Chapter 20: Taking Stock of the Gains
They had won...
Those two words fell into Ma Chao's ears. Recalling the battle from before, a smile appeared on his face.
That battle had been so difficult, but in the end, they had still won!
"General, go rest for now. Once I finish taking stock of the spoils, there are some matters that will still require your presence," Xiao Wen said, looking at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao nodded, bowed, and then left.
Not long after Ma Chao had gone, a soldier delivered news that the Yellow Turban army had retreated.
He reported that the Yellow Turban soldiers had withdrawn very quickly and were extremely vigilant. His group had only dared to look from far away and had not dared approach for a closer look.
Xiao Wen nodded.
As long as he knew for certain that the Yellow Turban army had left, that was enough.
He let the soldier go rest. Immediately afterward, Xiao Wen returned to his Lord's Manor.
After a major battle, it was naturally time to take stock of the spoils.
The gains this time were quite good. He still had twenty sets of equipment left, along with Zhang Baiqi's Hand, his exclusive weapon, the Silver Python Spear, and some other rewards.
Of course, what Xiao Wen valued the most was naturally the Dragon Divine General class-change tome.
This was the token required to change class into a Dragon Divine General.
Holding the Dragon Divine General Tome in his hand, Xiao Wen heard a system notification sound in his mind the next second.
Ding! Detected that player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World is holding the Dragon Divine General Tome. Class-change conditions have been met. Class-change level requirement: Level 15 or above. Do you wish to change class?
Yes!
Xiao Wen chose yes without hesitation.
The next second, the Dragon Divine General Tome instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered Xiao Wen's body.
Immediately afterward, a newly born power erupted from within him, spreading through every cell in his body and activating his entire physique.
Faintly, it was even possible to see golden light emerging from Xiao Wen's pores, radiating a bright luster.
After roughly half a quarter of an hour, the golden light finally faded.
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for completing the Dragon Divine General class change. Your life essence has improved. Initial three-dimensional talent points: 10 → 20.
Ding! Player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World has successfully changed class into Dragon Divine General and obtained class-exclusive skills: Dragon King Break, Divine Dragon Stride, Dragon God's Wrath.
[Dragon King Break]
Type: Offensive Skill · Class-Exclusive Skill
Required Level: None
Effect: Consumes stamina to condense strength into a single point and gather it upon the weapon. When released in one strike, it erupts with 150% power.
[Divine Dragon Stride]
Type: Movement Skill · Class-Exclusive Skill
Required Level: None
Effect: Graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon. Wherever the body moves, it is like willow fluff dancing with the wind, leaving no trace for the enemy to follow.
[Dragon God's Wrath]

Required Level: None
Effect: Still as a mountain, moving like thunder. Strength condenses into one, gathering countless forces into a single body and pouring everything into one strike.
Three skill icons appeared before Xiao Wen.
After taking in the attributes and characteristics of the three skills, Xiao Wen's lips curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He had finally completed this initial class change.
That thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind.
His closed eyes opened, and a sharp light immediately surged within them.
He spread his five fingers, then clenched them together. Xiao Wen only felt that his strength seemed to have become even greater.
Although it was only an increase of 10 points in his three-dimensional talent points, judging from his current three-dimensional points, he had risen from being comparable to a first-tier Ordinary General to reaching the second-tier Elite General series.
This sort of level was basically only achieved when lord players reached the county-city stage and completed their initial transition period.
But now, Xiao Wen had already successfully reached it.
The improvement in his life level even made Xiao Wen's entire aura become longer, steadier, and more solid.
His gaze swept over his class skills. The next moment, Xiao Wen opened the building interface, selected the Barracks, and then saw a bright cursor appear in the special troop type column of the Barracks.
Special troop type, White Dragon Cavalry!
[White Dragon Cavalry/White Dragon Guards]
Troop Type: Dragon Divine General exclusive troop type
Forms: Foot Soldier Shield Guard: White Dragon Guards; Heavy Cavalry: White Dragon Cavalry
Effect: White Dragon Guards: Ground combat ability strengthened. Shield guard defensive ability greatly increased. Using stillness to control movement, using slowness to counter speed. Unmoving as a mountain.
White Dragon Cavalry: Dashing like startled thunder, gathering momentum for a single strike, charging through enemy lines with unmatched sharpness.
Troop Attributes: Berserk Slaughter, Strict Military Discipline, Last Stand
Troop Formation: Divine Dragon Descends upon the World (Not Comprehended)
Recruitment Count: 0/100 (Upper limit increases with territory level)
Recruitment Cost:
1. Troop Training Upgrade: Train elite soldiers and transform them into White Dragon Cavalry. Costs 100 taels of silver per person. 30 minutes per person.
2. Heavy-Gold Recruitment: Recruit elite soldiers as White Dragon Cavalry. Costs 50 ingots per person. 1 minute per person. Can be sped up.
After reading through the list of attributes, Xiao Wen's gaze landed on the final recruitment options.
Looking at the two recruitment methods, the corner of his mouth could not help twitching.
This recruitment method really was exactly the same as in his previous life!
The entire game was saturated with the smell of money.
If you did not pay, you had to grind!
He still remembered how, in his previous life, during the middle and later stages, when he wanted to recruit soldiers but suffered from a broken supply of ingots and had no choice but to slowly wait, it had truly been miserable.
Fortunately, this lord now had the Treasure Bowl!
Xiao Wen grinned lightly, his gaze falling upon the Treasure Bowl in his inventory.
Although at present, it could only produce 1 ingot per day.
Still, if this lord remembered correctly, that upheaval that would determine the fate of the entire Blue Star should be arriving soon, right?
Xiao Wen muttered to himself, then directly spent 5,000 ingots to recruit White Dragon Cavalry, but did not use any speed-up cards.
After recruiting the White Dragon Cavalry and replenishing his other soldiers, Xiao Wen closed the lord building interface. His gaze returned to the final two spoils in his inventory.
Zhang Baiqi's Hand!
Silver Python Spear!
[Zhang Baiqi's Hand]
Type: Special Mission Item
Effect: Triggers the fourth-tier general Zhang Baiqi recruitment mission.
Overview: The right arm Zhang Baiqi lost after underestimating his enemy while heavily wounded. It contains Zhang Baiqi's powerful strength. Return this arm to Zhang Baiqi and help him reattach it for a chance to obtain Zhang Baiqi's loyalty and recruit the fourth-tier general—Zhang Baiqi.
Note: Mission requires Zhang Baiqi favorability ≥ 0. Current player favorability: -50 (Deep Hatred). This mission cannot be accepted.
[Silver Python Spear]
Type: Exclusive Weapon
Wielding General: Zhang Baiqi
Grade: Earth-rank
Usage Requirement: Fourth-tier or fifth-tier general.
Effect: ???
Overview: Zhang Baiqi's exclusive weapon. Only in Zhang Baiqi's hands can it unleash its greatest power. It complements Zhang Baiqi's Hand. If the weapon is returned together with the arm, there is an extremely high probability of recruiting Zhang Baiqi.
As his gaze fell upon the information, the corner of Xiao Wen's mouth twitched. After reading it all, he inevitably felt a little regretful.
A fourth-tier general could only be looked at from afar, but not recruited.
In the end, there were gains and losses.
However, this thing was still a good item.
After that upheaval, there should be quite a few people willing to pay a heavy price for it, right?
