After going offline, Ouyang Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of the fact that it has only been two days in the past, Ouyang Shuo has gone offline repeatedly N times, he was really tormented.
After sending Bing'er to school, the first thing Ouyang Shuo did when he returned home was to have a good sleep. This sleep lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon before waking up.
Ouyang Shuo cooked some food in the kitchen. After filling his stomach, he went back to his room, turned on his optical brain, and logged into the game forum to check the latest developments in the game.
In the forum, the most lively discussion was naturally the just-concluded Zhuolu Battle. Because the players participating in the missions often go offline, gossip about the battle has never been interrupted. The events of the battle map, large and small, are basically exposed by the players in a timely manner.
In this battle of Zhuolu, Ouyang Shuo and the Shanhai League led by him stole the limelight. On the forum, they overwhelmingly supported Ouyang Shuo. The Shanhai League now seems to have become a symbol of China.
Of course, it is inevitable that the mysterious veil of Shanhai Town has also been revealed by the players one by one. Whether it is a mountain barbarian warrior in infantry armor or a heavy cavalry in bright light armor riding a green horse, they are all displayed in front of the world without reservation.
Especially the last battle between Shi Wansui and Chi You was shocking and weeping ghosts and gods. The news that Shanhai Town has a historical military general at the imperial level naturally spread like wildfire.
All of this put a lot of pressure on the lord players in the Lianzhou Basin. What's even more exasperating is that they still don't know where Shanhai Town is located in the Lianzhou Basin. Ambitious players, after learning more about the details of Shanhai Town, are already having trouble sleeping and eating.
In the past, no matter how famous Shanhai Town was, it was only a false name. This time is different, with the exposure of Shanhai Town's army, it is completely showing off its muscles.
The lords and players in the Lianzhou Basin couldn't help but shudder at the thought of such a giant hidden near their own territory.
On the forum, in addition to the voices supporting the Shanhai League, there are also many discordant voices.
Some people pointed out that Ouyang Shuo used his identity as a representative of a different person to frame other lord players. He was very treacherous and unworthy of being a leader in China. There are quite a few people who support this argument, and most of them are players who suffer on the battle map.
For this argument, Ouyang Shuo laughed it off.
This time, Di Chen didn't make fun of himself, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
Apart from the news about the battle of Zhuolu, what Ouyang Shuo was most concerned about was the promotion of the first-level county in the world. In the international section, Ouyang Shuo saw that players from other districts had already applied to the system to be promoted to a first-level county seat. However, so far no territory has passed the test and successfully advanced.
The earliest application was Mikasa Town in Japan. Keisuke Honda was eager for success, and without sufficient preparation, he acted recklessly in order to compete for the honor of the number one county in the world, and eventually fell short.
With the lessons learned from Sanli Town, other lords would not dare to act rashly. You must know that if you fail once, it basically means that you will completely withdraw from the competition for the number one county in the world.
Ouyang Shuo was certain in his heart that as long as no territory was successful, Shanhai Town still had a chance. He has already made up his mind that after going online today, he will apply to the system.
After quitting the forum, while there was still time, Ouyang Shuo began to practice the "Huangdi Neijing" in reality. The exercise in the game has already allowed him to get started, and he can practice in reality. In order to avoid being disturbed, Ouyang Shuo deliberately turned off his mobile phone, locked the bedroom door, and completely isolated himself from the outside world.
When I really started to practice, it was more difficult than Ouyang Shuo imagined.
The first step is to hold your breath and concentrate without distracting thoughts. In the game, the player exists in a form similar to a spiritual body, and it is easier to enter the state. But in reality, people have too many distracting thoughts and are more bound by the flesh. It is really not easy to be free of distractions.
Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo's xinxing and concentration have improved a lot recently. He tried to completely empty himself, not thinking about anything. After the heart has completely calmed down, I began to exercise according to the luck and heart method recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing". Ten minutes later, a trace of golden internal force slowly appeared in the dantian. Ouyang Shuo did not dare to neglect, and moved this trace of internal force along the meridian according to the meridian route. The fragile meridian was nourished by the internal force and became more tenacious. The inner strength becomes stronger.
After a week cycle, the initial trace of internal force has changed from being as thin as a hair strand to as thick as a nylon strand. Ouyang Shuo secretly cheered up, continued to work hard, and continued to run for three weeks. At this time, the meridians were already a little swollen, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to be greedy and immediately stopped practicing. Seeing the four strands of internal energy floating in his dantian, Ouyang Shuo felt very accomplished. No wonder some people say that practicing qigong can make people fascinated.
After reaping the rewards, Ouyang Shuo picked up the phone, turned it on and saw that it was already six o'clock in the evening. Oops, at this time, Bing'er and Xiaoyue should have gone home, and I haven't prepared dinner yet.
