Rebirth of the Stars

At night, at the junction of the Longshou Mountain Range and the hilly terrain.

Ning Yuan kept a cowardly look and squatted in a corner of the simple camp surrounded by seven or eight wooden panniers. While gnawing on the dry food that Scar was thrown over, while watching the group of Scars drinking and eating meat around the campfire, they listened to their talk.

Although Ning Yuan’s current status is considered a captive of this group, it may be because Ning Yuan’s performance is very honest, his personality is weak, and he is an ordinary person who has not yet cultivated, so they did not detain Ning Yuan, nor did they send someone to look at Ning Yuan. On the contrary, he threw the short gun back to him.

Also, in Ning Yuan’s eyes, it can only be regarded as a short gun that is better than nothing, and in terms of the strength of this group, it is not even a broken iron. Even if they returned the short spear to Ning Yuan, they were not afraid of Ning Yuan playing tricks. Don’t say that Ning Yuan is just a player who hasn’t practiced before. Even if Ning Yuan is a soldier-level practitioner, they don’t worry about Ning Yuan’s ability to escape under the nose of the twenty-something cultivator. What’s more, two of the chieftains are still well-known husband-level masters in their city-states.

Through the explanation of the cold-faced scout young man named Xi Scar during the day and the chattering between the group of people along the way, Ning Yuan had almost learned the information he needed.

This group of 24 people, headed by the husband-level scars and fine scars, is a city-state mercenary of a medium-sized city-state called Koka City, about nine hundred miles northwest of the Dragon Blood Forest.

The so-called city-state mercenaries are idle practitioners who have not joined the city-state military system. Most of them are used as private soldiers or guards of the city-state nobles and chambers of commerce in exchange for training resources. Work under the light.

This city-state mercenary squad, headed by Scars and Scars, is called the Scar Subsquad. It is a city-state mercenary team that specializes in monster hunting and the gray business, and is considered a small celebrity in Koka City. After all, even if it is a medium-sized city-state with a population of one million, more than 80% of the senior practitioners are basically concentrated in the city-state military system as backbones at all levels. Most of the people outside the system are some low-level practitioners at the soldier level. . Even a second-level husband-level practitioner can be regarded as a small master.

Oh, right. The upper limit of the population of a mid-level city-state is one million, generally one million. Among them, the proportion of practitioners is between 20% and 30%, which is about 200,000 to 300,000 people.

Among these two to three hundred thousand practitioners, the lowest-level soldiers-level practitioners basically accounted for 60%, that is, from 120,000 to 180,000. Eighty percent of the remaining cultivators of 80 to 120,000 husband-level and above are in the city-state army, so there are really not many mid-to-high-level cultivators above the mid-level of idle cultivators. Moreover, the practitioners of each city-state have an upper limit according to the rules except for the city-owner who is the owner of the city-state.

Generally speaking, in the city-state system of the Nieno continent, less than a thousand people are called villages, more than 1,000 people and less than 100,000 people are called towns, and more than 100,000 people can be called cities. Among the cities, half a million are small city-states, one million are medium-sized city-states, five million are large-scale city-states, and ten million are giant city-states. The population limit of tens of millions is also the final limit of a single city-state.

According to the rules, the upper limit of village-level practitioners is the soldier level, which means that as long as they become practitioners, anyone theoretically has the qualifications to become the head of a village. In the same way, the upper limit of town-level practitioners is husband-level. In theory, every practitioner who reaches husband-level also has the qualifications to become the head of a town. Then the upper limit of the cultivation base of small city states is lieutenant level, the upper limit of cultivation base of medium-sized city states is school level, the upper limit of cultivation base of large city states is general level, and the upper limit of cultivation base of giant city states is handsome.

In other words, even if it is a giant city-state with a population and resources of tens of millions, the practitioners who occupy 30% of the population can cultivate to the prestigious level besides the highest city lord, and they will be stuck by the city rules if they go up.

And because of the city’s bearing capacity, the upper limit of practitioners in each city is limited. For example, as a medium-sized city-state in Koka City, the lord Ziegel is an earth-level school-level practitioner who is about to break through the general level. According to the rules, in addition to the city lord being protected by the rules of the city knot, there can only be three prefectural school-level practitioners at the same time in Koka City. Once there are three, other practitioners will be restricted by the city rules and cannot be broken. And now, in addition to the city lord who is about to break through in Koka City, the three rank school-level places have been occupied by the city lord’s first warlord Asa and the major elder of the Main family of Koka City’s first family. That is to say, there is only the last tier school-level cultivation base in Koka City for all remaining lieutenant-level practitioners to break through. No matter who breaks through, the remaining lieutenant-level practitioners can only be stuck at the lieutenant level. Can’t make an inch.

In addition to the restrictions on the top level of cultivation, are there any restrictions on the number of practitioners of the second or the following cultivation bases?

