Control your ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 1: The Magical Game Console, Battle of Kunyang

2025, winter, Jiangnan Province, Jinling City.

Thursday.

Jiangnan in winter is pure magical damage.

Gu Yi curled up in the quilt, relying on the small amount of magic resistance provided by the electric blanket. He quickly reached out and grabbed the mobile phone beside the pillow and put it into the quilt.

The speed is so fast that it can be called a concept god.

As soon as he touched the phone, he immediately buried his head in the quilt and eagerly turned on the screen.

My long-distance girlfriend of five years cheated on me. Now I'm only fifty dollars short of a plane ticket. Come over here when you're fifty, and I'll make a revenge video for you.

[One trick to kill the circle of friends, submit to win gifts]

How simple it is for men to replenish their Qi and blood.

【.]
After scanning through more than a dozen pop-up application windows and confirming that there was no expected message, Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh deeply:
“It’s so hard to find a job.”

He has been graduated for nearly three months.

If Gu Yi before graduation was "My destiny is in my own hands", then the current Gu Yi is "You say three thousand, so it's three thousand."

Fresh graduates are required to have work experience.

Is this something a human can say?

Thinking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

He threw his phone aside and turned on the air conditioner. Then he stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling confused about the future.

I just stayed like that for a long time.

He didn't get up until the warm air from the air conditioner filled the entire room.

Gu Yi's parents are both educators, and the couple has a very regular daily routine.

Living in this kind of family.

Gu Yi was naturally affected and rarely had time to sleep in.

Walking into the living room, it is much colder than the bedroom with limited space.

The old couple is out for their morning run and is not at home.

This is the way it is in today's era. Middle-aged and elderly people are in better health than each other, while young people are like seaweed, which will break at the slightest touch.

Gu Yi was already used to this, and he went to wash up while shivering.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the conspicuous express box on the dining table in the living room.

Ok?
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment.

Both Gu's father and mother are typical cultured people. They prefer shopping to online shopping.

I rarely buy things online.

What did you buy?
Gu Yi walked forward in confusion, looked at the receipt on the box, and suddenly found that this was his express delivery!
"Ok?"

"I haven't bought anything recently, who sent it?"

Gu Yi was a little confused. The express delivery note only had his name on it, and did not mention what was inside.

He picked up the delivery box and shook it.

It’s not light at all.

Full of doubts, Gu Yi was too lazy to look for a paper cutter. He went straight back to his room, took the key, and opened the express box along the transparent tape.

Inside the exquisite packaging is a strange game console.

It looks a lot like a switch.

The only difference is that this game console only has a power button, no card slot, and no control buttons like other game consoles.

"Model?"

Gu Yi frowned and tentatively pressed the power button on the game console.

The dark screen suddenly lit up.

An extremely desolate background picture instantly appeared, with two large, vigorous and powerful characters on it.

【Family】

Below that, there are several options.

[Start Game], [Game Achievements], [Family Information], [Notes], [End Game],

It’s not a model!
Gu Yi was a little surprised.

Who gave this to you?

Could it be that the old couple have changed their minds and this is a graduation gift for themselves?

But what about a game console?
According to the average rich person online, shouldn't it be the key to a luxury car?

Gu Yi didn't dwell on these things. Looking at the picture on the screen, what he was really curious about now was what kind of game this was.

Although he never indulged in games.

But as a young man living in this information age, he still knows whether there are any well-known blockbusters released recently.

I haven't heard of this game recently.

Could it be a work that a company has not yet announced?
Gu Yi tentatively clicked on the start game button on the screen.

There was a "bang" sound.

The desolate background image shattered instantly, the entire screen turned black again, and prompts flashed out one after another.

[Reading player's ancestor information.]

【Player information read successfully.】

[Time: The fourth year of Dihuang, the first year of Gengshi]

[Location: Kunyang]

"Extracting ancestral information?"

Gu Yi stared at the screen with great interest. Based on this hint, Gu Yi had roughly guessed what type of game this was.

It should be a simulation survival game like Don't Starve and Untamed.

This kind of game will have a similar prompt every time it starts loading.

"The first year of Gengshi?"

"It's actually based on ancient history?"

"Big production!"

Gu Yi waited for a few seconds.

Sure enough, as Gu Yi expected, the prompt disappeared automatically.

The game console speaker suddenly sounded.

