Chapter 8

"Lord Wenjie, why is this so?" Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not dare to accept the courtesy and quickly got up to support Li You with both hands. The three of them returned to their seats.

Han Fu was previously not well-known among the feudal lords, and it was thought that he was merely an average talent. Today, hearing his profound thoughts, Cao Cao, who was naturally suspicious, could not help but ask, "Why doesn't Lord Wenjie step forward? I believe Lord Wenjie's prestige far surpasses ours! If you could personally take charge, you would surely clear the chaos and bring peace to the people!"

Liu Bei also turned his gaze to Li You, seemingly having the same question in mind. Li You smiled and said, "Is Cao Cao joking? I am merely an average talent in everyone's eyes, how can I have any prestige? Besides, I am old and my energy is waning, and there is no outstanding talent in my clan! I am truly not the person who can shoulder this heavy responsibility!"

"Ha ha! It is a great pleasure to drink with the two heroes today! Unfortunately, my drinking capacity is not good, and I fear I cannot continue to enjoy the company of the two of you! Come, let us have one last cup!" Li You laughed loudly and raised his wine cup, "After this cup, we must enter the pass to continue discussing the attack on Dong Zhuo! I hope the two of you remember my words today!"

"We will not forget!" Liu Bei and Cao Cao simultaneously raised their wine cups and drank them in one go, then took their leave. Li You personally saw them off to the camp's entrance, watching their backs as he sighed inwardly, "Alas, I am but a brief passerby. If not, I would truly like to play a game of chess with you, using the world as our board!"

After they disappeared among the banners, Li You turned back and bowed to Guan Sheng, "Thank you, General Guan Sheng! If you wish to visit General Guan, I can have someone prepare beef and wine for you to send to Lord Liu's tent!" Li You guessed that Guan Sheng definitely wanted to meet Guan Yu, so he created an opportunity for him.

Although the words sounded a bit convoluted, Guan Sheng understood the meaning. He shook his head and bowed, "I am unworthy of my ancestor's great name and dare not meet him! Moreover, I am now a general under my lord and must prioritize military affairs! We will discuss this after the battle!"

"Thank you, General!" Li You bowed in gratitude, arranged the camp for him, and had Pan Feng send grain, wine, and meat to Liu Bei. He then returned to his own tent, dismissed everyone, and took out the tiger talisman from his sleeve to study it.

"Task to slay Hua Xiong and capture the Fenshui Pass completed! Initial mission completed, personal panel activated! Does the host wish to activate it?" The tiger talisman emitted a white light, and a familiar voice echoed in the empty tent.

"Activate, activate immediately!" What is a personal panel? Curiosity made Li You forget to ask about the rewards and immediately respond.

"Personal panel activated, please wait!" The tiger talisman's eyes opened, and two beams of white light projected a panel in front of Li You. In the upper left corner was Li You's portrait and name, with his personal data to the right of the portrait. Below were various functional sections, resembling a computer game he had played before.

Character: Li You

Age: 16

Leadership: 9

Martial: 5

Intelligence: 11

Politics: 12

"These data seem like those from Romance of the Three Kingdoms! But these numbers are too pitiful! Even Liu Shan is much better than me!" Li You pitifully looked at his data. What does a martial score of 5 mean? Am I a complete weakling? But the original owner of this body only knew how to read books, and his physique was indeed not good! If I can complete the mission and return by chance, I must practice more with Xu Guang!

"What are these data for?" The most important thing now is to understand the use of the tiger talisman, so Li You immediately asked.

"Leadership represents the maximum number of troops the host can command. A leadership score below 10 means each point represents one subordinate!" Damn, does this mean my current leadership is equivalent to a squad leader? No, a full squad has 12 people, and I can't even command a squad! Li You was speechless. Fortunately, I am in the Three Kingdoms world, and the current task is a single combat, or I would have been in trouble!

"What about above 10?" Hey, I should get some skill points for completing this task, right?

"Between 10 and 19, each point increases the ability to command 10 subordinates. Between 20 and 29, each point increases the ability to command 100 subordinates. Between 30 and 39, each point increases the ability to command 200 subordinates..." The tiger talisman explained calmly, "Each successful mission will grant skill points, and the host can increase their abilities based on their situation!"

Phew, that's better, Li You sighed in relief. If it can be improved, it's fine! "What about martial, intelligence, and politics?"

"No, martial, intelligence, and politics are based on the most outstanding individuals in the main world, with 100 points as the standard. The data is calculated based on the difference between the person and the host!"

"Hey, I accept the martial score, but the intelligence and politics are too low! I have a college degree, you know!"

"Intelligence and politics heavily depend on experience. Given that the host has never engaged in related work before, the data is low. As the host gains more experience, the data will improve accordingly!"

Fine, you make sense, Li You admitted. He looked at the panel below, where only Guan Sheng was listed in the summonable generals section, and the rest were empty! The summonable army section was even more empty, not even a squad! A leadership score of 9 is wasted here!

Continuing to look down, he saw, "What are these? Equipment? Logistics? And what do these unlocked sections mean?" Li You quickly asked the tiger talisman again.

"Equipment is special items the host can obtain during missions, which can enhance the host's abilities when used! Logistics allows the host to store grain, weapons, and other war supplies in the tiger talisman, to be taken out when needed! Other sections will be unlocked when the opportunity arises."

This is useful! Li You couldn't help but rub his hands together, but before he could be happy for long, the tiger talisman added, "The amount of supplies logistics can hold is closely related to the host's leadership score! The total amount of supplies the host can carry cannot exceed the needs of the number of troops they can command!"

Damn, this means I can only carry supplies for nine people! What's the point of that! Li You immediately felt deflated.

"Task to slay Hua Xiong and capture the Fenshui Pass completed, do you wish to claim the reward?" The tiger talisman's voice sounded again.

"Claim!" Li You eagerly watched the panel. The next task is to fight Lu Bu, and Guan Sheng's slaying of Hua Xiong is enough! But he definitely can't beat Lu Bu! Give me a more powerful general! Li You clasped his hands together and began to pray to all the gods and Buddhas.

"Reward: One chance to draw a general, drawing begins!" With Li You's permission, the slot machine started to spin.
