Chapter 9: Harvest and New Quests

Li Gui sat in the cabin, feeling that the grass boat was very slow when it went, but it was very fast when it returned.

This truth is reflected in a poem hundreds of years later:

Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day.

The apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the ten thousand mountains.

The physics of it is because the White Emperor is in the upper reaches and Gangneung is in the downstream.

From upstream to downstream, following the trend of the river, the boat will naturally move fast, and it can be reached in one day, passing over ten thousand mountains.

Zhuge Liang had known this principle for a long time, and used it in the strategy of borrowing arrows from grass boats.

First of all, he knew that there would be a lot of fog tonight by observing the sky.

Since there is a heavy fog, it can obscure the view of the enemy army.

With Cao Cao's suspicious nature, when he can't see the reality of his opponent, he will definitely not dare to attack, and will only release arrows.

In addition, Cao Cao's army was not familiar with the weather and hydrological conditions of Chibi, and thought that the warships would sail to the north shore, so he expected that Cao Cao would definitely not use rockets.

This series of reasoning formed the basis for the success of the straw boat borrowing arrows.

In fact, even if he doesn't use his abilities, Zhuge Liang can accomplish his goal, but on the other side, there is a Guo Jia who "came back from the dead" unexpectedly.

Guo Jia was an extremely intelligent man, he was very familiar with the weather and hydrology of Chibi, and knew that the grass boat would inevitably drift south, so he ordered the use of rockets.

Not only that, but in order to prevent the opponent from devouring the rocket with his ability, Guo Jia also used his talent ability:

ใ€Soul Ability: Tianyiใ€‘

[Soul Effect: Consumes one's own lifespan, making it more likely that something will happen, including but not limited to increasing energy, increasing speed, and increasing defense. ใ€‘

Soul Ability: Starry Moon

[Life Soul Effect: Consume your own lifespan, obtain energy from the stars and the moon, form a ball of lightning, and push it out. ใ€‘

This is a combination of abilities, which, when combined, is called [Tianyi Xingyue], which can release extremely powerful energy and destroy the world.

In the face of such a powerful energy, Zhuge Liang originally didn't want to resist, in his opinion, it was unnecessary.

The energy consumption of using [Divine Calculation] is too great, and compared to the 100,000 arrows obtained, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.

However, the situation at the scene at that time, in addition to Zhuge Liang, there were also Lu Su, Li Gui, and Qin Ruguan.

If you don't use the combination ability and directly use [Bagua] to release the energy shockwave, it will inevitably affect the grass boat and affect the people in the cabin.

So, after Zhuge Liang sighed, he still performed the [Bagua Divine Calculation], calculated the movement trajectory of Guo Jia's [Tianyi Xingyue] one by one, and then resolved them one by one.

In the end, everything was light.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang's ability is indeed powerful to the extreme, and it is also subtle to the extreme.

Li Gui reasoned through the [Mandate of Heaven to see through] all kinds of information above, and couldn't help but admire Zhuge Liang's strength.

"It's just that why Guo Jia, who was already dead at this time, in the original Three Kingdoms original, came back from the dead and appeared on the side of Cao Cao's army?"

After getting the information that the person who had fought with Zhuge Liang on the other side was Guo Jia, Li Gui couldn't help but think curiously.

However, according to the information he knew, it was only enough to deduce so much, he could only know about Guo Jia's existence, but he couldn't know why he existed.

"It seems...... The plot of this Three Kingdoms world is not exactly the same as what I have read......"

Li Gui thought about it, he vaguely felt that something was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

However, after all, he is a person who can accept reality very much, and if he really can't think of it, he won't want to.

Anyway, this kind of more unreasonable thing has happened, and the resurrection of a mere Guo Jia is nothing.

What's more, it was precisely because Guo Jia came back from the dead and had such a ability battle with Zhuge Liang that he awakened a new ability, and it was too late for him to be happy.

As happy as he was, there was Qin Ruguan.

Although Qin Ruguan watched the whole process and did not awaken any abilities, she was just happy - happy for the hidden plot and strategy discovered by Li Gui.

In the Blue Star World, the strategy of a dungeon world often requires countless attempts by the Imperial Masters to come up with.

But even so, the strategy they get must be incomplete, and may even be meaningless.

However, Li Gui only explored the dungeon world for the first time, and found out the plot that they had not discovered after countless journeys through the Chibi world thousands of years before.

Even, I met a heroic soul like Zhuge Liang who has an incomparably powerful ability!

This is undoubtedly quite encouraging news.

A new hidden plot, a new powerful heroic soul, and a strategy that everyone can emulate, can bring too much to the people of the Blue Star World.

While only the first person to gain Heroic Soul approval will be able to awaken to the most core Soul ability and borrow the most power, those who follow suit will at least get some weakened abilities that they wouldn't have been able to obtain.

Qin Ruguan already has extremely powerful abilities, and she doesn't need these weakened abilities, but she knows that every time one more person awakens the ability, even if it is a weakened version, it can change the fate of a family.

So she was happy.

Qin Ruguan recorded everything, and after he went back, he reported the plot and strategy discovered by Li Gui to the school.

The two were in the same boat, going down the river, but they had different thoughts.

When thinking wildly, time always flies very quickly, and soon, the ship docked, and everyone got off the boat, and saw that Zhou Yu had sent someone, ready to count the arrows.

Zhuge Liang stood aside, looking at all this with a smile on his face.

The soldiers who waited for the count pulled the arrows from the ship and the dummy, and placed them on the shore to count them, and the number was ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

The counting soldier was overjoyed and was about to speak, but saw Li Gui take out an arrow from his bosom and put it back in the pile of arrows.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine plus one, no more, no less, exactly one hundred thousand arrows.

Lu Su looked at it and sighed: "Mr. Kong Ming, it is really a clever calculation. โ€

Zhuge Liang shook his head and didn't speak.

Through [Heavenly Destiny], Li Gui immediately guessed what he was thinking, took a step forward, and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming....... Are you worried that these 100,000 arrows will not be enough? I have a way to help make more arrows. โ€

Lu Su listened, and was about to say something, but Zhuge Liang spoke first: "Oh? Li Xiaoyou, what method are you talking about? Can you share it and write it down, so that we can use it for both our grandchildren and Liu. โ€

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, a smile appeared on Li Gui's face.

When he saw Zhuge Liang shaking his head and saying nothing, he had already guessed that Zhuge Liang was worried that Cao Cao's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Zhuge Liang's sorrow is his sorrow, for the new life and soul ability, and for the sake of solving problems for Mr. Kong Ming, whom he admires so much, Li Gui must of course have to find a way.

And the solution he thought of was mechanized assembly line production.

However, the assembly line production of this kind of thing sounds easy, but in practice, Li Gui can't do it, he has no experience in management and operation.

However, he agreed, because he knew that there was someone who would understand.

That is Fang Philo, who proposed this method before.

As long as this work is outsourced to her, then both of them can be recognized by Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, killing two birds with one stone!

There is no reason why the other party would disagree!

Thinking like this, Li Gui agreed, just saying that he still needed a day to prepare, and then left with Qin Ruguan.

But then, he realized that he was still thinking too simply.
