Chapter 2563

Li Ruanyu shook her head and said: "The price is hard to say. Every rare building like this has its own price per order — the differences are huge. But it'll be at least several thousand gold coins, right?"

"Only several thousand gold coins?"

"Only?"

"Ha ha." Zhao Chi laughed: "If it's only several thousand gold coins… I get it. I'll post a bounty, and you help me look on your side while I also post one on mine — a two-pronged approach."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "You're really rolling in money now, using 'only' to describe several thousand gold coins."

Zhao Chi laughed: "We're rolling in money now. Come with me, sister."

Zhao Chi pulled Li Ruanyu into an entertainment room beside them.

The inside was completely empty.

There were only some vacant pieces of furniture.

And in the corner there were some blankets piled up.

Li Ruanyu found it a little strange: "What's wrong with this room?"

Zhao Chi laughed: "I'll tell you in a bit. I have another question."

"Go ahead and ask."

"What's the difference between heroes synthesized from Nuwa Stone fragments and racial bloodlines, heroes appointed on the Commander Platform through dismissal and appointment, and heroes appointed through appointment letters?"

Li Ruanyu nodded:

"Of course there is.

"Heroes synthesized through Nuwa Stone fragments and bloodlines are the same as ordinary heroes — they have the strongest energy.

"Heroes summoned through Hero Souls may produce Gao Jie heroes, such as Intermediate heroes, Advanced heroes, and so on — it also depends on chance.

"And the attributes of heroes summoned through Hero Souls may also be higher.

"Hero Souls have greater randomness — they might randomly roll excellent talents, and even S+ level talents are possible.

"Besides, Hero Souls directly create heroes, and the base attributes of the characters obtained may also be very high.

"These are all the advantages of Hero Souls.

"So although Hero Souls cost extremely much, nobles can't do without this method.

"But appointment is different.

"Using an appointment letter is actually about the same as appointing a hero on the Commander Platform.

"It's just that appointment letters have slightly greater randomness, while the Commander Platform has none.

"But everything else is the same.

"And after appointing a hero through the Commander Platform, the hero's attributes need to be accumulated from scratch, increasing a little each month — the time will be slower.

"After all, it's starting from scratch.

"And what's appointed is your current subordinate, so the base attributes won't change.

"The talent is also relatively fixed, just as I said earlier — it's chosen from several fixed standard talents.

"So relatively speaking, using the Commander Platform costs less, but the time to train a hero is longer.

"However, the Commander Platform can quickly train more heroes — that's a major advantage.

"Besides, if the subordinate you appoint already has some combat skills, such as saber arts or spear arts, then in fact they can be a little stronger than those directly summoned through Hero Souls.

"That's about it."

I see.

One is quality, the other is quantity.

The cost of using Nuwa Stone fragments plus racial bloodlines is truly high.

The heroes summoned are of course a little stronger.

But…

On Zhao Chi's side, it doesn't seem to be the case.

First is hero attributes.

Although Hero Souls have a higher innate value, heroes appointed can also improve step by step through monthly performance.

Given Zhao Chi's combat level here, there's absolutely no need to worry about the speed of improvement.

This aspect can be smoothed over with time.

Then there's talent.

Although Hero Soul talents can produce top-grade ones, the problem is it's only by chance.

Even with Hero Souls, the chance of producing a top-grade talent is still low.

Most likely it'll still produce an ordinary talent.

And even with ordinary talents, Zhao Chi can forcibly raise the talent ability and level by modifying data — the gap here isn't that big.

And right now Zhao Chi originally wanted to add more mid-level heroes among the female soldiers.

Mainly to let more female soldiers receive more hero bonuses.

So, it doesn't matter.

Besides, the female soldiers' combat skills are already very strong — many of their spear arts, saber arts, and so on have broken past one hundred.

Converting them directly into heroes like this is actually stronger than heroes conjured out of thin air through Hero Souls.

At least stronger in combat skills.

So…

Completely acceptable.

Hero Souls are good, but they're really not easy to get in a short time.

What's needed now is quantity.

First solve the question of whether you have it at all, then worry about whether it's any good.

First solve the problem of eating your fill, then consider the problem of eating well.

Take it one step at a time.
