230 days of signs

January 184 of the game calendar.

Players from all over the world flock to Roy to try to capture as much profit as possible before chaos strikes. While seeking opportunities for advancement in Luoyang, they controlled the village forces from afar, desperately expanding their strength.

Among these players, village chiefs, legion leaders, and gang leaders are the mainstay, and they are known for their large power. Many of them had no personal force or great skills, and the only thing they had was command over villages, troops, and gangs.

However, there are countless more heroes who have been reckless since ancient times, waiting for the opportunity to rise to the occasion of a blockbuster rise - this time is the Yellow Turban Uprising.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and when the outbreak is approaching, countless players have calmed down and responded to all kinds of changes without moving. Hold your breath and wait for the big changes that are coming.

In mid-January, a large-scale natural disaster suddenly struck, causing the entire village forces in the game to start to riot in advance.

"On January 17, 184, the whole China system announced: Liangzhou and Bingzhou suddenly had a large-scale locust plague, and the disaster level was lv3. Various villages have been affected to varying degrees, and grain production has been extinct in a large area, and there has been no harvest. ”

As soon as the announcement was announced, the locust plague immediately came, and tens of billions of level 0 locusts swept through all the villages of players and NPCs, eating all the food that could be seen in the grain fields on the ground. The food planted in the villages in January is all gone at once - this is not a trivial matter, most of the villages are already very short of food, and the NPCs often eat the last meal without the next meal, and look forward to the next month's grain harvest. As soon as the locusts came, they immediately hit all the villages hard.

The player villages in the three states were in chaos, and they rushed to buy all the food they could find from the player market, and for a while, the price of food skyrocketed, and all the items that could be eaten were soaring. However, few villages in the market are willing to sell grain, which is a material that money cannot buy. Not to mention the food in the system city, players cannot buy food from the system city, and only a small number of NPC black market merchants can get food from special channels.

The villages of these three states are in great trouble, and the player villages of their rich states and counties are inevitably a little gloating, ridiculed, and gossipy.

"Haha, those desolate villages in Liangzhou and Bingzhou are coming to an end, there is not much food in that place, and a locust plague can wipe them all out!"

"Look at our village in Jingzhou, the grain stored in the granary is enough for all farmers to eat for three months, even if there is a natural disaster, it will be pediatric."

"It's only been three months? Our village has been hoarding grain for five months, but unfortunately it can't be transported to Liangzhou, otherwise we will make a fortune at once. The price of a stone of grain in Liangzhou is about to rise to 3,000 copper coins. ”

Unfortunately, before they had time to rejoice, a larger disaster spread throughout the game.

"On January 19, 184, the whole China system announced: Sili, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou prefectures broke out floods, rat disasters, large-scale landslides on mountains and rocks, and the disaster level was lv6. Farmland and buildings in various villages were affected to varying degrees, countless houses collapsed, NPCs were killed or injured, grain production was extinct in a large area, and the granary suffered a rat plague and the inventory was greatly reduced. ”

In an instant, torrential rain began to pour down, the water of the Yangtze River swelled at a visible speed, and the villages were flooded with rat plagues, and the mountains and rocks rumbled and shook.

Countless level 0~1 rats came out of the ground and attacked the player's granary in waves.

The players in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, were shocked and mobilized all their forces to start culling these rats. Unfortunately, the number of rats is dozens of times greater than the number of players, and in an instant, they cover the granaries in the village. After the players have eliminated most of the rats, they are shocked to find that the grain stored in the granary in their village has been almost bitten by the rampant rats, and only a few are left.

The player village chiefs who boasted that their granaries were full of food wanted to cry without tears, and now they almost hit their heads against the wall, screaming to the sky. The food that had taken months to store was wiped out overnight, and Bai rejoiced.

Disasters erupted one after another,

"On January 20, 184, the whole of China was systematically announced: Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, Gunzhou, Qingzhou, the weather is dry, the ground is spitting fire, the drought is great, the grain fields are dry, the grain production is extinct, and there is no harvest."

