Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

When the time for cultivation reached Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Wu Feng slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

A flash of golden light appeared in his eyes, and he let out a long breath, got up from the bed, and stretched his wrists.

The sky outside was already bright, and the morning light streamed in through the window.

He pushed open the door, walked out, stood in the middle of the courtyard, and took a deep breath.

The morning air carries the moisture of grass and trees, mixed with the smell of earth, and feels refreshing when inhaled.

He glanced at the other rooms; the doors were all still closed.

He walked up to the door of Li Qinglu's main room and knocked twice.

"Get up, come to the yard for breakfast."

There was a rustling sound coming from inside. Li Qinglu replied, "I know, Wu Lang."

He walked to the door of Mu Wanqing's room, knocked twice, and said, "Get up and have breakfast."

Mu Wanqing's voice came from inside, softly: "Yes, young master."

He didn't even need to knock on Azi's room; he could already hear the sound of ping-pong balls coming from inside, like someone was rummaging through something.

The door to Wu Xingyun's main room opened first. Wu Xingyun, dressed in white, stood in the doorway, glanced at him, and nodded.

Wu Feng turned and walked out of the courtyard, through the short corridor, and to the kitchen door.

The old cook was busy inside when he saw him and quickly bowed: "Good morning, Your Excellency."

"Deliver breakfast to the gazebo in the backyard, enough for five people."

The old cook nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, don't worry, Your Excellency, I'll deliver it right away."

Wu Feng turned around and walked back. When he returned to the courtyard, Li Qinglu had already come out of the house and was standing by the stone table talking to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing, dressed in plain clothes and still wearing a veil, stood there quietly.

Azi ran out of the side room and sat down in the pavilion.

Wu Xingyun was already sitting in the pavilion, leaning against a pillar, staring blankly at the trees in the courtyard.

Wu Feng walked over and sat down on the stone bench. Not long after, the old cook came in with two helpers carrying a tray.

Millet porridge, steamed buns, mantou (steamed bread), steamed dumplings, several side dishes, and boiled eggs filled the table.

The old cook bowed slightly: "Your Excellency, the dishes are ready."

Wu Feng nodded and picked up his chopsticks: "Eat."

Several people started eating. Halfway through the meal, Li Qinglu looked up at Wu Feng and asked, "Wu Lang, what are the plans for today?"

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk." Wu Feng took a bite of the steamed bun, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Li Qinglu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The group finished their breakfast quietly.

Wu Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a cloth, leaned back on the stone bench, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Li Qinglu and Mu Wanqing also put down their chopsticks, while Azi was still struggling with the last steamed bun, her mouth stuffed full.

Wu Xingyun had already finished eating, put the bowl and chopsticks aside, and leaned against the pillar with his eyes closed.

Several people were sitting and chatting over tea when hurried footsteps came from the courtyard gate.

A servant rushed in, bowing, and said, "Your Excellency, Registrar Zhang has arrived and is waiting in the front hall. He says he has important matters to report."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng nodded, put down his teacup, and stood up.

"You two continue your conversation." He glanced at Li Qinglu, turned and walked out of the pavilion, through the short corridor, and towards the front hall.

After passing through the corridor and around the screen wall, the door to the front hall was open, and several people could be seen standing inside.

Wu Feng went inside.

Zhang Heng stood in the middle of the front hall, holding a booklet in his hand, bowing slightly.

Standing next to him were six people, all of whom were young, in their twenties to thirties, dressed appropriately, some in silk robes and others in close-fitting clothes, and all looked to be in good spirits.

Upon seeing Wu Feng enter, Zhang Heng quickly came forward, bowing as he handed over the booklet.

"Your Excellency, the supplies from the Zhao and Li families have arrived. This is the inventory list; I've checked it, and everything is in order."

Wu Feng took the booklet and glanced at it.

Grain, silver, cloth, timber, and stone were all clearly categorized and listed, and the amounts were considerable.

He nodded, closed the booklet, and handed it to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng took it, turned to the side, pointed to the six people next to him, and began to introduce them.

"Your Excellency, each of these two families sent three people. Three from the Zhao family and three from the Li family."

He first pointed to the three men on the left wearing silk robes; two of them were older, around thirty years old, and one was younger, around twenty-five or twenty-six.

"These two are from the Zhao family. This one is Zhao Wenyuan, and this one is Zhao Wenbo. Both are learned men, well-versed in classics, history, philosophy, and literature, and skilled in handling government affairs. This one is Zhao Wu, an outstanding martial artist among the younger generation of the Zhao family. Not only is his martial arts skill good, but he is also well-versed in military strategy. He can serve the governor as a general in battle."

