Chapter 358 My spiritual support is gone!
As Shan Zhongxue spoke, his fingers moved quickly.
Send the third generation patriarch [氪成祖] directly to the market to do business.
Barrage:
[Third Generation: Studying is too tiring, I want to make money]
[Krypton's Ancestor: The Trade Route is the Kingly Way]
[Liu Yunsheng: You Kryptonians are really afraid of me]
Game time just keeps passing by in the snowy mountain operation.
The third generation's business lines expanded very quickly, opening taverns, receiving warehouses, and interstate trade... Before they knew it, the family funds had tripled in just twenty years.
However, Shan Zhongxue was not idle either. While stabilizing the business, he also trained several supporting candidates to study and take the imperial examinations, thinking of it as a "double insurance". After all, hereditary points were too rare and he could not afford to fail again.
The shadow of the fourth generation has also begun to appear.
At the age of thirty, Kr Chengzu gave birth to his legitimate son Kr Yaozu, followed by his illegitimate son Kr Mingchuan.
It's getting later and later.
I don't know how many seasons have passed.
Shan Zhongxue, the fourth generation of the family, opened a restaurant in Bianhe and a warehouse at the dock.
He even bought land to build an ancestral hall.
The number of people in the live broadcast room has long been dropping from the initial tens of thousands.
At three o'clock in the morning, there were less than two thousand people left.
By half past four, it had fallen below one thousand.
But the rest of the audience are almost all die-hard fans, and although the comments in the chat area are sparse,
But it all feels like a night of cultivation:
[Sister Xue, I'm going to be late for work]
[This is the first time I recorded my girlfriend’s snoring, hahaha]
[This game is so weird, time flies by]
[The Krypton family is already in its fourth generation and I’m still awake, help!]
Until Ke Yaozu got married and had children, and Ke Mingchuan successfully passed the provincial examination,
After the pain in his fingers appeared, the time on the computer desk suddenly attracted Shan Zhongxue's attention.
05:35.
She was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked out the window, where a faint ray of morning light came in.
"...I played all night?"
The barrage began to make fun of it:
[Sister Krypton, you are already the fifth generation patriarch of the Krypton family]
Six generations, right? You can’t even count them all.
[Warning: Play until dawn]
[Hahaha, yes, Sister Xue, we have all started calling you Sister Krypton! ]
Shan Zhongxue rubbed his eyes, still a little dazed.
She just wanted to have some fun during her break, but ended up skipping several generations.
"This game...is such a time killer!"
The barrage instantly burst out in laughter:
【氪家 from ancient times to the present, anchor from late to early】
This game has you hooked
【Before I knew it, it was dawn】
[This game needs to be controlled, otherwise it is easy to die suddenly]
Shan Zhongxue stretched and decisively closed the game interface on his phone.
The room immediately became so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.
He leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
This feeling of being tired yet satisfied and empty has not come for a long time!
She climbed onto the bed, her mind still automatically replaying the stories of Ke Chengzu's account office, Ke Yaozu's wedding, and Ke Mingchuan's exam papers...
Even with my eyes closed, I could see those family members busy at work on the screen.
"Forget it, forget it. I have to catch up on some sleep today! If I keep playing, I'm afraid I'll have to report directly to my ancestral grave."
"...I must play less tomorrow..."
This was her last thought before she went to sleep, although she knew in her heart that tomorrow would probably be the same.
…
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Ming had already brewed the second pot of tea.
He opened the forum and short video platform to see if the discussion of "Song Mai Qian Deng" had changed overnight.
No need to look up the list, the answer is already in his face.
Hot search third:
#SongmaiQiandeng#
Hot search fifth:
#Hereditary Point#
Wow, it’s easy to be on the hot search this morning.
Lu Ming clicked on a random post, and all of them were on the same topic:
[Brothers, these hereditary points are too hard to earn, right? It took two generations of me to finally get 40 points!]
Is "Song Pulse Thousand Lamps" too difficult? The hereditary points are pitifully few!
[A generation works hard all their lives, and they only give them 10 points. How can I draw cards with that?!]
[Is the official deliberately slowing down the progress? ]
[Playing the third generation and still not enough for a ten-draw combo, whoever designed this mechanic, come forward!]
[This game relies on drawing cards, but the problem is that you don't even give me a chance!]
The replies below are varied:
"But that's the charm of slow-burning games. Not every generation can ascend to the highest level!"
"Love it or hate it, I still think we should give more!"
“When you make it to the seventh generation, you’ll fall in love with this sense of accumulation!”
"You stayed up all night? The pace is so fast?"
"I played until six o'clock before I accumulated enough cards for a ten-draw, but all they got were white cards!"
