Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1047: The shortcomings of the long-lived race are actually fatal
When Chu Xiangqian slashed at Jingchen's sword, the heavy sword in the boy's hand slowed down slightly.

He immediately noticed that the boy's energy was indeed depleted, and with a smile on his face, he was sure that his precious son could not bear it any longer.

He turned his feet and changed into the Eight Trigrams Dragon Step, circling around Jingchen.

Now, defense becomes more difficult.

After just two or three minutes, he started to breathe heavily.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian changed from swimming to a real head-on confrontation.

Relying on his advantage in physical strength and power, he slashed with more than ten swords, forcing Jingchen to slow down and take his attack.

After fighting for more than ten moves, Jingchen suddenly took advantage of the force and retreated violently.

Panting, his heavy sword dropped to the ground, he bent slightly and shouted, "No more fighting, no more fighting, Dad, I give up."

Chu Xiangqian laughed, took a few steps back, and threw it away casually.

The elven sword in her hand flew in front of Iris, and she easily caught it and put it back into the scabbard.

Iris looked at Jingchen with some distress; this boy grew up under her care.

Moreover, she also taught most of the elves' fighting skills.

So in Iris's eyes, Jingchen is her own child.

Seeing that he was beaten by Chu Xiangqian without any ability to fight back, he was so tired that he bent over and gasped for breath.

Naturally, I felt distressed.

However, besides dissatisfaction, Iris also concealed a hint of admiration when she looked at Chu Xiangqian.

Even elf women will admire those who are stronger than themselves.

Not to mention, Chu Xiangqian is a kind person. He never punishes people around him unless they make a serious mistake.

These guards have always been loyal to him.

However, Chu Xiangqian is not without flaws.

Except for the mistress Luna, all the maids around Luna had been taken advantage of by him.

However, the lifespan of elves is so long that very few elves can remain faithful to one person.

Therefore, no one publicly criticized Chu Xiangqian for his promiscuous behavior.

But intelligent races are so contradictory.

Chu Xiangqian is a scumbag, and some people say and scold him.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't cheat on you, so this person thought he had no vision and scolded him even more harshly.

When the dwarves looked at Chu Xiangqian and his son at this time, it was as if they were looking at two giant dragons in human form.

Daven even thought that if the stone dwarves and Chu Xiangqian were enemies, he would be the only one left.

By sneaking into the Stone Pass and then suddenly attacking the dwarf leaders present, you can kill them all.

If we bring Ethan with us, with one of us making the main attack and the other making a sneak attack, it will be no problem to break through the entire wall of Stone Pass.

He thought to himself, no wonder Allison the mountain dwarf would brag about his relationship with Chu Xiangqian every time the dwarf lords gathered.

In addition to showing off, it is definitely a hint that you should never mess with this guy.

Jingchen put away his heavy sword, looked sad, and asked in a low voice.

"Dad, in your heart, how big is the gap between you and me?"

Chu Xiangqian was stunned and thought to himself, this is bad, I must not destroy my precious son’s confidence.

And after all, he is his biological son. In Chu Xiangqian's eyes, Jingchen is not only extremely talented, but also has strong fighting ability at this time.

Plus, this kid works hard, so he's a good kid no matter how you look at it.

He put his arm around Jingchen's shoulders and said with a smile, "You are already very good. When your father was your age, you could beat 10 of me."

After hearing this, Jingchen pouted, looking unconvinced.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't want to say it out loud. Before he got the cheat at the age of 19, he couldn't even beat a black bear.

Finally, it was only after his father fought desperately that he got the chance, stabbed the black bear with a hunting fork and drove the blind bear away.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and continued, "Okay, okay, there's no need for Dad to lie to you about this. When I was 15, I was indeed much worse than you.

So what you need to do now is to continue to work hard and practice. Maybe when you are 20 years old, you will be able to beat me. "

Jingchen curled his lips, feeling that his father was comforting him.

This kid was actually right. The amount of experience Chu Xiangqian needed to upgrade was ridiculously large.

But in about a year, you can still be promoted to the next level.

After 5 years, it will be no problem to upgrade to level 4.

Whether it is adding 2 points each to strength and agility, or 4 attribute points, add them all to agility.

It would be easier to beat this guy.

It even appears that it is becoming easier and easier to crush him.

Chu Xiangqian was helpless and hesitated whether to take Jingchen into the Novice Village to kill monsters and level up.

