Chapter 38: Refreshed Stargazing


    However, at least in the eyes of Shi Hao and Zhang Yang, Wei Wentong had no chance. Therefore, Shi Hao readily took a hint. Shi Hao knew that Zhang Yang also wished to upgrade his vige to a town. Although the development speed of Tranquil Water Vige was not as explosive as Twin Dragons Vige, it was also moving steadily ahead. It was only a matter of time before Tranquil Water Vige was upgraded to a town. Therefore, Zhang Yang must n in advance. He couldnt just wait for Divine and Mighty Alliance to give him an Upgrade Soul. That, however, depended on connections and resources. It was not sure and hard to say!


    Shi Hao said generously: Not a problem. Twin Dragons Vige will strive to get two Upgrade Souls. At that time, Tranquil Water Vige will get one of them.


    Shi Haos words ensured his own benefit as well as gave Zhang Yang hope. As long as there were two Upgrade Souls, there was no harm to give one to Tranquil Water Vige. But if the information was wrong, or he failed to captured Wei Wentong, then he could do nothing about this matter. Twin Dragons Vige would use the only Upgrade Soul.


    Zhang Yang naturally understood the meaning of Shi Hao. It was normal, and he didnt mind. Moreover, he had great faith that Wei Wentong would be captured. Because he had met his close friend a few days ago, and that friend had carefully researched West River Dragon Pond in the past. To put it bluntly, his close friend was familiar with West River Dragon Pond like his own back garden. In fact, the method Zhang Yang told to Shi Hao to defeat Wei Wentong was determined after his discussion with his close friend. Zhang Yang was very confident in this method. Therefore, as far as Zhang Yang was concerned, Shi Haos words were equivalent to getting an Upgrade Soul.


    Zhang Yang said looking very happy: Its fine like that! This Zhang thanks you, Vige Chief Shi.


    Zhang Yang left Twin Dragons Vige, and Shi Hao returned to his busy schedule of training soldiers. The days passed like this. Feng Tianhao went to farm BOSSes and elite monsters every day by himself, whereas Pei Yuanqing and Li Yi took turns to lead soldiers to level up, and Wang Fu steadily handled various administration affairs of Twin Dragons Vige. The vitality of Twin Dragons Vige was getting more and more vigorous, which would make people jealous. At this point, perhaps, someone might recall that Stargazing tforms CD of 1 month had already expired and think why not use it quickly?


    This was a good question. Shi Hao also wanted to quickly use Stargazing tform. But he endured and didnt use it. He wanted to upgrade Stargazing tform to level 2 before using it. Now, Twin Dragons Vige had already reached level 3. ording to the setting of the system, every building within the vige could breakthrough 1 level per every 2 levels of the stronghold. Level 2 Star Gazing tform was definitely better than level 1 Stargazing tform. Therefore, Shi Hao had to wait. However, he didnt need to wait for a long time. Only after a few days, Shi Hao came to Stargazing tform by himself.


    Level 2 Stargazing tform is domineering! Level 2 Stargazing tform had two floors, and that transparent ball used to trigger the stargazing function was ced on the top floor. Shi Hao stood in front of that transparent ball with a smile. He then ced his hand on that transparent ball like before. In his heart, he thought that his bearing should be amazing. Just the level 1 Stargazing tform made him easily obtain Pei Yuanqing. This time, with level 2 Stargazing tform, Shi Hao estimated that even Zhuge Liang wouldnt be able to run away. <i>Heh heh</i>. [TN: Zhuge Liang  famous Chinese Strategist from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms]


    Unfortunately, Shi Hao was too optimistic. Do things like lucky win happen again and again? Of course not. If it happened, then it wouldnt be luck!


    F***! Its actually a D grade historical NPC. Is there a mistake? I want to return it. Shi Haos eyes turned dark. He had especially waited for a period of time and spent a lot of resources and manpower to upgrade Stargazing tform to level 2. Could it be that he had done so much for just a D grade historical NPC? Yes, it was a D grade.


    In fact, Shi Hao shouldntin. Did Shi Hao know what other peoples viges looked like now? There was nothing much to speak about. Just look at the third yer vige of Qin Zheng! Last time, when writing the post, Feng Tianhao had seen a post about it in passing.


    Qin Zhengs Xianyang Vige had barely reached level 2 after exhausting its resources (Twin Dragons Vige was also level 2 at that time).


    Moreover, Qin Zhengs side also had a historical NPC. <i>By the way, since we are already talking about this matter, we might as well exin a bit more about it in passing</i>.


    The only historical NPC under Qin Zhen at present was called Feng Xi, a C grade historical NPC, and his profession was fighter. Feng Xi was a military officer under Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. His strength was not outstanding, but he once served under the chiefmander Liu Bei to subjugate Wu State, and Feng Xi also had a contribution in the utter defeat of Wu State. However, in >, Feng Xis special skill was not bad. It was called Spear and Shield Unity.


    [Skill Name: Spear and Shield Unity]


    [Skill Grade: historical NPCs skill, no grade ssification]


    [Skill Type: Passive, no consumption]


    [Weapon Restriction: None]


    [Current Rank and Mastery: Level 2, 110/400]


    [Skill Effect: Increase ones block rate by 24% (the higher the percentage of block rate, the lower the technical requirement for a sessful block; 100% block rate, however, doesnt represent that you will block with a 100% sess rate! It just means that the difficulty of blocking would be very low; if the user is a klutz or a moron, he will not be able to block)]


    To sum up, Feng Xi was a very good tank. In order to recruit Feng Xi, Qin Zhen, who didnt know the hidden recruitment method, had to pay a big price. Feng Xi was obviously a fighter, but he liked to lead cavalrymen. Without cavalrymen, it was impossible to recruit Feng Xi with a regr recruitment method. But Qin Zhens Xianyang Vige still couldnt produce warhorses. And Central Flower Vige also had no yer vige like Twin Dragons Vige which sold warhorses. Therefore, rich and imposing Qin Zhen straightforwardly spent 20 million RMB to purchase two B grade Vige Building Orders. He then exchanged them for 100 level 1 warhorses, which didnt have any bonus stats, from Divine and Mighty Alliance. It truly hurt Qin Zhen to recruit Feng Xi. However, Qin Zhen also became the yer to get the third historical NPC after recruiting Feng Xi. Last time, the system announcement Shi Hao heard when he was on his way to Hibiscus County was triggered by Qin Zhen.


    The special item reward Qin Zhen obtained was called Blood Sweat Horse! Blood Sweat Horse and Shi Haos Cloud Mist Beast were both epic grade mounts.


    [Name: Blood Sweat Horse (Epic)]


    [Level: 1]


    [Agility: 10, Attack: 10]


    [Attached Skill: Extreme Dash, CD: 1 day, teleport 100 meters away]


    <i>Okay, let us return to the topic</i>.


    Thinking about it, even the domineering young master Qin Zhen, who was one of the worlds top wealthy people, had to spend the entire 20 million RMB to get hold of a C grade historical NPC. But Shi Hao, he could easily get a D grade historical NPC via the hidden recruitment method. Moreover, he had gotten a SS grade historical NPC, Pei Yuanqing, without any cost in the past. With such a cheap advantage, what else could hein about?


    One should know that insatiable greed was not a good thing. People should be content.
