Ignoring the system notification, Lu Bu looked at Bull with an unfriendly expression and said,""Why is my strength weakened so much?”
Raging Bull smiled bitterly. 10 points of strength was equivalent to the strength of a special forces soldier. Many players were secretly laughing at him because of 10 points of strength, but this boss was still complaining. If other players heard this, would they die of shame? Due to technical issues, the game's initial strength was only set according to the player's physique. In other words, as long as the player's physique was comparable to that of a special forces soldier, his initial strength would be 10 points. However, if they really fought, an ordinary player with 10 points of strength might not be a match for a martial arts expert in real life, even if the martial arts expert's strength was not as good as his.
However, after 10 o'clock, it was up to the players to train hard. It was easy for those who had a foundation in real life, but for people like him, who did not have any martial arts foundation in real life, he had to train hard or find a famous teacher in the game to improve his martial arts. However, how many famous teachers could there be in the Three Kingdoms? There were only a few hundred famous players like Lu Bu and Guan Yu in the entire China server, but there were hundreds of millions of players.
After explaining the problems of martial strength and intelligence to Lu Bu in detail, Lu Bu said thoughtfully,""You mean we have to start all over again? Then why can't I cultivate my internal energy?”
"This, internal strength can only be cultivated when your martial strength reaches 60. This is a hard rule set by the system.”Bull explained.
"Wen Hou, what should we do now? Are we building a village here?" Barbaric Bull asked. As the two of them were consecutive VIPs, he had heard the system notification.
"Let's occupy a city first. Then, we'll take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occupy Jizhou. We'll recruit soldiers, buy horses, and recruit talented people.”Lu Bu said casually. This was something that he had already thought of.
Hearing this, a few black lines appeared on Bull's forehead, and a drop of cold sweat slowly dripped down. This old man probably hadn't adapted to his current strength yet. He carefully reminded,"Wen Hou, I'm afraid you don't have the strength to occupy a city right now.”
Hearing this, Lu Bu was stunned. He had chosen Jizhou because it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He could take advantage of the situation and occupy a city. With his bravery, he believed that it would not be a problem to occupy a good city. Then, he could recruit soldiers and buy horses to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occupy Jizhou, this rich land. However, all of this was built on his peerless bravery. Now that he had no strength, how could he occupy the city?
He had never expected that his strength would be suppressed after entering this inexplicable space! It had completely disrupted his plans. With his current strength, he was probably only on par with an ordinary ten-year-old. How could he possibly occupy the city?
"My Lord, I have something to say!”Zhang Xue suddenly spoke. Bull looked at this NPC beauty in surprise. Normally, NPCs would only answer their master's questions. Why was this NPC taking the initiative to speak?
"Speak!" Lu Bu didn't have the same doubts as Raging Bull, and he was still frowning as he thought about it.
"This subordinate believes that although the eunuchs are in power and the Emperor is muddle-headed, the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty has not been damaged. Moreover, we have no soldiers and generals now, so it is not suitable for us to use troops. We should do as the general said and build villages first to accumulate strength. From this subordinate's point of view, the people of the world are in dire straits now. The Emperor does not care about the sufferings of the people. Sooner or later, the people will revolt. At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and rise.”
Who was this woman that Wen Hou had found? Bull looked at Zhang Xue in surprise. If it was a player, it would not be a big deal to say such words, but for an NPC to say such words, at least it proved that her knowledge and intelligence were not low.
"How long is it until the Yellow Turban Rebellion?”Lu Bu looked at Bull and asked in a deep voice.
"The current game time is August 183, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion began in 184. There are about four or five months left.”Barbaric Bull said with some uncertainty. He was not sure when the Yellow Turban Rebellion started. He only knew that it was in the beginning of 184.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. We'll build the village first.”Lu Bu nodded his head and agreed with Zhang Xue's suggestion. Four months. Lu Bu believed that he had four months to recover some of his strength. It wouldn't be too late to occupy the city then. This fellow was still thinking about the city.
"Ding, you have accepted the suggestion of your subordinate Zhang Xue. Zhang Xue has developed a feeling of confidante towards you, intimacy has increased to 25.”
Lu Bu ignored the system notification and said to the two,""How to build a village?"
Bull had already thought of this question, so he quickly said,"To build a village, we must have a blueprint. There is a certain chance of finding a blueprint in the wild. We can also obtain it from other villages. However, with our current strength…Wen Hou, where are you going?”Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lu Bu walking up the mountain. Zhang Xue naturally followed Lu Bu. With 87 points of loyalty, she would not betray him under normal circumstances.
"Those bandits came from this side, let's attack them.”Lu Bu's voice rang out from afar. Bull wanted to slap himself. A small stronghold had dozens of bandits. With Lu Bu's current strength, how could he possibly take them down? Moreover, they had just occupied this place. If there was no one guarding it, other players could directly occupy the unguarded territory.
Seeing Lu Bu's figure getting further and further away, Bull gritted his teeth and followed after him. Without Lu Bu, with his 2 points of strength, it was impossible for him to defend this territory.
Following the direction that the bandits had come from, they quickly found the stronghold. It was a very small stronghold with about 20 to 30 people. In the game, if there were less than 100 people, a stronghold with more than 10 people would be called a small stronghold. As for those with less than 10 people, they could only be called raiders and could not build a stronghold.
"You call this a counterfeit? Is there really a village blueprint inside?" Lu Bu's eyes were filled with disbelief. In his opinion, a stronghold like this was not worthy of being called a stronghold.
"Indeed, but it's just a small village with no more than 100 people.”Barbaric Bull said with certainty. At the same time, he was secretly rejoicing in his heart. Based on Lu Bu's fighting style, he might really be able to take down this stronghold.
