Chapter 140: 【Huaxia Integrity】The Shocking Blue Star, Alien Race Experience Card (6.8k combined)

~24 min read 4,641 words

On the game interface.

There is also the same 【Immersive Plot】 mode as in "World War II: Rise of the Empire".

And currently, this is the only button.

As Duan Yu clicks, a list pops up marked with various identities, but it is so dense that he doesn't know what to choose for a moment.

Duan Yu clicks on 【Scholar】.

Subsequently, thirty or forty choices pop up, including 【Cultivated Talent】, 【Recommended Man】, 【Presented Scholar】, 【Second Place】, and 【Third Place】.

【First Place】... all the way to 【Mountain Bandit Strategist】 and 【Rebel Leader】.

Duan Yu understands now, looking at those identities:

"So... this means after choosing an identity, you can also choose the detailed classification of that identity."

"Then there are more than a thousand types of identities."

"Just the scholar classification alone has thirty or forty professions; just this one identity classification alone would take years to play, right?"

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream room are also amazed; there are too many identity professions. At this rate, there will be plenty to play.

Looking at so many identities, Duan Yu notices the top right corner.

He clicks it, and a search box pops up.

Duan Yu directly inputs the two characters "Beggar Archer," and then the option for Beggar Archer pops up.

He clicks into it.

He discovers that this "Beggar Archer" option is actually a sub-option of commoner, and looking at the dense sub-options for commoner, there are even more than for scholar.

And next to "Beggar Archer" are options like "Vagrant," "Long-term Laborer," and even a "Slave" option.

Duan Yu clicks his tongue looking at these options: "Brothers, shall we try something else?"

"I feel like these options on the side are also quite challenging?"

"And there's even slave?"

"Is this game this open?!"

The friends in the live stream room listen, and think it makes sense; the options on the side seem more challenging.

Duan Yu sees this and directly initiates a poll in the live stream room.

Soon.

The "Vagrant" identity is chosen. Although there are many votes for "Slave," Duan Yu knows he is currently live streaming; if this "Slave" option has something weird and he gets banned, it wouldn't be worth it.

So, under the voting of the netizens in the live stream room.

Duan Yu chooses the "Vagrant" option, then the screen flashes, and the game begins.

And at this moment, Duan Yu is still saying in the live stream room:

"No big deal."

"Relying on my survival skills from Leningrad, even if I reach ancient times without a gun, I can still set traps and hunt or something; I definitely won't starve to death."

As he is speaking.

The screen lights up.

A scorching wave of heat surges through Duan Yu's entire body, and the air is filled with heatwaves and a foul smell of rot.

The sky is cloudless, and the huge sun shines down, stinging Duan Yu's eyes so much he can barely open them. Looking down at his surroundings, Duan Yu's heart suddenly turns cold.

As far as the eye can see, there is only endless yellow earth and flying sand and dust.

The whole world has no other colors, completely occupied by yellow sand, and the traces of cracked earth on the ground spread in all directions, with no end in sight.

Great drought!

This is the first word that pops into the minds of Duan Yu and the Blue Star friends in the live stream room.

And what makes Duan Yu's heart even colder is.

On this dry and cracked land, there are no plants, and a few withered trees stand alone by the roadside not far away, and if you look closely.

The bark on those few withered trees has been stripped clean from top to bottom.

Even worse.

Several vagrants leaning against the withered trees, truly unable to bear it, are actually hugging the withered trees and gnawing on them.

And on this road that doesn't know where it leads.

Countless people... or rather, corpses, are lying in twos and threes.

As for those who can stand up, they are walking forward like walking corpses, not knowing where they are going.

Duan Yu looks down at himself, wearing only coarse cloth clothes that can barely cover his vital parts, and the shoes on his feet seem to be made of some straw, already rotted beyond recognition.

Duan Yu is completely numb.

He can't help but want to slap himself; he should have just stuck with Beggar Archer, why choose Vagrant?

Is there any way to survive this?

Looking out, the land is barren for a thousand miles, and even the tree bark has been gnawed clean.

Hunting?

Where the hell is there any prey?

The tree bark has been gnawed clean.

Just how severe must this famine be?

Duan Yu takes a deep breath and says to the live stream room:

"That... I might have to take back what I just said."

"Is ancient Huaxia this difficult?"

"Or is the identity I chose too hard... I'll follow them for a bit and see if I can find something to eat."

Saying this, Duan Yu has no confidence.

Looking at the vagrant corpses lying everywhere, and those vagrants walking forward like walking corpses, if there were food... I'm afraid it would be even more tragic than Leningrad, right?

Fortunately, the identity assigned by the system keeps him energetic for the time being.

