Chapter 718: Meng Tian's Attribute Growth Template
September 25, 2017
[Congratulations! You have obtained a random reward of a Pre-Qin Historical General Template. Do you want to claim it?]
It wasn't until the system notification sounded that Lu HaiKong finally believed the system wasn't toying with him this time, directly sending this quest reward his way.
However, Lu HaiKong, who had yet to claim the general template, dared not get too excited, lest he jinx it and the system give him a regular Pre-Qin historical general template instead.
Determined to secure the reward, Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate and immediately chose to claim the Pre-Qin historical general template.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the attribute growth template of the Pre-Qin general Meng Tian!]
As the system notification sounded, a token appeared before Lu HaiKong, and his gaze fixed upon it, revealing all its attributes at a glance.
General Template Token (Meng Tian)
Attribute Growth Limit:
Strength: 99, Politics: 85, Strategy: 80, Command: 90
Note: This template is based on Meng Tian's peak period.
Ps: This template has certain usage conditions:
1. The template can only be used for Data NPCs.
2. The user of the template must be a newly created Data NPC without any intelligence.
When Lu HaiKong saw this template, his eyes lit up. No wonder it belonged to a top Pre-Qin general; its attributes were exceptionally formidable.
However, upon reading the two usage conditions, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but frown slightly. With these conditions, it meant he would have to personally cultivate this top-tier general from scratch.
This was slightly troublesome for Lu HaiKong!
But for a top-tier general, especially one with both strength and command, Lu HaiKong was willing to endure the hardship.
Without further hesitation, Lu HaiKong stood up and returned to the mountain bandit camp, where he recruited ten bandits. Due to the template's restrictions, Lu HaiKong could only apply it to one of these bandits.
To his slight surprise, his luck seemed to be quite good. Among the ten ordinary bandits, he managed to recruit a bandit chief.
This was interesting; Lu HaiKong had clearly encountered the 0.5% chance. Bandit ranks didn't have 'Elite' or 'Superior' distinctions; they either directly advanced to 'Mountain Bandit Saber Fighter' (Elite) or became bandit chiefs. The one Lu HaiKong recruited had better luck and became a bandit chief.
Lu HaiKong called the bandit chief over for a closer look.
He discovered that due to being recruited and promoted, the bandit chief had the attributes of a chief but was otherwise a blank slate. He had no martial arts techniques, no mastered combat skills, and not even his intelligence had been activated.
This was the perfect opportunity for Lu HaiKong to use the template. Without hesitation, he applied the Pre-Qin historical general Meng Tian's template to the bandit chief.
[Do you want to use the Pre-Qin historical general Meng Tian's template?]
Lu HaiKong nodded, and the token in his hand suddenly shattered, transforming into a dazzling light that enveloped the bandit chief.
This was a mystical process, but it didn't take too long. After a dozen minutes, Lu HaiKong had a new talented individual under his command, one with top-tier talents who might even inherit Meng Tian's memories.
Lu HaiKong kept the bandit chief by his side and named him Meng Tian, a homophonic name.
...
While Lu HaiKong obtained a talented individual, Pan Feng was in the midst of a bitter battle.
To say it was a bitter battle might not be entirely accurate; it would be more fitting to say that Pan Feng was desperately struggling for survival!
While it wasn't impossible to fight against thousands or even tens of thousands, at least his lord had achieved such miracles several times. But damn it, Lu HaiKong's forces were cavalry with mobility advantages, and every soldier possessed the terrifying 'Bloodthirsty Rampage' trait, making them more ferocious the longer they fought.
In contrast, what did Pan Feng have?
He only had three thousand mountain bandit guards, and although they had a small city as a defensive stronghold, within that city, they also had to protect the Assembly Hall, their core. If the Assembly Hall was breached, it would mean Pan Feng's defeat.
His soldiers were inadequate, lacked mobility, and were pinned down in this small city. Pan Feng couldn't think of any reason why he could win this battle.
In fact, from the beginning, Pan Feng had no chance of victory. Even if they switched positions with Lu HaiKong, the outcome would be the same; Lu HaiKong wouldn't have a sliver of a chance either.
