Huang Zhong! Courtesy name Hansheng. This name was no stranger. During the Three Kingdoms period, Huang Zhong was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu State. He was courageous, intelligent, loyal and old but vigorous, moreover, was a famous marksman.

In the >, Huang Zhong was an S grade historical NPC with archer profession, and his unique skill was called Bow God’s Rage.

[Skill Name: Bow God’s Rage]

[Skill Grade: historical NPC’s skill, no grade classification]

[Skill Type: Passive, no consumption]

[Weapon Restriction: Bow and arrows]

[Current Rank and Mastery: Level 2, 280/400]

[Skill Effect: Increase users critical-hit rate by 8%, and the user can use three arrows simultaneously]

Compared to Wei Wentong who was also an S grade historical NPC, Huang Zhong’s skill was even more suitable to become a battlefield’s fort. In just a one-on-one head-on fight without special equipment, Huang Zhong might not be the opponent of Wei Wentong. After all, Huang Zhong was an archer and archer was not a profession for a one-on-one battle.

“Boatowner, can I be so bold as to ask your honorable surname?” The person in front of Feng Tianhao was the boatowner who had reported Chen Kuang.

That boatowner saw through Feng Tianhao’s intention and sighed without responding.

Feng Tianhao asked three times, then three more times.

“I’m already a person without a name or surname. Why are you pressing on like this?” That boatowner looked far along the river. the storm had never stopped, but his heart was already tired.

Feng Tianhao also looked far along the river. He already knew that this person was Huang Zhong from the note of Shi Hao.

Unfortunately, he was already no longer that old but vigorous Hansheng (Huang Zhong’s courtesy name). Now, he was just a poor old boatowner.

“Since the matter has already passed, you should let it go.” Feng Tianhao comforted Huang Zhong.

A small wave appeared in Huang Zhong’s heart. He also thought that he should let it go. But whenever he thought to return to the battlefield, the matter that discouraged him would resurface in his mind. Although this was a memory implanted by the game system, it was very real.

He could still remember it vividly! At that time, he was determined to serve the Divine and Mighty Alliance. He conquered east to west and north to south.

Unfortunately, although he won the world for the Divine and Mighty Alliance, he lost his beloved son. Even his wife died of illness in depression.

Afterward, Huang Zhong who was left alone gave up all glory and wealth and became an ordinary boatman. Over the years (the memories implanted by the system), he had always been here. The ashes of his son and wife were scattered in the river before him.

“Although I have already let it go, I still cannot hold it anymore. I’m a useless person. You can leave. If possible, I hope to stay here all my life.” Huang Zhong turned around and left. His depressed back view was miserable and full of melancholy, which was just a tip of an iceberg.

Feng Tianhao sighed inwardly. He knew that Huang Zhong’s hidden recruitment mission had activated, but he was not happy.

According to the system setting, if you wanted to recruit Huang Zhong with the standard method, then you need to obtain a resurrection item in the game, which could bring the dead NPC back to life. You have to use this resurrection item to resurrect either Huang Zhong’s wife or son and return them to Huang Zhong’s side to complete the recruitment mission.

But how rare were resurrection items? Even if you truly got a resurrection item, would you use it for an S grade historical NPC? Wouldn’t you think to use it to recruit even more valuable SS grade historical NPC?

Of course! At least people like Absolutely Godless would definitely have such considerations.

And this was exactly the sadness that the system had set for Huang Zhong, giving him a practically impossible fantasy.

As for Huang Zhong’s hidden recruitment method, although it was very simple, it would leave Huang Zhong with lifelong regrets. He could no longer look forward to the resurrection of his wife and son (generally, since you are already unwilling to use a resurrection item to recruit Huang Zhong, what about after the successful recruitment?). Huang Zheng didn’t want to leave this place like this.

However, according to the system rules, at this moment, Feng Tianhao just needed to force Huang Zhong to compete with him and intentionally lose to Huang Zhong. After losing to Huang Zhong three times, the recruitment mission would be over and Huang Zhong would be forced to leave this place!