Gusts of whistling wind came from it, and the sound effect was far better than imagined, as if it was really happening.

Along with the sound of wind, the picture gradually appeared on the screen in the middle.

I saw a tall man with beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes staring at me closely.

Behind him was an endless army and flags fluttering in the wind.

There are different large characters written on each side.

Gu Yi could probably recognize two of them.

One character is "Han";
One character is "Liu".

The scene was extremely real. Even through the screen, Gu Yi felt an inexplicable aura of solemnity.

"Which company is this from?"

Gu Yi was shocked. Although the game had not started yet, just based on this picture, Gu Yi had already felt the extraordinary nature of this game.

But how to play this game?
There aren't even any control buttons on this machine.

Gu Yi reached out and tapped the screen, but there was no response.

At this time, the man on the screen looked directly at him and spoke.

"Are you willing to follow me, Liu Xiu, and march towards Kunyang?"

Liu Xiu?

Emperor Guangwu of Han?

Heading towards Kunyang, was this before the Battle of Kunyang, when Liu Xiu was moving his troops?
Gu Yi’s knowledge of history was quite good. At least he still remembered some of the knowledge in the books, and the corresponding memories immediately flooded into his mind.

But because of this, he was even more shocked.

Wow, this game starts with such a big screen?

According to historical records.

In the Battle of Kunyang, the new army had at least hundreds of thousands of people.

Why is there such a big scene right at the beginning?
Gu Yi suddenly felt a little excited about this and waited silently for the tutorial.

The next moment, the prompt popped up again.

[The player is detected as a novice, so a novice gift pack is issued. 】

【Successfully opened the novice gift package.】

[Number of draws +1,]

【Do you want to draw the lottery now? 】

"lottery?"

Gu Yi never expected that this kind of prompt would pop up before the game even started.

Although now lottery has become a feature of domestic games.

But generally speaking, don’t we let the players have fun first before giving them this kind of lottery prompt?
This game is too inhumane, isn't it?

The anticipation that had just arisen was instantly reduced a bit, but Gu Yi still clicked to draw the prize immediately.

After all, no one would refuse to get something for free.

[Lottery successful.] Even the lottery UI didn't show up, and the prompt popped up instantly.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the God-level item - Celestial Phenomenon Card. It has been stored in the backpack.]

[(God) Celestial Phenomenon Card: After use, you can trigger various celestial phenomena at irregular intervals. The time required for each event will vary depending on the effect, and the specific effect is uncertain. (Examples: meteorite falling from the sky, landslides, solar and lunar eclipses, etc.)]

【Successfully opened the novice gift package.】

[No achievement points are required to integrate into the role this time. Do you want to integrate immediately? ]

[Note: Once you become a character, the game officially begins. You cannot pause or restart the game until you fail.]

"It can't be paused, it can't be restarted, and there's even a lottery, and there's no UI animation for the lottery?"

"Is it just purely forcing people to spend real money?"

Gu Yi no longer had any good feelings towards him.

He could even guess what would happen next.

It's nothing more than using some so-called god-level props to create an animation with touching effects.

Then they use the hardcore feature of the game that cannot be restarted or paused to make money and let players spend money to participate in the lottery.

These are just old tricks of the operators.

Gu Yi naturally wouldn't be fooled.

"No wonder we didn't do a large-scale promotion, otherwise we would be criticized to death."

He casually clicked yes, and then Gu Yi directly clicked on the backpack interface on the screen without waiting for the screen to change.

The only item card in the backpack was selected.

I chose to use it without any hesitation.

This kind of game is destined to be unsuitable for him who doesn't even have a job now.

Instead of not spending money and letting the big guys bully you, it’s better to get it for free from the operator.

No matter what, just have fun first!

Let's see what he can do.

[Used successfully. 】

The prompt popped up again, but there was no anime as Gu Yi had guessed.

Everything is still calm.

At this time, Liu Xiu in the picture seemed to see that Gu Yi had not responded, and his face became more anxious, and he spoke again:
"Everyone."

"Wang Mang is unjust and has usurped the throne, harming the people."

"My brother has not yet succeeded in attacking Wancheng. If Kunyang falls, all our forces will be defeated and annihilated by the enemy within a day."

"Instead of this, why not fight to the death?"

"How can a real man be afraid of death?"

Liu Xiu was already very handsome, and with the armor on, he looked extraordinarily heroic.

