Global Games: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

Chapter 99 Time Acceleration

Red Moon Society headquarters: "In Japan today, although it seems like a chaotic war, there is actually a growing trend of the world being divided into two."

"In the west, Hojo Masanobu, who supports the imperial court, is the leader, while in the east, Kujo Yorinao, who is using the slogan of loyalty to the emperor, is the leader."

Inside a Japanese-style room, two men and a woman were in front of a map, analyzing the current situation of the instance.

They are the Red Moon Society members recruited for this instance.

Besides the three of them, Chen Zhizhi from the Red Moon Society had also arrived at the instance, but her mission was different from theirs, so they split up.

As you can tell from the name of the instance, the core event of this instance will definitely take place in Kyoto.

Currently, the only known plot information among all factions is that Matsudaira Shigeaki presented the bronze tablet to the Ming Emperor and is on his way back with a group of Imperial Guards.

"Hey, my fingers are responding."

Suddenly, the woman among the three took out a wooden box, opened it, and inside was a withered, black, and thin ancestral finger.

Nowadays, the Red Moon Society is simultaneously seeking opportunities to cultivate fingers in real life and recycling fingers in the game.

There is a mutual sensing between fingers, although the sensing is vague, it is still useful for determining the general direction.

"The direction of the finger is... Ying Shui."

"Boss, should we go straight over there and look for an opportunity?"

"No need to rush. Let's finish the main quest first, and then send someone to Ying Shui to check the situation and confirm who the finger is on."

The leader, an experienced player, felt that with the dungeon recently reset, player activity was high and the situation complex, making it not a good time to make a move.

The other two immediately agreed with his idea.

At the same moment, Mo Lan led twenty-four elite Imperial Guards onto the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship bound for the Japanese archipelago.

To avoid the flood season, under Lu Bing's orders, the Embroidered Uniform Guard only took one day to requisition enough sailors and two warships from the navy.

At this moment, Matsudaira Shigeaki's heart was in his throat.

He thought that after being thrown out of the palace by the Ming emperor, he would have no choice but to return to the Japanese court in disgrace.

Unexpectedly, he was immediately taken to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and told that they had to verify his identity before they could consider sending troops.

So he became the one who led the way for the Imperial Guards.

Well, Matsudaira Shigeaki felt that he had completed half of his mission.

Look, although the Ming emperor didn't send troops, he did send a team of Imperial Guards to go back with him!

In today's world, who doesn't know the formidable reputation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

After the ship sailed out of the harbor, Matsudaira Shigeaki, like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, marveled at the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty's navy and went to Mo Lan's house to ask for an audience.

"Come in."

Matsudaira Shigeaki entered the room and bowed respectfully: "Lord Chiju, our journey will take about five days. During this time, I would like to ask you something..."

He was a little nervous.

"Tell me about it." Mo Lan, who was behind the desk, was passing the time with a novel in her hand.

Matsudaira Shigeaki then spoke, "As you know, I came to the Ming Dynasty on the orders of the Japanese imperial court."

"After returning, I wonder if you would be interested in taking up residence in the capital? If you are willing, we will certainly provide all support for your and the Embroidered Uniform Guard's operations."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan put down her novel and looked up at him.

With just one glance, Matsudaira Shigeaki nervously lowered his head: "Please consider this, sir..."

To be honest, he was very afraid of Mo Lan.

This black-haired, blue-eyed boy's eyes seemed to see right through people.

Snapped!

Mo Lan gently tossed aside the novel and stood up unhurriedly: "You want me to help you restrain Hojo Masanobu? Your Japanese court certainly has a good plan, daring to scheme against the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Matsudaira Shigeaki's heart skipped a beat, and he almost wet himself in fright. He quickly lowered his head and said, "No, no..."

Through intelligence from various sources and Matsudaira Shigeaki's description, Mo Lan has gained some understanding of the current power dynamics in Japan.

The current Japanese court is controlled by Hojo Masanobu, who is eager to restore the glory of the shogunate, but the royalists under him are not willing to be mere figureheads.

They wanted to wait until Hojo Masanobu and Kujo Yorinao were both weakened before taking the opportunity to reclaim power from the imperial court.

