Chapter 186 37: Starting the Journey to Imperial Business

In Yileimiao's opinion, the inheritance of ancestors is a benefit given to players by the game officials.

The game "Baijia Zhudao" is too difficult. If it develops step by step, based on the player's ability, it is unknown how long it will take to get out of the Northern Frontier and enter the huge plot copy of the Imperial Shang Dynasty.

Moreover, according to the most basic settings of this game, I'm afraid the Imperial Shang Dynasty is still a medium-level copy.

This is a fantasy world after all. There should be something even more awesome above the Imperial Shang Dynasty plot copy.

For example, Beihai, the two saints, Bingyi and so on.

The game background of "Hundred Schools of Thought" is too large. Not to mention the huge plot copy of the Imperial Shang Dynasty, even the eighteen barbarians in the northern border are enough to make players suffer.

Yileimiao clearly remembered that it was just a small Iltsk Oasis dungeon that caused this group of players to be abused for more than a month.

If the NPC from Yancheng hadn't taken force and flattened the Iltsk Oasis, everyone would still be stuck in the Iltsk Oasis copy!
"Ancestor, oh ancestor, please give me some strength and show me some awesome magical power!"

Although Yileimiao is a small wealthy woman, she is a true second-generation rich. Her father was one of those people born in 90 who resolutely resigned from his job and started his own business. Her family is not a hereditary family and there is no family tree.

Fortunately, she successfully inherited the power of her ancestors in the game, although she still doesn't know who her ancestors are!

"Let's log off first and check who the ancestor is!"

Yileimiao was a little afraid to check what magical powers she had obtained. She hesitated for a while and finally decided to log off and check who her ancestor was.

Then go online and check your own magical powers.

"At the end of the Song Dynasty, he was originally a soldier of the Yuan Dynasty. He claimed that he had committed many crimes and was a criminal of the Song Dynasty."

"found it!"

Looking at the information she found, Yileimiao’s eyes widened.

Her ancestor was actually one of the three great men of the late Song Dynasty, Zhang Shijie!

A famous general who fought against the Yuan Dynasty and a national hero, he is known as one of the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty along with Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu.

"Meow meow meow?"

"Great, my ancestor!"

Seeing that her ancestor was so famous, Yile Miao's heart suddenly calmed down. With an ancestor who was famous throughout the ages, it seemed that his magical powers should not be too bad!

Entering the game with anticipation, Yileimiao immediately checked the magical powers she inherited from her ancestors.

【Fiery loyalty and blazing fire】.

In [Secret Realm of Ancestors], Zhang Shijie considers himself a sinner of the Song Dynasty, charged with many crimes, and the only thing he can pass on to future generations is loyalty.

He served the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty with all his heart and loyalty, and would rather be devoured by flames than surrender to the Mongols.

Yileimiao, who inherited the power of her ancestors and mastered the magical power of [Red Loyalty Flame], can imitate her ancestors. When forced into a desperate situation by the enemy, she can use the magical power of [Red Loyalty Flame] to ignite the sky-devouring flame with a loyal heart and maintain her loyalty!

"Red Loyalty Blazing Flame, this magical power."

"Why is it so suitable for me!!!"

This is a magical power that allows one to die together with the enemy. Compared with the [Common Hatred and Common Enemy] inherited by Niu Bu, this magical power seems to be a little weaker.

but!
Yileimiao felt that this magical power was tailor-made for her.

Yileimiao is a military strategist of the Yin-Yang school, and has mastered the three magical powers of [using oneself as bait], [burning the camps], and [borrowing the east wind].

Among them, [Burning the Camps] and [Borrowing the East Wind] are the two most common magical powers of the Yin-Yang School of Military Science. The two magical powers complement each other. When the time and place are favorable to Yileimiao, these two magical powers can easily defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops.

As a military strategist who believes in Yin and Yang, Yileimiao wants to emulate Liu Xiu and position himself as a "great magician".

Now Yile Miao has mastered two magical powers to fight against enemies, but due to her own strength, in a close combat 1V1 situation, she is no match for the Gongyang School of Confucianism and the Bingqiao School of Military Strategies.

This makes Yileimiao's magical power of [Using Herself as Bait] seem a bit useless. Every time Yileimiao uses the magical power of [Using Herself as Bait], she needs to set up a trap in advance to lure the enemy into the trap.

If the enemy doesn't fall for it, Yileimiao will not only waste time and energy setting traps, but will also directly waste her own magical powers.

