Rebirth of the Stars

v2 Chapter 168

Comparing the effects of "Link of Life" with the two passive effects obtained by Ning Yuan, on the surface, it can be said that Ning Yuan has suffered a lot. So why does Ning Yuan feel that he is taking advantage?

Before answering this question, let's ask another question.

Since the soul deed is so powerful, why do you rarely see it? As far as Ning Yuan's "personal experience" is concerned, the conclusion of the soul deed does not seem to have much difficulty. Why didn't I see similar news on the player forum?

Before Ning Yuan had digested the contract information, he felt that both the rituals and techniques for concluding the contract were too simple and even sloppy. But after digesting the soul deed information, Ning Yuan had to say that everything just seemed "simple".

Although the soul contract does not have clear requirements for both parties to the contract, it has two prerequisites. One is that the contracting parties must be of the opposite **** who are not related, that is, they must be men and women who are not related by blood; the second is the soul of the person who leads the soul contract. Power must reach the "Glass" level, and must be "Celadon" level or higher. Let's talk about the unique classification of soul power later, everyone only needs to know that the soul power of the so-called Qingli level is at least equivalent to the spiritual power of a cultivator who specializes in spells.

After reading the prerequisites, everyone knows that they want to conclude a soul contract, and one of the people who concludes the contract does not talk about strength, the soul power must be above the heavenly rank. And for a person's soul power to reach above the heavenly rank, then the lowest strength must basically reach the high-end of the earth rank, that is, the handsome rank and close to the extent of breaking the mirror. From this point, the possibility of the flood of "soul deeds" has been blocked.

Then when the "soul contract" is concluded, the person in charge must complete the extremely complex seal technique during the contract conclusion process. Although the seal technique can be completed in visualization, it must be accurate. If something goes wrong, the soul contract ritual will be automatically interrupted, and the contract can only be concluded after three months. Regardless of whether the contract was interrupted after the start of the contract due to an error in the seal or the contract was successfully concluded, the blood of the two parties will be affected by the force of the rules, so that the person who is leading the contract will be backlashed to a certain extent, and most of the consequences of backlash are dominant For the time being, within three months to a year, one-third or two-thirds of their soul strength will be completely lost, which means that the person who leads the soul contract will fall into a long-term weak state.

From this point of view, many people are actually unwilling to conclude a soul contract, because no one knows what will happen in a weak time. In the event of an attack, it is likely to put themselves and even the contracted people into a situation where they will not be restored.

Finally, although the effect of "soul deed" conclusion is very powerful, it is equivalent to the weakening of the immortality effect for the individuals of both parties to a certain extent, but it is only for individuals.

Although "Link of Life" shares "life", it also shares "death." The injury of the original single person has become two people injured at the same time due to the influence of the link. Although the injury has become half, the injury that originally only existed on one person has become double. It's okay to say in a completely safe environment, but if two people face each other at the same time in different places, the consequences will be terrible as long as you think about it.

Therefore, the "soul deed" is a "double-edged sword" that really hurts others and self. It is understandable that it is not popular in Nieno continent.

If you really want to maximize the effect of the "soul deed" and even invincible, you must meet various conditions.

The strength of the two parties in the contract should not be too different. At least one of the parties to the contract has a highly advanced regeneration talent, and one has a strong defense talent or skill, equipment, etc., and one of the two parties has been in a safe environment for a long time or both parties to the contract. Maintaining a high level of peer status, and the strong defense in the battle actively bears damage, and other conditions and factors can cooperate to bring the effect of the soul deed "link of life" into an almost invincible effect.

Since the "soul deeds" are quite tasteless, why did the sky puppet girl enter into a contract with Ning Yuan, and why does Ning Yuan feel that she has taken a big advantage?

Let’s not talk about why the Sky Puppet Girl and Ning Yuan conclude a soul contract. The reason may be simple or complicated. However, it can be judged from Qin Yirou’s words that at least in Qin Yirou’s eyes, it is necessary to conclude a soul contract with the Sky Puppet Girl. Certain qualifications, and she just admitted that Ning Yuan has such qualifications.

