Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 117: Chapter 115, Hero Upgrade

Facing the option to activate Tadeusz, Gu Hang hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to activate him.

This wasn’t specifically to reward the hero who had performed great deeds, nor was it simply out of Gu Hang’s curiosity about what made a person who had achieved what even interstellar warriors had failed, so special.

While there were factors like these at play, the activation of Tadeusz as a hero genuinely helped with some of the work that Gu Hang had to do next.

Next, several thousand soldiers from the former Alliance Legion needed to be reorganized. Gu Hang’s own direct troops only numbered a little over a thousand in a small infantry regiment. It was impossible for him to mix and integrate troops as he had done in the past.

If the measure of a political commissar seemed effective presently, then it should be continued and reinforced. And Tadeusz was a very good candidate for that.

Gu Hang planned to implement this policy comprehensively in his troops in the future, adopting a dual command system. Military affairs, such as combat command and training arrangements, would be primarily overseen by the military chief with the commissar aiding; whereas the commissar would take the lead on aspects like daily life, army construction, and ideological discipline, with the chief assisting.

For the moment, Yan Fangxu was still the highest military chief in charge; as for the political commissar side, Gu Hang planned to promote this lad Tadeusz swiftly up the ranks.

Under the current circumstances, Tadeusz arguably had a heavier task compared to Yan Fangxu.

After spending 50 points of the grace to complete the activation, Gu Hang instantly saw Tadeusz’s attributes.

[Activated Hero: Tadeusz (SR)]

[Level: lv3]

[Physique 10, Spirituality 6, Command 10, Political 13]

[Traits:]

[Calmer of Storms: Having endured the baptism of the storm, the cleansing of the Mental Realm upon his return has had a reflective effect on his physique. Physique +1, Spirituality +1]

[Awakened Political Leader: Simple political ideological education enlightened him; witnessing the sacrifice of a friend shocked him; the idea of sacrifice during the action to save the city made him a hero. He has awoken, his thoughts solidified, knowing exactly what his goal is. Political +2, Command +1]

[Talent:]

[Unyielding Will: This person has an unbreakable will, no difficulty can bring him down. Physique +1, Special Effect: Unbreakable]

[Inspire Morale: This person has a strong influence and can boost the morale of all friendly forces around him, the effect depends on the firmness of his will.]

…

Looking at Tadeusz’s attributes, the first thing Gu Hang noticed was the level.

SR, wasn’t that two tiers higher than the N level of the two characters he had activated before, Osenia and Wu Jiarong?

But in reality, looking at the attributes, there was nothing particularly outstanding about them. When Gu Hang was at LV3, his spirituality was already at 17.

Of course, comparing with Gu Hang was not fair. Even at LV1, before acquiring the system, Gu Hang had already reached a high spirituality of 14 thanks to his predecessor’s legacy. And before activation, Tadeusz and the others were merely ordinary people.

As a three-level character, Tadeusz’s highest political attribute was only 13 points, but the advantage was that besides spirituality, there were no real weaknesses. This meant he was more of an all-rounder, capable of shouldering arms and engaging in the frontline battle as well as handling political work in the rear.

And his SR rating was likely more valuable for the two talents and one trait that he had over the two ladies.

Those two ladies only had one trait each: [Excellent Bureaucrat] and [Former Technical Genius]. These two traits were probably similar to Tadeusz’s [Awakened Political Leader] trait, but not equivalent. His [Political Leader] trait was obviously a bit more advanced.

What’s more, he had three more.

The advantage of the SR rating seemed to lie here.

Beyond the quality tier, Gu Hang was also very curious about another point: how had Tadeusz’s attributes increased?

Set aside the political and command capabilities, which might have been dormant military/political talents in Tadeusz that were simply awakened by the system, the physique attribute couldn’t be faked.

The past Tadeusz, Gu Hang knew clearly, was just an ordinary person.

After being selected for the military, even with training from the [Soldier Tag] System that made him a T5-level soldier, it meant he had acquired some level of military skills. There wouldn’t be a dramatic change in his physical condition.

This also implied that his physical attribute, even if better than that of an average person, would at most reach around 7 or 6 points.

In fact, Gu Hang had never heard of anyone in his troop having some innate Divine Power or other special physical characteristics.

So, the case was pretty clear.

Tadeusz’s attribute growth was given by the system.

The mechanism of this [Hero] panel is such that when someone with potential or talent appears under Gu Hang’s command, he can use his blessings to realize that person’s talent. It is as if the system uses some magical means to accelerate the individual to a level that might normally require extensive training to achieve.

Activating a hero’s ability is quite beneficial for Gu Hang to rapidly develop talent.

Thinking of this, Gu Hang went to check on Osenia’s status again.

To his surprise, the girl had reached LV2!

That she could level up did not seem strange to Gu Hang at all. As a political talent like her had undergone such a high-pressure ordeal, growth and development were to be expected.

What surprised him, though, was that this upgrade did not require any of his own blessings!

Could it be that aside from the initial cost of activation, leveling up does not require additional expenditure? As long as they grow to a certain point on their own, they can level up?

This suggested to Gu Hang that the function of activating heroes might be even more important than he had anticipated.

Then he remembered Yan Fangxu.

Old Yan… missed the chance!

However, even now, he wasn’t planning to activate Yan Fangxu. That guy still hadn’t made up his mind whether to give up his title of naval captain or not.

So, keep working then.

Taking his attention back, Gu Hang continued to look at Osenia’s character card.

[Hero: Osenia (N)]

[Level: LV2]

[Physique 4, Spirituality 5, Leadership 8, Politics 11]

[Trait: Excellent Political Officer]

[Talent:]

[Handling Politics Under Pressure: When affairs are urgent, she makes very few mistakes. Politics +1]

…

Osenia’s political points had increased by 2, and her leadership points by 1.

And she had acquired a new talent.

[Handling Politics Under Pressure], true to its name, was not particularly powerful, but very practical.

For political officers, the fear is making mistakes under heavy pressure, which could come with a higher cost and be more irreparable than usual mistakes.
