Chapter 398: Kindness and Power
Guo Hao looked at the talent bonuses of several people and sighed inwardly, thinking that it would be difficult to win in the team competition.
"Everyone should know my talent, it's the gift of the sun. I'll let you feel it this time." After calming down, Guo Hao began to introduce his talent.
The shadow of a three-legged golden crow rose into the air behind him, and a golden light spread out. Everyone in the audience felt the warmth of the sun.
"It reaches its limit at noon, and then starts to decline. It also provides blessings at night, but the effect is only half of that during the day."
Under the catalysis of national destiny and fate, Guo Hao's talent has now undergone many evolutions. Not only can he provide a stable blessing from the sun, but he can also use the sun in nature to provide a fluctuating blessing.
It’s not that Guo Hao doesn’t understand revolution and rotation, but the general cognition of sentient beings limits him.
If one day he could change the mindsets of all the people of the Han Dynasty, and everyone knew that day and night were just caused by rotation, then at that time his talent would be able to provide double the blessing of the sun even at night.
However, that thing was destined to be a long and endless process. At least the people of the Han Dynasty had not even started to learn literacy, let alone other advanced natural sciences.
The players present also felt the blessing of Guo Hao's talent for the first time, because the bonus effect provided at noon was really exaggerated.
"Duang, duang, duang." Li Lan knocked on the golden clothes on his body. From the recoil force on his hands, he could see how terrifying the defense of this thing was.
The effect of his talent was instantly reduced to rubbish, and Li Lan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Is this the strength required to become the final winner of three events? It's a bit too despairing!" Li Lan said this, but there was no trace of dejection in her eyes.
Chasing the strong and surpassing the strong, isn’t that the greatest pleasure!
The other players had different expressions, but only a few were completely subdued by Guo Hao. After all, they were all elite players who had fought hard on the battlefield. Even if they were shocked by Guo Hao's talent, talent alone was not enough to make them completely surrender.
"This competition is of great importance. I hope everyone will remember that with great ability comes great responsibility. If anyone cheats or acts slyly, we will definitely settle accounts with them afterwards. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Guo Hao felt helpless after hearing the sparse responses. He looked around and saw that most of the players had an unyielding light flashing in their eyes. It seemed like they were doomed.
"What a trouble! They are all unruly troublemakers!"
Seeing that intimidation failed, Guo Hao immediately changed his approach - bribery.
"This competition is of great importance. Players with outstanding performance will be rewarded by the country. At the same time, as a general of the Han Dynasty, I will also provide tailor-made rewards for outstanding players, including but not limited to official positions and equipment." Guo Hao said in a deep voice.
This time most of the players were excited. We are all players after all. If you had talked about the money earlier, this matter wouldn’t have been so awkward!
"Dragon Head, can we ask the gods to guide us?" a player asked immediately.
"Okay, but I'm only providing you with the opportunity. Whether you can learn it and whether the general is willing to teach you is your own business." Guo Hao nodded.
The God Generals were created by the majority of netizens who don’t have a place in the game, and are basically similar to a list of merit.
Because it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the list ranked twenty-four generals, and they were called the Twenty-Four Divine Generals.
Of course, the top of the list is Lu Bu, followed by Zhao Yun, and then Xue Rengui. As for poor Dian Wei, he has been ranked fourteenth.
There is really no battle record. The only record that can be shown off is the battle scene of the Nine Cauldrons taken by players. The scene of killing a powerful immortal cleanly and neatly can still reflect the combat effectiveness.
It goes without saying that Lu Bu is the recognized number one general. When netizens dug up the news about Lu Bu's selection among the eight schools in Xiyuan and learned that Lu Bu could fight everyone single-handedly, Lu Bu's number one position became completely unshakable.
Zhao Yun is ranked second purely because of his popularity. Zhao Yun does not have any special achievements in battle, but he is still ranked second.
The third is Xue Rengui, mainly because of his style in the battle of Youzhou and the plot in which he defeated Yeon Gaesomun and won glory for the country, which is very popular among netizens.
Next came a series of Youzhou battlefield generals including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Gongsun Xu, who collectively rose in the rankings thanks to the influence of the national war.
The worst was Ma Chao, who rarely appeared on the list and fell directly out of the list, becoming the only one of the Five Tiger Generals to be kicked out of the list.
Although these netizens cannot influence the generals in the game, the players in reality are inevitably influenced by this public opinion and gradually accept this statement.
For the second-top players, what they value is individual combat ability. If they can get guidance from these top generals, their strength will be further improved, and their status in the Dragon Group will also be further improved.
The players who received Guo Hao's affirmation quickly burst into a certain enthusiasm. Even players like Bai Wushang were no exception. He was a disciple of Xue Rengui, but if he could learn a few moves from Lu Bu, wouldn't his strength be greatly improved?
“Finally it worked!”
Guo Hao, who was quite tired, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the excited players. He had used all means of coercion and inducement, and finally mobilized the enthusiasm of these players and united their strength. He believed that no one would deliberately hide their shortcomings by then.
The number of players has no impact at this stage, but the future development trend is hard to say. Guo Hao has no way of predicting how far a group of players can go. After all, it is the decision made by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The players on Blue Star should be very useful in the later stages.
"Longtou, do you have any other questions?" The secretary who returned to the office was also good at observing people's expressions and could see the worry on Guo Hao's face at a glance.
"The strength of other countries is quite strong, and the situation in the team competition is not optimistic!" Guo Hao said with a frown.
As the selections in each region have come to an end, the information of the participating players in each region has been almost collected.
The favorites to win the championship are players from the Parthian Empire and the Kushan Empire. The former has experienced a lot of wars in the war of attrition with Rome, and the death rate of low-level players remains high, but the strength of high-level players should not be ignored.
All of that was built on the corpses of countless barbarians. On the contrary, the main battlefields of Great Britain and the Holy Roman Empire were large-scale legion battles, and the player's strength did not improve significantly.
The hands of every high-ranking player in the Parthian Empire are stained with the blood of European barbarians, and every one of them who has killed thousands of people is too embarrassed to say hello to others.
