Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 83 - 69: "Levy" Talent, Population Acceleration, Resource Acceleration, Forging Acceleration
’It simply shortens the total time required for my territory’s development and increases the overall efficiency of acquiring basic resources, soldier equipment, and soldier weapon proficiency!’
’But what in the world is this second, heaven-defying Talent?’
’Joint Efforts?’
’You give me half your Talent’s effects and some production-type subjects—who only work at half efficiency for me. In return, I give you an equal number of my strongest soldiers to go fight your battles for you?’
’An Awakened Talent with such a bizarre effect actually exists?’
’Viewed on its own, this Talent seems like a piece of crap, but when paired with the powerful production boost from the first Talent, this thing is practically invincible!’
’Getting the Awakened Talent of a King of Territory for free, even a nerfed version with only half the effect, could bring unexpected benefits!’
’The only issue is that the final decision on dispatching the production-type subjects rests solely in the hands of Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior.’
’This is a considerable risk.’
’For example...’
’He could just send all his production-type subjects to my territory, then take the Divine Chosen Soldiers I sent him and intentionally get them killed by some powerful enemy force...’
At this thought, Qin Feng’s heart clenched. His guard went up instantly, his eyes sharpened, and he asked in a low voice:
"Huh?"
"Your Talent is quite powerful, isn’t it?"
"Why didn’t you join the Hafke Alliance, the number one power in our region?"
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior replied with a look of resignation:
"I asked."
"They said I could."
"But I’d have to figure out a way to cross the entire Northern Forest on my own, then get through the fortress checkpoints set up by the Minotaur Kingdom. After that, I’d still have to avoid the bandit groups roaming the Northern Empire’s territory to reach their lands in the Southern Kingdom..."
"How could a Little Tangren player like me, who knows nothing about combat, possibly manage something like that?"
"So I just gave up."
Qin Feng frowned.
"They didn’t offer to send their Divine Chosen Army to escort you?"
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior shook his head.
"No."
"I guess they didn’t think much of my two Awakened Talents."
"Sigh."
"It can’t be helped."
"I heard that these Reincarnated Players can carry over some of their heaven-defying Awakened Talents when they undergo Rebirth... The King of Territory players among them probably have territory development Talents even more powerful than my ’Levy’."
"To them, having one more or one less of me made no difference."
"So my only option was to find an independent player like you, Lord Tingfeng, and ride their coattails."
"As a result..."
"I asked all over the chat channel."
"In a godforsaken dump like the Northern Forest, forget about high-level expert players, I couldn’t even find any newbies like myself."
"The expert players from other regions thought my Awakened Talents were pretty good and could help them, but none of them had the power to escort me out of the Northern Forest."
"In the end, I had no choice but to stay here, relying on the help and Shelter of those Wolfman Tribes to barely get a foothold in this dangerous region."
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior’s tone suddenly shifted:
"I thought..."
"I would have to stay in this crappy place for several more months..."
"before I’d get a chance to escape."
"I never expected..."
"that today I would actually see the Native Creatures you subjugated, Lord Tingfeng..."
After listening to Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior’s story, Qin Feng had a general understanding of his situation.
’His starting luck was terrible.’
’He’d randomly spawned at a terrible birth point.’
’And while his second Awakened Talent, "Joint Efforts," offered huge support benefits to others, it also came with huge risks.’
’If Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior decided to act like Bridge Blocker Uluru, a lone wolf constantly getting himself isolated and overwhelmed...’
’Or if he was just one of those players who are terrible at the game but addicted to it, always eager to lead soldiers into battle only to lose against everyone...’
’Then the Lord Player bound to him would be constantly losing troops because of him.’
’Get 100 production-type subjects, lose 100 Desert Giant Wolves. Get another 100, lose 100 Awakened Fire Foxes... No one could stomach that kind of loss.’
’It would be a purely torturous experience.’
’On top of that,’
’those expert players who chose to join the Hafke Alliance...’
’were mostly Reincarnated Players on "new accounts" who could retain the Divine-level Talents they had awakened in the previous game, many of which were heaven-defying territory development Talents.’
’Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior’s first Awakened Talent, "Levy," wasn’t a high priority for them.’
’Therefore, they weren’t willing to expend significant manpower and resources, and risk losing many Divine Chosen Soldiers, to help a strange Lord like Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior, who posed a certain risk of being a liability.’
’So they politely rejected him with the excuse that he had to "migrate on his own."’
With that thought, Qin Feng started to feel conflicted. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
’Should I take this Lord Player named Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior under my wing and reap the accelerated benefits of his "Levy" Talent?’
’The guy seemed normal enough for now, but you can never be too careful.’
’If he turned out to be some super-weirdo who enjoys hurting others even at his own expense, or a brainless Divine Being of a player who refuses to listen to commands, then Qin Feng would be completely powerless against him once they were bound.’
’At that point, everything from unbinding the "Joint Efforts" Talent to arranging the specific number of production-type and Combat-type Subjects to be exchanged...’
’...would be decided by Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior alone.’
’And as the "ally" bound to him, Qin Feng would not even have the right to launch an Active attack on Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior’s territory. He would have no choice but to place the fate of his own soldiers entirely in Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior’s hands.’
