Chapter 3: The Battle of Toshima

"Dear user, I'm not kidding you, the place you are in right now is indeed Incheon." The little guy said seriously.

"No, it won't!" Ren Chao felt that his head was bigger, "Lao Tzu doesn't even have a visa, so he won't be arrested as a stowaway!" ”

"No, it won't!" The little guy said with great certainty.

"Why?" Ren Chao couldn't help but ask.

"Because your current identity is a Qing soldier stationed in Korea, and North Korea is a subject country of the Great Qing Dynasty, the North Korean government will not dare to drive you away?" The little guy said and flipped his head in the air, looking very funny.

"Wait!" Ren Chao felt his head dizzy, "What Qing army stationed in Korea?" What was a subject of the Qing Dynasty? Suddenly Ren Chao remembered the braid that grew on his head, Ren Chao shook his head and grabbed his braid, and a spiritual light flashed in his mind at the same time, Ren Chao seemed to understand something.

"What time is it? What year is it? Ren Chao hurriedly asked.

"July 26, 1894!" The little one replied.

"1894, the First Sino-Japanese War, was the year. No way! Could it be that Lao Tzu really crossed over. Ren Chao had an expression of disbelief. Ren Chao really couldn't believe that this kind of thing, which only happened in novels, would happen to him. But what's the deal with the braids that suddenly appear on the back of your head? Ren Chao's head was even more confused.

"Dear user, please don't doubt that you have indeed traveled back in time and space to a hundred and twenty years ago, and your current location is indeed Incheon, North Korea, there is no doubt that your identity is a Qing soldier stationed in North Korea, and your name is still Ren Chao." The little guy danced in front of Ren Chao's eyes, but the words he said made Ren Chao fall into an ice cellar.

"Bastard! Whoever asked you to catch Lao Tzu here, send Lao Tzu back quickly! Ren Chao roared angrily, stretched out his hands and wanted to grab the little guy, but his hands directly penetrated the little guy, looking at the two hands he held together, Ren Chao couldn't help but be stunned.

"Forget about you, respected user, I'm just a high-level intelligence, and I have no substance." The little guy flew to the side lightly and said with a smile. "You just said you want to go back to the original plane, I'm sorry, I can't meet your request at this time."

"You bastard! So what did you bring me here for? Ren Chao shouted loudly, "Boss! Please, hurry up and collect the supernatural powers! Send me back! I'm a modern person, I really can't adapt to the life of ancient times, and I guess there are no electric lights in this era! How do you let me live! ”

"First of all, I'm not called Boss! My name is Pixie. The little guy said seriously.

"What do you call me? I just want to go back now. Ren Chao interrupted the little guy very rudely, but at this time, Ren Chao took a closer look at the little guy, and he was indeed a bit like an elf in some cartoons.

"Please remain calm, respectful users. As I said, I can't send you back so far. The elf said quickly.

"What do you say? You can't send me back at the moment, so you can send me back later. Ren Chao hurriedly asked as if he had grasped the last straw.

"I can't rule this out, because some of my features are unlocked, so I don't know what these features are?" The elf said with a frown.

"Then hurry up and unlock it?" Ren Chao hurriedly urged.

"Sorry, the unlock conditions are not enough to unlock!" The little guy said helplessly.

"So what are the unlock conditions?" Ren Chao asked impatiently.

"The conditions for unlocking are simple, it's your level. As you level up, my various features will be unlocked gradually, so please hurry up and level up! Come on! Come on! The elf made a look of encouragement.

"Add your sister!" Ren Chao said angrily, "What level?" What kind of upgrade? What kind of nonsense are you talking about. ”

"Oh, sorry! I'm sorry I forgot to show you the beginner's guide! The elf said apologetically. As soon as the words fell, the elf raised his little hand and waved it lightly, and suddenly a screen appeared in front of Ren Chao's eyes, and lines of Chinese characters scrolled on the screen.

