144: The affection from Cai Wenji!

"Ding, the attendant system has been activated. You can now view retinue attributes."

After the Rank 50 second class advancement, the attendant system is unlocked. This means players can increase an NPC's favor or persuade them to become their retinue.

One can also recruit their own retinue through special quests or the Mercenary Hall.

Cai Wenji: King-rank Retinue.

Exclusive Skills: Song of Long Journey, Great Virtuoso, Forget-Worry Melody, High Mountains and Flowing Water.

(Note: Retinue Rank is synchronized with the player's Rank; attributes increase as the Rank increases.)

Retinue grades are the same as player talent grades, ranging from Black Iron to King.

A King-rank retinue is equivalent to a King-level Talent.

Furthermore, a retinue can wear equipment and learn skills just like a player.

Their strength is not much weaker than a player's; in some cases, a retinue's strength might even exceed the player's, creating a situation where the servant is stronger than the master.

In such cases, the retinue might leave the player's side; it's very realistic.

The strong often find it difficult to be subordinates to the weak.

This also makes obtaining a retinue extremely difficult.

Players are unwilling to recruit weak Black Iron-Rank retinues, and the strong ones are hard to recruit. Therefore, even in the Late Stage of the game, very few players possess powerful retinues.

At Rank 50, Cai Wenji has two million health and one hundred and eighty thousand magic power, and her other attributes are not bad either. Such a stat block can already crush 99.9% of current players.

Moreover, Cai Wenji's exclusive skills are very powerful, no weaker than many Healer experts with King-level Talents.

With Cai Wenji by his side, Lin Yue can now complete quests that normally require a party without having to deliberately look for other players.

Unless it's a large-scale raid quest that requires at least ten people to enter, but that's for later; he doesn't need that for now.

After the Rank 50 second class advancement, besides the opening of the attendant system, there is another interesting System: the Mount System.

He squinted at Chaos. If he could capture a Chaos as a mount, he wondered what kind of sight that would be.

Chaos also felt Lin Yue's gaze. Although it couldn't use Mind Reading on Lin Yue, it could sense that this gaze was definitely ill-intentioned.

Could it be that this kid wanted to gain more benefits from it again?

Although Lin Yue's dual talents were incredibly powerful, relying on external forces all the time wasn't a good thing.

It couldn't let him get used to this kind of operation.

"Ahem, White Emperor, if there's nothing else, you should leave now."

Chaos began to see him out. It had nothing else left to reward Lin Yue with. For this Epiphany at the Chaos Stele, if it and the Old Lord hadn't acted together, it feared Lin Yue would have sucked its Divine Power dry once again.

Divine Power is slow to recover; Chaos would have to ask the Old Lord for some Medicinal Pills in a bit.

Lin Yue nodded, suppressing the thought of taking Chaos as a mount in his heart, and decided to leave first.

With a flash of light, the two returned to the Lost City.

"How do you feel now?"

Through the Retinue panel, Lin Yue could clearly see that Cai Wenji had become his retinue and could now follow him back to the Land of the Final End.

"I feel like my strength has returned to roughly what it was when I was eighteen."

Cai Wenji blushed and looked at Lin Yue with an apologetic expression.

This wasn't Cai Wenji's fault; after all, she originally had the strength of a demigod, and it was normal not to adapt immediately to such a sudden drop.

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, we'll head back."

"I want to say goodbye to my family. I'll be right back."

"Alright, I'll wait for you here."

Lin Yue nodded. Cai Wenji was a native of the Lost City. Leaving the Lost City for the Land of the Final End was equivalent to going abroad; saying goodbye to family was only natural.

Having received Lin Yue's approval, Cai Wenji hurried home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her family, young and old, already waiting for her. Moreover, the Grand Supreme Old Lord was looking at her with a smile.

"Yan'er, the Old Lord has already told us. You should follow that Person of Destiny."

The speaker was an old man with a white beard, possessing an elegant temperament and refined speech.

"Father, Mother, once Yan'er leaves this time, I don't know when I'll be able to return."

As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Cai Wenji's eyes, mostly out of reluctance to leave.

Her mother wanted to comfort her, but was stopped by Cai Yong. "You are already a demigod; what kind of behavior is this weeping? Yan'er, you are exceptionally intelligent and brilliantly talented. You know the situation of the Lost City; helping Destiny is also helping yourself."

"Remember, follow Destiny's commands in everything outside. His word is the Old Lord's word, and it is my word."

After speaking, Cai Yong waved his hand and turned away, suppressing his reluctance.

Seeing this, Cai Wenji turned into a tearful mess, looking back every few steps and kowtowing every five.

Only when she reached the entrance of the courtyard did Cai Wenji wipe away her tears under her family's gaze and run resolutely toward where Lin Yue was.

The Grand Supreme Old Lord stopped smiling and sent a voice transmission to Cai Wenji. Only then did Cai Wenji understand how important the mission she carried was.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue, who was at the Four Divine Beasts teleportation gate, received a System notification.

"Ding, your retinue Cai Wenji's favorability has reached the maximum value. Please check."

Lin Yue was slightly stunned and checked it out of curiosity.

Cai Wenji's favorability had skipped several levels from Friendly directly to Admiration.

This was quite ridiculous.

A retinue's favorability is related to their combat power; the higher the favorability, the more strength they can exert, and they are even willing to die for their master.

Friendly, Trust, Respect, Worship, Admiration.

Favorability is divided into these five levels.

Each level increase requires the player and retinue to spend a long time together and fight together.

Although he didn't know what had happened on Cai Wenji's end, seeing it suddenly jump to Admiration, Lin Yue had a rough guess amidst his curiosity.

It must have been something her family or the Grand Supreme Old Lord said.

Only then was Cai Wenji so wholeheartedly willing to follow Lin Yue.

"Mr. White Emperor, I'm ready. We can leave now."

Seeing Cai Wenji again, her gaze had completely changed; it was no longer a sense of Respect that maintained distance, but a resolute expression of being wholeheartedly willing to die for Lin Yue.

Faintly seeing a trace of tears on Cai Wenji's face, Lin Yue didn't say much. He nodded and took Cai Wenji's soft, delicate hand, and the two disappeared into a white light...
