Standalone Northern and Southern Dynasties

Chapter 43 New Orange Follower (Update )
"Big Orange, go catch the mouse!"

Su Yuyao put her hands on her hips and scolded the lazy orange cat slave in front of her.

The raccoon pretended not to understand and just exposed its belly to Su Yuyao, looking like it was in trouble.

Su Yuyao couldn't help but touch the cat's belly and said, "You cat can't catch mice, and you just eat every day! If you keep doing this, I'll stew you in the pot!"

Although saying harsh words, Su Yuyao still touched the comfortable fur on the belly of the raccoon, squinted her eyes, and made a comfortable purring sound.

When Su Ze returned home and saw Su Yuyao petting a cat, he felt as if he had traveled back to that peaceful era when young girls could pet cats comfortably on sunny afternoons.

"Brother, why are you back so early today?"

These days Su Ze has been practicing martial arts in preparation for joining the military selection team, and he doesn't come back until the evening every day. I didn't expect him to come back so early today.

"I felt a little tired today, so I came back early. I'm going to go back and rest first."

Su Ze said hello to his sister and returned to his room.

"Open the system."

Su Ze came back so early today because the system store was about to be refreshed.

After opening the system, Su Ze clicked on the store interface, and sure enough, five grids of new products were refreshed!

Look at the quality again, one orange, one purple, two blues and one green!
Orange is out again!
Sure enough, with more slots in the store, it is easier to get high-quality goods!

Su Ze became more enthusiastic about completing the system task, and he quickly checked the product details in the store.

[The Yulin Cavalry who are good at shooting]

Grade: Orange;
Effect: Can increase the archer's bow shooting hit rate in the team;
Comment: "A Yulin cavalryman who is good at archery. You need to give him a horse."

Price: 800 wen tai and 100 baht coins, and a maintenance fee of wen tai and baht coins is required every month.

Su Ze no longer had any doubts about the system's capabilities. Su Bai's abilities were already outstanding enough. This Yulin cavalryman must be the top archer in the Yulin Army.

And looking at the pixelated figures in full armor in the store, Su Ze had a guess, and he decisively chose to buy it. A cavalryman holding a longbow and wearing armor appeared in front of Su Ze!

really!

Like Su Bai, this cavalryman is equipped with "equipment"!

A full set of Yulin armor, holding the Yulin standard longbow!

"I have met the Lord!"

Su Ze looked at the armor on the cavalry, his eyes shining.

This is armor!

Since the Han Dynasty, privately possessing armor has been a serious crime!

Zhou Yafu, who made great contributions in the early Han Dynasty, was accused of treason and starved to death because he secretly stored armor.

Since Emperor Xiaowen's reform, weapons such as swords and knives can be worn, but armor must be kept in the armory. Even the kings of the royal family are not allowed to keep armor privately.

Su Ze seemed to have discovered a "loophole" in the system. He could easily strip off the armor of the cavalryman in front of him. Such a full set of armor would be very valuable!

But Su Ze quickly gave up this idea. He was not here to play a business simulation game. In times of chaos, no amount of money would make any sense.

"From now on, I'll call you Su Lin. Are you good at archery?"

"My Lord, Su Lin can shoot a willow at a hundred paces."

shoot with great precision!

Su Ze was overjoyed. This could be considered a sharpshooter in history books! These days, he practiced archery in the southern wilderness, but he could only barely hit the target from thirty steps away.

You have to know that the difficulty of shooting a hundred steps and thirty steps is as different as heaven and earth. If you want to hit the swaying willow branch from a hundred steps away, there are not many people in the entire Yulin Army who can do it!

As far as Su Ze knew, soldiers with excellent archery skills in the Yulin Army would be selected to become Sheshengshi, the most elite archery unit in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Their selection criteria were simply to hit a willow branch at fifty steps.

Su Ze finally understood the meaning of the system's orange quality. What is the most precious thing in this world? It is naturally talent!

"Can you teach me archery?"

Su Lin nodded and said, "Of course."

Su Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed. If he could also teach skills, the value of these orange followers would be even higher.

Su Ze asked again: "Can you teach Su Da archery?"

Su Lin shook his head and said, "Su Da has no talent for archery, so I can't teach him."

As expected, the abilities of the followers spawned by the system are fixed, with no room for growth.

That’s right, if system followers can be cultivated, that would be incredible.

However, since Su Lin can teach archery, he can also select soldiers who are good at shooting to form an elite archery camp in the future, and let Su Lin serve as an instructor to teach the soldiers archery.

Moreover, this follower has an effect, "it can increase the archery hit rate of the team's archers". Is it similar to the halo effect in real-time strategy games?
Although the halo only benefits the squad, an elite squad capable of hitting the target from a hundred paces away can play a huge role in the combat of this era, which is enough for Su Ze to look forward to!

"Take off your armor first and store it in my storage space."

With the help of Su Ze, Su Lin took off his armor. Su Ze stuffed the armor into the storage space and then heaved a sigh of relief. Hiding armor is a serious crime. It would be terrible if someone reported it. Fortunately, there is storage space to use.

Next, looking at the purple item, Su Ze was a little surprised. It turned out to be another follower.

[Dog thief who is good at disguise]

Grade: Purple;
Effect: Appearing in the team will cause disgust among other followers;

Comment: "There are people in the world who wear dog fur and steal it. People don't realize it. They are just thieves because they are using the dog's fur. So people don't suspect them."

Price: 500 Wentai and Wuzhu coins, and a pot of wine is required every three days as maintenance fee.

After Su Ze paid with silk, a short and wretched middle-aged man appeared in front of Su Ze.

Su Lin, who had just been summoned, showed a look of contempt and couldn't help but turn his head away from the dog thieves.

"I'll call you Su Dao from now on. What are your abilities?"

Su Dao chuckled and took out a whole dog skin from somewhere. He lay on the ground and crawled into the dog skin. After a while, a lifelike "dog" appeared in front of Su Ze.

Then the "dog" began to run and jump around the house, and its movements were exactly the same as those of a dog, with no discernible difference.

Su Dao started barking again, and even the neighbor's dog started barking as well. Su Ze was stunned by his amazing skill.

Su Dao stood up again, took off the dog skin, rolled it up and wrapped it around his waist again, and turned into the short and wretched middle-aged man again.

Su Dao's ability is also very useful. Su Ze looked at the three items at the back of the store, which were a blue follower [the taciturn embroiderer], a blue item [a bag of steel-tufted feather arrows], and the last green follower [a timid and rough servant].

The only regret is that I didn’t get the beast to assist in hunting. The store should have three more chances to refresh before entering the stage of selecting the vanguard. I can only pray that it will be refreshed.

But looking at the four refreshed followers and a blue item, Su Ze couldn't help but sigh, what a great harvest!
