Chapter 18 – Joining the Army
Unknown location, City of Luo Yang.
”To think that godfather made a mistake, or should I say that we underestimated the A.I.?”
”Well, this is quite troublesome.”
”…”
*sigh*
”I guess I have no choice.”
”I hope Friday won't blame me for this.”
…
Inner Palace, Official Resident, Tian Shui City.
”What the heck!? What did the A.I. do to my lifespan?”
”How can I go back if I only have 50 years to live?”
”I can't kill the natives? This is absurd! A.I. is a jerk!”
”…”
”Ah! There's that way!”
”Heheheh! As long as I find him then the problem will be solved.”
”I'm such a genius! Hehehehe!”
…
January 2nd, 181 AD, Morning. Zhang resident.
Tong and Hua Shi gathered up and discussed what skill they bought last night.
Hua Shi had bought the [Sword Master] skill which gave her boost when she used a sword as a weapon and also gave her additional lifespans if she killed a person.
********************************************
[Sword Master] Cannot be leveled up
- Master all kinds of swords. Increase all attributes by 10 times if the host is using a sword.
- If the host kill an enemy, increase the host lifespan by the remaining lifespan of the dead enemy.
********************************************
Hua Shi claimed that she didn't want to participate in the upcoming war, so she needed a skill to defend herself when she returned home.
She also started up another mission right away. She had to heal one hundred natives within a year then she would get another 10,000 years of lifespans and the right to buy another item from the system.
Tong didn't activate any new quest yet. He still possessed two major quests that he still hadn't completed. Tong had to officially join the Yellow Turban Army and would have to make sure the army successfully formed up in the next two years, just like in the history.
…
In the afternoon, Tong went to see his father, Zhang Jiao.
His father was delighted when Tong came to see him. But what Tong asked him next sadden and terrified him.
”I knew what you are doing. You're going to start a war soon.”
”Count me in, make me one of your soldier.”
As a father, Zhang Jiao never wanted his son to participate in the mess he created. He wished his son would continue pursuing the path of merchants.
Zhang Jiao refused it right away and was about to scold Tong.
However, Tong suddenly mumbled ”Time Stop” and teleported behind Zhang Jiao with a dagger pointed at his neck.
At the time, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao's two brothers, was there as well. They witnessed a miracle of teleportation for the first time in their life.
”I can use this magic once a day.”
”I'm also invincible, no one in this world can kill me.”
”If you don't believe it, you can try. I won't dodge or defend myself.”
Tong challenged the three of them. His stern voice and his face showed his seriousness.
Zhang Liang, who hadn't interacted much with this nephew, got angry. He determined to teach this little brat a lesson that war wasn't a place for a kid. He threw a punch at Tong.
The punch landed on Tong's face.
Betraying everyone's expectation, Tong didn't move an inch. Instead, Zhang Liang stepped back while holding his hand that had hit Tong in pain. He felt like he just hit an iron plate with his bare hand.
Zhang Bao raised his eyebrow and smirked in amusement. Then he threw a kick aiming at the back of the head.
The result was the same. Tong was standing still as if nothing happened, but Zhang Bao felt pain on the foot that kicked Tong.
