Chapter 2

In an alternate world, Blue Star, Xia Kingdom,

A simple one-bedroom apartment,

Liu Bei, a newcomer to this alternate world, lay on his bed and let out a sigh,

"Transmigration is one thing, but why did I end up in a world with depleted energy, reduced grain production, and a deteriorating climate? How miserable!"

【Ding! The National Destiny Game is about to begin selecting contestants!】

The voice of the World Will simultaneously appeared in the minds of everyone across the globe,

【Major countries worldwide will randomly select three contestants to participate in the National Destiny Game; the contestants' performance in the game is tied to their nation's destiny.】

【This game will be broadcast live simultaneously on various platforms, and everyone can watch the contestants' performance.】

【Note: For every contestant who dies, the corresponding nation's national destiny will decrease by one-sixth. National destiny includes, but is not limited to, public health, grain production, total energy reserves, natural disasters, weapon stockpiles, etc.】

【Special Note: If a contestant dies in the game, they will truly die!】

【Now beginning the selection of contestants!】

【Xia Kingdom's first contestant, Bai Yuekui!】

Information on Bai Yuekui quickly appeared on major platforms,

"Holy crap, Xia Kingdom hit the jackpot; it's actually Miss Bai Yuekui!"

"A genius girl with skilled combat techniques—beautiful and cool!"

"The perfect combination of beauty and wisdom? I'm envious!"

"If I were selected, I'd spend every day with her and surely fall in love!"

【Xia Kingdom's second contestant, Hua Mulan!】

"A military combat champion!"

"An iron-blooded female general, heroic and spirited; she is proficient in leading troops into battle and individual combat alike!"

"The key is that she's also beautiful. I seriously suspect the World Will is a relative of the Xia Kingdom!"

"Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan are both so top-tier. I hope the next one isn't me—I'm just a guy with an eight-pack!"

"It must be me!"

The World Will continued to sound,

【Ding, Xia Kingdom's third contestant, and also the captain for this team, Liu Bei!】

【Profile: Deep otaku, nothing else!】

The entire nation was shocked,

"What the hell is this Liu Bei?!"

"Loser! An otaku? And he's the captain!"

"Haha, Xia Kingdom is finished! Our captain is Rogers!" a netizen from the neighboring Beautiful Country came over to visit and show off!

"Our captain is Miyamoto Musashi, a master of the sword!" the Dwarf Country also joined in the fun.

"We have King Baahubali, a tough guy who can kill an old ox with one punch!" the India Country also came to show off!

【Ding, congratulations on becoming the captain for the Xia Kingdom this time.】

Liu Bei listened to the voice in his head, feeling a bit dazed,

"What the hell, I became the captain? Without a system, how am I supposed to survive? It won't be some forbidden zone or zombie world, right? Oh, heavens!"

【Ding, you are about to enter the Han-end Three Kingdoms hegemony game!】

"Han-end Three Kingdoms?"

Liu Bei was stunned,

"It's actually the Han-end Three Kingdoms?!"

According to the memories of the original owner of this body, this world did not have this history,

"In other words, only I know the history of the Three Kingdoms, know the key events, and know who the top-tier generals and strategists are?"

Liu Bei sat up abruptly,

"This looks like it could work!"

【Ding, all contestants will enter the 'Han-end Three Kingdoms' game in three minutes.】

【Ding, contestants have three minutes to prepare, say goodbye to family, and prepare one item to bring into the game (high-tech items and firearms are prohibited, otherwise they will be confiscated), with a weight not exceeding 5kg.】

【Hint: The Han-end Three Kingdoms is in the feudal dynasty era!】

【Note: Contestants cannot change the technological level of the game world, otherwise they will be judged as having failed.】

【The system will score based on the value of the items brought by the contestants; the country with the highest-scoring contestant will receive corresponding rewards.】

"I can only bring one thing?"

Liu Bei wanted to bring a gun, but it seemed impossible, and there was nowhere to find one in three minutes, plus it exceeded the technological level of the time.

"Then what should I bring?"

Liu Bei fell into deep thought.

Netizens had already begun a heated discussion,

"What the hell is the Han-end Three Kingdoms?"

"It should be a hegemony-style game."

"Can't change the tech level, can't bring high-tech items, can't even bring firearms?"

"This really stumped me!"

Three minutes later,

【Three Kingdoms Han-end game begins, all contestants entering.】

The three people selected from each country vanished in an instant!

The live broadcast rooms for every country lit up, and netizens could switch freely to enter any country's room.

Tens of billions of people worldwide, those who had the means, almost all took out their phones or computers to watch the broadcast!

"Whoosh!"

Liu Bei, carrying a burlap sack, appeared in the small dark room prepared for the Xia Kingdom contestants,

Standing beside him were already two heroic and spirited girls,

The silver-haired Bai Yuekui,

And the beautiful and cool Hua Mulan!

The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with comments,