However, if he doesn't find food, I'm afraid he will soon be just like those vagrants.

He was hungry for so long in Leningrad, so he has plenty of right to speak on this.

It's just that it looks like he won't encounter any plot for a while.

If he had known, he would have chosen Beggar Archer; the place where Beggar Archers live should have people, choosing Vagrant is pure fleeing from disaster.

Duan Yu feels a faint regret, but there is nothing he can do.

He can only follow the vagrants in front and walk towards the north.

At Polar Star Company.

Zhao Ming watches Duan Yu's live stream room, raising the perspective in the background; at this time, half of the Huaxia land is a yellowish-brown color.

He doesn't know if Duan Yu can hold out until the royal capital ahead.

He exits the background data.

Zhao Ming checks other live stream rooms; at this time, other live stream rooms have also started based on the different identities they chose.

Some chose to become generals, some chose to become aliens, and some chose to become coachmen.

Shen Qinghan is also watching the screens of various live stream rooms in the office, and after watching for a while, she says:

"Is this a bit slow?"

"I see many live stream rooms haven't triggered any plot."

"This isn't attractive enough, right?"

Just as Shen Qinghan said, those who chose generals are commanding troops preparing for a great battle, and those who chose vagrants are walking aimlessly; how is this attractive?

Zhao Ming says with a smile:

"Don't rush."

"It's mainly to let them familiarize themselves with the game's gameplay, and after they are familiar with it, there will be an option to skip the plot."

"These streamers are randomly assigned to different dynasties and different dungeons."

"They are all carefully selected by the photon supercomputer, and not all plots are slow."

"In Fang Ming and Yu Feng's live stream rooms, the plot is about to start."

"It will definitely bring Blue Star a shock they have never felt before."

Shen Qinghan is a bit surprised:

"So confident?"

Shen Qinghan searches and opens Yu Feng's live stream room.

Zhao Ming smiles and says nothing.

Just like the lack of war, Blue Star, which lacks history, will definitely be shocked by the integrity of the ancient people who left their names in history when Huaxia's ancient history is thrown at them.

At this time.

In Yu Feng's live stream room.

He and Fang Ming are teamed up to start; he chose to be a guard, while Fang Ming chose to be a coachman under the urging of the live stream room, and they separated after starting.

They can only communicate in the room on the Sky Shark live streaming platform.

Fang Ming is still feeding the horses, and he is here... Yu Feng has a serious face, placing his hand on the sword at his waist, observing his surroundings.

He is guarding a house.

The other three corners also have guards on duty.

There are faint sounds of killing everywhere, and it's a bit chaotic.

Yu Feng tries his best to look serious.

After all, there are no firearms in ancient times, and if a real fight breaks out later, his close-quarters combat... can only be said to be passable.

Just as he is thinking.

Suddenly, a roar comes from the room behind him:

"How dare you!"

"Change it!!!"

The furious man's voice comes from inside the room, Yu Feng is startled, and the Blue Star friends in the live stream room are also taken aback, then curiously urge Yu Feng to peek.

Yu Feng is also not afraid of death; it's just a game anyway.

He feels like the plot has been triggered.

So, seeing that the guards in the other two corners aren't paying attention, he secretly approaches the window and looks at the situation inside through the crack.

Through Yu Feng's perspective, the Blue Star friends in the live stream room can also see.

Inside the room.

A man in dark clothes has a cold face, and the bronze sword in his hand is held against the white-bearded old man kneeling on the mat.

He says fiercely:

"Write! Died of illness!"

The white-haired old man sits upright on the mat, reaching out to pick up the broken bamboo slip and placing it aside.

Subsequently, under the man's cold gaze, the white-haired old man picks up an unwritten bamboo slip, lifts his brush, writes a few characters, and puts it down.

The cold man snorts coldly, then leans over to pick it up and reads:

"In the fifth month of summer, on the day of Yihai, Cui assassinated his ruler."

After reading, he is instantly furious, breaking the bamboo slip and throwing it on the ground:

"Didn't you hear me tell you to change it?!"

The sword tip approaches the old man's neck, drawing a deep bloodstain.

The white-haired old man looks at Cui, his expression unchanged, his voice firm:

"The historian records the facts directly, not changing a single word."

Boom!

Cui kicks the white-haired old man over, his voice roaring in fury:

"Write! Died of illness!"

The white-haired old man just glances at Cui and turns his head away. Cui's chest heaves, extremely angry:

"I told you to write!!!"

Stab—

The sharp sword in his hand stabs directly into the white-haired old man's chest, one sword after another, until the old man falls into a pool of blood, and the blood stains the scattered bamboo slips around.

