His confidence made Xiao Linlin's heart skip a beat.
It wasn't that she admired him more, but rather that she was amazed at how quickly Su Lin had grown, far exceeding her expectations.
Xiao Linlin knew long ago that Su Lin was a genius and was more cautious by nature. He rarely showed such indifference towards his enemies unless he was absolutely certain of victory.
"Could it be that the empowerment of an SSS-level follower really has such great power?"
Xiao Linlin's gaze darted back and forth between Senior Li and Su Lin. She was unsure; she no longer knew what level Su Lin's strength had reached.
She now longs to see World War I even more than Su Lin, to see with her own eyes just how powerful this man has become.
"Junior brother..."
Xu Zhenshu lowered his head nervously, staring at his toes, not daring to meet Su Lin's gaze.
This man has become extraordinary, gradually growing to the point where he needs to look up to him; he is no longer the silent junior brother who used to follow behind him.
"Yeah, relax."
Su Lin nodded slightly to her and, without lingering, quickly used the forced recruitment order to recruit Xu Zhenshu as a follower.
[Congratulations player! You have obtained the S-rank follower - Xu Zhenshu!]
"S-rank?"
Su Lin was somewhat surprised. After glancing at Xu Zhenshu's data, he realized that he had indeed underestimated this woman.
She is not a combat follower, but a support follower.
Xu Zhenshu's greatest strength is not his martial arts skills, but his support-type follower who specializes in assisting and healing.
She possesses the traits of "Intimate Bond" and "Destined One," allowing her to bind to specific units for care, making their recovery speed and peak condition more lasting, their physical stats steadily increasing, and also protecting them from inner demons, calamities, and other disturbances.
At the same time, her [Heavenly Cauldron and Earthly Furnace] characteristic allows her to cultivate together with male units, enhancing their skills, talents, and physical stats; the effect is even better and the enhancement is greater if the two cultivate from the same source.
The characteristic of "Perfect Fruition" is somewhat special. After becoming a follower, she can bear part of the negative karma of her master and take on the burden of calamity on the causal level.
As for the skills, they are slightly inferior, mostly consisting of various martial arts skills from within the Sword Pavilion, roughly equivalent to the power of an A-level combat follower, and already in a half-crippled state, with no combat power whatsoever.
Her greatest strength right now lies in her unique characteristics: comprehensive support and assistance. Compared to Elleri, Xu Zhenshu is extremely particular about the auxiliary effects within the same system, and can almost achieve all-round benefits through the binding method.
However... the specific conditions for using and utilizing her special characteristics are somewhat unusual, involving things related to intimacy and affection. Su Lin wasn't very interested and glanced at it before closing the app.
However, Xiao Linlin was shrewd enough to see even from a distance, and thus got a general idea of Xu Zhenshu's characteristics and effects.
"It seems that dual cultivation is required to achieve the desired effect?"
Xiao Linlin tilted her head and murmured, "This is really like finding him a concubine... I guess my brother won't agree to it. Martial arts fanatics have never talked about love. I have to think of a way to get him to give in."
"Well... before that, we need to get Xu Zhenshu into the same system as his brother so that we can maximize the benefits of Xu Zhenshu's unique characteristics."
"With Senior Li's empowerment and guidance, along with his own self-taught talent, and a cultivation partner... he has everything he needs: resources, methods, companionship, and a suitable environment. The basic conditions for his path are now complete."
While Xiao Linlin was pondering this, Su Lin had already given Xu Zhenshu a general overview of the basic matters related to the mechanism, and then came to stand in front of Xiao Linlin.
"Linlin, what are you thinking about? Is it the plan for next?"
"Ah, I was thinking about what names my brother would give his children... Ugh! Ugh! I meant plans, things we're about to do!"
Xiao Linlin quickly waved her hand, looking at Su Lin with a grin: "Brother, are you ready?"
"You can arrange it."
Su Lin nodded, not caring about Xiao Linlin's teasing slip of the tongue.
He knew what the girl was thinking, but that was a matter for later; he just wanted to focus on the task at hand.
"Okay, then I'll contact the Mimic."
Xiao Linlin called out to the Mimic in her mind, and at the same time raised her head: "By the way, brother... while you were in meditation, there was news of Chu Mo. It seems that most of our encounters in this game were not due to him."
"I know, I heard everything."
Su Lin nodded slightly. He could hear his own thoughts when he was in meditation, but he didn't participate in them.
"You want to join forces with Chu Mo?"
Su Lin glanced at Xiao Linlin, who shook her head: "I didn't agree. This matter should be decided by my brother."
In her stance on how to interact with the other survivors, Xiao Linlin will definitely prioritize Su Lin's attitude.
Whether to kill or make peace, it all depends on Su Lin's decision before she can proceed with further planning.
"If he doesn't cause trouble, we can spare his life this time."
Su Lin put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "But this time, there will be no exception."
Regardless of the circumstances, the information prompt in the trap at the very beginning of the game was Chu Mo's doing.
His message may have been broadly aimed at all survivors, but it also affected Su Lin, which is also a form of targeting.
If Su Lin hadn't woken up in time, he would have suffered a huge loss.
One is one, two is two.
In times of emergency, one must act expediently. This time, we may spare their lives, but we will settle scores if we encounter the same situation again.
Su Lin said this because she had already taken Xiao Linlin's plans into account and didn't want to make things too difficult for Xiao Linlin.
If he were here alone, there wouldn't be so much fuss; it would be more satisfying to kill them all.