But now it's different.

After mastering the magical power of [Red Loyalty and Blazing Flame], Yile Miao no longer needs to set traps in advance. When she is far away from the enemy, she can use the magical powers of [Burning the Camps] and [Borrowing the East Wind].

When the enemy approaches, she can also use [Use Herself as Bait] to lure the enemy, and then use [Red Flame] to die together with the enemy.

"wonderful!"

"Brilliant!"

"You are worthy of being my ancestor!"

After inheriting her ancestor's magical power [Red Loyalty Blazing Flame], Yileimiao instantly clarified her future development direction.

[Grand Mage] + [Suicide Truck]!
"From afar, we can use the east wind to burn down the enemy's camps; from nearby, we can destroy the enemy together with us!"

"Wonderful, indescribably wonderful!"

Yileimiao's face was instantly filled with smiles. After inheriting the power of her ancestors, she couldn't help but want to find the enemy to test her magical powers.

But, the annoying thing is that the northern border is now covered with ice, and such weather completely restrains her magical powers.

In addition, all the barbarians stayed in the city and refused to come out, so she was powerless.

"Damn, Master Yilei Miao has also inherited the power of his ancestors?"

"What is Master Miao's magical power? Can it compete with Brother Niu's magical power?"

"Who is Sister Miaomiao's ancestor? I'm so curious!"

"I regret it, brothers. I sold it too early. Now one [casting] can be sold for 18 yuan. I sold it for 8 yuan before."

"Hahaha, luckily I was smart and saved the [casting] for a few days. I feel that the [casting] will still increase in value. Oh, I really envy the old players. The [casting] they have is the biggest part. We newbies only earn a little bit of [casting] every day."

"Don't be jealous. You can make a lot of money by moving bricks in this game. You can make three or four hundred yuan a day by moving bricks in the game. Where can you find such a high-paying job?"

"How do you make three or four hundred? Don't you want to eat or drink?"

“Don’t worry about eating or drinking. Save all the money you earn. As for the character starving to death, it’s fine. Anyway, there are resurrection coins. It’s fine if he starves to death and resurrects!”

Official Forums.

After Yileimiao inherited the power of her ancestors and mastered the magical power [Red Loyalty Blazing Flame], the forum became lively again.

In the eyes of current players, [Ancestral Secret Realm] = the plug-in benefit given to players by the official.

Before Niu Bu entered the [Ancestral Secret Realm], he was also very strong, but his strength was limited.

But after he entered the [Ancestral Secret Realm], he was able to confront Qi Jiajing head-on and cut off Qi Jiajing's hand.

The same was true for Yi Lei Miao. Before entering the [Ancestral Secret Realm], Yi Lei Miao was easily crushed by Zhang Xiaoti in a discussion.

But now, the two discussed again. Although Zhang Xiaoti still won, it was no longer an easy victory, but a hard-fought victory.

You have to know that Yileimiao is a military strategist from the Yin-Yang school, and all of her magical powers are of the group attack type, not the 1V1 type.

Even so, he almost died together with Zhang Xiaoti.

This situation has made players more eager to buy holographic gaming cabins. The original price of a [cast] of 10 yuan has skyrocketed to 18 yuan, and is still rising.

The holographic game cabin is worth 5 [cast]. According to the current market price of [Baobao Pavilion], the price of the holographic game cabin is almost reaching 100 million.

Poor people make up the majority of people in this world.

Not many players can spend 100 million to buy a holographic gaming cabin.

It is precisely because of this that countless players have set their sights on the forum's Hot King event. They are frantically posting spam messages on the forum, trying to get the ranking of the Forum Hot King.

In this way, they can not only get a holographic gaming cabin for free, but also get a considerable cash reward and a virtual gaming helmet worth 50 (purchased by Zhao Wuying at a clearly marked price).

The Forum Popularity King event lasts for one week, and there is less than an hour left until it ends.

Currently, "Baijia Zhudao" has entered a rather boring stage. Every day when players enter the game, they can only do some repetitive daily tasks most of the time.

Although these tasks can earn a lot of money, many players still quit the game and come to the forum, waiting for the opportunity to win the prize.

Everyone has the mentality of a gambler and a lucky person.

Even though most players know that this forum hot topic has nothing to do with them.

But what if?
What if I get lucky and win the prize?

"10 minutes left, 10 minutes left, the prize will be announced!"

"Hi, I'm so excited, do you think I will win the prize?"

