Chapter 55

~8 min read 1,568 words

Kublai Khan turned around, preparing to return to the hall, when suddenly, the Sky Screen shone with golden light!

Not a scene, not words, but a pure golden light, pouring down from the center of the Sky Screen, like a waterfall.

Kublai Khan looked back abruptly.

In the golden light, a line of ancient and solemn large characters appeared:

【In view of Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan's merit in unifying China and laying the foundation of the territory, specially bestowed upon him: 20 years of longevity, 3 years of favorable weather.】

The moment the characters appeared, Kublai Khan felt a warm current pour in from the top of his head, instantly flowing through his limbs and bones.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if he had become ten years younger, full of energy, refreshed.

He looked down at his hands; his skin seemed to have become smoother.

And what was even more magical was that he felt a pulse coming from the land under his feet.

That was the breathing of the mountains and seas, the joy of grass and trees, a sign of favorable weather and national peace.

"This... this is..." Kublai Khan muttered to himself.

On the Sky Screen, those bullet chats exploded again:

【Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang):??? There is also a reward?! Why?! I am not convinced!】

【Liu Bang (Han Gaozu): @Kublai Khan, share some longevity with me, I'll buy it from you!】

【Liu Che (Han Wu Di): 3 years of favorable weather... If my Mobei could also have favorable weather, the Xiongnu would have been wiped out long ago!】

【Li Shimin (Tang Taizong): Immortal blessing? This... this ranking actually has such divinity?】

【Zhao Kuangyin (Song Taizu): Wuwuwu, my Great Song also wants it! I also want favorable weather!】

【Zhu Yuanzhang (Ming Taizu): @Kublai Khan, congratulations. But this reward... is a bit interesting.】

【Zhu Di (Ming Chengzu): Old man, you say if we are ranked, will we also have rewards?】

【Aisin Gioro Xuanye (Kangxi Emperor): Immortal means, truly mysterious. @Kublai Khan, good fortune.】

【Aisin Gioro Hongli (Qianlong Emperor): @Kublai Khan, can I trade ten of my poems for one year of your longevity?】

【Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang):... I say it again, block this poetry writer.】

Kublai Khan looked at these bullet chats, looked at the golden characters gradually dissipating on the Sky Screen, and suddenly laughed loudly.

The laughter echoed in the night sky, startling the night birds resting under the palace eaves.

"Good! Good! Immortal blessing, Heaven blesses the Great Yuan!"

He raised his arms toward the night sky, toward the gradually dimming Sky Screen, and shouted loudly,

"I, thank the immortal for the grace!"

As the voice fell, the Sky Screen went completely dark, the galaxy dissipated, and the night sky returned to normal.

But Kublai Khan knew that some things were different.

He felt the surging vitality in his body, felt the vibrant life coming from the land under his feet.

20 years of longevity, 3 years of favorable weather... this was the immortal's recognition, the later generations' judgment, and even more, the proof of his, Kublai Khan's, life's work!

He turned around, facing the east, the direction where the sun was about to rise.

"Pass my decree."

His voice was loud, full of energy,

"Grant amnesty to the world, reduce taxes for three years! Abolish the four-class system, everyone is equal."

"Also, have the historians record tonight's events in detail, the appearance of the Sky Screen, the immortal's blessing, recorded in history books, passed down to later generations!"

"Yes!" The ministers knelt down, shouting "Long live."

Kublai Khan looked up at the whitening east, a smile on his lips.

This tenth place of the Greatest Emperor, he, Kublai Khan, is well-deserved.

Modern times, Qinghe Village.

Gu Shanhe sat in front of the computer, watching the emotional point count jumping crazily on the system panel, a smile also hooking the corner of his mouth.

【Emotional Points +10086】

【Emotional Points +23333】

【Emotional Points +66666】

【Emotional Points +99999】

【Emotional Points +188888】

The numbers kept climbing, finally settling on a dizzying number:

【Current Emotional Points: 12,457,821】

Twelve million four hundred fifty-seven thousand eight hundred twenty-one.

And it was still growing.

Gu Shanhe took a deep breath and clicked on the newly unlocked "Lucky Draw" interface.

On the interface was a huge turntable, divided into countless small grids,

Each grid had different icons and text: real estate, equity, skills, items, mysterious rewards...

In the center of the turntable was a golden button, on which was written:

【Consume 1 million emotional points, draw once】

Gu Shanhe currently had 12.45 million emotional points, enough for twelve draws.

He didn't hesitate and clicked the button directly.

The turntable began to spin rapidly, the pointer passing over one eye-catching reward after another: all-around physical attribute +10, cash 20 million...

Finally, the pointer slowly stopped, pointing to an icon: a book.

