Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 770: Empire unification?

"["Teaching" ended, and through the feedback from the "teaching," you have altogether gained 2000 points of combat experience.]

As the saying goes, the master leads you into the door, but the practice is up to the individual.

More advanced specializations for players are more like a kind of skill, where the main thing learned is a qualification for practice.

...

[Through observing the demonstration of a master, you have successfully mastered the tricks of practicing a higher-level specialization ability. Light Firearms Specialization experience +1000, from now on, you can continue to enhance the level of Light Firearms Specialization through normal "practice" up to level 10.]

The moment Dai Lian received the prompt, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If he didn't stop now, there wouldn't be enough experience left.

Who knows if this thing would also be level-locked at higher levels?

"Keep up the good work," Bai E said with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Try to enhance your strength as much as possible recently. Coming up, there's an even more important task that may be entrusted to you."

If his plan to seize control of the city were indeed successful, then it would be essential to replace a number of key positions with people he could trust.

Although players were not very reliable, these few who had been following him all this time were well-understood.

The special military troop included in the plan could perhaps be moved up the agenda.

As soon as Dai Lian heard there was an even more important task, his face flushed red, and he subconsciously snapped to a crisp salute on the spot, "Understood! My lord!"

"If there's nothing else, get busy," Bai E waved his hand, watching Dai Lian walk away.

Not long after Dai Lian left, Bai E received a request from the person in charge of the town's defense force: "My lord, a person claiming to be a doctor from Grey Iron City wants to see you. We stopped him outside the town. He brought at least two hundred men in black, strange fellows. Do you want to meet them?"

'Doctor?'

What does he want with me?

Is it about Nova?

With a thought, Bai E agreed to the request: "I'll be right there."

Outside the town's roadblocks, a tall, old man stood under the blazing sun, waiting patiently.

But as he looked at the completely mechanized metallic town before him, he couldn't help being somewhat astounded.

The change here... was far too great.

Since he learned about the connection between Nova and Bai E, and that Bai E had ties to this small town, his people had been observing the town from a distance in secret.

He had seen the photos of the town's initially desolate state.

And now... it had turned into a fully industrialized city of machinery!

He certainly knew that the residents of this small town were mostly rebels who had fled from his Grey Iron City, but did those rebels have this ability?

No!

If they had this kind of ability, could they have been oppressed to the lower levels in Grey Iron City? Would they have ended up being driven out of the city?

It was that kid who had taken Nova away who completed this kind of construction from nothing!

This level of transformation, even with the entirety of Grey Iron City's power, would be difficult to achieve in a short time.

By such a comparison, could it be that this kid's ability alone could match their entire Grey Iron City?

Or perhaps...

"If I had known intelligences were so easy to bully, would I have waited for him?" A leader of the small team in black raincoats nearby said with some envy.

"..." The doctor glanced at him, "Has the transformation damaged your brain too?"

If intelligences were that easy to bully, the map of the world would have cleared these things away long ago, clean and tidy.

"He's coming," another man in a black raincoat, a transformed person, spotted the target walking out from the town earlier than others.

Most of them had already committed to memory the features and intelligence on Bai E.

"Hmm," the doctor hummed softly, waiting quietly for the other's arrival.

Seeing the white-haired old man from a distance, Bai E quickened his pace a bit more and soon came face-to-face with the man, asking with a puzzled look, "What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

For Nova? It wouldn't warrant such a grand display.

As for other matters? There didn't seem to be any connection between them.

Even though Bai E had some disapproval of the way things were inside the other's city, they were ultimately too far removed, with no right or ability to interfere.

"Let's find a quiet place, just the two of us to talk," the doctor suggested, looking around before taking the initiative to speak to Bai E.

"...Okay."

After instructing those combatants in black raincoats to stand by where they were, the doctor followed Bai E to a secluded room within the town.

This was a house specially constructed for Bai E by the residents of the town, in case Bai E arrived without a place to stay. Although it was usually vacant, it was always clean and tidy, with all the necessary furnishings and items.

"Can we speak now?" Bai E asked calmly after they were seated.

"Has the messenger from the imperial city made contact with Blackwater City?" The doctor directly cut to the chase unlocking the purpose of his visit.

Although he came out with the thought of supporting Bai E, he also intended to temporarily avoid the inquiries of those imperial couriers. He wanted to probe the intentions of Blackwater City from Bai E's mouth before making a decision.

In his view, no matter what Bai E's previous status was, now having revealed his strength multiple times, if the people of Blackwater City weren't fools, then Bai E would definitely be in a high position now.

A person in a high position could hear more confidential news, which made sense.

Seeking out Bai E meant to learn Blackwater City's response to the imperial city's letter.

Since the two cities were close, maybe they could make some joint decisions on certain matters, which could at least increase their leverage without being swept away by the tide."