"Official, don't you feel any pangs of conscience?"
Lu Ming pursed his lips. This was the effect he wanted.
If you want the next generation to be better, you have to play longer.
If you want hereditary points, you have to keep accumulating them!
If that thing could be recharged, everyone would probably be showing it off on today’s trending searches!
However, there are also completely different voices emerging:
[I got a blue card after ten consecutive draws in the third generation, and it took off immediately!]
The video link under this reply quickly attracted Lu Ming's attention.
The video opens with a male anchor with a smug expression:
"Everyone, watch carefully, the European Emperor is just that simple!"
In the screen, a blue light flashed, and [Tiger Guard Commander Blue Card] suddenly appeared.
The attributes directly blind the audience's eyes:
[Force +30, battle victory rate +5%, can trigger the "Tiger Roar" skill (troop morale +5%)]
The barrage exploded instantly:
[This card is awesome! Leading troops in battle is second to none!]
[I'm jealous. Is this the value of a blue card?]
[Then this Tiger Guard Commander is directly invincible! ]
The anchor excitedly showed the military route.
The Tiger Guard Commander brought his family soldiers and fought from small bandits all the way to the border, and was invincible.
In less than three months of game time, this blue card character has won dozens of victories and made great military achievements.
The whole family is thriving under Lan Ka's leadership!
Moreover, the anchor also directly unlocked a special plot through the hereditary points, the bandit suppression in the north!
Next, the map of the northern border was spread out, with red dots densely distributed between the vast mountain ranges.
The host waved his hand and sent the Tiger Guard Commander to the front line to attack the thieves' lair along the official road.
Various battle reports appeared.
[The Tiger Guard Commander launches "Tiger Roar", the entire army's morale +5%, and the attack power is increased]
[Victory Rewards: Military Merit +200, Reputation +150, Random Loot]
[Victory in the battle! Military Merit +210, Reputation +160, and the loot "Golden Eagle Helmet"!]
Barrage of comments:
“This card is awesome!”
"A blue card is a blue card. The pressure is so intense!"
"My family really needs a blue card!"
But soon, the plot took a sudden turn for the worse.
[Special Event Trigger: Night Raid]
The remaining Black Mane Bandits sneaked into the camp at night, attempting to assassinate the commander.
The screen went black, and a few lines of rapid system prompts flashed by—
The Tiger Guards fought hard and killed three enemy bandits.
[The Tiger Guard Commander was fatally wounded by an arrow and fell to the ground seriously injured]
[Send a medical officer to treat (30% success rate) / Give up]
The anchor clicked "Treatment" without hesitation.
The screen went black and a cold prompt popped up:
[Commander Tiger Wing died of his injuries in the army]
The live broadcast room was silent for three seconds, and then the comments were all:
What is this?!?
[Just... that's it? ]
This game is too cruel
[Military Merit Line Directly Cut in Half]
[Can a blue card still die???]
[Fuck, my spiritual support is gone]
[This game is too sharp]
【Can I survive by paying money?】
The host was stunned on the spot, and after a long while he managed to utter:
"Brothers, I...I want to be alone."
The system calmly calculated the results.
But the family without the blue card is also in danger.
[The family loses a core member, the morale of the entire army is -10%, combat effectiveness decreases, and reputation decreases]
Without the support of the Tiger Guard Commander, the entire family's military line collapsed in an instant.
The elite troops originally stationed at the border saw their combat effectiveness drop to a lower level due to a sudden drop in morale.
The bandits who were previously crushed now started to fight in a stalemate, and even suffered several defeats.
The system pushes prompts mercilessly:
[The northern defense line is in crisis, and the garrison is forced to retreat]
[Military Merit -50, Reputation -80 due to retreat]
[People on the border are displaced, and the family reputation is reduced by 30]
The barrage immediately exploded:
[Fuck, is this the price of losing your commander?]
[The blue card is gone, and the consequences are written on my face]
[Planner: You want realism, right? I’ll give you the most realistic one.]
[This game doesn't follow the idea of a fun game at all]
The anchor was speechless while operating:
"It's over... It's really over now. My military line is completely broken."
In the screen, the general column of the family interface is empty, and the remaining few generals have a force value of barely above 10.
If you take it out, it's like delivering food.
What's worse is that the family is now short of funds because almost all the early resources for business and imperial examinations were invested in the military.
The system made matters worse:
Due to the tense border situation, family expenses have increased, and monthly funds have been reduced by 20%.
[Due to the death of a core family member, rumors spread that the family has fallen on hard times. Reputation decay rate +5%]
The anchor looked at the falling values and could only shrug his shoulders:
"Brothers, this wave is going to be a disaster."
