People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

No matter how you look at it, chaotic times are never a good thing.

"But being 'correct' isn't necessarily a good thing, right?"

Fujimaru Kyoya understood that what was considered "correct" was not necessarily a good thing.

When faced with the "trolley problem," most people would fall into a moral dilemma in pursuit of what they consider "correct." However, the "trolley problem" was never a problem for Fujimaru Kyoya.

The very existence of the "trolley problem" is a mistake, and trying to find the "correct" within a mistake is a premise that even third-rate science fiction wouldn't employ.

If anyone asks Fujimaru Kyoya about the "tram problem," the answer they'll definitely get is a punch from Fujimaru Kyoya.

"Yes, 'correct' is just 'correct'."

As Zhuge Liang muttered these words, Lu Su's idea of ​​dividing the world into three kingdoms began to cross his mind, and he also considered replacing one of the three kingdoms with Liu Bei.

Sometimes I really envy you; you seem to be fearless.

"is it?"

“I’m scared. I’m afraid that even if I do my best, I won’t be able to change anything. If that’s the case, I might as well not change anything in the first place.”

In recent years, Zhuge Liang began to make calculations again, and even though the results were not satisfactory each time, he did not stop this time.

"Failure? Are we two special?"

Fujimaru Kyouya asked.

"Do not."

Zhuge Liang understood that, amidst the tides of history, they were merely fleeting figures in the vast universe, and there was no reason for them to be considered special.

"So, are our lives more valuable than others'?"

"Do not."

Zhuge Liang never considered himself a noble person, nor did he believe that the lives of princes and nobles were more valuable than those of ordinary people.

"That settles it. There are only two of us. If we save two people, we've already broken even. From now on, we'll make a profit no matter what. It's a sure-fire way to make money. Why can't we do it?"

Fujimaru Kyoya and Zhuge Liang were never special people. Although they came into this world with the ability to change history, they were not noble in themselves.

"Yes, it's a sure thing, no risk at all."

Zhuge Liang did not try to hide the map; instead, he hung the map of the declining Han territory in front of him and finally made up his mind.

Four hundred years of glory and vicissitudes have ultimately come to an end...

"Right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing in the end."

Author's note on the product launch and some replies

As the title says, my book will be available for purchase tomorrow, but the exact time I can release the first chapter after its release depends on what time I get up. I am very grateful to the readers who have been following my progress despite the recent hiatus. Thank you all very much.

Then I turned on my fan value, and today I received a message that Hedgehog Cat has received a lot of reports about this book.

In reality, everyone is here to read books. If you encounter a book you don't like, you will definitely criticize it and argue with it. But how many people will actually report it?

Are you saying my book is too explicit? Or are you saying it promotes reactionary ideas?

I think before I did this, people wouldn't have reported me, right? Especially since I hadn't even listed it yet and all the content was free, I told everyone not to rush to give me gifts, and there was no intention of scamming me.

There seems to be a group of people stirring up trouble right now. I've banned quite a few small accounts that only commented on my book. Of course, there were also some people who were mistakenly banned. These people have gradually contacted me, and I've unbanned them. There are still people who were mistakenly banned who can come to me to get their accounts unbanned. I wrote about this in the group before.

The issue of character design is something that can be discussed. You raised the issue of character design collapse, and I gave an explanation, but you were not satisfied. Today, I also revised the chapter. There was only one night in between, mainly to adjust my mood and delete those posts that kept stirring up trouble.

There are also some people whose posts I deleted, but I didn't ban them. I just hope everyone can calm down and not be used as pawns by those with ulterior motives.

I hope that one day people will stop reading my books because I can't write good stories, rather than leaving with resentment due to a group of people's hype.

I haven't set the fan value high and will lower it depending on the situation. In addition to the basic two updates tomorrow, I still have 26 chapters left from the bounty chapters. I will make those up during the release period.

I hope everyone will remain calm and judge the quality of a book based on the work itself.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Thank you.

Chapter Sixty: Is "Benevolence and Righteousness" ever hypocritical?

Zhuge Liang and Fujimaru Kyoya enjoyed a peaceful and quiet life in seclusion, but that did not mean that time had stopped.

Liu Bei was not having an easy time during this period. Fujimaru Kyoya had helped him obtain the status of an imperial uncle, which instantly brought him into the sights of various warlords.

However, he failed to adjust his mindset.

Having gained Xuzhou in the name of benevolence and righteousness, he was forced to face Cao Cao's army. At this critical juncture, Fujimaru Kyouya once again disguised himself as "Zhao Yun" to come and help, barely holding off Cao Cao's attack and buying time for Lü Bu to launch a surprise attack, forcing Cao Cao to return to his hometown.

After that, Fujimaru Kyoya kept running between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Although he was a general under Liu Bei, he could not be found for a long time and seemed to obey orders but not proclamations. However, he always arrived at the critical moment when Liu Bei was in danger.

It was for this reason that he was never able to obtain an official position in Liu Bei's army, and instead felt like Liu Bei's personal bodyguard.

After Liu Bei stabilized the situation in Xuzhou, Fujimaru Yasushi returned to Jingzhou and lived a rural life with Zhuge Liang. Meanwhile, Lü Bu was no match for Cao Cao and, after being taken in by Liu Bei, seized Xuzhou and could only survive in Xiaopei.

Zhuge Liang had anticipated this, and he specifically instructed Fujimaru Kyouya not to help Liu Bei. Just as he said, what he wanted was not only Liu Bei, but also Liu Bang.

