Chapter 26

Linglong opened her big, lively eyes and stared closely at Su Li.

"Yes, I promise!"

Su Li nodded heavily.

"Phew..." Linglong finally revealed a smile, wiped her eyes, and carefully bowed to him: "Then Linglong, thank you, big brother, for taking me in!"

Very polite.

This made Su Li very happy, feeling that taking in this girl was completely fine.

And at this moment, the game system suddenly sounded a notification.

"Congratulations! You have recruited a special NPC!"

Looking at the notification that popped up in front of him, Su Li was stunned for a moment, and then happy.

He didn't expect this girl, Linglong, to be a special NPC!

You know, in the background information of this Three Kingdoms game, it is introduced.

NPCs are divided into three types.

One is ordinary NPCs.

For example, like Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang, farmers directly spawned from the territory, as well as surrendered wandering bandits and mountain bandits; these are all ordinary NPCs.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary NPCs have no talents and no characteristics, and are the existence with the worst qualifications.

Even if cultivated with all their might, in the later stages, they can only grow to the limit of their unit profession.

They cannot break through the shackles of the unit limit to become higher-level generals or strategists.

Another type is epic NPCs.

What is an epic NPC? It is a person who has left a name in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

These NPCs, as long as they don't appear in their childhood, even the worst ones have the panels of generals or strategists, and their strength is very outstanding.

So there is no doubt that in this realistic Three Kingdoms game world, those epic NPCs who have left their names in history are the most precious resources that players will fight for in the mid-to-late stages."

But!

Compared to the players who have all traveled to this game world, the number of epic NPCs in the Three Kingdoms world, even if large, is far from enough!

In the end, it is destined that some people will have epic NPCs, have generals or strategists.

As long as you have one, it is enough to crush most players.

However, this game world is not that simple.

Besides ordinary NPCs and epic NPCs.

There is another setting.

That is... special NPCs!

Compared to those epic NPCs who have left their names in history, these special NPCs are pitifully weak in both level and attributes.

But compared to those ordinary NPCs, these special NPCs themselves carry talents and characteristics, and have extremely high growth potential!

Theoretically speaking, if such an NPC is discovered and enough resources are invested in their cultivation.

It is entirely possible to cultivate them into an existence no weaker than those epic NPCs, those true generals and strategists!

Of course, just ordinary generals and strategists.

The success rate of cultivating a special NPC into a peerless god-general like Lu Bu or Zhao Yun is still infinitely close to zero.

Now, such a special NPC, Linglong, appeared in front of Su Li.

A little girl with the potential comparable to a general or strategist.

Without hesitation, he immediately opened Linglong’s character panel to check.

New book setting sail, seeking flowers, seeking evaluations!!!

[NPC]: Linglong

[Age]: 13

[Level]: 1

[Unit]: None

[Attributes]: Martial Strength 10, Intelligence 4, Command 0, Politics 0

[Talent]: Natural Arm Strength (arm strength is different from ordinary people, martial strength converted to power is 1.5 times normal, using bow-type weapons can gain extra range and lethality)

[Talent (Rare)]: Master Craftsman (has the talent to become a master craftsman, the speed of forging skill improvement is accelerated, when grown to a certain level, has a chance to comprehend weapon-refining characteristics, can forge spirit weapons)

[Characteristic]: Refining (when serving as a territory blacksmith, blacksmith shop material consumption is reduced by 50%, when casting equipment, has a chance to improve quality)

[Skills]: Intermediate Forging, Beginner Crossbow Making, Beginner Hammer Technique

[Equipment]: Blacksmith Hammer (★)

Everything else is normal.

But when seeing the 10 points of martial strength on Linglong’s attribute panel, Su Li was shocked!

You know, in this game world, a rare farmer like Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang only has 4 points of initial martial strength.

And what is the concept of a 13-year-old girl like Linglong having 10 points of martial strength?

It is equivalent to letting Linglong transfer to any combat profession, and once she goes out, she can sweep away the players at the current stage in minutes.

Of course!

10 points of martial strength is not the most important thing.

The important thing is that Linglong has two talents and one characteristic.

One of the talents, [Master Craftsman], is even a rare talent.

Although Su Li doesn't know what the concept of a rare talent is.

But looking at the talent description, he knows this is a very awesome talent.

It can accelerate the speed of forging skill improvement, and when grown to a certain level, there is a chance to comprehend weapon-refining characteristics, and can forge spirit weapons!

The two words "spirit weapon," once heard, you know the level is above rare weapons, it is a very awesome thing.

Besides that.

Linglong also has a [Natural Arm Strength] talent.

No wonder Su Li felt Linglong’s strength was great just now; it turns out it was because of the existence of this talent that her strength was different from ordinary people.

Plus a [Refining] characteristic.

This little girl is definitely a natural blacksmith!

Su Li’s eyes moved slightly; he picked up the hammer and box that Linglong dropped from the ground and handed them to her: "Linglong, these are your things, keep them well."

"Mm-hmm."

Linglong nodded heavily, took the hammer, and opened the box.

Inside was a crystal-clear and colorful crystal.

She took out the crystal and handed it back to Su Li: "Big brother, this is the treasure my blacksmith master left for me, a seven-colored crystal stone."

"It was snatched by the bandit leader before, now I give it to you."

[Seven-Colored Crystal Stone] (★★★★)

[Quality: Rare Material]

[Description: Very rare top-grade crystal, contains spiritual energy, can be used to forge spirit weapons]

Su Li checked it, and it was indeed a treasure.

The rare material [Tough Beast Tendon] he obtained from killing the Gray Wolf King before only reached the 1-star level.

And this seven-colored crystal stone was actually a 4-star material.

It can be said that it is more than one or two grades better.

The most critical thing is... the seven-colored crystal stone can also be used to forge spirit weapons, which is very powerful.

However, even so.

Su Li still didn't reach out to take it, just patted Linglong’s little head and smiled: "This was left to you by your blacksmith master, how can I take it."

"You should keep it yourself, and strive to one day use this seven-colored crystal stone to forge a spirit weapon!"

Linglong seemed to like his head-patting, while revealing an enjoying expression, she said:
