Li Huan took a sip of water and began to speak eloquently.
He succinctly articulated his strategic vision: "Alliance with Sun Quan against Cao Cao, first take Jingzhou as our base, then take Yizhou to form a tripartite balance of power, and finally conquer the Central Plains to achieve hegemony."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly understood and became extremely excited.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to praise Zhuge Liang's strategy or Li Huan's divination skills.
The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand trembled slightly.
He never expected that his carefully considered "business plan" would be so thoroughly understood by a food vendor.
This person's divination skills are so advanced, who exactly is he?
Li Huan asked with a smile, "Mr. Kongming, how accurate was my calculation of your secret?"
Zhuge Liang was sincerely convinced, bowed deeply, and expressed his admiration.
Li Huan looked up at the sky, feigning a profound posture.
“I observed the celestial phenomena last night and foresee that Liu Biao will soon fall ill and die. As for Liu Zhang’s territory, it will eventually belong to Liu Huangshu (Liu the Imperial Uncle).”
Zhuge Liang exclaimed in amazement: "Brother Huan is not only proficient in divination, but also skilled in astrology. I am ashamed to admit that I am no match for him!"
Li Huan chuckled to himself, thinking, "No matter how brilliant Zhuge Liang is, he would never have guessed that I'm a time traveler from the 21st century!"
Liu Bei stared intently at Li Huan, then suddenly knelt down, tears welling in his eyes, and bowed respectfully.
“Mr. Li Huan, I was blind and did not know that you were a reclusive master… I was confused before and neglected you!”
"I implore Mr. Li Huan to serve as my strategist, to help me restore the Han Dynasty, to jointly plan for hegemony, and to bring blessings to all people!"
Li Huan waved his hand, declining the offer directly.
"I have no interest in fighting, infighting, or territorial disputes. I just want to be a quiet stall owner, wandering around and selling boxed lunches."
"Master Kongming possesses extraordinary talent and the ability to turn the tide of history. He is fully capable of assisting Liu Bei in establishing a state in Shu!"
After saying that, Li Huan quickly packed up the makeshift dining table and put it into the electric tricycle, then handed the remaining ten boxed meals to Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu stared at the red electric tricycle and asked curiously.
"This carriage is strange; how can it be driven by horses?"
Li Huan smiled without answering, and immediately demonstrated by getting into the car and turning the key.
Beep beep!
Accompanied by a loud horn blare, Li Huan drove his electric tricycle forward.
Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Hahaha, this chariot doesn't need horses!"
Guan Yu and Liu Bei exclaimed, "What an amazing chariot!"
Zhuge Liang was utterly shocked as he watched the speeding electric tricycle!
Without the need for horses or pedals, this tricycle can move automatically and at a very high speed!
In the blink of an eye, Li Huan drove back.
Zhuge Liang quickly clasped his hands in a respectful bow and asked, "Brother Huan, may I ask how this chariot, with its unique shape, was constructed?"
Li Huan knew that Zhuge Liang was an avid inventor and had created the famous "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse" to transport grain for the 100,000-strong army of Shu Han.
Therefore, he must have been eyeing the electric tricycle.
Li Huan laughed and said, "This is called an electric tricycle. Its structure is very complex and cannot be explained in a few words. As for the battery inside the vehicle, you can't build it either."
"Electric vehicle? Battery..." Zhuge Liang muttered the unfamiliar terms.
Li Huan urged, "Uncle Liu, don't waste time, hurry up and pay the bill!"
Liu Bei quickly instructed Zhang Fei to take down the bundle and respectfully hand it to Li Huan.
Unpacking the bundle revealed gleaming gold ingots.
Li Huan felt relieved and put the bundle into the carriage.
Ding! The system notification sounded.
[Congratulations, Master! You have successfully completed the first task in "Traveling Through the Three Kingdoms"!]
The 100 taels of gold earned can be exchanged for real-world currency at any time!
Li Huan decided to confirm the redemption after returning to the real world.
[Attention Master, the second quest for "Traveling Through the Three Kingdoms" has been issued!]
[He set up a food stall in front of the Prime Minister's residence and earned two hundred taels of gold from Cao Cao!]
Li Huan was stunned.
Holy crap, the system really knows how to play tricks. It just made money off Liu Bei, and now it's making money off Cao Cao!
[Mission successful! Not only can you exchange 200 taels of gold for currency, but your electric tricycle will also be upgraded!]
[Mission failed; the system will deduct 100 taels of gold earned from Liu Bei!]
Li Huan thought to himself, "I absolutely cannot fail, otherwise all my efforts will have been in vain. Besides, the tricycle really does need an upgrade!"
"Uncle Liu, I'll put the fifty taels of gold you owe on my tab and settle the account with you another day!"
Liu Bei hurriedly pleaded, "Sir, come with me to Xinye! Not to mention fifty taels of gold, even five hundred or five thousand taels, I will give it to you!"
Li Huan sighed inwardly, "My job is to sell boxed lunches to make money, not to help you conquer the world and make money."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Li Huan, let's go to Xinye! I can eat delicious boxed lunches and drink refreshing beer every day!"
Zhuge Liang quickly cupped his hands in invitation: "Brother Huan, would you do me the honor of staying at my humble abode for a few days? Afterwards, I will accompany you to Xinye."
Clearly, Zhuge Liang hoped that Li Huan would stay so that he could take the opportunity to learn from him.
Li Huan said, "No, I must hurry to Xuchang, set up a stall to sell boxed lunches, and earn Cao Cao's two hundred taels of gold!"
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Liu Bei cautioned, "That scoundrel Cao is inherently suspicious, ruthless, and cruel. Why would he pay two hundred taels of gold for a boxed lunch?"
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Brother, you are absolutely right. Cao Cao is extremely cautious and would never eat food sold on the street!"
Zhang Fei said, "Brother, we must not let Li Huan go to Xuchang. If he is recruited by Cao Cao and becomes Cao Cao's strategist, wouldn't that be terrible?"
Liu Bei's shoulders trembled, and a look of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said, "Brother Huan, I love delicious food and I love traveling. If you don't mind, I'm willing to go to Xuchang with you to help you sell boxed lunches and earn Cao Cao's gold."