After this incident, Liu Bei indeed grew a lot. He joined forces with Cao Cao to drive Lü Bu into a desperate situation. Even after Lü Bu was transformed into a mechanical Lü Bu by Chen Gong, he still defeated him with the help of the Tiger and Leopard Camp and countless fierce generals.

He was even able to persuade Cao Cao to make him decide to kill Lü Bu through words.

Only at this point did Liu Bei finally qualify to be worthy of Zhuge Liang's assistance, but unfortunately, he was not the protagonist who followed.

The main players at the Battle of Guandu were Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. At this time, Liu Bei was merely in a state of seeking refuge with Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao also fell, where could he go?

"Third brother, what did Master Kongming say in his letter?"

Liu Bei was exhausted, both physically and mentally. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he and his brothers had been running around trying to restore the Han Dynasty, but now the world was becoming more and more chaotic.

The imperial relatives and nobles each occupied their own territories and became kings, while the other feudal lords harbored rebellious intentions.

With Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Ma Teng of Xiliang, Cao Cao of Xuchang, and at most Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan who had fled, the world was in complete chaos.

How should such a Han dynasty be supported?

"Brother, the letter said... Liu Biao of Jingzhou is seriously ill and will not live much longer, we can..."

"Don't say anymore."

If Liu Biao had no heirs, then it would be understandable for Liu Bei, as a member of the imperial family, to take over his territory. However, Liu Biao had sons, so how could he seize another's property?

"Brother, we still need a base for development, and Jingzhou is really..."

Even Guan Yu couldn't help but offer his advice.

Over the years, they have sought refuge with countless people, but none of them were of any use. So they might as well establish their own territory and become one of the feudal lords.

"My refusal of Jingzhou is not out of womanly compassion, but rather because it is a test from Master Kongming, and I cannot let him down."

Although Liu Bei still had a sense of righteousness after the incident with Lü Bu, he knew that he could not put that righteousness above the lives of his brothers.

His two brothers were both incredibly brave and could have become prominent figures if they had followed a warlord like Cao Cao. However, they were now living a precarious life with him.

"test?"

The two were puzzled. Even if it was a test, it should have been to see if Liu Bei had the courage to take Jingzhou. Why wasn't Zhuge Liang testing Liu Bei by taking Jingzhou?

"Second brother, third brother, what do we have left besides the title of royal relatives?"

Liu Bei asked with a hint of self-deprecation.

"At this point, all we have left is 'benevolence and righteousness.' If I were to seize Jingzhou for the sake of the world, that image of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness would crumble instantly, and I would never have the chance to contend for the world again."

This meaning isn't profound; it was something Zhuge Liang deliberately wanted Liu Bei to see, to make Liu Bei make a choice.

In Liu Bei's view, the question of whether Jingzhou or Zhuge Liang was more important was the final hurdle in deciding whether Zhuge Liang would join Liu Bei's cause.

Even if those around him didn't understand, Liu Bei really had no intention of taking Jingzhou. So what would be the price?

At the same time that Liu Biao died, Cao Cao's army approached Jingzhou. Liu Biao's son, Liu Cong, surrendered without informing Liu Bei, leaving Liu Bei to face Cao Cao's army alone.

Escape became the only option.

Considering the massacre that Cao Cao carried out when he attacked Xuzhou, Liu Bei had no choice but to flee with the people, even abandoning his own wife for the sake of them.

……

"You made Liu Bei make a choice."

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at the vast and mighty fleeing procession. The speed of these people's march was no match for Cao Cao's most elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"He possesses both the benevolence to lead people across the river and the ruthlessness to abandon his wife and children; he is indeed a man capable of great things."

After his discussion with Fujimaru Kyoya that night, Zhuge Liang had actually made up his mind to come out of seclusion; he just lacked an opportunity.

At present, Cao Cao seems to be in an unparalleled position after winning the Battle of Guandu, but Guo Jia has died of illness, Cao Cao's ambitions are beginning to clash with Xun Yu's ideals, and Jia Xu is like a donkey that won't budge unless whipped.

This was the turning point from prosperity to decline, and also the best time for him to return to public life.

"I will set up formations along the way to slow down Cao Cao's main force's pursuit. The rest is up to you."

Zhuge Liang looked at Fujimaru Kyoya; this dangerous mission could only be entrusted to his friend.

Liu Bei treated him as a national hero, so he couldn't possibly let Liu Bei's wife die in vain; he would at least bring the child out.

"As expected, I always end up doing such dangerous things."

Fujimaru Kyoya sighed, but didn't say much. After all, it's easier to choose between fighting a bunch of muscle-bound brutes and outwitting a group of cunning strategists.

"Be careful. If anything happens to you, who will I ask for my share of the money?"

Zhuge Liang immediately recalled that when they got married, this shameless guy really didn't give them any money as a wedding gift. So he could only get his money back when the other party got married.

Although this guy has shown no intention of getting married for many years, who knows when he might suddenly realize it?

"Marriage? I'm not stupid. If I get married, you'll definitely come and freeload off me."

Fujimaru Kyoya shook his head. It wasn't that he couldn't afford to contribute, but who throughout history has ever gotten the benefits that Zhuge Liang had?

He does seem quite interested in taking a share.

"If you want to drink my wedding wine, then... how about in the next life?"

Fujimaru Kyoya said this, then rode away, leaving Zhuge Liang alone to seriously ponder how to get his share of the money back in his next life.