"Let's see who else dares to write!!!"

Cui pants, his voice manic.

At this time.

A middle-aged man's voice suddenly comes from the doorway:

"Me!"

The guards there want to stop him, but are stopped by Cui raising his hand inside the room. He looks at the person coming and asks coldly:

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man is fearless:

"Third brother, Taishi Shu."

Cui's eyes twitch.

He watches Taishi Shu walk over slowly, kneel down beside the old man who fell in a pool of blood, and then pick up a brush to write something on a bamboo slip.

Cui walks over, his face as gloomy as water, and the precious sword in his hand swings out, cutting down the bamboo slip in Taishi Shu's hand:

"Your brother doesn't know the times? Are you looking for death too?!"

Taishi Shu looks up at Cui, then slowly pulls out another bamboo slip and lifts his brush to write.

Until he finishes writing.

He picks up the jade seal left by the white-haired old man and presses it onto the bamboo slip:

"The duty of a historian is to record facts and clarify right and wrong. Minister Cui assassinated the ruler, and the whole world knows it."

After saying this.

He places the bamboo slip on the table and closes his eyes, waiting for death.

Cui is furious, raising the precious sword in his hand to swing it. The sword light flashes, and blood spurts from Taishi Shu's neck onto the bamboo slip, and he slowly falls.

The blood also splashes onto Cui, and his blood-filled face twists like a ghost:

"I want to see if your pens are sharper, or my sword is sharper!"

At this time.

Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens, who were hiding in the corner outside the house and saw all this, are already stunned.

No?

Why is this?

Wouldn't it be fine to just write what he said?

A few characters in exchange for two lives, are they crazy?

Don't these ancient Huaxia people know how to be flexible?

The integrity of the ancient Huaxia people appeared intuitively on Blue Star for the first time, impacting every Blue Star netizen watching the video.

Blue Star's history after reconstruction is limited; they don't know what integrity is, nor do they know why the Taishi brothers did this, but they feel inexplicably shocked.

What are they insisting on?

Could a few characters really be more important than life?

Blue Star netizens are a bit confused.

However.

The scene in the live stream room hasn't ended yet.

Cui's eyes in the room are red and manic, and before he can finish venting, a figure appears at the doorway, and Cui looks up abruptly:

"Who is it?!"

A middle-aged man in a long robe, looking refined, walks in:

"Second brother, Taishi Zhong."

Cui walks up slowly, his cold eyes staring at Taishi Zhong:

"You want to write history?"

Taishi Zhong says:

"That's right."

Cui hears this, his eyes like torches:

"Rewrite it?"

Taishi Zhong nods:

"Naturally."

Cui sees this, his expression softens a bit, and he moves aside.

Taishi Zhong steps forward to the desk.

Looking at the corpses of his two brothers, a look of pain flashes in his eyes, then he firmly picks up the blank bamboo slip and brush, slowly writes a few characters, looks at the bamboo slip, and slowly reads out:

"In the fifth month of summer, on the day of Yihai, Cui assassinated his ruler."

After saying this, he throws the bamboo slip in his hand towards Cui, then closes his eyes without fear, waiting for death.

Cui, hit by the bamboo slip, is furious to the point of losing his mind:

"Your whole Taishi family is crazy!"

"You're crazy! I'm crazy too!!!"

The precious sword in his hand stabs into Taishi Zhong's body, again and again, the splashing blood dyes Cui's whole body red, and the clothes he wears are soaked with blood.

Thump!

Taishi Zhong's body falls to the ground.

Three people died one after another, just to not change a single word.

The Blue Star live stream room is already silent.

Many netizens are shocked beyond measure, and many historians watching this scene are even more excited. An old professor watching the live stream on a student's phone is even trembling with excitement:

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

"This is what a nation with history should look like!"

"This is the persistence that a nation with cultural heritage should have! This is something that countries with short histories don't have!"

"What is this game called?!"

"Quick!"

"Tell me!"

This old professor on Blue Star seems to have found something that Blue Star has always lacked from the demeanor displayed by the Taishi brothers in the live stream.

Or rather, something that nations with short histories do not possess.

Don't look at how advanced Blue Star's technology is now; its history is very short, so short that there is no concept of family and nation.

And at this time in the live stream room.

The scene is still continuing.

Yu Feng, as a top sniper, doesn't know how long he has been holding his breath, staring at the scene in the room.

At this time, Cui is about to go crazy, roaring:

"Let's see who else dares to write!!!"

His manic appearance, covered in blood, looks very creepy.

However.

A voice that is not afraid at all comes from the doorway:

"Me!"

