Ouyang Shuo walked to the east wing of Manor's Lord, and found General Shi reading a book on military history. He did not cut it off but the general quickly noticed his presence.
He turned around and saw Ouyang Shuo standing at the door. Quickly, he got up and bowed respectfully, calling, “Master!” Then, puzzled, he asked, “Since the master has already come, why don't you enter? Nothing to be afraid of ”
Ouyang Shuo laughed. "Seeing you concentrate so hard, I don't have the heart to bother you."
General Shi smiled and scratched his head. "Sir kidding. I have nothing else to do and just love reading books about war in my spare time. Have you come to tell me something? ”
“Yes, there's something I want to ask you. Yesterday, you came back and said you've found a bunch of wild goats. Do you know the location? Can you find them again? ”
General Shi frowned, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "I remember that group of goats numbered around fifty. Some were killed by stray dogs; the rest scattered and fled. "
“Currently, there are no livestock in the region, and meat is very scarce. Yesterday you mentioned the goat in passing. I wonder, can we catch them and bring them back to be tamed? ”
General Shi was shocked for a moment. "That master is really far-sighted, I admire you. With your permission, I will return to where I met them, and follow in their footsteps. "
"That sounds difficult, I'll wait for you to bring the good news."
After sending General Shi away, Ouyang Shuo started wandering around the village to assess the progress of development everywhere. During their break time, he sat down and chatted with everyone, listening to them and giving them attention.
In this way, the villagers would gradually recognize the work of a meticulous, intelligent, and approachable king. Upon seeing it, they would take the initiative to greet him. Ouyang Shuo was not arrogant, and gave each of them a smile in response.
Before lunch, the fence was done. At the entrance of the village, they installed a simple wooden house. On top of the gate, they carved out the 'Shanghai Village', a simple character that stated that the mountain village was officially rooted in the wilderness.
At 3pm, General Shi returned, bringing good news and bad news. The good news was that on patrol he met a bandit on horseback, and after killing him, he obtained a horse and an iron sword. The bad news was that the wild goats left no traces, and effectively disappeared into thin air, so Ouyang Shuo could only languish from losing them.
Ouyang Shuo took the iron horse and sword from the General, and looked at their stats.
Name: Poor horse (bronze rank)
Weight: 30 kg
Speed: 20 km/day
Consumption: 3 units of grain/day
Evaluation: This is almost impossible to drive. Not a war horse at all.
Name: Bad iron sword (bronze rank)
Hardness: 5
Toughness: 3
Evaluation: The iron sword is a broken product, please use it carefully.
At this stage, even bronze-ranked equipment was rare. Suddenly he had two without using his own hands. If he told the other players, they would be half dead from envy.
This was part of the advantage of the ruling class players, the higher the risk, the higher the chances of a fall the better. This kind of high-level monster was nothing in General Shi's eyes. With an iron horse and sword, Ouyang Shuo could now go out and inspect his own territory, he did not need to stay in the village all day. Before learning the basics of riding and spearmanship, he was almost useless.
In the evening, a small residential courtyard and a dining room were both built. During the party in the new dining room, Ouyang Shuo started to change everyone's accommodation.
The main hall of Lord's Manor is the living room, which is used for hospitality and any event. There are rooms on the right and left of the living room. To the east was his office; to the west was his bedroom.
There are courtyards on both sides of the room, with two other rooms. The eastern room was General Shi, while the west currently housed ten people from Zhao village.
Last night ten people slept there, but they didn't have enough space.
After finishing the small residential courtyard, he had room for twenty people to live. Tonight, most of Zhao's people would move out, leaving only Zhao Dexian and Zhao Youfang in their new home. The previously empty west wing will now accommodate Cui Yingyu on one side, and Dr. Song and Er Wazi on the other side.
Over the next three days, the territory began to accumulate rapidly. Public bathrooms, blacksmith shops, quarries, and grocery stores had all been built, and they added four more residential courtyards.
Logging and quarrying areas have also begun to operate, with ten farmers setting up daily to produce 100 units of wood and 50 units of stone.
He did not know why, but he must have spent too much luck for the first few days, as he had only received three special talents from 45 new immigrants during these three days.
Junior mason Zheng Shangun was a middle-aged man, whom Ouyang Shuo appointed as the mine manager. Merchant Li Fugui, a fat old man, was assigned to the grocery store.
The biggest surprise was the senior shipbuilder, who was also the second highly skilled person in the region. He was called Zheng Dahai, thirty years old with dark, short and festering skin.
It was still the morning of the match when Ouyang Shuo came at the usual time. Opening the door to the yard is always fun. General Shi was practicing his spear as usual. Like his officers, martial arts were practiced to the point of being instinctive, not practicing making his entire body itch.
