Fire Monster

Chapter 150 The times are calling

"Has everyone been there?"

Zhao Guanshan asked. He also realized that the problem was a bit tricky. You know, because of the imperial seal chariot incident, they had severely offended Cuihonglou. It would be strange if the other party remained indifferent.

Liu Yuwei nodded. She couldn't stop it.

"How can these people be like this? My brother and I are exhausted, but they have the nerve to go to Cuihonglou to have a good time. Brother, do you really think you can win with a group of people like this?"

Xiao Chengyun was very angry. She felt that all her hard work had been in vain.

"You can't say that. On the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable, and the pressure is great. It is normal to need to vent. There is no need to interfere in this matter. Everything must wait until the first-level spirit supply tower is built."

"Commander, you will be needed to take charge for the next few days. You are mainly to warn our old brothers to stop and not to be tricked. This is also for the short term. Once the first-level spirit supply tower is built and the energy storage spirit stones can be consumed, we can catch these guys and train them to death."

"Survival of the fittest. When they are eliminated one day, don't blame us."

Liu Yuwei nodded. "In fact, I have great trust in those old brothers. They all know their limits. But can I help you deploy a level one spiritual supply array? Although I don't know how, you can teach me. The sooner we can deploy it, the sooner we can gain an advantage."

"this--"

Xiao Chengyun was a little tempted. Liu Yuwei was able to enter the Tao and be promoted to a second-level Qi Refiner in a very short period of time. This showed that her mental potential was not bad. So as long as she was willing to learn and the two were willing to teach, it would only take two or three days at most, and then the work of two people would become the work of three people, which was very conducive to being lazy.

And in the end, the construction period may even be accelerated.

Isn't it true that three people working together is more efficient than two people?

But unexpectedly, Zhao Guanshan refused without even thinking about it.

"It only takes two of us to deploy the spirit-supplying formation. Commander, have you forgotten the pressure Su Hai brought to you? Have you forgotten how Zhao Sande died? Have you forgotten how big the gap is between us and the front-line troops?"

"Don't think that becoming a Qi Refiner will solve all problems once and for all. The Qi Refiners' abilities are indeed powerful, but they can't solve all problems. So if you can use the power of a martial artist to solve a problem, try to use the power of a martial artist."

"So from now on, Commander, you have to forget that you are a Qi Refiner. You must find one or two of the many spiritual weapons that you are best at, and then hone and train them to reach a higher level of mastery."

"Also, let me say that you, Commander, should focus on honing and training your psychic longbow in the future. You'd better change your fighting style. Don't just rush forward and become a heavy shield bearer or main attacker. Your attack position should be at the rear of the team. You should be a long-range main attacker."

"As for why, the reason is very simple, because what you engraved and practiced was the Qingmu Dao Fu. This is not a profession that involves shouting and killing in front of people."

"We must get closer to the frontline soldiers."

At this point, Zhao Guanshan simply brought Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun to the barracks hall and gathered everyone there. As a result, except for those who were on patrol, most people had run back from Cuihonglou in a panic. No wonder Liu Yuwei felt worried. What kind of combat effectiveness could they have?

To be honest, Zhao Guanshan was also very disappointed at this moment.

He looked at everyone expressionlessly. Some people were embarrassed, some laughed, some avoided his gaze, and some did not care at all.

"I know that everyone has had a hard time during this period. Not only have you lost interest in food, but even the brothers below are lonely. I understand and have no objection."

"But I think that everything should be done in moderation and not be obsessed. Of course, everyone will say that we really have nothing to do. That's true, but have you ever thought about what you would do if one day you have to face a seventh-level evil demon alone?"

"What if one day you have to face an enemy like Su Hai?"

"Yu Che, I'm talking to you. You know best how Zhao Sande died. You cried like a grandson at that time, but now you're having fun playing with the women in Cuihonglou. Have you ever thought about taking over Zhao Sande's share?"

"New recruits don't understand these things. Do you veterans have no self-control?"

"I used my family's heritage to help you advance, just so you can happily go to Cuihonglou to play with women?"

"I won't talk about what happened before. From now on, except for those who need to take turns patrolling every day, everyone in the first, second, and third squads must learn how to repair psychic weapons. Your teacher is Hu Baimu. From now on, unless it is necessary, the military supervisor and I will no longer help you repair psychic weapons!" "Don't say you can't learn it. If you can't learn it, get out. In the past, you could use the excuse that you didn't have time and didn't have the opportunity, but now you have plenty of time and plenty of opportunities. A martial artist who can't even repair and assemble his own psychic weapons deserves to be eliminated!"

