Chapter 426 Subordinates: Xiaowu
The guardian Wu was stunned:
"Mr. Evil, you"
Yang Shan: "You probably haven't joined any direct lineage yet, right?"
The guardian Wu smiled bitterly:
"No, for a ground-level guardian, unless he is a genius like Mr. Evil, no elder would be interested in him."
Yang Shan: "With your current ability, when will you be able to become a Heavenly Guardian? Dou Zun is probably an unattainable luxury for you. I think you have a good character and know how to handle things, so I'll give you a chance."
The guardian Wu asked cautiously:
"Mr. Evil, are you trying to help me connect with that young master?"
Yang Shan was unhappy:
"Why, I am not qualified to accept you?"
Guardian Wu: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"
Yang Shan and Hundan are allies. Although Hundan may indeed become his support in the future, all eggs should definitely not be put in one basket.
Yang Shan also needs to lay the foundation for his future position in the Soul Palace.
Yang Shan could control his tone to be a little more arrogant:
"As a soul general, let alone the future, my current status is not much lower than that of the elder. It's a waste of your talent to follow me, right?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Evil, I really didn't mean that!"
Yang Shan deliberately didn't look at the guardian Wu again. He had already sensed that Sha Feng was heading this way, and there were many people accompanying him.
30 points of favorability is not very stable, so Yang Shan only needs to show his "strength" and let the protector Wu find a way to conquer him.
Dharma Protector Wu is the first Soul Palace character to appear in the original novel. Although he is a piece of trash in the later period, he is also an extremely oppressive boss in the early and middle periods. Even Medicine Master was captured alive by him.
The NPCs in the original novel all have some combat power and potential bonuses, so if he has to choose between the two subordinates, Yang Shan actually thinks that the Guardian Wu should be more worthy of training compared to Sha Feng.
There was a knock on the door, and Yang Shan said calmly:
"Enter!"
Sha Feng then opened the door and bowed respectfully:
"Mr. Evil!"
There were three people following Sha Feng. Yang Shan checked and found that although they were not as good as Sha Feng, they were all eight-star Dou Zong with purple characters!
And there were quite a few people standing outside the house.
Sha Feng brought three eight-star Dou Zongs in and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Mr. Evil. After I told everyone about your mission, many guardians wanted to try it. There are too many people, so I may need to trouble you to select them personally."
Yang Shan didn't think it was a big deal, but the protector Wu felt his scalp tingling after hearing it.
The guardian Shafeng is a veteran of the Guiku branch hall, a Nine-Star Dou Zong. Within the branch hall, apart from the respected elder Mugu and the guardians of his direct lineage, there are few who dare to say that their status is much higher than his!
Such a heavenly guardian was working for Yang Shan with such a respectful attitude.
Even the first thing he said was to accuse himself of a trivial crime in order to lower his profile.
In the past, I only thought that the Protector Shafeng was high and mighty.
I didn't expect that the guardian Shafeng had so much experience in being a dog!
The guardian Wu swallowed his saliva and glanced at Yang Shan secretly again.
A deep crisis arose in his heart.
I wish I could give myself two slaps.
Sha Feng, a heavenly-level guardian, is now working for Yang Shan.
He was a local protector, but faced with Yang Shan's invitation, he actually had some concerns!
How does the future come about?
You have to fight for your future by yourself!
Can you accomplish anything by being timid?
The guardian Wu immediately walked over to Yang Shan, poured him some tea, and said with a flattering smile:
"Sir, please have some tea."
Yang Shan glanced at the guardian Wu, and questioned in front of Sha Feng and the three eight-star Dou Zongs:
"Why are you pouring tea for me? Do I dare to drink it?"
The guardian Wu's heart was in his throat now. Yang Shan scolded him in person, which put a lot of pressure on him, as if he was facing an elder.
The guardian Wu simply hardened his heart and knelt in front of Yang Shan:
"My lord, I have really been in seclusion and practicing hard. I didn't know you had returned. I should have come to greet you first. I failed in my duty. Please forgive me!"
Dharma Protector Wu knew that once he knelt down, there was no turning back.
All colleagues who witnessed the incident would automatically regard him as Yang Shan's subordinate.
The guardian Wu was worried that Yang Shan would not accept it, and even used his soul to transmit his message:
"Sir, I am willing to die for you in the future. I beg you to accept me!"
[Ding! Players, please note that Wu Hufa is willing to become your subordinate. If you choose to accept, Wu Hufa's current "favorability" will be changed to "loyalty." ]
The "subordinate training section" was opened as early as version 1.2.
Many players actually have NPC subordinates.
However, the ranks of these subordinates are generally low, and their potential is quite limited, so they are not worth training at all.
Therefore, the core purpose of these players is actually to experience being “superior to others”.
But Yang Shan had never considered training subordinates before.
Because it will slow down his development in the early stages.
In addition, there are really no good training options.
The nature of "loyalty" is completely different from "favorability".
For example, Yun Yun and Ya Fei, they would definitely be willing to listen to Yang Shan’s “advice” now.
But "subordinates" obey the "orders" of their masters!
The former has self-autonomy.
A large part of the subordinates' autonomy is controlled by the "master".
Therefore, "subordinates" are included in the "training section" just like "blood-bonded beasts" and "mounts".
Dharma Protector Wu has unilaterally expressed his loyalty.