"What the hell are you dreaming about? I think the person with the highest chance of winning is He Ao. Not only did this guy live broadcast the entire first offline gathering of players, he also live-streamed the making of Ink Attack: Skyfall, and posted a post revealing the trip to Beiting!"

"I don't think so. Although He Ao posts a lot, Gong Shengde's Lunyu School posts are too popular. I think Gong Shengde will most likely win the popularity title."

"Who cares? Eat melon, eat melon!"

"You're just playing the game instead of doing your daily tasks? You must be bored."

"What a ridiculous task! It's so rare to have a chance to enjoy the show. It's better to just enjoy the show!"

More than 300 players have gathered in the forum, waiting to see who will be the most popular player in the forum. There are many gamblers among them. One of them, named Zhang Wudao, actually posted a thread to start a betting process, asking players to place bets on who will be the most popular player.

Seeing that even gambling dealers appeared in the forum, Chu Zhongxing was quite ashamed. My goodness, all my players are talented, right?

As time passed, more and more players flocked into the forum. Under the anticipation of countless players, Chu Zhongxing posted the post that he had prepared long ago.

[Congratulations on the successful conclusion of the first Forum Hot King. The winners are as follows.

First place: Gong Shengde.

Player Gong Shengde, popularity value 6714, ranks first, congratulations, you will receive a holographic game cabin, a virtual game helmet, and a reward of 10 RMB.

Second place: He Ao.

Player He Ao, with a popularity value of 5398, ranks second. Congratulations, you will receive a virtual game helmet and a reward of 8 RMB.

Third place:
Let us congratulate the above players for winning this popularity ranking award. As the first event of the forum, we are honored to have the participation of all the players.

To express our gratitude to all players for their strong support, we will distribute two super red envelopes in the forum.

One of the red envelopes contains a 10 RMB cash reward, and the other contains a coin reward.

Everyone can participate and everyone can win prizes. Please pay attention to the official posts and actively participate.

Once again, let us celebrate the successful conclusion of the first Forum Hotness King event. Please look forward to the next Forum Hotness King event. 】

Amid the anticipation of thousands of players, the official forum posted a message announcing the forum popularity ranking. Gong Shengde, who was squatting in the forum, was so excited that he almost cried after seeing that he had won the first place reward.

Oh no, he was actually the first, and he actually got the holographic gaming cabin that all players wanted.

Official, love you!
Gong Shengde was extremely excited. He had no intention of becoming the most popular player in the forum. He just wanted to create a school of thought in Lunyu. However, he unexpectedly succeeded in becoming the third player in the game to own a holographic game cabin.

He, Gong Shengde, surpassed the first-test player He Ao!
"There is also a virtual game helmet. Zhao Wuying clearly marked it as 500,000 yuan for it. This is a huge sum of money!" Gong Shengde danced with excitement. For most people in Yanlong Country, 500,000 yuan can not only make people financially free, but also greatly alleviate their personal financial situation.

Of course, if it were on the Douyin platform, Gong Shengde could only say that 500,000 was nothing special, and it was not worth mentioning in the context of Douyin with an annual salary of one million.

"Oh, I didn't even do Gong Shengde, but a virtual helmet is not bad. After selling the virtual helmet, I will not be far from the holographic game cabin."

Seeing that he was ranked second, He Ao couldn't stop smiling.

Anyway, my posting during this period was not in vain.

A post about the first offline gathering of players + a post about the live production of Ink Attack: Skyfall + a post about intriguing plot speculation.

The three posts helped He Ao successfully win the second place and get a virtual gaming helmet.

"This is the second time I've gotten a virtual gaming helmet. Last time I only sold it for 8, but this time I can sell it for 50!"

"Hey, this reminds me of Wen Lundeng. That guy was quite foresighted and directly priced the virtual gaming helmet at one million. But unfortunately he was too greedy and violated the rules of the game, so he was banned!"

He Ao did not talk about it. He planned to sell the virtual game helmet for 50 yuan, and then invest all the money into the game to exchange it for a holographic game cabin more quickly.

Niu Bu and Yile Miao have inherited the power of their ancestors and mastered the magical powers. Gong Shengde is about to get the holographic game cabin. He He Ao must also hurry up, get the holographic game cabin, inherit the power of his ancestors, and become the master.

"Oh, yes, there are two big red envelopes!"

He Ao quickly exited the post and looked for the two big red envelopes sent by the official.

He was lucky enough to get 375.41 yuan and 27 coins.

Including the virtual game cabin and 8 RMB reward, He Ao earned a total of 58.086 RMB today.

