Through his conversation with Gaia, Ouyang Shuo finally understood how powerful Level A authority was.
In less than an hour, Ouyang Shuo had spent 2.5 million Achievement points. If he was not worried that his authority would drop to Level B, he would have spent even more Achievement points.
"There are too many good things. I can't stop."
Ouyang Shuo first spent 50,000 Achievement points to customize two swords for himself and his wife, Song Jia.
According to Gaia, the custom-made swords would perfectly replicate the Scarlet Night Sword and Pure Jun Sword they wore. Although there were no special effects, based on their sharpness, toughness, and other physical characteristics, they were definitely divine weapons in reality. The materials used to forge them were the rarest alloys.
Most importantly, they could cause damage to the monsters on Planet Hope and break through their tough skin.
Therefore, it was definitely worth it.
Following that, Ouyang Shuo exchanged for three bottles of Intermediate Gene Medicine. Each bottle was sold for 100,000 Achievement points.
In the game, a character's attributes had innate attributes such as Talent, Comprehension, and other attributes. To a certain extent, it determined the difficulty and speed of a player's cultivation. It was a very important attribute.
However, this was fictional data after all.
True cultivation still depended on talent in reality. In Gaia's understanding, talent was genes.
Genes stored all the information of a life's race, blood type, gestation, growth, and death. It deduced important physiological processes such as reproduction, cell division, and protein synthesis. Birth, growth, decline, illness, aging, and death were all related to genes.
Everyone's genes were generally similar. It was just that some genes were active while others were dormant. The gene medicine developed by Gaia was to awaken a person's cultivation genes to the greatest extent and break through the genetic chains.
Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, and Bing'er were all cultivating top-notch cultivation techniques. If they wanted to be ahead of others in reality, they had to consume the gene medicine to maximize their cultivation talent. That was the prerequisite.
Therefore, they had to spend this money.
This was only the Intermediate Gene Medicine. According to Gaia, the Advanced Gene Medicine had not been successfully developed. However, it did not affect the cumulative use. It was just that the price of the Advanced Gene Medicine would probably be astronomical.
The remaining Achievement points were used by Ouyang Shuo to materialize NPCs.
Before materializing, Ouyang Shuo asked Gaia a question. "After materializing, will they still be under your control?" In the game, Gaia was a god-like existence to NPCs.
If they materialized in reality, they would still be under Gaia's control, so it would be meaningless.
This was Gaia's answer: "Every advanced artificial intelligence is my child, an independent life form. After materializing, I will automatically disconnect from them, and we will no longer be related. "
Ouyang Shuo was silent. Perhaps one day, robots would become a race that stood on equal footing with humans.
Without any worries, Ouyang Shuo began to draw up a list of names.
According to Gaia's quoted price, conjuring a homo sapiens required 500,000 Achievement points, while conjuring a cyborg required 50,000 Achievement points. As for conjuring a combat robot, it only required 5000 Achievement points.
Homo sapiens had unparalleled talent and were more outstanding than 90% of humans.
Cyborgs were good at both literature and martial arts. The combat level of a Cyborgs wearing armor would definitely surpass that of combat robots. In short, the differentiated offer reflected the value of the item.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo hoped to materialize all the civil and military officials of the Great Xia Dynasty as homo sapiens. However, that was impossible. Even if he used up 10,000,000 Achievement points, he could only materialize 20 people.
For the first batch of materialization, Ouyang Shuo chose four homo sapiens and three cyborgs. He used up the remaining 2.15 million Achievement points.
The four homo sapiens were Jiang Shang, Bai Qi, Zhang Liang, and Jia Xu.
A civil official, a military general, a think tank, and a strategist. They were the meritorious officials of the Great Xia Dynasty. They were also the officials that Ouyang Shuo relied on the most and needed to rope in the most.
The three cyborgs were Xu Chu, Shen Buhai, and E Lai. They were Ouyang Shuo's trusted subordinates and required high combat power. Hence, it was most suitable for them to materialize as homo sapiens.
As for the combat robots, they were not within Ouyang Shuo's consideration for the time being.
Of course, materialization could not be completed immediately, especially for the homo sapiens. It would take a year to nurture them and half a year for the cyborgs.
Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided to materialize a batch of civil and military officials every year.
As for who would be selected into the list, it would depend on their performance. After materialization, they would be able to log into the game and be no different from other players. They would not be unable to resurrect after death.
This was the only way to solve the problem of NPCs' resurrection.
During the shopping period, Song Jia, Bing'er, Yu'er, and Luo'er's gaming cabins were also transported to their rooms. This was the first time Ouyang Shuo saw his children in real life.
The fatherly love that came from the source was something that the game world could not compare to.
As Gaia wanted to renovate the bedroom, the custom-made swords could only be delivered in a week. Hence, Ouyang Shuo did not delay and entered the game world again.
…
After returning to the Xia Palace, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to tell Jiang Shang and the rest about the materialization.
The most important thing now was how to deal with the upcoming monster horde. Gaia only gave the territory three days to prepare. Three days later, the monsters' nests would appear in the wilderness.
Hence, he had to make the arrangements as soon as possible.
In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Ouyang Shuo held an emergency military meeting.
In the outer territories of the dynasty, be it Africa's Somaliland Province, or the provinces under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Southern Border and the Protectorate of the Northern Border, there were border guards stationed there.
For the time being, the Grand Council only needed to send orders to the border guards to strengthen the security of the areas under their jurisdiction.
Provinces with satellite cities, such as Morocco Province, had a large number of adventurer players stationed there. They could help the army clear out the monsters' nests.
The only place that was relatively weak was Liaojin Province.
What worried Ouyang Shuo even more was the core of the dynasty.
The Southern Sichuan Province was garrisoned by the City Guards and the Imperial Guards, so naturally they had nothing to worry about. The Southern Min Province was garrisoned by the Brave Tiger Army, the Southern Xiang Province and the Jiangchuan Province were garrisoned by the Hidden Leopard Army, and the Shu Province was garrisoned by the Flying Bear Army and the Soaring Eagle Army.
The most worrisome areas were the Yunnan and Lingnan provinces. These two provinces were not Zhili Province, nor were they border provinces. They only had one garrison regiment stationed there, so they could not withstand the monster horde's invasion.
After some discussion, they decided to station the Flying Bear Army's fourth and fifth corps in Yunnan Province, and the Brave Tiger Army's fourth and fifth corps in Lingnan Province.
They were to station the fifth corps in Qiongzhou County and Yizhou County to help the local garrison regiment.
The imperial guards would act as the main reserve force and defend the capital. Once the monsters' nests respawned, they would be mobilized according to the actual situation and be ready to provide support to the provinces at any time.
Once Ouyang Shuo finished arranging the defense of the army, he turned his attention to the adventurer players.
