From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 2 Strategy Guide

Just when everyone was discussing the issue enthusiastically on the forum, a poster named [Lemon Duck] posted a message.

[Can you recruit famous generals and counselors from the Three Kingdoms during the novice period? I recruited Zhuge Liang]

After Ning Mengya published this post, it immediately sparked heated discussion.

"Fuck! Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"

"Zhuge Liang!!!"

"I envy you, big boss. I, Daniel Wu, really envy you!"

"Boss, how can we let others play? Why are all the people I recruited in the Novice Village Li Dazui, Zhang Datou and Ma Dajiao?"

"Boss, this is the best luck, isn't it?"

"A multi-million dollar bonus is waving at you, rich brother, are you in need of a girl? She's 36D"

"I was able to recruit such a top-notch strategist during my novice period...what else can I say? Comparison is the thief of envy!"

Stupid netizens expressed their envy and jealousy.

Ning Mengya didn't expect that her luck would be so good. By recruiting Zhuge Liang at the beginning, she can basically walk sideways in the pursuit of the throne!

At the same time, another popular strategy post also sparked heated discussion.

"Has everyone recruited refugees and entered the Novice Village?"

"I would like to share a little insight with you. I believe it will be helpful to you."

"After a day of hard work, I found that the NPCs in Wending all have their own intelligence. They are definitely not simple NPCs. They are actually no different from ordinary farmers in the Three Kingdoms period, except that their cognition and knowledge are slightly lower than ours."

"When playing the game, never underestimate these NPCs. They are also loyal to the player lord. If you overwork them, they are very likely to risk their lives to escape. Once your NPCs have escaped, congratulations, you can restart the game. But at this point you are already far behind others, and it will be even more difficult to surpass them... So, please treat your NPCs well."

"Secondly, there will be some special NPCs, generals, and counselors appearing during the novice period. It's only possible, but the chance is too small! As for those top generals and counselors, it's almost impossible for them to appear during the novice period - it's my guess."

"Finally, let me emphasize the key points! Players will have a three-month novice protection period, which is nine hours in the real world. That's right, the time between the real world and the championship is converted into three hours for one month."

"After the novice protection period is over, you will encounter various bandits such as horse thieves, bandits, flower thieves, mountain bandits, etc. These bandits have different needs, but their biggest goal should be food. So - if you can recruit a general, even if it is the lowest-level general in the Three Kingdoms, congratulations, you will hardly encounter any danger after the novice protection period is over!"

"Remember, remember! Your NPC's combat power is shockingly low. Don't try to fight the bandits. You don't have the ability yet. As for how to deal with the crisis, it's up to the players to figure out how to deal with it themselves."

The number of views of this post reached hundreds of thousands in a short period of time. After all, "Ask the Tribe" has the temptation of tens of millions of bonuses, and the game level itself is also top-notch. The experience feels like a real person immersed in it. With the blessing of the two buffs, "Ask the Tribe" has almost become a game for all the people.

There were many comments below the post.

"Wow, thanks for the guide! I benefited a lot from it! (Reward 100 coins)"

"Thank you, sir, may good people live a peaceful life!"

"Boss, if I tell you that someone has recruited Zhuge Liang during the novice period, how will you respond?"

This post was immediately reposted by tens of thousands of people. "What the hell! What kind of top-notch European emperor is this?"

"We've recruited Zhuge Liang... but we're still worried about the bandits!"

"That's right, Wolong gently waved his feather fan, and once the clever plan came out, the bandits would be routed!"

"I'm so envious. Which European emperor is this? I want to support him..."

"Oh my god, Zhuge Liang!!! Ahhh! Why isn't it me? Why didn't I recruit anything?"

Before long, countless more posts began to appear under Ning Mengya's post, most of which were drooling with envy, which greatly satisfied Ning Mengya's vanity.

Even if you haven't read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you probably know how high Zhuge Liang's status was in the Three Kingdoms!
There are five levels of strategists, namely level five strategist, level four strategist, level three strategist, level two strategist, and level one strategist. Above the level one strategist there are top strategists!
Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly a person who surpasses the first-class strategists!

While others were still worrying about the end of the novice protection period and how to deal with bandits, Ning Mengya didn't need to worry about that at all.

[Boss, I have a small suggestion. You have recruited a top strategist like Zhuge Liang. Are you sure you still have time to post here? If Mr. Wolong is not satisfied with you, you can run away at any time! ]

[Boss, I offer 20 RMB, can you end the transaction with Mr. Wolong during the novice period? ]

When Ning Mengya saw the first hot post, she panicked for a moment. Yes, what should I do if Mr. Wolong feels that I, his lord, have treated him unfairly and he runs away?
Thinking of this, Ning Mengya quickly re-entered the game.

……

Zhuge Liang was using a hoe to cultivate the land, and he found that his efficiency in cultivating the land was much higher than that of other farmer NPCs!

Sure enough, the hoe he used was different from the one used by Li Er and others, and it greatly improved the efficiency of reclamation!

[Successfully reclaimed five acres of land, mission completed, experience value +10]

[Name]: Zhuge Liang

[Occupation]: Farmer
[Experience]: 15/15, upgradeable
[Reward]: Sharp hatchet
【Task】: Cut down five trees
It can actually be upgraded? Zhuge Liang didn't hesitate at all and immediately clicked the upgrade button!
[Name]: Zhuge Liang

[Occupation]: Farmer
[Experience]: 0/100
[Force value]: 10
[Items]: Sharp hoe, sharp hatchet
【Task】: Cut down five trees
The farmer NPC in Wending has no combat power value, so after the novice protection period ends, once encountering bandits, the farmer NPC is almost certain to die!

However, it is not impossible for NPCs to cultivate military power. This requires players to use money and iron to synthesize and upgrade the farmer's military power. Generally, players will not waste money and iron ore on this. After all, the growth value of farmer NPCs is limited. They would rather continue to recruit NPCs after the village is upgraded, hoping to recruit militia to protect the village.

Zhuge Liang was very excited, as expected, this was his golden finger, its growth attribute was far higher than other ordinary NPCs!

Now I am a civilian, so as my experience points continue to increase, can I be transferred to a militiaman?

Zhuge Liang had completed his reclamation task, so he simply left the field and took a rest under a big tree.

Ning Mengya hurried to the reclaimed farmland and carefully counted the number of her NPCs, one, two, three, four... After counting several times, she found that there was indeed one person missing!
When she looked again, she was almost crying.

"My Mr. Wolong...really ran away?!"
