Chapter 4, The Magical Functions of the Golden Finger

The transformation of troops is quite simple. Li Qing gathered twenty adult men of white name quality, lined them up, walked past them with his hands behind his back, and said loudly:

It is truly amazing

Instantly acquire more combat skills and experience, possessing strength that surpasses that of a novice

Advanced Skill: Cleaving

Li Qing took a step back, his expression unchanged as he watched the light cocoon slowly transform

Li Qing suddenly thought about entering the War Lord Academy in half a month. By then, in addition to encountering extraordinary powers, he would also need to study various extraordinary disciplines, such as alchemy, engineering, runes, mutation studies, bloodline studies, mechanics, forging, and other subjects, all of which would be applicable.

However, resources are currently insufficient; at the very least, the wooden walls surrounding the divine realm have not yet been constructed, and the army has not yet been organized

If imperial infantry can survive multiple battles and accumulate sufficient combat experience, they can be promoted to the second-tier unit, the level 25 imperial veteran infantry, possessing even greater strength

Decomposition can quickly process various materials, directly extracting the purest substances.

Generally speaking, newly established divine realms or impoverished warlord apprentices do not receive salaries. For instance, Li Qing currently has little money and does not plan to provide salaries; instead, he will only improve their food standards

At this time, the divine realm will be unfolded, utilizing the civilians within the divine realm to swiftly extract fixed resources, or employing the defenses of the divine realm along with direct personnel and material replenishment, using the divine realm as a base to gradually defeat the monster lords

He is now preparing to experiment with several basic capabilities of this treasure, first to clearly understand its specific effects, and then to decide how to utilize it

After approximately ten seconds, the brilliance of the light cocoon gradually diminishes from its peak intensity to a faint glow, until it becomes transparent, revealing a ... ...

Saved the effort of reshaping

New recruits of the Empire accumulate combat experience through extensive battles, allowing them to be promoted to level 15 as official infantry of the Empire, holding the first rank.

Although their salaries are of little use now, once the Divine Realm expands and becomes akin to a small world, with a population of several hundred thousand people, a complete society will form. At that time, there will be an economic system within the Divine Realm, and these salaries will become useful.

These civilians are all affiliated with the Divine Domain's vassal tribes, belonging to the private property of the warlord. There are no specific conditions required for recruitment; similarly, there is no salary associated with their service, and in the event of death in battle, no compensation is provided. They only need to prepare food, housing, and other consumables.

Chop: Charge for 1 second to deal 100% additional damage to the target in front, with a cooldown time of 30 seconds

Basic Skills: One-Handed LV1, Running LV1, Archery LV1

What a magical treasure!

He can confirm that this information was not present when he accidentally entered the divine realm previously

For example, some damaged weapons can be dismantled to remove impurities, resulting in an extremely pure iron ingot. If some necessary elements are added, it can be directly synthesized into a refined steel ingot

This luminous sphere is a manifestation of the golden finger, containing an independent space with a diameter of approximately 100 meters

He did not dwell on this point, quickly receiving the information, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face, as well as... ... delight

After the promotion was completed, Li Qing turned around with satisfaction, gave a brief admonition, and then ordered that twenty soldiers be divided into two groups: one group to guard the central core tower of the divine realm, while the other group patrolled around the divine realm.

Level: 5

The stones in the resource pack are all standard one meter in length, width, and height, with smooth surfaces. Four pieces can be assembled to form a bed for temporary use, and with two additional pieces, a table can be constructed, thus establishing a temporary lord's residence.

It is truly very poor

Of course, if you feel guilty about it, it is acceptable to provide a small salary and compensation for the distress.

Li Qing pinched his chin, estimating that the 250,000 cash on hand would not last long. After entering the War Academy, he needed to find a way to make money quickly.

The resources in hand are too scarce, and there is nothing operational in the territory for the time being. Li Qing ordered two infantry soldiers to guard the entrance, then sat down heavily on the cold stone bed. With a flip of his right hand, a whirlpool appeared in his palm, and a sphere of light floated up and down within the whirlpool

It is truly marvelous

To put it in simple terms, the divine realm is akin to a city that can be placed within reality

However, it is not a big problem, as this thing is currently incomplete

Alternatively, it is necessary to formally launch an attack on a monster lord, which requires a stable logistics base

The more points of fusion there are, the greater the amplification.

