Chapter 97 The Empire's Cheating Path (1/2)

As the treasure chest opened, countless information flowed into Roger's mind.

At the same time, a mysterious force began to automatically transform his ocean of consciousness.

A dense, thorny thorn formed on the surface of the fantasy sea.

Looking at the sharp thorns reflecting the cold light, Roger felt relieved.

This is really a powerful skill!

[Mind Thorn Visualization: An advanced skill of mind closure, perfect protection of the secrets in the heart, any invasion of the mind system will be counterattacked exponentially. Mastery level: perfect, can resist ten times the strength of one's own mental power. ]

Now those secrets in my heart that cannot be told are all safe, right?

He knew that his other methods were useless, but his mental power was really not low.

After being identified by Xiao Qiao, he had completely surpassed the magician and reached the level of a legendary wizard.

And to defend against ten times the strength of his own mental power, wouldn't he be a little expert in keeping secrets except for the seven gods descending to the earth?

Mental power is difficult to improve in the first place. He thinks it is impossible for mortals to increase it to ten times the strength of a legendary wizard.

In this way, this Soul Thorn Visualization is really quite suitable for his reward, and the skill strength is also OK, which is worthy of the 100% guaranteed reward.

As he opened the treasure chest this time, the system interface automatically refreshed the entries, and the probability changed back to (10% guaranteed).

"It seems that this guaranteed entry will not be crossed out, which is a major benefit. Otherwise, if you wait for 90 days and find that it is nothing in the end, you will be so angry that you will quit the game? There will be no planners to do that kind of tricky operation, right?"

Roger guessed and began to look at the newly refreshed entries:

Gray "Luck" and "Physical Strength", silver "Sword" and "Support"

Roger thought about it and felt that this combination could not produce the guaranteed reward he needed.

He wanted to be a magician, not a warrior!

In this world, melee combat does the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of the wizard.

If you have no choice, don't leave.

He used the weekly refresh entry function.

Gray "Passive" and "Equipment", silver "Displacement", gold "Rare"

Roger blinked. Another gold?

Is it because of this system's high probability, or am I lucky?

But the system is still as cold as ever, ignoring his inquiries.

The probability of the treasure chest card pool is not announced, and the probability of the entry is not announced.

"If your garbage system is in our dynasty, it will be sued and removed from the shelves!"

Roger groaned, but unfortunately the system was completely unmoved and continued to play dead.

He really had no choice. The entry was refreshed only once a week, and there was no more opportunity to practice and summarize the rules.

He could only choose from these four entries first, and then sit in this week's treasure chest...

The gold "Rare" must be selected.

This is probably the same as the rarity in the game, which is a powerful entry to increase the strength of the reward.

Then he chose the gray "Passive".

He didn't want the equipment, because it would always fall and become obsolete.

And he could always get good equipment with money, and he knew some side quests that could get good equipment, so he would never lack equipment.

But skills are very troublesome. No matter how good the skill book is, you still have to use your brain to learn to master it, right?

At this time, the role of the subsystem is reflected, and you can master it directly.

Especially the passive skills accompany you for a lifetime, and you don’t have to release them yourself. Isn’t this a must for those who travel through time and space?

After selecting the new guaranteed entry, Roger continued to look at the notebook spread out in front of him.

Above is a mind map he spent an evening summarizing the changes in the world line that occurred when he traveled through time and space, and the different changes between the Qingteng Empire and the game:

"The Empire completely prohibits missionary work", "Pretend to be the Restoration Army", "The Tenth Volume of "Qingteng Empire History", "Aodu Bloody Night", "Sweeping the Orc Tribe"

"The Goddess of War and the God of Nature are at odds", "The High Priest Joestar dies", "The High Priest Old Joestar is captured alive"

"The Tianming Army is established in advance", "The Undead Disaster in Asiford City"

From Roger's perspective, all of the above events were passively participated in by himself, and he was even involved in the pitfall of the butterfly effect.

For example, when the Queen of Eternal Night was chatting with him, she quietly came up with a trick to pretend to be the Restoration Army, and then killed many birds with one stone, which made the Goddess of War unable to help but take action.

The Goddess of War's action led to changes in the relationship between the seven gods, and even the Tianming Army appeared in advance.

This led to changes in the world line, and the reference value of the plot mastered by his Eternal Master would be greatly reduced, and the time might be completely messed up.

And the further back, the greater the plot changes!

He, a poor "bystander", is now afraid that he has lost a ten-year stable development period.

