Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Zhang Heng's exceptional oratory skills could increase the success rate by 30%, making him the perfect candidate for this task.

Wu Feng went through the matter in his mind and felt that it was about time, so he closed the management interface.

He sat cross-legged on the chair, closed his eyes, and his mind stirred slightly.

The Nine Yang True Qi in his dantian surged and flowed slowly along his meridians.

The warm internal energy flowed like golden streams through my limbs and bones, gradually washing away the fatigue of a night's battle.

At the edge of the field of vision, a pale gold system notification steadily popped up—

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +336]

One week, two weeks.

The vital energy circulates in the meridians, becoming increasingly condensed.

Less than half an hour after they started cultivating, footsteps came from outside.

Wu Feng finished his practice and opened his eyes.

Zhang Heng pushed open the door and bowed, saying, "Boss, Mu Lingyun and the others have arrived."

Wu Feng nodded, stood up, and walked to the door of the study.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard.

Mu Lingyun stood at the very front.

Han Yufeng stood on the other side with Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao.

Li Fu stood behind Mu Lingyun, and Zhang Heng followed him out of the study and stood next to Wu Feng.

There were also a few men who looked like junior leaders standing in the back row; they were all men who had performed well in the battle today.

Wu Feng glanced around and said, "Come in, all of you."

A group of people entered the study and stood in two rows.

The study wasn't large, and it felt a bit crowded with a dozen or so people squeezing in, but no one spoke; they waited quietly.

Wu Feng sat down in the main seat and first looked at Mu Lingyun.

"Mu Lingyun".

"Yes." Mu Lingyun stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"From today onwards, you will serve as a military advisor, responsible for recruiting soldiers and training new recruits," Wu Feng said. "Li Fu will be your adjutant, and the two of you will work together."

Mu Lingyun nodded: "Yes, Chief."

Li Fu, standing behind, quickly followed suit by clasping his hands in greeting.

Wu Feng then looked at Han Yufeng.

"Han Yufeng".

Han Yufeng stepped forward and clasped her hands in greeting.

"You will also serve as the commander of the secret service," Wu Feng said. "You will be in charge of gathering intelligence, along with Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao. You must report any movements from the Liao Kingdom and the situation in the surrounding counties in a timely manner."

Han Yufeng answered crisply, "Yes, Chief."

Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao nodded in agreement as they followed behind.

Wu Feng paused, then added, "Just tell Zhang Heng what you need."

Zhang Heng nodded hurriedly from the side: "Your subordinate will definitely cooperate."

Wu Feng looked at the others and waved his hand: "Alright, everyone go back to work. Those who need to train should train, and those who need to gather intelligence should gather intelligence."

A group of people clasped their hands in a salute, then turned and walked out.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the study fell silent.

Wu Feng stood up, walked into the courtyard, and stretched his wrists.

The sky was already turning a pale white, and the morning light shone through the eastern city wall, illuminating the stone slabs in the courtyard.

He had just reached the door when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

The sounds were dense; a group of people was approaching quickly.

Wu Feng stood at the entrance of the governor's mansion and looked outside.

At the other end of the street, a group of people on horseback were coming this way.

The leader was Li Hu, followed by fifty players, and then Xiong Batian and his gang.

The horses were carrying a lot of things; some were covered with armor, some with swords and spears, and several horses were carrying bulging bundles.

A group of people arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion and reined in their horses.

Li Hu rolled off the bed, his outfit covered in dust, with dried bloodstains on his sleeves.

He saw Wu Feng and nodded: "Wu Changfeng."

Xiong Batian jumped off his horse, grinned, and shouted in a gruff voice, "Boss!"

Chang Kun and Mei Ruolan followed behind, both with bruises, but none serious.

Wu Feng glanced at the cargo on the horse's back and asked, "Did you capture it from the military camp?"

Li Hu nodded: "I'll lead my men to take down that military camp on the east side."

He paused, then added, "There were quite a few spoils of war. More than 280 horses, more than 600 weapons, more than 80 sets of armor, more than 400 units of grain, and a quantity of medicine and supplies."

After listening, Wu Feng nodded.

With both military camps destroyed, the Liao forces surrounding Yingzhou City were completely wiped out.

The city is now entirely in his hands.

"Let's go inside and talk." Wu Feng turned and walked into the governor's mansion.

Li Hu followed, and Xiong Batian had his men tie up the horse before following them inside.

A group of people entered the study and each found a place to sit down.

Wu Feng briefly explained the current situation—the city has been captured, and resources are sufficient, but the Liao Kingdom has its eyes on it, and retaliation is only a matter of time.

After listening, Li Hu remained silent for a moment before saying, "I'll log off for a bit and report the situation to the research team. Let them study how the city should develop and how to deal with the Liao Kingdom's retaliation, and come up with a plan."

Wu Feng nodded: "Okay. There's one more thing, report it as well."

"What?"

"The price of occupying Yingzhou City," Wu Feng said, "is that Liao's favorability towards us has plummeted to that of mortal enemies, we're wanted across the board, and a bounty has been placed on our heads. A large Liao army might come to attack later. Let them figure out how many troops Liao will send and how long it will take to arrive."

Li Hu's expression turned serious, and he nodded: "This is indeed important, and I will explain it clearly."

Wu Feng continued, "Furthermore, I plan to take over the surrounding counties as soon as possible. By controlling these areas, we can gather talent and resources and develop rapidly. Otherwise, when the Liao army arrives, a single isolated city won't be able to hold out."

After listening, Li Hu nodded again: "I'll report this too. Let's see if the research group has any suggestions."

Wu Feng hummed in agreement, opened the official rank interface, found the "join the army" section, and filled in Li Hu's name.

A prompt appeared on the screen: "[Do you wish to appoint Li Hu as a judicial officer?]"

Wu Feng clicked "OK".

A flash of white light appeared on Li Hu's body, and a line of small characters appeared above his head: "Judicial Military Service".

He paused for a moment, glanced at the words above his head, and then looked at Wu Feng.

"I've arranged a spot for you," Wu Feng said. "It'll be easier if anything comes up. You go ahead and get busy; we can talk again when we meet after I log off."

Li Hu nodded, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and turned to lead the fifty players out of the study. The sounds of footsteps and horses' hooves gradually faded into the distance.

Wu Feng turned to look at Xiong Batian.

Xiong Batian was leaning back in his chair when he saw Wu Feng looking over, so he quickly sat up straight.

"Xiong Batian".

"exist!"

Wu Feng opened the official position interface, clicked on the City Defense Captain column, and filled in Xiong Batian's name.

Should Xiong Batian be appointed as the garrison commander of Yingzhou City?

Sure.

A flash of white light appeared on Xiong Batian's body, and a line of words appeared above his head.

He glanced down at his chest, then looked up at Wu Feng, grinning, "Thanks, Boss!"

Wu Feng said, "You will take Chang Kun and Mei Ruolan and be in charge of the city's defense. The city gates, walls, and patrols are all under your jurisdiction."

Xiong Batian patted his chest and said in a gruff voice, "Don't worry, Chief, I guarantee I'll defend the city to the death!"

Chang Kun and Mei Ruolan followed behind, clasping their hands in response.

Wu Feng waved his hand: "Go ahead."

The three stood up, bowed, and turned to leave the study.

The footsteps echoed in the corridor for a while, then gradually faded away.

The study fell completely silent.