After Ning Yuan had completed the information on the soul deed, he also believed that he had taken a huge advantage, especially after the "link of life" was turned into two passive blessings because of the sky puppet girl.

As for why you say that? Please also let me sell it.

Ning Yuan saw that Qin Yirou seemed to be planning to go outside and quickly said, "Wait, I have something to ask."

Qin Yirou stopped, turned around to look at Ning Yuan, and asked indifferently: "What's the matter?"

"That," Ning Yuan tightened his body uncomfortably in Qin Yirou's indifferent eyes, raised his left finger and pointed, "There are a lot of materials in it, some of which seem to be used for building a city. I want to ask yes. It doesn't need to be taken out."

"It's not necessary." Qin Yirou glanced at Ning Yuan's fingers indifferently, and faintly rejected Ning Yuan's ideas, and said casually, "The building materials in there are basically only used after the city develops to the city level. The things are special auxiliary materials."

"Others have to wait for you to recruit relevant talents above the senior level before you can use them, so in addition to the money in there, you should save the dust first."

When he was about to turn around and leave again, Ning Yuan once again bit his scalp to stop him: "Wait, I have something else I want to ask?"

Qin Yirou raised her eyebrows slightly, her indifferent gaze shot at Ning Yuan's somewhat embarrassed face with a sharp aura, her gaze flickered slightly, she retracted her gaze and walked back to the seat again.

"Let's talk." Qin Yirou said in an indifferent voice without any emotion.

Ning Yuan swallowed a little and said, "I want to ask, what should be done in a monster siege after a month? Can the guard puppets survive the siege by the monster?"

"Monster beast attacking the city?" Qin Yirou said in an indifferent tone with some doubts, "Why do you worry about the monster beast attacking the city if you haven't upgraded to the city level?"

"Upgrading to the city level?!" Ning Yuan was taken aback for a moment. After a sharp turn of his thoughts, he quickly reacted, "You will not encounter monsters attacking the city before the city level?"

"Natural." Qin Yirou said indifferently, "Neither villages nor towns have any influence on monsters. Only when they are upgraded to the city level can a city-state truly have the ability to threaten the safety of surrounding monsters, and they will come. The siege is intended to kill this threat. As long as it fails once, the monster will not attack the city again except during the period of the beast tide. Because that would not be worth the loss for the monster beast."

"Although monsters cannot communicate, they are not without wisdom. They also have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"In other words, is the monster siege specifically aimed at the threshold of the player lord?" Ning Yuan lowered his head and thought, "That's right, compared to the aborigines, players really have more ways and opportunities to get the heart of the city, and it's not easy. less."

"Regulations specifically for you?" Qin Yirou raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a certain assertive tone indifferently, "Then the intensity of the monster's siege will definitely not exceed your ability to withstand it."

"I think so too." Ning Yuan nodded, raised his hand and knocked his eyebrows. "A month's time should be just to upgrade the village to a town in terms of the player's normal progress. The Chosen Circle has at least 50 people a day. At most, there are a hundred people. In addition to the refugees outside and the prisoners after the suppression, the population is not a problem for the players in the early stage. The key is some necessary construction facilities and the towers and walls that must be built to upgrade the town."

"From the perspective of the upgrade rules given by the urban knot, the village must have shops, restaurants, workshops, schools and other supporting facilities that meet the needs of residents when upgrading from a village to a town. In addition, there are also city walls and walls that can basically resist the enemy. The tower then requires source coins and some energy-containing materials to sacrifice to increase the city range delineated by the city’s knot. From the player’s point of view, a month’s time for a village to become a town is almost exactly the same."

