Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Young friend Bai, I wonder if your world has any intention of forming a contract with me?"

Bai Zhantang: "A contract?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "The contract is... In short, with the chat group as witness, the interests of your world are also guaranteed."

Bai Zhantang: "Well, I need to discuss this with everyone. Actually, if possible, I just want to live a peaceful life and don't want to do anything to change the world."

Hu Yifei: "Perhaps your thinking is a bit naive."

Bai Zhantang: "What do you mean? Is there some other enemy that might disrupt the peace on our side?"

Hu Yifei: "What year is it where you are?"

Bai Zhantang: "The third year of the Yongli reign."

Zhu Youjian: "The third year of Yongli? Isn't that the reign title of the Southern Ming? But looking at Lao Bai's side, it doesn't seem like a time of great upheaval and the Qing army entering the pass."

Su Xiaoxiao: "This is meaningless. I remember Lao Bai's story is set in an alternate history, so many things don't match up. They used the Nanming era name, but the emperor was Wanli. And for example..."

The theft of the Prince Xin's tomb at Taiping Mountain—Emperor Chongzhen, are you very familiar with this?

Zhu Youjian: "Because I was the Prince of Xin before I became emperor! So, my tomb was robbed?"

Zhu ignored it: "Serves you right!"

Zhu Youjian: "Can't you say something nice?"

Zhu ignored it: "No!"

Zhu Youjian: "That's not right. There were quite a few Prince Xin in history."

Su Xiaoxiao: "But, the only thing that the current dynasty would attach such importance to must be the tomb of Prince Xin, right?"

Bai Zhantang: "What are you talking about? What Prince Xin? What Qing army? I don't quite understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Go and read the History of Ming and you'll know."

Bai Zhantang: Okay.

Bai Zhantang: "No way? The Qing army entered the pass?! How could this happen! The Ming Dynasty was so strong!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Your world is fictional, so it might not happen. Don't worry too much."

Bai Zhantang: "How can I not worry about something like this? I'm logging off now; I need to discuss this with everyone. This matter can't be taken lightly. If we invite the army to enter the pass, judging by their momentum, it will be a huge..."

"I might not even be able to enjoy my old age at home."

Tongfu Inn.

"Something happened!"

Bai Zhantang suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.

"What is it now?" Tong Xiangyu rolled her eyes. "Don't scare the guests."

Li Dazui was speechless: "Boss, we're closed now, where are we going to get customers?"

"You talk too much, or I'll dock your pay." Tong Xiangyu was speechless. "Old Bai, what exactly happened?"

"I already told you about the chat group thing, right?"

Tong Xiangyu nodded: "Yes. What is it now?"

At this point, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Could it be some delicious food again? You know what, that glowing food looks really tempting."

Li Dazui's eyes lit up: "Old Bai, you haven't forgotten me, have you? We're good buddies."

"And us!"

Lu Xiucai and Guo Furong also arrived upon hearing the commotion, their faces filled with anticipation.

Bai Zhantang was speechless: "What are you guys thinking? All you ever do is eat!"

“Old Bai, food is the most important thing for people. There’s nothing wrong with us thinking about food every day, right?” Lu Xiucai said, shaking his head.

Bai Zhantang: "There's nothing wrong with it. But we're not talking about food today."

"cut!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to disperse.

Bai Zhantang said, "This matter concerns the entire world; it's very important."

Guo Furong was surprised: "This concerns the world. When did you start caring about world affairs, Lao Bai? The officials in the court are very shrewd. It's not our place to worry about world affairs."

"If I could, I wouldn't want to either." Bai Zhantang sighed, and with a thought, he exchanged the History of Ming Dynasty and handed it to everyone.

"what is this?"

"History of Ming Dynasty, Lao Bai, you have some nerve, daring to write history?"

Tong Xiangyu was startled and said, "Keep your voices down. If we're discovered, none of us will be able to escape."

After carefully observing for a while and confirming that there were no outsiders, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Dazui quickly ran to close the door.

“This is naturally not the history I wrote, but the history of the Ming Dynasty from another world,” Bai Zhantang said softly. “Take a look and see if my concerns are justified.”

Lu Xiucai nodded and began to peruse the history books.

He is the most educated person here, so naturally he should be the one to make the decisions.

"The Yongli era?"

"Prince Xin, Zhu Youjian, ascended the throne?"

"Qing army enters the pass?"

The further he flipped through the pages, the more shocked Lü Xiucai became.

"You mean you're worried that Qing troops might also invade our territory?"

Bai Zhantang nodded: "Yes. I originally thought we could just live a peaceful and uneventful life. But now I realize, that won't work. If the Qing army enters the pass, will we still be able to enjoy our old age?"

Li Dazui, Guo Furong, and others also came closer. Upon seeing the description in the book, their faces turned pale, and they shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing this.

"This won't do, we have to think of something." Li Dazui looked at Bai Zhantang, "Old Bai, if the Qing army really enters the pass, won't our peaceful lives be over?"

Tong Xiangyu's teeth chattered: "Old Bai, are these Qing soldiers really that brutal?"

"I don't know about our world. But other worlds are just like what's written in the books; they really did slaughter a thousand miles of corpses in the Central Plains." Bai Zhantang's expression was serious, and a chill ran down his spine.

Tong Xiangyu: "What are we going to do then! If they really get through, won't we all end up dead?"

"Yes," Lu Xiucai sighed, "By then, where will there be any peaceful place left? Our days will probably be numbered."

Bai Zhantang said, "The immortals in the group have all said that it may not happen."

...Please give me flowers.

Lu Xiucai shook his head: "Old Bai, we should consider defeat before victory. We should always think of the worst-case scenario to prevent problems before they arise. Otherwise, it will be too late to prepare once something happens."

The.

Tong Xiangyu nodded: "The scholar is right. There's no way to switch to Buddhism at the last minute."

"Old Bai, you can't just abandon us!" Li Dazui said. "Aren't you in contact with the immortals now? Think of something!"

Bai Zhantang: "I've asked. There are two solutions. One is to give the world contract to an immortal and let him govern this world; the other is that we also cultivate, and then..."

"When the Qing army enters the pass, will they still be able to defeat us?"

"But that's a lot of points," Tong Xiangyu hesitated.

...

When money is mentioned, she starts calculating in her mind.

Li Dazui: "Shopkeeper, that's the secret to immortality! You really want to give it up?"

"Easy for you to say. In the end, it'll be Old Bai who has to pay back the points." Tong Xiangyu scoffed. "You just need to wait to cultivate. You don't have to pay back any points."

Li Dazui: "Shopkeeper, I can also help grow spiritual herbs. Old Bai said that as long as you have a grotto-heaven, you can grow spiritual herbs to exchange for points. Then you'll have a steady stream of money."

It is. ”

"This is clearly a good thing, why did you take so long to think about it?"

Tong Xiangyu sneered: "You're still young. Shouldn't you think things through before doing something big? You're so impatient!"

Looking at Bai Zhantang, he asked, "Old Bai, what do you think we should do?"

"I think we can implement both at the same time," Bai Zhantang pondered. "Since we don't have the ability to govern the world, why not give the world contract to the immortals? That way, we can sit back and wait to reap the rewards."

Firstly, it benefits everyone; secondly, it brings good fortune to all people; and thirdly, it allows us to accumulate points for the contract, which can be used to purchase cultivation techniques, benefiting us all.

"Is that contracted immortal reliable?" Although Tong Xiangyu is usually stingy, she is actually a warm-hearted person.

She would definitely not agree to doing so if it would plunge the world into misery.

"That immortal being is none other than the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think that's plausible?"

"The Great Ming Emperor Taizu?"