In theory, yes. But because each city-state occupies different resources, the quota will also fluctuate to a large extent. However, in general, according to the rules, the upper limit of the theoretical practitioners in a city, regardless of size, is only 30% of the total population. If you exceed it, you can only choose to split and upgrade the city.

It is easy to understand that upgrading a city is to expand the upper limit of the population.

Diversion is actually an expansion of the population ceiling in disguise, and the method is to establish subsidiary city-states.

The establishment of affiliated city-states was the prototype of the original city-state alliance on the Nieno continent, and it was also a method discovered by the practitioners of the Nieno continent to break through the upper limit of the city’s cultivation base and the quota.

As the main city, the city-state city lord can consume resources and sacrifice to the city. The crystallization of the rules, that is, the city knot heart makes it separate the sub-junction heart that is inferior to the main knot heart. Through this kind of division heart, you can establish directly under the main city. Sub-city.

As the owner of the distracted mind, the cultivator of the city master of the divided city will be protected by the rules of distracted mind and will no longer be restricted by the quota of the main city rules, and enjoy the same unlimited breakthrough power as the city master of the main city.

To put it simply, as long as the practitioner becomes the city lord, he can ignore the restrictions of the upper limit of cultivation level and the upper limit of quota.

So as long as all the practitioners become the lord of the city, isn’t it enough? Anyway, the Nieno Continent is infinitely large and has infinite resources. It is not too good for everyone to be like a dragon.

Ok. Very real. But also very silly and naive.

In addition to understanding the basic situation of Koka City and the group of mercenary practitioners, Ning Yuan also learned from the mouth of Scarlet why he could not enter the forest during this time period.

In fact, the reason is very simple, it’s just that Ning Yuan’s realm line is not in his memory, and Ning Yuan didn’t think in that direction.

But this also explained what happened to the abnormal distribution of monsters that Ning Yuan saw in the last few days.

The tide of beasts is coming. To be precise, the spring tide is coming in two large-scale animal tides every year.

During the two months from the end of Yinyue and Maoyue to the end of Chenyue every year, monsters in various places will riot due to the arrival of the breeding season and the shortage of food. The monsters will spontaneously or passively go out of the gathering place and attack the city-state where the “humans” are located. With the tribe.

Since the overall strength and number of monsters have always been above the “human” side, each large-scale beast wave in the spring and autumn seasons of Shangyin and Lower Yin is an extremely difficult two months for the creatures of all races, except for the army. No practitioner will approach any large-scale monster gathering area at this time.

And the scars and them will appear here at this time, which can be said to be a typical example of “people dying for money and birds for food.”

From the gossip of Scar’s men, Ning Yuan probably understood the ins and outs of the matter:

Originally, for a city-state mercenary squad such as the Scar Subsquad, the two months from Maoyue to Chenyue were basically the two months when they were dedicated to internal affairs and not foreign affairs, which is commonly referred to as the mercenary off-season.

The work of fighting against animal tides has always been dominated by senior practitioners above the military and lieutenant level, and idle practitioners at the bottom can only do scrap work.

The same is true this time.

However, just when the Scars were about to idle for two months, the nobles of Koka City sent out high-priced tasks in the City-State Mercenary Guild.

Ning Yuan didn’t hear the details of the mission. It seemed that they needed the tiger bones and tiger whip of the jungle tiger. The mission was not difficult, but the demand was huge.

It is not clear what the task rewards are, but it seems that the team will pay a high price for one or two more husband-level cultivators.

Being able to pay one or two more husband-level cultivators is naturally enough to make one of the scars and the thin scars go further.

So they came to the edge of the Dragon Blood Forest three days ago.

According to Ning Yuan’s understanding, as of today, they have hunted enough jungle tigers. If Ning Yuan comes out half an hour or an hour later in the evening, perhaps the two will not encounter each other.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan could only sigh silently and say “God’s Will.”

It can indeed be said to be God’s will.

Who knew that the original encounter would become a hijack because of Ning Yuan’s player status and the fact that he did not have a household registration.

And because of this hijacking, Ning Yuan discovered a fact that had to be shocking. It is also a detail that is not in the memory of the boundary line.

That is, the aborigines of the Nieno continent seem to know the player’s existence very well, just as they know themselves.

The aboriginal people not only know the rules of the player’s arrival in the city, but also know the restrictions of the player’s choice of autonomous arrival, and even the mechanism of the player’s resurrection is also clear.

Ning Yuan believes that only by knowing the player as he knows himself can he infer that he is a brilliant student based on his own player’s identity and the fact that he does not have a household registration, and he has information about a certain chance.

This can be seen from the fact that the opponent directly asks the chance after confirming that he is a player.

Ning Yuan had an amazing guess after the other party said that there was also a glorious life in the Nieno Continent.

This speculation was confirmed by some information that I heard unintentionally, and perhaps it was closer to a certain truth.

The aborigines of Nieno are not so much aboriginals, they are more like players who entered the Nieno continent earlier than the stars.