Ning Yuan thought for a while, looked at Qin Yirou and said, “As long as the city location chosen by the player is not in some particularly dangerous territory, with the help of the guard troops sent by the higher-level alliance, it is indeed true that you want to overcome the weak monster siege. It's not difficult, but we don't have external conditions here. The factors of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi" and the urban characteristics of "Yuanmeng" limit the population growth. In addition, we don't have a superior alliance, so there is no foreign aid. Under such circumstances, to be honest, I don't have much assurance that the monster beast can attack the city, even if the intensity of the monster beast is not high."

"The safety zone set at the beginning was five thousand miles west of the precipice of the East Fulong Mountains, including Longfan Lake and Xiling. It is enough for a city to be safely upgraded to the city level and can be repelled at a very small cost. The city-level monster attacking the city." Qin Yirou clearly understood what Ning Yuan meant, and said lightly.

"However, although I considered that there is no conventional migrant population in the Longzang Land, considering the number of non-inhabitants in the tribes in the west, I did not take the population into consideration too much. I would not even think of building a city here. The characteristics of the city will naturally bring about the effect of population suppression. After all, when we come to build a city, we will definitely bring enough population to upgrade the city to the city level in a short period of time to have a stable foothold."

"But everything is different now." Ning Yuan said in a mouthful.

"Not bad." Qin Yirou said lightly in an inexplicable tone, "everything is different."

"The Qin Alliance has disappeared in the long river of history, and you have gained the legacy of the Qin Alliance. The population problem that was not a problem has now become the biggest problem in your city."

Ning Yuan nodded.

"Don't open up the city selection before the monsters attack the city." Qin Yirou suddenly suggested.

"Why?" Ning Yuan frowned and asked incomprehensibly, "Yuanmeng now lacks population most. Moreover, cities cannot be upgraded without population, and cities cannot be blessed if they cannot be upgraded. Without a certain number of combatants and cities, Blessing, Yuanmeng is impossible to survive the monster siege, right?"

"Normally, it is true." Qin Yirou nodded, "Even if the Four Sect Array has suppressed the danger of monster beasts to a minimum, the group of monster beasts still has a devastating destructive power for towns with a shortage of population."

Then faintly added: "If we weren't there."

Ning Yuan's eyes shone slightly upon hearing this.

"Can the guard puppet block it?"

"What is the scale of the monster's siege?" Qin Yirou did not answer, but instead asked.

Ning Yuan recalled the data on the forum and said: "All monsters in a radius of a hundred miles around the city are not limited to their types. They are mainly local monsters of ordinary strength, with the strongest monster being the leader, and the population exceeds a thousand. There will be elites and bosses in monsters."

"The duration of the siege?"

"Three days." Ning Yuan replied.

"Can't stop it," Qin Yirou said lightly.

"Can't stop it?!" Ning Yuan said in surprise, "Then you..."

Before Ning Yuan's words fell, Qin Yirou said lightly in the second half of her sentence: "Only the words of guarding the puppet."

"Uh." Ning Yuan was taken aback, and he didn't know what to say.

Qin Yirou glanced at Ning Yuan indifferently, and said, "What do you think you want to defend an entire city with 30 guard puppets?"

"I..." Ning Yuan choked again.

indeed. No matter what kind of design scheme Tuyan gives, it must be a design scheme covering the entire city. Although Ning Yuan did not maximize the scope of the village, it was by no means all 30 guarding puppets could defend it. Unless these puppets can fly. Or when the monster attacked the city, Ning Yuan gave up other facilities and directly concentrated the defense force on the most important sacrificial ancestral hall.

But in this case, Ning Yuan might as well push all the village construction activities after the monsters attacked the city. Obviously, Ning Yuan was not willing to do this.

Qin Yirou looked at Ning Yuan with a somewhat unwilling look, and said lightly: "The population problem can be slowed down first. After all, this place is special. Although there are rules and restrictions, if the residents encounter monsters attacking the city before the residents have fully returned to their hearts, even if they join the household registration. At least half of the people will choose to leave the contract, and the majority of the civilians in the other half of the population will die as a result of this monster attack. And neither population fleeing nor depletion is a good thing for a city. Especially Newly built city."

