Chapter 8: Zhuge Dan

  Anyway, the system message finally ended. When I saw that toy pig's lucky and unlucky eyes, I really wanted to go up and twist its pig ears down, or if I had a summoning spell, I would summon our old Zhang family's eldest son out. Hehe, all of you readers know that my family's eldest son is a pig butcher.

  Enough idle chatter, let's take a look at my attribute panel together with the readers again. It's truly pitiful. All of the attributes, including the newly added troop type panel and formation panel, all of them have been maxed out.

  "Huh, what's that? Magic panel and Taoist panel? What? And there's also a military strategy panel? Let me take a look. Full? Just skim through it."

  "Huh? How did several system buttons appear? Title panel? Why is it so dense on top? I'm too lazy to look, they're all Master-level, it's embarrassing for me."

  "Oh, this button is the system reward panel. Open it up and hope it's not a copy of the system message. Fortunately, the record is quite detailed and even categorized. Don't look at "Already Executed", let's take a look at "Not Executed"."

  Oh my god! There are still so many unclaimed rewards. And this last line looks like it's going to give me a refreshing feeling? Not bad, "Hidden occupations can be given to new characters if not used". Exactly, what do I need so many hidden occupations for?

  I have some extremely bad news to tell all of you readers: that male voice is back again.

  "System Announcement: Player Zhang Haogu has completed the task of opening up the newbie village channel. The system rewards 1,000,000 experience points."

  "System Message: Player Zhang Haogu's reward has been doubled, and the system has awarded an additional 1,000,000 experience points."

  Immediately afterwards, a string of "ding" sounds rose up one after another, indicating an upgrade.

  I hadn't even had time to check my own rank when the male voice sounded again:

  "System Announcement: Taian Village players assisted player Zhang Haogu in completing the task of opening up a new route to Novice Village, and as a reward, all participating players have been awarded 10,000 experience points."

  Then I heard a wave of cheers rising and falling.

  "Why am I just getting experience points now?" I muttered to myself.

  "Because a player's attributes at level 0 are very important, the system has to wait until you've used up all your rewards before giving you experience. Now, although you haven't used up all your rewards, all your attributes have reached their maximum, so the system doesn't need to wait any longer." Toy Pig explained.

  "Oh." I looked enlightened.

  But then I remembered something: "Not interesting."

  "What does 'no fun' mean?" asked Toy Pig.

  "I haven't even left the newbie village yet, but I've already become a top-notch expert. It's no fun playing when you're this good."

  "You're really annoying, aren't you? You got a good deal and still act like a know-it-all. Can't you just try out some new roles? The system gave you so many new roles, it's to let you experience the hardships of other players." Toy Pig looked at me with disdain.

  "Yes, but how do I create a new role?" I looked puzzled.

  "Just now you couldn't, now look at your system buttons, there's one more."

  The voice of Toy Pig had just fallen when a male middle-aged voice sounded again:

  "System Announcement: Player Zhang Haogu has activated the new character creation system. From now on, all players can create a new character after meeting the requirements."

  "System Message: ……" [The ellipsis is added by me, omitting the content of the system reward.]

  "System Message: ……"[Omitted Double Reward Content.]

  I decided to create a new role, now I can transfer the opening of the hidden attribute panel at any time, and there are countless attribute points that can be transferred, so copying a super mutant is effortless. But that would make no sense. So I only transferred 100 potential points, nothing else.

  The new role was successfully established, and I named the new role "Gu Hao Zhang". Because I used the character "Zhang" in the name for the role, the core attributes of the new role were each increased by 5 points, and the hidden attributes were each increased by 20 points.

  After the new character Gu Hao Zhang was created in Tai'an Village, I gave him Knife Baby, Necklace Baby, Ring Baby and Boot Baby. Then I had Toy Pig teleport me out of the village to perfect the new character.

  In order to give the new role a similar feeling with other players, I simply added all potential points to the martial arts attribute, 25 points for each item. Then after equipping myself well, I started inviting players to PK.

