Chapter 1: The Young King

Next Chapter

It was early in the morning, the sun was shining, but it was still dark in the rooms of the old building.

Sunlight filtered through the cracks in the curtains, like a sneaking elf.

Zhang Xun was still asleep on the bed, occasionally frowning unconsciously, showing that his dreams were not peaceful.

In a trance, he seemed to hear a faint sigh.

"Are you the young king?"

The voice was very ethereal, I don't know where it came from, even if Zhang Xun was still asleep, he still seemed to understand, so he subconsciously shook his head.

The faint voice lengthened the tone: "I only talk to the king, and if you are not, I will fall back into a deep sleep." ”

Zhang Xun turned over and said in a very low and vague voice: "Good night." ”

The voice fell silent and stood still for a long time, and finally, just when Zhang Xun had almost forgotten him, in a dream, Zhang Xun suddenly found himself in a palace full of dark tones.

The palace was full of time, and it was so quiet that he looked blankly at the candelabras and the green fire that looked like a fairy all around.

He was at a loss for a moment.

Somehow he came to the only chair in the palace and sat down peacefully, and then a crown suddenly appeared, and before he knew where he was, it landed on top of his head.

A gust of wind blew, and the hues of the palace suddenly brightened, and the ghost disappeared.

At the same time, a voice appeared in his ears.

[The new king is officially crowned, the whole world celebrates, and the first year of the new calendar begins]

……

In his sleep, Zhang Xun frowned, and his eyebrows were full of confusion.

Then another emotionless, indistinguishable voice appeared in his ears.

[Ask the new king to make a decision: When a plague breaks out outside the city, the prime minister orders the city gates to be closed, but the queen comes and asks for help, and the king should decide, yes or no.] 】

Half-asleep and half-awake, Zhang Xun's mind was just confused, but he could understand this question.

When someone asks, he knows he should answer.

So, with his heart, he muttered without much hesitation:

"Yes, rescue. ”

【The King Has Made】

Then Zhang Xun, who was asleep, felt an indescribable discomfort in his body, not that it was painful, but it was very uncomfortable.

At the same time, hazy, on a light curtain floating in front of him, a progress bar suddenly changed, and the progress bar that was originally green suddenly trembled and shortened, dropping from about 70% to about 50% before.

The color has also changed from a healthy green to orange.

[Decision takes effect]

When these four words sounded, Zhang Xun finally opened his eyes.

His black and white eyes blinked, and he really saw a floating light curtain appear in front of him at some point.

Zhang Xun was a little confused, instinctively reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch it, and then a line of words appeared on the light curtain: The next decision-making time is 24 hours later.

"It's ......"

Zhang Xun was stunned and a little stupid.

Perhaps he sensed Zhang Xun's doubts, so a piece of text emerged:

You have become the new king of the Eagle Kingdom, and you will rule the country through decisions, lead your subjects through the dark years, overcome the harsh environment and the harsh climate, and have four kingdoms around you.

Your kingdom is weak and will fall at the slightest mistake, so as a monarch, you must be careful and do your best to deal with every choice, religion, the army, finances, and the people's hearts, and you must always pay attention to the balance.

Note that careful decision-making and long-term planning are the keys to maintaining your rule, as a king, every decision you make will affect the direction of the entire country, and as a king, your life is also closely tied to the kingdom.

Zhang Xun silently finished reading this official passage, and before he could chew it carefully, these words scattered and were replaced by other words.

The new text is much more concise:

[As a king, you will respond to all kinds of decision-making requests at any time, every right decision will make the fortune of the country grow, and the wrong decision will make the country weak, your life is connected to the country, when the kingdom falls, it is the time when the monarch dies, you must be cautious.] 】

The words dispersed, and Zhang Xun lay on the bed in a daze for a while before slowly accepting all this.

At the same time, he finally came to his senses.

"King?"

He blinked, trying to calm his mind, but it was hard to do.

At this time, his composure beyond ordinary people played a role, Zhang Xun suppressed his chaotic thoughts and curiosity, and got up step by step.

Strange to say, when he didn't think about it, the light curtain disappeared.

"Thorny ......"

He opened the curtains, and the sun at eight or nine o'clock suddenly lit up the room.

Zhang Xunding stood at the window for a while before slowly washing his face and brushing his teeth.

As an online writer who sells stories, Zhang Xun's time difference is slightly different from others.

He was the only one in the room, and his roommate had already left, so no one was rushing for him to take the bathroom.

After slowly washing up, Zhang Xun poured water into the low-power electric cooking pot he bought online, plugged it in, and then moved a stool to sit at the table, looking at the small electric pot that began to boil water in a daze.

"I'm a king?"

Zhang Xun said to himself, he had completely calmed down, but he felt more and more absurd, and began to guess that everything before was just a dream.

However, as soon as he raised this thought, the light curtain in front of him quietly appeared again.

"Hiss......"

Zhang Xun took a breath and was very surprised.

Perhaps because the nerves of the online writer are relatively thick, he did not feel fear, but looked at the light screen very curiously.

There are few patterns on the light screen, and the most conspicuous is the thick and eye-catching orange progress bar in the upper center.

When his eyes were cast, two words appeared on the progress bar: national fortune.

It seems that the health of his kingdom is shown by this thing.

Zhang Xun said calmly.

Continuing to look down, below the progress bar are four very small points of light side by side, like four fireflies lying side by side, each with different brightness.

When his eyes swept over, the four points of light appeared: religion, army, finance, and public opinion.

Zhang Xun didn't quite understand what this was about.

In addition, there is only a single chest-like pattern at the bottom of the entire screen, on which only two simple words are written: National Treasury.

"Treasury?"

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up slightly, and he was very interested in this.

And the light curtain also appeared with a caption:

[Treasury: The king's exclusive treasury, in which the money can be used to build the kingdom or withdraw to reality, in addition, the treasury also refreshes the king's collection from time to time, which can be withdrawn.] 】

After reading this text, Zhang Xun almost couldn't help but reach out and click on it, but he still stopped his impulse in time.

And silently recited: "Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil." ”

Then he suddenly sat upright, and with great willpower he looked away from the "treasury" pattern.

He looked at the pair of famous couplets hanging on the wall next to him that he had spent a full twenty yuan to buy for the three generations of Qing Dynasty emperors Weng Tongyong.

There is calm in every major event, and I don't believe that there are no ancient sages today

"To be calm, to be calm. ”

Zhang Xun said to himself.
