Chapter 2, Lord System
As the only strategist in Lü Bu's hands, Chen Gong was not merely a strategist under Lü Bu; he managed internal affairs and the welfare of the people. Although he had been unconscious for three days, he was indeed more aware of the situation in Xia Pi than anyone else in the city. Not to mention a month, even if Cao Cao were to break into Xia Pi and stand before him now, he would not be the least bit surprised.
The life has been preserved, but if one wishes to get out of bed, at least a month is required. Hua Tuo sighed, for although he was devoted to the study of medicine, he was also aware of the current situation in Xia Pi. However, such matters were not for a physician to concern himself with. Without this month of rest and recuperation, it is likely that this life would be lost.
Achievement points can be used to train subordinates. With each training session, the overall quality of the subordinates can be enhanced. The resources required for training depend on the individual strength of the subordinates. Additionally, each training session can increase the loyalty of the subordinates to the host
This is the only path to survival that Lü Bu can think of at present. Trapped in a solitary city, there is only a dead end. Even if Cao Cao withdraws his troops, there will be no place for him to stand in Xuzhou. The rebellion of the Chen family and their son has had the most direct effect of causing the entire aristocracy of Xuzhou to turn against Lü Bu.
Lü Bu, upon hearing this, could not help but slightly furrow his brow: "How many achievement points are needed?"
Personal Skills: Mastery of Polearm (lv0), Mastery of Archery (lv1), Mastery of Horsemanship (lv0)
Lü Bu took a deep breath and left directly. 94 achievement points may not seem like a lot, but given the current situation, it is not easy to gather them all. It seems that he still needs to find a way on the battlefield
Oh? Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and asked, "What do you mean?"
The fall of Xiapi City is merely a matter of time. Even for Lü Bu himself, although he previously told Zhang Liao that he would hold out for a month, he knows deep down that it will not be easy to last for that month.
"Fengxian?" Chen Gong looked at Lü Bu with confusion, not understanding why he suddenly fell silent.
"How can I obtain achievement points?" Lü Bu frowned and said, based on the current progress, it will take two months to earn two thousand achievement points
Note: The limit for ordinary individuals in each attribute is 10 points. Once any attribute reaches the limit for ordinary individuals, it is automatically rated as one star.
Lü Bu fell silent upon hearing this, accepting the identity of his predecessor, and naturally also accepting the memories of his predecessor. He quietly sat by the bedside for a long time before finally smiling and saying: "One can only grow in adversity. There is no need for you to worry about Cao Cao's matters, as long as I am alive, I will not allow Cao Cao to step into the city even a single step. You just need to take good care of your injuries, and when you recover, I will need your help in strategizing and clearing the world."
Under the host's command, there is a renowned city, from which 1,000 achievement points and 100 prestige can be extracted each month. In addition, if the recognition of the host by the military and civilians reaches a certain standard, achievement points can also be obtained. The higher the recognition, the more achievement points are gained. Currently, the host can extract a total of 806 achievement points. Furthermore, for each achievement obtained by the host, corresponding achievement points will be awarded.
"Rest assured, I have a solution," Lü Bu said with a smile
Extraction successful, congratulations to the host for surpassing a prestige value of 100, unlocking the first monarch halo—Valiant Halo. The host's generals and soldiers will have their strength, constitution, and agility attributes randomly increased by one point each month. The host can randomly increase two points or designate one attribute to be increased by one point each month
To speak frankly, Lü Bu's various abilities are not lacking; if he were merely a general, he would indeed be worthy of the title of the best in the world. Even though his personal skills have been reset, given time, he could still look down upon all others. However, as a ruler, whether from the perspective of talent, skills, or personal attributes, he is severely unbalanced in his capabilities.
Cao Cao would hardly dare to accept him, or rather, in the face of Lü Bu's illustrious history of service, there are not many who possess the courage to take him in. Moreover, Lü Bu himself does not wish to be dependent on others, and in this regard, he can resonate with his predecessor.
Host Name: Lü Bu
"No need for formalities." Lü Bu nodded slightly and walked directly into the Chen residence
one month
On the desolate and chilly ancient road, Lü Bu silently advanced with two guards. Occasionally, fleeting figures could be seen in the houses on either side of the road.
Personal Talents: God of Halberds (when fighting with a halberd, the individual and the halberd can completely merge, enhancing power), God of Arrows (when using a bow and arrow, increases accuracy and range)
What is the use of achievement points and reputation?" Lü Bu frowned slightly. This system, which had inexplicably appeared in his mind, resembled a game panel. In his previous life, Lü Bu had managed a game company. Although the results were not ideal, he was still clear about the operation and planning of certain games. A game system cannot provide something that is completely useless.
What is the situation with the public platform?" After exchanging pleasantries, Lü Bu followed Hua Tuo into the inner room, where Chen Gong lay on the bed, his face as pale as paper, and at this moment, he had already fallen into a deep sleep
Ding~ A serious injury has been detected in the deployment. Would you like to consume achievement points for treatment?
Identity: A Fallen Lord (Trapped in a solitary city, with dwindling power and resources, the people's hearts yearning for change, the military's morale in disarray, facing imminent defeat. If no swift measures are taken to reverse the situation, the only fate awaiting the host is demise)
Listening to the voice coming from the system, Lü Bu's recently risen excitement was instantly doused as if splashed with a bucket of cold water. After guarding Xiangping for three days, he had only obtained 100 achievement points.
