County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

A golden legend?!

Looking at the panel in front of him, Han Yilin's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.

"Quickly, confirm the recruitment."

"You're the one!"

Gold quality,

Furthermore, it possesses a combat strength value of 97, which is close to the maximum and infinitely close to red quality.

not to mention,

Based on the information revealed in the chat channel just now,

Most of the refugees recruited by others are rare, and it's hard to find even one special talent. This guy has a perfect start!

At this time,

The light screen flickered slightly.

Recruitment successful!

You have gained 99 ordinary refugees.

You have obtained 1 Gold Special Talent.

[Notice: The refugees have arrived outside the city. Please arrange for their resettlement as soon as possible.]

As the notification ended, the recruitment interface closed.

Han Yilin didn't waste any time.

He left immediately.

They were preparing to resettle the displaced people.

He turned off the system light screen, and only then did he notice where he was.

The so-called City Lord's Mansion is less a residence and more a dilapidated courtyard that can barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Half of the courtyard wall had collapsed, weeds grew in the gaps between the blue bricks, the pillars were covered with mottled marks, and the paper windows in several places were already tattered and rattled in the wind.

Even so,

If compared to outside the mansion,

At least this is a place where people live.

When Han Yilin stepped out of the mansion, the county town before him was a scene of utter devastation.

The house collapsed.

The road was covered with gravel and rotten wood.

In many places, the base of the walls remains blackened by fire.

Looking around, not a single complete house could be seen; the entire city was lifeless, leaving Han Yilin speechless.

"This is what you call a county town?"

"It's clearly a ruin... no wonder there's not a single person here."

The point is,

On this basis,

A month later, they will face another attack from bandits...

"This game for everyone is like starting on hell difficulty for the average player!"

Crossing the street,

quickly,

Arriving at the city gate,

A large number of refugees had gathered outside the city. They were all dressed in rags, thin and pale, numbering exactly one hundred, including both men and women.

Upon seeing Han Yilin arrive,

A disturbance broke out in the crowd.

An elderly man, who looked a bit older, walked forward shakily and knelt down on the ground.

"This humble subject pays his respects to Your Excellency, the County Magistrate."

As he knelt down

The refugees behind them also knelt down one after another.

"Please, Magistrate, take me in."

"We were originally refugees from the north. Our village was burned down by bandits, and we had no way to survive, so we fled all the way here."

"We only ask that the magistrate grant us a meal, and we will serve you."

Looking at the fear and numbness in these people's eyes,

Han Yilin discovered that this was not a simple game; these so-called NPCs were all living, breathing people, not just cold numbers in a game.

They will be hungry, they will be afraid, they are flesh and blood...

After a long silence,

Han Yilin slowly said, "Get up, all of you. Since you're here, I certainly won't kick you out."

Upon hearing this,

Many people thanked them repeatedly.

in the crowd,

A faint, low sobbing sound could also be heard.

As more and more refugees began to enter the city, Han Yilin's gaze swept quickly across the crowd, searching for the Golden Legend.

however,

To Han Yilin's surprise,

I scanned the area.

I didn't see the imposing, burly, and fierce general I had imagined, the kind of person who could take on ten thousand men.

"That shouldn't be the case."

Han Yilin was somewhat puzzled: "These refugees are all emaciated and pale. Shouldn't a fierce warrior with a combat strength of 97 stand out from the crowd?"

"Did I miss something?"

While wondering,

suddenly,

Han Yilin's gaze paused for a moment.

Because a golden name flashed across the face of a figure who had just entered the city.

It was at this time that

Han Yilin then noticed that the powerful general he had just recruited actually had a feminine name: Cheng Murou.

Lying trough,

A woman?!

She was a young woman.

She looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a faded light-colored dress. She was slender with thin shoulders and delicate features, but her face was pale from the long journey.

Looking around,

The woman had soft features and gentle eyes.

Because of her slender figure, she stands out in a crowd as the one who most needs protection.

This scene,

This completely stunned Han Yilin.

???

Incredulous, he quickly glanced at the attribute panel, looking at the combat power value several times before confirming that he hadn't misread it.

This girl... has a combat power of 97?

Did you miss a decimal point?

the other side,

Cheng Murou, who was preparing to enter the city,

Noticing Han Yilin's gaze, she slowly stepped forward and bowed: "This humble woman, Cheng Murou, greets Your Excellency, the County Magistrate."

Her voice was very soft.

With that gentle and delicate appearance, let alone going into battle to kill the enemy, Han Yilin suspected that if he punched her, she would probably cry.

He swallowed.

Han Yilin couldn't help but ask, "You... are a military general?"

Cheng Murou was slightly taken aback, then nodded somewhat shyly.

I guess so.

"My father used to be a bodyguard, and I learned some martial arts from him since I was a child."

Have you learned some martial arts?

Han Yilin glanced at her again, her martial arts strength was as high as 97... You call this learning some martial arts? What about others who practice for a lifetime?

Radio calisthenics?

Han Yilin is now genuinely suspicious.

The game's character modeling has issues.

With skinny arms and legs, how can he have a combat strength of 97?

Seeing that Han Yilin hadn't said anything, Cheng Murou thought she must have said something wrong, and her expression became a little more nervous.

"My lord, is there something wrong with this young lady?"

Han Yilin snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head.

"no."

"I just didn't expect that someone who looks so frail would actually be a military general."

Cheng Murou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat shyly.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"This young lady does not seem to be a martial arts practitioner."

It's more than just not like it...

It's like Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree; Han Yilin even suspects that this game was made by AI.

Suppressing the shock in my heart

Han Yilin inquired, "Whether it resembles me or not is unimportant. The only thing is that the county town is in dire need of reconstruction. I wonder if you, young lady, would be willing to stay and serve me?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

In Cheng Murou's eyes, which were like autumn water,

A touch of sadness flashed across his face.

Disappeared quickly.

Finally, she bowed gracefully and said, "We fled all the way here and had nowhere to go. It is already a great kindness that you are willing to take us in."

"If you do not mind, I am willing to stay in Zhatian County and await your orders."

Unlike the previous refugees who joined,

After Cheng Murou finished speaking

The system light curtain suddenly popped up.

[Talented Cheng Murou joins your territory.]

Cheng Murou's loyalty level: 65

[Note: Loyalty is affected by factors such as treatment, appointment, rewards, battle achievements, and territory development.]
