Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Prefect’s Apology

”Why not take a good official position?”

Zhao Xiaoyiu was astonished.

”I used to think the same way. Having an official title would make handling affairs and managing interpersonal relationships more convenient, and easier to engage with and connect with certain people. However, after witnessing the skills of the elders, I realized that as long as one is strong enough, what difference does it make whether one holds an official position or not?”

Ding Ling, exhibiting full-level acting, displayed immense confidence:

”Once I become the world’s number one War General, there will be plenty of people inviting me to take office!”

Zhao Xiaoyiu, Zhao Yun, and the others suddenly comprehended, nodding in agreement, finding the reasoning sound!

In times of chaos.

A thousand troops are easy to find, but a capable general is hard to come by.

This is known to everyone.

And the world’s number one fierce general is extremely rare!

If Ding Ling becomes the world’s number one general, surely countless people will rush to ’offer him positions!’

Upon thinking this.

Zhao Yun and the others couldn’t help but increasingly agree with Ding Ling’s way of thinking.

Ding Ling did not offer further explanations, merely stating:

”Since Dong Xuan has to reap what he sowed, there’s no need to resign the Tiger Valor General position for now. It might still be of some use.”

There was reason to resign before!

After all, Dong Xuan was dissatisfied with him, making it almost clear.

He could straightforwardly claim he was being suppressed by superior officials, not suited for the Defender General’s position, and walk away.

Now, there is no reason to resign.

Ding Ling naturally saw no point in resigning, since keeping it has no disadvantages, only advantages, then why resign?

...

As Ding Ling predicted.

Not a few hours later.

Dong Xuan personally led a squad to Zhao Family Village to apologize and make amends to Ding Ling.

He looked embarrassed and ashamed, not daring to meet Ding Ling’s eyes.

Due to his complaints, his relationship with Ding Ling could be said to be irreconcilable.

Even though he apologized and offered restitution, Ding Ling surely wouldn’t trust him.

Just like his own mindset.

He offered apologies, yet still harbored a grudge, feeling deeply concerned.

Dong Xuan only needed to maintain a superficial relationship, so life could at least be manageable.

But Ding Ling wouldn’t indulge him, directly taking his Commander’s Seal, gifts, etc., then told him:

”You can scram.”

”...!!”

Dong Xuan froze, a blaze of anger flaring up instantly, he held back repeatedly, finally unable to contain it, letting out a cold snort, and stormed off.

”Haha.”

Ding Ling was indifferent.

Dong Xuan was not recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms, presumably dead. There’s no need for Ding Ling to concern himself with a dead man.

Moreover, he can’t even earn Achievement Medals from him.

”Aren’t you afraid of retaliation?”

Zhao Yun was somewhat worried.

”If he wanted to retaliate, he would’ve done so already.”

Ding Ling said:

”But he doesn’t dare. Pan Feng, Jushou, and others have jointly warned him. Unless he wants to die, he wouldn’t dare touch me. On the contrary, he fervently hopes I remain steady.

Because if anything happens to me, the first people Pan Feng, Jushou, and Xun Chen would look for, would still be him!”

”I see.”

Zhao Yun felt relieved.

He seemed to have more questions.

Ding Ling directly, holding the Commander’s Seal, galloped toward Zhending City’s direction:

”Alright then, follow me to the military camp. We strive to eliminate the bandit menace near Zhao Family Village within three days. This way, you can follow me to Luoyang in peace.”

Zhao Yun’s spirit lifted, promptly urging the Night-Shining Jade Lion to follow.

Zhao Feng, Zhao Xiaoyiu, and Zhao Bingxuan also followed suit.

Zhao Feng was at a second-class general’s standard, more than capable of becoming a general in the military camp.

Ding Ling planned to promote him.

This way, Zhao Family Village and Zhending City, with Zhao Feng leading the troops in defense, ordinary bandits wouldn’t dare approach recklessly.

After all, nobody likes provoking tough characters!

...

In the blink of an eye.

Two days had passed.

During the time, Ding Ling wrote several letters, sending them to Ye City through players and NPCs to Pan Feng, Xun Chen, and others.

Using players and NPCs to deliver the letters.

Because travel was unsafe, many couriers were killed, players were relatively smarter.

But players weren’t fully reliable, it’s common for some to disappear en route.

So adding some NPCs for delivery, was merely to ensure more stability.

The letters’ content was mostly hoping Pan Feng, Xun Chen, and others could take good care of Zhao Family Village, also hoping to assign him a few deputy generals.

Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng were very suitable.

Hoping they’d persuade the Governor of Jizhou to agree.

The day after the letters were written.

Ding Ling immediately led two thousand troops to encircle and wipe out bandits around Zhao Family Village.

The sweep lasted two days.

During which countless bandits were slain, acquiring numerous arms and armor, several dozen maids, a small number of medicinal herbs.

The maids were all left homeless and orphaned.

Ding Ling settled them in Zhao Family Village.

As for the seized weapons and armor, Ding Ling directly gave them to Zhao Family Village’s residents, arming a small elite squad.

The people of Zhao Family Village were naturally brave.

Now equipped with weaponry and armor, they appeared even more formidable. It’s a force Ding Ling could requisition anytime in the future.

And medicinal herbs?

Ding Ling directly washed and ate them raw.

Crunch! Crunch!

He bit into a ginseng, feeling his limbs and whole body steadily warming.

It turns out the Spiritual Phoenix Breathing Technique reached Great Perfection, autonomously absorbing medicinal power.

As soon as the ginseng entered his belly, its medicinal strength began being absorbed and refined.

Medicinal power infiltrated the membranes, meridians.

Ding Ling distinctly felt his body’s physical quality improving.

However, this heat sensation lasted only several breaths before ending.

Ding Ling carefully checked his Character Panel.

No discernible change!

”Seems like the herbs were too few!”

Ding Ling pondered.

Then directly swallowing all the herbs.

With his immense strength, his digestion capability was naturally terrifying; the abundance of herbs felt like eating ’wild vegetables’, hence unaffected in digestion.

The most significant factor remains the Spiritual Phoenix Breathing Technique’s ability to absorb medicinal power directly, allowing Ding Ling to confidently eat hurriedly.

The Spiritual Phoenix Breathing Technique at Perfect Realm possesses such power.

Any lesser understanding of the technique would likely require herb concoction for a medicinal bath absorption.

Doing so?

Wouldn’t it be time-consuming and labor-intensive!

Would also waste much medicinal power.

Direct consumption ensures complete absorption of medicinal power!

But even so.

With all herbs consumed.

Ding Ling’s Character Panel showed only minor changes.

[Strength +0.1]

[Defense +0.1]

Only two aspects increased by 0.1.

Ding Ling knew it was due to the bandits’ herbs being too commonplace. The most precious ginseng were but a scant few.

Most were ordinary herbs, incapable of satisfying the Spiritual Phoenix Breathing Technique’s cultivation absorption.

”Better than none I suppose.”

Ding Ling slightly clenched his fist, feeling his strength slightly enhanced, quite satisfied nevertheless.

”Time to prepare for Luoyang.”

Ding Ling revitalized his spirit.

”Once the replies from Pan Feng and Tian Feng arrive, we set off.”
