I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 2 Level 4

evening.

Zuo Jing took Zhao Yi back home.

The younger brother, Zuo Cheng, shakily emerged, leaning on his cane: "Second brother, who is this?"

He looked at Zhao Yi, who was so tall and strong, and felt a little scared.

Zuo Jing tried to fool him: "Just pretend you've never met the relatives who are staying at our house."

Zuo Cheng was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a chubby face and a pale complexion. Upon hearing this, he didn't ask any questions and said, "Then I'll go cook."

"You should go to bed and rest properly." Zuo Jing pulled Zuo Cheng aside and led Zhao Yi to the kitchen.

I opened the rice container and took a look.

Too bad.

The rice jar is almost empty.

He was already struggling to eat with his brother, and now there's Zhao Yi too. Although this assassin has endless energy when digging, he's not a perpetual motion machine. On the contrary, he's tall and strong, and his appetite is correspondingly large; he can eat the equivalent of three people's food.

A true competitive eater.

It's difficult to support even one of them, let alone the fact that three more assassins will be refreshed tomorrow with the level 3 Jade Remnant.

"Eating is a big problem!"

"We need to think of a way to make money."

Zuo Jing sized up Zhao Yi.

With Zhao Yi's physique, he was good at any kind of physically demanding job, whether it was working as a laborer at the dock, a boatman on the river, carrying a sedan chair, or moving bricks at a construction site.

and.

I work during the day to earn money, which consumes my physical energy.

You can dig in the dirt at night to recover your stamina.

They can work non-stop, making money and digging soil at the same time.

"Good good!"

"Miao miao miao!"

These aren't suicide soldiers, they're clearly cattle and horses!

……

This night.

It was just past midnight.

Zuo Jing was almost asleep when, in the blink of an eye, three burly men suddenly appeared in the room.

"Fuck!"

He was startled.

He immediately realized: "An assassin?"

"Sun Yi, a loyal warrior, is willing to die for his master!"

"Sun Er, a loyal warrior, is willing to die for his master!"

"Sun San, a loyal warrior, is willing to die for his master!"

Three strong men pushed over a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade, and bowed down in reverence.

The three men varied in height and build, but all were strong and healthy, and each carried a handy shovel.

"The Level 1 assassin's surname is Zhao."

"The Level 3 assassin's surname is Sun."

"Is that Level 2 assassin's surname Qian?"

Zuo Jing checked the attributes of the three newly recruited Level 3 assassins—

Name: Sun Yi

[Level: Level 3]

Physical fitness: 1.3

……

Name: Sun Er

[Level: Level 3]

Physical fitness: 1.3

……

Name: Sun San

[Level: Level 3]

Physical fitness: 1.3

……

"They're all Level 3 assassins?"

"Isn't it a 1% chance?"

"How come I'm so lucky?"

"Something's wrong."

"Is there a guaranteed level after leveling up?"

Zuo Jing was puzzled and made a note of it.

I won't think about it too much now.

He waited until this hour tonight for the new day's respawn of the assassins. He was exhausted from digging all day, and seeing the assassins respawn brought him a sigh of relief. He instructed, "You don't need to sleep anyway, so don't just sit around. Keep digging as much as you can from here."

Zhao Yi has been digging ever since he came back, and has already dug a huge hole next to Zuo Jing's bed.

Late at night.

Be in high spirits.

So weird.

At this moment, the three newly spawned assassins silently joined in, and the four of them huddled together, digging in the dirt in silence.

Ah!
Even stranger!

"Well done!"

"Don't embarrass yourself!"

Zuo Jing was very satisfied and went to sleep immediately.

What do you want to say?

Let’s talk tomorrow.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning.

Sakyo opened the panel—

Earthwork reserves: 63

"Cattle!"

I woke up to find myself leveling up again!

yesterday.

Zhao dug for the first half of the night, from 7 p.m. to midnight, digging 10 cubic meters of earth in 5 hours.

The four suicide soldiers dug together in the middle of the night. They dug from midnight until about six o'clock, and dug 48 cubic meters of earth in six hours.

Add to that the 14 earthen blocks left from yesterday, and the 9 earthen blocks consumed to refresh three level 3 assassins.

Sixty-three.

"Yes."

Bravo.

The assassins didn't slack off.

"eat first."

"Keep digging after you finish eating."

Zuo Jing was eager to advance in rank, and the money and food left at home could probably last another two or three days. There was no rush to find work.

Upgrade is the top priority.

after eating.

Zuo Jing ordered the assassins to continue digging, still at home.

You can dig this thing up anywhere.
Instead of digging randomly in the suburbs, why not dig a basement at home? It can be used for storage, hiding people, and might even serve as an escape route in an emergency.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Normally, digging a basement would inevitably be noticed by the neighbors. Not to mention, the excavated soil would have to be transported out, making it difficult to hide.

