"So? Do you want to come with me?" Zhao Fu asked, looking at the three people huddled together.
After thinking it over, none of the three wanted to be separated, so they nodded in agreement and ran to the unconscious little beggar to wake him up.
The first thing the little beggar did upon waking was to scream in terror and instinctively struggle to escape, demonstrating the psychological trauma Zhao Fu had inflicted on him.
But then he realized that the people around him were his eldest sister, second brother, and third sister, and only then did his fear subside.
Then, the three of them explained their intention to surrender to him. The little beggar understood and nodded, agreeing to go with them. However, the little beggar's fear of Zhao Fu had not diminished, and he was somewhat afraid to look up at the mysterious man in the black cloak, who exuded terror.
Afterwards, Zhao Fu asked them some questions and learned some information about them. These four people were not biological siblings, but orphans who came together because of a certain event.
The sickly girl was named Tuoba Qing, the twin boys were named Wu Ling and Wu Qing, and the little beggar was named Le Zhongchang.
At the same time, because of their submission and their recognition of Zhao Fu as their master, Zhao Fu can also view their attributes and aptitude.
To Zhao Fu's surprise, Tuoba Qing's aptitude was SSS-level, while Wu Ling, Wu Qing, and Le Zhongchang were A-level. Zhao Fu Zhao Fu n't surprised that Wu Ling and the other two were A-level, but he was surprised that Tuoba Qing, that sickly girl, actually had SSS-level aptitude.
Bai Qi historical figures like Bai Wang Jian, this was the first time Zhao Fu had ever seen a native with SSS-level aptitude. With this aptitude, one would usually be at the level of a city lord. Zhao Fu never expected that this sickly girl would actually have SSS-level aptitude.
The main city of the system has a huge population, but people with S-level or higher qualifications are extremely rare. However, Tuoba Qing has SSS-level qualifications, and no one has discovered it yet. As long as S-level or higher qualifications are important to the main city of the system, let alone the extremely rare SSS-level qualifications, the official system will definitely take her away and train her.
Moreover, the Land of Origin will give a notification whenever someone with an S-rank aptitude is refreshed, such as a flash of golden light. With Tuoba Qing's SSS-rank aptitude, she would never be in her current dire situation.
"Could there be some huge conspiracy hidden here? Or is there some deeper secret at play?"
Zhao Fu, being a cautious person, couldn't help but think in this direction, because this matter seemed somewhat unreasonable.
etc...
Suddenly, Zhao Fu thought of a reason why the Tuoba Qing had not yet been discovered: the Tuoba Qing did not come from the Land of Origin, but rather through normal reproduction.
While the Apocalypse World has nests and Land of Origin that can spawn population, native inhabitants can still marry and have children, something players cannot do for now.
People born through normal childbirth receive no warnings; the lord must personally examine them to determine their aptitude. In slums like this, the probability of someone with high aptitude is very low, and the lord here doesn't seem to care about this matter.
Zhao Fu asked Tuoba Qing and learned that she had indeed not been spawned through the Land of Origin. This relieved Zhao Fu and he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
This time it was all luck that he got an SSS-level character. However, there's also the power she possesses that Zhao Fu hasn't figured out yet. Her attribute interface doesn't show it, and there are only a few question marks next to her race.
Let's go!
At this moment, Zhao Fu looked at the four people dressed in tattered clothes and spoke up.
The four of them didn't say anything and silently followed Zhao Fu. At this moment, Tuoba Qing was no longer as powerful as before. She was pale and weak, and could barely walk steadily. Wu Qing supported her. Seeing that she was seriously ill, it was hard to imagine how she had just exerted such power.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu tossed her a bottle of special healing pills, saying, "Take this! It will be good for your health!"
Tuoba Qing reached out and caught the medicine bottle that was tossed to her. Not only her, but also the other three people's attitude towards Zhao Fu softened, losing its previous sharpness.
This special healing pill was purchased by Zhao Fu at great expense in the main city of the system, using many precious medicinal materials. After Tuoba Qing took one of the healing pills, her complexion became slightly rosy.
Afterwards, Zhao Fu led the four of them to a fabric shop and said, "Please pick out a few clothes!"
Tuoba Qing and her three companions were all orphans, struggling to survive each day. They were lucky to have enough to eat. It was their first time in such a place, and they appeared somewhat timid and reserved.
At this moment, Wu Ling and the others heard Zhao Fu's words and their eyes were filled with joy as they looked at the exquisite and beautiful clothes around them. However, the three of them finally looked at Tuoba Qing, as they still Tuoba Qing first in everything.
Tuoba Qing nodded weakly, and the three of them happily ran to the side to choose clothes. Seeing her younger siblings' happy faces, Tuoba Qing also smiled, turned to Zhao Fu beside her, and softly said, "Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fu turned to look at her and said indifferently, "No need!"
Just then, Wu Qing came over with several pieces of clothing and said happily, "Sister Qing! I've picked out several outfits, and I've even picked out a few for you. Try them on!"
Tuoba Qing shook her head and chuckled, "I don't need that, I can just pick a few pieces."
"Ah!"
Wu Qing protested, "Sister Qing, no! I've already chosen them for you, let's go in and try them on."
In the end, Tuoba Qing couldn't refuse Wu Qing Wu Qing was pulled into a changing room. The two of them then appeared before Zhao Fu looking completely different, as if they were two entirely different people.
Tuoba Qing changed into a plain white dress, which, combined with her pale but beautiful face and slender figure, gave her the appearance of a sheltered young lady. She was gentle, intellectual, and delicate, making people want to cherish her.
Wu Qing changed into a light green dress, which gave her a more elegant and refined air. Her youthful face also gave her a fresh and clean look. Zhao Fu glanced at her chest unintentionally, causing her to blush slightly.
After the four bought their clothes, Zhao Fu led them away from the cloth shop, intending to take them back to Great Qin Town. However, at this moment, the youngest member Le Zhongchang, started to have a rumbling stomach. Zhao Fu had no choice but to take them to a restaurant for a hearty meal before finally taking them back to Great Qin Town.
At this moment, the four of them learned Zhao Fu's true identity and were also surprised. Zhao Fu first asked Li Si to arrange accommodations for Wu Ling and the other two. Then he took Tuoba Qing to Zhang Baishu to see what illness she was suffering from.
The healing pills Zhao Fu gave her were mainly for treating injuries, not for curing all diseases. Tuoba Qing's illness was a bit strange. Zhao Fu had asked her about it briefly before. Every year around this time, this illness would make her weak for a period of time, and sometimes it felt like she was being burned, which was very painful!
Zhao Fu was naturally somewhat confused about this, so he brought her to Zhang Baishu to see what the cause of her illness was.