To be honest, the basic attributes of elves, dwarves and half-elves are much better than those of humans.

Basically, it's 2 to 4 points. Some people with good talents, like Jingchen, have 15 points of basic agility at the age of 5.

Constitution also has 4 points, and even though strength is a little lacking, it still has 3 points.

This alone is equivalent to Chu Xiangqian leveling up 12 levels to have the same attributes as him.

It took me 54 years and five months to upgrade to level 21.

In order to live longer, 40 points of physical attributes were added.

But even so, Chu Xiangqian still had no confidence that he could live longer than Jingchen.

The lifespan of a half-elf is far less than that of an elf.

But Jingchen's physique is already 14 points, and his life span has doubled, so I believe there will be no problem.

Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that there seemed to be no point in him having to beat him.

But on second thought, if I can't control my son, who knows how arrogant this kid will become in the future.

It would be good for this kid to be struck down appropriately.

Of course, excessive strikes are not good either.

I can live for at least two hundred years, so improving my physical condition at this time doesn't seem to make much sense.

If you encounter a creature like a dragon, no matter how strong your physique is, it will be a waste of effort if you die.

The safest approach is to increase strength and agility first, and then continue to improve physical fitness after twenty or thirty years.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian decided to increase his strength and agility to 20 points first.

The time consumed may only be ten or more than ten years.

After making up her mind, she looked at Jingchen with some pity.

I can suppress this kid now. If my strength and agility are five or six points higher than his in the future, I will be able to crush him.

Jingchen's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chu Xiangqian's gaze.

Then she curled her lips as she thought of something, thinking that her father must have always been giving in to her.

Maybe, even just now, he only used half of his strength.

Otherwise, I would be so tired, but I didn’t see any change in my dad’s breathing.

Thinking of this, the boy suddenly felt that he should spend more time on magic?

Since there is no hope of defeating my father through martial arts, I might as well put more thought and time into studying magic.

But if this kid knew that Chu Xiangqian, this cheater, was actually much more skilled in magic than in martial arts, he might just lie down.

Seeing that Jingchen was still unhappy, Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. How about I take you and your mother to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with everyone?" Jingchen was stunned at first, and then he nodded in surprise.

This kid's ideas are very different from Luna's.

No one in Stromgarde can threaten his position.

Chu Xiangqian had publicly confirmed a long time ago that Jingchen was the heir to Stromgarde.

The elves and dwarves all knew about this and acknowledged it.

Therefore, Jingchen did not feel that his brothers and sisters would pose a threat to him. Naturally, he had high expectations and good feelings towards his brothers and sisters.

Of course, this kid is only 15 years old now, which is still a child according to the age of a half-elf.

Even if we calculate it in human years, he is just a child who has not grown up.

Naturally, I don’t have as many ideas as adults.

As for the threat from the orcs, since the orcs are retreating, they might just withdraw their troops directly.

Even if the army did not withdraw, it would take more than a day or two to elect a new commander.

Chu Xiangqian flew back to Stromberg with Jingchen and the guards.

When Luna heard this, she was also excited and a little nervous.

I was afraid that Xue Jinglan and the others would not accept me.

I am also worried that Jingrong, Jingxing and others will not accept Jingchen as a brother.

Chu Xiangqian knew what Luna was thinking and said only one thing: if they didn’t get along well, they should have less contact in the future, or even no contact at all.

These words instantly made Luna ecstatic.

Years of worry were instantly reduced by half.

Without the burden in her heart, Luna seemed more positive.

If what Chu Xiangqian said was really true, it would mean that the mother and son could 'attack when advancing and defend when retreating', and the affectionate side would take the dominant position.

In order to prepare gifts, the mother and son almost took all the treasures they had collected over the years to the capital.

He packed up a lot of magic weapons and magic jewelry, after all, Chu Xiangqian had so many women and children.

You really need to prepare a lot of gifts.

Chu Xiangqian was more straightforward and chose ordinary jewelry, exquisite decorations and handicrafts.

The delicacies of Middle-earth, the fine wines of the elves, as well as the cloths and unique furs used by the elves.

This is the gift chosen.

This made Luna and Jingchen feel a little uneasy, fearing that Xue Jinglan and the others would look down on these things.

Chu Xiangqian could only comfort him in a kind voice.

Not to mention jewelry and other things, just the fabrics that can be worn on the body and keep warm in winter and cool in summer are enough to make Xue Jinglan and others happily accept them.