And the most important thing is that the footage in this section has obviously been studied by the development team.

At the moment when Liu Xiu finished speaking

A ray of sunlight just happened to penetrate the dark clouds and fell on him, making him shine brightly, like a god.

At this moment, the sounds of discussion around suddenly rang out.

It seemed that the soldiers around were discussing whether to follow Liu Xiu.

Although Gu Yi was no longer as excited as before, he still wanted to wait for the selection to be made and see how things would develop.

But at this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out, followed by the voice of Gu's mother calling for dinner from outside the door.

Gu Yi saw that there was no pop-up selection, so he casually said:

"I'll go with you, I'll go with you."

"If I don't go with you Liu Xiu, who else will I go with?"

After saying that, he threw the game console onto the bed, grabbed his phone, and walked out.
On the table.

Gu Yi was drinking porridge while watching Douyin.

"Have you heard of the legendary thousand-year-old family?"

At this time, Gu Yi saw a video from a public account, which introduced a family.

Although Gu Yi didn't know whether it was true or not.

But I continued reading.

This is the charm of the official account, the main feature is to attract attention.

Unexpectedly, just as the video ended, he heard the voice of Lao Gu beside him.

"How can a family that's only a few hundred years old brag so much?"

Gu Yi looked at Lao Gu in surprise. He never expected that Lao Gu would actually talk like this. He started to explain:

"It's rare to find a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and still has clear records."

He just said this casually.

But who would have thought that after hearing this, Old Gu became even more serious and put down the bowl in his hand very seriously.

"A few hundred years will be enough?"

Old Gu stared at Gu Yi with a serious face, "Our ancestors followed Emperor Guangwu of Han to conquer the world!"

Ok?
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment.

Followed Emperor Guangwu of Han to conquer the world?

Why haven't you heard of it before?

Old Gu is not the type of person who would joke about something like this.

But how come I don’t know about my own ancestors?
Gu Yi was a little confused.

Old Gu seemed to notice that something was wrong with Gu Yi's expression, and continued with a proud look on his face:
"Our ancestor was originally a captain."

"Do you know about the Battle of Kunyang?"

"Just before the Battle of Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, mobilized his troops everywhere. That's when our ancestor decided to help Liu Xiu."

"At that time, the Han army had only tens of thousands of soldiers, while the new army had hundreds of thousands, claiming to have a million soldiers."

“That’s when our ancestors started their business.”

The more Old Gu spoke, the more arrogant he became.

Gu Yi stared at him blankly, completely confused.

He knew that with Lao Gu's personality, he would never joke with him about such things.

He was not joking, so why hadn't I heard Lao Gu say that before?

It's impossible that Lao Gu had been hiding this from me for so many years.

And why does this plot feel a bit familiar?

Captain?

Before the Battle of Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu of Han moved his troops and decided to follow?

Gu Yi silently turned his head and looked at his room, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerating at this moment.

"Dad, does our ancestor have any other deeds?"

“What happens after you get started?”

he asked again.

"After so many years, many things have been lost."

Old Gu sighed softly, his expression somewhat melancholy. "Some things are just rumors among our descendants."

"You know that the record of the Battle of Kunyang in the Book of the Later Han mentions meteorites, right?"

"According to the rumors passed down from generation to generation in our family."

"That meteorite seems to have something to do with our family."

At the end of his speech, Lao Gu also showed an expression of doubt about his life.

After all, this is a scientific society, and this rumor has been passed down from generation to generation in the family. He can only regard it as the imagination of the ancients.

But to Gu Yi, these words sounded like thunder!
Is the meteorite related to our family?
He looked back at his bedroom again, his heart beating faster and faster.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran back to the room. He picked up the game console and clicked directly on the family information on the screen.

【Gu family】

[Current inheritance number: 1]

[Current inheritance years (from the time the player enters the game): 0 years]

[Patriarch: Gu Xiao]

【Family members: 5 people】

[Currently achieved achievements: None]

"Gu Xiao?"

After confirming the name, Gu Yi walked into the living room again, staring closely at the old consultant and said:

"Dad, do you still remember the name of our ancestor?"

"Haven't I told you this before?"

Old Gu immediately looked at Gu Yi, frowning slightly, very dissatisfied, "You even forgot the name of your ancestor?"

"remember."

"Mr. Gu's taboo name is Xiao."

"Our ancestor's name is Gu Xiao!"