Feng Tianhao had two choices now, and Huang Zhong also waited for Feng Tianhao’s choice.

Fortunately, Feng Tianhao was a good-natured person, and Huang Zhong was also a good-natured person. Feng Tianhao had made his decision!

“The paths of the world are for people to walk. Although god (system) only gave us two paths (two recruitment methods), I, Feng Tianhao, will walk my own third path.”

Feng Tianhao caught up with Huang Zhong. Then, they came to a place with no one around. Feng Tianhao had made the soldiers he brought to guard the place and not let anyone come here.

“Let’s do it! I will defeat you.” Feng Tianhao immediately raised his spear.

At this moment, Huang Zhong drew his bow, but there was no arrow on the bow. He didn’t want to win.

However, Feng Tianhao didn’t hold back just because of this.

Feng Tianhao wanted to win! He didn’t care about anything. He just wanted to win three times. He wanted to go against the system’s rules and see how the system would treat him!

“You! What a good talent!” Huang Zhong was stunned. There was no arrow in his hand and also no arrow in his heart. He had already lost this match.

But he hadn’t expected that this person who activated the hidden recruitment mission didn’t intentionally lose to him!

“Be serious! I want to defeat you convincingly.” Feng Tianhao berated.

“Okay! Take this.” Huang Zhong took out three iron arrows, drew the bow, making a full moon, and shot three arrows!

Those three arrows attacked from different directions. The situation was critical.

Feng Tianhao rode his horse and ran at a very fast speed, avoiding the first arrow. He then blocked the second one with his spear. However, the third one was already in front of him. He could neither dodge nor block it.

Bang! However, the third arrow failed to breakthrough Feng Tianhao’s defense.

This was also normal. Speaking about it, their levels were the same. But Huang Zhong’s equipment was just level 1 items, whereas Feng Tianhao used only good items of Twin Dragons Village. Moreover, Feng Tianhao also had a bluff of Shi Hao’s Soul of the Warrior skill.

Feng Tianhao’s horse slammed Huang Zhong, and he barely won the second match with a big effort.

“This time, you lose to my equipment. I had an unfair advantage. Let’s fight fairly in the third match!” Feng Tianhao returned to his original location, took off his armor and temporarily blocked Shi Hao’s teammate buff (removed the buffs of Soul of the Warrior skill and Shadow Dragon Soul).

A bit of yearning flashed through Huang Zhong’s eyes. It was a yearning for victory in battle. He had already forgotten this feeling for a long, long time.

 “Young man! Don’t underestimate this old man.” Huang Zhong shouted and shot three arrows.

These three arrows were exactly the same as before. But the spear in Feng Tianhao’s hand also moved! Blowing Wind Left A Scar, Shadow Remain on the Flowing Water! Blowing Wind Not Left A Scar, No Shadow on the Flower River.

Feng Tianhao used his self-created spear skill, A Strong Wind Scattering the Last Clouds.

“A good spear skill!” Huang Zhong immediately took out three arrows and shot them to prevent Feng Tianhao from getting close.

Feng Tianhao, however, became braver and braver along with the battle, moreover, his spear skill also become more and more perfect in the midst of battle.

One had to say that Feng Tianhao was a genius, a martial genius! It was not easy to create this spear skill, but he had improved it further!

“I lost!” Huang Zhong stopped the arrows in his hand. This time, he gave up.

However, Huang Zhong, in fact, didn’t lose. Although Feng Tianhao blocked all his arrows, Feng Tianhao also couldn’t get close to him. To be clear, if he had continued, then he would have won without a doubt. He still had an 8% critical-hit rate! Once a critical-hit was triggered, it would be very hard for Feng Tianhao to dodge or block.

However, Huang Zhong admitted defeat! Because he wanted to lose. However, the reason why he wanted to lose had changed! He wanted to see why this young man wanted to defeat him. This young man could have obviously lost intentionally and successfully recruited him, but why did he insist on winning?

However, Feng Tianhao’s reply stunned Huang Zhong.

“No! You won.” Feng Tianhao slowly walked forward…
