Richard, who had just surrendered, said that Zhang Guangmu did not need to reimburse him for all his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In fact, Richard believed that he could take care of Zhang Guangmu's daily life and become an excellent housekeeper.
After all, before he became a junior magic apprentice of the thunder and lightning department, he was first a relative of the royal family. He received various etiquette educations since he was a child. Although he has never really worked as a housekeeper for others, as long as he does this kind of thing, he will be able to do it.
You will definitely be able to get started quickly.
After Zhang Guangmu and Richard chatted casually for a few words, they asked the man to treat his injuries and then get one or two magic books from "this era".
After getting the task, Richard was very excited.
"Follow your orders, Lord City Lord!"
Richard is not afraid that Zhang Guangmu will give him difficult tasks, but he is afraid that he will be left idle.
The higher the frequency of receiving tasks, the higher his status in Zhang Guangmu's mind.
In this way, thirty years later, when Zhang Guangmu becomes the Dharma Saint, Richard, as the celebrity next to Zhang Guangmu, will also soar into the sky!
So after Richard vowed to successfully complete the mission, he happily left the city lord's mansion.
In the living room of the city lord's palace, Zhang Guangmu summoned several guards who looked like they were guarding the gate but were actually human-shaped vases, and issued several investigation tasks on prices and food reserves.
Zhang Guangmu has the red copper mushroom token given by Li Xiaoxiao in his hand. He can immerse his consciousness in it and observe the situation of the entire city at any time.
But before he forced out "Magic Enlightenment" from Richard's mouth, he also tried to use the token to observe the entire Mushroom City, and found that the thing had too many limitations. First, the vision was blurred, and second, it could not be used for too long, otherwise it would
I feel spiritually empty and lacking in energy.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.
To become the lord of Mushroom City, you must have a detailed understanding of all the information about the city in order to tailor a suitable development strategy.
Therefore, the matter of "developing the basic market" can be described as just five words, but in fact it has to be broken down into dozens or hundreds of small daily tasks.
If Zhang Guangmu did these things meticulously, he would probably die suddenly in less than seven and a half years.
But as long as they are reasonably allocated and given to the right people, allowing manpower, resources, and money to flow to form a positive cycle, [expanding power] becomes a relatively easy thing.
In this way, Zhang Guangmu has enough time and energy to [enhance individual combat power].
after all……
The Path of the Emperor is completely different from the usual subconscious movies. It is a world where great power is attributed to individuals. Even the type with the lowest ceiling is far higher than usual.
Although under normal circumstances, you have to pay money to arrange work, Zhang Guangmu is the new city lord who has taken office. Even the members of the guard team who are direct descendants of the city lord's palace know that their previous performance was not good, and they are afraid of losing their jobs and being replaced by newcomers.
So they all showed great enthusiasm.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
To put it simply, during this period of time, Zhang Guangmu only did two things.
The first thing is to improve your own strength and realm.
The second thing is to conduct an overall investigation and understanding of the situation in Moocheng.
According to Zhang Guangmu's self-assessment, he did both of these things fairly well.
The first is Moocheng’s investigative report
Because everyone under his command worked hard enough, Zhang Guangmu was willing to spend a lot of money to win people's hearts. Different from the previous salary system, he temporarily came up with an integrated salary system.
That is: whoever completes more tasks will get more money immediately!
The lethality of the word "immediately" is ridiculously strong.
Others do one task to dawdle? Yes! I will do two tasks. In addition to the hard-to-gnaw black bread, I can also make a bowl of fruit wine with some impurities, and then eat a delicious piece of barbecue!
What? You did two tasks? Then I will do three! Not because I want to compare, but because I am worried that the tasks will be taken away by others. If you miss such a good opportunity to make quick money, you will never find it again!
This remuneration package system is based on the inherent system of Moucheng, and was originally limited to the internal circulation of the city lord's palace.
Because if it lasts for a long time, it is likely that the entire task/salary system will collapse due to problems with the capital chain.
But……
Zhang Guangmu's actions were like opening Pandora's box.
Under the operation of the powerful [instant feedback involution mechanism], many residents living in this city can vaguely feel that this city, which originally had a slow pace of life, is rapidly changing.
The rhythm of life here seems to be accelerated, accelerated, accelerated again by a pair of invisible hands!
Eat quickly!
Walk fast!
Do things quickly!
As long as you work hard, poverty and hunger will never catch up with you!
I don't know when it started, but the people of Moucheng gradually began to regard the "Three Fast Principles" proposed by the new city leader Guangmu as their motto.
They say it themselves, just as a joke.
But if this catchy and simple slogan is shouted too often, it will naturally become a habit, and even be deeply imprinted in the depths of the soul, becoming a benchmark to guide their actions.