After about three minutes, Ren Chao finished reading this so-called beginner's guide, and finally had a general understanding of what was happening in front of him. After falling into the sea, this so-called Celestial Empire system was bound to himself, and then he traveled through time and space to this time and space, and was reborn on the body in front of him. As for this system, it can be simply understood as a game system, but in fact, this thing is really a game invented by humans in the future. As a user of this system, Ren Chao can complete a series of system tasks through guò to gain experience and improve his level, and as his level increases, Ren Chao's authority will become greater and greater.

"Open the profile page!" Ren Chao followed the prompts in the beginner's guide and began to issue instructions to the elves.

"As you wish!" The elf whispered, then waved his hand. A projection immediately appeared in front of Ren Chao's eyes, and he saw that it was clearly written.

Name: Ren Chao

Rank: Warrant Officer

Territory: None

Population: None

Strength: None

Money: None

……

There is also an empty experience bar at the bottom, showing that Ren Chao's current experience is 0.

"Holy! No way! Nothing, that's a piece of! Ren Chao sat down on a big rock dejectedly.

"Dear users, please don't despair. You currently have one available quest, and after completing it, you will be rewarded with experience and money, so do you want to accept it! The elf asked with a smile.

"What task?" Ren Chao did not blindly accept the task, at this time Ren Chao still had a certain vigilance, so it was better to ask clearly.

"You can take a look at the mission description first." The elf said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ren Chao nodded.

As soon as the words fell, a screen appeared in front of Ren Chao's eyes, the picture was pitch black, and a line of white characters was written on it, "July 25, 1894 AD".

"July 25, 1894!" Of course, Ren Chao knew that this day was the day when the Japanese warship suddenly attacked the Qing army troop carrier, and the First Sino-Japanese War officially broke out!

In 1894, when the Donghak uprising broke out in Korea, the Korean government was unable to suppress it, so it appealed to its suzerain, the Qing Dynasty, for help. The Qing government then sent troops into Korea, and at this time, Japan had already coveted Korea for a long time, and also took this opportunity to send troops to Korea.

Soon after, the North Korean government reached a compromise with the Donghak Party. The Qing government ordered the Korean army to assemble in Asan and prepare to withdraw, and at the same time demanded that Japan withdraw its troops. Japan refused to accept it, and then provoked an armed conflict in an attempt to control Korea by force. In order to reinforce the lonely army of Asan, the Qing government sent the Beiyang Navy cruisers "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi", the training ship "Weiyuan", and the gunboat "Caojiang", led by Fang Boqian, the pipe leader of "Jiyuan", to escort the three ships "Airen", "Flying Whale" and "Gaosheng" (all hired British merchant ships) carrying reinforcements to Korea.

On the 21st day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, "Weiyuan" escorted "Airen" and "Flying Whale" to return from Asan. On the morning of 23 July (July 25 of the Gregorian calendar), the "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" also returned from Asan to meet the "Gaosheng" and "Caojiang" that were heading for Asan Island. After about an hour of fighting, "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" were wounded and retreated. "Guangyi" fled to the vicinity of the 18 islands of North Korea and ran aground and burned; "Jiyuan" was closely pursued by "Yoshino", and sailors Wang Guocheng and Li Shimao wounded him with tail guns. At this time, "Cao Jiang" and "Gao Sheng" arrived. "Qiujinzhou" forced to surrender to "Caojiang", and "Gao Sheng" was intercepted by "Langsu", and the officers and men on board would rather die than surrender. The captain of the "Naniwa" ship, Togo Heihachiro, actually ordered the "Gao Sheng" to be sunk, and the 950 Qing soldiers were martyred except for more than 200 people.

Thinking of this tragic history, Ren Chao couldn't help but clench his fists, and his eyes almost burst into flames. At this moment, the screen flashed, and the subtitles disappeared. The scene shifts to a calm sea, and four ships appear on the screen. One of the warships was unusually mighty, and it was the cruiser Jiyuan of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty.
