I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 672 Oh no, Chen Cheng is a science student

Tense, exciting, and worrying.

Although it's called the emergency command center office, it has actually been turned into a large hall, with a total audience of over 1000 people.

Each screen has a dedicated recording team. After all the information is collected, it is analyzed by a professional team and then distributed to various expert groups to ensure that no useful information is missed in the shortest possible time.

"If the Boss is Director Lin, then the Boss's message, 'Studying history can enlighten us, and understanding the past can help us learn from the present,' should be the key to passing this level."

"Report! Contestant number 1, Chen Cheng, has officially begun the dungeon challenge."

The central screen displays Chen Cheng's live stream.

Chen Cheng's image was magnified thirty times, and even the pores and acne scars on his face could be seen clearly.

A simple wooden door appeared in front of Chen Cheng.

He hesitated for only a minute before deciding to push the door open and go in.

Six tooth-shaped tokens floated in the air, emitting a soft white light.

Inside the command room, a Ming Dynasty historian couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed excitedly, "These are Ming Dynasty identity plaques! They represent the Left Censor-in-Chief, the Right Censor-in-Chief, the Minister of Justice, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, the Commissioner of the Court of Transmission, and the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Chen Bo, as Lin Xiaohe's secretary, was also invited in.

He is one of the few people who understand Lin Xiaohe.

His eyes lit up instantly, and he blurted out, "It's the role-playing game that Director Lin used to play! When Teacher Xinbao first came out, she specially designed a set of mini-games that combined role-playing and reasoning to help Director Lin relax."

What else is there to say?!

"Quick, find this game!" Si Sheng used his highest privileges to access Lin Xiaohe's game records.

When the game started, everyone was greatly surprised.

The startup screen is not unrelated to what Chen Cheng encountered; in fact, it's exactly the same!
Director Lin has been so lenient that he's practically overflowing the Pacific Ocean!
The problem is that this is a one-way passage, so they can't tell Chen Cheng the walkthrough!
How can this be done?

……

Chen Cheng stared blankly at the six tooth plates, then looked at the six chairs behind the tooth plates, above which hung a black plaque with gold trim.

The two characters "明刑" (Ming Xing) written in the thin gold script made his heart pound with fear.

Chen Cheng thought of the boss's message, covered his face with his hands, and let out a long sigh.

Director Lin is trying his best to use his connections, but he himself is letting him down. He's a science graduate who graduated over ten years ago!
For most people, the time when they are most knowledgeable in their senior year of high school is their final year.

It's been almost 20 years since he graduated from high school!

That's it, that's it.

Let's rely on the other guys to clear the game.

Chen Cheng closed his eyes and randomly picked one.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the second seat on the left.

Inside the hall, six tables are arranged in a semi-circle, facing a stone wall that is three zhang high.

There was nothing on the stone wall; it was as smooth as a pool of black water.

Chen Cheng looked at his desk, on which sat an ivory tablet, a vermilion brush, an inkstone, and a small bronze incense burner. A stick of incense was stuck in the burner, but it hadn't been lit yet.

The inscription on the ivory plaque reads: Minister of Justice, Second Rank.

Chen Cheng turned the domino over.

There is also a line of small characters on the back, the engraving is very shallow and can only be seen when the light is on the side.

[Volume 19 of the Ming Dynasty Code, Chapter on Human Homicide, Article on Killing and Injuring by an Incompetent Doctor.]

His brow twitched.

This is the key point for the exam. Anyone who has been to school knows that teachers don't highlight key points for no reason.

He put the domino back without making a sound. He then looked at the other five seats, but they were all dark shadows; he could see nothing and hear nothing.

[Hehe, where did Rat63 find this newbie? Pretty impressive! Look at this dungeon, it's so realistic!]

This kind of ancient dungeon demands extremely high levels of detail and even higher individual strength from the dungeon boss. This newcomer is extraordinary.

Why worry so much? We're just here for a bit of fun, and we can get a share of the crystal coins. What a bargain!

