Chapter 199 Recruitment
After returning to the capital and locking himself in the bedroom, the first thing Gu Mu did was to exchange for a dragon scale from the system store.

He was rewarded with the "opportunity to re-sharpen" because he was far ahead in male lead value.

According to Gu Mu's inference, this opportunity should be related to these two new items that were newly refreshed in the system store.

With a cautious mood, Gu Mu asked the dead man to stand beside him, and then swallowed the dragon scale in one gulp.

【Progress 1/10】

Sure enough!

In other words, to complete 10/10 progress, you need to spend 300 points.

Fortunately, now that Gu Mu has enough points, he exchanged all the remaining nine dragon chips without hesitation.

After the progress reached [-]%, Gu Mu felt something strange in the skin on his neck.

He touched it, and the touch was similar to before, but it seemed that the toughness had increased.

Gu Mu had to understand his own strength. He locked his consciousness on the Resurrection Pill, then gritted his teeth, picked up the sword, and cut down on the skin of his neck.

It can be seen that the tip of the knife pressed down on the skin on the neck, leaving a thin red mark.

But no blood seeped out.

You know, Gu Mu's attack was not light just now. According to usual, the skin should have been cut.

Gritting his teeth, Gu Mu hit harder.

This is the degree to which the carotid artery can be cut directly.

Gu Mu is ready to redeem the Resurrection Pill from the system store as soon as possible to save his life.

After all, compared with thirty points, it is more important to understand the effects of the three hundred points of dragon scales.

However, even if Gu Mu hit such a heavy hand, the red mark was only a little deeper, and there was still no blood oozing out.

In other words, not to the extent of cutting the skin.

Now the skin on his neck looks soft, but it is actually very resilient.

Originally, Gu Mu had the Resurrection Pill, so it was already very difficult to be killed.

But now because of the strengthening of the body by the dragon scales, if his whole body is like a neck, and the toughness of the skin increases, it is estimated that he will not even have the opportunity to use the resurrection pill in the future.

"As long as the dragon scale has enough points, it will produce better effects than the body-building pill." Gu Mu calmly analyzed that although the body-building pill can increase the strength of the body, it is far from being invulnerable.

But Dragon Scale did it.

Right now, only the neck is protected. If the whole body is protected by dragon scales, Gu Mu can be very confident. By then, he will have achieved immortality.

"But the previous system task gave me a chance to re-refinish, that is to say, during the re-refinement process, there is a possibility of failure?" Gu Mu felt that he was so smooth just now, maybe it was because he used it for the first time, so the system took extra care of him.

But now he only has 166 points left, and he has no chance to try again.

Gu Mu glanced at the "Chaos Yuan" with some longing. The newly upgraded dragon scales are already so heaven-defying, and he doesn't know what effect the Chaos Yuan will have.

The Chaos Element is refreshed together with the Dragon Scale, so it should also need 300 points, so we can only wait for the next time.

When the trade channel is completed, a large amount of political achievements will be reaped.

As for the villain value... Gu Mu remembered the provocation of the Eagle Kingdom before.

He is not a person who can bear it. It seems that earning points based on the villain value has also come to fruition.

As soon as he said it, Gu Mu immediately called Cheng Gonggong and asked him to take the imperial decree and recruit people from the people to join the army.

Because of the war before, the Southern Kingdom injured many soldiers, but with Gu Mu's ascension to the throne and the amnesty of the world, those who were originally in the prison also had the opportunity to be a new man.

And, because of Gu Mu's disaster relief to the south of the Yangtze River, and the provision of food and cloth to support the people.

All the people who would have died of hunger and cold every year in the southern country survived.

Therefore, it can be expected that the recruitment of ordinary people into the army this time should be relatively smooth.

But what Gu Mu didn't expect was that once the imperial decree came out, the people's enthusiasm for enlisting in the army was even more enthusiastic than he had imagined.

Jiangnan.

The common people looked at the news posted on the bulletin board with thoughtful faces.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy then raised his head and said to the old woman beside him, "Mom, I want to join the army."

"Why?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said with some reluctance.

