"When you become an adult's apprentice, you are no longer a mortal. Remember the word "loyalty". Don't listen to anyone's words, you can only listen to adults."

"Your brother, I am already the chief general. You are about to become a favorite disciple of your adults. Our family will definitely get better and better in the future. Don't feel uncomfortable. You should study in Tunbao School well. You will have a chance to make a name for yourself. The two girls should also read more at home. When you grow up, brother will find you a good family for you." Wu Lin looked at his younger brother and sister and said earnestly.

"Well, brother, don't worry, the Lions will work hard." The twelve-year-old Wu Shi nodded and said seriously.

At noon, Zhang Bao, Li Youwu, Li Youtian and Wu Xiong gathered in the lobby of the Acropolis government office. Zhang Bao and Li Youwu, Li Youtian stood upright, and Wu Xiong knelt on the ground.

"Wu Xiong, are you willing to be my apprentice and learn how to make bamboo armor?" Zhao Hai said seriously.

"I am willing to do so. Master is here. Please accept the disciple's three bows." Wu Xiong said respectfully. After a while, he kowtowed three times on the bluestone slab, and his forehead suddenly became blue.

Zhang Bao handed a cup of fragrant tea to Wu Xiong. Wu Xiong took the fragrant tea, raised it over his head, walked a few steps on his knees, came to Zhao Hai, and said respectfully: "Master, please use tea."

Zhao Hai took the fragrant tea, took a sip, and looked at Wu Xiong with a smile.

Wu Xiong's mind was shocked, and a yellow light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him that only Zhao Hai and himself could see, and the book was written:

Skill     1

Bamboo Armor - Junior Apprentice Level 0: Experience Value, 0-10

Wu Xiong looked at the yellow light curtain in front of him in shock, and his mouth was so open that he could stuff an egg~~~

"Don't panic. As for my subordinates, you should keep your secrets and follow your teacher's orders. If you betray, you will be struck by lightning. Your body and head are different. As long as you do your work faithfully, your life will be better and better in the future." Zhao Hai said majesticly.

"I hope, my disciple will treat his master as his father and serve his master for life." Wu Xiong kowtowed heavily and said respectfully.

"Please get up, disciple." Zhao Hai held Wu Xiong's arms and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master." Wu Xiong slowly stood up, bowed and stood on one side. Zhao Hai glanced around the four people and said with a smile: "From the first month of next year, you will be four people, each of them will be one stone per month: one dou of grain and one qian of silver."

The four of them were delighted, and they all fell to the ground and said respectfully: "The disciple Zhang Bao [Li Youtian~~~] thanks the master for his generous gifts, wishing him a hundred years of life and the pines and cypresses will not grow old."

Zhao Hai raised his hands with a faint smile and said, "Wu Xiong, you can go to Mazidun to find the mother of the head of the personal army, Lord Zhang, to learn how to make bamboo armor. Let's go down first."

"No, the disciple [~~~] said goodbye·~~~~~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Hai retreated and quietly painted Xuanwu in the study. Two hours passed without realizing it. When the first hundred Xuanwu appeared on a bamboo armor with white light flowing, the dark ink emitted a white light, gradually merged with the original white light of the bamboo armor. The ink seemed to merge with the bamboo armor, just like being carved on the bamboo armor.

Zhao Hai was overjoyed when he looked at the bamboo armor, and saw a line of dragons and phoenixes dancing, shining words appearing:

White-grade bamboo armor - insect-proof 1, solid 1

"Originally, there was only one white-grade bamboo armor with insect-proof attribute. After painting Xuanwu, there was a sturdy attribute. The originally useless white-grade bamboo armor, suddenly it increased by 10% of its defense. Hahahaha~~~, can I draw a few more on a bamboo armor~~~~~" Zhao Hai murmured in his heart, and opened the yellow light curtain with ecstasy:
