Chapter 130: Foundation of Governance

"The young Emperor is really taking action, but the things he sent..."

After the palace bandit case last time, the young Emperor first promoted Chu Danqing to the first-rank Five Military Governor.

However, it was rejected by Chu Danqing; was he afraid he was too idle?

His mind was full of completing the hidden task of bandit suppression.

Later, for half a month, he kept sending gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and beautiful women.

The former two were not recognized by the Paradise at all and could only be used as military expenses for bandit suppression.

He speculated that it might be due to the nature of the items; the judgment mechanism of treasure-type props might be more complex, not just based on quality and value.

The latter was returned directly; what kind of wine and sex was he indulging in at his prime?

Weren't Paradise Points, attribute points, and treasure chests that could make one stronger fragrant?

Pulling his thoughts back to reality.

Just last night, Kui Yuan was escorted into the capital and locked in the dungeon for trial.

The rest of the personnel had also been captured and interrogated.

Just waiting for Kui Yuan to arrive to be beheaded and displayed in public.

This group of people finally couldn't escape death.

Secondly, Chu Danqing's bandit suppression task progress officially stepped into 60%.

The Paradise prompted him whether to settle, if he settled, the task would be completed.

But if he didn't settle and continued to accumulate progress, he could get more Paradise Points.

Every 1% would get an additional 200 points.

Actually, at 50%, he had already been prompted once, and Chu Danqing didn't choose to settle.

Killing this group of greenwood leaders, bandit suppression progress wouldn't be much, at least it could increase by about 5%.

As for 100% progress? The possibility of reaching it was slim.

Progress was a real-time dynamic change, which would decrease by a percentage due to bandit breeding.

Chu Danqing had also experienced several percentage decreases.

"My lord, noon is almost here, and a group of bandit leaders have been escorted to the execution ground." A guard reminded Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing had said before that he would do it himself.

Since he was going to settle, it meant that the treasure chest accumulation would also be interrupted.

The quality of the treasure chest this time was definitely good, at least worth a basic skill.

Although he didn't go down to the field himself, the large number made up for the defect of not killing them himself.

"Let's go." Chu Danqing took Dabao and went straight to the execution ground.

The previous greenwood leaders were all present, all waiting to be beheaded.

They also saw Chu Danqing; some were cursing, and some were begging for mercy.

Chu Danqing ignored these words, and Dabao picked up the executioner's sword and started beheading.

Kui Yuan was left as the last one; Chu Danqing needed a basic skill on him, named Foundation of Governance.

His strength was not strong, but he was able to gather such a large group of people in a short time, which was inseparable from this skill.

And in this trial world, it belonged to the alien category.

Most were based on melee foundation and long-range foundation, and then derived basic skills of fist, foot, and weapon types.

Kui Yuan also had them, but the level was not high.

As for whether it could be opened, that was another matter.

As Dabao killed the greenwood leaders one by one until only Kui Yuan was left, the bandit suppression progress bar reached 65%.

"Commander Chu, 'merit high enough to overshadow the master' is my advice to you." Kui Yuan saw Dabao walking over and said coldly before execution: "I am waiting for you below."

Kui Yuan's head fell, and the bandit suppression progress bar increased to 70%, and Chu Danqing settled immediately.

An excellent-tier treasure chest with shimmering patterns appeared on his corpse.

【Task complete, you have obtained: 14,000 Paradise Points, +4 Attribute Points】

Chu Danqing had 20% more progress, and every 1% was converted into 200 points, so besides the basic 10,000 reward, he also obtained an additional 4,000 Paradise Points.

"I didn't expect you to be a character." Chu Danqing looked at Kui Yuan's headless corpse, his expression slightly regretful: "What a pity."

He regretted that the treasure chest didn't reach the fine tier.

What quality of treasure chest corresponded to what quality of resources could be opened.

Excellent tier couldn't open fine-tier items, and fine-tier wouldn't open lower excellent-tier.

This belonged to the guarantee mechanism.

Putting away the treasure chest, Chu Danqing took Dabao and left.

A group of people swarmed over with white flour buns that were hard to buy.

On the way back, Chu Danqing opened this excellent-tier treasure chest.

【You opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent), obtained: Skill Book (Foundation of Governance), 2,900 Paradise Points, 2,900 Paradise Points, 2,900 Paradise Points】

【Skill Book: Foundation of Governance】

【Type: Basic Skill】

【Quality: None】

【Effect: After use, obtain the skill Foundation of Governance, reduce summoned object maintenance consumption, enhance summoned object fit】

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes; this basic skill was used by the summoning system and the lord system's legion flow.

Because Chu Danqing was a summoning system, the name was based on him, and the description was changed to summoned objects.

Summoning foundation, which targets the main trunk-type basic skills like melee foundation and long-range foundation.

And summoning art foundation and governance foundation target the detailed classification of basic skills like palm art foundation, sword art foundation, etc.

Based on the main trunk, then detailed differentiation, and then developed with inherited skills and regular skills as nutrients.

He really didn't have the resources to improve basic skills like melee foundation and long-range foundation that didn't fit.

