Chapter 360 Gambling with Your Future
This was Shen Fei's first time to come into contact with such a world with high-level extraordinary rules.
His interest in the rules of this world was even greater than the world itself.
After all, as a person who owned a small world, he theoretically had the opportunity to refer to or even copy the same world rules.
If he could fully understand the essence of this promotion rule, he might be able to easily achieve this leapfrog development. At that time, the strength of the people and even the servants in the territory could be further improved.
However, this was a long process.
At present, although Shen Fei could feel it, his understanding was very shallow. He roughly estimated that the difficulty was roughly equivalent to the energy and time required for a "genius" with the current world's extreme talent to practice from scratch.
This process, which would take at least ten years, was obviously too slow for Shen Fei, the lord.
"The Star Creation Tree might be useful." Shen Fei thought, "If a copy of the rules could be backed up and studied in the training tower, the speed might be further accelerated."
However, although there was an idea, it still took time.
At present, we still need to understand the basic situation.
In addition to the leap-forward promotion of awakeners, there is another way, which is hard practice.
This involves "inheriting the practice".
The practice of this world is essentially the experience learned and summarized by some hard practitioners after a long period of time. There are many similarities, and there are also some steps that require the help of relevant scientific and technological instruments to complete. There are even some practices that are only suitable for a very small number of people and are not universal.
And the levels, characteristics, and practice processes are also very messy.
In Shen Fei's view, this seems to be because the extraordinary rules of this world are very perfect and are not limited to a certain path. Various ways can go on in this world.
For example, a practice called "The Coming of the God of Fire" requires continuous specific exercises in a high-temperature environment, and then supplemented with specific drugs to quickly raise the body temperature. Those who can persist can master the power of the scorching flame and the strong body. In terms of flame control, they are not even inferior to the awakened who have awakened the flame ability.
For example, a technique called "Thunder Master" requires visualization and perception of lightning, and even the introduction of lightning into the body. This technique is relatively simple in steps, but the effect is powerful. It has even cultivated seven or eight Thunder families. Each family has evolved their own techniques based on "Thunder Master", some strong and some weak.
In Shen Fei's view, the essence of these techniques is to explore the extraordinary rules of this world.
Perhaps, it can speed up his deduction process.
"Tingyu, collect the techniques of this world as much as possible." Shen Fei passed a new order to Li Tingyu.
In fact, in the process of conquering the world, collecting techniques is also a matter of course. Now, there are many special techniques research projects in the research institutions that have been brought from Winter Castle to the small world.
However, after Shen Fei issued this order, the next action will be targeted.
On the one hand, collect the techniques first, and on the other hand, prevent the techniques from being destroyed.
It must be said that after having enough power, there is an advantage that individuals cannot match in collecting these resources.
In Shen Fei's eyes, the whole world is already in his pocket.
However, he would not underestimate the natives of this world. After all, there is not even a level 14 unit in the territory now. In terms of strength, the territory is not as strong as this world.
Half of what is done now is bluffing.
Once it is exposed, it will be a bit troublesome.
Shen Fei looked at the report on the power system in front of him again.
The content of this report is indeed very detailed. After being screened and summarized by the intelligence department, there is basically no nonsense. More than 90% of it is dry goods, and even includes many conjectures.
For example, why there are no new gods in the past thousand years.
[The extraordinary system of this world is closely related to emotions, which has been confirmed in the awakening path of the awakeners. Each of the eight gods who appeared before has experienced the great changes in the world 2,400 years ago. From this, two possibilities can be speculated. First, the process of the great changes in the world gave birth to some necessary factors for the achievement of gods. Second, the hot emotions brought by the unique experience of the great changes in the world created gods.]
Shen Fei saw the report content with obvious traces of Sheng Xin, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
His perception once again probed out of the small world and went deep into the world.
Although his strength is only level 13 now, the experience of being able to perfectly master the laws in the small world also gives him a unique perception of the laws of the world.
Therefore, he can be sure that the road to the gods is not closed.
Then, the possibility of the first guess is not great, and the possibility of the second one is greater.
Because of the lack of the impact of the world's great changes and the end of mankind, or because of the two thousand years of focusing on defense, all demigods lack a certain "help".
If they themselves also know this.
"Machi." Shen Fei immediately contacted Machi, "Are the eight major cities in private contact?"
"Your Majesty, our intelligence departments have not yet been able to reach the vicinity of the demigods, and no close connection has been found below the demigods." Machi gave a reply.
Shen Fei took a breath slowly.
He suddenly realized that if the demigods in this world did not lack the courage to face the true gods, then the previous "bluffing" might have a counterproductive effect.
As soon as this thought came up, it seemed that there was a perception from intuition.
That's right.
As the master of the world, although he could not transmit too much power to the outside of the world, this level of perception could still be achieved.
"I'll send you a document for you to read, and then get ready to fight against the Demigod Alliance." He said slowly to Machi.
".Yes." Machi was silent for a moment.
After hanging up the call, she walked to the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the Alliance City filled with various materials, equipment, and personnel outside, her eyes gradually became serious.
To be honest, Maki clearly understood her shortcomings.
That is, she is too talented.
In her previous life, she went from a magic genius to a magic queen, and then to a magic goddess. Although she encountered setbacks and difficulties in the whole legendary process, they were all eliminated under her super high magic talent. That's why she always looks lazy, because she has always looked at everything from a bird's-eye view.
But now, the pressure is coming like a tide.