Cui raises his blood-filled, ferocious face to look, and a young man walks over without fear:

"Fourth brother, Taishi Ji!"

The moment the voice rings out.

Just like Cui's dullness and disbelief, Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens' brains also "buzz," about to be blown open.

They... they?!

What is this for?!!!

Blue Star people naturally don't understand the integrity that Huaxia people have adhered to from ancient times to the present.

Under the shocked gaze of Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens.

Taishi Ji walks to the desk, pulls out a blank bamboo slip, lifts his brush to write, and then looks at the bamboo slip and slowly reads out:

"In the fifth month of summer, on the day of Yihai, Cui assassinated his ruler."

He puts down the bamboo slip filled with words, his expression fearless.

He closes his eyes, waiting for death!

Cui's chest heaves continuously:

"You! You!"

"Ah ah ah ah——!!!"

Clang!

The precious sword's cold light flashes.

Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens cannot bear to look... the sound of the precious sword hitting the desk comes.

On the other side.

Fang Ming, because he chose to be a coachman under the instigation of the friends in the live stream room.

So after entering the game, he directly started feeding the horses.

He chatted with the nearby NPC, but didn't learn any information.

He only knows his master's surname is Chen, named Chen Buzhan.

Just as he is feeding.

Suddenly, shouting comes from outside, and another servant NPC runs in, shouting loudly:

"Bad news! Bad news!"

"Cui is rebelling! The ruler is in danger!!!"

"Cui is rebelling!!!"

This shout startles Fang Ming and the Blue Star friends in the live stream room.

Cui?

Isn't this the plot from Yu Feng's side?

So it really is all connected?

He didn't trigger the plot here, so while feeding the horses, he is watching the live stream room on Yu Feng's side, and the friends in his live stream room also saw the scene of Cui killing the Taishi brothers one after another.

They also feel shocked.

Just didn't expect it to be connected?

But Cui has been assassinating the ruler for several days over there, why did the news only arrive here now? This distance is probably a bit far, right?

Hearing the servant's shout, the master of the house comes out.

A middle-aged man with a terrified face rushes out, holding a bowl and chopsticks, already trembling abnormally; it is the master of this house, Chen Buzhan:

"What?"

The servant sees Chen Buzhan come out and hurriedly shouts:

"Cui is rebelling, the ruler is in danger!"

Clatter!

The bowl and chopsticks in Chen Buzhan's hand fall to the ground in fright:

"How can this be?!"

His legs go weak and he collapses to the ground, a bit dazed. People around see this and want to help, but Chen Buzhan waves his hand dazed, reaching out to pick up the bowl and chopsticks on the ground, but they fall several times.

Seeing that he can't pick them up, Chen Buzhan doesn't bother anymore, but shouts in a daze:

"Quick! Prepare the carriage! Prepare the carriage!"

"I am going to save the ruler!!"

Fang Ming is watching the excitement, watching Chen Buzhan, who was scared like this just by a piece of news, and discusses it with the friends in the live stream room.

Suddenly, he is pushed by the servant nearby, and Fang Ming remembers he is a coachman.

He hurriedly packs up the carriage and horses and drives to the doorway.

And Chen Buzhan sees the carriage has arrived and runs over in a panic, wanting to get on, but seeing his hands and feet are weak from fright, he fails to get on several times.

Fang Ming's mouth twitches, and he can't help but give him a hand, saying involuntarily:

"You... why don't you not go?"

He looks like he has no combat power, probably not even as good as him; what can one person and one horse save?

And it's been several days since they died over there... going is just going in vain.

Not only does Fang Ming think so, but the Blue Star friends in the live stream room also laugh out loud.

【This guy doesn't want to go and show loyalty, right? Hilarious, the object of his loyalty has been dead for several days.】

【What expression do you think he'll have when he finds out the ruler is dead?】

【He has some courage, after all, no one else went.】

【Just finished watching Yu Feng's live stream room, this physique isn't enough for Cui to cut with one sword, right?】

【Exactly, his legs are weak, and he's still trying to save the ruler.】

However, regardless of how the Blue Star netizens guess and mock, Chen Buzhan, who has boarded the carriage and is holding a long sword with trembling hands, says firmly with a trace of tremor:

"Fear is my private feeling, dying for the ruler is my public duty! A gentleman does not harm public duty for private feelings!"

(Fear is my private feeling, dying for the ruler is my great righteousness. A gentleman will not harm public righteousness for private feelings.)

"Drive quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!"

Obviously, he doesn't know the ruler is dead yet, he's just afraid of being late.

Chen Buzhan's words are like a loud slap in the face to Fang Ming and the Blue Star netizens who were just mocking him.

