Chapter 83: Transfer Order, Target: the Liaoxi Wuhuan
[Enlightenment Academy]
Type: Unique Building
Effect: Provides enlightenment and education for the populace within the city, activates hidden refugee attributes; has a chance to increase a general's initial three-dimensional talent attributes and raise the probability of skill comprehension.
Teacher: None (Vacant)
Description: A special academy capable of imparting wisdom and enlightenment, though it still lacks a highly respected teacher to guide its students.
[Boundary Stele]
Type: Unique Building
Effect: Condenses a city-protecting barrier to safeguard the territory (barrier strength is related to the territory's level; after the barrier is shattered, the Boundary Stele enters a cooldown state).
Cooldown Time: 72 hours.
Description: The survival of the territory is tied to a single stele. As long as the stele stands, the city stands; when the stele shatters, the city falls. (Note: Cannot be stored inside spatial items.)
Looking at the attributes of the two unique buildings, Xiao Wen could not help but reveal a smile.
These unique buildings with special properties were truly excellent.
With these two items, his territory's development should accelerate considerably.
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen's mind.
Immediately afterward, his gaze landed on the scroll beside them.
Profession Advancement Scroll?
It could even be used on already advanced professions?
Further increasing one's attribute level?
Xiao Wen raised an eyebrow in surprise.
After all, even in his previous life, he had never heard of such an item.
Of course, it was also possible that the Emperor-level players of his previous life had kept it hidden and never revealed its existence.
[Profession Advancement Scroll]
Type: Special Item
Effect: Further advances an advanced profession and has a chance to increase the user's three-dimensional talent attributes.
Description: A treasure passed down from ancient times, possessing mysterious effects unknown to others. Come and give it a try!
Xiao Wen looked at it with some surprise.
He wondered whether, after advancing his profession, he could fuse Liu Bei's general template and directly obtain the potential of a fifth-tier general.
Of course, it would only be potential.
What he didn't know was whether it would affect his advanced profession.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Wen ultimately decided to use the scroll.
Ding! Detected that player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World is attempting to activate a Profession Advancement Scroll. Open it?
Open!
After the notification sounded, brilliant golden light enveloped Xiao Wen's entire body.
At that moment, he felt as if all thirty-six thousand pores across his body had opened simultaneously. The power of his qi and blood surged through him like the endless currents of a mighty river crashing against the banks of his meridians.
Inside the game pod in the real world, Xiao Wen's body emitted a crystalline radiance. It seemed as though an invisible force was flowing through him, washing away the impurities within his body.
However, compared to the last time when large amounts of black impurities had been expelled, this time only a thin layer of sweat emerged. There were not many impurities left.
After a long while, the crystalline glow faded from his skin. At the doorway of the room, faint footsteps could be heard before gradually disappearing into the distance.
Within the game, another system notification sounded.
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World has completed profession advancement! Current profession: Dragon God General → Dragon Marshal!
Ding! Player has completed profession advancement. Initial three-dimensional talent attributes increased: 30 → 35.
The crisp notification rang out.
Xiao Wen's gaze fell upon his talent attributes.
An initial three-dimensional talent value of 35?
Not bad at all. He had finally stepped into the level of a fourth-tier general. Although he was still somewhat short of the maximum value of 40, once his territory completed its next advancement, it would basically no longer be a problem.
That was what Xiao Wen thought to himself.
Then his gaze shifted to Liu Bei's general attribute panel.
General: Unclaimed [Son of Heaven's Imperial Fate]
Grade: Legendary Famous General (Fifth Tier)
Level: ???
Three-Dimensional Talent Attributes: 50/50
Cultivation Method: Son of Heaven's Imperial Fate, Pure Yang Sword Art...
Skills: Destined One, Imperial Dragon's Fury, Winning People Through Virtue...
Description: The power of the Son of Heaven's Imperial Fate, bestowed from the heavens above, capable of helping a virtuous and capable individual accomplish the great task of unifying the Divine Province.
Note: Can only be absorbed when the player's level and attributes have both reached the peak of the fourth tier. Absorbing it prematurely carries the risk of exploding and dying.
After reading through it, even Xiao Wen rubbed his hands together and repeatedly exclaimed that he had struck it rich this time.
Such an incredible general template.
As expected of you, Big-Eared Liu!
The only thing that disappointed Xiao Wen slightly was that the template could only be absorbed after reaching the peak of the fourth tier.
Still, it wasn't a major issue.
At most, it would just require some additional time.
After all, his own general rank had already advanced to the level of a fourth-tier general, enough to deal with the upcoming storyline missions.
That was what Xiao Wen thought.
Over the following days, the players dispersed and returned to their respective territories, continuously working to strengthen themselves.
Xiao Wen himself enjoyed the leisure. He returned to his territory, arranged the construction of the two special buildings, and only then went back to Zhuo County to continue serving as its County Magistrate.
However, during the period Xiao Wen was resting, You Province could be described as turbulent and full of upheaval.
The source of it all was naturally the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, who was stirring the situation from afar.
Several days later, an official transfer order arrived in Xiao Wen's hands.
The general meaning was that Xiao Wen had rendered meritorious service during the campaign against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The current Son of Heaven believed him to be a talented and virtuous individual with the ability to command troops, and therefore ordered him to lead his own forces northward, rendezvous with Commandant Gongsun Zan, and suppress the Liaoxi Wuhuan rebellion.
Along with the transfer order came another letter, privately sent from Luoyang.
The sender was none other than Shen Que.
In the letter, Shen Que first congratulated Xiao Wen and reminded him not to forget old friends after becoming successful.
Afterward, he informed him of various pieces of insider news from the imperial court.
For example, there had been several personnel changes within You Province. The previous Grand Administrator and Governor of You Province had both been transferred away. The new Grand Administrator of You Province (Zhuo Commandery) had become Liu Qi.
Under this Grand Administrator Liu Qi served a Commandant named Gongsun Zan, a fierce general who had spent many years guarding the northern frontier of You Province and resisting the Wuhuan.
This time, the Son of Heaven's decision to have Xiao Wen rendezvous with Gongsun Zan was also due to Shen Que personally pulling strings and leveraging connections to secure this opportunity for him.
Furthermore, Shen Que urged Xiao Wen to seize the opportunity. As long as he could pacify the unrest in You Province, Shen Que would continue using his connections and have his friends at court recommend Xiao Wen, summoning him back to the capital to hold a high-ranking official position.
Lowering his gaze from the letter, Xiao Wen's expression became somewhat strange.
This letter...
Had arrived a little too conveniently.
The imperial decree arrived first, and about seven and a half minutes later, the letter showed up.
If the same people weren't responsible for delivering both, he wouldn't believe it.
Still...
This lord couldn't be bothered exposing you.
What truly caught Xiao Wen's attention was the content of the letter.
Gongsun Zan?
The White Horse Volunteers?
No! None of that was important!
What mattered was one particular person among the White Horse Volunteers.
The man whose courage filled every inch of his body—Zhao Zilong!
He wondered whether some other player had already recruited that fellow away.