An episode worth mentioning is...
In just three days, a brand new alchemy workshop opened next to [Hunzi Alchemy Studio] called [Chali Alchemy Studio]. From decoration to high-end products, it beat the former in every aspect, which also made the original Hunzi Alchemy Studio
The former, who were waiting for death, were forced to roll up and began to pursue better service quality and better products.
besides……
The most important thing is that the useless losers in Mushroom City, driven by this system, quickly completed a gorgeous transformation, as if they went from one extreme to another overnight.
Diligence and hard work can instantly eliminate laziness in oneself.
No one knows why all this is happening.
Zhang Guangmu knew everything in his heart, but he didn't intend to explain it to anyone.
It seems to be the benefit brought by the early superposition of the old and new systems.
In the final analysis, it is still the same saying that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward!
If you are willing to spend real money, you will definitely be able to buy people who can do things!
It is actually very simple to make this tank named [Mushroom City] keep rushing forward without collapsing due to lack of fuel.
At least it's not difficult in Zhang Guangmu's opinion.
As long as we find ways to gain more profits from other channels, we can use Baishuang County and even the entire magic planet to support Mushroom City...
You can quickly make your [basic base] powerful to a jaw-dropping level!
Of course, this kind of thing is relatively far away, and there may still be some challenges and minor troubles in trying to achieve it.
What Zhang Guangmu can be sure of is that in the process of increasing his power, there is a by-product that can definitely be obtained.
That is [Mushroom City Culture], if you work hard, you will be rewarded immediately, with almost no delay.
As the saying goes...
The King of Qi likes purple, and there is nothing unusual in his palace. The King of Qi likes purple clothes, and there is nothing unusual in his kingdom. The Duke of Jin likes purple, and his clothes are in tatters in his court. The King of Wu is a good swordsman, and the people suffer many scars.
The principle of "what is good above will be good below" applies to all heavens and all realms, and it is true throughout the ages!
After Zhang Guangmu deliberately shaped his image into a "genius city lord who acts vigorously and decisively", this fast-paced "immediate fairness" culture started from the city lord's palace and quickly radiated and expanded throughout Mushroom City!
If it weren't for the fact that these people in Moucheng were so afraid of death that they didn't dare to take any dangerous missions, Zhang Guangmu could almost see a little bit of the [Fourth Natural Disaster] in them.
Regardless, Zhang Guangmu quickly obtained more detailed information about the city.
Roughly speaking, Moocheng, as one of the four major cities in Baishuang County, ranks among the top four in the county, with dozens of small cities below it.
Among the magic stars, there are more than thirty counties that are stronger than Baishuang County on paper, and there are about ten that are weaker than it.
As for Moocheng's military, internal affairs, people's livelihood and other aspects, there is a lack of intuitive data, but it is still above the qualifying line.
Then, the problem comes to the important link of [personal combat power]...
Zhang Guangmu knew very well that if he wanted to surpass the intermediate magic apprentice and reach the level of a senior magic apprentice, he must master a true magic.
And this...
In these three days, after many failures, Zhang Guangmu finally did it.
Snapped!
Zhang Guangmu snapped his fingers, and a ball of golden flame emerged from his palm.
This golden flame was as tame as spring water, and like a fiery snake, flying back and forth in the air driven by his thoughts.
"The temperature is not too high, but it has substance and can be used to block attacks from knife-point bullets."
"The main property is [burning], the basic attribute of fire magic. In addition, it also has a certain [toughness], which can be used to control enemies."
The magic in this world is so convenient.
There is no need to chant lines or make hand gestures. You only need to use your will to drive the magic energy particles together to perform magic tricks.
If these magic energy particles can be slightly arranged and combined into a more refined structure, more powerful real magic can be released!
As we all know, Richard is a waste, of no great use, and he is only an intermediate magic apprentice.
After all, Richard himself only knows a little magic tricks with lightning properties, but he doesn't even know any real magic.
It is sheer fantasy to want to be promoted to a senior magic apprentice by studying him.
so……
Although the magic used by Zhang Guangmu is inseparable from the several magic books brought by Richard, the most important learning target is the official mage Diana, whom he had only met once before.
Although he does not have any memory of taking a quick look at the camera, when Zhang Guangmu saw Diana for the first time, the other party used a ball of water to block the bullet from the alchemical fire cannon for Richard.
At that time, the mooncake was still on Zhang Guangmu's shoulder.
Zhang Guangmu could clearly see the patterns arranged by the magic particles when Diana used water flow magic.
Although there is no way to perfectly restore Diana's arrangement pattern, it is still possible to imitate it 80% to 90%.
After all, he is also a man with [Acting Skills 3]!
This copying ability takes thirty years of work!
