Ming Dynasty: Summoning game players at the beginning

Chapter 35: Lure You Into a Trap
At the same time in Yangjiazhai, player Li Mu was reading the "Infernal Affairs Plan" handed over by the other players——

The players caused chaos in the county government office, killed a large number of chief officials, pretended to be defeated and captured, and then pretended to be unable to withstand the torture and confessed the location of the so-called "nest".

If the county armed forces believed what the "traitor" said and gathered all the armed forces in the county to suppress the bandits, then their deployment time and mobilization strength would be exposed to Li Mu.

Moreover, the official roads that large troops use to go to fixed locations are fixed, which means that the marching route for suppressing bandits in the county is also controlled by Li Mu.

This is equivalent to the game dispelling all the fog of war, exposing all the enemy's intelligence to you. The battle is half won before it even starts.

Even if the county armed forces do not quite believe the "traitor" and still want to test the truth, or even see through the Infernal Affairs plan, it is of no importance to the overall situation.

After all, the Qihuo Army's rampage in Shangcheng County had nothing to do with him, Li Mu.

He was a good man who organized refugees to reclaim wasteland, recruited local militia to maintain local peace, and made great contributions to the peace and tranquility of the county.

Of course, the game players caused a big disturbance in the county, sending a bunch of corrupt officials to hell, which brought him a reward of 800 life points, more than twice as much as the last battle that made him famous.

From this we can see that the Mandate value of the "Reputation Route" is related to the perception of the people.

Destroying Gaojiazhuang was merely "robbing the rich to help the poor," while killing the seventh-rank county magistrate and other officials was equivalent to risking rebellion to eliminate harm for the people.

According to this logical reasoning, if the player kills a corrupt official at the prime minister level, or kills the princes and gentry who own hundreds of thousands of acres of land, the destiny value will soar.

This fat pig with explosive "Destiny Value" must be caught in the palm of your hand.

It is now the summer of the eleventh year of Chongzhen. Li Mu relies on the Ming Dynasty history supplemented by the players in real time and his own understanding of it to know that Li Zicheng should be hiding in that mountain valley at this time.

Zhang Xianzhong temporarily led his troops to surrender and would not rebel again until the same time next year, while Li Zicheng would wait until Zhang Xianzhong had rebelled for more than half a year before leading his troops to break out of the poor mountains.

In this way, Li Mu had at least more than a year to harvest the "fat pigs" in the surrounding areas.

He took out the detailed map made by the player and slid his finger around the Shangcheng County.

The two closest vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were King Chong of Runing Prefecture in the north and King Chu of Wuchang Prefecture in the south.

It is not difficult to kill the captive princes. Just like "making a big fuss in the county government office", you can organize a group of hundreds of brave players to blow up the wall of the prince's mansion and behead him directly.

But there was a problem. Killing the prince directly would not wipe out his entire clan, nor would it take away the prince's huge sum of money and food. It might even benefit the local corrupt officials...

Li Mu changed his mind and gave up the idea. He put these fat pigs on the blacklist first and pulled out the list when he could slaughter the pigs in the future.

The most important thing right now is of course - drawing cards!
Since Li Mu is the only resurrection point for the time being, all the players who died in battle will return to Yangjiazhai, and there will be no multiple consumption of dying and being resurrected, and then dying again.

Besides, the player’s own reserve resurrection has not been used up, so Li Mu does not need to increase the total reserve.

So there is only one answer, all 800 life points are in to draw cards -

[25 beginner players, kilograms of beets, kilograms of corn, kilograms of salt]

Not bad, quite good. Although the number of players is a little less, there are more food and salt than ever before.

However, the "activation codes" purchased by players over the past few days have taken effect, and online players have been loading into the game one after another. The total number of online players has exceeded 200!
Based on the speed at which players are summoned by destiny value and the speed at which players issue activation codes on their own, the total number of players will probably exceed one thousand within a year. By then, even if they are divided into guerrilla teams of one hundred people, they can still spread out into several groups.

Such a gratifying result strengthened Li Mu's idea of ​​making a fortune quietly and developing his business by farming!
Thinking of this, his stomach suddenly growled. Li Mu rang the bell beside the table, and soon Wen Pan came in with a tray of food.

The northern-style snacks for two people were all cooked by the girl herself.