Seeing Ning Yuan's expression of listening, Qin Yirou continued: "This is the land of the Dragon Hidden, a treasure that all forces want to station in. After the city residents defect, the news here will spread immediately, which is very important for you. unfavorable."

"But as long as the selection is opened, the news here will inevitably spread, right?" Ning Yuan asked.

"No. You don't understand." Qin Yirou sorted out and thought, "After a city-state citizen is naturalized in a city-state, it takes at least one year to leave the city-state, and it takes at least one year to join another city-state after leaving the city-state automatically. Time. In other words, the news here will not circulate within one to two years under normal circumstances."

"In one to two years, with the properties here, as long as you don't mess around, it will be enough to hold the people's hearts firmly." Qin Yirou continued, "If there is no monster attacking the city in the first month, or the monster will be attacked. The time for beasts to attack the city is postponed for three months. I have no objection to opening Tianxuan to increase the population. After all, it is easier for the city residents to build a home together. But the time is too tight. Instead of sacrificing the Tianxuan population in vain, the news is advanced. Released and lowered the foundation of the city-state's popular support, then it is better to be sure to survive the monster siege before opening the heavenly selection."

Ning Yuan thought about Qin Yirou's words, and brought out what he didn't understand.

"You just said that the depletion of the population will reduce the basic public sentiment of the city? What is this setting? Is there any damage to the contract? Will the city residents automatically send back to the outside world after the breach of contract?

"What do you think the rule of mind is based on?" Qin Yirou asked rhetorically.

"Naturally is the rule." Ning Yuan replied without even thinking about it.

After speaking, he was taken aback.

"Notice it?" Qin Yirou stared at Ning Yuan and said faintly, "The rules accurately refer to the laws and laws between the heavens and the earth. All of these are objectively existing, and it is not because there is no heart that there is no rule. There is no rule. The heart can still build a city, and some invisible blessings will also exist after the city develops."

"Moreover, there are no restrictions on the setting of city knots, so there is much more freedom." Ning Yuan followed Qin Yirou's thoughts and thoughts, "but why are city-states built on the basis and core of city knots? A city with urban knots. How is it different from a self-built city?" Ning Yuan raised his eyes and asked Qin Yirou in confusion.

"Knowing what you call the'urban knot heart', why do we call it the'heart of rule' more?" Qin Yirou's eyes calmly stared in front of him, and the pupils in his eyes seemed to have no focus in a gentle tone. Said to himself, "Because it can concretize the rules of Tiandijia and the rules made by humans, and give it a strong binding force at the oath-level. It can speed up the development of a city, reduce the difficulty of management of a city, and improve it. The cohesion of the city and the sense of belonging of the city people give the city special abilities. It is the heart of the city where rules are gathered.

Raising his hand to adjust the green silk on the temples, Qin Yirou's indifferent eyes looked at Ning Yuan with a scrutinizing gaze: "Although the city established by the heart of rules has many restrictions, the area of ​​the city, the upper limit of the population, the strength of the cultivators, and even the city The choice of functional buildings, but I have to say that it allows many people who are not proficient or even ignorant of urban construction to know how to build and even operate a city through simple guidance, making the city a boost and cornerstone for many practitioners to practice. ."

"The visualization of the rules can make it easier for practitioners to understand the Tao, comprehend Tao, and allow people to formulate rules to play their due role more effectively. It also allows a city to take shape earlier and have corresponding strength, and then Naturally exert this power."

Qin Yirou paused, and once again raised the little finger of his right hand across the blue silk on the temple, glanced at the inexplicable distance with his calm and indifferent eyes. How long does it take for a city of the people to take shape?"

Ning Yuan shook his head slightly. He didn't even know what kind of tribe existed, let alone their urban development.