The Queen of Eternal Night is a harmful spirit. She was impulsive once, twice, and three times, and his way of survival was more and more crooked by her...

Roger analyzed that the greater the butterfly effect caused by the Qingteng Empire, the higher the possibility that the gods would look at this world in advance.

But on the other hand, the improvement of the national strength of the Qingteng Empire would delay the pace of the gods' launch...

So this is a chaotic game that he can't figure out at all. The current intelligence really can't predict the reaction of the gods.

Moreover, the magnitude of the change in the world line is bound to increase.

Because Roger himself is also a powerful promoter of change, changing the Qingteng Empire to his ideal form!

"New Arcane", "Mokera", "State Farm", "Orc Kingdom"

This is after the bloody night in the imperial capital. Roger agreed with the Qingteng Empire and wanted to protect this country. He took the initiative to propose to the Queen of Eternal Night the path of national strength improvement.

The Eternal Night world is an endless Middle Ages. The church and feudal rulers rely on magic power that completely surpasses civilians to forcibly suppress all possibilities of change.

The lower the technical ability, the weaker the ability of civilians to resist risks, and the higher their dependence on gods and faith.

The more desperate humans are, the more urgent and sincere the voice of prayer will be.

When life is happy and fulfilling, it is too late to enjoy it. Who still cares about those gods?

So the gods cultivate mortal rulers to help them manage the lambs, but the most important power of faith comes from the people at the bottom.

This has to be said to be an ironic situation. The ruling class and shepherds who enjoy the greatest benefits are not necessarily pure in faith.

For example, old Joestar is completely a lust and profit hegemony.

So this world has been at war for tens of thousands of years, and there are countless epic legends that are worth singing and crying, but in fact it has been standing still and contributing faith to the gods for nothing.

Before the rise of the Queen of Eternal Night, this place was a ruin with nothing, only the fate written by God, and no mortal soul shining.

In the traditional feudal hegemony war, the Qingteng Empire, which has the Queen of Eternal Night and is fanatical about militarism, can be said to be invincible and is the ceiling of the feudal army's combat effectiveness.

But the gods are supermodels who can directly pierce the ceiling!

This kind of gap in strength cannot be eliminated by individual strong men.

The countless failures in the game fully prove that no matter how many magicians the empire has, it cannot defeat the gods on the front battlefield.

If you want to win, you must take another path.

So Roger thought of putting magicians in production positions, using their wisdom to promote a magic punk and bring about a change in productivity.

Popularize the magic combat power in the form of equipment to the entire army as much as possible.

If the quality is not enough, the quantity will make up for it.

The gods and angels are powerful because of the accumulation of a long time and occupying many planes. In the final analysis, it is still the feudal lords.

So if we can achieve a breakthrough in the system and suppress advanced ideas, there may be a glimmer of hope.

The success of Mo Ke La gave Roger great confidence that magic can really be used in production more cheaply.

The crop production in this world is no different from that on Earth. Magic can control temperature and humidity, and can also fix nitrogen directly from the air.

The magician is also smart enough. After analyzing the principle, he decomposed Mo Ke La into multiple strains, some of which improve crop metabolism, some increase soil fertility, and some directly strengthen seeds.

These crazy people who love research can poke a hole in the sky as long as they are given a gap.

These days, Roger has seen some achievements made by the Secret Law Society in other fields, and understands that the productivity of magic is a gold mountain that has not yet been developed.

In the past, magicians were too proud and the rulers didn't care.

The magician is noble and needs to be supported by the untouchables.

And the untouchables are just a kind of thing that can quickly produce a lot of things, and they can produce quickly without being taken care of!

Wasting the wizard's time to fill the stomachs of the untouchables, the emperor who dared to give such an incredible order would definitely be regarded as a paratrooper in this world.

If you have money to build armored knights and occupy the enemy's territory, won't there be new population replenishment?

This is the first time that the Qingteng Empire has completed the unification of the human race and is beginning to be unable to manage a country...

But if there is no Roger's promotion, the empire will not embark on the path of internal reform, but continue to expand outward, and will collapse sooner or later even if the gods do not take action.

Liberating thoughts may only take a moment, but behind it is the accumulation of countless time and countless blood and tears.

The Qingteng Empire has taken a big advantage of the earth. For many explorations that require tuition fees and detours, Roger directly gives the correct answers. Even if there is no specific technology, these shining thoughts are already shortcuts to cheating.

