Chapter IV: Compulsory Marking

"Big brother go slowly! At tomorrow's feast, our brothers will get drunk and rest! ”

Ding Xiao shouted at Lu Bu's departing back, causing the latter to stumble on his feet and almost fall to the ground, making Tong'er on the side giggle.

"Young master, you call a big brother so affectionately, look at General Lu."

"He."

Ding Xiao retracted his gaze from a distance and grinned at Tong'er, "How to say it, he has low emotional intelligence, and he can't tell the difference between good and bad, I want to win his trust quickly, so I have to stick to him like this!" ”

"Uh, what business?" Tong'er looked puzzled.

"Emotional intelligence refers to...... Uh, forget it, I can't say anything about this, I can only understand. Ding Xiao said casually.

"Well, I don't understand what happened between you men."

Tong'er has never studied, so she is not suspicious, "But young master, you are injured, you are not allowed to drink tomorrow!" ”

"Injury?"

After Ding Xiao was stunned, he reached out and touched his head, and then smiled nonchalantly, "That little injury yesterday has long been healed, and it won't get in the way at all." ”

He was not lying when he said this, in fact, during the day and night he was in a coma, the system had already healed his injuries, otherwise he would not be as alive and well as he is now.

"That's not good, Madame is not here now, you have to take care of your body even more." Tong'er pouted.

"Okay, I promise you to drink as little as possible tomorrow."

Finally coaxed Tong'er to rest, Ding Xiao hurriedly turned around and returned to the guest room, a little eager to check his newly acquired skills.

"System, what kind of skill is this forced marking, and how can I use it?" He tried to ask in his mind.

This time, instead of being as silent as before, the system gave detailed instructions.

[Mandatory Marking (1 Star): As long as the host touches the target with the palm of its hand, it can randomly mark the target as one of the six colors of red, yellow, green, blue, brown, and purple, and the time limit is 60 seconds. If three marked targets of the same color are connected into a straight line, the targets will be eliminated. (As a special note, this skill is not valid against targets whose level is three levels or higher than the host!) )】

This explanation is easy to understand, but it is actually the same as playing the "Happy Match" game, except that there is one more step of "mandatory marking" than the game.

"It's really a mode and routine of elimination!"

Ding Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that Xiao Xiaole could really exist as a system.

"But this eliminator requires three targets of the same color to be eliminated, doesn't it mean that if I want to kill one enemy, I have to pull two pads?"

He thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but look strange, "The cost of killing the enemy is too great, right?" ”

It is important to note that this skill only marks the target, and does not directly kill the target. If you want to kill each other, you have to mark at least three people at the same time!

And that's not all!

He also had to mark the three of them the same color and have them stand in a row!

Think about it, each person's color is randomly generated, how many times does he have to mark it to make the three of them exactly the same color?

And that's not all!

What's even more outrageous is that he still has to touch the other party with his own hands to mark, and his own safety is not guaranteed.

"In this way, this skill is actually not practical at all, and it is better to take a kitchen knife and try to be effective. Hey, the cheat daddy's system! ”

Ding Xiao pursed his lips, he no longer had any hope for this elimination system, he only hoped that the lucky gift box could bring him a little real luck.

"System, please help me open the gift box!"

[Does the host open the lucky gift box?] 】

"It doesn't have to be so stylized, right?"

Ding Xiao was a little speechless, "I said that you can help open the gift box......"

[Please select Yes or No.] 】

“…… Well, defeat for you. ”

Ding Xiao chose "yes" helplessly.

[The lucky gift box has been opened successfully! ] 】

[Congratulations to the host and get a permanent prop small wooden hammer.] 】

Small Wooden Hammer (Consumables): When clicked to use, you can immediately eliminate a specified marker target. 】

As the message ended, the gift box in the grid in Ding Xiao's mind disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a small miniature wooden hammer.

"It's you!"

Ding Xiao's eyes lit up suddenly.

The small wooden hammer is a common item in Happy Match games, and is often used to destroy the remnants of targets in the corners, which is very useful.

He noticed the word "click" in the instructions, that is, with this small wooden hammer, he no longer has to think about the color of the target, he only needs to mark the target casually, and then hammer it down, he can kill with one blow and quickly solve the battle!

"This little hammer is simply a peerless artifact of sneak attack and plotting, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! It can be described as a hammer in hand, I have it in the world! ”

Ding Xiao was overjoyed, and finally had some changes to the system in his heart, "It seems that this system is not useless!" ”

The only fly in the ointment is that this small wooden hammer is a consumable item, and it will disappear after using it once, otherwise, with this small wooden hammer alone, he has the confidence to dominate the world!

"But it doesn't matter, since we have the first little hammer now, there will be a second and a third in the future! There may be even more powerful power-ups! ”

Thinking about it like this, Ding Xiao had a small sense of expectation in his heart.

……

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Ding Xiao went to ask Ding Yuan for peace, and the father and son chatted for a long time, talking about the hard life that Ding Xiao's mother and son lived in Taishan County, and both of them sighed.

"Oh, I am ashamed of my father to your mother and son, and I have made you suffer! In the future, the father will definitely make amends to you. Ding Yuan sighed.

"Father, you will see the outside world when you say this."

After Ding Xiao politely said, his voice changed, "However, the child wants to join the army under his father's account, I wonder if his father will agree?" ”

"Oh? Didn't you say you wanted to study the text? Why do you suddenly want to join the army again? Ding Yuan looked puzzled.

"Isn't Xi Wen allowed to join the army?"

Ding Xiao asked with a smile.

He originally wanted to discuss the situation in the world with Ding Yuan today, but he was worried that the trust between them was not enough, which made the other party suspect that he had other intentions.

In order to avoid self-defeating, he made up his mind temporarily and chose this more compromise method - first infiltrate the barracks and find a way to gain a firm foothold in the Ding family's army.

"Father, I know that there are military advisers, military advisors and other civilian positions." He added.

"Haha," Ding Yuan laughed, "Then do you know that a strategist must reach the rank of a soldier or above, and a military advisor must reach the realm of a division!" You just broke through the habitat yesterday, and according to the regulations, you are not allowed to join the army as a civilian for the time being. ”

"Well, then I'll be a soldier first, okay?" Ding Xiao asked a little unwillingly.

"No! The barracks are not as good as at home, how can you bear the hardships of the barracks? Ding Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"I can!"

Ding Xiao replied, "If my father is not at ease, let me be the eldest brother's personal guard, I believe that with the eldest brother's care, the child will be fine!" ”

"Okay."

Ding Yuan smiled helplessly, "If you insist on this, after the feast is over, I will raise this matter to Feng Xian." ”