Whether it is the sudden increase in the number of legendary heroes or the setbacks in front of her, she clearly realizes that the challenges ahead are far beyond her previous life.
"No wonder you retreated at the peak of your career." She suddenly thought of Li Tingyu.
From being below one person and above ten thousand people, she has become a secretary-like figure. Although her status still looks noble, her power and influence have obviously decreased a lot.
Obviously, Li Tingyu had long understood that with the rapid expansion of the territory and the Dark Night Kingdom, it would be difficult for her to be as comfortable as before.
Taking a step back, she could better guarantee her position in the heart of the lord.
However——
"Isn't this the life I want?" Maki narrowed her eyes, and her whole person seemed to have changed.
Why did she give up her identity as a magic goddess?
She just didn't want to sit on the throne and become a god who looked down on everything but was like a sculpture.
Life has endless fun, each of which makes her obsessed, and challenges are one of them.
"I want to speed up the construction of the city!" She suddenly contacted Jinze, "There is no need to build an eighth-level alliance city. Build a sixth-level or even a fifth-level city first, but the speed must be fast, and it must be spread all over the world in the fastest time. In addition, the new city lord does not need to be arranged for the time being, and the migration of personnel is suspended. Except for the current twenty cities, the bronze formations of other cities are all closed."
"Are you going to build hundreds of empty cities?" Jinze understood what Maki meant.
"That's right. Since the other party is ready to take action, there is no need to pretend." Maki said affirmatively.
"My job is to fully support you when expanding externally, but I will write a report and submit it to His Majesty." Imazawa's tone was still calm.
"Okay." Maki hung up the call and contacted Li Tingyu again, asking directly, "How much level 14 combat power can be taken out now?"
"There are four force-type buildings that can threaten level 14, but the only one that can ensure victory is Death Watch, but the cooling time is relatively long." Li Tingyu didn't know what Maki was going to do, but just replied normally, "In addition, Fina, Shadow, Lu Jian, and An Xi will be able to break through level 13 one after another in about ten days. With the best elixir and equipment, they can barely reach level 14 combat power."
"Ten days? Enough." Maki hung up the call.
Li Tingyu seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, but it was her responsibility to share intelligence information in the territory.
If Maki wants to make any big move that requires their support, she must discuss it with them first, or get the master's permission, but looking at Maki's appearance, it is obvious that she intends to persuade the master directly.
As long as it can be done, it doesn't matter even if there are problems.
In fact, everything is just as Li Tingyu thought.
Just that day, a report that can be called "bold" was delivered to Shen Fei through emergency communication.
Shen Fei read it calmly, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a while, he said: "Although it is a bit bold, it is indeed feasible, but Maki seems to know very well what she needs in this position."
Li Tingyu did not read the report, so she did not reply, but she seemed to understand something.
Then, Shen Fei directly handed the report to her.
"I've given you permission. You should support her with all your strength. If she wins, her position will be temporarily secure. If she loses, we'll replace her. We'll settle down for a while and digest the gains from the crazy city building. There won't be much loss except for face."
Li Tingyu looked at the report and was silent for a moment.
Then she said with some admiration: "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to take risks. Maki is indeed very suitable to be responsible for outward expansion."
"It's only suitable if you win." Shen Fei smiled slightly, "What I value is not courage, but the lack of the burden of a 'wise man'."
Li Tingyu was stunned and understood.
People like her have a characteristic, that is, they dare not gamble.
They don't believe in luck, they only believe in themselves.
Even if the risk is not big, and there is even a situation where the master is responsible for the bottom line, it is the same.
After all, if you lose the bet, the territory may not lose, but you will lose everything.
Maki does have its own unique courage.
"Go and arrange it." Shen Fei ordered at the end.
"Yes."
After Li Tingyu left, Maki received a response soon.
The response was not unexpected.
After all, she was gambling with her own future, not the victory or defeat of the territory. From the perspective of the lord, there was no reason to refuse.
Everything began to be arranged quickly.
The first person to receive the task was Xue Ling, the ice queen.
When she saw the task, she was stunned.
"This"
"Just do it as you are told." Maki smiled, "This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy, and it is also a fact. We need something more real to examine all the demigods in your world."
"I understand." Xue Ling exhaled slowly.
Suddenly, she was a little glad that she was the first to be selected.
It seems that even if the strength is temporarily lost, the gods will not lose their wisdom.
Then, not long after, Che Anwei, who was actively contacting other demigods and making rapid progress, suddenly received a very secret message.
The ice queen hopes to contact him.
The way this information was spread was extremely secretive, so secret that it was even impossible to determine whether it was true or not, and this further confirmed their previous speculation that there was a more terrifying existence behind the new demigod, the Ice Queen.
But this could also be a trap.
So, do you want to go?
"So that's how the ancestors felt?" Che Anwei felt that the emotions he was feeling at the moment were unprecedented.
It was as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff where he couldn't see his feet clearly. If he took a step forward, he might die, and if he took a step back, he might die.
Under this strong and real emotion, he could even feel that the barrier that had always been indestructible seemed to have a slight tremor.
So, go!
Because staying where he was would definitely lead to death.
However, he still had to do what he was going to do to the extreme.
So before going to the designated location, Che Anwei mobilized all the forces he could mobilize to investigate intelligence.
Winterburg, or the forces behind Winterburg, basically did not hide some things.
After the first twenty extremely tall cities, half a day, just half a day, more than 200 relatively smaller cities appeared out of thin air!
More than 200 cities!
With a distance of 1,000 kilometers, they spread across the entire continent!