On the basis of adhering to the path of magic industrialization, Roger summarized his observations and thoughts in recent days, and made a more detailed five-year development plan for the development of the empire:

"Production factors", "High-end alchemy industry", "Basic guarantee for people's livelihood", "Financial capital", "Cultural competitiveness"

Each item has many detailed sub-items.

For example, under the production factors, there are "agriculture", "industry", "energy", "resources", and "technical talent training"

Agriculture can lead to more option branches.

Because he has seen what modern society looks like, he has an iron-fisted queen who suppresses the whole country by force, so he can put many bold ideas into practice.

After five years of industrialization to a certain extent, the planned economy will be launched and then concentrate on making a spectacular breakthrough. It is not impossible to really make Gundam, Titan starship, and the Internet on the magic side...

Many things that I talked about with Princess Tashika before can be added.

Maybe rabbits have farming factors in their bones. Roger found that he was not tired at all when planning these things!

After writing several pages, he remembered that he had not yet made a personal force growth route.

But considering this problem, without practicing, there are really not many options.

"Increase the chance of survival" "Wait for the blood mother to save"

Reluctantly remembering the most reliable policy, he memorized what he had summarized in his mind, and then lit a small flame between his fingers, burning all these papers to ashes...

These things can't be leaked. If someone knows about it, I'm afraid I'll be caught by the mad lich and roasted for brain juice.

The mind thorn visualization can defend against instant mind reading, but after the enemy is controlled, continuous torture can also cut down all the thorns.

Reluctantly lying back in the wax nest, under the care of the fire element, he soon fell into a satisfied sleep.

…

…

In the eastern part of the Qingteng Empire, the border fortress of the first province of Yaman.

After the twelfth attack was blocked, the skeletons all over the mountains slowly retreated.

The soldiers and strong men in the fortress, all regardless of their image, fell to the ground like paralysis, enjoying the life they saved after surviving the disaster.

In the valley of no matter where, the secret camp.

Xia Di Veronica's expression was solemn:

"Let the remnants of the undead army attract attention. We are ready to move. Everyone will act separately and meet in Tatu City."

Tatu City is a small city not far from the Secret City, famous for its agricultural products and beer.

Because it is located in the core hinterland of the empire, there are no high-value targets, there is no need to worry about security issues, and the defense force is limited.

The Tianming Army did the opposite and had a stronghold there for a long time.

"Yes, sir."

The core members of the Tianming Army immediately responded and took action separately.

They also understood that the Tianming Army's action this time could be said to be a complete failure, and none of the original goals were completed.

Lure the Queen of Eternal Night into ambush and cooperate with Nalinel to capture her, failed.

Relieve the pressure on the orc tribe, failed.

Use Eris demon worms to exile or injure the Queen of Eternal Night, failed.

The most outrageous thing is that they still failed to collect supplies with the help of the undead army!

The undead controlled by the Tianming Army are not real undead creatures.

Undead creatures, since they are living organisms, also have life essence in their bodies. It is a way to give up appearance and life characteristics and move towards endless life and power.

But the undead summoned by Xia Di are the shells of life essence extracted, driven by the magic power in the body, and are tools with limited duration and limited combat intensity.

Originally, she planned to take advantage of the fear of the undead by ordinary people, occupy towns and noble territories as much as possible, plunder more property and equipment, and accumulate strength for the next move of the Tianming Army.

However, the fence-sitter nobles who surrendered to the empire at the beginning were stimulated by something, and they showed a resolute fighting spirit one by one.

In addition, the governors sent by the empire were all absolutely loyal and experienced elites in the war of unification.

The lion led a group of lambs and actually exerted considerable combat power.

Teacher Tianming himself was in a weak state after being backlashed, and he didn't want to lose his strong men, so the situation here was stagnant.

Now the situation of the Tianming Army is quite delicate, surrounded by the empire's territory on all sides, with a group of increasingly weak undead.

With only a thousand people, no matter how high their personal combat power is, they will suffer heavy losses if they want to succeed, and then they will be unable to fight again.

Therefore, retreat has become the only option.

The backbone of the Tianming Army dispersed and left overnight to preserve their manpower.

So after the Queen of Eternal Night got Roger's intelligence, the strategy of letting the surrounding areas hold on became a free-profit plan to win without fighting and directly solve the troubles of the Tianming Army.

For a time, the surrounding and internal areas of the empire entered a relatively stable state.

But Xia Di would never lie dormant. The two-month countdown was still hanging over her head. She ventured into the city of Tatu near Aodu with only one goal...

Capture Roger Charles alive, the prey that Nalinel specifically asked for!