With a daily income of nearly 58.1, He Ao can only say that the official of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" is the most generous game official he has ever seen!

It is indeed a game that offers plenty of money!

"Master, Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Outside Yancheng, [Mohist mechanical engineering experimental site].

There is strength in numbers. It only took three days from the construction of the [Mohist Mechanical Engineering Experimental Site] to its completion.

The Mohist mechanical engineering experimental site not far from Yancheng is still a building with a rough style.

The walls were made of rough and huge bluestones, and the house was built of stone and wood. Standing inside the house and looking at the twisted beams, Chu Zhongxing was worried that the house would collapse in the next second.

Although the building of the Mohist mechanical engineering experimental site is not very good, it is still good to build such a building in three days without mastering the magical power of "building a house with a single log" and without cranes, tower cranes and other construction tools.

What comforted Chu Zhongxing a little was that He Ao did not embezzle the [Casting] he gave him, but distributed all the [Casting] to the players who participated in the construction.

I don’t know if He Ao himself is an honest person and has no greed.

It was the same reason that all the players present knew when Chu Zhongxing gave He Ao the money.

Anyway, He Ao's actions this time made Chu Zhongxing couldn't help but nod his head.

"There's nothing good or bad about it. You've been serving General Guo for more than a month. Although he hasn't acknowledged you as his granddaughter, he's not on guard against you.

Only you can drug General Guo and make him unconscious."

Chu Zhongxing looked at [Yin Yin] who had completed her job change in front of him, and whispered instructions.

Yinyin, the female player, is a girl who is only 1.3 meters tall. Ever since she entered the game, she has been calling the white-haired soldiers of the Zhenbei Army "grandpa" all the time, making them confused. Chu Zhongxing gave Yinyin a task.

Let her take care of Guo Xiaoding who was seriously injured and defeated a thousand people alone.

Everyone has their own weaknesses. Yin Yin, a girl who calls grandpa all the time, is a fatal temptation to Guo Xiaoding.

As the so-called beauty trap, the woman does not have to be a beauty, and may not even be a human being.

Guo Xiaoding, who has no children and has never enjoyed the joy of family, can't resist Yinyin who calls him grandpa all the time. Although he has not acknowledged Yinyin as his goddaughter in the past two months, every time he sees Yinyin, Guo Xiaoding's unchanging poker face always breaks into a smile.

Letting Yin Yin drug Guo Xiaoding and make him unconscious is definitely the best person.

"Coach, is this medicine really just anesthetizing and sleeping?"

"if not?"

"You don't think I want to poison General Guo!"

Chu Zhongxing was very depressed. Why did the female player Yinyin look at him as if he were a villain?

My President Chu Zhong is so handsome, does he look like a villain who will do anything for power?

Besides, I am the commander-in-chief of Yancheng and Guo Xiaoding is my subordinate. Do I need to poison Guo Xiaoding for the sake of power?
Seeing Yin Yin's face full of doubt, Chu Zhongxing could only give a brief explanation.

"You should know about the incident in which General Guo defeated a thousand people on his own."

Yinyin is a player who came to Yancheng in version 0.65. Guo Xiaoding's solo victory over a thousand riders was before she arrived. Chu Zhongxing specifically asked Yinyin about this, and after she nodded, Chu Zhongxing continued to explain:
“Since you know this, you must also know about the eighteen barbarian tribes in the northern border.

General Guo single-handedly defeated a thousand men and bought us a winter, making the barbarians from the eighteen tribes in the northern border fearful and afraid to invade our Yancheng.

However, deterrence is still deterrence. With the methods used by the northern barbarians, their army will surely arrive at the gates of the city and capture Yancheng in the spring of next year."

"Now, the only chance of survival is to lead the troops south, break through the barbarian blockade, and return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty."

"You should know General Guo. Do you think General Guo will give up Yancheng and follow me south to return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty?"

"Definitely not. He lost twelve cities in the Northern Frontier, so he must be returning to Imperial Merchants without a word."

Yinyin immediately replied, and then she lowered her voice: "If the barbarian army arrives at the city, General Guo will live and die with Yancheng!"

"Go!"

Chu Zhongxing rubbed Yin Yin's head and said nothing more.

"Grandpa, is Grandpa here?"

"Yinyin is coming in!"

Yinyin, wearing a pigtail and holding a bowl of soothing soup, knocked on the door of the general's mansion.