  Because PK in newbie village has no impact on morality, I set up a new character to level up in the newbie village and handed it over to the system, then switched back to Zhang Haogu.

  In order to find Zhuge Liang, I directly let the toy pig transport me to Langzhong County. As soon as I landed, I heard someone salute me and say: "This young man is invited."

  "Who are you?" I opened wide my pure and bewildered eyes.

  "In the lower village of Zhuge, with a name that strikes fear." The young man in shorts replied.

  I was stunned on the spot. It seems that filling up luck is beneficial, as soon as I arrived at Langya, I ran into Zhuge Liang. However, I didn't expect the system to design this NPC as a novice.

  I hastily bowed and saluted: "So it's Master Kongming. A humble student of the Jianghu has paid his respects. May I ask, sir, what instructions do you have?"

  I think, since Zhuge Liang took the initiative to talk to me, he probably wants to give me a task to do.

  "Uh, well, I'm looking for a master, can you help me find a trustworthy one?"

  It is Zhuge Liang's mission, of course I will do it, what am I hesitating for?

  "Of course I can."

  It's strange that there was no system message. I couldn't help but curse, what a crappy system, I accepted the task and it didn't even give me a prompt.

  At this time I remembered that I had an 80% chance of inviting the task NPC to help, so I said: "Excuse me, sir, can you travel with me? This will also help you find your master as soon as possible."

  Zhuge Huan was taken aback, he obviously did not expect me to have such an invitation.

  He just replied: "I still need to study in Langya, I'm afraid I won't have time to go with you, little brother."

  I scolded the system again and encountered 20% for the first time.

  "At this moment, a male voice came: "System message: Player Zhang Haogu had in-depth communication with player Zhuge Zhan. The system rewards the player's language attribute to the top and reputation attribute to the top.""

  "System Message: Player Zhang Haogu has obtained double rewards. The system rewards this player with the highest upgrade of their Knowledge attribute and Perception attribute."

  "System Message: Player Zhang Haogu's language attribute and reputation attribute have reached the top, the top-up reward is zero, and the system compensation will leave the top-up reward for the new character."

  "System Message: Player Zhang Haogu's Intellect attribute and Perception attribute have reached the maximum. The top-up reward is zero, and the system compensation will reserve the top-up reward for a new character."

  "System Announcement: Player Zhang Haogu has activated the system's player mutual improvement function. From now on, all eligible players can improve through mutual exchange."

  I suddenly realized that the person in front of me was also a player and had deliberately come to tease me.

  The person opposite me suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god!" Then I saw him make a fist and say, "So the legendary number one master of the Three Kingdoms era, Zhang Haogu, is actually you. From today on, I, your younger brother, am willing to follow behind Big Brother Zhang."

  I was stunned, how did he know me?

  "Just then, a voice said: 'If the system hadn't reminded me just now, I wouldn't have known it was Zhang Da Ge. My name is Zhuge Zhan, with the character 'zhan' meaning to explain, and my courtesy name is Kong Ming, with 'kong' meaning to fear dragons and 'ming' meaning famous. Just now, I only chatted with Zhang Da Ge for a bit, and the system rewarded me with 1000 moral points, 1000 reputation points, 20 knowledge attribute points, and 20 thinking attribute points. With such a big brother, it will be much more comfortable for me to play in the game from now on.'"

  I was about to speak, when the male voice kept ringing non-stop. It turned out that after saying a couple of words to this guy, the system rewarded me again. In between, there were also prompts for Gu Hao Zhang's character and equipment upgrades.

  Zhuge's heart was even more delighted, and he looked at me with expectant eyes.

  "What are you doing standing here deceiving people?" I don't plan on letting him off easily.

  "It's fun." Zhuge Dan replied honestly.

  I thought it was okay for him to do that. He just took in a younger brother for no reason, but I'm not used to it. But if he asked me to refuse him...

  Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, I finally agreed: "Okay."