"Small? Could it be that there's a large one?" Lu Bu asked.
"Strongholds with 100 to 500 people are medium-sized, 500 to 1000 people are large-sized, 1000 to 1000 people are super, and 5000 to 5000 people are giant.”Wild Bull explained in detail. In the game, strongholds were just farming spots for players. Although they might not increase their strength and intelligence, they could obtain some necessary items by attacking these strongholds. For example, village blueprints, city blueprints, various construction blueprints, population, and resources could be obtained by attacking strongholds.
Lu Bu turned around and left. Bull asked in surprise,""Wen Hou, you don't want the village blueprint anymore?”
"Go find a medium-sized village. Such a weak village is not worthy of my help.”Lu Bu's calm voice came from afar. Bull was shocked by this sentence. Was his brain damaged? Who would think that the enemy was weak?
"Wait, Wen Hou, the Basic Village Blueprint can only be obtained from Small Strongholds. The Medium Strongholds only have the Medium Village Upgrade Blueprint, which is useless to us.”Seeing that Lu Bu was not stopping, Bull hurriedly advised.
"My lord, the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, it's surrounded by mountains and close to water. It's a good foundation. This subordinate suggests that we take down this mountain stronghold.”Zhang Xue also suggested with a serious expression.
Their suggestion made Lu Bu hesitate. He knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to take down a village of 100 to 500 people. However, his pride and his heart of a strong warrior would not allow him to bully these villages that he thought were not challenging at all. It would be an insult to him.
He glanced at the mountain stronghold. The mountain bandits had already discovered the three uninvited guests and had gathered. Under the lead of a burly man, they rode over on a horse with an extremely arrogant expression.
"Leave the women behind, kill the men, and search their belongings!”A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the burly man on the horse. Coupled with his fierce face, he had the temperament of a tough bandit.
Although Bull had a strong physique, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Although he knew that this was a game, the game was too realistic. The bandit's voice was like a beast's. Fortunately, he had seen the scene when Lu Bu had just transmigrated. Although Bull was a little scared, he did not lose his composure. At least he could still stand. As for Zhang Xue, ever since Lu Bu had wiped out the bandits with a wave of his hand, she had developed a blind trust in him. Although her delicate body was still trembling, it was only a female's instinct. Her expression was much calmer than the barbaric bull.
He didn't provoke them, but they provoked him instead? Lu Bu's eyes turned cold. He slowly stepped forward and shielded Zhang Xue behind him. This was a natural reaction of his chauvinistic nature.
"Kill them!" When the bandits heard their leader's words, they brandished their weapons and charged at the three of them.
"Don't be afraid." Patting Zhang Xue's shoulder comfortingly, Lu Bu's body moved swiftly, instantly appearing in front of the bandit soldier who was running the most happily. He didn't use his weapon, but reached out to pull his chin, pushing and pulling.
Crack! The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard as the young bandit fell limply to the ground. Lu Bu grabbed the podao in his hand and casually swung it, beheading another bandit. At the same time, he spun his body and swung his right leg like a whip at the chests of two bandits. A visible dent appeared in the chests of the two bandits, and their bodies flew backwards, colliding with the other bandits behind them.
Without stopping, he once again closed in on the bandit leader. More than ten bandits rushed over, but not a single one of them could withstand a single blow from Lu Bu. Moreover, Lu Bu's attacks were extremely heavy, and all those who were directly attacked by him were killed in one blow. Lu Bu did not even spare them a second glance. Even though their strength had been weakened, their control over their bodies and strength, as well as their combat techniques, were still there. These bandits, who only had an average of three points in strength, could not compare to him.
"Wen Hou, let me help you!" Bull's blood was boiling as he watched from behind. He rushed forward and picked up a podao from the ground. He fought with a small fry, but the small fry's fighting experience was obviously much higher than his. He was flustered after a few moves, and there were many scars on his body.
"Go back! Leave this to me. You go and protect Zhang Xue!”After kicking the small fry away, Lu Bu glared at Barbaric Bull and shouted.
His words were naturally convincing. Bull nodded his head subconsciously and turned back to Zhang Xue. However, his eyes were fixed on Lu Bu. In reality, he had never seen such a blood-boiling fight. Even those classic action movies were not as exciting as Lu Bu's fight! Bull understood why Lu Bu's subordinates were willing to work for him.
However, what happened next hurt Bull's pride. One of the minions charged at them when Lu Bu wasn't paying attention. Bull bravely rushed forward, but was kicked down by the minion. Just as Bull thought that Zhang Xue was finished, Zhang Xue suddenly waved her slender hand, and the minion's speed suddenly slowed down. Then, Zhang Xue took out a white feather fan from her waist and slammed it hard on the minion's face. The minion died on the spot. Bull then realized that the woman Lu Bu had brought was not only intelligent, but also very smart. He was even stronger than him when he stretched out his hand, making Bull feel so ashamed that he couldn't show his face.
"Hand over the village blueprint and supplies, and I'll spare your life!”Lu Bu stabbed his spear into the chest of the last bandit goon and pointed his steel blade at the village leader.
At this moment, the village chief's eyes were no longer as arrogant as before. He was a small-scale village chief, and his combat strength was between 8 - 15. This valiant-looking village chief was obviously at the bottom of the pack. His courage was not as valiant as his appearance, and he almost slid off his horse. He knelt in front of Lu Bu and said,"Hero, please spare my life. I was forced to become a bandit. I just wanted to make a living.”
"Ding…Small Mountain Stronghold Leader Guo Liang has the intention to repent and turn from evil to good. Do you accept?”
"Bring me in." Lu Bu's indifferent voice rang out. He couldn't be bothered to use his blade against such a weakling. As if he had been pardoned, the chief scrambled to his feet and let the three of them into the stronghold.