Song is on the page on the other hand, doing kung fu. In the corner of the courtyard, Er Wazi was playing with Blackfang while feeding him.
Ever since receiving the iron sword three days ago, he had also joined the ranks of martial arts in the morning. General Shi would gladly give him guidance, or the path to mastery would take many detours.
The sword was the most profound military weapon, and the most difficult to learn. The training begins with a broad sword. It was a one-handed, straight and pointed flat sword, practiced for 3-5 hours a day, until you could accurately tell the difference in weight of the insects that landed on the blade.
Ouyang Shuo understood the reason for this practice: it was part of the way the game handled skills.
In Earth Online, the skills of the players are divided into system boot mode and free mode. Boot mode means the skill of a book. After reading it, you don't control it. When improving mediation skills, for example, the game will automatically display any improvements.
Free mode is something that is original to Earth Online, where players learn skills, and the contents of the book are printed in mind. Then, the players have to act according to the moves and practice tips in their mind, actually putting the practice time like martial arts in general.
So the players in the game practice, and through the spiritual connection of the system, the memory of this exercise is passed on to the reality of their body. Through repeated training, these exercises are strengthened into instincts. In this case, the player can in fact, with a little practice, wake up his body memory, and in the real world display a martial arts game.
Of course, the free mode option has prerequisites in that it only applies to certain skill books that are open to free mode. Through special skill books, Gaia, through the refinement of real martial arts, deduced the laws of power that defied reality.
In reality, the ancient Wu family, by contributing martial arts texts, had access to closed beta qualifiers and special gaming cabins. More importantly, with Gaia's remarkable computational abilities applied to the existing power of martial arts, combined with modern human medical research, Gaia's, they had formed a new and more complete martial arts proficiency science.
This ability is very difficult to practice due to the extremely rare internal energy requirements. Things like spears, in the end, were just a kind of physical memory. To truly master the sword, you need to practice it repeatedly in reality.
Practicing internal strength is completely different. You must move your spirit and body to produce internal power, and then control your qi while running it through your meridians.
Therefore, the players in the game practice internal strength. In reality, the game cabin has an intelligent system that stimulates the same, so your body also produces internal forces, and the nutrient delivery system accurately transports the energy needed for cultivation. It was not only more practical than real practice, but also more efficient and a perfect combination of ancient kung fu and modern technology.
In fact, it's also part of an interplanetary plan codenamed 'Hope'. After all, no one is currently aware of the condition of the planet Hope. Was it a primitive planet, did it evolve to a high level, or was there another civilization there? Everything is unknown. In this case, being able to improve people's physical abilities is a good choice.
The power of this scientific martial art is put in every corner of the game for players to explore. Beta players cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.
A year after liberation, after every living human has logged on, Gaia has announced a way to distinguish between right and wrong. The method is simple, all forces ending in 'Technics' or 'Manual' are right, and anything that ends in 'Methods' or 'laws' is wrong. There was only one exception, and that was that all the basic skills were correct, such as basic riding skills and spear skills, which Ouyang Shuo was currently learning.
In his past life, one of the Six Tyrants of Handan, Feng Qingyang, had become the representative of the ancient Wu family, and was relying on his own judgment towards martial arts, discovering Gaia's method, the, and how to judge which methods are right and wrong. .
Within a year, the Wu family secretly stockpiled a large number of secret manuals, and when Gaia announced the truth, it made them cry in their glasses. In this world, Ouyang Shuo would naturally take advantage of his knowledge.
Back in the courtyard, Ouyang Shuo started to conform to the basic spearmanship tips, practicing the big swings. He was ready to continue training, as he had yet to find the strength of martial arts to work with.
Because of his birth, he naturally wanted to spend the most time practicing the best skills. Because of this arrogance, he did not want to spend a lot of time practicing basic skills. In China, there is a set of classic internal strength manuals of the highest level, divided into three sets of strength. In the last five years, no one has gotten more than two.
In this world, Ouyang Shuo's goal was to unify these three skill sets, combined with the strongest internal power books, and make their fusion the strongest trump card.
After training with a large spear for an entire hour, Ouyang Shuo ended his morning training. Carrying a spear, he walked towards the living room. Every morning at 9 a.m., the county managers gathered there, a rule he had set the day before.
At this stage, only five people participated in the process there. General Shi, Trade Manager Cui Yingyu, Construction Manager Elder Dexian, Logging Manager Zhao Youfang, and Mine Manager Zheng Shanpao.
In addition, if there are additional issues, relevant personnel may be invited to attend. For example, today's problems were related to the construction of the shipyard, so Ouyang Shuo had told senior shipbuilder Zheng Dahai to attend today.
