You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 144: Lack of Officials, Soaring Killing Value

After receiving Ying Chen's order, Xun Yu and others in the Qin Dynasty immediately dispatched officials and troops to the Iron Wolf Dynasty to take over the territory.

However, the army is not a problem. Qin has been expanding its army and now has tens of millions of troops. Even if the territory suddenly triples, it will be enough for the time being.

However, with so many new territories added at once, there was a shortage of officials. Lower-ranking officials were easy to find, but what was lacking were officials capable of governing a state or even several provinces.

These high-ranking officials are not easy to cultivate; it takes time.

However, the Qin Dynasty could afford to wait this long, but the newly conquered territories could not.

If no officials arrive in time, trouble may break out in those areas.

Left with no other choice, Xun Yu had to report the matter to Ying Chen.

Meanwhile, Ying Chen also realized his mistake when he received Xun Yu's message.

The previous plan was to only conquer the Blood Barbarian Dynasty, and the number of officials reserved was only enough to deal with the Blood Barbarian Dynasty.

However, unexpectedly, Huo Qubing did not play by the rules and once again conquered a large territory.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Great Qin has met the standards for advancing to an Imperial Dynasty. A mission is now issued: Advance to an Imperial Dynasty. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a generous reward..."

Just then, the system's voice rang in Ying Chen's mind.

Ying Chen's eyes lit up when he heard the voice.

Yup!

I have a system, and I remember that I can buy anything in the system shop. I wonder if I can buy officials.

With that in mind, Ying Chen disregarded the system tasks and instead opened the system shop to start searching.

After searching for a long time, he finally found what he wanted.

Official Gift Pack: This pack contains three thousand officials of various ranks, all skilled in handling government affairs. Having them in charge of local governance will surely save His Majesty the Emperor both worry and effort. (Note: These officials range in strength from the mid-Golden Core stage to the mid-Avatar stage, and their cultivation will increase as the host's strength improves.)

Upon seeing the description of this "gift package for officials," Ying Chen immediately felt that it was tailor-made for him!

Then he looked at the price.

"I rely on!"

The moment Ying Chen saw the price, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The 1 is followed by a long string of 0s.

Ying Chen counted them; there were a total of nine zeros.

In other words, this "gift package" for officials is worth a full 1 billion kill points.

"This... I wonder if my bloodlust points are enough..."

Looking at the price, Ying Chen muttered to himself with some trepidation.

Since the system store was introduced, he hadn't checked it carefully. If he hadn't needed to use it this time, he probably would have forgotten that such a feature even existed.

He hadn't checked his kill count for a long time. When he first gained kill count, the system would announce it, but Ying Chen thought it was too noisy, so he turned it off.

Therefore, Ying Chen doesn't know exactly how much killing power he has.

However, during this period, the Qin Dynasty was constantly waging wars, and it probably gained a lot of kill points.

However, we'll have to see how many there are to find out.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Ying Chen checked his kill count.

Upon seeing his kill count, even someone as composed as Ying Chen couldn't help but feel his heart race, his breathing quicken, and his eyes widen involuntarily.

"My God! How much is this?"

Ying Chen stared at the long string of numbers and said in disbelief.

The kill count is a string of numbers; you can't tell exactly how much it is at a glance, but it's definitely more than a billion.

Although he knew his kill count was definitely not low, he didn't expect it to be this high.

"This system is really something. Why can't it just write the quantity directly? Why does it have to be written as numbers? How long would it take to count like this?"

Ying Chen looked at the long string of numbers and couldn't help but complain, but the slight upturn of his lips betrayed him.

"Ding, host's intention detected. The display method of kill points has changed. Please check it yourself..."

As if it had heard Ying Chen's words, the system actually issued a notification.

Ying Chen looked at the kill count again and, sure enough, it had changed; the Arabic numerals had been replaced by Chinese characters.

It shows 32.5 billion.

Seeing this, Ying Chen's breathing became even more rapid.

Just how many people did the Qin army kill during this period to accumulate so many kill points?

With so many kill points, Ying Chen could buy over thirty gift packages for officials.

"purchase!"

Ying Chen waved his hand and bought the official gift package directly.

We have money now, and when you have money, you should spend it.

Following this principle, Ying Chen browsed the system store again.

Product Name: City Defense Force

Product Description: This system-produced army is slightly weaker than those summoned by the system. It can be used as a second-line force, capable of garrisoning cities in peacetime and deploying to the front lines in wartime. Although only a second-line force, compared to the native army, these troops are already considered elite among elites...

Quantity: Five million

Strength: Varies from early Golden Core stage to late Nascent Soul stage

Price: 10 billion kill points

After seeing the price of the city garrison, Ying Chen thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and bought it.

Although the Great Qin Dynasty is not short of troops, its native army is newly recruited and lacks strength. He fears that these troops will not be able to deter the natives of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty and the Iron Wolf Dynasty.

The Blood Barbarian Dynasty was relatively easy to deal with, since they were all human and their resistance to the Great Qin was not that strong. But the Iron Wolf Dynasty was a different story.

They are not the same race as the Qin Dynasty at all, and they are extremely hostile to humans. It would be unacceptable for the army stationed in this area to be weak.

This also posed a considerable challenge to the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

After all, this was the first time that the Qin Dynasty had brought a non-human race under its rule, so it was bound to be anything but smooth sailing.

This would require strong military force to suppress it.

These five million city defense troops will be put to good use when the time comes.

After purchasing the civil official gift pack and the city defense troops, Ying Chen's kill points had been depleted by one-third.

Afterwards, Ying Chen went on another shopping spree in the system shop, spending another 10 billion kill points before finally stopping, still not satisfied.

He also needs to reserve some kill points as a precaution.

The other things he bought were mostly rare and precious materials that could accelerate cultivation.

He felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably recently.

This can't go on. After all, he alone is crucial to the overall strength of the Great Qin. If his cultivation level isn't high, then the cultivation levels of the others in the Great Qin won't be able to improve either.

After doing all this, Ying Chen deployed the officials from the official gift package and the five million city defense troops to Xianyang.

Xun Yu and the others will make proper arrangements for them.

He doesn't need to worry about these things.