【Congratulations to the host, obtained skill: Photographic Memory】

【Skill Description: Permanent skill. After activation, the host will possess the ability of photographic memory; any text, image, sound, and other information, once contacted, will be permanently remembered and can be retrieved, analyzed, and reorganized at any time.】

Gu Shanhe's eyes lit up.

Photographic memory! This skill was simply tailor-made for him!

In the future, reading materials, editing videos, and even learning new knowledge would be twice as effective with half the effort!

"Continue drawing!"

The turntable spun again.

【Congratulations to the host, obtained item: Time Hourglass (one-time)】

【Item Description: After use, can briefly pause time around the host, duration 10 seconds. Cooldown 24 hours.】

【Congratulations to the host, obtained real-world asset: One floor of an office building on the Bund in Shanghai (property area 2000 square meters)】

【Asset Description: Located in the core area of the Bund in Shanghai, top-tier office building, current market value approximately 800 million RMB. Property documents have been automatically generated and stored in the system space; the host can extract them at any time.】

【Congratulations to the host, obtained special reward: Historical Figure Summoning Card (Trial Version)】

【Reward Description: Can randomly summon a historical figure (deceased) to descend into the real world, duration 24 hours. The summoned character retains memories and abilities from before death, but is absolutely loyal to the host. After 24 hours, the character will return to the original time and space, and relevant memories will be erased.】

Gu Shanhe's breathing stalled.

Historical figure summoning card?!

Although it was only a trial version, only 24 hours, this was too heaven-defying!

Summon whom? Qin Shi Huang? Han Wu Di? Tang Taizong? Or...

Gu Shanhe suppressed his excitement and continued drawing.

The remaining eight draws also yielded some real estate, equity, and skill books; although not as heaven-defying as the first few, they were also worth a lot.

After twelve draws, Gu Shanhe's asset list was enriched by a large margin.

He closed the lucky draw interface and opened the "Bullet Chat Interaction" panel.

On the panel were the bullet chat records sent by emperors of various dynasties during the Sky Screen broadcast, dense and numerous, with thousands of lines.

Gu Shanhe scanned it roughly; sure enough, Qin Shi Huang was the most irritable, Liu Bang the most slippery, Han Wu Di the most arrogant, Tang Taizong the most calm, Song Taizu the most prone to crying, Zhu Yuanzhang the most practical, and Qianlong Emperor... the most fond of writing poetry.

Gu Shanhe smiled, and suddenly a thought occurred to him.

He typed in the input box and clicked send.

The next second, the Sky Screen lit up again in the sky of all dynasties,

But this time there was no scene, only a line of golden, majestic characters spanning the horizon:

【Immortal's Decree: Bullet chat interaction must follow rules. No personal attacks, no foul language, no spamming. Violators will be muted for three days. Also, Qianlong Emperor, speak properly, don't write poetry.】

The moment the characters appeared, the emperors of all dynasties collectively petrified.

Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang): "... Im-Immortal?"

Liu Bang (Han Gaozu): "Immortal's decree? This... this ranking Sky Screen is actually an immortal's means?!"

Liu Che (Han Wu Di): "No spamming? What does that mean?"

Li Shimin (Tang Taizong): "The immortal has appeared... this... this..."

Zhao Kuangyin (Song Taizu): "Immortal! It's an immortal! Immortal, save me! My Great Song is about to finish!"

Zhu Yuanzhang (Ming Taizu): "@Qianlong, did you hear that? The immortal told you not to write poetry."

Zhu Di (Ming Chengzu): "Old man, this immortal... seems quite humorous?"

Aisin Gioro Xuanye (Kangxi Emperor): "Immortal's dharma decree, naturally must be obeyed. @Hongli, did you hear that? Stop writing poetry."

Aisin Gioro Hongli (Qianlong Emperor): "... Is my poetry not good?"

【Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang): Not good.】

【Liu Bang (Han Gaozu): Not good +1】

【Liu Che (Han Wu Di): Not good +2】

【Li Shimin (Tang Taizong): Not good +3】

【Zhao Kuangyin (Song Taizu): Not good +10086】

【Zhu Yuanzhang (Ming Taizu): @Qianlong, accept your fate, you are not cut out for writing poetry.】

【Zhu Di (Ming Chengzu): The old man is right.】

【Aisin Gioro Xuanye (Kangxi Emperor):... I don't have a grandson like you.】

Qianlong Emperor: "..."

He silently deleted another doggerel poem he had just typed up.

And at this moment, Gu Shanhe watched the emotional points on the system panel soar again and laughed out loud.

Sure enough, leading the rhythm was the best way to harvest emotional points.

Next, it was time to announce the ninth place.