Yang Shan needs to give a response before Wu Hufa will be officially included in the "subordinate training section".
Yang Shan nodded gently:
"Alright, I am not the unreasonable person. Get up!" Wu Hufa: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Yang Shan: "From now on, just call me Mr. Evil. It sounds more comfortable."
Wu Guardian: "Yes! Mr. Evil!"
Yang Shan: “.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining a subordinate - Wu Guardian. For details, please go to the "Subordinate Training Section". ]
[Ding! Players, please note that since you responded to the Guardian Wu, the Guardian Wu is grateful to you and his loyalty is +20. The current loyalty is 55 points.]
【Duck Guardian】(Purple; Upgrade)
Level: Four-star Dou Zong
Attribute: Dark
Affiliation: Cheng E (Soul Palace)
Position: Local level guardian
Loyalty: 55
Character potential:
Extreme Speed - Five-Star Dou Zong
Limit - Eight-star Dou Zong
Soul Strength: Early Spiritual Realm
Water Spiritual Root: 35 (PS: There are many arguments in the Five Elements Theory that point to "water corresponds to black", so this article sets the dark attribute as the alienation of the water attribute, so the spiritual root performance is still water, and the alienation depends on the practice method or physique to change.)
Perception: 48
Luck: 20
[Note: Loyalty is only used as a reference. If the loyalty is less than 50 points, the subordinates may be passive or secretly disobey. If it is less than 40 points, they may betray at any time. If it is less than 20 points, they may devour their master.]
[Note: The attitude and behavior of the player towards subordinates, as well as objective factors from the outside world, will have an impact on the loyalty of subordinates. Please do not abuse your subordinates to avoid backlash.]
Yang Shan had also studied the "subordinate training section" in his previous life and was well aware of all the twists and turns involved.
To put it bluntly, this loyalty standard can be measured by favorability.
If the score is over 70, it is basically considered "loyal". If the score is over 90, it means that the person is willing to sacrifice his life for his master and is not afraid of even death.
Unless the other party really gives too much.
For example, the Guardian Wu now has 90 points of loyalty, but the Soul Hall Master Hun Mie Sheng comes and tells the Guardian Wu that if he betrays Yang Shan, he will give him resources and let him become a Douluo Saint.
The guardian Wu will definitely betray us.
Of course, this is a theoretical extreme case. Generally speaking, 70 points of loyalty are definitely enough.
Yang Shan only took a glance at the potential of the guardian Wu and already had some thoughts in his mind.
The current seal of the Guardian Wu is (purple; upgraded), which has the special bonus of the original NPC. If it is trained well, there is a great chance that it will become a golden seal in the future.
Moreover, looking at the current situation, the combat power of the protector Wu is also very impressive.
It’s easy to beat two Xiao Aotians!
Yang Shan put down his teacup, stood up, and said warmly:
"Thank you three Heavenly Guardians for your willingness to help me."
Yang Shan is now openly the direct disciple of Elder Mu Gu, and these three heavenly-level protectors do not dare to put on airs in front of Yang Shan.
"Mr. Evil is so polite!"
"We should thank Mr. Evil for giving us this opportunity!"
"Hearings are worse than meeting in person. Mr. E is handsome and extraordinary. At first glance, you can tell that he has the potential to be a Dou Zun!"
These heavenly guardians are all old-fashioned people who say different things to different people.
It's obvious that he's wearing it and you can't see through it, and you can't even see what he looks like, but he still insists on being handsome.
Yang Shan: "Please wait for a moment, everyone. I need to go outside and secure the manpower first."
Sha Feng said quickly:
"We will accompany Mr. Evil and introduce him to his colleagues outside."
When the guardian Wu saw Sha Feng's flattering face, he was so angry that his teeth were itching!
Yang Shan now has an extraordinary status and holds a lot of contribution points. He is obviously a sweet potato in the eyes of these protectors.
They all rushed to be Yang Shan's dogs.
But the guardian Wu has no good solution for the time being.
He secretly made up his mind that he must perform well in this mission!
This Sha Feng is really good at doing things.
There were nearly twenty people standing outside the private room.
All of them are earth-level guardians!
The Soul Palace’s foundation is indeed profound!
Yang Shan planned to leave 150,000 contribution points and give them to the protector Wu as an initial investment.
After all, the system stipulates that these contribution points can only be used to recruit people.
Of course, the way to exploit bugs, such as giving contribution points to the Guardian Wu first and then asking him to return them later, has long been blocked by AI Nuwa.
The worst situation might be that the loyalty of the guardian Wu drops directly below 20!
It is reasonable to use your tasks and identities to seek benefits, but if you circumvent the rules to seek benefits, you will have to pay the corresponding price.
Yang Shan promised Sha Feng 100,000 contribution points.
Three eight-star Dou Zongs, fifty thousand each.
With the remaining 100,000, Yang Shan appointed five earth-level protectors.
Including Yang Shan and the protector Wu, there are eleven people in total.
The lowest level is four-star Dou Zong!
With this lineup, let alone taking down the Lion Nether Sect.
It’s enough even if we have to go to war with Canaan College!
Thousands of elders would get their scalps tingling when seeing this lineup!
Yang Shan looked at the ten guardians standing in a row in front of him, and for a moment he felt a surge of emotion.
I have never fought such a rich battle in my life!
"Let's go, follow me to the battle!"
