Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

Qin Shaoyu was lounging by the desk, acting coquettishly and asking Yi Canglan not to sew her mouth shut. But a short while later, Ling Ye and Shen Yubai also entered the Imperial Study.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

They must have chosen their own clothes. Ling Ye wore a black palace dress embroidered with silver cranes, looking aloof and noble; Shen Yubai wore a light blue palace dress covered with a layer of gauze, looking like a pure fairy.

The design of this instance is very detailed; it even automatically adjusts the male player's short hair to long hair, making him look like an ancient person, which gives it a unique flavor.

"oh."

Yi Zanglan let out a soft sigh. She stepped forward and examined both Ling Ye and Shen Yubai before turning to Su Su.

"They look good, and they are indeed quite attractive."

Su Su: "Your Majesty is right, hehe."

Qin Shaoyu poked his head out from behind him with a mournful expression: "Your Majesty, you didn't praise me just now. I looked in the mirror before I came and I think I'm not bad-looking."

Su Su pulled Qin Shaoyu away and whispered her advice: "Qin Junshi, you may not know this, but His Majesty prefers quiet men who are elegant and refined. You must not act too flamboyant."

"...Thank you for reminding me. I suddenly remembered Matsuko. Is Matsuko also in the harem? Could His Majesty have already made her Empress?"

"You mean Physician Du?"

"Oh, he's an imperial physician? That's wonderful."

Just then, members from various factions, including Juniper, arrived at the Imperial Study.

As if they had planned it all along, the group bowed at a 90-degree angle and shouted slogans as soon as they entered.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"

"Your Majesty is blessed with boundless fortune! Long live the Emperor!"

Speechless, Yi Zanglan said, "Fine, don't stand up, all of you bend over."

"Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler; there must be a reason why you have instructed us to do this!" Tang Yunxi said righteously and solemnly. "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you to the death. The future of the Feng Kingdom, spanning thousands of years, depends on you!"

"..." Yan Zhao turned his head expressionlessly, "It still comes down to the Imperial Advisor who knows how to please His Majesty."

"Not at all, not at all. I can't compare to the Prime Minister's vast wisdom and ability to share His Majesty's burdens."

Jiang Ling sighed beside her, seemingly whispering to Wu Ying, but in reality, her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Alas, we martial artists are different from these civil officials. We can't learn those flowery words. We only have a heart full of passion and are willing to serve His Majesty."

Wu Ying nodded: "That's true."

"Imperial Physician Du, you are indeed an imperial physician, aren't you?" Wang Mingyue glanced at the medicine box Du Songzi was carrying and asked earnestly, "I heard that you became the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital at such a young age, thanks to His Majesty's great favor. His Majesty is so fond of you, so why are you so devoted to medicine and unwilling to enter the harem to serve the emperor?"

Du Songzi was shocked: "Where did you hear all this from?!"

"It was Chief Steward Li who told me this on the way here."

"When you're in the palace all the time, you're bound to hear some gossip," Li Siqi said with a slight smile. "After all, Steward Su and I have served His Majesty for many years, so we should at least have some understanding of His Majesty's thoughts and preferences."

Jiang Ling asked curiously, "What else do you know?"

"...There's nothing more to understand about him."

The speaker was Yi Zanglan. She had been enduring this and that for half a day, and now that she could no longer tolerate it, she no longer needed to endure it.

"While it's true that we should respect the characters according to the rules, I think a little respect is enough. If you continue to show such boundless respect, what will come even faster than the acting points given by the system is my fist."

"Wow! Your Majesty, you are truly the Son of Heaven! Your fist is the Dragon Fist! Back then, I dreamt of observing the celestial phenomena and saw you transform into a dragon with a single punch, moving the mountains and rivers back to fill the cracks..."

Before Tang Yunxi could finish speaking, she looked up and saw Yi Zanglan striding towards her. Suddenly, she felt a tightness around the back of her neck and was dragged to a corner by this true emperor.

"Excellent, Grand Master. I hereby order you to face the wall in meditation. You are not to turn around until I tell you to."

"Waaaaah, Your Majesty..."

Jiang Ling sighed, "As the saying goes, both thunder and rain are blessings from Heaven. His Majesty's reward to you is a reward, and his punishment to you is also a reward."

Yi Zanglan glanced over with a half-smile: "You're right, my dear minister. Then I'll reward you as well."

"..."

Half a minute later, Jiang Ling and Tang Yunxi stood together in the corner.

In fact, in this team competition, all the dungeons were customized according to the actual situation of each team, and the character settings were different.

The viewers in the live stream were very happy. Regardless of whether it was a task or not, it seemed that everyone preferred watching role-playing because it was novel, interesting, and easy to get immersed in.

Is anyone watching the Black Wind Stronghold livestream? I really want to discuss with someone which of the three women in the harem is the best match for Emperor Lan? (This only applies to the dungeon storyline)

[It must be Ling Junshi, the son of a wise ruler and a military family. Of course, I must admit, Qin Junshi is quite charming.]

[Hilarious! Don't try to insert your own bias, okay? It's already set in the plot: Emperor Lan is in love with Shen Junshi. How could those two possibly compete?]

[So if that's your logic, then Emperor Lan truly loves Physician Du, and his relationship with Lady Shen is nothing more than a literary substitute.]

[Emperor Lan, listen to me! Male allure will hinder your expansionist ambitions. Shall we take your Grand Chancellor, Grand Preceptor, and Grand General to conquer the four corners of the earth? Indulging in the pleasures of women will never end well!]

[Sigh, things are more interesting on Lan Di's side. I just came from Lang Taosha's live stream, and Yin Canglang is beating up her team members again.]

Why say "again"?

[It's very simple. If you watch the Langtaosha team's live stream for a while, you'll find that at least 70% of the time, Yin Canglang is beating up his teammates.]

[It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. I suggest everyone watch the streams of the Bad Species team; it's basically all the players beating up the captain.]

……

……

After a thoroughly enjoyable farce, threatened by Yi Zanglan's iron fist, the members slightly toned down their enthusiasm for role-playing and began to focus on serious matters.

Wang Mingyue unrolled the scroll she carried with her and laid it on the ground for everyone to see.

"This is the item I start with; I suspect it's the monster encyclopedia from the rules."

The scroll stretched from one end of the imperial study to the other, its paper thick and heavy, like a yellowed carpet.

"So long?" Yan Zhao frowned and counted. "There are ten pieces in total, but they're pieced together."

Seven of the ten paintings are still blank and not yet displayed; only three are currently visible.

Moreover, these three paintings are not very complete, only showing a portion of them, serving as location clues.

Yi Zanglan called out, "Susu, Siqi, you two come and study this."

After all, currently only these two people in the team know the complete map of the Imperial City.

"Yes, sir!"

To prepare thoroughly, Su Su spent the entire half-day looking at the map, afraid of failing when she needed it; Li Siqi did the same, having memorized most of the map, needing to match the details to specifics, and had basically formed a general outline in her mind.

The two of them carefully examined the three pictures, head to head, and after a while, they each came to their own conclusions.
