Chapter 32 Recruiting Men
One hero transformation card is worth 50 points, and five elite Mo Dao soldiers’ promotion runes are worth 25 points, which is exactly 75 points.
Li Qing looked up and saw the smile in his mentor's eyes. He pointed at these two points without hesitation and said:
"Teacher, I want to exchange these two."
"Can!"
Then, the instructor rubbed his index finger together, and six cards appeared in his hand, feeling as if they had been prepared long ago.
It was definitely prepared a long time ago.
Li Qing took the card respectfully:
“Thank you, mentor!”
"This is the reward you deserve!"
Handing the card to Li Qing, Nie Yang motioned him to sit down and continued:
"The rewards have been distributed. Now let's talk about some of your shortcomings in this class."
Li Qing said quickly:
"Please give me some advice, teacher."
"You have done well in other aspects, but you have a shortcoming that may be fatal in the future. That is, you don't have a long-term vision, you don't have enough imagination, and you don't have a good grasp of the information you have."
"It can be seen that in the last level, your original plan was to use the three sections of the city wall to consume the power of the undead army in turn, and then launch a counterattack at the end."
"But later on, your hero was suddenly promoted and gained new abilities, so he changed his plan and killed the undead hero head-on."
"Why didn't you think of this before? You should know the level of your hero and know that he is not far from being promoted to the next level."
"You are lucky this time. If it happened on other battlefields, it would mean that all the previous preparations were redundant. The precious strategic time and large amount of resources consumed in the preparations were wasted."
The instructor's words left Li Qing speechless.
You are absolutely right, he really hadn't thought about this aspect.
If it were a real battlefield, the time freed up by building two more walls might directly change the outcome of the battle.
At this time, Nie Yang stood up, walked around the desk and came to him, patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said:
"Don't blame yourself too much. You are in the learning stage now, so you are allowed to make mistakes, but you need to remember to not make the same mistake again in the future."
Li Qing nodded:
"I see."
"That's good to know. Go back and think about it carefully."
Coming out of his mentor's study, Li Qing kept thinking about the experience of the fifth round of challenges and reviewing that battle.
When he returned to the dormitory, the review was completed and Li Qing already had an idea of his abilities.
Take out a notebook and write down everything the instructor says and your own thoughts.
As you grow in the future, you can take it out and watch it from time to time, and integrate it into practice for a long time, and you will naturally change over time.
After returning to the Divine Realm, Li Qing first took out the Divine Realm Ranch Card and came to the south of the Divine Realm. He found an open space next to the blacksmith shop under construction, moved the debris on the ground and leveled it, and then activated the Divine Realm Card.
A ball of white light flew out and quickly expanded into a huge ball. After a series of twists and turns, a Divine Domain Ranch building that had been seen before took shape and slowly landed on the flat ground.
The white light slowly retreated, revealing a building that was ten meters long, wide, and high...
From the outside, Shenyu Ranch looks like a condensed ranch building. There is a circle of stone walls on the edge of the building that is ten meters long. Three of the walls are only two meters high, and the wall facing north is ten meters high. There is an eight-meter-wide stone gate embedded in the wall, which is large enough to accommodate two trucks entering and exiting at the same time.
The entire building is wrapped in a layer of substantial light, and through the two-meter-high stone wall one can see a miniature farm model inside.
The gate allows you to enter, and there is a layer of light film that looks like water waves.
Li Qing walked into the gate and passed through the light film, and found himself standing in a wide square with the ground paved with thick bluestone slabs.
There are buildings on three sides of the stone square. One side is the ranch management area and where the workers live. There are three small buildings in the main area. It can be clearly seen that the largest one is the dormitory, but there is no one in the ranch at this time.
On the other side are various slaughterhouses and meat processing plants, which are connected to the warehouse area on the third side.
As for the cowshed and other facilities, they were built further away and surrounded by a high wall.
The facilities are quite complete, but they are all very old, some are already broken and need repair.
Li Qing took a look around and felt that when there were enough stones and wood in the future, all these buildings should be demolished, rebuilt and expanded.
He plans to build a complete processing production line here, including workshops and factories, to complete the entire process from birth to growth and harvesting of these livestock in one stop.
Well, if the expansion of the divine domain is not fast enough in the future, a residential area can be built here to accommodate the temporary residence of the people of the divine domain.
This ranch base was built in the middle of the bottom of the ranch, that is, at the bottom of the 10-kilometer-long middle line of the ranch. Whether to the left, right, or upward, it is five kilometers away.
