~9 min read 1,678 words

Golden light burst forth, and a voice resounded through the world:

【The sky screen producer, Mr. Gu, helps Shi Kefa defend the city—】

【Meteorite heavenly fire!】

【Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!】

The next second, the sky suddenly turned red.

A huge fireball, dragging a long tail of flame, whistled down from the clouds, heading straight for the Qing army camp!

Boom!!!

The fireball smashed into the Qing army formation, exploding with fire.

Countless Qing soldiers were swallowed by the flames, and their screams resounded through the sky.

Immediately after, thunder clouds rolled in the sky, and countless lightning bolts struck down, each one accurately hitting the Qing generals.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Duoduo's banner was split in two, and Duoduo himself was hit by thunder and fire, falling off his horse with a scream.

The 100,000-strong army instantly collapsed.

On the Yangzhou city wall, everyone was stunned.

Shi Kefa widened his eyes, looking at the Qing army camp in the distance with fire soaring into the sky, looking at those Qing soldiers fleeing in all directions, his lips trembling, unable to speak.

A soldier knelt down: "Heavenly fire! It's heavenly fire!"

Another soldier knelt down: "The immortal has manifested!"

Whoosh, everyone on the city wall knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the sky screen.

Shi Kefa also knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed three times to the sky screen:

"Shi Kefa, kowtows to thank Immortal Gu for saving all the people in Yangzhou City!"

His voice was trembling.

Behind him, the four thousand local braves shouted in unison: "Thank you, Immortal Gu!"

Inside Yangzhou City, countless people also knelt down, kowtowing to the sky screen.

"Thank you, Immortal Gu!"

"Thank you, Immortal Gu!"

The crowd's shouts were like a tide, resounding through the sky.

……

All dynasties were in dead silence.

Qin Dynasty plane.

Ying Zheng watched the scene of fire soaring into the sky on the sky screen and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Meteorite heavenly fire... Nine Heavens Divine Thunder..."

Li Si's voice trembled: "Your Majesty, this is a true immortal's method. With a wave of his hand, 100,000 troops are turned into ashes."

Meng Tian muttered: "If this were used on the battlefield..."

He couldn't go on.

That kind of power was simply not something human power could contend with.

Han Dynasty plane.

Liu Che took a deep breath: "Wei Qing, Qubing."

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing bowed together: "I am here."

Liu Che said in a deep voice: "Remember this day. Remember, there are immortals in this world. This immortal protects the loyal ministers of Huaxia."

Wei Qing nodded solemnly: "I will remember."

Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky screen, and became curious about the Mr. Gu who made the list.

Fang Xuanling said softly: "Your Majesty, who do you think this Immortal Gu is?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"No matter who he is, just remember one thing—he protects Huaxia. He protects the loyal ministers and good generals of our Huaxia."

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head: "Then if we also make the list, can we get rewards?"

Li Shimin looked at him without speaking.

But his eyes already explained everything.

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Good! Good! Blow it up well! Blow that group of Qing troops into ashes!"

Empress Ma pulled his sleeve: "Chongba, don't be too excited..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared: "Can I not be excited? Look, that's the loyal minister of our Great Ming! That Immortal Gu is protecting the loyal ministers of our Great Ming!"

He turned to look at the civil and military officials, saying loudly:

"Remember! In the future, no matter who makes the list, as long as they are loyal ministers of our Great Ming, we will respect them! Worship them!"

Xu Da, Lan Yu, and others bowed together:

"We obey the decree!"

Ming Dynasty, Yongle plane.

Zhu Di watched the fire in the sky screen and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhu Zhanji said in a low voice: "Grandfather, do you think... this Immortal Master is particularly powerful?"

Zhu Di looked down at him: "Then do you think he is powerful?"

Zhu Zhanji thought seriously: "I think he is particularly powerful. More powerful than anyone else."

Zhu Di nodded: "Remember, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must remember today."

"Remember, there are people in this world protecting Huaxia, protecting the backbone of our Huaxia."

Zhu Zhanji nodded heavily: "I will remember."

Qing Dynasty, Qianlong plane.

Qianlong was paralyzed on the ground, trembling all over.

He watched the meteorite heavenly fire on the sky screen, watched the nine heavens divine thunder, watched the 100,000 Qing troops instantly collapse, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of all strength.

Heshen knelt beside him, trembling:

"Immortal, Immortal, he is really angry..."

Qianlong's lips moved, unable to say a complete sentence.

He only had one thought in his heart—

He must not make the list.

Those who make the list are all against the Great Qing.

