C4 The First Hero, Diaochan, Appeared!

The young woman was strikingly beautiful, with a mouth that was both delicate and finely shaped. Dangling from her ears were exquisite earrings that added to her captivating allure.

Her eyebrows arched gracefully above her porcelain skin, and her eyes sparkled with an irresistible charm. Zhou Yan found himself completely drawn to her.

Adorning her hair was a white jade hairpin, and she was dressed in a short skirt that highlighted her slender waist, drawing the eye.

She was enchanting, a vision of loveliness akin to a fairy.

"Congratulations, you've summoned the Hero, Diaochan!"

Zhou Yan was taken aback when he heard this.

"What? Diaochan herself?"

He was utterly astonished.

This was a figure from Earth!

Moreover, she was acclaimed as the foremost beauty of the Three Kingdoms era.

She lived up to her reputation; it was rare to find someone as breathtaking as her in the world.

Back on Earth, he had encountered the character of Diaochan in a video game.

Until this moment, no Earthly character had ever appeared on the Canglan Continent.

Zhou Yan had never imagined he would actually summon Diaochan.

His excitement for the Bronze Bird Terrace surged. If he could summon Diaochan, perhaps Younger Miss Qiao and Cai Wenji were within reach as well.

But then, Zhou Yan stumbled upon a significant concern.

Diaochan was merely a delicate woman.

She wasn't just a character from a game. Could such a woman stand against monsters?

Maybe she would faint at the mere sight of a monster.

Zhou Yan realized that the only skill the Bronze Bird Terrace seemed to summon in a girl was coquettishness; she had no other abilities.

He had hoped to summon a warrior heroine like Sun Shangxiang, but that was not to be.

"Greetings, my Lord," Diaochan said, bowing deeply as she saw Zhou Yan.

Her voice was melodious, touching the soul.

"No need for such formality. Diaochan, do you remember who you are?"

Zhou Yan quickly approached, taking her soft hand in his, while internally he pondered the battles to come.

Could this tender girl truly aid him in slaying monsters?

Perhaps her only tactic would be to charm the enemy.

"All I recall is my name and my teachings; my past is a mystery to me," Diaochan replied in a gentle whisper, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as Zhou Yan continued to hold her hand, too shy to ask him to release it.

Seeing Diaochan's bashful demeanor only deepened Zhou Yan's infatuation. Despite his resolve, he found himself completely entranced by her beauty.

"Forgive me. Have I caused you any pain?"

Zhou Yan quickly released her hand, though he secretly longed to hold it once more.

"I am unharmed."

Zhou Yan knew that every hero, even every soldier, had a list of attributes. He promptly checked Diaochan's:

Introduction: Transformed by a mysterious energy, her basic attributes have increased tenfold.

After reviewing Diaochan's stats, Zhou Yan was astounded.

Diaochan was formidable.

He had been wrong to consider her a mere fragile woman.

Her attributes were outstanding, especially when compared to his own. And with her special bonuses, her capabilities were even more impressive.

A hero's initial attributes could be this powerful?

Zhou Yan was overjoyed.

Diaochan belonged to him, her loyalty absolute.

This was beyond his expectations.

Typically, the starting loyalty for heroes and soldiers summoned by others was only 90 points. If treated poorly by their Lord, they risked defection.

After all, they were sentient beings with emotions and thoughts of their own.

But in his domain, loyalty was complete from the outset.

Of course, he had no intention of mistreating those under his command.

Especially the women.

"I never imagined Diaochan's quality would be the stuff of legends, the RRR level. I thought it was merely a myth, but it turns out to be true," Zhou Yan marveled.

Hero qualities ranged from F to RRR, spanning twelve distinct levels.

"With a hero like Diaochan, these monsters might as well be groundhogs."

Zhou Yan was particularly astonished by Diaochan's Charm attribute.

Normally, an individual's single attribute maxed out at just one point, but Diaochan's Charm was a staggering five times that of an ordinary person's peak attribute. That was downright frightening.

Those with high levels of Charm and luck enjoyed numerous advantages.

For instance, while exploring the wilderness, they might stumble upon rare materials or unusual structures, or even have heroes eagerly offer to join their territory.

The so-called Sons of Luck and Sons of Destiny were fortunate precisely because they possessed high values in both Charisma and Luck.

Zhou Yan felt a wave of relief wash over him.

He was certain that his special building wouldn't let him down.

The vibrant auxiliary Overlord Space was incredibly powerful.

Yet, he couldn't help but wonder why the bonus it provided him was so meager.

Was it underestimating him?

After all, he was a high school graduate.

During his time at school, Zhou Yan had absorbed a wealth of knowledge about being a Lord, and he was acutely aware of just how extraordinary his territory was.

A sense of urgency gripped him; his territory absolutely must remain a secret from outsiders.

If discovered, he was sure to attract the unwanted attention of numerous powers.

For now, he had just two priorities.

The first was to grow discreetly, avoiding any reckless actions.

The second was to fortify his defenses and amass provisions.

"Diaochan, our territory will soon face an onslaught from monsters. Does that scare you?"

He had great faith in Diaochan's attributes, yet he was unfamiliar with her combat experience.

"I've studied magic, and should any monsters dare to invade, I vow to defend our land to the death, ensuring they regret their assault!"

Diaochan declared with such authority that Zhou Yan was momentarily dumbfounded.

But he quickly regained his composure, stepping forward to take Diaochan's hand, he implored, "I can't afford to lose you. You must stay safe, understand?"

"I understand."

Her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, and her delicate beauty sent Zhou Yan's heart racing.