"I'm going to say this in advance. Don't think I'm exaggerating. Times have changed. If we don't seize every opportunity to enrich ourselves and gain more advantages, we will be eliminated in the future."

"Also, from today on, you will learn how to repair psychic weapons during the day, and spend the night in the barracks comprehending your own natal seals. Only when you understand your natal seals better can you save yourself on the battlefield."

"Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"

Zhao Guanshan walked out of the barracks with a gloomy face, but then let out a long sigh, because he saw the camp of Xu Ming's team not far away. They were all new recruits, but they could still train every day. In comparison, their Second Pioneer Battalion was just a group of scattered soldiers.

"Brother, do you regret it?"

Xiao Chengyun caught up and was gloating.

"I don't regret it. I've wanted to sort it out for a long time, and now I just happened to have this excuse."

"But you don't really want them to learn how to assemble and repair psionic weapons by themselves, do you?"

"Why not? Times are changing, and the fittest survive. Junior sister, it's not just them. I also want to advise you not to think about your Five Elements Refiners all the time. Even if you really gather five like-minded Refiners, I'm afraid they can't compare to the combination of a martial artist + Imperial Seal Chariot in terms of cost-effectiveness."

"Believe me, now that the factory directly under the Demon Suppression Department can produce and build a level 3 Imperial Seal Chariot, then in the future they will definitely be able to produce and build a level 4 Imperial Seal Chariot, or even a level 5 Imperial Seal Chariot. By that time, perhaps there will be no need for Qi Refiners to serve as military supervisors."

"When more powerful weapons and tools can replace manpower and obtain more resources at a lower cost, guess what will happen?"

"Let me tell you. First of all, the liberal arts and martial arts will no longer be separated, because students no longer need to graduate at the age of seventeen. They can wait until they are twenty-one or even twenty-four to graduate. In this way, they will not only have stronger strength, but also become single-seal or even double-seal martial artists upon graduation. At the same time, they will also be outstanding craftsmen who are proficient in various liberal arts theories and various practical operations."

"If we match them with more powerful level 4 or even level 5 Imperial Seal Chariots, you know what will happen."

"If this situation continues, advantages will continue to accumulate, and naturally there will be people who can master all three disciplines of civil and martial arts. Junior sister, you feel very superior now because there are less than 30 people who can be selected for the Taoist discipline every year. But in the future, there may be hundreds or even thousands of people who can master all three disciplines of civil and martial arts every year. Compared with them, what is your advantage?"

Xiao Chengyun was shocked by the scene described by Zhao Guanshan and didn't know how to refute it.

"So, this is why I am willing to risk everything to defend this city and make it my territory. Opportunities are rare. The Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Administration Department, and even the Taoist Academy, the three giants, are obviously in a stage of power transition and power chaos. They are all scrambling to grab land, but for various reasons, there will be some gaps in their jurisdiction. This gives us an opportunity."

"But this opportunity won't last forever. When these three giants stabilize from this chaotic state of power change, with their huge size, they will definitely guard their own territory tightly, and there will be no chance for us to make a breakthrough."

"Do you get me?"

Xiao Chengyun shook his head, then nodded, "I don't understand, but I will follow what my senior brother says. We share the good times and the bad times. How about that? I am loyal, right?"

"Of course we are loyal. We will not rest for the next ten days and ten nights, and strive to deploy a first-level spirit supply tower as soon as possible!"

"Ah! Brother, I hate you!"

Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun were talking and making a fuss, but in fact both of them were tough guys. When they reached the city wall, they didn't say a word and just rushed forward, each showing their magical powers. They really dared to fight for the first-level spirit supply tower.

At the same time, Liu Yuwei was rarely furious and strictly supervised everyone to learn how to repair and assemble psychic weapons, and she herself took the lead in learning.

For a while, everyone was miserable. Some were perfunctory, some were disdainful, some agreed with it and were determined to become stronger. In addition, there were those who simply couldn't understand why they had to do this. But because they were crazy fans of Master Xiao Zhao, they thought that whatever Master Xiao Zhao said was right, so they gritted their teeth and learned it anyway.

In short, on the third day after Cuihonglou opened, the originally bustling scene with booming business suddenly became deserted and almost no customers.

Liu Niang was very depressed. The task assigned to her by the boss behind the scenes was about to fail again.

Why is it always like this!
