Chapter 400: Chapter 298: Rapid Development

Even if I’m not wearing anything, it would still take 9 hits with a two-handed Big Iron Saber to kill me.

With a one-handed Iron Saber, it would take 14 hits.

My survivability is pretty good now.

After all, unlike those women, I can’t resurrect, so I have to be more cautious.

Only by staying alive can I have everything.

As for the Hero’s Free Points... which Attribute should I improve?

’[Government Affairs] is a good option.’

’It increases the Effect of all items I create.’

’With the 2-point Bonus from my Village Chief position, I now have 22 points in Government Affairs.’

’These 22 points in Government Affairs are like a universal Professional Skill.’

’It’s Effective when making attire, Kerosene, and even Weapons.’

’I spend most of my time crafting.’

’If I enhance Government Affairs, I’d benefit from it most of the time.’

’My crafting would become faster and better.’

’Besides that, Government Affairs is a Hero Attribute, so it’s Effective for my subordinates.’

’If I set Fang Li’s Construction Team as my direct subordinates, their building Ability would increase by 22%.’

’If I set Ding Dang’s Forging group as my subordinates, their Forging Ability would also increase by 22%.’

’And that’s not all.’

’Government Affairs can also directly increase Equipment Attributes.’

’It can increase Durability by 22%, and strengthen Attack and Defense by 22% as well.’

’Of course, that includes attire.’

’This is a very comprehensive Hero Attribute.’

’So, Government Affairs is a candidate.’

’[Commander] is also pretty good.’

’With the 2-point Bonus from my Village Chief position, I now have 32 points in Commander.’

’I can command 32 direct subordinates.’

’I’m a Lord.’

’Theoretically, all the people in my territory are my subordinates.’

’However, they are only subordinates in terms of Identity.’

’The number of people who can actually receive my Bonus is only 32.’

’For example, the Government Bonus I just mentioned can only be enjoyed by those 32 people.’

’So, increasing my Command Ability by 10 points would let me add 10 more direct subordinates, which is also a great option.’

’Furthermore...’

’My Encourage and Wind and Cloud Step can both be used on groups.’

’Based on my Commander stat, I can currently use them on 32 people at a time.’

’To apply the Bonus to all 200 Female Soldiers, I’d have to cast it 7 times.’

’If I add 10 points, I could use it on 42 people each time.’

’I’d only need to use the Skills 5 times to give all 200 Female Soldiers the Bonus.’

’Commander is also a candidate.’

’[Martial Arts] is great too...’

’The Martial Arts Attribute is very direct.’

’It directly increases final Damage and Damage Reduction.’

’I currently have 22 points in Martial Arts.’

’Every time I attack, I deal 22% more Damage.’

’When I’m attacked, I also take 22% less Damage.’

’My guiding principle is survival.’

’Increasing Martial Arts would also boost my survivability.’

’It’s really not bad.’

’And Martial Arts is also a Hero Attribute, so my direct subordinates can receive the same Bonus.’

’For example, if I set 32 Female Swordsmen as my direct subordinates...’

’...then those 32 Female Swordsmen would also get a +22% final Damage Bonus and +22% Damage Reduction.’

’If I increased my Martial Arts by 10 points, those Bonuses would become +32%.’

’Then again...’

’If I increased my Commander stat by 10...’

’...then I could have 42 Female Swordsmen receiving the Bonus.’

’You could say every Hero Attribute is important.’

’I want to increase them all.’

’But there’s one more Attribute.’

’[Spiritual Pressure].’

’Spiritual Pressure directly increases the Effect of Spiritual Techniques.’

’Like Encouragement Technique, Thunder Light Technique, Wind and Cloud Step, and Doubling Technique.’

’I have 22 points in Spiritual Pressure right now.’

’The Effect of all these Spiritual Skills is directly increased by 22%.’

’It’s very straightforward.’

’On top of that...’

’Spiritual Pressure also increases my Defense against enemy Spiritual Techniques.’

’For example, if an enemy uses Fireball, I would take 22% less Damage from it.’

’If they use Taunt, the Effect of the Taunt on me would be reduced by 22%.’

’Spiritual Pressure is also a Hero Attribute, so it affects my direct subordinates.’

’It can increase the spiritual defense of all my direct subordinates by 22%.’

’And if my direct subordinates can use Spiritual Techniques, it increases their Effect by 22%.’

’Spiritual Pressure is really good too.’

I was really struggling with this decision.

[Commander] increases the number of direct subordinates and the number of people my Spiritual Techniques can cover.

[Martial Arts] increases final Damage and Damage Reduction for myself and my direct subordinates.

[Spiritual Pressure] increases the power of Spiritual Techniques and Spiritual Technique Reduction for myself and my direct subordinates.

[Government Affairs] increases all production-related Professional Abilities and Equipment Attributes for myself and my direct subordinates.

Which one should I pick?

After thinking it over and over, I decided to go with Spiritual Pressure this time.

Government Affairs is good, but it doesn’t increase Combat Power. You have to win fights to survive.

Martial Arts is good, but I’m still not strong enough, and I don’t plan on charging into the fray myself. If it comes to close combat, I’ll have Qi Yue and the others do the fighting.

Commander is good, but it doesn’t really suit my current situation, so it’s not the best choice right now.

I’ll stick with Spiritual Pressure.

It’ll give an extra boost to the effects of both Encouragement Technique and Wind and Cloud Step.

It will also make Thunder Light Technique stronger.

Most importantly, it will enhance the Effect of my Doubling Technique.

All points into Spiritual Pressure. Confirm.

[Name]Zhao Chi

[Ability]108

[Commander]32

[Martial Arts]22

[Spiritual Pressure]32

[Government Affairs]22

Not bad.

Although I felt like these stats were low, they were actually pretty good.

After all, a Hero with S+ Level in all their Attributes is incredibly rare.

The other Lords from my batch are basically all still Junior Lords.

Even the most outstanding among them would need at least two to three months to be promoted to Middle Level Lord.

Most people need half a year.

Who promotes directly in just one month?

Unless they’re nobility or someone being specially cultivated by a major family.

This, however, created a potential problem for me.

After all, to the outside world, I only had a Middle Level Village with a Combat Power of around 230.

But I was a Middle Level Lord?

A Middle Level Lord should at least have a town-sized territory, and their Combat Power couldn’t possibly be this low.

’Will Xiao Ning become suspicious?’

’But she probably doesn’t have time to look at such detailed information right now, right?’

’Even if she did notice, she probably wouldn’t care too much.’

’After all, she has the Alien Race backing her; she’s arrogant and extremely self-confident.’

’It should be fine.’

Scrolling down.