Li Qing arrived at the main gate of the base. What he saw was an endless green grassland with tender grass. Occasionally he could see a few trees, but he did not see any animals.
The sky is blue with white clouds, and there is a sun shadow hanging in the sky to provide light for the pasture.
Li Qing saw that outside the ranch base there was an artificial ditch that was ten meters wide and three meters deep. The ditch surrounded the base and then circled the entire ranch along the edge of the ranch. There were also several large ditches in the middle that divided the ranch.
Under normal circumstances, the water in these ditches not only provides drinking water for livestock, but also nourishes the grass on the pastures.
In addition, there is a large pit in the middle of the left and right ends of the ranch, extending to the bottom of the Divine Domain Ranch. Due to the terrain at the bottom of the lake, the water that seeps into the ground will gather into this large pit to form a lake.
Then the ground of the big lake is the highest, and the lake water is pumped out and poured into the canal, and then flows along the ditch to the surrounding areas of the ranch, ensuring that there are no problems with the water circulation of the entire Divine Domain Ranch.
But because of this continuous circulation without the addition of fresh water, the water in the pasture will have some taste after a long time and will not be suitable for drinking.
In addition, fish can be raised in ditches and lakes to improve life.
In the future, if possible, we can even capture some extraordinary creatures in the wild and raise them.
As a divine ranch, it raises more than just chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.
After a round, it was found that there was no problem with the ranch. All they needed to do was find a wizard to draw some water from the water elemental plane, prepare 30 herdsmen and some livestock cubs, and they could start operating.
There is no problem with herders, just pick 30 followers from the divine realm.
There is no need for professional herders. You will learn how to herd after a while. Besides, many of the clans in the Divine Realm have raised chickens, ducks, and pigs, and some have raised cattle, so they have the experience.
The livestock cubs are a problem. I need to ask my instructor. I don’t know if he has any.
After coming out of the pasture, Li Qing directly gave orders to the leaders of several of his relatives, asking them to pick some people from their own groups to serve as herdsmen.
Since there were no livestock calves yet, he was not in a hurry to get the herders into position.
As for the five Empire Elite Modao Soldier Promotion Cards and Hero Transformation Cards, Li Qing did not use them at this time.
There is no war for the time being, and he hasn't decided which hero to transform into.
As for the Elite Strange Blade Soldier Promotion Card, there are two ways to use it. One way is to use it immediately to transform five level 5 recruits who can be directly promoted to level 5 Elite Strange Blade Soldiers.
Another way is to wait until you have trained a fourth-level Imperial Heavy Infantry, and then use this promotion card to unlock the restrictions of the Heavy Infantry, allowing the Heavy Infantry to be promoted to a fifth-level elite swordsman.
Because the upper limit of promotion for Li Qing's current infantry and archers is level four. After reaching level four, no matter how much combat experience he accumulates, he cannot be promoted anymore.
A higher level promotion card is required to unlock permissions in order to continue to advance.
Moreover, promotion cards can only be unlocked to a certain level. For example, if he is now a fifth-level elite swordsman, he can only be unlocked to this level. After the promotion, if he wants to be promoted to the sixth-level troop, he must have the corresponding sixth-level troop promotion card to unlock it.
These advanced military promotion cards are in the hands of the Supreme Order Throne, who is in charge of the imperial military system, and the war lord thrones under him.
The instructor is affiliated with the Blackrock Spire War College.
Blackrock Spire War College is a war college directly under the Blackrock Realm Lord.
The Lord of Blackrock Realm is one of the War Lord thrones under the Supreme Order throne, so naturally he has these advanced troop cards.
This means that the main forces that ordinary war lords possess are only at most level four, and the elite forces above level four are mostly accumulated slowly through various means, and are the kind that are difficult to replenish once they are gone.
Only the war lords directly under the Supreme Throne of Order can frequently obtain promotion cards for troops above level five, and can form an army of a certain scale above level five.
This is the difference between our own people and outsiders. War lords of the same level have very different combat capabilities.
Therefore, Li Qing’s method is to first train a few fourth-order heavy infantrymen, and then use this promotion card to unlock them as elite Modao soldiers, saving the effort of training them slowly.
After all, it is too risky to start as a recruit. You are also weak in the early stages, and it would be a huge loss if you die.
After the big class, the next days returned to the normal class period, with classes, library, etc. day after day.
