Global Games: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

Chapter 98 Immortal Kyoto

"Chief Commander, Ji Yunting, and the other two have arrived."

A captain from the Northern Garrison reported from outside Mo Lan's house.

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan, who was behind the desk, yawned and put down the various intelligence and documents about the Japanese archipelago in her hand: "Let them in."

Ji Yunting and the other two then entered the office.

They bowed respectfully to Mo Lan, saying, "We pay our respects to Commander Qianhu!"

"Get up." Mo Lan waved her hand.

Ji Yunting and the other two slowly raised their heads.

To be honest, because they belonged to different factions, Ji Yunting and the other two had never met Mo Lan before; they only knew that such a person existed.

In those days, leaders' headshots against a blue background were not published, so they naturally had no way of knowing what Mo Lan looked like.

Tonight is their first meeting.

Ji Yunting's first impression of this black-haired, blue-eyed boy was that he was far too young.

Forgive him for being just a vulgar brute; I can't think of a better adjective.

But truly, he had never seen anyone more handsome than the commander standing before him.

Even those former noble ladies and stunning dancers are far inferior to the Lord Qianhu in appearance, not even a tenth as beautiful.

And then there's the aura—that inherent arrogance and confidence that no one can imitate.

In particular, Mo Lan's eyes, as clear and blue as the sky, seemed to possess a unique magic that made it impossible to look away.

"Do you know why I specifically called out your three names?"

Mo Lan leaned against the desk, resting her chin on her hand, and slowly spoke to Ji Yunting and the other two.

Ji Yunting finally snapped out of his shock, then knelt on one knee and replied to Mo Lan, "Forgive my ignorance, but please speak frankly, Commander!"

Upon seeing this, Qi Xiu and Fang Huai Ren also knelt on one knee: "Please speak frankly, Commander!"

It's no wonder they were nervous, because this was truly the first time they had encountered something so big.

If they complete this mission well, they really might have a chance to rise above their circumstances and achieve great success.

However, they also recognized the risks involved.

Putting aside the fact that Japan is currently engulfed in war, just consider the existence of the Longevity Cave.

If they fail to find it, and the Emperor Wanshou blames them, Mo Lan might be fine, but their flying fish robes would be lost.

Mo Lan chuckled softly at this moment.

Ji Yunting and the other two felt their hearts leap into their throats.

They were afraid that Mo Lan had brought the three of them, who had no connections, to be used as scapegoats.

If that's the case, they probably won't even have the right to refuse, because the other party is a favorite of Lord Lu Bing.

Mo Lan stood up from her chair: "Alright, all of you, stand up. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I didn't ask you to take the blame."

He dismissed the guards at the door and told them to close it, then took out a box and tossed it to Ji Yunting: "Open it and take a look."

Ji Yunting opened the box, and inside lay a pieced-together bronze slab diagram.

The two people next to them immediately came over.

Is the rumor true?

Ji Yunting's mind exploded with thoughts.

He immediately thought of what happened at the morning court meeting, because the security work for Matsudaira Shigeaki was exactly what the three brothers were responsible for.

Mo Lan nodded: "The second stone slab comes from the now-extinct Yuan Dynasty. Now that the two slabs are joined together, we must check whether it is real or fake."

"I called out your three names because there were no better candidates than you. I don't want to bring a bunch of burdens with me."

""

"Of course, I won't force you. If you're not willing to take this gamble with me, then go back now and pretend you didn't see anything."

If Ji Yunting still hesitated before Mo Lan took out the two combined stone slabs, then as the stone slabs were placed in front of him...

Ji Yunting and the other two were completely smitten.

They all knew that if the Longevity Cave was real, then this would be a truly great achievement!

They didn't even need to bring anything back; all they needed to do was find the cave and then bring the news back to the court.

At that time, the Emperor of Longevity will be overjoyed, and they will naturally receive many rewards.

"Well, have you made up your mind?"

Mo Lan took three steps to stand in front of Ji Yunting.

Ji Yunting exchanged a glance with his second and third brothers, and finally made a decision: "We three brothers are willing to serve under Commander Qianhu!"

"I am at your service, Commander!"

Qi Xiu and Fang Huai Ren spoke in unison.

"very good...!"

Mo Lan smiled with satisfaction and patted Ji Yunting on the shoulder: "Go back and get ready. The flood season is coming soon, so we have to set off tomorrow and get to Japan as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

Ji Yunting and the other two returned the box to Mo Lan before turning to leave.

Walking on the blue brick and stone road of Beizhenfusi, their steps were filled with excitement. The three of them looked at each other.

Everyone felt this was a huge gamble.

If you win the bet, you'll rise to great heights and enjoy wealth and honor in an instant.

If you lose the bet...

at the same time.

Japan, Kyoto:

Fujino Seiran stood on the rooftop, gazing at the faintly reddened moon in the sky, and couldn't help but frown.

He was directly recruited by the game of fate.

Good news, I'm home.

Bad news, I'm not going home.

Kyoto during the Warring States period was like a fallen noblewoman being repeatedly abused and ravaged by the samurai class.

Everywhere you look, you see homeless people, prostitutes, and children.

The body lay dead by the roadside, unattended for a week.

In this world, Fujino Seiran is a subordinate of Hojo Masanobu, who has conquered Kyoto and the Kyoyama region and is known as the Kamui Shogun.

To put it simply, the Hojo clan is now the last straw the Japanese court is clinging to.

However, Hojo Masanobu was not a royalist. He supported the imperial court but wanted to use the court's name to openly annex other forces and restore the glory of the shogunate.

His decision to send Matsudaira Shigeaki to the Ming Dynasty was also partly based on his own calculations.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called glory of the shogunate, in layman's terms, refers to the samurai class's control of the imperial court after unifying Japan.

Furthermore, after completing the unification, these samurai would usually request the emperor to appoint them as "Sei-i Taishogun" (General Who Subdues the Barbarians).

This is the title that all Japanese samurai dream of, and it is also the nominal highest military leader of Japan.

"Multiverse, completely different historical developments, all messed up, it's such a hassle." Fujino Seiran plopped down on the roof, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

He looked at his task.

[Instance: Undying Kyoto.]

[Danger Level: LV5.0]

Completeness: 100%

[Mission Guide: The story has not yet unfolded. You are free to move around and wait for the story to begin.]

[Your identity: Subordinate to Hojo Masanobu.]

"I have absolutely no clue whatsoever."

Just as Fujino Seiran was getting frustrated, his task panel suddenly flashed and refreshed.

[Mission Guide: Led by Matsudaira Shigeaki, a contingent of Imperial Guards from afar is about to set foot on the Japanese archipelago.]

[Because of a leak by a court official, various forces in Japan now covet the bronze tablet that records the secret of the Longevity Cave and are plotting to intercept and kill it in the Kingdom of Yingshui.]

[You will be dispatched by Hojo Masanobu to Osui Province to meet Matsudaira Shigeaki and the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guard.]

"Finally, I have work to do."

Fujino Seiran immediately stood up, a smile instantly spreading across his face.

Besides Fujino Seiran, another force was recruited into the "Ancestor World".

That is the Red Moon Society.
