Yang Rui did not expect Zuo Feng from the Yellow Gate to give him two missions at once. The first was to make the final battle with the Yellow Turban from Jizhou happen within 20 days. The second was to obtain Zhang Jiao's Taiping Essential Technique! Or rather, one of the specific recipes!
"I've also entrusted this task to Dong Zhuo. I don't think Dong Zhuo is very reliable. It's fine if he doesn't obtain the Taiping Essential Technique, but if he does, he might keep it for himself! I'm not afraid of him keeping it for himself, but I'm afraid it'll take some effort to get him to take it out! "
Zuo Feng said as he sipped his tea. At the same time, he also provided Yang Rui with some information about the mission. Judging from his words, Dong Zhuo should know about the mission to obtain the Taiping Essential Technique!
"I was going to give you a reward earlier, but I forgot. Blazing Sun, if you need anything, just tell me. If I think it's reasonable, I'll give it to Blazing Sun …"
After giving out the two new missions, Zuo Feng finally remembered that he was going to give Yang Rui a reward. Was he really going to let Yang Rui decide on his own?!
"Master Zuo, Blazing Sun's current strength is limited. I wonder if Master Zuo has …"
"Oh, so Blazing Sun wants to increase his strength!"
Yang Rui wanted to try asking for a few pills to increase his inner force, but he was interrupted by Zuo Feng before he could finish his sentence.
"Blazing Sun's strength is indeed a little low. It'll be great if he can increase his inner force by a few levels! But … "
Zuo Feng continued. It sounded like he wanted to help Yang Rui increase his inner force, but his tone changed. Yang Rui knew it was impossible!
"I didn't prepare anything when I came out. This pill can temporarily increase your strength. Blazing Sun, take it. After Blazing Sun completes the two tasks, I'll find a few better pills for Blazing Sun! "
Yang Rui reached out and took a pill from Zuo Feng. He immediately checked its attributes.
"Vitality Pill: Low-grade Yellow Level Medicinal Pill. Upon activation, all attributes will be temporarily increased by 100% for a duration of 12 hours. After the effect ends, the user will enter a state of fatigue, and all attributes will be reduced by 90% for a duration of 36 hours. After the effect ends, all attributes will return to normal. Only one pill can be used at a time. Repeated use is ineffective! It can only be used on high-ranking military generals and below! "
This was a pill with pretty good attributes. It could be used at critical moments. Even though he didn't receive any pills to increase his inner strength, Yang Rui was already very satisfied that he was able to obtain a low-grade Yellow Rank pill like the "Vitality Pill" from a small mission.
Yang Rui and Zuo Feng chatted for a while, and then went their separate ways. Before leaving, Yang Rui took a few more glances at the detained Lu Zhi. Zuo Feng had always been by Yang Rui's side. This made it impossible for Yang Rui to approach Lu Zhi.
On the way north, Yang Rui was weighing the two missions that Zuo Feng had given him.
According to Zuo Feng, Yang Rui could go to Dong Zhuo's camp with his letter and urge Dong Zhuo to start the decisive battle with Zhang Jiao as soon as possible. However, doing so would definitely cause him to go against Huangfu Song and Cao Cao. It was very likely that it would affect the relationship he had established with the two of them. Moreover, deliberately harming Lu Zhi was not Yang Rui's intention.
If he gave up just like that. It would be a pity. The mission reward that Zuo Feng gave was quite generous. The key was that the eunuchs were in power now, and Zuo Feng could be considered a representative of the eunuchs. He also promised to help Yang Rui get an official position just like Huangfu Song. Comparing the two, Yang Rui even felt that Zuo Feng's promise was more likely to be fulfilled.
As for the mission to obtain the "Taiping Technique", even though Zuo Feng seemed to place more importance on it, in Yang Rui's opinion. The chances of him completing it were very slim. Yang Rui's strength was only at the level of an Intermediate General. It was easier said than done to obtain the "Taiping Technique" from the Yellow Turban boss, Zhang Jiao.
As Yang Rui thought about it, he didn't delay the march. Half a day later, Yang Rui's troops were less than 100 miles away from Guang Ping City. If they sped up, they could reach Guang Ping City and meet up with Huangfu Song and the others before the sky turned dark. However, if they met up with them, it would be unrealistic to complete the first mission that Zuo Feng gave him.
"System Announcement: The three heroes, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, met at Zhuo County in Youzhou. The three of them had similar aspirations and regretted not meeting earlier. They decided to become sworn brothers one day later at the Peach Garden and recruit volunteers to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits together.
The historical event "The Oath of the Three in the Peach Garden" has been triggered. Within a game day, players can participate in this event through the system teleportation and work together with Liu Bei's troops to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits. We hope that all players will participate and work together with Liu Bei's army to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits. After the participating players have chosen their troops, they can teleport to the event location through the system teleportation. "
Before Yang Rui could decide on his choice, a system announcement rang out. All he heard was a timely system announcement, and it was repeated three times in a row!
