All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 30 Hidden Profession, A Vicious Scheme Against Chu Xiu!

"How about we make another deal? You capture all twenty-odd people from the 'Cultivator Annihilation Alliance' and kill them for me, and I'll share my talent with you!" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Lü Shengnan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Are you telling me to stop dreaming?

As she spoke, she was secretly alarmed, realizing that just as she had guessed, Chu Xiu knew everything about the "Cultivator Annihilation Alliance."

The fact that Dong Zhuo personally led a large army to attack probably couldn't be kept from Chu Xiu.

"I'm serious," Chu Xiu said.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it!" Knowing that Chu Xiu wouldn't easily reveal his secrets, Lü Shengnan didn't press him. Instead, she said, "Now that we've truly formed an alliance, there's something I just learned from Wang Yuanjing that I'd like to tell you as well."

"what's up?"

"A player has unlocked a hidden class!" Lü Shengnan said, "There are four hidden classes in the Three Kingdoms dungeon. 'Taiping Daoist' and 'Illusionist' have been unlocked before, but the remaining two have yet to be unlocked. However, the triggering difficulty of the four hidden classes is equal, and there is a 50% chance that a completely unknown hidden class will appear!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu immediately thought of two people.

Zhang Jiao, who shouted "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!" and Zuo Ci, one of the "Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty," who used illusion magic to completely fool Cao Cao!
"They are all outstanding characters from the original work, so what will the remaining two hidden professions be?"

Chu Xiu suddenly thought of Hua Tuo.

Perhaps one of the remaining two hidden professions is a "healer": Hua Tuo is undeniably the pinnacle of medical skills, even comparable to Lu Bu's martial prowess and Zhuge Liang's wisdom, making it highly likely he won't be a suitable profession template.

So, what about the last one?

"Wait a minute, will Hua Tuo be a stay-at-home dad or a craniotomy expert? Could a medical player use the character template to create biological weapons?"

Limited by the industrial base, it was extremely difficult to advance technologically in the Three Kingdoms world.

The firearms they could manufacture were ridiculously expensive, and they weren't necessarily better than bows and crossbows—the large ballistae of the Qin Dynasty had an effective killing range of up to 800 meters, comparable to sniper rifles during World War II!
When attacking a city, catapults were just as powerful as cannons.

Even the word "cannon" originally referred to a catapult, and the prototype of the "cannon" in Chinese chess is also a catapult.

However, ballistae and catapults are difficult to manufacture and require multiple operators.

It's just not lightweight enough.

However, modern weapons are even more difficult to produce when the industrial base is inadequate! A single component might require a highly skilled blacksmith to work on for a month, and even with the best efforts, how many can be produced?

In any case, players who are trying to advance their tech tree shouldn't expect any results in the short term.

However, some things do not necessarily follow the rules of scientific development—Hua Tuo was able to perform surgery in ancient times, without even sterile operating rooms, and even open people's skulls, which was not just due to his technique.

They are also highly skilled in disinfection and sterilization.

So, what if he were to take a different approach and actively cultivate bacteria and viruses?

Hua Tuo himself wouldn't be that ruthless, but the players would!

When they first met, Chu Xiu told Cao Cao that the players were "evil ghosts crawling out of hell." He wasn't lying to Cao Cao. When the Fourth Calamity started causing trouble, it would be the least of their worries that nine out of ten houses in the Central Plains would be empty. If they were given enough time, they could even develop firearms and destroy the Central Plains!

It's important to understand that for players, this is just a dungeon.

No matter how much they court death, they won't really die. What kind of bottom line do they have?

"Essentially, the cooperation between the feudal lords and the players is no different from seeking help from a tiger! So the question is, once the natives see through the players' true colors, will they unite to resist the 'extraterrestrial demons' and increase the difficulty of the game?"

If we disregard talent, players are actually at a disadvantage against natives.

A professional template cannot completely replicate the original. "Why are you, a player, so sentimental?" Lü Shengnan asked, puzzled.

Chu Xiu shook his head and said nothing more.

He had a feeling that if the players acted recklessly and thought they could do whatever they wanted in this world, then the local characters would give them a big surprise!

……

The Battle of Hulao Pass ended in a crushing defeat.

With the fall of Hulao Pass, the eight passes of Luoyang were like a deflated balloon, rendered useless. The allied forces of the feudal lords advanced with unstoppable momentum, and the imperial capital of Luoyang was in grave danger!

This left Dong Zhuo, who had personally led a large army, momentarily unsure whether to send troops to stop them.

"Damn it, we're all gods, so how come Chu Xiu, under that scoundrel Cao Cao, can create sandstorms and possess boundless magical power, while you all look like wilted eggplants, all listless and pathetic?"

There were more than twenty gods in front of him who were cooperating with him, but Dong Zhuo was not happy at all.

Because he discovered that the difference between gods was greater than the difference between a human and a dog: the gods on the side of the feudal lords were almost all dead, and only Chu Xiu and Jia Tong were left on the surface, with the latter being just there to make up the numbers.

Nothing was accomplished.

Even under these circumstances, the more than thirty celestial beings at Hulao Pass were so frightened that they fled without a fight, and Lü Bu, the fierce general that Dong Zhuo relied on, was also utterly defeated.

Rumors are circulating that although Chu Xiu has descended to the mortal realm, his divine power remains.

The claim that he possessed boundless magical power and could summon sand and stones with a mere wave of his feather fan, instantly engulfing hundreds of thousands of troops, was undoubtedly a rumor. However, the sheer volume of rumors made Dong Zhuo somewhat uneasy.

He wanted to fight but didn't dare, so he vented his anger on the "Cultivator Extinction Alliance" members in front of him.

As for why he dared to vent his anger on the "gods"?
After Lü Bu slew eight gods, the so-called "gods" had already fallen from their pedestals. Although Chu Xiu defeated Lü Bu and returned to the pedestal, this only applied to himself.

The Alliance of Exterminators, consisting of more than twenty Celestial Gods, dared not confront Chu Xiu.

It's really hard to respect them.

The players in the alliance were also feeling aggrieved by this.

"Prime Minister, since we've come to you, we naturally have a way to deal with Chu Xiu!" Zhang Xiaoming, the temporary leader of the "Anti-Cultivator Alliance," said, "The gods have lost their divine power. No matter how powerful Chu Xiu is, he is still just flesh and blood. With proper planning, it's not impossible to send him to his death!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo was skeptical.

"How to calculate it?"

"Prime Minister, please look!" Zhang Xiaoming pointed to the "Mangshan" between Hulao Pass and Luoyang on the sand table and said, "Sizhou has had no rain for many days, and Mangshan is covered with vegetation. There is only one official road leading to Luoyang in the mountains. If we set fire to the mountains from the foot of the surrounding area when they reach the mountains, even if they are very strong, they will surely die!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes immediately lit up.

"Setting the mountain on fire, why didn't our family think of that?"

"Of course, this is not without its costs. After the mountain is burned, crops within a radius of hundreds of miles will suffer, and the smoke and dust will form smog, which may cause the people of Sizhou to suffer from pneumoconiosis."

Zhang Xiaoming added.

But Dong Zhuo didn't care at all and immediately made the decision: "Let's do it this way!"

To improve the burning effect, he immediately conscripted laborers to transport a large amount of oil. Little did he know that among those conscripted laborers were Chu Xiu's spies.

The plan to set the mountain on fire had only just been formulated here when Chu Xiu already knew about it!
