"That feels great, now that's the problem!"

Su Lin squinted his eyes, feeling incredibly exhilarated at that moment.

Xiao Linlin had been grumbling that Su Lin was still missing a top-quality defensive item. After all, although using high-level defensive clothing every day was not bad, our brother is the best in the world. Would it be worthy of his status to use the same thing as others?

Regardless of what others think, Xiao Linlin felt that this was inappropriate.

Now that she has the colorful armor, Xiao Linlin's long-standing "weakness" has been addressed.

Thinking of this, Su Lin couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He remembered what Jia Zhengyi had been saying when Xiao Linlin muttered those words: "With the boss's strength, is there a big difference between having armor and not having armor? Who can hurt the boss so easily? Even if the boss had top-tier armor, he might not be able to use it!"

Upon closer examination, this statement is actually quite accurate.

After all, Su Lin's motto has always been strong offense and weak defense. He emphasizes forging the strongest sword and believes that offense is the best defense.

But Xiao Linlin's consideration is also correct. We should work hard to make up for any shortcomings and make the worst-case scenario plan for any future situation. Only by being careful and cautious can we go far.

"Now they don't need to argue about these things anymore. They have the ultimate rainbow weapon and the rainbow armor. Now they don't need much else."

Su Lin squinted his eyes, savoring the satisfaction of the colorful armor for a while before quickly suppressing his excitement.

Even when you're very happy, you must learn to restrain yourself; calmness is the norm for a warrior.

Su Lin didn't rush out of the room. Instead, he found a place to sit down and carefully tallied up the results of his search for the 12 recipients of minimum living allowances.

All the red resources in the entire fortress resource area are gathered in the lord's mansion. What's left outside are just some purple and gold containers, so there's no rush.

Of the 12 low-income families searched, Su Lin obtained two colored items: a forced recruitment order and an armor set called "Strong Luck".

In addition, there are 7 red collectibles, 1 piece of gold armor, 1 piece of gold poison (consumable), and 1 advanced combat skill experience (red).

It's worth mentioning the "Advanced Combat Skill Experience." Strictly speaking, this can be considered a drop in the bag. When it was first obtained, Su Lin was happy for a while, but that was all.

It's not that Su Lin is arrogant; it's just that this thing doesn't quite match Su Lin's personal strength system.

Its effect is similar to the previously obtained "Advanced Meditation Experience," both targeting the current game world's local power system.

Meditation experience is relevant to magic, while combat experience is relevant to knightly duels.

To put it bluntly, Su Lin has no interest in knight combat skills for the time being. He won't need them anytime soon, and they're not even as good as meditation experience, since meditation experience also provides an additional boost to self-learning comprehension.

Su Lin absorbed the experience points and put the rest directly into his backpack.

Su Lin didn't plan to wear that golden armor for the time being; he intended to give it to his attendant later.

It's not that Su Lin is showing off because he has colored armor and looks down on gold armor; it's just that this thing is too flashy. Being all gold and not being able to change your appearance makes you stand out!

This was completely out of character for Su Lin; he didn't like such eye-catching "clothes," even if they were decent protective gear.

If there were no colored armor, Su Lin would definitely have reluctantly worn it, but now that he has a choice, he decisively gave it up.

"Let's give this to Lao Jia; he should like it."

Su Lin glanced at the backpack and suddenly thought of a possibility: "This thing is so conspicuous. What if we get into a fight later? Will Lao Jia get ganged up on because his armor is too flashy?"

Hmm...that seems quite possible.

It doesn't matter anyway. The defensive effect of the gold armor isn't bad. So what if I get beaten up? I can just use it as bait temporarily.

At worst, we can buy some substitutes for Lao Jia to avoid him actually being beaten to death.

"Alright, let's go out and take a look."

Su Lin clapped his hands, carefully counted the items, and then got up and left the room.

At this moment, Jia Zhengyi was still with the Duke. He wanted to leave the old man, but the Duke was very persistent, constantly asking him all sorts of questions.

The great battle had just ended, and the Duke was full of doubts and wanted to get information out of Jia Zhengyi. Even while busy with military affairs, he tried to drag Jia Zhengyi along, claiming that he wanted to jointly defend the fortress with Jia Zhengyi, clearly treating him as the deputy commander of the fortress.

The other NPCs naturally had no objections. It was easy to tell who the great contributor to capturing the fortress was, and everyone had genuine respect for the "strong ones."

Jia Zhengyi had no choice but to grit his teeth and deal with it. The elves had already been settled outside the lord's mansion, while Xiao Linlin and the pure-blooded elves were placed in the most luxurious fortress mansion.

The Duke wanted to bring everyone to live in the lord's manor, but Ellerie politely declined.

After leaving the room, Su Lin went straight out of the lord's mansion, ignoring the NPCs' attempts to persuade him to stay and not bothering to attend the impromptu victory celebration banquet organized by the Duke. He headed straight for Xiao Linlin's current residence.

After meeting up with Xiao Linlin, Su Lin brought out his spoils for her to see, which made the little girl exclaim in surprise, her big eyes blinking: "Wow! Brother, you've struck it rich!"

"I guess so. There were at least two winning numbers, so the haul was quite substantial."

Su Lin smiled, quite satisfied with the emotional value provided by Xiao Linlin.

"This fortress attack was absolutely worthwhile!"

Xiao Linlin sighed sincerely, while Lyanna, standing guard beside her, didn't even bother to raise an eyebrow at the sight of all these exquisite creatures on the ground.
