Armipotent Chapter 365
Advertisement
Right after Yi Qiao, the other soldiers followed up, "We are from the military establishment, join us and let's rebuild our country together!"
More and more soldiers followed up. They were saying the same thing over and over. Hoping the survivors would be tempted to join them.
They were trying to sell the credibility of the military so people would follow them. Yan Kui believed that at least hundreds of survivors would follow them.
At the same time, Yan Kui secretly glanced at Zhao Zhong, Pride, and Kairu. He was eyeing the three whether they would stop them or not. However, the three remained on the spot.
'They let us do this?' He thought to himself while his men were doing the propaganda.
Meanwhile, from the seventh floor, Tang Shaoyang was looking down on the street. He saw the soldiers were yelling around. He could not hear their voices, but they were like a clown in his eyes.
"What a bunch of clowns," he shook his head. Of course, he had known their 'brilliant plan' from Origin and he was not worried about it.

Yan Kui's attention was on the three who watched them, but soon he noticed that no one came over.
Despite their shouting, telling the survivors they were from the military force, no one came over.
He scanned the surroundings, and he soon realized that he and his men were like monkeys in the zoo. These people were watching them from the sideline.
Yan Kui was stunned, he thought the credibility of the military force would draw the survivors' attention. But it was as clear as the blue sky, none of them were interested.
Zhao Zhong shook his head at these people's pitiful attempts. Their attempt could never work after what Tang Shaoyang did to these survivors.
While taking their data for the database, Tang Shaoyang told them to tell what happened to their beloved country. The possibility where their country had fallen and the military force's facility was destroyed.

It was just the same as informing the survivors that they could only rely on the empire. The government had fallen, and the military was not as strong as the empire to protect them.
Of course, they took another way to convince these people, making them believe that the government was no longer there for them.
The empire was not lying to the survivors. It was what Origin told Tang Shaoyang. He chose to believe in his smart AI.
That was why the survivors did not come over when Yan Kui's men were shouting they came from the military force. They looked at the group weirdly.
On top of that, no one wanted to leave the base. Food was provided to them, a safe shelter with a wall to prevent zombies from coming for them, clean clothes, and clean water.
They had everything they needed here. Following the unknown group with guns and military uniforms was not the best option for them.
They might have a gun, but their leader with a big battle-ax was scarier. It could be said that they felt safer with Tang Shaoyang than the people in a green military uniform.
Yan Kui watched the survivors and the survivors watched them. It was precisely the scene in the zoo for sure.
"Stop! Let's leave!" His tone was harsh. He was humiliated, not expecting this kind of reaction from the survivors. He thought he could use the military name to persuade survivors to join them. The result however was a disaster.
The others quickly realized that what they did was not working. They immediately followed Yan Kui out of the base. That was so embarrassing, none of the survivors reacted to their call.
They walked to the east gate, where they came from. Meanwhile, Zhao Zhong was following the group with a car. He did not invite the group to get into the car.

This pissed Yan Kui even more, but his pride did not allow him to ask for a ride too. He did not want to talk with Zhao Zhong after what happened just now.
In the front seat, Wen looked toward Zhao Zhong, "Is it okay to let them walk like that?"
"I offered them a ride, but they ignored us," Zhao Zhong shrugged. He was telling the truth. He asked them for a ride, but he was ignored as they were busy yelling at the other survivors.
The distance was not that far, it took around thirteen minutes by walking to reach the east gate. Yan Kui was relieved at the sight of their armored vehicles.
Without any words, Yan Kui and his men immediately got into the vehicle. Zhao Zhong told the guards to open the gate, letting them get out.
"Unfortunately Boss does not let me take the armored vehicle, it's quite cool for decoration and intimidation," said Zhao Zhong as he watched the two armored vehicles leave the territory.
Meanwhile, inside the armored vehicle, Yan Kui asked his man to check the things inside as they drove back to SZ City. He was worried that the guards were playing tricks on them.
Sure enough, something was missing. The bullet for the machine gun was missing. They stored four hundred bullets, but none of them could be found inside, not even one.
"Damn!" He slammed his fist to the steel frame in anger, "I am not gonna let this slide like this, I will pay back this humiliation!"
"They want a war, right? Then I will give you what you want!"
After a few hours' trips, Yan Kui and his team entered the Flame Castle Territory. The Flame Castle was the faction that was in charge of the west area of the establishment.
He did not bother to stop by and went straight to the central area, where the main force, the remnant of the military force of the SZ Region.
If SH City's base was a hotel and entertainment building, then SZ City's base was a former office building. The forty floors building.
Yan Kui got out of the vehicle and entered the base, and he met with one of his superiors, "What's the result?"
Yan Kui's group return had been notified, the leaders had gathered on the top floor.
Yan Kui shook his head, "Negative, I have to make a report to Generals," the superior nodded his head, "Follow me, they are waiting on the top floor."
The SZ City Establishment was started by the military group. They secured the central area with the available weapons. They managed to secure the area but also found the smart base.
It was one and half months ago, soon the military force established their foundation and started to rescue the survivors. The military force under the leadership of three Major Generals.
After they established their foundation, the four survivors group joined the military force. One of them was the Flame Castle, which became one of the subsidiary forces.
Aside from the Flame Castle, the other three factions were Xu Group, Tong House, and Dragon Wings.
In total, the SZ City Establishment had seven leaders, three Generals, and four leaders from the four factions.
Yan Kui was asked to make a report to these seven important figures. There was a vicious glint in his eyes as he stood in front of a door. He was about to execute plan c, to persuade the seven leaders to take the SH Base forcefully.

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