The three of them bowed simultaneously.

Zhang Heng then pointed to the three on the right.

"These three are from the Li family. This one is Li Wenyuan, and this one is Li Wenqing. They are both learned men, skilled in handling government affairs. This one is Li Zheng, the most outstanding of the younger generation of the Li family. He is highly skilled in martial arts and is also well-versed in military strategy. He can serve the governor."

The three men also bowed.

After listening, Wu Feng's gaze swept across the faces of the six people.

Zhao Wenyuan and Zhao Wenbo looked more composed, standing there with their backs straight and their eyes not darting around.

Zhao Wu was a tall man with broad shoulders and large hands. He looked like a martial arts expert and stood there like half an iron tower.

Both Li Wenyuan and Li Wenqing wore square scarves, looked refined, and held folding fans in their hands, displaying the demeanor of scholars.

Li Zheng was shorter than Zhao Wu, but looked more muscular, with the muscles in his arms making his sleeves bulge, and a short knife tucked into his waistband.

Wu Feng leaned back in his chair and raised his chin.

"Please introduce yourselves. Tell us what you can do."

Zhao Wenyuan was the first to step forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "I am Zhao Wenyuan. I have been studying since childhood and once served as a staff member of a county magistrate. I have handled county affairs for three years and have some knowledge of money, grain, household registration, taxes and other matters."

Zhao Wenbo stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "My name is Zhao Wenbo. I am skilled in documents and law. I worked as a clerk in the government office for two years and am familiar with all kinds of official document procedures."

Zhao Wu was the third to step forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said in a rough voice, "I am Zhao Wu. I have practiced martial arts for fifteen years and am now at the peak of a third-rate martial artist. I have read 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu and 'The Art of War' by Wu Qi, and I know how to arrange troops and train soldiers."

Li Wenyuan stepped forward, closed his folding fan, and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Li Wenyuan, skilled in diplomacy and persuasion. I have handled many foreign negotiations for my family and have never failed."

Li Wenqing stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Li Wenqing. I am skilled in internal affairs and coordination. I managed the family's affairs for three years and am adept at allocating resources and arranging personnel."

Li Zheng was the last to step forward. He clasped his hands in a salute and said nothing more than, "I am Li Zheng, a peak third-rate martial artist. I know how to train troops and fight battles."

After the six people finished introducing themselves, they stood there waiting for Wu Feng to speak.

After listening, Wu Feng nodded.

I have a general idea of ​​what's going on.

The four clerical staff members, Zhao Wenyuan, Zhao Wenbo, Li Wenyuan, and Li Wenqing, each had their own strengths.

Zhao Wenyuan was knowledgeable about money, grain, and household registration; Zhao Wenbo was familiar with documents and laws; Li Wenyuan was skilled in diplomacy and lobbying; and Li Wenqing was proficient in domestic affairs and coordination.

The two martial arts practitioners, Zhao Wu and Li Zheng, are both at the peak of the third-rate martial arts, well-versed in military strategy, and skilled in training troops.

Although their strength is not comparable to that of second-rate martial artists like Mu Lingyun and Xiong Batian, it is enough for training troops.

Wu Feng sat up straight, his mind stirred, and he opened the management interface of Yingzhou City, where a semi-transparent light screen unfolded before his eyes.

He found the faction section and filled in the names of the six people one by one.

Zhao Wenyuan, Zhao Wenbo, Li Wenyuan, Li Wenqing, Zhao Wu, and Li Zheng—one after another, a white light flashed across their bodies, and a line of small characters appeared above their heads: "Advisor to the Governor's Office" or "General of Yingzhou City."

The six people were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with surprise, and they quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"

"Your subordinate will certainly do his utmost!"

The voices were uneven, but the attitudes were all very respectful.

Wu Feng waved his hand, signaling them to quiet down.

He first looked at Zhao Wenyuan, Zhao Wenbo, Li Wenyuan, and Li Wenqing.

"The four of you will serve as staff members starting today. First, follow Zhang Heng to familiarize yourselves with the city's administration. As for your specific tasks, let Zhang Heng arrange them."

The four men nodded quickly and replied in unison, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Wu Feng then looked at Zhao Wu and Li Zheng.

"You two, go to the military camp."

Zhao Wu and Li Zheng clasped their hands in unison: "Yes, Your Excellency."

Wu Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "There are two military camps in the city now, one in the east and one in the west. Mu Lingyun is using the eastern camp and is currently training troops there. The western camp is still empty. You two will go there and be responsible for recruiting and training new soldiers."