This system announcement about the "Oath of the Three in the Peach Garden" also announced that Liu Bei had officially stepped onto the stage of history in the game. His appearance was comparable to that of Cao Cao and Sun Jian. There was even an event that specifically targeted Liu Bei's forces. It was believed that more players would participate.
This system announcement also allowed Yang Rui to recall some of his memories from his previous life. After all, it was an event that involved a famous character like Liu Bei. Yang Rui had also paid special attention to it in the movie forum. If Yang Rui remembered correctly, after Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers in the Peach Garden, they immediately joined the battle at Jizhou. The situation in Youzhou should be relatively stable. There were no Yellow Turban bandits like Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao there. Similarly, Liu Bei and the other two didn't go to reinforce Qingzhou, which was relatively far away.
This just so happened to provide Yang Rui with another choice! After thinking about it for a while, Yang Rui chose to participate in the "Oath of the Three in the Peach Garden" system event. He quickly teleported to the event location — Zhuo County, Youzhou.
After Liu Bei and the other two became sworn brothers in the Peach Garden, they would go down south and cause the final battle between the Han Court and Zhang Jiao to happen earlier. That was why Yang Rui chose to participate in the "Oath of the Three in the Peach Garden" historical event. Perhaps, he could fulfill the requirements of Zuo Feng's first quest. Yang Rui could be considered as a freeloader. From the beginning, Zuo Feng had only asked Yang Rui to "cause" the final battle to happen within 20 days. Even if the main credit was Liu Bei, as long as Yang Rui participated, it should be considered as "causing".
The system announcement had only been released for a few minutes. When Yang Rui arrived at Zhuo County, there were so many players there that he couldn't squeeze. In addition to the soldiers that were teleported along with the players, it was basically crowded.
"System Notification: Respected player, as you have brought too many soldiers with you, Zhuo County is temporarily unable to accommodate them. All the soldiers have been temporarily teleported ten miles away from the South Gate of Zhuo County. Please go and claim them. This situation is caused by the teleportation event. Before the soldiers can claim them, they will be protected by the system for one hour. Please claim them on time. "
This was the first time in the game that a teleportation event had occurred. One could see that Liu Bei, Guan Fei, and Zhang Jiao held a very high position in the hearts of the players.
Yang Rui spent a lot of effort to squeeze his way out of the crowd of players in Zhuo County. By the time Yang Rui had found the 1500 cavalrymen that he had brought along, the sky had already darkened. Yang Rui simply found a suitable location and settled down.
At that time, Yang Rui had already used the broken ship in the Black Dragon Lake to settle down the few leaders of the Yellow Turbans. Yang Rui had no choice but to take out a portion of the Yellow Turbans' talisman paper and set up a tent to accommodate all 1,500 riders. The rest of the soldiers could be placed in the Storage Ring to rest.
At night, there were many players who came to participate in the Oath of the Peach Garden event. In order to be safe, Yang Rui set up a tent about fifty to sixty miles away from Zhuo County. As the number of players increased, the area around Yang Rui was slowly filled with players. Based on the current area of the players, a conservative estimate would say that the number of players gathered in Zhuo County had exceeded one million. Moreover, the number of people was still increasing!
If they could cooperate with Liu Bei to eliminate the Yellow Turbans, they might be able to build a relationship with Liu, Guan, and Zhang. To normal players, this was a huge temptation. So, the number of players teleported there was naturally not a small number. However, most of these players did not expect that Zhuo County did not even have a place to stay. So, many of them were wandering around.
"Eh? There are so many horses. I wonder whose camp this is. Let's go take a look … "
"Let's go! Who knows, we might have some luck … "
Yang Rui's tent was quite big. Close to 1,500 horses were all placed together. So, from time to time, there would be some misunderstandings among the passing players. Yang Rui ignored them. But, he did not expect that the number of players gathered around the camp would increase. In the end, they surrounded Yang Rui's camp.
"That's not right. Look at this camp. It's all Yellow Turbans Talisman Tents. Why would the Han Dynasty army use Yellow Turbans Tents? That's strange … "
"Yeah! Could it be players? "
"No way! How can a player have so many high-grade cavalrymen?! "
“.....”
The surrounding players kept discussing. Yang Rui finally decided to find a way to leave this place and find another place to stay. However, the 150 or so Yellow Turbans Tents would be wasted. Although they were useful, most of them were limited to one use.
"Peach Garden has been discovered. Everyone, let's go take a look!"
"Peach Garden has been discovered …"
"Let's go! Let's go take a look … "
“.....”
At that moment, someone shouted. Almost all the players near Yang Rui's camp rushed towards the southeast. Some of the players in the inner circle also rushed out. Not long after, the surroundings of the camp quieted down.
