Chapter 27

"My blacksmith master once said that to forge a spirit weapon with a seven-colored crystal stone, you also need another rare material, [Blood Dragon Rock], to achieve it!"

"And with my ability, I am far from the level of forging spirit weapons."

"This seven-colored crystal stone, you should take it, big brother; taking it to the market to sell, you can sell it for a lot of money!"

This girl actually wanted to give him this rare material to sell for money!

Su Li heard this and immediately felt that this little girl was too cute, and couldn't help but laugh: "Big brother is a lord, and I also wiped out this stronghold and harvested a lot of resources, so I’m not short of money!"

"So you should keep this seven-colored crystal stone yourself."

"Later, when your forging ability improves, big brother will find [Blood Dragon Rock] for you, let you forge a spirit weapon, and become the most powerful blacksmith in the world!"

Linglong heard this and also revealed a smile: "Okay! Then I will forge a spirit weapon for you, big brother! Let you become the most powerful person in the world!"

"Okay! It’s a deal!"

The two high-fived, and thus made the agreement.

Next.

Su Li took Linglong and searched the one-eyed man’s room, finding quite a few gold coins.

Plus Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang and the others taking the bandits to search the entire stronghold, they obtained the following resources:

Such a huge amount of resources, let alone upgrading White Cloud Village to Level 4, even supporting White Cloud Village to upgrade to the town level is no problem!

Subsequently.

Su Li prepared to take Linglong, Zhang Zhang Zhang Qiang and the others, and the surrendered bandits back to White Cloud Village.

As for this stronghold...

He burned it directly with a fire!

And just as the stronghold was completely burned down, a game system notification popped up.

"Congratulations! You destroyed a mountain stronghold, gained 1000 reputation, and activated the reputation title: [Well-Known]!"

"Congratulations! As the first player to destroy a bandit force, you will receive an extra reward, the Civil Official Token."

"Congratulations! You destroyed a mountain stronghold, gained 1000 reputation, and activated the reputation title: [Well-Known]!"

"Congratulations! As the first player to destroy a bandit force, you will receive an extra reward, the Civil Official Token."

"Huh, there’s a reward too?!!"

They were already on the way back when Su Li inexplicably received the notification, accompanied by two types of rewards.

A reputation title.

A black token.

[Well-Known] (Title)

[Quality]: Beginner

[Effect]: Public Order +10

[Description]: Can slightly increase the public order of the territory, has a chance to attract refugees to join.

This is just the most basic reputation title, nothing to talk about.

It can only slightly increase the public order of the territory.

The only thing worth praising is that it has a chance to attract refugees to join, which can increase the territory’s population.

Su Li focused on looking at the black token.

[Civil Official Token]

[Quality]: Special

[Description]: After use, you can recruit a civil official-type special NPC with 30 points or more in politics or intelligence attributes through the Lord’s Mansion, with a tiny chance to recruit an epic civil official-type NPC.

"Damn, this Civil Official Token is a bit fierce!"

Su Li’s eyes suddenly brightened.

He didn't expect this small token to be used to recruit special NPCs, and even have a tiny chance to recruit epic NPCs.

If he were lucky enough to trigger the tiny chance and recruit a famous Three Kingdoms figure.

Even if it’s a civil official type, like Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Military Sima Yi, etc.

Wouldn't he take off immediately?

Of course!

The timeline now is only the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion has broken out, so figures like Zhuge Liang cannot appear.

But geniuses like Guo Jia or Wang Zuo Xun Yu are not bad either.

This, just thinking about it is exciting.

Alright...

Su Li was immersed in his endless daydreams along the way.

When the group returned to the territory in a grand manner.

He couldn't wait to go to the Lord’s Mansion and use the [Civil Official Token].

Soon.

A young scholar wearing a white robe and looking quite scholarly walked out of the Lord’s Mansion.

"Subordinate Bai Hao greets the Lord."

The young scholar walked out of the Lord’s Mansion, saw Su Li, and immediately came over to salute; it wasn't very respectful, but it was quite polite.

At the same time, his information also appeared in front of Su Li.

[Name]: Bai Hao

[Level]: 10

[Unit]: Civil Official (Proficiency: Intermediate) (Internal Affairs +30%)

[Attributes]: Command 14, Martial Strength 8, Intelligence 24, Politics 45

[Talent]: Grain Storage (food consumption of the territory is reduced by 50%, food acquisition is increased by 50%)

[Skills]: Intermediate Spirit-Clarifying Technique, Intermediate Inspection Technique, Beginner Investigation Technique

[Equipment]: Scholar’s Fan, Scholar’s Robe

[Loyalty]: 80 points

Looking at Bai Hao’s information, Su Li was immediately disappointed.

This is not a famous Three Kingdoms figure of the level of Guo Jia or Xun Yu, and it doesn't even count as an epic NPC.

It’s just a special NPC.

Even, as a special NPC, Bai Hao’s qualifications are not as high as Linglong’s.

After all, Linglong has two talents and one characteristic, including a rare talent.

And this Bai Hao has only one [Grain Storage] talent, and the effect is only to increase the territory’s food, which doesn't look very powerful.

"Sure enough, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment!"

Su Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But there was no way.

Since he had already recruited him, what else could he do?

He couldn't ask the system for a return or exchange.

He had to accept it.

However, Bai Hao also had aspects that satisfied Su Li.

That is his high political attribute.

Generally speaking, with 30 points or more in politics, one can be appointed as the territory’s internal affairs official, giving the territory various bonuses and accelerating the development of the territory.

And Bai Hao?

His political attribute reached a full 45 points.

Once appointed as the internal affairs official of White Cloud Village, it is enough to let White Cloud Village enter a stage of rapid development.

Su Li did exactly that; after nodding slightly to Bai Hao, he said: "I now appoint you as the internal affairs official of White Cloud Village, I hope you can develop White Cloud Village better!"

"Thank you, Lord, for the promotion; I will definitely do my best and not fail the mission!"

Bai Hao bowed slightly and replied.

Immediately after, Su Li delegated power to Bai Hao, letting him be responsible for settling the two hundred or so bandits brought back from the stronghold, and taking over the government and construction work of the entire territory.

Must say, 45 points of political attribute is powerful.

If Su Li were to settle these bandits, just building houses would take at least a day.

And Bai Hao?

He handled it in a few hours, and arranged everything in an orderly manner; it would only take a period of time for these two hundred bandits to completely integrate into White Cloud Village, providing help for the subsequent development of White Cloud Village!

Next, it was government affairs and town construction.

The effect of high political attribute is that Bai Hao can complete the construction of buildings with fewer materials and in a shorter time!

Even in terms of the city defense layout of the entire territory... Bai Hao’s planning far exceeded Su Li’s.

From the moment Bai Hao started working, Su Li had been by his side.

Just watching for a few hours, he had no interest in watching anymore.

The gap between the two was just too damn big.

So big that Su Li, who had originally planned to participate in the construction of the territory, ended up going to play happily with Linglong.

He really couldn't help much.

Constantly providing resources to Bai Hao was perhaps his only job.