Whenever Li Mu ate steamed buns with corn porridge in his hands, he felt so comfortable. A man and a woman sitting opposite each other and eating, he always felt a warm feeling of returning to his hometown.

The little girl was nourished with sufficient nutrition every day, and her dry face became rosy. The "dog-chewed head" that she had used for shelter gradually recovered to ear level.

……

"Master, it's time to get up~ Be happy in the new day~"

A gentle murmur of waking up was heard, and Liu Changsheng opened his eyes and groaned.

Bleary-eyed, he flailed his arms and rummaged around until he finally found his gold-rimmed, non-prescription glasses on the bedside table and set them on his nose. The moment they obscured his vision, he saw a holographic projection float before him—a virtual electronic housekeeper whose face he had personally shaped.

"Please check your messages to avoid missing important information~"

As the electronic butler spoke, pop-up messages from several social software filled his vision one after another. Liu Changsheng quickly browsed through the many spam messages and advertisements and finally found a useful one.

It was a message and a jump link sent to him by his high school classmate Lao Huang.

Lao Huang said that he found a "masterpiece" virtual game that is absolutely suitable for Liu Changsheng to play.

Another virtual game?

Liu Changsheng looked at his slightly shrunken and skinny legs. Could the realistic virtual game restore sensation to his legs that had been damaged in an accident?
But he has gotten used to it. He is only in his twenties and has a long life ahead of him.

If he didn't kill time with virtual games to numb himself, he would suddenly remember the fact that he had finally forgotten: he would be permanently disabled.

Intelligent robots immediately entered the house, picked him up and carried him to the living room, where more robots washed and dressed him.

After he finished washing and having breakfast, the robot placed him in the game's dedicated "diving chamber" as ordered, and at the same time kneaded the muscles of his limbs to maintain the basic elasticity of his muscles.

The turmoil of the late Ming Dynasty?

According to Lao Huang, this game is similar to Mount & Blade 3, both of which are virtual first-person perspective battles, but the gaming feel of this game is weaker and the sense of reality is particularly strong.

Liu Changsheng smiled bitterly. This kind of name made it clear that it was a mass-produced cheap virtual game. No matter how realistic the virtual game was, it was just "digital garbage" made up of special effects modeling and plot text.

But since it was recommended by Lao Huang, no matter how bad his first impression was, he had to go in and take a look.

I saw the special transparent cover of the game cabin slowly covering my body, like a translucent battleship hibernation chamber. As usual, Liu Changsheng would shout before closing his eyes.

“Brainstorm, connect!”

After a slogan that was of little use but full of a middle school vibe, Liu Changsheng entered the virtual game with a wry smile.

His consciousness seemed to fall into a colorful and bright tunnel of time and space.

The first step in the new game is naturally to create a face and give it a name.

However, Liu Changsheng was not interested in this. He didn't care about the appearance of the ancient god or the name of the evil god. He just wanted to follow all the conditions in reality with just one click.

So he randomly generated an ordinary-looking young man from the Ming Dynasty, and his name was also Liu Changsheng. Fortunately, no one registered the name before him, and it passed the review smoothly.

Liu Changsheng, who was ready for everything, clicked to start the game, and suddenly everything in front of him became pitch black. After a moment, a white dot appeared in the center of his eyes, and then gradually expanded and bloomed, quickly dispelling the darkness in front of him.

The previously silent surroundings suddenly became filled with a clamor of voices, as numerous figures with green symbols above their heads wandered around. This was a semi-enclosed building, with some going upstairs, others leaving. Liu Changsheng subconsciously followed them, heading towards the brightly lit exit.

The door opens up and the outdoor space becomes bright.

The soft sunlight shines on the earth, and the slight warmth from the sunlight on the cheeks is transmitted to the brain.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of damp coolness, leaving an itchy sensation on his face. Liu Changsheng subconsciously stroked his cheek and stared at his raised left hand in disbelief.

The rosy white palm was filled with delicate lines and light blue veins. He could even feel a hint of warmth when it touched his cheek. The real friction gave him the illusion of being in reality.

He couldn't help but slap himself. The slight pain was like a light slap, and the overall severity should be less than half of the reality.

More importantly, he could clearly feel the sensations of lifting his legs, squatting, standing, walking, running, jumping...

It was a feeling he was once familiar with, but then suddenly lost.

His legs seemed to return and he stood up.
