All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 13 Life-Saving Skill: Four-Wheel Puzzle!
Meanwhile, Chu Xiu spoke up, informing Cao Cao of the situation: "Mengde, you should know that even if divine power disappears, the gods still possess 'supernatural abilities,' right?"

Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this.

In a situation where others would tell even if you didn't, the players didn't hide their information from the natives at all. Therefore, the lords knew about both the newbie protection and the existence of their innate abilities.

However, the former was called "divine power" and disappeared after descending to earth for three days.

The latter is simply referred to as "supernatural power"!
"One of my supernatural abilities is the ability to remotely control soldiers and provide real-time feedback, as if I had a third eye!" Chu Xiu said. "But this ability has a greater auxiliary effect; although it does provide direct combat power, it is not very noticeable."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao nodded subconsciously.

But he quickly shook his head: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Your abilities are truly remarkable!"

"Let's leave that aside for now," Chu Xiu said. "What I want to tell you now is Guo Liang's supernatural power, which can greatly enhance the strength of soldiers. The increase is quite exaggerated; under his enhancement, Qin Zhen is even comparable to Guan Yu and Lü Bu!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes widened immediately.

"If this effect were applied to Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, who in the world could stop them?"

“Even Lü Bu couldn’t stop him!” Chu Xiu said. “So, after learning about his abilities, I immediately gave a remote order for Qin Zhen to kill him, but it failed!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's expression completely changed.

"so now?"

"Guo Liang could come back at any time and have the enhanced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei kill me at all costs!" Chu Xiu said.

"You fear him, and he fears you?"

“That’s right!” Chu Xiu nodded: “He can’t detect my specific abilities, so he will guess that I have clairvoyance, clairaudience, and telepathy. Although those are not actually my supernatural powers, by using the ability to remotely control soldiers, I do have these abilities. In our area, this is called a ‘map cheat,’ which happens to counter Guo Liang. Therefore, he will definitely do everything in his power to get rid of me!”

The boost from friendly forces increases strength, and what is there to fear when you are strong?
I'm afraid of people resorting to underhanded tactics!

No matter how you interpret Chu Xiu's current abilities, they are incredibly sinister.

Guo Liang was absolutely unwilling to give him time to develop.

"Then strategist, run! Take my horse and have Cao Ren escort you back to the main camp in Yanzhou immediately!" Cao Cao said, then quickly changed his mind, saying, "No, they might intercept us on the way. Hide in the deep mountains and hold out until the 'divine punishment' ends before coming back!"

He truly didn't want to lose Chu Xiu.

A "map holder" is incredibly useful.

"Absolutely not!" Chu Xiu said.

This puzzled Cao Cao: "Why?"

“If I escape, he will surely kill you!” Chu Xiu said, “Guo Liang not only has Liu Bei behind him, but also Lü Shengnan. That woman escaped to Hulao Pass, and now he can even mobilize Li Ru—Mengde, you should know better than anyone what kind of status Li Ru has in Dong Zhuo’s eyes, right? They sought an alliance with you, probably from the very beginning, to deal with me, not because they needed you!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's expression immediately turned strange.

"You lied to me so badly three days ago!"

Chu Xiu wasn't embarrassed by this and said with a smile, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain. Since I've chosen you, Mengde, I don't need anyone else! Our strength will grow stronger as we fight each other. As long as I hunt down enough 'gods,' it won't be a problem for me to fight them all by myself, or even suppress the entire human world!"

He did not try to deny it, but chose to speak frankly and honestly.

This further increased Cao Cao's goodwill towards him, and he said, "Strategist, rest assured, since I have chosen you, you will always be the only strategist in my Cao camp! As for that Lü Shengnan, she is unusually close to Liu Bei's fourth brother, I dare not take her as a confidante!"

He didn't care about what happened three days ago, partly because as a powerful and ruthless figure, he had his own magnanimity.

You can only look at whether Chu Xiu is useful to him, regardless of what Chu Xiu has done.

On the other hand, Lü Shengnan is clearly a trap. Her relationship with Liu Bei's fourth brother is too good. If the two of them are of one mind, will they abandon Liu Bei or themselves in the future?

A single lord is probably not as good as a sworn brother, right?
Furthermore, important matters are generally decided by men.

Even if Lü Shengnan were a goddess, she would still be a woman, and might just be Guo Liang's appendage!

"We can't escape, and we can't stop them. What should we do?" Cao Cao asked.

He simply couldn't imagine how formidable Guan Yu would be if his strength were to rise another level. He only knew that his generals would have no chance of stopping him.

"Don't panic, just do two things well!" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately pressed, "Which two things?"

"On the one hand, we must prepare for the worst, which is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, empowered by Guo Liang's supernatural abilities, will come to attack immediately!" Chu Xiu said. "Even if they have no soldiers, we must not fight them head-on! I need you to send Cao Ren to set up an 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation' in our garrison camp!"

"Array?"

"Form a formation!" Chu Xiu said. "As long as there's a formation, I can hide my tracks within it, and they won't be able to find me. As for Mengde, you must disguise yourself as a lowly soldier and hide under Cao Ren's command; that way, they won't be able to find you either!"

Even with Guo Liang's support, it would have been impossible for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to defeat several thousand soldiers.

The only problem is that they launched a surprise attack and beheaded him.

“I can hide it, but you have a divine punishment phenomenon, how can you hide it?” Cao Cao said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I know magic!"