The basic skills of the summoning system were different; Chu Danqing had to improve them even if he had to smash the pot and sell the iron.

【Foundation of Governance: LV1】

【Skill Effect: Summoning-type consumption -1, enhance summoned object fit by 10%】

(Note: Reduced to a maximum of 1 point consumption, cannot be zeroed)

Immediately, a lot of knowledge emerged in his mind, about one-fifth of which was connected to the summoning foundation.

This meant that as long as Chu Danqing used this as a stepping stone to master the remaining four-fifths, he could raise the Foundation of Governance to LV2.

Summoning-type consumption was simple and rude; whether it was direct summoning or the continuous existence of summoned objects, it reduced 1 mana point.

For example, the crossbowmen originally required 20 points to summon, now only 19 mana points.

As for summoned object fit, it was to make the summoned objects under his command more fit for Chu Danqing, allowing Chu Danqing to better control and dispatch summoned objects.

Although there was a percentage, it was the same as the summoning art foundation that increased potential and growth, which contained unquantifiable data such as loyalty and favorability.

And the 10% fit increase was not immediately effective, but needed enough time to slowly improve.

Similar to moistening things silently.

However, even so, it was extremely powerful.

It was very suitable for the shortcomings of the legion flow that couldn't cultivate loyalty one by one; anyway, as long as the level of the Foundation of Governance was pulled up, and the troops stayed in his hands long enough, there was no need to worry about loyalty at all.

And the skills of the legion flow were basically high consumption; now it was only -1 point, which looked small, but the Foundation of Governance wasn't just one basic level.

"I don't know if the summoning-type consumption -1 can be effective for the Blood Oath Covenant." Chu Danqing muttered.

Wait until there was an opportunity to test it; if it could be effective, it could save him a lot of Paradise Points.

After the harvest was completed, Chu Danqing returned to his office and started arranging the aftermath and handover.

He had a lot of power in his hands; if he wanted, he could completely be like Ao Bai or Dong Zhuo.

Leaving without arranging properly would cause extremely serious consequences.

Chu Danqing could hold it down, but others might not.

After processing, he wrote a list and a resignation letter and went to see the young Emperor.

"Commander Chu came so hurriedly, is there any urgent matter to seek me?" Seeing Chu Danqing arrive, the young Emperor disguised himself quite well.

"Your Majesty, I am leaving." Chu Danqing went straight to the point, and handed the resignation letter and the list to the other party.

This sentence directly stunned the young Emperor.

He wanted to take back his power from Chu Danqing, but he also knew that his successive mistakes had caused his prestige to drop greatly, and he still needed Chu Danqing's assistance.

In other words, Chu Danqing still had residual value; before the value was completely squeezed out, the young Emperor didn't dare to move Chu Danqing.

"Commander Chu, is there anything I did wrong? Please speak directly." The young Emperor said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty misunderstood." Chu Danqing knew that the young Emperor was half true and half false, but said: "When the former Emperor passed away, I had the intention to leave."

"But Your Majesty was young, and the Taichang Dynasty had internal troubles of banditry, so I stayed to assist Your Majesty."

"Now that the banditry is no longer a threat, and Your Majesty has the virtue of gentleness and humility, and also has thunderous means, you no longer need me to assist."

"It is time for me to leave." Chu Danqing said nicely.

In reality, it was: you kid can endure and dare to act; now the power is returned to you, you play by yourself, I won't accompany you.

The young Emperor was silent, and saw Chu Danqing place the seal and official robe aside, saying: "When I came, I had already properly arranged the Imperial Yulin, the Investigation Bureau, and the Beijing Camp."

"Your Majesty only needs to send someone to receive them."

Chu Danqing had no intention of rebelling and didn't win over people's hearts, just handled things fairly.

He properly finished the tail, plus the influence of imperial power, it was not difficult for the young Emperor to receive.

"If Your Majesty feels indebted, why not give me something as a souvenir."

"Whether it's more or less, I won't dislike it." Chu Danqing was asking for severance pay; if the young Emperor didn't give it or didn't give enough, then don't blame Chu Danqing for drumming up something himself.

The young Emperor came back to his senses and understood that Chu Danqing was determined to leave, so he immediately had people accept the resignation letter, the list, and the seal.

"Since Commander Chu is so generous, I shouldn't be stingy." The young Emperor thought slightly: "Go and take the 'Aphorisms of Cultivating Righteousness' written by the Founding Emperor."

"This volume was used by the Founding Emperor when he raised his army to remove the bad atmosphere among his subordinates, written by his own hand."

"And the Taizong, Renzong, etc., added their own insights."

"Now it only circulates in the palace, used for the enlightenment of the Crown Prince and the Crown Grandson."

"If it's a souvenir, this item is extremely suitable." After the young Emperor spoke, a eunuch hurried away to get the thing.

Chu Danqing intended to see what this so-called 'Aphorisms of Cultivating Righteousness' was; if it was a knowledge-type prop, he would accept it.

If it was really just an ordinary book, then he would ask to change it.

At worst, it had to be a treasure-type prop; at least Paradise Points were hard currency.