Ouyang Shuo pushed open the door and saw Bing'er was watching cartoons in the living room, while Xiaoyue was busy in the kitchen.
"Brother, you are at home. Elder sister Xiaoyue called you just now, saying that your phone is turned off." Bing'er was very surprised when she saw Ouyang Shuo walking out of the room.
Ouyang Shuo walked to the side of the sofa, pinched the little girl's face, and said, "Brother overslept."
"Oh." Bing'er didn't care, and continued to watch her cartoon.
Ouyang Shuo got up, walked into the kitchen, saw that Sun Xiaoyue was busy, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyue, I overslept this afternoon."
Sun Xiaoyue didn't turn her head, and said, "It's okay. I know, you players who participated in the battle map, the day and night have been upside down for the past two days, and you must catch up on sleep today. But I didn't expect that you can sleep so much. It's been a whole day."
Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly, he couldn't tell her that he was practicing.
While eating, Ouyang Shuo took a rare look at Sun Xiaoyue's game progress, "Xiaoyue, how are you doing in the game, how long will it take before you can graduate from Wangcheng School of Architecture?"
"Soon, I can graduate in a week at most." Sun Xiaoyue said confidently.
"So fast?" Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised.
"That's necessary. Moreover, I have made many friends in Dali. They, like me, don't like to fight and kill. They all choose life professions."
Ouyang Shuo nodded, it seems that Xiaoyue really found her own fun in the game. After dinner, Ouyang Shuo watched TV with Binger for a while, then went back to his room and logged in the game.
After going online, Ouyang Shuo first anonymously sent 200 gold coins to Xiaoyue, so as not to forget it when the time comes. Now it is completely different from three months ago, Shanhai Town has sufficient funds, so Ouyang Shuo sent some more gold coins. It just so happens that Xiaoyue also said that she has made a lot of new friends, and it is always right to bring more gold coins with her.
Back in the office, Ouyang Shuo ordered the clerk, Bai Nanpu, to notify the four directors and all battalion officers to hold a territorial military and political meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Ouyang Shuo got up and came to the conference hall, thinking about the application for the promotion of the territory in his mind.
A flash of white light flashed, and in the middle of the meeting hall, a golden stone tablet slowly rose from the ground. He pressed his right hand on the front of the stele, and a system notification sounded.
"System prompt: Detect Shanhai Town's application for promotion..."
"Condition 1: The population reaches the population limit of 10,000, meeting the requirements!"
"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"
"Condition 3: The lord's title is at least the third-class earl, which meets the requirements!"
"Condition 4: The four indicators of politics, economy, culture and military must not be lower than 45 points, which meets the requirements!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi. All the application requirements for Shanhai Town have been met. Do you want to apply for promotion immediately?"
"Apply!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for successfully applying. Three days later, there will be a large-scale bandit attacking Shanhai Town. Please prepare in advance."
What Ouyang Shuo didn't know was that when he applied for promotion, Di Chen also applied to the system. It is still unknown who will win the game.
What's even more helpless is that Ouyang Shuo has fallen behind other lords due to the influence of the battle map in China.
In addition to Mikasa Town in Japan, which has already been determined to fail, Liberty Town in the United States and Bangalore Town in India will face the test of the system in these two days. As long as one of the two towns succeeds, Shanhai Town will completely lose the qualification to compete for the number one county in the world.
It's useless to think too much, what Ouyang Shuo can do now is to do his own thing well. In addition to praying for the failure of Liberty Town and Bangalore Town, it is more important to be prepared to meet the enemy. Otherwise, when these two towns failed, Shanhai Town followed suit, which would be ridiculous.
At the end of April, when subduing the Gale Tribe, Shanhai Town had a chance to apply for promotion. But Ouyang Shuo gave up in the end, because he was not prepared enough at that time. The trump card that Ouyang Shuo relies heavily on, the bed crossbow developed by the Bow and Crossbow Division, is only one, and he is worried.
By the beginning of May, 1,000 elite mountain barbarians had completed their reorganization. Then there was Operation Dawn, which wiped out the Tianlian tribe and captured the green clam horse. After Operation Dawn, Ouyang Shuo was already planning to apply for promotion, but at this time, the campaign mission came unexpectedly, completely disrupting his plans.
In the Battle of Zhuolu, Shanhai Town lost 300 elite troops. Originally, Ouyang Shuo planned to wait until the recruits were replenished before applying for promotion. However, the applications from Liberty Town and Bangalore Town once again disrupted Ouyang Shuo's deployment, forcing him to apply for promotion in advance.
In such haste, Ouyang Shuo himself was not fully sure that he would be able to advance successfully in one fell swoop.