Therefore, Matsudaira Shigeaki and his ministers wanted to use the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to achieve this goal.

As long as the Embroidered Uniform Guard is stationed in Kyoto, even if only temporarily, the royalists will have the confidence to challenge Hojo Masanobu.

It's like introducing a third party to break the balance in a deadlock, allowing the ministers of the Japanese court to sit at the negotiating table.

"If you want me to help you keep things under control, all that empty talk won't do. You can't make the decisions yourself. Wait until we get to Yingshui, then let the old guys behind you think about it again."

After saying that, Mo Lan sat back down in her chair and picked up her novel again.

Matsudaira Shigeaki was rebuffed and had no choice but to leave meekly, sighing inwardly.

I thought Mo Lan looked young and inexperienced, but I didn't expect her to see through my little scheme so quickly.

well....

[Game of Fate: All factions are in position, this instance is locked, and other players will not be able to join midway]

[Time acceleration is about to begin in the instance; countdown: 10 seconds.]

"Huh?" Mo Lan was a little surprised when he heard the prompt. He thought he would be on the ship for four or five days.

"But this is good too, it saves time."

Since the instance time was out of sync with real time, Mo Lan didn't want to waste too much time on a boring sea voyage.

"But what kind of time acceleration is this?"

Mo Lan was curious, so she went up to the deck.

As the countdown of the game of fate ended, he saw the sun in the sky begin to set in the west at a visible speed.

And it's still accelerating.

Accelerate, accelerate!

For a moment, the sky was like a painting, with the sun and moon rising in the east and setting in the west, and trillions of stars carrying long trails, falling onto the distant eclipse line.

Mo Lan suddenly understood what Van Gogh felt back then; perhaps only a madman could see this scene.

Wait until the sun returns to its original position.

Mo Lan turned around, and the Imperial Guards on the ship had already assembled. Led by Ji Yunting and two others, they saluted him with their swords raised.

"Commander-in-Chief! We're about to enter the harbor!"

Mo Lan took a deep breath and raised her hand: "All personnel on alert! Prepare to enter port!"

"yes!"

[The game of fate: time acceleration has ended, and your quest guidance has been updated.]

[Mission Guide: Due to a leak of information from the Japanese Imperial Court, you will be pursued by various forces on your way to Kyoto.]

Hojo Masanobu was worried that your deaths would displease the Ming Emperor, so he dispatched a samurai unit to meet you at the Yingshui port.

Next, we will arrive in Kyoto alive.

In the misty harbor of Yingshui, two Ming Dynasty warships slowly sailed in, making the fishing boats beside them look like small rafts.

Matsudaira Shigeaki's men stood at the bow of the ship and shouted in the local dialect, "The Ming treasure ship has entered the harbor! No living beings are allowed to approach, or they will be executed!"

"I repeat, keep out of the way of strangers! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

"Idiots, can't these lowly people understand human language? Get out of my way!"

Amid the noise, the fishermen in the harbor quickly moved away.

Before long, Mo Lan and his party set foot on the land of Ying Shui Kingdom.

Meanwhile, a unit of warriors had been waiting for some time outside the port.

They carried the family banner representing the Hojo clan, numbering about thirty people. The general leading them squinted slightly as he looked at the Ming Dynasty treasure ship and the group of Imperial Guards, and couldn't help but feel envious.

If only he had such good warships and men.

In fact, the existence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard alone demonstrates just how wealthy and powerful the Ming Dynasty was.

Just to test the authenticity of the Longevity Cave, Lu Bing directly dispatched twenty-four elite Imperial Guards.

These people are truly skilled.

Compared to the Ming Dynasty, the samurai sent by Hojo Masanobu to provide support were of varying danger levels, generally two levels lower than Mo Lan's Imperial Guards, and there were even ordinary people mixed in to make up the numbers.

Pure and simple line-filling baby army.

That's understandable, though, since the enemy wouldn't send their elite troops to help; they'd be lucky to get a small band of bandits to carry the flag.

It should be noted that Ying Shui Kingdom is currently under the control of the Hojo clan, and no matter how bold other forces are, they would not dare to send troops to intercept and kill them.
