Chicken Bro only has one signature dish he can present: clay-roasted chicken! In a world lacking sauces and side dishes, with only salt—mostly coarse salt—available, cooking a truly delicious dish is a real test of skill. And roasting a single chicken isn’t enough; you have to build a special giant clay oven and roast dozens of chickens at once. Even modern rotisserie shops don’t do much more than that.
After all, these barbarian generals are like wild beasts—devouring a whole chicken is just a matter of a few casual words. If they run out of food while they’re enjoying themselves, the consequences could be serious.
At the banquet, the crowd of heroes erupted in thunderous applause: “Great chicken! Awesome!”
Listening nervously from the back hall, Chicken Bro clenched his fists tightly.
Mark Ford’s laughter soon followed: “Big brother, sister-in-law, all my brothers and cousins, the reason this chicken is so awesome is because we have a real talent here—ranked among the top fifty new celebrities in the country!”
Dale Foster also laughed and said, “That’s right, it’s a festival today, so I think it’s time to formally introduce him to our brother-in-law and all the brothers and cousins!”
Matthew Ford’s booming laughter shook the rafters: “I’ve been too busy inspecting the drought these past months, but I’ve heard about this person for a long time—let’s call him out to meet everyone!”
Chicken Bro let out a long sigh of relief. The past six months of befriending these two hadn’t been in vain; just providing them with roasted chicken and taking them to cockfights had already taken up so much of his energy.
Mark Ford is Matthew Ford’s younger brother. He’s nowhere near as strong or imposing as his brother, but his advantage is that he’s relatively clever. He likes to tinker with unreliable magical devices and loves to gather all sorts of gossip, acting very much like an intelligence officer or a scheming advisor. The key is, he also knows how to enter the Wuge Kingdom—the famous birthplace of the rattan-armored soldiers. The king of Wuge, Wutugu, is said to be twelve feet tall, or 2.88 meters—a true giant.
As for Dale Foster, he’s the younger brother of Mrs. Victor Brooks. This brother isn’t particularly brave or strong, but he’s extremely obedient. Clearly, the real leader of the tribe is Mrs. Victor Brooks.
Chicken Bro’s ultimate target is actually Mrs. Victor Brooks. Victor Brooks isn’t just a wild beauty—her character background is off the charts. She’s a descendant of the fire god Zhu Rong, the ultimate figure in the southern lands. That’s why she’s not so easy to meet.
So Chicken Bro put all his effort into making connections through her two brothers, and conveniently obtained their general tokens as well. As long as he completes today’s festival ritual, he’ll definitely get a third general token. But whose will it be?
Chicken Bro deliberately stayed unfamiliar with the other generals, so it could only be Matthew Ford or Victor Brooks. But Matthew Ford is a local overlord—not so easy to obtain. Plus, Matthew Ford has been busy inspecting the drought in the countryside these past months, so there’s been no overlap in their tasks. In short, it’s best not to get it now, or it’ll be a real headache.
Victor Brooks’s 1-star skill is the divine ability “Barbarian King’s Support,” which reduces the fatigue cost of using general tokens—perfect for a player like him who has many tokens. Matthew Ford, on the other hand, is the opposite—his burst skill consumes extra player fatigue, which is just not sustainable!
Forget it, to be honest, he’s just lusting after her body!
A messenger entered: “Master of Livestock, the king and the cave lords want to see you!”
“Yes.”
Victor Brooks! Victor Brooks...
Chicken Bro walked expectantly to the main hall, and at first glance was captivated by Victor Brooks with her head full of peacock feathers! The ultraviolet rays of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau had given her skin a bronzed, glossy sheen, as mesmerizing as natural silk stockings!
Their eyes met, and she smiled at Chicken Bro, dazzling like a peacock spreading its tail!
Chicken Bro was instantly entranced! This wild, powerful beauty was something those frail modern starlets and internet influencers with their filters could never compare to...
She spoke, her voice as clear and resonant as chime bells: “It seems our talent here isn’t much of a fighter. If something happens, we’ll be at a big loss—My King, since all the brothers are here for the festival, why not give him a blessing as a welcome gift?”
Is it hers? Chicken Bro could barely contain his inner joy!
Matthew Ford laughed heartily: “My wife is right—what do you all say, brothers?”
Everyone roared with laughter: “Of course, for the king and queen, we must show respect!”
Matthew Ford shouted: “Alright, let’s do it!”
With a wave of his hand, a general token flew from his grasp, circling the hall!
Chicken Bro’s expression changed—it was Matthew Ford’s!
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!!!
The next moment, the auras of all the generals in the hall began to stir, and dozens of starlike lights rose up and converged on the general token...
—System prompt: Congratulations! You have obtained the special enhanced 2-star “Grand Sacrifice Matthew Ford” general token!
1-star ability: Barbarian King’s Burst.
2-star ability: Shamanic Protection.
...
Chicken Bro was stunned on the spot!
It turned out to be a special enhanced version of Matthew Ford! Just like those “Divine Guan Yu” or “Demonic Lü Bu” characters in many Three Kingdoms mobile games, made especially for the big-spending players—distinct from the regular versions for ordinary players.
But Chicken Bro couldn’t be happy at all. If it wasn’t Matthew Ford, it should have been the special enhanced version of Victor Brooks! If he missed this chance, how long would he have to wait for the next one? Mid-Autumn Festival? There’s no way to build up such a big event in just three months—maybe by Spring Festival.
Chicken Bro felt a suffocating frustration, made worse by having to force a smile and thank the king for his gift...
After the banquet ended, Chicken Bro completed his task and left Tiger Elephant Hall.
By then, the sun was setting, and a group of followers was already waiting at the door, cheering: “Congratulations to Chicken Bro for getting the top-tier Barbarian King! Chicken Bro is invincible!”
