he had imagined.
It's not like he hasn't drawn in the palm space before, so the complexity isn't a big problem; it's mainly the strength that stumps him.
Because every stroke of drawing the magic pattern construction array requires the injection of mental power and magic power, as well as energy related to soul power, integration and other factors, which requires very high strength.
Generally speaking, a wizard of level six or above needs to have his soul strength, mental power and magic power meet all the requirements.
Li Qing has a divinity bonus and a level 5 intellect. His soul strength and mental power are barely up to standard, but his integration is not up to standard.
The so-called degree of integration, in other words, means that the soul, mental power and magical power must be condensed into one and not dispersed when they are drawn and integrated into the magic ink.
Under normal circumstances, when a transcendent wizard is promoted to a transcendent level, his essence, energy and spirit will be integrated, which is commonly known as qualitative change, to condense his own extraordinary qualities.
Li Qing has not yet been promoted to the extraordinary level. Although his soul, mental power and magic power are strong, their integration is insufficient.
Therefore, even if this super-complex compound magic array can be completely replicated in the palm space, it is still impossible to produce a real magic pattern structure due to the lack of concentration.
Since it is impossible to advance to the extraordinary level at this stage, I can only rely on myself to find a way to solve the problem.
Once you can solve it, you can start making magic pattern constructs.
Half an hour later, Li Qing heard An Erqiu's voice:
"Boss, everyone is here."
He put down his pen and went to the first floor of the tower. Many of his men had already arrived and were chatting in the hall.
When they saw him, everyone stopped chatting and greeted him.
Li Qing nodded, came to the main seat and sat down, saying:
"The divine domain can now be closed. Let's discuss whether to continue to stay here or leave and find a place to stay."
An Erqiu immediately stood up and said:
"I think we'd better move to another place. The position here is not good. We can be attacked from all directions, and it is too difficult to defend. If we can find a place where we only need to defend two sides, we can maximize our advantage of having fewer but better soldiers."
Xie Zhu also stood up and said:
"I also think Mr. An Erqiu's suggestion is good. This place is too bad."
Li Qing looked at the other professionals, and Dai Lirong spread his hands and said:
"We are only responsible for internal affairs , not combat operations. You can make the decision on this matter."
Li Qing retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, and said:
"In that case, let's change places."
After that, he took out a plane map and spread it on the table. He pointed at one of the locations and said:
"This is our divine domain. If we put away the divine domain, should we go to the north or the west?"
The south is the edge of the plane, which is even less suitable.
To the east is a primitive jungle, which is also not suitable.
An Erqiu seemed to have been prepared for this. He came to the desk, drew a line on the map, and said:
"I think we can go this way, go north along the river, and get closer to Miss Gu. We don't have to join them, but if we get close, if we face danger in the future and can't escape, we can directly get close to their gathering place to avoid danger."
"Going up the river can also reduce danger. If you encounter a powerful undead hero, you can cross the river to take shelter."
