Chapter 193

Gently calming the continuously surging power within his heart, Su Li swept his gaze across the battlefield.

The invading Yellow Turbans were almost entirely wiped out, save for a very small number who had fled.

The ground was covered in severed limbs and blood flowing like a river.

The scene was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

"Big Brother, this time I not only comprehended a martial skill, but my Fire Phoenix Spear Technique also broke through to Level 2!"

At this moment, Zhao Yu rode over on her Blood-Sweat Horse, her face full of excitement.

The scorching aura on her body, like that of a fire phoenix, had not yet faded.

Had Sister Xiao Yu's cultivation technique also broken through?

Sensing Zhao Yu's aura, Su Li immediately patted her head and encouraged her: "Well done!"

"You deserve the majority of the credit for being able to defeat the Yellow Turbans this time!"

"Is there any reward you want? Big Brother will definitely satisfy you!"

Zhao Yu also enjoyed Su Li's head-patting, saying with a smile: "Xiao Yu doesn't want a reward. Being able to help Big Brother kill the enemy is the thing that makes Xiao Yu happiest!"

"How can that be? You must have a reward!"

Looking at the heroic and sensible Zhao Yu, Su Li also smiled: "Since you want to help Big Brother kill the enemy, then how about this: Big Brother appoints you as the Deputy Commander of the Crimson Blood Cavalry. From now on, you will lead the Crimson Blood Cavalry and join Big Brother on the battlefield!"

A troop naturally generates corresponding positions.

The Crimson Blood Cavalry was his exclusive troop type, so he automatically became the commander.

The position of Deputy Commander was still vacant, which was perfect for Zhao Yu.

Although this position did not provide any actual stat bonuses.

It would allow Zhao Yu to be more proficient when commanding the Crimson Blood Cavalry in the future.

"Okay, Big Brother!"

Zhao Yu nodded happily.

"Let the Crimson Blood Cavalry clean up the battlefield, and let's head back."

Su Li patted her head once more and walked toward Bai Yun Town.

Zhao Yu quickly gave a cheeky smile and followed.

……

As soon as Su Li and Zhao Yu returned to Bai Yun Town, Linglong came running and jumping to appear before them.

And the moment she appeared.

She looked at Su Li with expectant eyes and said: "Big Brother, I won the competition just now!"

"Competition?"

Su Li was momentarily stunned.

"Big Brother, didn't you say just now that to relieve the pressure on Sister Xiao Yu, we should have an archery contest to see who could shoot more enemies?"

"If Linglong won, you were going to give Linglong a reward!"

Linglong said with a serious face: "Big Brother, you didn't shoot as many enemies as Linglong did. Linglong was counting the whole time, so don't even think about welching on the bet."

"So that's what you meant."

Su Li finally realized and remembered that such a thing had indeed happened.

However, he had only said it casually, and he had been aiming specifically to shoot the Huang Jin leaders.

If it were purely a matter of numbers, he naturally couldn't shoot as many as Linglong.

After all, Linglong was using the Continuous Feather Bow, which came with a rapid-fire function.

One volley could take out at least two or three ordinary Yellow Turbans.

How could he compare while focusing solely on locking onto and shooting Huang Jin leaders?

This competition was destined for him to lose from the very beginning.

Of course!

Since he had lost, Su Li naturally wouldn't welch on the bet, so he smiled at Linglong: "Then have you thought about what reward you want?"

"Hee hee, Linglong has already thought about it. Big Brother, lean in closer, and I'll tell you quietly."

Seeing Linglong's mysterious expression, Su Li walked toward her and leaned in very close.

Because it looked like Linglong wanted to whisper, Su Li turned his head to the side.

*Smooch~*

Suddenly, a moist sensation touched his cheek.

Su Li turned his head back abruptly, only to see Linglong running away into the distance, looking excited like a child who had just done something naughty.

"Am I... being teased by an NPC?"

Su Li was stunned.

He finally realized that Linglong's so-called reward was actually... this kind of benefit?

At this moment.

Not only was Su Li stunned, but Zhao Yu, who was standing to the side, was also frozen in place.

Then...

Zhao Yu suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "So a reward could also be this kind of..."

"I was too careless!"

"If I had known that when Big Brother mentioned a reward earlier, I should have..."

She looked at Su Li's retreating figure, feeling incredibly regretful, and made a secret resolution.

If there was another chance for a reward!

Next time, she definitely would...!

……

This Huang Jin raid, although aggressive, with over ten thousand troops, a general, and two siege weapons.

In reality, it hadn't caused any damage to Bai Yun Town at all.

They had also gained a large amount of equipment, as well as treasure-grade weapons dropped by the general Han Zhong and several Huang Jin leaders.

Besides that, there was also an initial-tier battering ram and an initial-tier catapult.

At the current stage.

Players had no ability to build siege weapons; only after upgrading their territory to the small city level could they open the relevant workshops.

Therefore.

Even though these two siege weapons were of the most basic tier, they still possessed a certain strategic value.

If there was an opportunity in the future, they could be used to attack cities.

Additionally.

Besides the 3,000 reputation points gained from killing the Huang Jin general Han Zhong, after cleaning up the entire battlefield, Su Li discovered he had also received several thousand more reputation points.

···

It seemed that in this plotline, killing ordinary Yellow Turbans also provided a certain amount of reputation rewards.

Added to the reputation points he had previously obtained, his reputation had unknowingly broken through the 10,000 mark.

At the same time, a notification appeared.

"You have reached the requirements to unlock the intermediate title 【Rising Fame】!"

【Rising Fame】

【Quality】: Intermediate

【Effect】: All attributes +1, favorability with certain epic NPCs +20%.

【Description】: Possessing this title proves that you have entered the eyes of certain figures in this world.

……

The previous initial-tier reputation title 【Well-Known】 had no special effects, only adding 10 points to territory public order.

The newly unlocked intermediate title 【Rising Fame】 had much better effects.

763480157

Not only were all attributes +1.

There was also the effect of +20% favorability with certain epic NPCs.

This effect seemed useless at first glance, but it might have miraculous results at times, and perhaps it would even be useful for recruiting epic NPCs.