Zhang Guangmu feels that if he is not the Lord of Mushroom City, he can definitely invite the magicians from all over the world to fight. He will continue to secretly learn other people's core magic energy patterns through fighting, quickly reach a higher level, and break out [Copy Master Zhang Guangmu]
name!
but……
That way it would be easy to get beaten to death.
On the contrary, as the lord of Mushroom City, Zhang Guangmu has now gradually begun to secure his position as the city lord. In the future, relying on this status, he will initiate online invitations with other magicians, euphemistically called discussions and exchanges, even if the other magicians know that they want to steal.
Master, I’m afraid it’s not easy to refuse.
Seeing Zhang Guangmu controlling the golden-red flaming snake as he pleased, as if he was about to change his profession and become a Master, the little white dumplings floating in the air couldn't help themselves with excitement.
"As expected of the Seven Stars, one progresses faster than the other! Even Xia Lianshan on the Blue Star side is now combining the knowledge of the two worlds to support himself, reaching the level of a senior magic apprentice! What a strong yuppie!"
"I wonder if Mu Zai's fire magic has a far range? It would be great if it could be enchanted on the gloves. Lord Tianguang Castle will reappear in the world!"
"Isn't it more handsome to enchant a long sword? The cold light human king from S area can chop everything!"
"Why do you have to be a magic warrior? Are you not happy with Master Chun? The great virtuous master taught everyone how to be a good person with his 'thunder'!"
"It is recommended that Zhang Kui delve into time magic and create a time loop directly, so that everyone can go do their homework and regain the style of the Red Lotus Academy!"
"...Nagawa IIdaimu expressed his regrets. Isn't it good to use a gun? I'll shoot a kid until he cries!"
"Zhang Guangmu's starting point is not very high, but his development speed is really fast. It feels like he is overpowering the other seven stars..."
"After all, there are two major Seven Stars on the Infinity battleship. Although their power is average, they have high development potential and upper limit!"
"Hee hee, the balanced version of the Path of the Emperor was done very well this time! It was thrown directly to the newcomer's crusher to Blue Star. This operation is really cool."
Faced with the audience's teasing, Zhang Guangmu felt as clear as ice.
As early as two days ago, he had obtained a lot of valuable information through these novices.
For example, [Magic Star Traveler] Xia Lianshan, the uncle ranked second among the Seven Stars this year, after coming to Blue Star, combined magic and the fighting skills of Blue Star's major schools to create a new extraordinary path of his own.
With sparks and lightning, he seems to have the tendency to become the Blue Star [Fighting Emperor], and his popularity is so high.
Another example……
Our strongest combat force, Zhao Zhengrong, was not on the Magic Star, but was thrown to the Blue Star.
Zhang Guangmu can only take one step at a time.
After all, it was Boss Zhao who was born on Blue Star. If it had been anyone else in the team, Zhang Guangmu estimated that none of them would survive the middle stage of the Imperial Path three years later.
If it were Zhao Zhengrong...
Judging from the experience of previous years, Zhang Guangmu believes that as long as Big Brother can perform normally, he can easily survive to the later stage.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guangmu focused his eyes on a book called "Shaping Magic: Elementary Theory" and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The book in hand becomes the "Book of Deduction".
【Zhang Guangmu】
ability
【Sword Technique 1】
【Firearm Shooting 1】
【Acting 3】
[Imperial Forging Technique 7]
Achievement
【Magic(Bronze)】
This [Magic (Bronze)] appeared automatically when Zhang Guangmu became a senior magic apprentice, and it was an ability recognized by Brother Shu.
In just three days, Zhang Guangmu mastered a skill to a level that ordinary people would have to spend time and hard work to achieve. Zhang Guangmu once again realized how perverted a real top genius is.
But he also gradually realized that things were not as beautiful as he imagined.
[Magic (Bronze)] is not the same as [Magic 1]. It is a separate achievement determination system given by Shuge for extraordinary power.
Now, although Zhang Guangmu has the highest level of magic talent, he is still stuck at the level of a magic apprentice.
Unless you suddenly have an "enlightenment", or get more magic books, absorb wisdom, and accumulate knowledge, you can become an [official magician].
At that point, Zhang Guangmu estimates that the [Magic (Bronze)] achievement will be upgraded to a higher level.
Will it become [Magic (Iron)]?
This thing...
At first glance, you can tell that you cannot add points through "Available Ability Points".
After all, its classification is not "ability", but "achievement".
"The Book of Deduction" is relatively rigorous and generally does not make stupid mistakes.
Zhang Guangmu felt that Brother Shu recognized his efforts and wanted to encourage him, so he gave him a data panel, just to make it look good, and to provide some guidance.
If we really want to talk about the use...