Not to mention hiring people to come and go, making it even harder to conceal.

Unless it's done secretly by family members, but that's too inefficient.

Sakyo's situation is different.

“Death squad members are free laborers; they can endure hardship and are not lazy.”

"There's also a convenient shovel; the shoveled soil can be poured directly into the gates of hell, without having to transport it out."

They quickly and secretly dug out a huge basement.

……

The tenth year of the Daye era, the second day of the fourth month.

Zuo Jing ordered four assassins to dig for a whole day, from 6 a.m. to midnight, a total of 18 hours.

One of the level 1 assassins dug 36 earthen mounds.

The three level 3 assassins each dug 42 earthen mounds.

As of 23:59 PM on the second day of the Lunar New Year—

Earthwork reserves: 225

[Current number of assassins: Level 1 (1 person), Level 3 (3 people)]

The earthwork volume has long since reached 100.
Zuo Jing didn't say a word—

"upgrade!"

Then his panel changed to—

[Host: Sakyo]

【Age: 18】

【等级：4级】（每日刷新5名死士，97%刷新1级死士；1%刷新2级死士；1%几率刷新3级死士；1%几率刷新4级死士；）

[Experience: 0/1000]

【Root bone: 100】

【土方储备：125】（1个土方可生成1个1级死士，2个土方可生成1个2级死士，3个土方可生成1个3级死士，5个土方可生成1个4级死士）
[Current number of assassins: Level 1 (1 person), Level 3 (3 people)]

[Current Function: Possession]

[Note: Assassins are also made of flesh and blood; the host must provide for all their needs, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.]

……

"Level 1, 1 assassins are refreshed every day."

"Level 2, 2 assassins are refreshed every day."

"Level 3, 3 assassins are refreshed every day."

"Level 4, 5 assassins are refreshed every day."

So it's not one more number at level one, but rather the Fibonacci sequence?

Zuo Jing had attended school in his previous life and knew that there was a sequence in mathematics: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...

Starting from the third term, each term in this sequence is equal to the sum of the two preceding terms.

It is known as the Fibonacci sequence, or the rabbit breeding sequence.

which is:
If each pair of rabbits (one male and one female) can produce one baby rabbit (also one male and one female, the same below) every month, each pair of rabbits is not able to reproduce in the first month, but from the second month onwards, they can produce one baby rabbit every month.

Assuming none of the rabbits died, we'll start with the first pair of newborn rabbits.

First month: Only one pair of rabbits;
Second month: Still only one pair of rabbits;
In the third month: the pair of rabbits gave birth to a pair of baby rabbits, making a total of 1+1=2 pairs of rabbits.

Fourth month: The first pair of rabbits gave birth to another pair of rabbits, making a total of 2+1=3 pairs of rabbits.

And so on, the numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...

"According to this sequence."

"At level 10, the Jade Remnant can refresh 89 assassins every day."

Zuo Jing's breath hitched.

This isn't invincible anymore?!
……

Broken Jade, Level 4.

It was just past midnight.

A new day dawns, and a new wave of assassins emerges.

Five brand-new, radiant assassins appeared in Zuo Jing's house.

"as expected."

"They are all at level four."

Logically, the spawn rate of level 4 assassins is only 1%, so it's impossible for five of them to spawn at once.

However, considering that Canyu refreshed three level 3 assassins at once yesterday after just leveling up to level 3, Zuo Jing guessed that after each level up, Canyu could refresh the highest level assassin the next day.

after this.

That's the probability.

"That's good!"

"Otherwise, with a 1% chance, you'd have to refresh 100 assassins to get one level 234 assassin each."

Zuo Jing was pleasantly surprised.

Open the panel of any level 4 assassin—

Name: Li Yi

[Level: Level 4]

Physical fitness: 1.4

……

"As expected, his surname is Li."

Zuo Jing guessed correctly.

He looked at the five level-four assassins in front of him, then walked to the bedside and looked down at the large and deep basement that had been dug. Inside, the four assassins who had been refreshed on the first and second days of the lunar calendar were still working diligently.

"He commands nine elite soldiers."

"I consider myself to have a strong and well-equipped force!"

Zuo Jing chuckled.

Then I started to have a headache.

He did want the nine suicide soldiers to continue digging today, but said, "If we keep digging, we'll all be eating dirt."

The landlord doesn’t have any surplus food!
Just today.

The family is about to run out of food.

"Anyway, I can't level up to level 5 even if I keep digging today, so I'll go out and earn some money to supplement my family's income."

Sakyo is smart.

Five suicide soldiers were separated to continue digging.

The other four assassins sneaked out and headed straight for the dock.

Work!