She knew that joining the army meant fighting with swords and guns, and that her child might die on the battlefield at any time. What she wanted was a safe and stable life.

"Because my life was given by His Majesty, I also want to use my strength to protect more people like Your Majesty."

The boy said forcefully.

The old woman froze for a moment again, tears welling up in her eyes.

She remembered that famine, the whole mountain was gone, not even a blade of grass, not even a piece of bark.

She felt that she and her child could only wait to die.

There were starving prisoners everywhere, no one could save so many people.

But His Majesty did it.

At that time, His Majesty, who was still the regent, saved so many people in Jiangnan.

If it wasn't for His Majesty, they should have died at that time.

"Okay." Even though she was reluctant to give up, the old woman nodded with tears in her eyes. When the child grows up, she can't help it, so it's better to let the child go and let the child do the more meaningful things he wants to do.

One of the small villages in the southern country.

The man came back with a hoe and saw his wife was weaving cloth beside the magical loom, and the baby in swaddling was sleeping soundly in the cradle.

Seeing him come back, his wife showed him a gentle smile, and just about to get up to greet him, she heard the man say in a steady voice, "I'm going to join the army."

The wife froze for a moment and looked at the baby in the cradle.

At this time, Dabao also came back from the private school, took the man's hand happily as soon as he entered the door, and shouted: "Father, I learned a few more new words today. My husband said that I am very smart. As long as I spend more time studying, I will be happy." I can read a book by myself!"

The man held Dabao's hand and looked at his clean and tidy clothes.

And his excited eyes when he first entered the school.

When the wife met the man's eyes, she understood instantly.

Long before Gu Mu came to the throne, his family's big treasure always wore clothes that were one size bigger and always tattered. If he could pick up other people's leftovers, he would pick up other people's leftovers. There were hardly any new clothes.

But now, Dabao's clothes are clean and tidy.

Not only do they have new clothes to wear, but even because of the improvement of living standards, they can grit their teeth and send Dabao to a private school.

You know, in the past, it was enough for a peasant family like theirs to eat enough. At Dabao’s age, he had to help the family with farm work, so that the family could barely starve to death, go to private schools, and seek a better future. I dare not even think about it.

But all of this actually happened before their eyes.

"Go, I'll take care of the two children." The wife said with a smile and tears.

Beijing.

A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old said to his father who was a businessman: "Father, I can't pass the examination for merit. I already have tens of thousands of wealth in my family. As long as my child doesn't do business and can be a dude with peace of mind, the property in the family is enough for my child." Eat several times."

His father was stunned. He always knew that his child was useless and would never settle down to study. He only knew how to climb walls and trees.

So he has been instilling a concept in his family's children, just be a dude with peace of mind, don't mess with people who can't afford it, let alone think about making a career, and go into business as soon as your brain is hot.

His child suddenly brought up this matter, which made him feel that things were not simple.

"But the boy doesn't want to be a dandy." The young man said in a young voice.

His father frowned, and was about to scold him when he heard the young man say, "My son wants to join the army."

The young man's eyes were full of ambition and yearning: "My child knows that my child is not a material for studying, and doing business with my brain is not suitable for me, but a man should stand upright and live under the protection of his father for the rest of his life. What is it?" man?"

"My child wants to join the army and make a career for my father to see!" The young man clenched his fists and said solemnly.

His father looked at the persistent and serious color in the young man's eyes.

I also remembered that my wife was pregnant with a son.

Even if the youth dies, there will be no future.

He should not easily deny a person's life.

What's more, his father remembered the place where the Queen Mother's coup d'etat happened. He saw from the window a distant figure on the spire, that tall and blood-stained figure. Not afraid.

This is also what he yearns for, the demeanor of a man.

"Return safely, and your family will always be your backing." He said lightly.

He looked at the burly back of the young man. For many years, he emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and in the eyes of official standards, although he had a lot of money, he always lacked dignity.

His Majesty has never despised businessmen, and is even building trade routes for the convenience of trade.

If young people can become His Majesty's right-hand man, then why is it not a blessing?
