Chapter 63: Kryptonian Gold Player
The Eastern Xianbei leader, "Lord of the East", has been in a bad mood recently.
First, Goguryeo was destroyed, and the entire tribe was in fear; then, the Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion closed and sealed off all border markets, dealing a heavy blow to the Eastern Xianbei.
In the eyes of the Eastern adults, this was a sign of war.
Before the tribe could reach a conclusion on whether to fight or make peace, news came from the border that twelve tribal strongholds were destroyed by alien mercenaries overnight.
Not a blade of grass is left.
According to reports from spies, more mercenary groups are on their way to assemble.
At the same time, the Liaodong Army seemed to be gathering again, which frightened the entire eastern tribe so much that they turned pale and decided to negotiate peace without caring about the differences among the nobles within the tribe.
A little later,
Either they have to passively start a war, or they have to give up the pasture that they have occupied with great difficulty.
Neither is acceptable.
…
Two days later.
The envoys of the Eastern Xianbei arrived in Xiangping County, but they did not even see Qin Mo. The Chief Secretary Deng Mao met with him on his behalf and directly offered a price - the Eastern Xianbei would unconditionally submit to the Han Dynasty and pay tribute.
"Isn't your country going too far?" The Xianbei envoy was filled with shame and indignation.
"If you don't agree, then let's go to war!" Deng Mao was very tough after receiving Qin Mo's instruction. "My Liaodong army has been ready for battle. If we can't get it at the negotiation table, we will go and get it ourselves."
The Xianbei envoy froze in his tracks, not daring to speak harshly anymore. He said humiliatingly, "This matter is too serious. I will report it to the leader before I can give you a reply."
"Three days, you only have three days." Deng Mao said.
"Goodbye!" The Xianbei envoy left quickly.
In fact, the Eastern Xianbei had no choice at all.
While sending envoys, Lord Dongfang also tried to contact the western and central Xianbei tribes, hoping that the three major tribes could reunite and jointly fight against the oppression of the Liaodong Jiedushi.
But the three-foot-thick ice does not form in a day.
There has been discord among the three major tribes, and they have been fighting each other for a long time. How can they unite just like that?
The Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion was too pressuring.
In desperation, Lord Dongfang could only agree to the harsh conditions proposed by Qin Mo and pay tribute to the Han Dynasty; at the same time, he was very tactful and sent 3,000 war horses and 20,000 sheep to the Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion.
Qin Mo accepted it with a smile.
Speaking of which, the Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion was able to destroy Goguryeo and suppress the Xianbei in the east. In addition to the powerful Liaodong Army, the role played by the players was also irreplaceable.
The Liaodong Army alone is not enough.
It can be said that Qin Mo has maximized the value of players and is a model of win-win cooperation between lords and mercenary groups.
…
Xiangping County, the headquarters of the Huangsha Mercenary Group.
A week has passed since Wei Tianli entered "Honghuang".
"Win a local battle, +1 legend, +1000 experience points."
This was a reminder that Wei Tianli, the leader .
"Consume 200 experience points to practice the "Body Strengthening Fist" to the first level."
"Consume 500 experience points to practice the "Body Strengthening Fist" to the second level."
With just one battle, without even taking part in the battle himself, Wei Tianli broke through from a newbie in body building to a master in tendon training, which was equivalent to the efforts of the original owner Qin Mo for three or four months.
After the opening of the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, powerful figures such as lords and mercenary leaders, relying on the power of the team, can upgrade several times faster than when they were in the tribe.
As long as you are willing to spend money, the upgrade speed will not be slow.
The first batch of pioneering players worked hard for a year and finally opened up a gap with the newcomers, but in the hands of paying players like Wei Tianli, that gap could be narrowed in just one month.
You can even come from behind and win.
There is no room for reasoning in this matter. The world is big, but krypton gold is the biggest.
Otherwise, why do they say “Money makes the world go round”?
Even in the world of immortals, heroes, and monsters, money is one of the most effective passes.
