Chapter Sixteen: The Mystery of Attributes
Following Guo Jia's advice, Qin Lan no longer planned to leave the team and instead began discussing with Guo Jia how to gain the most benefit from this escape.
Because Guo Jia was not familiar with the magic of this other world, Qin Lan roughly explained it to him. Afterwards, Guo Jia nodded his head in understanding, "So, these magicians are actually just what we call Taoist priests."
After integrating all the intelligence from Qin Lan's mouth, Guo Jia gave a few suggestions later.
The first point is that Qin Lan's own strength improvement is the most important thing, and the improvement of her strength not only represents the increase in survival rate but also directly affects her unique summoning technique. Currently, Qin Lan can only summon Blue Card Xu Rong and Yellow Card Xia Hou Yuan, and at most, she can summon forty small soldiers. This power is negligible in the midst of a thousand troops. Moreover, because Qin Lan can summon too few soldiers, even if it's Xia Hou Yuan, the commander's bonus obtained is extremely low, failing to reflect the great general's powerful prestige.
At this point, through Guo Jia's explanation, Qin Lan finally understood the role of various attributes in this variant of Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms. Leadership is of course the most important, a general's leadership determines how many soldiers he can get strength bonuses from, the higher his leadership, the more soldiers he can command, and naturally get more bonuses, making him stronger. Moreover, every time the number of soldiers under his command reaches a certain number, generals can acquire new martial arts skills and military strategies. The improvement of leadership not only can be obtained through martial arts training and battles, but also through promotion of official positions, however, this official position must first be reached by Qin Lan as the monarch before it can be granted to his subordinates. Finally, leadership can also be improved through some special equipment and medicines, which are just within the range of treasures, very difficult to find.
Domestic attributes, which show the general's ability to handle political affairs, but in Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms, domestic attributes also determine the life force of the soldiers under their command. The higher the domestic attributes of a general, the stronger the recovery ability of his soldiers after being injured, and thus possess stronger combat effectiveness.
Bravery attribute, which shows the combat effectiveness of a general, also determines the degree to which a famous general can enhance his own commanding ability. For example, Red Card Jiang Wei's bravery is 97, so when he leads soldiers with command skills, all soldiers' combat effectiveness will increase by 97%.
Intelligence attribute, which shows the military strategic ability of a martial general, also enhances the defensive power of soldiers. Therefore, the higher the strategy of a martial general, the less likely his soldiers are to be injured.
Charm attribute, showing the intimacy of the displayed general with others when interacting. The higher the charm, the easier it is for the general to capture prisoners, and even persuade other famous generals to defect to their side.
Luck attribute, determines the probability of a general's cultivation and treasure search. The higher the luck, the higher the probability of gaining upgrades during cultivation, and the higher the probability of finding treasures.
Morale is also a very important attribute, but this attribute only appears on the soldiers' bodies, and leaders do not have it. The value of morale determines a soldier's combat effectiveness. Newly recruited soldiers have only 50 morale, at which time they only have 50% combat effectiveness, that is to say, only when the soldier's morale reaches 100 does their combat effectiveness reach 100%. However, 100 is not the upper limit of morale, and the highest value can be as high as 500. Through the training of leaders, soldiers' morale can be increased to 100, but it can only be increased to 100. To continue to increase, it needs to be achieved through continuous victories in battles. When a general on the battlefield crushes his opponents or kills their leader, all the soldiers under his command will gain a boost in morale. When your army achieves its strategic goals, all soldiers under the army will also gain a boost in morale. When the war is won, all of your soldiers will gain a boost in morale.
Loyalty attribute is also a very important index. Loyalty, this is understandable, no need to explain. However, the loyalty attribute has a crucial point, it is linked to command. Only generals with a loyalty of 80 or higher can command their own soldiers. Only soldiers with a loyalty of 80 or higher can be included in the general's command range. The meaning of these two sentences is that if the general's loyalty does not reach 80, he cannot lead troops, and even if he leads troops, there will be no command bonus. Soldiers with less than 80 loyalty cannot go to battle, because going to battle also cannot provide attribute bonuses for the general.
Through Guo Jia's explanation, Qin Lan finally understood the role of various attributes he saw and the hidden secrets. No wonder Wu Jiang could be so powerful, but also had such restrictions. At this time, Qin Lan truly and urgently understood his own strength enhancement, what kind of benefits he could gain, and from then on, cultivation became the most important thing for Qin Lan.
Then, Guo Jia continued to analyze the second point of advice. Although the increase in strength is crucial, Qin Lan cannot possibly rise to a position that commands respect in a short period of time, so he needs to cultivate his own loyal followers in that other world and obtain the right to command troops as soon as possible. Qin Lan currently can't summon too many soldiers, but this point can be solved by thinking about it from the perspective of the other world itself. As long as the loyalty of those soldiers exceeds 80%, Qin Lan and the generals he summons will be able to command them in battle.
As for how to obtain the right to command troops at the fastest speed, Guo Jia gave a suggestion that made Qin Lan cry and laugh, capturing Yun Xianglan's heart. However, Guo Jia didn't think it was funny at all, he seriously explained to Qin Lan that through marriage alliance, it is the fastest way to gain benefits in politics, and as the princess of Xing Shan Empire, Yun Xianglan's status and power are naturally unquestionable. If it were a peaceful period, Qin Lan would have no chance at all. But now is an extraordinary period, also her weakest moment, if she seizes this opportunity to make a mark on Yun Xianglan's heart, it will be of great help to Qin Lan's future rise.
Qin Lan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, although he was somewhat moved by Yun Xianglan's words, but if it meant resorting to such unscrupulous means...
The third point of advice is about the suggestions in Hot Blood Three Kingdoms. The current Xianyang City, after leaving the protection, has been exposed to everyone's face, and the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army's invasion a few days ago has made the city's reputation loud and clear. In addition, there is also the existence of an altar in the city, so in recent days, countless homeless refugees and displaced people have poured into Xianyang City, and they keep coming endlessly.
This is a good thing for the newly born Xianyang, which lacks population extremely, but it also needs to be controlled. The most important thing is to have enough dwellings to accommodate so many people and avoid chaos in the city. Now the official mansion is five levels, so the civilian houses in the city can only be upgraded to six levels. Even if there are ten times the normal population revised by Qin Lan, a civilian house can only accommodate 200,000 people. The twelve civilian houses in the city can only accommodate 2.5 million people. This number of people is very normal for a small city, but for Qin Lan, who aims to contend for the world, it is still too few. Except for the necessary population for construction and resource production, the remaining population that can be used for military service is still far from enough.
So, the city's further upgrading and expansion is imperative.