"On January 24, 184, the whole China system announced: Yizhou, Jiaozhou, large-scale earthquakes, rat plagues, disaster level lv7. The grain fields and houses in various villages were affected to varying degrees, the buildings collapsed, the defense of the village walls was greatly reduced, the grain output was reduced in a large area, and the granaries were damaged to varying degrees. ”

However, these disasters are not just for player villages, they also hit many system cities hard.

The walls collapsed, and the defenses were greatly reduced. Encountering natural fires, countless houses were burned. The river is overflowing, and rats are rampant. The food ran out, and the NPCs everywhere were too vigilant and urgent, and the documents flew like snowflakes to the imperial city.

In just over ten days, the entire land was hit hard. For a while, players in the world were shocked and discolored, and NPCs in the world shook. The court was in chaos, and the NPC ministers wrote to ask for disaster relief, but unfortunately the NPC Ten Standing Servants deceived the upper and lower to conceal the disaster, and the NPC Spirit Emperor Lao'er was still entertaining in Xiyuan, and he didn't know that someone was going to overthrow his throne.

The end of January was a disaster and chaos.

Fortunately, the imperial court's inspection of filial piety continued as usual, and in early February, a formal assessment was held. This assessment is also known as "all students test the family law, and the scribes perform the lessons". The chief examiner of the imperial court will issue the test papers, and the players and NPCs will be asked to answer various questions about the court. These questions are imitations of the assessment of filial piety in real history, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

This kind of assessment is slightly easier for NPC filial piety, as long as there are a few real talents and real learning, they can answer freely.

But it's difficult for the players, even if they have the ability, it's impossible to know much about these ancient scriptures and notes. You may even get the title wrong, let alone answer the question.

This requires the players to cross the sea and show their powers.

A more ordinary means to win over NPCs with filial piety, so that NPCs can secretly pass on standard answers. The cost is great, and the harvest is great.

Difficult means to directly bribe NPC examiners and ask for accommodation. Of course, this requires an extremely high cost of "accommodation".

Simple means, directly peeping at other people's answers, plagiarism. It's a bit shameless, but fortunately, it doesn't cost much. The downside is that the odds of success for plagiarism are low.

Or other means, anyway, the players just need to answer the questions.

Exams begin.

In the palace, on the examination hall, hundreds of players and NPC filial piety sat upright, and the chief examiner and invigilator patrolled back and forth in the hall, occasionally taking a look at the answers of players and NPC filial piety, or nodding approvingly, or shaking their heads in disappointment.

The player bosses looked around from time to time, and as soon as they found that the invigilator was not around, they immediately seized the time to exert their magic powers and take over the standard answers from the NPC filial piety who had made friends.

Zhan Xiaobai sat upright, carrying a pen in his hand. Those exam questions didn't seem to be a problem for him at all, and he answered them faster than NPC filial piety, and he almost didn't even think about writing the "standard" answers.

Wuwei NPC Xiaolian Jia An was sitting behind Zhan Xiaobai, seeing that many other player bosses were scratching their heads and looking around, and seeing Zhan Xiaobai's pen flying fast, he asked very strangely: "Brother Xiaobai, why did you write so fast?" Do you know all this? ”

Zhan Xiaobai brush dipped the ink on the case table, and continued to write on the case questions.

He didn't look back, but replied, "It's okay, it's average!" ”

Jia An looked at all the test questions, shook his head and said, "Even if it's a brother, I'm afraid it's difficult to answer these questions." Brother Xiaobai is very powerful. ”

A player village chief on the side, who was worried about not knowing how to write, listened to Zhan Xiaobai's words, and suddenly showed an exaggerated expression, exclaiming: "Admire! The little white boss is really a god! You can even answer such a terrifying question! ”

Zhan Xiaobai just smiled. What's amazing, he doesn't study history, how can he understand these questions on the exam questions. The reason why he can write down the standard answer without thinking about it is naturally because he already knows the answer and knows it by heart.

