From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 20 Beta Test Players
A player with the ID "Little Rookie" left a message below.

"Generally speaking, basic soldiers have their own offensive and defensive weapons. For example, the accuracy and power of the bows of archers, the power of swords and shields, and the defensive power of shields. Within the corresponding level, the proficiency and power of weapons will have maximum and minimum values."

"The minimum value is when the troops of the same level have just been upgraded, and the maximum value is when the troops of the next level are about to be upgraded."

"Within this level, you can only upgrade to the next level if you have reached the highest level in all aspects."

All the players looked confused.

"???"

"Why do I know every word but not all of them together?"

"Boss, what does this mean? Please give me some advice."

"This is a reading comprehension question. Boss, your meaning is very simple. Even soldiers of the same type and level can be strong or weak. For example, archers among the primary militia can be strong or weak in their proficiency in using bows and arrows. So when two soldiers of the same level fight each other, it's not that both sides will suffer losses. Instead, there will be a winner!"

"I see, I understand!"

Novice: "Good analysis, that's what I mean. This is also the way to upgrade the militia, so let your NPCs use their own weapons more often to increase the speed of upgrading."

"One thing you need to pay attention to is that militia NPCs can only be upgraded to high-level militia at most. Each upgrade process will be very difficult. It depends not only on the NPC's qualifications, but also on luck. So instead of studying militia NPCs, it is better to think of ways to recruit generals in the future!"

When Ning Mengya saw this popular science post, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems that Zhuge Liang is indeed a special NPC! Otherwise, it would not be so easy to upgrade to an intermediate militia. But what disappointed Ning Mengya was that Zhuge Liang could only be upgraded to a senior militia at most.

Someone asked doubtfully: "Is it impossible to train militiamen into military commanders?"

Little Rookie: "No way. At least, I haven't seen this possibility in my entire game so far!"

"You know, Wending is a game set in the Three Kingdoms, so the generals and counselors are destined to be the focus of this game, and the NPCs are just assisting them."

A familiar ID appeared again.

The real hammer on all the pretenders: "You seem to have been playing this game for a long time. Everyone else is just trying to figure it out. Why do you speak so confidently?"

Novice: "Because I'm a beta player."

"???"

"? This game still has beta testers?"

"Fuck! How come I haven't heard of this? Since you are the beta testers, how can we play? You are so far ahead of us, and you are still playing tricks? Just decide the tens of millions of bonuses, right?"

Novice: "No, the beta testers just started playing earlier than you. For the villages that survived the bandits during our novice period, the game will automatically seal up three months of development time, which is the three-month novice period for you to develop."

"In other words, we are all starting from the same starting line."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved.

But soon people started posting.

"Boss, I want to ask if the bandits are difficult to deal with after the novice protection period ends?"

Novice: "It's hard to deal with them. Their strength is generally that of a mid-level militia. If you're unlucky, you might encounter a high-level militia. But don't worry, there won't be any military commanders, so even if you have a ninth-rate military commander, you can safely survive the first wave of bandit attacks after the novice period."

Lemon Duck: "What if I also have a mid-level militia?"

Novice: "It's still difficult, because the other side will be equipped with a bandit with the strength of an intermediate militia, and four subordinates with the strength of a primary militia." "And there are also differences in strength between the bandits with the strength of an intermediate militia and your intermediate militia NPCs. There are differences in force value, weapons, defense, etc.

"Even if your mid-level militia NPCs are on par with the bandits, can you guarantee that you have four other militia NPCs in your territory?"

Seeing this, Ning Mengya became a little nervous.

After all, she only has one intermediate militia NPC, Zhuge Liang, and one junior militia NPC, Wang Da, who is a javelin thrower!

This configuration is definitely no match for bandits!
Moreover, it is not possible to train another four militia NPCs because the time is too short!
"Boss, can we make a deal with the bandits? How much money do bandits usually need to satisfy their appetite?"

Novice: "Not sure, some bandits may only want 10 to 20 silver coins, while some with bigger appetites may want 30 to 50 silver coins."

"Moreover, trading with them can only guarantee the safety of your village temporarily. These bandits are like vampires and will come to your village to plunder your money at any time. So in the end, you have to defeat these bandits no matter what!"

Looking at so many silver coins, all the players were shocked.

Most players have this money, but the problem is that they still need to recruit new NPCs to expand the village! This also requires coins!

So they need to keep some money to ensure that they can recruit more NPCs!

"Designer Sima! How can we play this?"

"Amazing! This depends on the player's own wisdom. How can they maximize their own interests, avoid being massacred by bandits, and survive until the village grows stronger."

"It's already so difficult at the beginning, how can I play in the future? My multi-million bonus, wuwuwu!"

……

Zhuge Liang has no restrictions on his professional military branch, and his skill column is equivalent to the weapon proficiency and power of other NPCs and generals.

This is different from other NPCs. As long as his skill points are added to the intermediate level, it is the highest level of weapons used by intermediate militia! The proficiency and power are both the highest at this level!

Therefore, at the same level and with the same type of troops, Zhuge Liang is invincible.

However, different types of troops will have different results in the attack. There are many factors to consider in large-scale wars, such as the right time, place, people and so on. It is no different from reality and cannot be judged by the strength of military force!

In-game.

Zhuge Liang, Wang Da and others continued to hunt, cut down trees, and plant trees to acquire resources.

Ning Mengya logged into the game worriedly and checked her panel.

【Lord】: Lemon Duck

[Fief]: Dameng Village (Level 1 Village)
【Members】: 3 civilians, 2 militiamen
[Buildings]: Barracks (secondary), Hospital (primary)

【资源】：木柴*100、粮食*70、野兽*103、金币0、银币0、铜币0
【交易市场：木柴1=2铜币，粮食1=3铜币，小型野兽1=5铜币，大型野兽1=20铜币】

She roughly calculated that if all the resources were exchanged for silver coins, there would only be more than 20.

If you encounter a non-greedy bandit, you can still deal with it, but if you encounter a greedy bandit, you are doomed.

There are only twelve days left until the end of the novice period. What should I do?