At this moment, two points of light accumulated in this space, drifting aimlessly within the empty expanse. However, Li Qing did not collect them, but instead focused his consciousness inward, carefully experiencing the interior of the space

The efficacy of this device is quite simple; it can decompose, enhance, and synthesize any substance from its very source

This is good

Li Qing pinched his chin, and with a thought, a layer of distorted flames suddenly appeared on the surface of two wooden stakes. In the next moment, a tangible wave swept through, and the two wooden stakes immediately shattered into two clouds of light mist

These light points can be collected and integrated into living beings or objects, directly enhancing their essence

Now that there is free time, Li Qing should thoroughly study this golden finger, as it is fundamentally the basis for his future livelihood and success.

In general, warlords do not take the risk of unleashing the divine realm, especially those warlord apprentices whose strength is still insufficient. It is important to understand that once the core of the divine realm is shattered, the divine realm will collapse immediately

He then walked up to the horizontally placed wooden pillars, extended his right hand, and a swirling mass appeared in his palm, rapidly expanding to a diameter of one meter. A powerful force of attraction emanated from it, leading to a scene that astonished Li Qing.

Li Qing had a sudden inspiration, controlling the shape of the light mist during its formation to change from the original round log to a square piece of wood

Without discussing distant matters, just shortly after entering the War Academy, during the field training course, if a large amount of resources is discovered in a certain fragment of the plane, should one take it or not

Subsequently, all ten wooden stakes will be gradually collected, and then ... ...

As for reinforcement, it is related to the light points within the space

That is not correct; it serves not only this purpose.

Some morally deficient or impoverished warlord apprentices, or heroes without divine domains, may offer less in terms of tribute or may not provide any at all

It is somewhat lacking

Level: 5

The most basic imperial unit is the Level 5 Imperial Recruit. By utilizing the promotion rune to digitize their physical data, they will instantly acquire a wealth of combat techniques from the promotion rune, mastering a series of skills exclusive to professional soldiers

Advanced Skill: Charged Arrow

My lord, I need to train a group of soldiers to protect your families. Once you become soldiers, you will no longer need to work and will have ample food. Are you willing to do so?

The light vanished, and it turned out that the farmer dressed in linen had disappeared without a trace. In his place stood a warrior clad in leather armor and a leather cap, holding a round wooden shield in his left hand and gripping a one-handed sword in his right hand, his gaze appearing sharper.

Then, the promotion of ten new imperial archer recruits began again, which also took ten minutes

Basic Skills: One-Handed LV1, Running LV1, Shield LV1

However, these are matters for the future; we will take our time. For now, let us first utilize the resources at hand.

The moment Li Qing's consciousness entered this space, a piece of information regarding the function of this space naturally emerged in his mind

The anxious commoners, upon hearing Li Qing's words, all nodded with expressions of joy.

Alternatively, it is possible to forcibly combine two identical or different items into a single entity

This is a decomposition function

Imperial Newbie Archer (Common): A universal ranged unit of the human faction, representing the most basic ranged force on the battlefield

Although he did not know the origin of this object, Li Qing could sense that it was incomplete and seemed to be damaged. If it could be repaired, perhaps it could gather more points of light

The promotion runes come with weapon equipment. In the future, as sufficient combat experience is accumulated for promotion, the weapons will also be updated and upgraded accordingly.

The contours of the humanoid light cocoon at the edges and corners gradually deform, and its shape is slowly enlarging

However, although no additional configuration is required, if the weapons and equipment are damaged in battle, it is still necessary for the lord to have them repaired by a blacksmith. Therefore, it is quite essential to have a group of professional blacksmiths equipped within the divine realm

Promotion does not require spending money; it can be directly converted with promotion runes. The main concern is the high maintenance cost for soldiers

Imperial New Recruits (Standard): Common melee infantry of the human faction, serving as the most reliable backbone on the battlefield

The success rate of synthesis is one hundred percent, essentially eliminating the risk of failure

At this point, the foundation of the divine realm has been established, and the next step is to acquire more resources to develop and strengthen the divine realm

Then, with another thought, two masses of light mist merged under the control of an invisible force, reshaping into a...

How is this thing used

The new recruit archer is similarly equipped with leather armor and a leather cap, but lacks a shield. They possess only a short bow, two quivers of arrows, and a one-handed sword

It is only 2 o'clock now, and there is too little light. Li Qing plans to wait until there is a bit more accumulation before using it

In addition to the insufficient number of qualified adult men for promotion, there is also the issue of insufficient funding from wwwhetushu.com

However, he has not yet learned the extraordinary powers, and he is unable to sense what benefits the several-fold increase in soul strength and willpower will bring him.