Speaking of which, this is also a coincidence.

Soon after he came to Luoyang, he visited Ma Yuanyi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Daqu in Luoyang, and received the task of "Heart in the Yellow Turban and Han in Han" to assist the Yellow Turban camp in overthrowing the imperial court.

Ma Yuanyi was conspiring with Feng Yu and others, one of the ten permanent attendants in the palace, to discuss the rebellion. Zhan Xiaobai happened to meet, so he got acquainted with this Feng Zhen in the palace, so he asked Feng Zhen to do a little favor.

As one of the ten permanent servants, Feng Yu wants to get a test paper and answers to examine filial piety, which is very simple. It was from the hands of this Feng Yu that he got the test papers and the standard answers written by the imperial court Confucian.

Zhan Xiaobai did not reveal much about this matter to others.

He finished the three-hour test in an hour, put down the pen and got up and left.

He wasn't the first to leave, but he was definitely the one who surprised everyone the most.

The players in the entire hall were stunned, and they all looked at each other in amazement and admiration. They all knew that Zhan Xiaobai, as the village chief of the first village in the world, was bound to obtain the official position of the imperial court, and it was definitely impossible to hand over the white papers. Since it's not a blank slate, it must have written all the answers.

"Awesome! Where did Xiaobai get the answer? I didn't see which NPC Xiaolian he received the answer from! ”

"I don't know, NPC Xiaolian is just afraid that he doesn't have this speed. We're only halfway there. ”

The NPC invigilator hurriedly came to Zhan Xiaobai's desk, took the test paper, and revealed it slightly. Immediately showing an expression of admiration and joy, he hurriedly came to the front of the hall and handed the test paper to the examiner.

The examiner took a closer look, the handwriting was neat, the organization was clear, the scriptures were cited, the words were concise and sharp, the atmosphere was majestic, and the answers to the test questions were quite thorough. He looked at the signature on the test paper, Wuwei County: Xiaobai, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, what a Wuwei Xiaobai!" This son is also extraordinary. ”

Many players in the hall were shocked and sighed, "Where did the answer come from, I should have asked him for an answer." "It's a pity, it's a pity, the players and NPCs hurry up and speed up.

Zhan Xiaobai heard the chief examiner's admiration and knew that the matter was done, so he left the examination hall directly and walked out of the palace.

When he was leaving the palace gate, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old NPC little eunuch with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes ran over in small steps, and said obediently: "Lord Xiaobai, how did you do in the exam?!" Father-in-law Feng asked the little one to ask. If you don't do well in the exam, he will help you make a small trick and ask the examiner to help you pass the test. ”

This little father-in-law is not a bystander, but a little eunuch who is called by Feng Chen's side. The goal of Chang Shi Fengzhen is too big, and he definitely can't meet Zhan Xiaobai directly, so he sends the little eunuch next to him to deliver the news.

Zhan Xiaobai looked left and right, no one else, smiled and took out ten copper coins and stuffed them to the little eunuch, and said: "Little father-in-law, today's exam is thanks to the answer given by Father-in-law Feng Zhen in advance, otherwise it will be a fool." This little money, the little father-in-law can spend it casually! ”

The little eunuch blushed, pushed the copper plate, and said, "No, the little ones don't dare to take the adult's money, this is what the father-in-law ordered." Now that the little white master has passed the customs, the little one will go back to his life immediately. "Just run.

Zhan Xiaobai hurriedly called out to him, "Wait a minute, what do you call your little father-in-law?" ”

"The small name is Baili Eryu."

The little NPC eunuch ran away without a trace.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled, this little eunuch is quite simple. I thought he should be named Father-in-law X, but I didn't expect his name to be Baili Eryu, and he was actually a little eunuch with a name and surname, but I am afraid that it will not be simple.