As he spoke, he looked at his skill bar and saw the Wuhou class's minor skill, "Four-Wheel Mystery".

[Skill: Four-Wheel Stealth]

[Level Requirement: 1]

[Effect: Can control a four-wheeled vehicle to hide within the army formation and prevent enemy decapitation!] Why was Zhuge Liang, a frail scholar, never worried about being ambushed and beheaded when leading troops into battle? Besides his brilliant military strategy that left no room for others, another reason was his ability to cleverly conceal himself within the army formation!
As long as his military formation cannot be broken, the position of commander-in-chief cannot be found.

As for whether the unusual markers will reveal our location?
The answer is: Yes!
However, Zhuge Liang's skills are based on his mystical illusions. You know he is there, but you can only see his soldiers. How can you launch a decapitation strike?

In fact, even in later high-level dungeons, the Four-Wheel Track is a life-saving skill!

In some ways, it's even more important than the ultimate skill "Star Lamp Life Extension"!

"The effect of the Level 1 'Four-Wheel Maze' is that those trapped inside the formation cannot find the four-wheeled vehicle, but those outside the formation can still see it and attack it from a distance with bows and crossbows. But it is enough to deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!"

Chu Xiu thought to himself.

However, instead of adding skill points directly, he leveled up to level two and reserved one skill point for later use.

Because using "kills" to upgrade skills is a waste in the early game: hunting down players who have kills will earn you a "bounty" equal to the number of kills, which is distributed as skill points and cannot be used to level up.

In other words, you have to actually get a head in order to upgrade.

As for skill points, you only need to eliminate players who have kills. Generally, in the late game, skill points are overflowing. Eliminating a player who has three kills will allow you to directly upgrade to level three skills.

However, to reach level nine and unleash your ultimate skill, you must eliminate nine players.

If you waste skill points in the early stages, resulting in an excess of skill points later on, but your character level is not high enough to unleash your ultimate skill, that would be quite awkward!
Not to mention, Chu Xiu can also level up to level ten and unlock the ultimate move "Gods and Demons Unparalleled Eight Trigrams Formation"!
"Adding skill points is just a matter of a thought. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really come to kill us, it won't be too late to add 'Four-Wheel Mystery'!" Chu Xiu thought to himself as he looked at the character panel.

Name: Chu Xiu

[Occupation: Wuhou]

【Level: 2】

【Strength: 10】

[Agility: 11]

【Spirit: 61】

[Stamina: 9]

[Skill: Troop Deployment (Passive)]

[Number of points available: 1 (per person)]

When leveling up from level zero to level two, the three attributes of strength, agility, and stamina only increase by two points each. The growth of one point per level is basically negligible.

However, his mental attribute increased by forty points.

Not only did it make him feel refreshed, clear-headed, and enhance his memory, but it also increased the effective range of Wuhou's passive ability from the original "20-kilometer radius" to "60-kilometer radius".

That is, a diameter of 120 kilometers.

In this way, coverage can reach the imperial capital Luoyang, and feedback from the spies there can be received in real time.

The improvement is quite significant.

If it weren't for the threat from Guo Liang, he would have liked to add the remaining point to his level.

As for skills, the life-saving skill Four-Wheel Illusion is a must-have, no doubt about it. But the Feather Fan East Wind and Red Cliff Heavenly Fire are practically useless if they can't be leveled up to level four or higher!
The Wuhou class clearly has two attack skills, so why is it considered to have "no attack power"?
That's because the "east wind" that was borrowed was just wind.

Even with a fully upgraded level 3 skill, the summoned east wind is no more than what it looked like during the Battle of Red Cliffs! It can be used to fuel a fire, but when used to attack people, even a small soldier might not flinch.

harm?

No hair at all!

As for "Red Cliff Heavenly Fire," this is indeed harmful. It's a legitimate spell that can summon "oil" to fall from the sky, and it's even burning.

If it falls on a person, it can ignite them.

However, the quantity was far too small, only about one or two ounces. It was enough to burn a person bald, but it was far from enough to burn someone to death.

Furthermore, the qualitative change after leveling up is not the amount of oil.

Rather, it's the attack range.

The amount of oil only changes from one ounce to two ounces, then three ounces, and the maximum level is only three ounces of oil! As for the range, level one can only release it within one meter in front of you, level two can release it within ten meters, and level three can release it within one hundred meters.

It's amazing, but the damage is like scraping.

Therefore, the correct way to play the Wuhou class is to use passive skills, troop deployment, and skills to survive, combined with the player's own talents. Compared to Guan Yu, Wenhou, and the Ever-Victorious General who directly lead troops into battle, Wuhou is essentially without offensive power!
"I'm relieved that the strategist knows magic!" Cao Cao said.

"But hiding can only last for a while. If you want to conquer the world in the future, you will still have to face Guo Liang. Remember I told you that Liu Bei will get the 'Five Tiger Generals' in the future, five top-notch warriors?"

Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this.

"Imagine what it would be like if these five, who already possessed the strength to fight Lü Bu, were further enhanced by Guo Liang's supernatural powers and led an army whose strength far surpassed any elite force?" Chu Xiu asked.

Cao Cao: “…”

At that moment, he really wanted to just surrender.

That's a slap in the face!
"Then, strategist, do you have a way to deal with this?" Cao Cao asked.

"Of course!" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Every god has their own supernatural powers, and my true supernatural power is that even when I am in the mortal realm, I am still a god!"

As long as there are enough players and the levels and skills are high enough, then he's not playing the same game as everyone else!
