White light flickered, and Bai Pu entered the plane scene, the scenery before his eyes gradually froze.
[Welco to the plane scene of Three Kingdoms: Chibi, conducting the Spirit Realm Exploration Exam.]
[You have temporarily acquired the language of this plane: Ancient Chinese. Your appearance and attire have been temporarily adapted to avoid arousing the suspicion of the natives. The adjustnts to your appearance and attire will not affect your hidden attribute: Charisma.]
[Three Kingdoms: Chibi]
[Ti: 3rd Century AD]
[Region: Asia - Yangtze River Basin]
[Intensity: 2.4]
[Background: History of Huaxia took a slight turn during the Qin Dynasty, the event of book burning and burying scholars did not occur; the legacy of Confucian Path and Martial Dao continued. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords contended, extraordinary individuals displayed their abilities. Scholars nurtured Vast Righteous Qi, unifying with Heaven; martial artists mastered Vigorous Qi techniques, dominating battlefields...]
The cold river wind brushed by, sending a shiver through Bai Pu’s body.
The mory of Lu Aniu, the native, surged into his mind—
A distant relative of the Lu Clan, a prominent family in Wu County.
The founding ancestor of the Lu Clan is Lu Tong.
Lu Aniu’s grandfather, Lu Qing, is a twentieth-generation descendant of the Lu Clan, the family fell into decline; his father, Lu Ming, never pursued studies and fard all his life; by Lu Aniu’s generation, he did not even have a decent na.
The scenery slowly froze, and Bai Pu felt the rocking sensation underfoot.
Bai Pu realized he was on a massive battleship, in front of him was the wide river surface, behind him was the riverbank and a campsite with fluttering banners.
"Lu Aniu, alti!" Two coarse, large hands settled on Bai Pu’s shoulders, shaking him around.
Bai Pu held onto those hands and turned his head to look.
A burly man with a gray turban, clothed in half rough fabric, bare-chested on one side, was shaking his shoulder.
That was his fellow villager, Zhang Dalang. Although they were not very familiar with each other before, after being conscripted, boarding the sa warship, they naturally felt a special closeness.
"Don’t call A’niu, I have a proper na."
Bai Pu started with the na, "My na is Lu Pu, and my grandfather gave the courtesy na, Bo Yue!"
"Lu... Lu Bo Yue?"
Zhang Dalang stamred as he repeated it. Though he did not understand the aning of the courtesy na "Bo Yue," it seed impressive and mysterious, as if his fellow villager’s temperant had slightly changed.
Zhang Dalang recalled, nodding as he spoke, "Yes, indeed... You’re definitely of the Lu surna, supposedly your grandfather was part of an off-shoot branch of the Lu Clan..."
Bai Pu said, "Brother Zhang, just call Lu Pu."
This is the effect of the extra title "Famous Family," which makes those who et Bai Pu subconsciously accept that he cos from an illustrious lineage!
One could even check the Lu Clan genealogy, and the grandfather Lu Qing and father Lu Ming of this so-called "Lu Aniu" can also be found.
If it wasn’t for the Famous Family title, upon entering this world, concocting a prestigious lineage recklessly, the natives certainly wouldn’t believe it.
Bai Pu looked over his attire, similar to Zhang Dalang’s, with the only difference being an additional complete inner garnt, not exposing his chest, preserving the family’s dignity.
Zhang Dalang dragged Bai Pu along with the green armor centurion in the lead to the camp to receive als, while chattering along the way:
"These days, be cautious. The Grand Commander enforces strict martial law. I heard even General Huang Gongfu was caned, and if it weren’t for multiple officials pleading, he’d have been beheaded by now."
Bai Pu cooperatively showed a surprised expression: "When did this happen?"
"Just yesterday, you didn’t know?" Zhang Dalang, satisfied with spreading gossip, said enthusiastically, "They say General Huang’s whole back was beaten to pieces, bleeding all over, bedridden. Many people went to visit, expressing grievances against the Grand Commander."
This Zhang Dalang narrated vividly, yet Bai Pu didn’t doubt its authenticity.
This is precisely the famous tale from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Zhou Yu strikes Huang Gai, one willing to be beaten, one willing to endure!
As for why even sothing as trivial as soldiers knowing of Huang Gai’s punishnt spread, obviously, it stemd from Zhou Yu’s tacit consent, or even encouragent! He wanted Huang Gai’s punishnt to perate the troops, convincing the opposing Cao Army of its legitimacy, thereby accepting Huang Gai’s feigned surrender!
The Three Kingdoms plane world is a deeply influential and highly challenging world; thoroughly reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a mandatory course for every Awakened! Except not every Awakened can rember precise dates and tis.
Bai Pu was different, he could recite the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms backwards, without missing a word!
Recalling it a bit, Bai Pu pieced together the tiline after the ruse.
After Huang Gai’s punishnt, Kan Ze visited him, then went to the Cao camp at night, presenting a fake surrender letter.
After Kan Ze returned, he conspired with Gan Ning to deceive the spies, Cai Zhong and Cai He, sent by Cao Camp, forming a surrender team. Only Kan Ze and Gan Ning’s surrender was fake, but Cai Zhong and Cai He believed it to be true, secretly reporting to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, ever suspicious, did not fully trust Huang Gai or Kan Ze, dispatching the clever Jiang Gan across the river to verify the situation.
Jiang Gan, under Zhou Yu’s secret arrangent, encountered Pang Tong the Phoenix Chick, imdiately recomnding Pang Tong to Cao Cao.
Pang Tong then proposed the chained ships tactic, using large iron nails to lock the Cao Camp warships together, supposedly "moving on chains as if on solid ground," overcoming northern soldiers’ seaworthiness weakness, but also binding Cao Army hands and feet, unable to handle fire attacks!
Days later, Zhuge Liang borrowed the wind at the Seven-Star Altar, Zhou Yu set fire at the Three Rivers Confluence, burning Chibi, severely defeating the Cao Army.
Afterwards was the struggle between Sun and Liu families for control over Jingzhou, unnecessary to think about, as there’s no ti.
In this special mirror plane scene, failing to trigger the main storyline task results in no extra ti to stay, and all candidates face the sa, with only ten days of free exploration ti!
Bai Pu followed Zhang Dalang, stepping on a small boat tied to the back of the battleship, heading towards the riverside camp.
During walking, boarding, and other processes, Bai Pu already felt the distinctions of this plane scene from Earth, where air resistance, gravity seed stronger, even the ground felt more solid.
The plane scene’s intensity of 2.4 signifies a higher concentration of spiritual particles! Mountains and rivers are more solid and hard to damage, venomous creatures and beasts more vicious and harder to deal with.
The most crucial is people!
Living in such a high concentration of spiritual particles plane, the power of those natives solely dedicated to combat is imaginable!
Upon entering the plane scene, Bai Pu had already equipped the title he acquired from the last plane world: [Eagle Eye].
[Eagle Eye: C-level title. Wear this title entering a Spirit Realm Plane, you’ll obtain reconnaissance skills and learn partial details of targets. Using reconnaissance skills requires a wait of one natural day before reuse.]
The title’s gifted reconnaissance capability had a cooldown of up to 24 hours. However, Bai Pu did not hesitate to use it directly on the leading green armor centurion.
Suddenly a barely noticeable red light flashed over the green armor centurion’s body, and a semi-transparent information box appeared in Bai Pu’s view.
