Chapter 436 New Game Version
Kangxi didn't notice the problem with the name in the game, or rather, he didn't care about it at all; initially, he simply let the system randomly assign one. It was meant to conceal his identity, though there was really no need for it.
Of course, he didn't know that the so-called randomness also included a "designated name change card".
In addition, he doesn't need to speak in the group if he has something to say. The existence of the Xiaomengge group is just to give him another way to understand the work of others.
After Kangxi, based on the existing points, another 20 people were selected from the newly rich in the court to participate in the game test.
At this time, Kangxi's focus was still largely on the Eight Banners. However, it can only be said that the Eight Banners were indeed not very capable; this was the first time two people had died while qualifying for the preliminary selection.
The news of the death made the atmosphere in Xiaomeng Pavilion much more somber and serious.
Although we were on high alert beforehand, everyone unconsciously relaxed a lot because there hadn't been any bloodshed.
It wasn't until death actually occurred that they realized that "The Nightmare of the Red Chamber" was not a pure blessing, but a challenge where danger and opportunity coexisted.
Immediately afterwards, Kangxi entered the second round of team tasks, emerged from the game without any major incidents, and began to tackle "Baoyu's School Days".
Then he was so angry at Baoyu's words "pockmarked" that he suddenly realized that his name was easily associated with "pockmarked face".
Just when Yinzhi and the others thought he would change his name, Kangxi stubbornly refused to do so!
I don't know if it was to cover up something or to motivate myself.
Anyway, Kangxi became more determined with each setback, and his evaluations went from "sloppy and muddled" to "old" to "a filthy man." In short, Jia Baoyu's mouth was very consistent, and he didn't let Jia Baoyu off the hook at all.
Seeing that Kangxi's mood was so low it was almost explosive, there was no other way but for Yinzhi to step in. He took Yinzhi and his "muddy older brother" Yinzhi inside and introduced them to Baoyu as his "unappreciated" father and his "muscular" older brother.
To prevent his younger brother from sleeping on a straw mat, eating steamed buns, and wearing tattered clothes, Jia Baoyu reluctantly accepted the two of them.
However, compared to ignoring Yinzhi, he couldn't help but glare at Kangxi every time he saw him.
Kangxi: "..."
How dare you! How outrageous!
Unfortunately, he had to rely on Jia Baoyu's influence to attend classes, which made Kangxi's face turn pale with frustration. He was completely unaware that his good sons were laughing heartily in their little group chat.
【Xiaomeng Pavilion (37)】
[Call me Big Brother: Hahaha]
[“Call me Big Brother” retracts a message]
[Guang Linzi: ? ?]
...
【The Chosen One (8)】
[Stutterer ate your rice: What did I tell you? @Call me Big Brother]
[Whoever it is: @Call me Big Brother]
[Four is four: @Call me big brother]
[Refusing medicinal cuisine starts with me: No need to tag me, I'm busy walking around the pillar, I don't have time to reply]
[Whoever it is: Coming right away]
[Four is four: Here it comes]
[666: On-site report, Grandpa Liang's whisk looks very useful, and Big Brother looks very durable]
[Mongolians don't speak Chinese: Indeed, my brother should take a lesson with me.]
...
Apart from Yinzhi receiving a baptism of dust, everything proceeded very smoothly.
But if things went smoothly, it wouldn't be interesting enough, and Yinzhi naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
How could everything be under control? We've got it from the top down, now it's time to get it from the bottom up.
[The Nightmare of the Red Chamber 2.0 Officially Launched]
A dream of the Red Chamber, a sorrow shared by all beauties.
[Welcome to the pre-selection stage. Please draw your identity card and complete the initial tasks.]
Soetu stood in the pure white space for a moment, stunned. So where did Tong Guowei bring him this time? Instead of using a sack, he's performing a shamanistic ritual?
Did you think he would be afraid?
After circling the space and confirming that it was beyond human capability and impossible to escape, Songgotu thought: Okay, he was a little scared, but not much! What hadn't Songgotu seen? He could do it!
What did I just ask him to do? Draw cards? How do I draw cards...?
[Time's up, if the pre-selected player takes no action, the system will automatically draw a card.]

"Xing'er, what are you daydreaming about? Master Lian is looking for you."
In a moment of distraction, Suo'etu, who was being shoved, instinctively shoved back, "How dare you! What do you think you are..."
As Suo'etu regained consciousness, his voice grew fainter and fainter. He saw the servant opposite him grinning from ear to ear, the corners of his mouth stretching ever wider until they bled, yet he continued to smile.
"You are not Xing'er."
[Warning! The error rate is 21%, 22%...]
You have triggered battle royale mode. Good luck!
Suo'etu swallowed hard and took two steps back. "I'm someone who's fought against Ao Bai, what's a mere servant like me..."
At this moment, the doors of the rooms on both sides of the corridor were opened, and one after another, smiling maids and servants came out, staring straight at Suo'etu.
"I'm afraid? Do you think it's just a matter of two, four, eight..."
Soetu, who seemed ready to confront them head-on, had already run three miles away, though his voice still lingered in the air. He wasn't afraid; this was a case of pragmatism being the wise thing to do.
The Qing Dynasty couldn't do without him, so he ran away first!
...
[Congratulations on drawing the identity card "Ping'er (Temporary)". Initial quests have been generated.]

When Hesheli Wanyi opened her eyes again, she found herself standing at the door, dressed in a maid's uniform, following a young woman with a head full of red hairpins into the house.
In broad daylight, a series of lewd and obscene words could be heard coming from inside the house.
She couldn't help but frown, but the torment of years of living in the backyard quickly calmed her down, and she analyzed the situation calmly.
"It would be great if your devilish wife died sooner or later."
"She's dead, so what if you marry someone else? It'll all be the same."
"She's dead. You've made Ping'er your official wife. Maybe that'll be better."
"Now even Ping'er won't let me get involved. Ping'er is also full of grievances but dares not say anything."
Hesheli Wanyi quickly extracted information from the conversation inside the house, and saw the young woman in front of her angrily push open the door and rush in.
"Jia Lian! You heartless bastard! I've worked tirelessly for this family, worrying myself sick and heartbroken, and you do this disgraceful thing on my birthday? How can you face me like this?"
Enraged, Jia Lian shoved Wang Xifeng aside and roared, "You shrew! Haven't you been controlling enough of me all this time? Now you even want to interfere with my fun? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Wang Xifeng stumbled, but Wanyi quickly caught her.
If the Emperor's sudden investigation of Longkodo's harem gave her a chance to start over, then after entering this game, Wanyi quickly realized that this was her hope for a rise.
Even though she escaped Longkodo's backyard, and even though the Emperor made the decision for her, in the eyes of outsiders, she was a discarded woman who had been divorced and returned home, her reputation ruined. In the entire Hesheli household, only her mother still cared about her.
But her mother also advised her to endure it. Why? Why should she, the victim, have to endure it when it was clearly Longkodo who was in the wrong?
Just because she is a woman?
But games don't discriminate between men and women.
With her ambition growing, Wan Yi didn't hesitate much and made a bold move. She directly drew a long sword hanging on the side of the room and handed it to Wang Xifeng.
Wan Yi: "He can't control his lower body, you do it."
Jia Lian silently adjusted his clothes and leaned back.
Enraged, Wang Xifeng stammered, "Me? Me?"
