Chapter 68

Su Li and Luo Mu Qingqing were faster on their feet than the people from Zhao Family Village and arrived outside first.

They saw that Linglong was indeed fighting with a girl.

The girl looked older than Linglong, estimated to be around sixteen or seventeen.

She was also beautiful, with exquisite features; although she hadn't fully matured, she was already a beauty in the making.

At this moment, she was holding a wooden spear and dancing it quite skillfully.

Even though the weapon wasn't very good, she brought out the characteristics of the spear to the fullest, and her thrusting speed was extremely fast.

She unleashed wave after wave of spear light like raindrops.

On the other side, Linglong, facing so much spear light, could only defend in a panic.

It was obvious, just as Luo Mu Qingqing had said, that Linglong was already losing.

It was only a matter of time before she was defeated.

"Is this girl also from the Tiger Might Shanzhai? To think she can suppress Linglong, who has already comprehended a technique."

"This level of strength is already approaching that of a general."

Su Li frowned slightly and looked on intently, not immediately stepping in to stop the fight.

"Big Brother Su, your girl is being beaten, aren't you going to help?"

At this time, Luo Mu Qingqing, who had followed, asked curiously.

"Wait a little longer, that girl is a very good opponent for Linglong."

Su Li said indifferently.

He could see that the girl was actually not much stronger than Linglong.

Even if Linglong were defeated, there would be no danger to her life.

It was just the right opportunity for training.

"Alright, since you're not worried, I won't bother worrying for nothing."

Luo Mu Qingqing's gaze returned to the two combatants, and she suddenly sighed: "The female NPCs in this world are so amazing; I wish I could be that amazing."

Well, she had already guessed that Linglong was also an NPC in this world.

After all, players could view each other's names.

And Luo Mu Qingqing couldn't view Linglong's information, which meant the other party wasn't a player.

Then only one answer remained.

"You can practice combat skills more; once you reach the Master level, you can be this amazing too."

Su Li heard Luo Mu Qingqing's sigh and said softly.

"Master-level skills, that must be a long time from now; I've only just upgraded one skill to Intermediate."

Luo Mu Qingqing shook her head upon hearing this: "It's not just me, most other players are the same; weapon-related combat skills are just too hard to improve in proficiency."

Alright!

That was indeed the case right now.

Basically, players' skills were still stuck at the Intermediate level.

Perhaps only a 'Big Brother' like Su Li could, through his own hard work and persistence.

In less than half a month, upgrade three skills (including logging) to Master level, and one skill to Advanced level.

"If you find it troublesome to improve skill proficiency, you can also continue to develop your territory."

"Once the territory level increases and you recruit more soldier types, you can rely on your soldiers to hunt powerful enemies to increase your strength."

"Or you can find and recruit special NPCs and cultivate them into generals, which is also a form of increasing your own strength."

Given that Luo Mu Qingqing was a decent woman, Su Li pointed out a clear path for her.

Actually, as a lord.

The path he was describing now was the path players should be taking at this stage.

After all, this was a Three Kingdoms world.

Personal strength was important, but having a powerful force of one's own was the fundamental basis.

And it was indeed troublesome for players to improve their strength; setting aside a 'Big Brother' like Su Li who relied on his own persistence and hard work.

Ordinary players without talent or traits, no matter how hard they tried, at this stage, would at most be only slightly stronger than a high-tier soldier.

But special NPCs were different.

They usually came with their own talents or traits.

Once recruited and invested in with resources, it was easy for them to become powerful.

Take Linglong for example.

Her talent was functional, and she only had one trait that could barely be considered for combat talent.

But even so.

In just a few days, she already possessed strength comparable to, or even greater than, an average bandit leader.

Although this was also influenced by his hundred-fold growth talent.

But it could not be denied that the growth speed of special NPCs was faster than that of players, and many times faster at that.

Therefore, the primary task for players at this stage should be to find and develop special NPCs while developing their territory.

This was the fastest path to rising.

"Big Brother Su, is your girl Linglong a special NPC?"

Luo Mu Qingqing asked with a sudden realization.

Su Li didn't continue speaking, just smiled noncommittally.

"I understand, thank you, Big Brother Su!"

Luo Mu Qingqing thanked Su Li sincerely.

Because Su Li's few words had already made her understand how she should proceed on her path.

Su Li just waved his hand slightly and didn't chat with her anymore.

His gaze had long since turned to the front, to the battle between Linglong and the spear-wielding girl.

At this moment, Linglong was being driven back step by step by the girl.

Despite having the weapon advantage, her blacksmith hammer was being deflected by the other's spear, and she retreated again and again.

The blacksmith hammer had long since been knocked away by the other's spear.

But even so, Linglong had no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

At most, in three more rounds, she would be defeated.

At this moment.

Su Li finally walked up slowly and approached the two.

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing again.

Linglong was once again knocked back by the girl.

Taking advantage of this gap.

Su Li flashed and blocked in front of Linglong.