"There's nothing new about it. It's just a pile of data." Wei Tianli himself was very disappointed and didn't see anything special about "Honghuang" at all.
However, his initial 9 points of physique made many people in the mercenary group envious.
Bored Wei Tianli quit "Honghuang" and came out of the game cabin. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He had decided not to continue playing.
Boring.
During the past few days of playing "Honghuang", Wei Tianli always felt a little weak.
Going downstairs, today is Saturday, and the private health doctor came to give him a routine health check-up, the first item of which was to measure his blood pressure.
"Huh?" Doctor Zhao was surprised.
"What's wrong?" Wei Tianli shuddered, thinking that something had happened to him.
"Mr. Wei, it's good. Your systolic blood pressure has dropped by 5 mmHg and your diastolic blood pressure has dropped by 0.5 mmHg. You are no longer in the category of severe hypertension," said Dr. Zhao.
"Really?" Wei Tianli was also surprised.
"Mr. Wei, I'll draw some more blood and take it back for testing. The results will be out tomorrow," said Doctor Zhao.
Wei Tianli nodded.
…
The next day, Dr. Zhao came to the patient personally with the test results.
"Mr. Wei, congratulations! After testing, not only has your blood pressure dropped, but your blood lipids, cholesterol and other indicators are also improving. It's amazing." Doctor Zhao was a little excited.
"What?"
Wei Tianli couldn't believe it.
Doctor Zhao asked tentatively, "Has Mr. Wei received any special treatment recently?" He vaguely knew that Wei Tianli was funding a medical institution that was developing methods to prolong life.
Hence this conjecture.
"Yeah." Wei Tianli responded vaguely, truly shocked in his heart.
He knew that NMN had not yet been successfully developed, and he had not received any special treatment recently. The only exception was playing "Honghuang" for a week.
Could it really be related to that?
"Congratulations, Mr. Wei. However, this case still needs long-term observation to avoid recurrence." Seeing that Wei Tianli seemed a little absent-minded, Dr. Zhao gave him a few reminders and left tactfully.
Wei Tianli fell into deep thought, his expression changing constantly.
What a coincidence.
The seal placed on the player seals his cultivation.
Because most of them are young people, although the fullness of qi and blood will indirectly affect the growth of physical qualities such as strength and explosive power, it is not very obvious, and no one associates it with "Honghuang".
No one would be as extravagant as Wei Tianli, who has a physical examination every week. Many people probably never think about physical examinations except for the routine ones organized by the company.
Wei Tianli is different.
He may be the only elderly "combat" player in "Honghuang".
After body training, the abundant Qi and blood did not just add to Wei Tianli's already weak physical functions, but rather "made up for the deficiency" and repaired the disease.
This was then discovered.
With all these coincidences, plus what Xu Lang had previously revealed about the unusual attention of Taoism and ancient martial arts to "Hong Huang", it was only natural for Wei Tianli to associate it with "Hong Huang".
"We need to verify it again."
Wei Tianli was cautious and did not rush to draw conclusions.
…
Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he received the documents from the Eastern Xianbei expressing his allegiance and tribute. He thought that the frequent reports of victory from the Han Dynasty since Emperor Xian of Han ascended the throne were a good omen.
Qin Mo's achievements are naturally praised in great detail.
The imperial court immediately issued an edict to grant Qin Mo the title of Marquis of Youzhou, raising his title further. His status in Youzhou completely surpassed that of Youzhou Governor Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was very angry.
This is a later story.
For Qin Mo, this time he destroyed Goguryeo and subdued the Eastern Xianbei, and with Dong Zhuo's deliberate propaganda, he became another famous general of the Han Dynasty who guarded the border for the empire.
His fame is rising rapidly.
At this point, the traces of the Yellow Turban on Qin Mo's body were finally washed away. He now had the capital to compete with other families for talent, and his status in the Han Dynasty was also rising.
Perhaps this is called soft power.