She stood outside and waited for about ten seconds. When she found that no one responded, she carefully pushed the door and walked into the general's mansion.

In the general's mansion, Guo Xiaoding was taking a nap leaning on a chair.

Ever since he handed over power to Chu Zhongxing and got injured, Guo Xiaoding seemed like an old man in his twilight years. Every day he either talked to Yin Yin about the affairs of the Imperial Shang Dynasty or sat in a chair in a daze.

In the meantime, the only times he had emotional fluctuations were when he saw the new army of Yancheng and Zhang Chengjun.

Yin Yin pushed the door open and saw Guo Xiaoding taking a nap. She tiptoed over. She picked up a blanket and gently covered Guo Xiaoding with it. Just as she was about to leave, she heard an old voice coming from behind.

"It's Yin Yin!"

"It's my grandpa. I brought you a bowl of soothing soup. You're awake now, drink it while it's hot!"

Yin Yin felt guilty and didn't dare to look back at Guo Xiaoding, even though she knew that this bowl of soul-soothing soup was just a drug and that this was just a game.

But no matter what, she was drugging Guo Xiaoding after all, and she felt guilty about it.

"What a filial child."

"I've always wondered what it would be like if I had children."

Guo Xiaoding looked at the blanket on his body with a very kind look. He could die with peace of mind knowing that he had such a granddaughter at the end of his life.

"Hehe, if grandpa had children, they would definitely be more filial than me."

Yinyin praised him immediately. Thinking of her mission, she gritted her teeth and brought the tranquilizing soup to Guo Xiaoding carefully.

"Grandpa, the calming soup can help you recover from your injuries. Drink it while it's hot."

"Good, good, good!"

Guo Xiaoding, who had only one eye left, looked meaningfully at Yin Yin, whose body was stiff and a little nervous. He took the calming soup and drank it all in one gulp under Yin Yin's expectant gaze.

"Grandpa, you need to get more sleep after drinking the tranquilizing soup. Continue to rest and remember to go to bed!"

Seeing Guo Xiaoding drink up the calming soup in one gulp, Yinyin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After giving him some instructions, she left the general's mansion.

"Drink it all?"

"Mmmm, drink it up!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, Commander. I saw General Guo drink it all with my own eyes!"

"Very good, here is your reward!"

After hearing Yin Yin say that Guo Xiaoding had no doubts and drank the tranquilizing soup in one gulp, Chu Zhongxing always felt that something was wrong.

"Forget it, there is no time to think too much. The temperature in the northern border is slowly rising. If we don't break through the blockade, there will be no chance!"

The coldest weather in the northern border is almost over, and Chu Zhongxing has little time to break through the barbarian blockade. He must go south to Beiting and Shicheng according to the plan, break through the blockade, and return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongxing immediately summoned the new army of Yancheng, which had reached 367 people, and asked them to go to the training ground.

The night is as dark as dusk, and the stars are dim.

In the martial arts arena, 367 players were riding on war horses, quietly waiting for Chu Zhongxing's arrival.

In less than an incense stick of time, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, hundreds of cavalrymen entered the training ground in an orderly manner, filling up the not-so-large training ground.

Each of the 141 cavalrymen had a strong aura of blood and murder. Compared with them, the 367 new troops of Yancheng seemed like lambs to be slaughtered.

After a few more breaths, 10 people riding on war horses slowly entered the martial arts field. After arriving at the martial arts field, seven of them immediately followed the Yancheng Town Beijun without saying a word.

The other three people came to the center of the martial arts field.

"The Imperial Shang Dynasty, nine kings rule together, the princes are causing chaos in the Shang Dynasty!
Because of this, the world is now in chaos, with barbarians plundering and slaughtering our imperial Shang people at will, leaving our imperial Shang people in dire straits.

As the emperor, how can we sit back and watch treacherous officials disrupt the government and bring disaster to the country and the people? "

"Although there are few soldiers in Yancheng today, we are willing to charge and kill the enemy for the emperor."

Having said that, Chu Zhongxing paused for a moment. He looked at the player who was breathing rapidly, slowly raised the flag of the Yancheng Town Northern Army, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Evil ministers are in power, causing chaos in the imperial business. Now, our soldiers of the Northern Zhen Army should be the sharp sword in the hands of the emperor."

"Let's go!"

"Target: Imperial Shang Dynasty!"

As Chu Zhongxing finished speaking, loud cheers broke out in the martial arts arena.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Kill back Di Shang! Kill back Di Shang!" (End of this chapter)
