Chapter 545: Chapter 298: Can the System Be Transferred to Someone Else?_2

"This thing can actually update, what the hell..." Gu Shanhai heard these words and felt that this system was seriously useless.

"Except for not being able to draw cards, the other features are pretty useful. I just tried to implement a basic national policy, and it should have started to take effect," Jiang Lu said indifferently. An update is an update, after all. Nowadays, he was not lacking in commanders. Thanks to the large number of institutions and suggestions provided by Gu Shanhai back in the day, the talent reserve and recruitment were more than enough for nationwide use.

"Moreover, it can actually assist in Daoist Soldier training. You just have to initiate the corresponding national policy, but increasing the soldier reserves at this stage is no problem." Jiang Lu quickly found another new feature.

"Speaking of which, this thing isn’t very useful for you, is it?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"It is though. I can also monitor the situation, and more importantly, it can even display the loyalty of my subordinates. Teacher, how come you’re not in there?" Jiang Lu curiously asked.

"Why don’t you think about what you call me, and then what kind of loyalty it displays in your system..." Gu Shanhai thought you little rascal are being sneaky.

Jiang Lu’s expression turned awkward, "That kind of makes sense."

He hadn’t regarded Gu Shanhai as a subordinate, so naturally there wouldn’t be a loyalty rating for him in the system.

"Damn, I found you, Teacher." Jiang Lu let out an expletive rarely used by him. He saw the long list of bonuses when Gu Shanhai took charge and was nearly blinded by the brilliance.

"Where?" Gu Shanhai was also a bit curious.

"In the heirlooms, you increase Dalong’s prosperity, bountiful harvests, and a whole series of boosts," Jiang Lu said, his demeanor one of shock. Just this condition alone could match all of the boosts he had in his hands.

"This sounds a bit like I’ve been hung on a wall to bless you. And why would I be among your heirlooms?" Gu Shanhai thought it was ridiculous.

"No worries, as long as it works. If you mind, I could even start worshipping you," Jiang Lu quipped.

"Forget it, I’m not ready to die young," Gu Shanhai immediately refused. To them, Gu Shanhai was already half in the grave, but to Gu Shanhai himself, compared to his lifespan, his current age wasn’t even "prime youth," but rather, just born.

"I actually have so many SSR cards under my command, and dozens of UR cards as well," Jiang Lu, looking at his commanders, was increasingly satisfied.

Those UR-level commanders had mostly been trained by Gu Shanhai and were all his own people.

This meant Gu Shanhai was not only a familial treasure but also a top-tier commander producer. Even if they couldn’t reach the highest level of UR, those who graduated from Gu Shanhai’s training were at least of SSR-level. Zhou Ding’s subordinates who’d been drawn from the cards didn’t have as many SSR and UR-level commanders as him.

But Zhou Ding had also managed to accumulate something over the years—the number and quality of his middle and lower-tier commanders far surpassed his own.

After all, while it might be impossible to draw high-level commander cards, how could he possibly fail to draw middle and lower-tier ones?

"Oh, that’s it?" Gu Shanhai expressed disdain. You control multiple regions of Dalong; if you don’t have even this much background, then what’s the point of being involved at all?

Hearing Gu Shanhai’s disdain, Jiang Lu’s eyes twitched. He didn’t dare to say that most of these commanders were probably of such high quality because they had graduated from Gu Shanhai’s tutelage.

Mentioning it might just give Gu Shanhai another excuse to slack off.

"After Zhou Ding’s death, Yan Country’s commanders and Daoist Soldiers lost their corresponding boosts and restrictions. With the changing dynamics, Yan Country is set to lose," Jiang Lu changed the topic.

Sometimes, restrictions aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Loyalty is a kind of restrictive measure.

However, because they were his own people and not drawn from cards, they weren’t necessarily in the absolutely loyal camp.

All the officials in Yan Country used card-drawn generals whose loyalty was unshakable, making infiltration by other countries exceedingly difficult.