Probably it allows Zhang Guangmu to clearly know how far he has reached on a certain extraordinary path, and by the way, it plays a role in driving obsessive-compulsive disorder and urging the collector to work hard.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Guangmu, who has [Acting Skill 3] by his side, is already certain that he can directly steal others' lessons during the battle, quickly gain a lot of experience, and forcibly push the [Magic] achievement to a higher level.
This is also one of the important reasons why Zhang Guangmu wants to communicate with other magicians.
No matter what, whether it's a gang crushing the whole world, or a single person dominating the world, it's all a man's romance!
At least for Zhang Guangmu, it is indeed a kind of romance.
Even if there is even a slight chance, we must try our best.
After all, the top talents brought by this year's Seven Stars title are of the expired type.
As we all know, after the new batch of Seven Stars appear next year, the current Seven Stars will not have these benefits in the "Road to the Great Emperor".
Zhang Guangmu estimates that by next year, he won't have such a ruthless talent, and if he is a little unlucky, he might just be a loser who started out as a novice.
only……
Looking at the newly added achievement list in addition to the ability list in his personal panel, Zhang Guangmu always felt that something was outrageous.
[Magic] No matter how high the achievement rating of this thing is, what use is it in the real world?
There is no such thing as magic energy particles in Xuanlong Empire...
Turn into glory and solidify it, so that you can clearly recall it in the future?
The main reason is that Brother Shu is too serious.
anyway……
Every year, the Road to the Great Emperor is great, with a gathering of heroes and heroes from all walks of life fighting, and it's exciting, but there is one thing that Zhang Guangmu wants to complain about every year, it's unscientific!
Compared with the usual subconscious movies, the national activities are not so scientific.
However, Zhang Guangmu is not an idiot. Seeing that Brother Shu personally approved [Magic], he guessed that the path to the Great Emperor is not as simple as he originally imagined.
Whoosh!
An afterimage passed through the sky.
The next moment, Li Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a three-foot green sword and dressed in white, appeared next to Zhang Guangmu.
"At first I wasn't used to wearing this set of clothes, and I thought it might affect the battle. But as time went by, I came to understand its secrets."
"Blue Star's splendid civilization really needs to be fully integrated and integrated into it, so that I can perfectly unleash the power of this [Moon Zhan]."
"This battle suit makes my moves softer and smoother, and my strength has increased by at least 10%!"
Li Xiaoxiao thought it was quite magical.
This combat uniform is obviously loose and loose. At first glance, it seems that it has no advantages other than good looks. It will only drag yourself down in a life-and-death fight. But after you really get used to it, you will feel...
With such a sword, one is born to wear such clothes!
Not awkward at all!
even……
He also had a vague feeling that his swordsmanship would reach a higher level and reach a higher realm!
Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Guangmu intently, trying hard to keep a straight face and look like a cold swordsman.
But the smile in his eyebrows still betrayed him: "Aside from clothes?"
"You guys must have some good stuff that you haven't brought out yet."
"Stop hiding it. A real man should be decisive. The worst is, I will protect you for three more months!"
Zhang Guangmu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Jade pendant, hair bun, Qingyun shoes."
"For a moment, I can only think of these three things."
Having said this, he glanced at Li Xiaoxiao: "Your hair is too short, so forget about it in a bun. Even if it grows out, it would be good to grow your hair into a shawl, dye it pure black, and look like a sword god.
"
The aborigines on the Magic Star have all kinds of strange hair and eye colors.
Neither Mr. Chu Ba's blond hair and blood-stained eyes nor Brother Xiaoxiao's blue-haired, golden eyes are particularly conspicuous.
Passers-by with heterochromatic eyes can be seen walking around in the streets and alleys, and no one finds it strange.
The word "Sword God" hit Li Xiaoxiao's itch. Although he pursed his lips and said nothing, pretending to be a master, there were stars in his eyes.
"Meow~"
Mooncake lazily opened her eyelids, glanced at Li Xiaoxiao, twisted her body again, and purred as soon as she closed her eyes.
"..."
Li Xiaoxiao always felt like this little furry orange thing was stuck to Zhang Guangmu's shoulder with super glue.
"I will take the time to help you draw the drawings of the jade pendant and shoes, and then you can find someone to customize them."
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu stretched out his fingers and gently scratched the side of the kitten's face on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It takes about three days to draw a picture."
"I really want to wear these clothes, so... please make a few more sets."
Zhang Guangmu counted with his fingers and clapped his hands: "Let's do three sets first!"
"You, me, Chu Fan."
"One set per person."
Li Xiaoxiao frowned, then nodded slightly: "That's okay."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Fan's joyful voice came from the door: "Brother Guang, I'm here!"
(The New Year’s goal is: update 10,000 words every day! I hope everyone will supervise it!)
