Chapter 6

Global netizens began to discuss frantically,

"Holy crap, so many factions, my eyes are dizzy."

"I have a fear of choosing, and I'm already dizzy."

"If it were me, I'd choose Dong Zhuo; military power is the real deal!"

"I'd choose the Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu factions; wave your arms, and countless people will send money, grain, and troops!"

"I think Cao Cao looks pretty good; his brothers are very capable, his family is wealthy, and he is also very excellent."

"Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and these people are already Inspectors or Governors, and they are imperial clansmen, so they've already won at the starting line."

"I want to ask, does the system have no one left? Why add a guy who sells straw shoes?"

"No people, no troops, no money—a complete 'three-no' person!"

"This guy is ranked last, so the national destiny reward must be the most generous; maybe someone will bet big."

"Liu Bei has the same name as the Xia Kingdom captain, maybe he'll choose it."

"Are you sick? Then his brain must be broken!"

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan were discussing there,

"Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao, or that Sun Jian?"

Bai Yuekui rested her chin on her hand,

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have very good conditions, with many responders."

Hua Mulan said,

"Cao Cao is also not bad; his own conditions and family support, although not as good as the Yuan family,

but the Yuan family has two people; Yuan Shao is a son of a concubine who was adopted as a legitimate son and became Yuan Shu's older brother, so the two will definitely not get along later."

Bai Yuekui nodded,

"Sister Mulan, what you said makes a lot of sense."

The two analyzed back and forth,

Liu Bei had already fallen into deep thought,

"Yuan Shao? Although the foundation is very good and he will soon occupy three provinces, his personality is arrogant, indecisive, suspicious, and his subordinates have too many factions, leading to severe internal strife."

"Yuan Shu? A fighter jet among trash; he turned an aircraft carrier into a bicycle—he can't be carried!"

"Dong Zhuo? Unless I become Dong Zhuo myself! Otherwise, he can't be carried either."

"Boss Cao is very good; as long as he doesn't mess up at Chibi and kills Sima Yi, everything else is fine. It's just that if you aren't from the Cao or Xia Hou families, it's hard to gain trust."

"Liu Bei? A hellish start, running away across half the map, but the generals and strategists are top-tier, and besides, I know the historical development, so it's not impossible to gamble on a big one!"

【Ding, five seconds later, contestants can click the screen to choose; those with slow hand speed get nothing!】

【Note: Only the captain of each team can choose; others' choices are invalid.】

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan hurriedly looked at Liu Bei,

"Captain, choose Cao Cao or the Yuan brothers, right?"

Bai Yuekui analyzed,

"Captain, the Yuan brothers will probably be snatched up by many people; if we choose Cao Cao first, we can avoid the popular ones."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, noncommittal.

Global viewers were also too nervous to breathe,

"The time to test hand speed has arrived!"

"Captain Rogers' body has been strengthened, and his reaction speed is very fast!"

"Miyamoto Musashi is known as the Golden Right Hand, and his speed is also super fast!"

"Are you pretending my Bond is fake?"

"My Baahubali has the roughest fingers!"

"Don't underestimate the veteran otaku Liu Bei; his hand speed won't lose to anyone!"

【Countdown begins, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1】

As the system countdown ended,

Contestants from various countries chose rapidly,

Liu Bei's hand hadn't even pressed on Cao Cao's option before it was snatched by Rogers!

Next was Yuan Shao, taken by Miyamoto Musashi!

Yuan Shu was chosen by Lee Soon-shin of the Stick Country!

Xia Kingdom netizens??

"Holy crap, I overestimated the otaku's hand speed!"

"Now remaining are Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Biao, which are still okay!"

Seeing Cao Cao chosen, Liu Bei clicked Liu Bei's option without hesitation,

Bai Yuekui?!

Hua Mulan?!

Xia Kingdom netizens???

"My eyes aren't deceiving me, are they!"

"He actually chose the guy who sells straw shoes?!"

"Are you okay? In ancient times, birth is very important; Liu Bei is a commoner with no support and no background—it's too hard!"

"Let's just be happy while we can; we're going to be killed by this Liu Bei!"

Bai Yuekui screamed,

"Captain, I didn't tell you to choose yourself..."

Hua Mulan's lively eyes were a bit dazed, looking up at the ceiling,

"So, we chose a hellish start?"

The system's voice rang out again,

【Ding, time is up; those who haven't chosen will be randomly assigned!】

Bai Yuekui muttered,

"Random would have been better than this!"

【Ding, the system will make minor adjustments to everyone's background and appearance, and will also make the people of the game world accept women or Hu Ren as generals and officials.】

【Ding, after entering the game world, contestants will only remember their own team's choice, and memories of other teams will be erased.】

【Ding, contestants cannot assassinate the lords of other factions, otherwise they will be judged as having failed.】

【About to teleport!】

"Straw shoes, fine straw shoes for only one coin!"

A flash of white light, and Liu Bei looked around,

He was in an ancient market, wearing clothes made of burlap, with some woven straw mats and straw shoes laid out in front of him.

Beside him, Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan were also in coarse cloth clothes, but they couldn't hide their beauty.

Liu Bei walked to a stall selling bronze mirrors nearby and took a look,

"Fortunately, my appearance hasn't changed too much, just my ears are bigger and I look more heroic!"

【Ding, Liu Bei, you chose hell-level difficulty; specially rewarded with Constitution +35, Disease-Immune Constitution.】