It is even possible that this kind of fabric could become a business with extremely high revenue.

A few pieces of fabric from top luxury goods could be sold for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands in the future.

There is no reason why fabrics like Elf cannot be as good as those luxury goods if they are properly promoted.

No, the small quantity and even uniqueness of the product mean that it is destined to be a top luxury item that only very few people can afford.

No need to even advertise.

With the network of contacts of Xue Jinglan, Margaret, Gangsheng and Feifei in Hong Kong Island and London.

Most of them are wealthy and powerful ladies who are willing to spend money on clothes and dressing up.

The productivity of the elves also means that this kind of cloth can only be sold in a small range.

Since it is scarce and really good enough, not selling it at ten or a hundred times the price would be discrimination against the wives of wealthy families.

After Chu Xiangqian said this, Luna and Jingchen began to think thoughtfully.

The mother and son have been to Blue Star many times, so they naturally know something about the situation there.

I also understood why Chu Xiangqian looked down on the output of Stromgarde.

So although the mother and son were responsible for managing Stromgarde, their desire to oppress the subjects of the territory gradually became the same as Chu Xiangqian's, and they looked down on them.

Not to mention, Chu Xiangqian would also leave some gold coins in Stromgarde from the money he earned from selling wine, weapons and ammunition to the dwarves and elves.

The silver coins earned from some transactions with human kingdoms were all left in Stromgarde.

If Chu Xiangqian wanted, he could use the silver from Blue Star to destroy the monetary system of the human kingdom.

A large amount of silver entered the human kingdom in the south for shopping, which could easily cause the silver to depreciate and the gold coin to skyrocket.

Simply purchasing large quantities of grain, wine and other grain-based goods will inevitably raise the prices of these goods.

Wait for the nobles to expand the grain-growing area, and then sell the grain in their hands at a low price.

There will be a lot of grain produced by nobles that cannot be sold, and grain prices will plummet. Not only will the nobles and merchants lose money, but their enthusiasm for growing grain will also be reduced.

Once the purchasing power of silver falls, the monetary system will be in chaos.

With unstable food production, unrest is inevitable.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian didn't have that intention for the time being, so the transaction was maintained normally.

After twenty years, gold and silver coins have filled several underground warehouses in Stromgarde.

The management of the territory will be much more relaxed than the policies of the dwarves, elves and humans.

Then attract dwarves, elves and humans into the territory. It's a virtuous circle.

Even for the sake of trade balance, Chu Xiangqian did not purchase steel and cold weapons from Blue Star.

Only purchase from dwarves and elves, otherwise there will only be imports and no exports. Over time, conflicts will naturally increase.

But even so, the strength of Stromgarde is still expanding little by little.

Fortunately, the overall strength of the dwarves and elves is also growing with the support of Chu Xiangqian.

With the presence of external enemies such as orcs and half-orcs, the balance of the three forces is maintained.

In the past, Chu Xiangqian had thought about selling food and ironware to the orcs, so that the orcs would not be defeated and the dwarves and elves would set their sights on Stromgarde.

But later it was discovered that the dwarves and elves had no interest in the land north of Stonehenge.

After the Battle of Stonehenge, even though they had such a huge advantage, the dwarves and elves did not take the initiative to attack and occupy more land.

The orcs and orcs were truly driven into the icy and snowy ice field.

Once this is done, the cold will limit how quickly the orcs and orcs can rise again.

Chu Xiangqian understood at that time why there had been wars between the three tribes for hundreds or thousands of years.

Although most of the time, dwarves and elves have the upper hand.

But the final result was that the sphere of influence of the dwarves and elves was constantly compressed southwards by the orcs.

No matter how many times the orcs lose, they will be able to recover their strength after ten or twenty years.

But every time the dwarves and elves lose, it will take them decades or even hundreds of years to recover.

The tanks of Germany and the Red Polar Bear in World War II, one is sophisticated and has strong firepower.

In mass production, quantity is everything.

The result is that even if the Tiger and Panther tanks can inflict a casualty ratio of one to five or one to nine.

But the final result was that the Tiger and Panther were too sophisticated, and their production was insufficient, so their numbers became fewer and fewer.

Of course, if Germany had not lost at sea, had not lost its source of iron ore in Northern Europe, and had not been besieged.

If you simply fight with the red polar bear, the polar bear will naturally lose.

No matter how great the numerical advantage is, there is a limit.