Even the weekly mentoring classes are mostly theoretical courses, as well as defenses between mentors and apprentices, and there are no difficult assessments like the first week.
In the words of your instructor, you only have these two months to study quietly, and it won’t take up too much of your time.
What is certain is that they will have another important assessment at the end of the second month.
With strength and mental power far beyond that of ordinary people, Li Qing's theoretical classes have always ranked first, including all war lord apprentices, heroes and professionals.
The courses were not neglected, and the construction of the divine domain was not neglected.
First, he bought 10,000 chickens and 10,000 ducks from his mentor at the price of 5 yuan each, spending a total of 100,000 yuan.
Then I bought 2,000 goslings from my mentor at the price of 10 yuan each, spending only 20,000 yuan.
Then, he bought 2,000 sheep at the price of 200 yuan per head, spending a total of 400,000 yuan.
He bought 100 grassland calves at a price of 1,500 yuan each, spending a total of 150,000 yuan.
And bought 20 foals at a price of 1,200, spending 24,000 yuan.
It cost a total of 694,000 to barely build the Shenyu Ranch.
In addition, he spent 80,000 yuan to buy 10 grassland horses to graze for the herdsmen.
He also spent 100,000 yuan to hire an assistant teacher to cast a spell to communicate with a water element plane in the void near the plane fragment group, and drew a large amount of clean water from the water element plane to pour it into several ditches that surrounded the entire Divine Domain Ranch and intersected in the middle.
To be honest, this is definitely a friendship price, and it is definitely the tutor's secret care.
Normally, asking a wizard to fill up all the ditches in the Divine Domain Ranch would be impossible without several million dollars.
After finishing all this, the entire ranch started to operate normally.
The Divine Realm developed step by step, and Li Qing himself also continued to study step by step, going between the classroom, the library, and the dormitory.
It is worth mentioning that since the news that Li Qing ranked first among all the apprentices in the first big class spread, the number of heroes and professional apprentices who came to him privately increased a lot, and almost every day someone contacted him and wanted to serve him.
There were many young and beautiful female apprentices among them. Even when I returned to the dormitory at night, I could see pink envelopes stuck in the crack of the door.
Faced with their enthusiasm, Li Qing was not indifferent. He took time out from his studies to learn about some of the apprentices' information.
As the Divine Realm develops, and he will need to go out for training in the near future, he really needs a group of talents.
The way to understand the channel is very simple. Just ask a few teaching assistants. They know the progress of the apprentices.
In addition, you need to understand their personality, character, habits and other factors from all aspects.
After a month, the list in Li Qing's hand was basically finalized.
Two heroes, four professionals.
After a period of development, Li Qing did feel that he could not do it alone.
Although the civilians of the Divine Realm are loyal, they are all peasants from foreign lands, illiterate, and have little experience. They have no problem doing the work, but they are all trash if they are asked to manage the Divine Realm.
Training them is time-consuming and laborious, and the results are not good.
Li Qing thought about it and decided to find an apprentice.
At least he has received a complete education, can fully implement his ideas, and can handle various affairs independently, saving effort and worry.
What's more, they are all professionals, and there are two heroes among them. No matter how poor their potential is, it will be much stronger than the natives. It will not be a loss if we train them seriously.
Moreover, he controls the space in his palm, which continuously accumulates the mysterious power that can strengthen the soul and mental strength. If they perform well in the future and are worthy of training, he will not hesitate to give them some power to enhance their potential.
Outside the Mentor’s Castle, in a small auditorium.
Six young people, four men and two women, stood in a row, some nervous, some surprised, and some confused. In front of them, Li Qing was sitting at the desk reading a book.
Shao Qing closed the book, crossed his fingers, looked up at the six people, and said in a deep voice:
"I won't say anything more. After more than half a month of observation, I have found you six to be very impressive. I am calling you together now to ask for your opinions."
"Choices are two-way. Maybe I am satisfied with you, but you prefer another War Lord Apprentice. After all, once you make a decision like this, it basically determines where you will spend the rest of your life. You can think about it before making a decision."
The six people looked at each other, some were surprised, some frowned in thought, and looked hesitant.
Li Qing didn't say anything to disturb their thoughts. He didn't have much communication with them before, and most of the time he didn't say a word. It was normal to have accidents.
But before five seconds had passed, one of the tallest and most muscular men asked Li Qing:
"Mr. Li Qing, if I am willing to serve you, what will I get?"