In the face of such an overwhelming power gap, any strategy would be utterly useless.
This trial wasn't about how Pan Feng could turn the tables in this desperate situation but about how he would perform in this war.
From the very first trial against Lu HaiKong, Pan Feng's inaction had inevitably earned him the label of a coward. Therefore, in this trial, what he should do is tear that label off.
However, at this moment, Pan Feng had forgotten all about cowardice or bravery, and even the trial itself. At this time, Pan Feng, leading his remaining mountain bandit guards, who had suffered more than half casualties, was desperately defending the Assembly Hall in the half-destroyed small city.
When Pan Feng was being tormented by Lu HaiKong, he had said more than once that once on the battlefield, even if the enemy came in tens of thousands, he, Pan Feng, would never back down.
Every time he said this, of course, he only received Lu HaiKong's ridicule and taunts.
But ridicule aside, and taunts aside, Lu HaiKong had never refuted Pan Feng's words, because from the very beginning, he knew that Pan Feng's cowardice towards him and Dian Wei was not so much a fear as it was a sign of closeness. This guy, deep down, was not a coward.
In this desperate situation, Pan Feng never once thought of retreating. With his remaining three thousand mountain bandit guards, he stubbornly resisted Bo Cai's ten thousand strong army!
In the 1619 book, Pan Feng, relying on his crude defensive fortifications and his mere three thousand men, managed to hold off Bo Cai's ten thousand strong army for several rounds of attacks.
For three whole days, Pan Feng's three thousand guards fought until the very end. Pan Feng himself, after being worn down by Bo Cai's soldiers, was finally surrounded and killed by several historical generals under Bo Cai's command, dying on the battlefield!
When Pan Feng was stabbed to death by Bo Cai's general, he realized that his consciousness, which should have died, remained clear. And the battlefield in his eyes seemed to be slowly moving away from him.
The enemy's horse neighs, the victorious shouts, and the thick, pungent smell of blood that never changed, all gradually faded away.
Pan Feng hadn't figured out what was going on yet when he found himself in that pure white space once again.
In this space, a tall, blurry figure was standing in the center, holding an axe on his shoulder.
"I watched your battle from start to finish. You fought until the very end, using up all your soldiers, and even when your life was at stake, the Assembly Hall you guarded was not destroyed."
As the man spoke, he walked towards Pan Feng, and in his deep voice, there seemed to be a hint of admiration: "From a general's perspective, I am very satisfied with your fighting style. But from a trial officer's perspective, there are some questions I must ask you!"
"Did you know from the very beginning that this was just a trial, and in this trial, you would never truly die, so you dared to fight to the end without fear of death?"
The man's question was as sharp as ever, and to this, Pan Feng hesitated for a moment before finally answering.
"If this is a battle to the death, I need to know who I'm guarding. If it's my lord's order to defend to the death, I will fight until the end. If not, I will leave before I'm completely trapped, because my lord has said that on the battlefield, we are his wealth, and without his permission, we cannot die!"
If anyone familiar with Pan Feng saw his smooth answer at this moment, they would be shocked.
Pan Feng has always given people the impression of a rough and lively treasure, making him seem like a simple and unrefined man.
To the man's two questions, Pan Feng answered both, but the man seemed dissatisfied with these answers.
"So, your previous battle was a performance? Your fearless disregard for your life, your willingness to forget everything and fight to the last man, was all just to pass the test?"
The man obviously misinterpreted Pan Feng's words, and at this moment, he seemed a bit aggressive. However, Pan Feng did not argue, but hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Yes!"
"I see!"
At Pan Feng's answer, the man's tone suddenly lightened, losing the previous aggressive dominance. The blurry face seemed to carry a faint smile.
"In that case, let's proceed with the final test!"
As the man spoke, he paused with the axe in his hand, and Pan Feng noticed that his surroundings were changing once again.
At this moment, Pan Feng didn't notice that as his environment changed, the man whispered softly: "I hope you won't end up like me, learning three..."
