63: Liu Sandao

At night, Lin Yue walked alone to a deserted area in the wilderness.

[Lucky Treasure Chest: An upgraded version of the Lucky Small Treasure Chest, with an increased and unknown lucky probability]

"Open it," Lin Yue said softly.

[Opening... Ding! Player's luck is overflowing!]

[Congratulations, player, for obtaining a special treasure: Average Face Simulator!]

Average Face Simulator? What is this thing? Lin Yue wondered.

[Average Face Simulator: After the player uses it, when other players screenshot, record, or perform any operation related to the player's face, the player's face will become an average face.

When other players recall the protagonist's face outside the game, the player's face will also become an average face!]

Lin Yue rubbed his eyes, falling into self-doubt.

This special treasure can even affect things outside the game?

That incredible?

"Use!"

[Ding! Player used successfully!]

Lin Yue checked his backpack, and sure enough, the Average Face Simulator had disappeared, but he felt nothing in his body.

He couldn't find a player to test it on, so he could only comfort himself that since it was a special treasure, it must have special effects.

Afterward, he prepared to open the Silver Military General Recruitment Token obtained from slaying Huerhan!

[Silver Military General Recruitment Token: Can randomly recruit High-level Military Generals or Third-rate Military Generals from history! (Random probability)]

"Use!" Lin Yue murmured.

Then, a green pillar of light descended from the sky not far ahead. The light pillar dispersed, slowly forming a Starry Sky Gate. Behind the gate, thousands of stars seemed to twinkle, which was very mysterious!

Immediately, a series of images entered Lin Yue's mind.

He saw a Military General, tall and handsome, holding a Fangtian Halberd and riding a date-red horse, standing below a city on a battlefield. He regarded the vast Army on the opposite side as nothing, exuding an aura of one man holding off ten thousand!

The scene shifted to the Encampment on the opposite side, where everyone was sitting together. Lin Yue looked, and they were all familiar faces he had seen when recruiting Pan Feng last time!

Did he just stir up a hornet's nest of the Three Kingdoms? Lin Yue secretly gasped.

He saw a warlord at the head of the table say, "This mere Lu Bu, breaking through alone, regarding all generals as nothing. How can this be tolerated?"

Then, a warlord below said, "My brave general Liu Sandao will definitely cut down Lu Bu within three moves!"

"I have High-level Military General Han Yong, who can fight Lu Bu!"

"I have the brave general Wang Chong of Beihai; he has long wanted to cleave Lu Bu with his blade and seize Red Hare!"

Three warlords volunteered, and Yuan Shao, on the platform, nodded and said, "Good." The three Military Generals then went out to meet the enemy!

As for the result, they were all cut down within three moves, and then the scene disappeared.

Afterward, a person walked out from the Starry Sky Gate. Lin Yue took a few steps forward to meet him, silently thinking: It must be Liu Sandao! At least he can last three moves under Lu Bu; the others, Han Yong and Wang Chong, were truly instant kills!

"This humble general Liu Li, courtesy name San Dao, greets my Lord!" A Military General walked out from the Starry Sky Gate!

He held a long blade, with two blades strapped to his back, and had a handsome and imposing appearance!

"San Dao, please rise quickly." Lin Yue helped Liu Sandao up while checking his attributes.

[name: Liu Li

Identity: Military General

Peerage: None

Official Position: None

Martial Power: 83

Intelligence: 74

Command: 80

Politics: 64

Charm: 83

Loyalty: 70

Talent: Three Blades: When fighting a Military General of the same realm, the hit rate of the two blades on the back +20%]

He had thought he was a High-level Military General, but unexpectedly, Liu Sandao was a Third-rate Military General!

No wonder history says Liu Sandao was as famous as Pan Feng of Chenjun, but his reputation surpassed Pan Feng's.

His attributes were on par with the previous Pan Feng!

Recalling the scene where Liu Sandao was cut down by Lu Bu within three moves, Lin Yue was shocked. This Lu Bu was so terrifying; in the game, he must be a Mythical Military General!

"San Dao, come with me!" Lin Yue took Liu Sandao's hand and walked towards the Encampment.

He then brought Liu Sandao to their camping spot and introduced him to Pan Feng, Xing Daorong, and Li Mu. The four exchanged greetings.

"San Dao, you will serve as my personal guard for now. Your specific position will be arranged when we return to the main Encampment," Lin Yue said.

"It's all up to my Lord!" Liu Sandao laughed heartily.