Han people who make the list all got rewards.

But if he makes the list...

No, impossible.

He is the Emperor of the Great Qing, he is the Old Man of Ten Perfection, he is...

Qianlong didn't dare to think further.

……

In the twenty-square-meter rented room.

Gu Shanhe leaned back in his chair, happily looking at the system panel.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 110,000 emotion points!】

【Current emotion point balance: 200,000 points!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an extra reward: Physique +5!】

Gu Shanhe felt his whole body heat up, a warm current flowing from his dantian to his limbs and bones.

He stood up, clenched his fists, and felt full of strength.

"System, what is my physique now?"

【Returning to the host, your current physique: 11 points (adult 8 points)】

Gu Shanhe's eyes lit up: "In other words, am I stronger than an ordinary adult now?"

【Yes. Your physical strength, endurance, and recovery ability all exceed ordinary people.】

Gu Shanhe giggled, walked around the room twice, feeling light, and didn't even pant after climbing five floors.

"Okay, keep working."

He sat back in front of the computer and opened the system mall.

Weapons and armor: 10 emotion points per set.

Rice: 1 emotion point per catty.

Gu Shanhe thought for a while and started exchanging:

【Exchange for 2,000 sets of weapons and armor, consuming 20,000 emotion points】

【Exchange for 30,000 catties of rice, consuming 30,000 emotion points】

【Exchange successful! Current emotion point balance: 150,000 points】

"System, project these rewards to Shi Kefa."

【Ding! The host's instruction has been received, rewards are being issued—】

After issuing the rewards, Gu Shanhe leaned back in his chair.

……

On the sky screen, golden light condensed again.

A loud voice resounded:

【The sky screen producer, Mr. Gu, rewards the 9th place on the Huaxia Hero List, Shi Kefa—】

【2,000 sets of weapons and armor!】

【30,000 catties of rice!】

Two beams of light drifted down from the sky screen and landed in Yangzhou City.

The light dissipated, and weapons and armor piled up like mountains appeared in front of everyone, with bags of rice stacked higher than the city wall beside them.

Shi Kefa was stunned.

The defending soldiers were stunned.

Immediately after, everyone knelt down again, kowtowing to the sky screen:

"Thank you, Immortal Gu!"

"Thank you, Immortal Gu!"

Shi Kefa's eyes were filled with tears, his voice choked:

"Immortal Gu's great kindness, Shi Kefa will never forget! Our Yangzhou army and people will never forget!"

People from all dynasties watched this scene, their eyes red with envy.

2,000 sets of weapons and armor, 30,000 catties of rice, just giving it away like that.

Qin Dynasty plane.

Meng Tian's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, look at those armors, the workmanship is better than our Great Qin's!"

Ying Zheng gave an "um," his gaze deep.

He was thinking, if he could make the list, what reward could he get?

Han Dynasty plane.

Huo Qubing couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, do you think... can I make the list?"

Liu Che looked at him and smiled: "Why, do you want a reward?"

Huo Qubing scratched his head: "I don't want a reward, I just..."

Wei Qing said on the side: "Qubing's temper, he must want to compare himself with those heroes."

Huo Qubing giggled.

Tang Dynasty plane.

Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands: "Goodness, 2,000 sets of armor, 30,000 catties of grain... if this were given to us, how many people could we arm?"

Yuchi Gong said in a muffled voice: "Give it to you? Can you raise horses?"

Cheng Yaojin stared: "I can't raise them, but I can ride them!"

Li Shimin smiled: "Okay, stop arguing. Keep watching."

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Good! Good! Our Great Ming people should get rewards!"

He turned to look at Xu Da:

"Xu Da, tell me, if the military generals of our Great Ming make the list, what rewards can they get?"

Xu Da thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I don't know. But it definitely won't be little."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his eyes narrowing.

He started to ponder which people in the Great Ming could make the list.

Liu Bowen? Xu Da? Chang Yuchun? Li Wenzhong?

No, this list is "Top Ten Heroes of Huaxia," it shouldn't just be people from the Great Ming.

But no matter who it is, as long as they can make the list, it's a face-saver for the Great Ming!

People from all dynasties were stretching their necks, waiting for the revelation of the eighth place.

……

In the rented room.

Gu Shanhe checked the time, 12:00 noon.

He thought for a while and decided to wait a little longer.

Let the ancients discuss more and save more emotion points.

On the computer screen, the system panel was jumping:

【Current emotion point income rate: continuing to grow...】

【Estimated emotion points for tomorrow: 300,000+】

Gu Shanhe grinned.
