Chapter 1148 – First Instantiation List

Through his conversation with Gaia, finally Ouyang Shuo realized the power of the A rank permission level.

In just an hour, Ouyang Shuo spent 2.5 million achievement value. If it were not the fact that he was worried about his permission level dropping to B rank, he would have spent even more.

“When there are too many good things, one just cannot stop.”

First, Ouyang Shuo spent 50 thousand to custom make two treasure swords for Song Jia and himself.

Based on what Gaia told him, the custom-made swords were as good as the Chixiao Sword and the Chunjun sword. Although there were no special effects, in terms of sharpness, hardness, and toughness. it was an absolute God Weapon in reality. The materials used were all the rarest compound matters.

More crucially, it could damage monsters on Planet Hope and breakthrough their tough skins.

Hence, it was absolutely worth it.

Following which, Ouyang Shuo exchanged for three intermediate gene bottles. Each bottle was worth 100 thousand.

In the game, a person’s stats included comprehension, bone structure, and other innate stats. To a certain extent, these stats decided the speed of the players’ cultivation.

But this was virtual and fake data after all.

True cultivation depended on real life talent, which was genes in the eyes of Gaia.

Genetics held all the information about race, blood type, growth, death, and more. It represented the proliferation of life, protein combination, and other important life processes.

Everyone’s genes were similar, except some were alive while some were dormant. The genetic medicine Gaia used was to awaken the cultivation gene in people and breakthrough the genetic lock.

Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, and Bing’er all cultivated top class cultivation methods. If they wanted to have an advantage over others in reality, using the gene medicine would help to greatly activate their talents.

Hence, this sum of money needed to be spent.

This was only the intermediate one. Based on what Gaia revealed, the advanced one had not been successfully developed yet. However, the sale of the advanced one would reach a sky-high price when it was released.

With the remaining achievement value, Ouyang Shuo decided to instantiate NPCs.

Before which, Ouyang Shuo asked Gaia a question, “After instantiating, are they still under your control?” In the game, Gaia was like a God to the NPCs.

If it was still the same in reality, it would be pointless.

Gaia gave this reply, “Each advance AI is my baby, and they are all independent lifeforms. After instantiating, I’ll cut off my connection with them.”

Ouyang Shuo kept silent. Maybe there would be a day where robots became a race on par with humans.

Without any worries left, Ouyang Shuo began to select a list of names to instantiate.

Based on the prices Gaia listed, an AI needed 500 thousand, a cyborg 50 thousand, and a combat machine five thousand.

AIs had unparalleled talent and were better than 90% of humans.

The cyborgs were good at both administrative and military matters, and their combat levels exceeded that of combat machines. In conclusion, the difference in price was worth it.

Ouyang Shuo obviously wished to make all the civil servants and generals of the dynasty AIs, but that was impossible. After all, spending 10 million points would only let him instantiate 20 people.

For the first list, Ouyang Shuo chose four AIs and three cyborgs, spending 2.15 million.

The four AIs were Jiang Shang, Baiqi, Zhang Liang, and Jia Xu.

One civil servant, one general, one genius, and one strategist. They were all great contributors to Great Xia, and they were the people Ouyang Shuo relied on the most.

The three cyborgs were Xu Chu, Shen Buhai, and Er’Lai. They were all people Ouyang Shuo trusted and needed high combat strength, making them suitable for becoming cyborgs.

As for combat machines, they were not within Ouyang Shuo’s consideration at the moment.

Instantiation was obviously not completed immediately. In particular, AIs needed a year to develop. Cyborgs needed half a year.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided to instantiate a batch of them yearly.

As for who would make the list, it would depend on their performance. After instantiating, they would be able to log onto the game and would be no different from players. They would be able to revive after death too.

And this was a way to solve the problem of NPCs being unable to revive anymore.

During the purchase period, Song Jia, Bing’er, Yu’er, and Luo’er were all moved into the room. This was the first time Ouyang Shuo had seen his kids in real life.

This kind of touching feeling that came from fatherly love was not something the game world could compare to.

Since Gaia needed to renovate the room, and the swords would take a week to make, Ouyang Shuo did not waste time and entered the game world once more.

…

After returning to the Xia Palace, Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to tell Jiang Shang and the others about the matter.

The matter of concern right now was how to face the beast siege. Gaia only gave territories three days to prepare. After three days, monster caves would spawn in the wilderness.

Hence, they needed to make good use of their time.

Wuying hall, Ouyang Shuo held a military meeting.

The dynasty’s overseas territories, be it Somalia or Morocco, had border legion corps stationed there and were not a worry.

The Grand Council only needed to order the border legion corps to strengthen their watch over the territory.

Provinces like Morocco that had a large number of combat occupation players could also help the troops clear the caves.

The only weaker one would be Liaojin Province.

The part that worried Ouyang Shuo was the core land areas of the dynasty.

Chuannan Province had the City Protection Legion Corps and the Guards Legion Corps, so it is not a worry. Minnan Province had the Tiger Legion Corps; Xiangnan and Jiangnan had the Leopard Legion Corps; the Shu Lands had the Bear and Eagle Legion Corps.

The most worrying areas were Yunnan and Lingnan province. There two were Zhili regions and only had a Garrison Division, so it would not be able to stop the beast siege.

Through the discussion, they decided to move the 4th and 5th legions of the Bear Legion Corps into Yunnan Province. The 4th and 5th legions of the Tiger Legion Corps would move into Lingnan Province.

The 5th legion of the City Protection Legion Corps would enter Qiongzhou and Yizhou Prefectures to help the local Garrison Divisions.

The Guards Legion Corps would act as the overall backup forces and would stay in the Capital City. When the monster caves spawn, they would reinforce other provinces based on the situation.

After arranging the army, Ouyang Shuo started to move his attention to the adventure gamemode players.
