However, there was a saying if you don’t seek death, you won’t die. As a matter of fact, Arnold’s passionate last words before death made Shi Hao somewhat embarrassed.
Arnold’s eyes were wide and his voice was steady as he said: “Lord Village Chief, I’m willing to use my life to save Mina. But after I die, Mina will be entrusted to you. I believe that you will definitely become a great personage in the future. I hope you will treat Mina well. Like that, I will not have any worries.”
Shi Hao was stunned. Haha, don’t joke around! Fortunately, Su Xiao was not here at this moment, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a GG for him. There was no doubt that there was only Su Xiao in Shi Hao’s heart. Besides, he didn’t even have any crooked thoughts on Shan Wanhong, the number one campus beauty of H Province’s C University. Would Shi Hao have any other thoughts about Mina? Naturally, he wouldn’t. Shi Hao had to resolve this matter quickly. He absolutely mustn’t let Arnold, this local tyrant, announce this everywhere.
Alas! Before Shi Hao could speak, the situation changed again. Mina woke up just in time and just happened to hear the last words of Arnold. She then laughed in her heart. Naturally, she knew that she had already recovered completely. Moreover, our clever Mina quickly guessed all the things that happened to save her.
Mina got up under the stunned gaze of Arnold and said with a smile: “Lord Village Chief, I have already recovered, so don’t bully Arnold. Hehe…”
This time, it was Arnold’s turn to be dumbfounded. Fortunately, Arnold was not stupid. Under the explanation of Mina, Arnold quickly understood that everything was just a joke. Naturally, he also no longer had any misunderstanding about the relationship between Shi Hao and Mina. Mina was the first person to luckily save Shi Hao, and Shi Hao also treated Mina as a cute little sister.
Arnold touched his cheek shyly and laid beside Mina. As for Shi Hao, he just smiled without saying anything.
The sky gradually darkened and the villagers of Striped Stone Village started a bonfire to start the banquet to welcome their new Village Chief, Shi Hao. As for Shi Hao, he sighed looking at the poor condition of Striped Stone Village. After all, even during the banquet, the villagers could barely take out a single roasted chicken. This was definitely not because the villagers of Striped Stone Village were dissatisfied with Shi Hao and they were making things difficult for Shi Hao. In fact, Shi Hao had already checked. Striped Stone Village’s population support had actually reached 100! Such villagers would never be mean to Shi Hao.
Shi Hao loudly said: “Everyone, you all also know it. I came from the continent. But I cannot take you all to the continent. However, you all can rest assured. You all will not be bullied again from here onwards. You all should work hard to establish a happy and harmonious village. You all can’t always make a living by picking up garbage. By the way, even if your original Village Chief has left, where is your administration steward? Did he leave too?”
The scene suddenly became a lot quieter. The eyes of the villagers flickered as if they were reluctant to mention the sad story. As it turned out that after the previous Village Chief left the village, the administration steward took the burden of managing the village. That steward was also as experienced as Wang Fu (Twin Dragons Village) and Zhang Qin (Fire Dragon Village). Unfortunately, regardless of how hard he worked, Striped Stone Village was still that poor and backward Striped Stone Village. However, he, himself, died of illness shortly before Shi Hao’s arrival due to overwork and exhaustion.
This was beyond Shi Hao’s expectation! He thought for a long time and judged that, in <<Kingdom>>, if the old people were often mentally exhausted, then they might be punished by the system and forced to die. This was also in line with the real-world situation.
Shi Hao sighed and comforted everyone. In the end, under the recommendation of everyone, Shi hao elected an elderly man named Rhodes as the new administration steward of Striped Stone Village. Rhodes was also a good friend of the former administration steward. Therefore, no one objected to Rhodes taking over this position.
Then, putting aside the heavy topic of administration steward, everyone gradually became lively again. The banquet of Striped Stone Village didn’t end until late at night.
The next day, Shi Hao talked with Rhodes and instructed everything that needed to be done. Shi Hao even explained the role of Shadow Dragon Soul. Naturally, he intentionally integrated the role of his Soul of the Warrior with Shadow Dragon Soul. After all, Shi Hao had only let Feng Tianhao know the true secret of Soul of the Warrior skill. Some older people of Twin Dragon Village (the group of people that followed Shi Hao from the beginning) could guess something, but they didn’t know the detail. Shi Hao intended to keep the secret of Soul of the Warrior skill as long as possible.
Okay! At this moment, Shi Hao was ready to return. It was also time to go back. Su Xiao was still waiting for him, and the upgrade of Twin Dragons Village was also waiting for his return to initiate. Even if the people of Striped Stone Village were more enthusiastic about Shi Hao, they still had to part when the time came.
However, before leaving, Shi Hao didn’t forget a thing, the gift he prepared for Mina! Merely, he didn’t plan to give it to Mina in person. He secretly found Arnold! Some things were the most suitable only if Arnold gave to Mina.
“Arnold, come and see what this is?” Shi Hao gave the skill book for Mina to Arnold. Arnold checked the description of the skill and was overjoyed! This skill book was called Bewitchingly Charming. It was not an ordinary skill. It was a pseudo-historical NPC skill that could make ordinary NPC evolve into a historical NPC. This skill was unique. Moreover, historical NPCs and players couldn’t use this skill book. All other characters, i.e. only ordinary NPCs could use this skill book, and once this skill was learned, it couldn’t be forgotten. Once you learn it, it was a lifetime matter.
[Skill Name: Bewitchingly Charming]
[Skill Grade: pseudo-historical NPC skill, no grade classification]
[Skill Type: Active, 15 MP]
[Weapon Restriction: None]
[Current Rank and Mastery: Level 1, 0/100]
[Skill Effect: Give damage to opposite sex enemy, +12 attack, and bewitched for 2 seconds]
In fact, Arnold’s Tyrant Soul was also a pseudo-historical NPC skill. Therefore, Arnold was very clear about the importance of Bewitchingly Charming skill book. With this skill, Mina would definitely be amazing.
Eh? However, this was also the first time that Shi Hao learned that Arnold also had a pseudo-historical NPC skill. This surprised Shi Hao. After Shi Hao asked for more, it became clear. As it turned out that Arnold’s Tyrant Soul skill came from a mysterious treasury. That place had a hidden treasury guard. He would secretly observe all people that came there, and as long as someone was pleasing to his eyes, he would give that person a reward. Naturally, everyone could only get one reward at the most. It was useless to go several times.
At this moment, Shi Hao analyzed the information and smiled. Shi Hao wanted to meet that mysterious treasury guard. Unfortunately, he had to go back now. Therefore, he left this matter for the next time and returned to Central Flower Region of Divine Flower Continent via the portal next to the garbage dump in Striped Stone Village…