As for the advantages
Insufficient achievement points
"Fengxian?" A faint voice broke the silence in the room. Chen Gong, who did not know when he had awakened, looked at Lü Bu and slightly parted his lips.
Surrender
Upon hearing this, Lü Bu could not help but feel overjoyed. With the 100 achievement points he had previously obtained, he only needed to acquire an additional 94 achievement points to restore Chen Gong.
"If it were in the past, you would probably be at a loss right now." Chen Gong said with a smile, "You are much more mature now compared to before. It seems that the betrayal of Song Xian and the others has had a significant impact on you."
Reputation can activate auras. When the reputation reaches a certain level, it can trigger the lord's aura, enhancing the overall strength of the host's subordinates
"That is why I need you to help me," Lü Bu said with a smile, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly froze.
Personal Attributes: Strength (3 stars), Constitution (3 stars), Agility (4 stars), Spirit (9)
Hearing the sudden voice echoing in his mind, Lü Bu's face flashed with a hint of joy as he immediately affirmed: "Treat it at once"
Such great ambition. Upon hearing this, Chen Gong could not help but let out a sneer, yet a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. As a minister, one need not fear a lord's incompetence; the greatest fear is when a lord lacks ambition. In the past, Lü Bu was most deficient in this regard. Once he achieved a slight success, he became complacent and content with mediocrity, unaware that in this dog-eat-dog world, such a mindset as a regional lord is essentially a path to destruction. You may not wish to stir up trouble, but others do not think the same way.
"Public platform." Lü Bu, upon hearing this, quickly stepped forward, grasped Chen Gong's hand, and smiled, saying: "Take good care of your health, do not think of anything else. In one month's time, old Cao does not have the ability to breach my city!"
Chen Gong looked at the smile on Lü Bu's face, momentarily taken aback: "Fengxian, you have changed."
Current Status: Exhausted (When the host's status becomes exhausted, the abilities that can be exerted will be significantly reduced. It is recommended that the host rest as soon as possible; otherwise, prolonged exhaustion will permanently diminish the host's various abilities)
Loyalty? Lu Bu frowned, wondering if such a thing could be manipulated by human hands
Lord Skills: Insight (can identify the attributes and potential of any creature), Sovereign's Might (every move exudes the majesty of a sovereign, with a certain probability of intimidating opponents before battle, and possesses a certain allure for wild generals)
Lü Bu nodded slightly. Although Zhang Liao had mentioned it before, hearing Hua Tuo bring it up again at this moment still weighed heavily on his heart. Chen Gong was currently the only strategist he could rely on, and Lü Bu absolutely did not want to give him up unless it was absolutely necessary, nor could he allow anyone else to take him.
"See the General!" The two soldiers responsible for guarding the gate, upon seeing Lü Bu, quickly clasped their hands in salute.
In this era, the divergence of noble families is almost equivalent to the divergence of the people's hearts. To break this cage, not to mention the current Lü Bu, even Cao Cao, who faced chaos on the borders, suffered greatly. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise with the noble families. Lü Bu, renowned for his bravery and martial prowess, is known throughout the world, but what does that matter? In his previous rivalry with Cao Cao, he was almost toyed with by the Chen family, directly losing more than half of Xuzhou.
This character belongs to a historical figure, currently suffering from severe injuries, and requires 2000 achievement points for complete recovery
Chen Gong looked at Lü Bu, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, and then shook his head, saying: "Fengxian, do not deceive me; I am more aware of the situation in Xiapi than you are."
"Rest assured, Lord Wen." Hua Tuo said with a smile, nodding his head.
Achievement Points 100, Prestige 10, 1 Famous City under Command (Each Famous City can provide the host with 1,000 Achievement Points and 100 Prestige per month)
"Mr. Yuan, there is no need for excessive courtesy," Lü Bu smiled and said. The person before him was a special talent with the gift of a divine physician. For Lü Bu, who had nearly carved out his own realm through his own efforts, talent was a precious asset. Especially given Lü Bu's current situation, he was unwilling to part with any talent.
Breakthrough
Lü Bu immersed his mind into his consciousness, and a virtual panel appeared before him, visible only to him
My lord, we have arrived at the residence of Master Gongtai. The voice of the guard interrupted Lü Bu's contemplation, and before he knew it, he had already reached the outside of Chen Gong's residence
Strategic Talent: Flying General (Innately skilled in cavalry warfare, capable of commanding cavalry operations, able to keenly perceive the weaknesses of the enemy, when leading cavalry in battle, can increase the marching speed of cavalry by 50%)
Currently, Lü Bu has fewer than 10,000 troops, and counting himself, there are only three generals, with the sole strategist being Chen Gong. He is besieged in a solitary city without external support, while Cao Cao commands an army of 50,000 surrounding the city, backed by the entire Xuzhou, as well as Yanzhou and Yuzhou as strong rear support. Even within the city of Xiapi, the people are anxious and morale is low. In such an unequal situation, it is difficult to hold out for even ten days, let alone a month.
A strong medicinal aroma permeated the entire Chen residence. Lü Bu instructed two guards to wait outside and entered the Chen residence, where he saw an elderly man with graying hair preparing medicine. Upon seeing Lü Bu enter, the old man quickly clasped his hands and said, "This old man pays his respects to Lord Wen."
"Gongtai, take good care of your injuries, and I will come to see you in a couple of days!" Lü Bu took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Hua Tuo, "Mr. Yuanhua, I leave Gongtai in your hands."