Charged Arrow: Charge for 1 to 3 seconds, dealing 100% to 200% additional damage to a single target, with a cooldown of 30 seconds

It is worth mentioning that the promotion runes come with the necessary weapons and equipment for the units, and after promotion, the weapons and equipment will also be upgraded to better ones, eliminating the need for the lord to allocate additional weapons and equipment.

This is not an absolute standard, nor is there a strict requirement; it mainly depends on the personal moral character of the lord

The light mist coalesced and rapidly transformed into a square wooden entity measuring five meters in length and half a meter in diameter

At this time, the soldiers within the city can directly exit from the edge of the divine realm, and enemies outside the divine realm can also directly enter the divine realm through the boundary

And this light point can only condense 1 to 2 points each day

As his consciousness penetrated the space, the wooden stake did not shrink, but remained the same size as before

This means that he can use this space as his own assistant to help him quickly master these extraordinary disciplines

For the natives born in the primitive and savage planes, becoming the private soldiers of a noble lord is undoubtedly a channel for advancement, and there would be no one unwilling to do so

For example, forcibly merging two one-handed swords can result in a single one-handed sword with double the mass and density, or it can form a longsword with unchanged mass and density but a larger blade.

Not only does it maintain soldiers' equipment, but it can also forge various agricultural tools. If in the future the Divine Domain has the opportunity to acquire a large quantity of iron ore, it will still need to be refined by blacksmiths before it can be sold at a high price

Or to put it more explicitly, one can use this to help oneself quickly master a vast amount of extraordinary knowledge in various disciplines, disguise oneself as a genius in this field, gain more attention and recognition, and thereby obtain more opportunities and resources

Similarly, the imperial archers are also remote troops.

The edge of space is a realm of inaccessible chaos, where points of light occasionally emerge from the chaos and fall into space

Eh?

However, the military is quite straightforward. He currently possesses twenty promotion runes for Imperial infantry and twenty promotion runes for Imperial archers. He can select strong adult men from the dependents and then use the promotion runes to digitize their physical data, transforming ordinary mortals and * maps * into military units.

The remaining 10 Imperial infantry, 10 Imperial archers, and 5 Imperial cavalry will not be promoted for the time being

However, sometimes fixed resources are found in certain fragments of dimensions, such as rare mineral veins

Once the territory develops and becomes wealthy, it would indeed be possible to provide some salaries and pensions, which can enhance the morale of the soldiers

As the attraction was emitted, the five-meter-long wooden stake surprisingly shrank at a visible speed and flew into the vortex, being drawn into the space within

As long as there is no rejection, Li Qing turned and approached the first male subordinate, extending his hand to reveal a white light with complex internal patterns that faintly glimmered in his palm, pressing it against the man's head. The white light quickly merged into his body, and immediately, a large number of white light threads flew out from the man's body, swiftly outlining and forming a gigantic cocoon of light that enveloped him.

After observing the attributes, Li Qing instructed the newly recruited soldier to step aside and began promoting the other subordinates

The light points accumulated previously have been absorbed by Li Qing during the establishment of the divine realm, causing his soul strength and willpower to surge several times.

The so-called expansion of the divine realm refers to the descent of the divine realm, originally located within the main body of the war domain, into the real material world, where the divine realm overlaps with the real material world

The divine realm is the territory of the warlord, which is both its weak point and its strongest base

Is it because the golden finger has already been activated

At this stage, there is no captain. He plans to wait for a while and let them compete internally to determine a few squad leaders.

After a moment of contemplation, he went to the entrance and instructed several of his infantrymen to carry ten wooden pillars into the lord's hall, placing them inside the hall.

It took only ten minutes for the promotion of ten new recruits of the Empire to be completed

Li Qing's divine realm currently lacks a defense system and has very few troops, so he certainly cannot take action. However, he must prepare as early as possible

Turning around and entering the tall tower, Li Qing looked at the empty first floor of the tower, thought for a moment, and then turned to let a few of his followers bring over some stones to assemble a bed.

This can only be known when entering the Blackrock Tower War Lord Academy and learning various extraordinary powers through the system

Looking at the remaining 20 Imperial Infantry Promotion Runes and 20 Imperial Archer Promotion Runes, as well as 5 Imperial Cavalry Promotion Runes, Li Qing paused for a moment and decided to first promote 10 Imperial Infantry and 10 Imperial Archers
