Lin Wei transmigrated to a world of swords and magic. His core cheat ability was the [Bond Leader System], primarily focused on recruiting subordinates. However, before officially activating it, he had to complete an extremely difficult prerequisite quest. [You must unlock the special bond 'Nemesis' to obtain subsequent bond functions.] This quest took him 18 years to complete. But on the day he finally finished it, Lin Wei found it was all worthwhile. The 'Nemesis' bond effect made him the most difficult individual unit to kill in the world, allowing him to ignore risks and confidently interact with various high-quality bond characters, eventually finding a way to recruit (or rather, trick) them into joining his team. "You're right, that's how our Bond Leaders are. Even passing dogs have to be checked to see if they can form a bond before being allowed to leave."... "Lucky star, lucky star, out of your mind!" "A promise and a reward, a fortune in gold!"... "If you can defeat my subordinates and reach me, then you will discover a despairing truth—my combat power is the sum of all my subordinates." —————— Keywords: [Otherworldly Golden Shovel] [Dihua] [Conquest and Farming] [Invincible] [Multiple Heroines]
