Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 224 The Unfathomable Secrets.

That happened after Emperor Chonghuang obtained the authority to apply for territorial claims.

Once a player's guild reaches level 10, they can apply for a territory from the Imperial Federation. The requirements will be omitted for now. The most important thing is that once you successfully own a territory, you will be able to recruit a territory management NPC. Through the existence of this NPC, you can create territory infrastructure, construct territory layout, and recruit territory guard troops, thereby expanding the territory's scale and enhancing its strength.

The speed at which territory is expanded and the efficiency of its strength are improved depend entirely on the rank of the NPCs being managed.

In terms of construction, the higher the rank of the managing NPC, the more territory construction tasks will be issued. The higher the task rank, the lower the task difficulty, the richer the construction resources rewarded, and the faster the construction and upgrading of buildings.

In military terms, the higher the rank of the NPC you manage, the more types of troops you can recruit, the higher the chance of a critical hit when recruiting troops, the higher the chance of special generals spawning, and the faster the troop upgrade efficiency.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to define a high-ranking management NPC as the heart and core of a guild's power!

However, each guild only has ten opportunities to recruit "core" members. The management NPCs recruited each time will be randomly refreshed from seven grades: gray, white, blue, purple, gold, orange, and red. Each refresh costs 100,000 guild funds and five NPCs will be generated each time. The generation record after the refresh will be retained, meaning that after ten times, you can still choose the one with the highest grade generated in the ten times. This is a relatively reasonable and humane gambling setting.

However, only those who have experienced refreshing NPCs will understand how low the probability of refreshing a high-quality NPC is. Not to mention the highest-quality red NPC, even the medium-quality gold NPC is very rare. After ten refreshes, very few guilds or forces can get an orange NPC. The vast majority use gold NPCs as their management core.

The known enhancements that gold and orange NPCs provide to a territory are as follows:
Gold: The maximum number of tasks that can be issued is once per guild member. The highest task grade is A. The task difficulty is reduced by 10%, and the reward of building resources is increased by 10%.

Regarding troop recruitment: there are a total of five types: spearmen, swordsmen, archers, cavalry, and herdsmen. The quantity bonus is 10%, the special general spawn rate is 5%, and the troop upgrade speed is increased by 10%.

Orange: The maximum number of tasks that can be issued is 2 per guild member. The highest task grade is S. The task difficulty is reduced by 20%, and the reward of building resources is increased by 20%.

Regarding troop recruitment: Compared to the gold version, there is one more [Mystic Arts], which increases the quantity critical hit rate by 20%, the chance of special generals appearing by 10%, and the troop upgrade speed by 20%.

The huge differences between high-quality NPCs are evident from the data comparison alone; the speed of territory upgrade and expansion for orange-quality NPCs is twice as fast as that for gold-quality NPCs!
This conclusion led to a surge in the desire of various factions for the red NPCs. Some guilds with large funds and strong manpower even went so far as to split their members and create branch guilds to conduct high-frequency NPC farming operations. Their enthusiasm was even more frantic than the card game rerolling back in the day. The Emperor was no exception.

After all, according to the data calculations, as long as you have a red management NPC, even if other forces get priority in acquiring territory and the territory is well-off, they can still be defeated by this decisive core.

Thus, with mid-level players at high levels and possessing all the necessary skills, in just over half a month, various guilds quickly took shape, reaching the threshold for obtaining territorial authority, and the second recruitment war began once again.

As fate would have it, with ample preparation and a large enough refresh base, guilds began to refresh red management NPCs one after another, including Chonghuang. However, just as the lucky forces were basking in their ecstasy, a post quickly jumped out from the center of the forum, riding the wave of NPC refreshes. He couldn't remember who posted it, but the content of the post was still vivid in his mind.

Essentially, it was a lucky draw among thousands of small and medium-sized forces, where a single recruitment resulted in the appearance of three red NPCs. Since it was a screen recording from the game that was directly transferred to the forum, the possibility of cheating was virtually eliminated.

Normally, forums tend to be averse to posts that flaunt one's character and incite hatred; frankly, it's just sour grapes. But this particular post, before it sparked hatred, first stirred up confusion among the people.

why?
Because in the recruitment section of the video, two of the three red NPCs at the top have extremely strange appearances in both their information panels and their resumes.

The previous one had a dark red information bar with drops of blood splattered on it, and the font used to describe the information had a dangerous visual feel to it.

The next one has a dark gray information panel. Apart from the name indicating the quality and the avatar showing the appearance, the rest of the screen is solemn and dignified.

specific information:

[Per] (NPC) Gender: Male
Age: 16
Race: Half-demon
Intelligence level: 16
Specialties: [Command] [Tactics] [Military Force]

Traits: [?] [?] [Closest Family Bond]

[Closest Family Bond]: Wherever his sister is, that is his haven.

Message: He loves his only sister, Pera, dearly, and exists only for her.

Status: Missing, wanted throughout the federal government.

……

[Pella] (NPC)

Gender: Female
Age: 15
Race: Half-demon
Intelligence level: 30
Specialties: [Politics] [Strategy] [Calculation] [Psychology] [Management].

characteristic:【??】【???】【????】

Information: She loves her brother Per, but has deeper thoughts and is eager to learn about her parents' past and their deeply buried secrets.

Status: Dead.

……

Upon seeing this, everyone's attention will be drawn to the "Intelligence Level" column, which is the basis for measuring the strength of a management NPC.

The former is 16, surpassing the third-ranked red NPC by three levels, and according to subsequent statistics from other factions, no other NPC has been able to surpass it.

However, even at this level, it is still far beyond the reach of her sister Pera's intelligence level, separated by the vastness of space.

30 points, intelligence level 30 points. Let alone a genius, based on his understanding of divine revelation and his experience with NPCs, he was certain that no one in the current Federal Empire had reached such a level! Not even the guardian deity of Water God County!

Unfortunately, their shock didn't last long; the description in the status information section brought them back to reality.

Disappearance, wanted status, death—each represents misfortune and highlights unhappiness. Especially the missing Per, whose wanted level is basically the same as Alice's in the demon realm. This is what it means for heaven to be jealous of talent.

Looking at their appearances, Per has red hair and red eyes, a strange scar on one side of his face, and a cold and resistant gaze.

Pera has red hair and heterochromatic eyes, with a deep red left eye and a golden right eye, and she is calm and composed.

Even without having met them or heard of them, he could still tell that the two had secrets about their lives that others could not comprehend.
