Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 24: Another Guidance for the Mad Dog King

When Wang Jue returned to his territory, the effect of the illusion fruit had just ended, and he returned to his original appearance. The first thing he saw was Bandhu.

The guy was jumping around by the fence gate, yelling, "Help! Help! Kill me! I'm tired of living, who's going to kill me?!"

Wang Jue didn't know if any players had been called ashore by Bandhu, but his posture was very abstract. Most players would probably suspect a trap when they heard him shouting like that.

"It's quite interesting to have such a goofball in our territory..."

Wang Jue ignored Bandehu and quickly went to the small courtyard in his territory after landing.

The bricklayers and mortar workers are still working here. They are currently busy building the wall around the compound. The wall is located three meters north of the No. 1 and No. 2 courtyards. It is two meters thick, six meters high, and almost five meters long. They are running out of bricks and it looks like they will run out soon.

Wang Jue praised the plasterer and bricklayer, and then used the [Construction Blueprint of the Military Research Institute] on the right side of the No. 2 courtyard.

"Ding! Using the construction blueprints, the Military Research Institute has been successfully built. Territory Technology +6, Military +6!"

Accompanied by a system notification, a three-story round tower-shaped building, more than five meters tall and resembling a model of the Temple of Heaven, appeared in front of Wang Jue.

That is naturally the Military Research Institute. A vertical plaque hangs above it facing south, with the five characters "Military Research Institute" written in a flamboyant style. Although it is called a building, people cannot actually go inside.

The success rate of the skill depends on the target's financial situation, environment, personality settings, etc. Please explore for details.

"They've developed begging technology? That makes sense! But it's a bit embarrassing for our soldiers to use this skill; why not give them a combat skill instead?"

Wang Jue muttered to himself for a while, but still spent 2000 yuan and 100 units of food to develop the [Begging] technology.

Having a skill is always better than having no skill!

Wang Jue wasn't in a hurry to check the effects of the [Begging] skill. Having completed the territory mission, he had another 200 points of soul power, and he wanted to continue to guide Mad Dog King.

"After the last guidance, Mad Dog King's martial arts have slightly declined. Now that the Fishman Legion's fourth attack is imminent, we must boost his combat power. 200 points of soul power and two guidances—System God, you must be on your best side and not cause any more trouble!"

Wang Jue pondered silently for a while, then looked at Mad Dog King with a serious expression.

Mad Dog King, with his twin swords planted in the ground and the coffin placed horizontally, was sitting on the coffin lid reading a book, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

Bandhu, curious, came over. He glanced at the newly built military research institute, grumbled, and started banging his head against the wall again.

Wang Jue ignored Bandehu, took a few deep breaths, and then used [Infinite Guidance].

"Mad Dog King!" Wang Jue said in a deep voice, "I understand your confusion, and now I, the lord, will answer your questions..."

Upon hearing this, Mad Dog King, who was reading a book, immediately jumped off the coffin lid, closed the [Slide Tackle Manual], and listened attentively to what Wang Jue was saying.

Wang Jue said, "Sliding tackle, sliding tackle, this was originally a divine skill in football, but later it was modified by wisdom and became an imagined tiger-killing divine skill. Simply put, this sliding tackle is to use the foot as a shovel, lower the body's center of gravity, and slide along the ground by inertia. It can be used to rush forward and evade attacks, do you understand?"

Mad Dog King shook his head and muttered a line, indicating that he didn't understand.

Bandhu sidled over and asked, "What are you doing? Sliding tackle? What's a sliding tackle?"

Wang ignored Bandehu and, taking advantage of the fact that he was still in the right state of mind, continued, "Slide tackle, slide tackle. First, slide, then tackle. Accelerate in front to gain kinetic energy, then lower your center of gravity when tackling, use the instep of your foot to tackle, and your body will glide, understand?"

Mad Dog King continued to shake his head, but Bandhu burst into laughter, saying, "Are you out of your mind, lord?"

Wang Jue frowned and explained to Mad Dog King what gliding was until the light on his body disappeared.

"Ding, guidance failed!"

"Ding! The outlaw Mad Dog King, after receiving your guidance, only vaguely understands and gains nothing."

After the system notification ended, Mad Dog King shook his head, turned around and sat back on the coffin lid, taking out the [Slide Tackle Manual] to continue studying it.

Bandhu laughed wildly, "You idiot lord, are you teaching your subordinates martial arts? Is that something you can teach? Haha, a sliding tackle! So idiotic!"

Wang Jue flicked his hand, moving Bandehu a hundred meters away. He took two deep breaths, cleared his soul power, and used [Infinite Guidance] again.

"I don't believe it!" Wang Jue rubbed his hands together. "Mad Dog Wang, you watch closely, this is what a sliding tackle is! I'll demonstrate for you!"

After saying that, Wang Jue personally demonstrated the sliding tackle. He accelerated, jumped slightly, stepped forward with his right foot, and slid sideways along the ground. However, he accidentally distorted his movement, fell flat on his back, and scraped his buttocks against the ground, making him grit his teeth in pain.

Mad Dog King looked over seriously, but it was clear that Wang Jue's failed demonstration had no effect.

Wang Jue gritted his teeth, became fierce, stood up and continued to demonstrate the sliding tackle.

"Watch closely, this is a sliding tackle!"

He shouted and slid over and over again, soon getting himself all disheveled, with the soles of his feet scraped raw.

Actually, Wang Jue had never practiced this sliding tackle since birth. However, since he had never seen a pig run or eaten pork, he was forcibly demonstrating it. His movements were very unorthodox. He thought it was good, but the actual movements he made were extremely ugly.

"Haha, this is ridiculous! It's hilarious!"

Bandhu bounced over again, laughing loudly with mockery in his eyes.

Wang Jue gritted his teeth and persisted with the slide tackle, finally managing to execute a slide tackle that was about 80-90% accurate just as the trial was about to end.

"Did you understand?"

Wang Jue shouted breathlessly to Mad Dog King, wondering if he was overthinking things. Why did he have to explain sliding tackle to Mad Dog King? Perhaps if he had just given him some pointers from another angle, he would have succeeded long ago.

But at that moment, a golden light suddenly shone from Mad Dog King's body.

"Ding, guidance successful!"

"Ding! Mad Dog King, thanks to your guidance, has finally understood the [Slide Tackle Secret Manual]. Slide tackle, slide tackle, indeed a miraculous skill! Having grasped its true meaning, Mad Dog King immediately went into seclusion to practice diligently. Ten years later, Mad Dog King mastered the slide tackle technique. Using it against his enemies, he felt completely at ease. He desperately longed to meet the nameless hero who had forced him to jump off the cliff back then, and firmly believed that if they were to fight again, he would surely win."

"Ding! Your Robin Hood Mad Dog King skill has been updated. The new skill [Slide Tackle] has been added."

"Ding! Your Robin Hood Mad Dog King's martial arts have greatly improved, and he is now a near-top-tier master. His star rating has been increased to three and a half stars, and his loyalty has increased by 10!"

"Ding! Your Robin Hood Mad Dog King's loyalty has exceeded 100, fulfilling the hidden condition and granting you the passive skill [Never Betray]."

"Success! Near-top-tier master!"

Wang Jue was overjoyed.

Ban Dehu couldn't hear the system notification and was puzzled when he saw Wang Jue's happy expression.

Mad Dog King's appearance remained unchanged. He shouted a line, then sat back on the coffin lid and took out an ancient thread-bound book from his pocket to read.

But perhaps because he had already mastered the [slide tackle technique], the manual he pulled out was different, with four big characters on the cover: "Great Sun True Scripture"!