“It takes about five to ten years for a city in a tribe to be designed, constructed, and completed. Then the migration of the population will take at least two to three years or even longer. The integration of the migrated population and the initial governance will take at least five years. The process from a small city to a prosperous medium-sized city-state will take about fifty to one hundred years. During this period, various problems have continued and constant adjustments are needed."

"Although the city established by the heart of rules also needs to be constantly adjusted according to the situation, the journey from a village to a medium-sized city-state only takes five to ten years if the population source is stable and sufficient, resources are abundant, and quick success is achieved. And because of the constraints of the rules, the population Integration and governance are much simpler. As long as the city lord does not die, the city can naturally maintain considerable stability."

"You just asked what is the basic people's sentiment? This is the natural stability maintenance force is the basic people's sentiment." Qin Yirou said while looking at Ning Yuan.

"Is it a manifestation of the concreteness of the rules?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself suddenly, "Does the imperceptible things in reality express in an intuitive way? This is really a game-like feeling!" Low Ning Yuan, who was muttering to himself, suddenly thought of something, his brows narrowed slightly, and he secretly said in an undetectable voice: "No, there have been reports that space compression technology and the automation construction technology of smart dolls have made key breakthroughs. If you think about it, I am afraid that things like portable bases may become the norm in a hundred years. Perhaps many such devices already exist in the material warehouses of the refuge. And the city-state construction here is a preview to some extent?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Yuan temporarily let go of his thoughts and asked Qin Yirou: "Then what's the matter with the city people destroying the contract?"

"You know the purity of the heart of rules has changed, right?" Qin Yirou looked at Ning Yuan calmly.

Ning Yuan remembered the information displayed on the panel of the city knot heart, and nodded. There is indeed a purity setting.

"Although the city established by the heart of rules can restrain the behavior of the city citizens through the concrete vows of rules, it does not control the minds of the city people. The purity of the heart of rules is the spiritual feedback of the city people to the city and the city owner, and the negative Feedback from will defile the heart of rules and reduce the power of the heart of rules, and positive feedback will further enhance the power of the city. The resentment caused by the death of city residents is the power that can most pollute the heart of rules. The death of a large number of city residents will severely damage the rules. When the city people are completely disappointed with the city and the city owner, they can use the negative force in the heart of the rules to directly destroy the city people’s yoke of leaving the city. This is the breach of the contract. After the breach of the contract, the heart of the rules will default to the person who broke the contract. Never joined the city, and then directly teleported the original chosen residents back to the location where they were before stepping into the circle of the chosen heaven."

Ning Yuan's eyes flashed and he said to himself: "Is this a preventive setting to prevent the city owner from getting angry and angering to clean up the city people after they destroy the contract?"

After knowing the information he wanted to know, Ning Yuan thought for a while, and agreed to follow Qin Yirou's suggestion to open the Heavenly Choice after going through the monster siege.

However, Ning Yuan hadn't got a clear answer on how to survive the monster siege, so he asked Qin Yirou again.

"It's true that only thirty pseudo-ghost guarding puppets can't stop the all-round attack of the monster group, but if you add traps, formations and other methods, as well as breaking steel, you will be partially certain. If it can be in a month If some specific buildings are built inside, the confidence will be greater."

Qin Yirou thought for a while and looked at Ning Yuan straightforwardly: "But you are an unstable factor."

"Me?!" Ning Yuan raised his hand questioningly and nodded himself.

"The war between monsters and city-states is based on the laws of this world. As long as the city lord dies and reincarnates, the city-state will directly lose all blessing effects. At the same time, the city-state is directly judged as a failure."

Qin Yirou said with a faint disappointment in her tone: "You are too weak. You may be able to defeat one or two monsters, but as long as more than ten monsters besieged you, you will be in a situation where you will be in a state of unrest."

When Ning Yuan heard the words "You are too weak" again, his face still flushed unnaturally.

The strength of the cultivation base is reasonable to say that he is already very fast, but he is still too weak compared to the plural monster beasts.