The primary reason was that these generals couldn’t be bribed, and secondly, because you did not share the same origin with them, making promotion almost insurmountably difficult. Essentially, outsiders who joined had no path to advancement and were naturally ostracized.

"So, do you have other effects, like damage mitigation capabilities?" Gu Shanhai suddenly recalled something unique about Zhou Ding and asked.

"Yes, within my territory, it mitigates ninety percent of the damage, and within the main city, it’s ninety-nine percent." Jiang Lu checked and replied.

"No wonder I couldn’t make a dent in him at all," Gu Shanhai realized. Considering the ninety-nine percent damage mitigation plus Zhou Ding’s own strength as a general with a hundred thousand Daoist Soldier level, it would take the form of the World Tree to do any damage.

It was this mitigation that made it impossible for Gu Shanhai’s ’Sleeve Universe’ to pull through; after all, only one percent of his strength remained, and the Five Elements Great Escape couldn’t succeed either.

This capability could be deemed omnipotent. If Zhou Ding had been a general with a million level Daoist Soldiers, Gu Shanhai wouldn’t have been able to capture him.

"I also found the category of Zhou Ding’s hundred thousand Daoist Soldiers, called the King-level Four Ounces Taoist Soldiers. How interesting, they can be activated through national policy without the need to delve into military tactics, this is truly defying the heavens."

"These Four Ounces Taoist Soldiers may have a peculiar name, yet they excel in ’using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.’ Had I not taken matters into my own hands, just the hundred thousand under Zhou Ding’s command would be comparable to a million King-level Taoist Soldiers. They must be exclusive to the Dynasty Struggle System; I’ve never heard of any Daoist Soldiers this formidable."

Jiang Lu came across some good news and thus shared it with Gu Shanhai.

’Impressive, no wonder they could beat my Heart Demon Dao Soldiers. The ability to win with fewer numbers is among the rarest in Daoist Soldiers,’ Gu Shanhai mumbled to himself.

The grade and number of Daoist Soldiers are insurmountable chasms, and yet these Four Ounces Taoist Soldiers could break such a norm, it’s no wonder that Zhou Ding chose them as his Daoist Soldiers.

Controlling a hundred thousand to match a million, and controlling a million, are completely different concepts.

"But this system, it seems rather inflexible. Despite being capable of training Sun and Moon Daoist Soldiers myself, they aren’t unlocked in the national policy. Zhou Ding was made and unmade by the system," Jiang Lu also couldn’t help but remark.

Gu Shanhai then realized, could it be that much of Yan Country’s production capacity had been consumed by this system?

After all, the Dynasty Struggle System was the most suspicious, which is why he also reminded Jiang Lu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lu found the corresponding explanation in the Dynasty Struggle System.

"Teacher, you’re right. However, it’s not just production capacity but more accurately, national fortune. When promoting and implementing national policies, it requires allocating a portion of the national fortune for logical rationalization."

"This allows the overall national policies to operate, and those intending to obstruct or resist will be justified away; I also don’t fully understand the specific principles."

Jiang Lu frankly stated that this was a cost of the national policies, but once the policies were fully established, the allocated national fortune would be returned.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shanhai also contemplated for a moment; it seemed like there wasn’t a major issue, but even if there were, he wouldn’t be able to tell.

"So it turns out, this system must involve causality and fate, or even destiny. For such a system, the cost isn’t insignificant." Gu Shanhai could deduce quite a few clues from this feature; the Dynasty Struggle System was of extremely high value.

"Whether the cost is significant, that’s a matter for the future. Since it can’t be resolved now, might as well make use of it," Jiang Lu was quite indifferent about this. To him, whatever turmoil the system might cause in a hundred years was irrelevant; once dead, there was no point worrying about it.

Using it now seemed fitting. With the aid of the Dynasty Struggle System, Jiang Lu felt that he could unify the whole world within ten years, rather than just reclaim Dalong and rebuild the universe.

With Yan Country, the formidable enemy, gone, it was only a matter of time before Xi Country and Zhou Country would fall.
