Chapter 438: Recruitment Scroll
September 25, 2017
Incredibly powerful.
After unlocking the Savage Wilderness Axe, Lu Hai Kong's combat effectiveness increased exponentially, despite having only one active skill.
Lu Hai Kong's combat prowess was already formidable, and now with the unlocked Savage Wilderness Axe, his strength was estimated to rival even Lu Bu's. Whether he dared to challenge Lu Bu was one thing, but whether he could win was another matter entirely.
After testing the newly unlocked axe a few times, Lu Hai Kong quickly put it away and turned his attention to the three legendary treasure chests in the county government hall.
The county government hall was already in disarray due to the appearance of two million gold, but the three legendary treasure chests remained intact. However, this place didn't seem suitable for opening the treasure chests. If they yielded several hundred million gold or hundreds or thousands of sets of equipment, the county government hall would be completely ruined.
So, while Lu Hai Kong had his subordinates clean up the hall, he took the three legendary treasure chests and found a secluded yet spacious place to continue opening them.
However, Lu Hai Kong's preparations turned out to be unnecessary, as none of the three legendary treasure chests contained anything of significant size.
Unlike the golden chests, Lu Hai Kong didn't treat the legendary treasure chests casually. After all, the necklace he wore around his neck was obtained from opening a legendary treasure chest, and no one knew what incredible items these chests could yield. So, with great anticipation, Lu Hai Kong opened the treasure chests one by one.
The first legendary treasure chest' was quickly opened, and apart from a more pleasing sound than the golden chests, Lu Hai Kong was expecting ability points. He had opened several chests before and always received a free ability point, but this time, after waiting for a long time, none appeared.
"I thought every legendary treasure chest would have ability points. It seems they are either random or have a maximum limit. Never mind, I won't bother with it." Lu Hai Kong decided to add any ability points he obtained to his Command attribute. If there were none, so be it. He turned his attention to the items obtained from the first legendary treasure chest.
"Huh? It's a legendary-level axe and a set of legendary-level armor?" Lu Hai Kong was taken aback.
Before Lu Hai Kong appeared an axe with a striking design. Its handle was three meters long, and its entire body was covered in a rough yet imposing anti-slip carving pattern. The axe blade was nearly a meter long and half a meter wide, making it look both massive and impressive.
Next to the axe was a set of armor with a relatively low-key design.
Lu Hai Kong briefly admired the items before casting two Appraisal Techniques.
Mountain Splitter Axe
Quality: Legendary
Requirements: Mastery
Weapon Skill: Mountain Splitting Power
Mountain Splitting Power: Active Skill, consumes 500 internal force. After use, it can unleash an attack with ten times the user's strength.
Heavy Mountain Armor
Quality: Legendary
Requirements: Mastery
Equipment Skills: Mountain's Might, Mountain's Defense
Mountain's Might: Passive Skill. When equipped, it automatically deflects arrows shot by soldiers below the Excellent rank.
Mountain's Defense: Active Skill, consumes 500 internal force. It can defend against a certain level of attacks and reflect them back at the opponent.
"Well, Pan Feng is in for a treat."
In the entire fort, only two people used axes as weapons: Lu Hai Kong and Pan Feng. Now that Lu Hai Kong had a legendary-level Savage Wilderness Axe, this Mountain Splitter Axe was naturally meant for Pan Feng.
As for the weapons, Lu Hai Kong had already given them away, and it was unlikely that he would keep the armor for himself.
"Speaking of which, I think Pan Feng is the luckiest one this time. He's comfortably nestled in his fort without even needing to step out, and I went out once and brought him a group of advanced-tier troops, a legendary-tier weapon, and a set of legendary-grade armor. This guy's luck is really enviable."
Lu Hai Kong said with a smile, then put down the Mountain Splitter Axe and Heavy Mountain Armor and prepared to open his next treasure chest.
The first legendary treasure chest opened a set of legendary-tier equipment, and Lu Hai Kong's luck was considered average. It was much better than the last time, so he was even more hopeful that he could get something good this time.
The second legendary treasure chest was quickly opened, and this time, Lu Hai Kong still didn't get any free ability points. This basically confirmed that the number of free ability points one could get from legendary treasure chests was limited, and Lu Hai Kong had probably exceeded that limit.
Although it was a bit disappointing not to be able to gain ability points, the true value of the legendary treasure chest was the items it contained. This legendary treasure chest had given Lu Hai Kong something so amazing that he forgot what disappointment felt like.
Recruitment Notice
In the 169th book, I took a look at the wrong version!
Item Type: Consumable/Territory Item
Item Effect: After use, it can attract talents from within the three provinces.
Within the three provinces, there is no limit to the type, number, or region of talents.
Note: If the user is unable to recruit the talents, those attracted will leave as soon as possible...
Usage Conditions: 1 million gold coins
"This... isn't this just an upgraded version of the Recruitment Order?" Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed as he saw the Recruitment Notice, and an uncontrollable joy spread across his brows.
The effect of this item was much stronger than the Recruitment Order. The Recruitment Order could attract at most one or two people, and the type of talent was restricted. It was either a special talent, a military commander, or a civil official. But this Recruitment Notice, with a single use, had the setting of 'no limit to the type or number of talents,' which was a much more generous setting compared to the Recruitment Order.
"Use it! Use it immediately!" Lu Hai Kong didn't hesitate and used it right away. As for the usage condition of 1 million gold coins, this guy didn't even give it a second glance; he was incredibly wealthy.
"You have successfully used the Recruitment Notice. Within the next seven days, talents from Bingzhou, Ji Province, and You Province will head towards Qiang Yin.
They will stay in Qiang Yin for a week. As a wise and decisive lord, please identify the talents among the mediocre ones."
Lu Hai Kong originally thought that the Recruitment Notice and the Recruitment Order should have the same effect. He was prepared for talents from all directions to come and bow to him, but the system gave him this twist.
"What does this mean? Does this mean that if I can't find any talents, they'll just leave?"
Lu Hai Kong faintly smelled a trap. At this time, Qiang Yin was filled with refugees from all directions, numbering over two to three hundred thousand. With so many people, how easy would it be to find a few talents among them?