Fang Ming's face turns red.

Compared to Chen Buzhan, he feels like a small person.

He doesn't dare to look at Chen Buzhan, hurriedly asks the servant nearby for directions, and then drives Chen Buzhan towards the royal capital.

At this time, the Blue Star netizens in the live stream room also fall silent.

This slap in the face... is really loud.

How could they have the nerve to mock someone for being cowardly just now? Some Blue Star netizens can't help but feel a bit ashamed.

And Fang Ming didn't actually drive for too long.

It's not too far from the royal capital; the reason it took several days for the news to arrive is because of the closed information in ancient times, and the city has already been sealed off.

When Fang Ming drove to the royal capital, there were already many confused commoners surrounding it.

And inside the city, the roar of war drums and some sounds of killing were still coming out.

Fang Ming sees this and can only drive to a place with fewer people to stop, turning around to call Chen Buzhan in the carriage, but he is startled as soon as he turns around.

Because Chen Buzhan behind him at this time is gripping the long sword tightly, the veins on his hands are bulging, and his fingernails, face, and lips are all blue and purple, with blood foam at his mouth and nose.

"What the hell?! What's the situation?"

"How did he die?!"

Fang Ming is startled; he's been driving with a corpse the whole way?

And how did he die?

This death posture is so weird?

This scene also startles the Blue Star friends in the live stream room.

However, soon a medical student friend tells Fang Ming to check the pupils and the position of the chest.

Soon this medical student Blue Star friend gives the answer.

【Face and fingernails are blue and purple, blood foam at the mouth and nose, blood accumulation in the chest; this situation should be death from heart rupture.】

【Generally, patients with heart disease only do this when they are under extreme stimulation or fear.】

【In other words, this non-player character named Chen Buzhan knew that saving the ruler meant death, but he still came to rescue him, and in the end, he was scared to death by himself.】

As the barrage floats by.

The live stream room is silent. In less than half an hour, the Huaxia ancient plot in the two live stream rooms brought an unprecedented impact to the hearts of Blue Star people.

They can't even find a suitable adjective to describe the behavior of the Taishi brothers and Chen Buzhan.

Because in Blue Star's current history, there has never been such a thing recorded... why is this?

The plot in Yu Feng and Fang Ming's live stream rooms quickly hit the Federation's hot search, rapidly triggering discussions among Blue Star netizens.

Many netizens even ran to the Polar Star official website and Federation headlines account, starting a screen-filling mode, asking Zhao Ming why this is?

At Polar Star Company.

In the office.

【Emotion Value +18411】

【Emotion Value +28441】

【Emotion Value +241...】

Watching the constantly popping emotion values, Zhao Ming's mouth curls up; it seems the effect is good. Just this plot alone has already locked in a large number of players.

Even Shen Qinghan in the office is shocked, looking up and asking:

"This... why are they doing this?"

Zhao Ming smiles, opens the Federation headline account, chooses to edit, and then publishes two characters, looking at Shen Qinghan and saying:

"This is the... 【Integrity】 that the Huaxia nation has had since ancient times."

"【Integrity】 is indescribable."

"You can slowly experience it in the game in the future."

Shen Qinghan is thoughtful, but she can be sure that this game will inevitably sweep Blue Star.

Because the impact brought by this so-called 【Integrity】 is far more shocking than the cruelty of war; this is the impact brought by Huaxia's historical heritage.

With the fermentation.

Many players who were not interested in history, after watching the plot video, were also shocked and ran over to see what was going on with this game.

And what Blue Star players don't know is.

The 【Huaxia History Series】 produced by Zhao Ming not only has real history, but also historical plots processed by romance, which look even more shocking.

Such as processed plots like the Three Kingdoms, etc.

So the shock brought later will definitely far exceed their understanding.

On the other side.

On the Sky Shark live streaming platform.

As other streamers also completed their daily tasks one after another, triggering the plot.

Currently, the most popular one has become the streamer Cheng Yu, who is experiencing the alien race.

Because Cheng Yu chose to be an alien race and chose to become a commanding marshal, so after familiarizing himself with the plot, he directly triggered the plot and is currently leading the army south.

Cheng Yu chose to substitute his body, so he is currently controlling the body of this commanding marshal.

At this time, Cheng Yu is riding on a precious horse that is shiny black all over, without a single stray hair, standing on the top of the mountain looking at the plains below, watching his own army attacking the city.

At this time.

A scout flies over:

"Report—"

The scout rides to the front, dismounts, and kneels on the ground:

"Report to the Marshal, the Song army has abandoned the city and fled south, and there are less than a thousand defenders in the city!"