[My goodness! I've learned something new! So there are so many benefits to opening a one-way channel. Chen Cheng hasn't even officially started yet, and the one-way channel is already sending back such enthusiastic responses. When I get back, I'm going to set up a one-way channel too.]

This is feasible!

There was no wind in the hall, but the incense in the six bronze censers on the table was burning at the same time.

A voice came from the direction of the stone wall, indistinguishable by gender or distance, yet remarkably penetrating.

"The case from the first year of the Taichang reign has been filed. The verdict will be delivered after one incense stick has burned."

Words appeared on the stone wall.

Chen Cheng looked up at the table, then looked down at his desk.

A stack of paper had appeared on the table sometime during the printing process. The paper was rough-edged and slightly yellowed, with Song typeface printed on it using movable type. The characters were clear, but there were a few places where the ink was uneven, as if the pressure applied during printing was uneven.

On the first day of the eighth month of the first year of the Taichang reign, the emperor ascended the throne. The sky was clear and the air was fresh, and all the officials paid homage in accordance with the proper rites.

On August 11th, the Emperor fell ill. He summoned four imperial physicians, including Chen Xi, to examine him. The pulse diagnosis revealed a weak and rapid pulse, a red tongue with little coating, and hot palms. The imperial physicians recommended Buzhong Yiqi Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine formula), but the Emperor refused.

On August 29th, Li Kezhuo, an official of the Court of State Ceremonial, went to the Grand Secretariat, claiming to possess an elixir of immortality and wishing to present it to the Grand Secretariat. The Grand Secretary Fang Congzhe refused.

On August 30th, the Emperor summoned Fang Congzhe and others to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. The Emperor's face was flushed, and he said, "I have been unable to sleep for days, and my heart is filled with anxiety." As he spoke, Li Kezhuo again came to the palace gate requesting an audience. The Emperor asked who he was, and Congzhe answered truthfully. The Emperor ordered him to be brought in.

Li Kezhuo presented the emperor with a red pill, about the size of a bullet, red in color. The emperor examined it for a long time, then swallowed it with warm water.

After taking the medicine, the emperor said, "It feels warm, moist, and comfortable." He then thought of eating.

The emperor died at dawn the following day.

The above constitutes the complete statement of facts in this case.

Chen Cheng felt numb after reading it.

He could only understand the general outline of the entire classical Chinese text.

Judging from his clever mind, this challenge instance should require him to judge the case in his capacity as the Minister of Justice.

The problem is, he hasn't learned how to solve cases, has he? You can't just point at someone and say they're the murderer, can you? Shouldn't solving cases involve considering motive and the chain of evidence?
Damn it, this game might be a loss!

[Hahaha, the newbies really know how to have fun. Look at this contestant, his face is almost green. Wow, this is way more fun than me chopping people up with an axe.]

It's often said that the words of cultured people are like a deadly knife. When cultured people start to betray others, they can be truly ruthless.

[Tsk tsk tsk, this is boring. I haven't even gotten comfortable in my seat yet, and this solo dungeon is already over.]

The shadowy figures on the other five seats were rolling around, and Chen Cheng managed to discern their gloating from the darkness.

The Ming Dynasty historians who had been watching his live stream were practically spitting blood.

"The Red Pill Case! The most famous Red Pill Case in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taichang, Zhu Changluo, indulged in nightly revelry and fell ill after only ten days on the throne. Li Kezhuo seized the opportunity to offer him an elixir of immortality. Zhu Changluo took it and died, having reigned for only 30 days."

"What an easy question! It's so simple!!"

Seeing Chen Cheng looking lost in thought, he wished he could take Chen Cheng's place in the dungeon exam.

"Ugh, I'm so angry! Did his history teacher teach him PE?!"

A senior colonel standing behind him murmured, "It would be better if he were taught by a PE teacher. He takes PE class more seriously than history class. You can't have too many expectations of a science student."

The historian looked utterly bewildered: "Please tell me, were there any liberal arts students among these 300-plus soldiers?"

The staff member in charge of the background check: "No, dear."

Alright, alright, let's destroy each other together!