The relationship between warriors, or between men, is so peculiar; soon, everyone was getting along well.

Tonight, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry didn't have to stand guard or patrol, so the five of them lay on a rock, stargazing and discussing the romance unique to men.

At this moment, Lin Yue's heart, which had been tense from days of battle, finally completely relaxed.

"A Rong, what is your dream?" Lin Yue suddenly asked on a whim.

"This humble general's dream is to follow my Lord well and have enough to eat with my Lord," Xing Daorong said with a smile.

Pan Feng turned his head and looked at him in surprise, wondering why his flattery today was so smooth.

"You'll have enough to eat every day from now on. Do you have any other dreams?" Lin Yue said with a smile, feeling quite pleased.

After such a long time together, Xing Daorong's loyalty had slowly risen to 90, and it would probably reach absolute loyalty soon.

"Hmm... This humble general wants to return to my village in glory one day, when I achieve success and fame by following my Lord," Xing Daorong stammered.

"Return to the village?" A smile played on Lin Yue's lips.

"He wants to see Xia Lian," Pan Feng said faintly.

Finally, I caught him. So it's Xia Lian! Lin Yue was secretly delighted.

"Lao Pan, didn't you say you'd keep my secret!" Xing Daorong turned and wrestled with Pan Feng, and everyone burst into laughter.

"A Rong, if you like someone, you should pursue them quickly. Don't wait until you lose them and then regret it," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"No way, my Lord?" Xing Daorong stopped his movements and asked.

"There are so many bachelors in the village, and Xia Lian is so beautiful. You're far away, so who knows when Xia Lian might fall for someone else."

Hearing this, Xing Daorong sat up, somewhat at a loss.

"So you should pursue her quickly. What result can you get by thinking about her day and night here?" Lin Yue advised.

"But I don't dare. Xia Lian is so beautiful and gentle, and I'm just a rough man, with only brute strength and no money.

I'm afraid if I say it, Xia Lian will ignore me, and then I'll regret it."

"Remember, only those who have tried are qualified to say they regret it.

A simp who doesn't even dare to try is not qualified to say they regret it."

Xing Daorong didn't speak. Although he didn't understand what a simp was, he generally understood his Lord's meaning.

"That's right, A Rong, if you like someone, you should say it. Don't regret it later," Li Mu interjected.

"How about this, when we return to the Encampment tomorrow, I'll apply for a few days off for you to go back to the village to see her," Lin Yue said.

"Mhm!" Xing Daorong nodded with great determination.

[Xing Daorong's Loyalty +5, Loyalty reached 95!]

Lin Yue smiled after hearing this.

"Li Mu, what is your dream then?" Xing Daorong asked suddenly, looking at the stars after some thought.

Lin Yue also pricked up his ears at this point.

Military Generals recruited through recruitment tokens, like Pan Feng, had memories that could be said to be missing or distorted, as if they had been deliberately erased and altered.

For example, in history, Pan Feng and Liu Sandao knew each other, but now, apart from being somewhat close, they didn't recognize each other at all when they first met.

Yet, they retained various martial arts, culture, and states of mind.

Li Mu, however, was different. The memories of the Central Plains natives in the game could be said to be complete and intact, so Lin Yue was a little curious.

"Me? My dream is to be a general," Li Mu said with a wild grass stalk in his mouth.

"My family has been scholars and farmers for generations. When I was fifteen, after much deliberation, I made a decision that went against my ancestors."

"Become a soldier?" Liu Sandao asked.

"Yes, it was very difficult at first, and my father was very reluctant until I joined the Golden Fire Cavalry two years later. Only then did my father stop opposing it."

"So I want to become a general, to let my father know that my Li family can produce not only scholars but also generals!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"It will come true," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Then, Military Marquis, what is your dream?" Li Mu asked in return.

Lin Yue pondered for a moment but couldn't find an answer.

At first, he just wanted to see the Charm of this game, but now he was deeply immersed in it.

He couldn't tell if this 99% realistic game was real or not, and his heart gradually wavered.

"Just live each day well," Lin Yue said.

"My Lord, why should we live each day well?" Pan Feng asked.

Lin Yue suddenly shouted loudly, "Because I love it here!"

Immediately after, Xing Daorong also shouted loudly, "I love it here too! The rice here is unlimited!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Then a roar came, echoing throughout the entire Encampment:

"Damn it, not sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you howling about here!"

Lin Yue and Xing Daorong, hearing She Jian's roar, quickly shrank their necks and ran back to the camp!
