Chapter 883 - 835: Devil Training and the Complete Set of Lord Skills
Just how capable is Makar, Da Fei doesn’t really know, but Da Fei is definitely aware that he conducts special soldier training. Back in the day, Makar upgraded the ghost notes on the rookie shipwreck, plus all those jumping zombies he created in the cabin, and then the development of the giant slime monster with him, those are all undeniable truths.
In addition, it’s rare to catch him in a good mood willing to teach, Da Fei absolutely doesn’t want to miss this opportunity, if he’s going to learn, he wants to learn thoroughly.
So Da Fei showed off his master-level special soldier skills: "Teacher, as a student, during the Pool of Radiance campaign, I successfully comprehended the Special Forces Training skill, and then during the battles in hell, I successfully advanced it to the master level. I want to further promote this skill, please teach me!"
In front of players, Da Fei would absolutely hide his important military secrets. But in front of the main system NPCs, there’s no need for this, let alone in front of an NPC like Makar, who is immensely powerful, rumored to be able to blast back a Leviathan with one cannon. Da Fei has no need to hold back his current strength.
Makar stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "To achieve such greatness without anyone teaching you, it’s quite remarkable. So, how do you wish to further promote this skill?"
Wow ha ha ha, you really have it! And with such a calm demeanor, you obviously don’t value my achievements? Then it’s simply unreasonable if you don’t teach me a little skill!
Da Fei hurriedly said: "The biggest difficulty I’ve encountered is that the training efficiency of the troops is particularly low, I want to know if there’s a skill to further increase the success rate of training?"
Makar burst into laughter: "The question you asked is a challenge faced by special soldier instructors throughout the ages. All special soldier instructors either exhaust their intelligence or seek mentorship to solve this issue, so I can tell you clearly, there is!"
There really is such a thing! Da Fei was so excited he knelt on the spot: "Please, teacher, teach me!"
Makar shook his head and sighed: "Are you sure you want to learn? You’re my best student, I’m afraid you’ll get addicted and it will ruin you!"
My goodness! Damn, you are my biggest enemy, aren’t you? Even if you trick me to death, I admit it! Da Fei hurriedly said: "Teacher, I can even handle brainwashing skills, what other skill could I not handle?"
Makar shook his head and sighed: "Alright, just be sure to practice moderation!" With that, he waved his hand, and a white light flashed on Da Fei!
——System Prompt: Duke Makar has taught you the hidden skill of Special Forces Training "Devil Training"!
——Devil Training: The instructor increases the success rate of troop training at the cost of consuming personal experience points. The higher the rank of the troop, the more experience points the instructor consumes.
Da Fei’s jaw dropped in a mix of surprise and joy! My goodness, there really is such a skill! Devil Training, this is so devilish! However, as long as the success rate is improved, what does it matter if I lose some experience? I like it!
Da Fei hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, teacher!"
Makar smiled and said: "Alright, my meeting time has arrived, I hope that next time I see you, you’re prepared to take over the mining area!"
Da Fei quickly said: "Take care, teacher!"
Last time we agreed the precondition to take over the mining area was for me to level up to 50, but it seems he’s not in a rush, so I’m not in a rush either, let’s talk about it in half a year.
Now, finally, there’s nothing else to do, it’s high time to check Elifel’s training progress. If she’s still struggling, then it’s the perfect opportunity to try out my new skill.
Leaving the Duke Mansion, Da Fei once again arrives at the Saint Paul Knight Order. Seeing the row of professional skill tutors in the knight order, he suddenly remembers a small matter, which is to learn lord system skills! Uriel hinted before that in order to upgrade the Angel Army to the Ultimate Creation Angel Form, all lord system skills must be mastered. This "all" probably doesn’t include those hidden skills that can’t be bought from skill tutors.
In-game hero skills are divided into adventure system, combat system, magic system, and lord system four major categories. Initially, to study as a navigator, Da Fei almost completed the adventure combat system. Now with a bunch of skill points and rewarded skill books with nowhere to use them, it’s time for a comprehensive review.
Here are the lord system skill books available for purchase from the tutors:
——Equipping Troops: Can provide an extra equipment slot for troop units. Master level provides 5 equipment slots.
Sub-skills: Master of Army Robes, Master of Heavy Armor, Troop Weapon Mastery, etc., these slightly increase equipment attributes. This skill Da Fei has mentioned several times, it’s necessary to review.
——War Plunder. Da Fei has already learned this to Master Level; it synergizes with the plundering effect of Temple Knights, allowing additional material rewards after a battle. However, the rewarded materials cannot exceed the enemy’s original possessions. Sub-skills include Ruins Recovery.
——Battlefield Engineering: Troops can build temporary trenches, anti-horse barriers in the wild. Each skill level increases the durability and outdoor survival time of the fortifications. Da Fei’s Junxiang alt had witnessed this while accompanying Bloodrose Team on a campaign on Beastman territory. It has its unique advantages for pre-ambush troops.
——Construction Skill: Heroes can lead humanoid intelligent units to build structures. Troops without "production skills" can only build structures with durability limits not reaching standard architectural levels and at a much slower speed than normal production troops. Its sub-skills include fast construction, battlefield repair, etc.
This skill is actually the core of lord system skills, a compulsory course for players. Since "production skills" teams usually cannot be deployed and are zero-level troops, when players go out to build castles, they can only rely on this skill to strong-arm a rush job of shoddy construction, usually into building city walls.
However, as long as players survive the toughest initial stage of building a castle, once they endure until they can deploy zero-level troops, those troops can then be sent to repair durability. With Da Fei possessing the Vine Demon Army with production skills capable of being deployed, the effects are incomparable to what others can achieve.
——Recruitment Skill: Heroes can additionally recruit a small number of 1, 2, 3-level troops in towns. A skill that is better than nothing unless players can recruit special elite 3-level troops, which holds considerable value.
——Accounting Skill: Increases territory’s monthly income by up to 3%, with each skill level raising it by another 3%. Its sub-skills are "Farm Development," "Mine Development," "Orchard Development," "Fishery Development," "Market Development," etc., each further enhancing facility income and output.
For this skill to take effect, the lord or vice city lord possessing it must spend over 50% of their time stationed within the territory, an incredibly troublesome skill. It’s usually delegated to the vice hero city lord in charge of defending the city.
——Bargaining Skill: Haggling skill that reduces maximum purchase costs by 5% and increases maximum sales prices by 5%. Each skill level enhances the effect by 5%. Sub-skills include "Food Trade," "Textile Trade," "Luxury Trade," "Precious Metal Trade," "Luxury Trade," etc. No surprises here; it’s a must-learn for merchants.
...
In conclusion, these are the lord system skill books currently available for purchase from tutors. Da Fei now has 13 skill points remaining, with 18 reward skill books — mastering all of them is not a problem, but it’s unsure whether it’s necessary to learn all the sub-skills as well. If so, skill points really are not sufficient.
With a load of skill books, let’s hit the road.
As Da Fei walked past the Knight Master, he remembered something; didn’t he gain information about the Heavenly Destiny Knight when he returned from the Nether Sea and comprehended the God-level Luck Skill? Doesn’t this mean that it’s waiting for me to comprehend that profession?
And to comprehend this profession, I’ll most likely have to take on the knight profession, right? Even though I can’t hold a part-time profession now, couldn’t I write the insights and sell them somewhere for money?
Right, let’s go chat with the Knight Master and shoot the breeze!
