Chapter 508: General Trait Insight Stone
Chapter 508: General Trait Insight Stone
September 25, 2017
Lu Haikong left without a word, his face expressionless as he walked away, not giving Lu Zhi a chance to react.
The generals in the main camp were all stunned.
The reason for today's events was entirely due to Lu Zhi's rigid thinking. He looked down on the mountain bandits and despised Lu Haikong, who had been castrated and forced into the Eunuch Party.
This was why he orchestrated this situation, wanting to force Lu Haikong into battle to help him capture Zhang Liang.
In fact, if Lu Zhi had not maintained some sense of decency, he would have resorted to even more underhanded methods to deal with Lu Haikong within his own territory.
For example, he could have tampered with the supplies of Lu Haikong's soldiers or used the medical treatment of his soldiers as a means of coercion. These kinds of tactics were countless, but he chose not to employ them.
From this perspective, Lu Zhi could still be considered upright, but in Lu Haikong's eyes, even that uprightness had its limits.
After Lu Haikong's departure, the main camp fell silent for quite some time. It took a while before the previous discussions slowly resumed.
When Lu Haikong didn't take action, they eventually decided to launch a night raid on Zhang Liang's main camp. In the end, Lu Zhi made the decision, sending Liu Bei with his two brothers and the only three-thousand-strong cavalry unit in Wucheng to attack Zhang Liang's main camp at night.
This was actually a backup plan that Lu Zhi had prepared early on. The suggestion for the night raid was originally proposed by Dantai Mingjing.
He had even brought it up before Lu Haikong's arrival, but at the time, Lu Zhi didn't dare to adopt it. However, the battle that occurred with Lu Haikong's arrival gave Lu Zhi the confidence to use this suggestion.
On the other hand, after Lu Haikong left the main camp, he went straight back to his own camp.
Lu Zhi had assigned Lu Haikong a very remote camp, and the sanitary conditions were not ideal. Just a hundred meters away from Lu Haikong's camp, there were corpses of fallen soldiers, so a faint stench of death could be smelled in their camp.
This minor inconvenience was nothing to Lu Haikong, who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He had hardly left his camp in the past three days.
During this time, Lu Haikong opened all three golden treasure chests obtained from the battle outside Wucheng.
The three golden treasure chests seemed like a set of elixir packages. Elixirs that were rarely obtained were now available in threes. He acquired the Crimson Fruit Pill, the Spirit Beast Pill, and a bottle of Minor Healing Pill.
Crimson Fruit Pill
Elixir Quality: Excellent
Elixir Description: This elixir is refined from ten years of crimson fruit, supplemented with various medicinal ingredients. It has the effect of enhancing inner strength and increasing cultivation.
Usage Range: Strength of 80.
Spirit Beast Pill
Elixir Quality: Excellent
Elixir Description: Master-level physicians refine this elixir using the inner dan of a spirit beast, supplemented with various medicinal ingredients. It can increase the growth rate of spirit beasts.
Usage Range: None.
When Lu Haikong opened this elixir, Xiao Luzizi was nearby. The guy saw the elixir and immediately came over with his horse-like face, taking Lu Haikong's medicine bottle and skillfully demonstrating how to open the bottle with his mouth and consume the medicine for Lu Haikong's viewing pleasure.
Judging from his skilled technique, it seemed he had already consumed quite a few of these elixirs.
The last bottle, the Minor Healing Pill, was Lu Haikong's biggest gain from opening the golden treasure chest. It was also the first time in two years that he had obtained a healing elixir.
Minor Healing Pill
Elixir Quality: Excellent
Elixir Description: Master-level physicians refine this elixir using various medicinal ingredients. It is primarily used to regulate internal injuries and has the effect of slightly enhancing inner strength.
Elixir Effect: Regulate internal injuries.
This small healing pill bottle contains ten pills, which Lu Hai Kong distributed to Zhao Er and Cheng Lian, who had sustained minor injuries in their recent battle.
Aside from these three Yellow Turban treasure chests, the historical generals Yan Zheng and Du Yuan also contributed some valuable items to Lu Hai Kong.
In addition to the guaranteed soul stones and secret scrolls, they also provided a General Trait Insight Stone and a Treasure Map.
General Trait Insight Stone
Item Category: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Effect: There's a 15% chance for the user to gain insight into a general trait.
Usage Requirements: Strength 80, Command 50
Lu Hai Kong was quite interested in this item. As for the Treasure Map, he took one look and dismissed it, as his current wealth meant he didn't need to go treasure hunting.
In the 61st book of the 1st bar, he found an error-free version!
As for the General Trait Insight Stone, Lu Hai Kong thought it over and ultimately decided to give it to Zhao Er.
Zhao Er had well-rounded attributes, but his general traits were slightly lacking. Lu Hai Kong wanted to cultivate him into an excellent cavalry general, and he had already entrusted the Bloodbath Legion to Zhao Er. How could he not have a decent general trait?
For the past three days, Zhao Er had been recovering from his injuries, so Lu Hai Kong hadn't given it to him yet. Today, he estimated that Zhao Er should be ready.
Indeed, when Lu Hai Kong returned to the military camp, Zhao Er was already lively and energetic, sparring with Cheng Lian.
Both Zhao Er and Cheng Lian had a strength of 83, making them roughly equal in power. Their sparring was quite a spectacle.
As they sparred, Chen Yi and the soldiers of the Bloodbath Legion gathered around to watch with great interest.
"These two guys are always up for a fight. They've just recovered from their injuries, and they're already at it again," Lu Hai Kong said with a smile, shaking his head, and headed over with Dian Wei to join the spectators.
Upon seeing Lu Hai Kong's arrival, Zhao Er and Cheng Lian's sparring intensified as they both wanted to show off for him.
However, Lu Hai Kong knew their strengths better than they did themselves. Without even watching, he knew that Zhao Er would be the victor.
Although Zhao Er wasn't a historical general, his mastery of the Vermilion Crane Spear Technique was impressive. With Lu Hai Kong's meticulous cultivation, Zhao Er's inherent Brave and Combat-Ready general trait, and a five-point boost in strength, he was more powerful than Cheng Lian.
So, after about ten minutes of fighting, the battle concluded with Zhao Er's victory.
Lu Hai Kong praised the two of them and then pulled Zhao Er aside, handing him the General Trait Insight Stone.
Using the General Trait Insight Stone was surprisingly simple. As Zhao Er held the stone, it visibly emitted a glow that was visible to the naked eye.
This glow lasted for over ten minutes, only ending when Zhao Er crushed the insight stone in his hand.
[Your subordinate, Zhao Nanli, successfully used the General Trait Insight Stone and gained the trait {Army Commanding Might}.]
"Army Commanding Might? Well, it's similar to Pan Feng's, but it's still a group-oriented trait. With both Army Commanding Might and Brave and Combat-Ready, this guy now has the basic qualifications to lead the Bloodbath Legion," Lu Hai Kong thought.
Lu Hai Kong was somewhat satisfied with this outcome, as it was a matter of luck. A 15% chance was already not bad, and one shouldn't be too picky, right?
