Zhang Ertian then realized that he really was as General Chen had said, agile on his feet and always able to find some hiding places.
"If it were me, I would hide here, here, and here."
Following the same line of thought he had used to evade the head of the teaching department and the homeroom teacher, Zhang Ertian immediately realized where he would be least likely to be caught, and if he were discovered, where he could run away without revealing a second hiding place.
Chen Ai glanced at Zhang Ertian. This guy had really improved rapidly. Before, when she asked him questions, he always stammered and said he didn't know anything. But now he could talk a lot, and he didn't seem tired at all when he was running around surveying the terrain. He could come back with ideas after running around for a while. She really didn't know that the generals of Wu hadn't discovered this talent before.
"You did a great job."
Zhang Ertian felt a little proud after being praised. He wasn't completely useless; he was quite useful after all.
Xie Yanhua stood to the side, his eyebrows and eyes looking unfocused. He had some impression of this kid who had rejected him before, though not deeply. But now, if it weren't for the kid's stupid look after being praised, he would really suspect that Zhang Ertian had been playing dumb to fool him.
This girl is clearly a perfect spy! If he had known earlier that Chen Ai could have escaped to his territory in Wu, he would have eaten her alive!
Xie Yanhua's eyes swept over the many people standing to the side.
Xu Shu shuddered, but when he looked up and met Xie Yanhua's gaze, he wasn't intimidated at all. He immediately rolled his eyes. He was now working for General Chen! Who was he glaring at?! Just a military governor! Be careful, or he'd get the general to make things difficult for Xie Yanhua! Humph, he still had to write a letter to Lord Jiang, to say a lot of bad things about Xie Yanhua!
Xie Yanhua was even angrier when she saw that the other party dared to glare back.
Madam Gao took Wang Wu to the State of Zheng, and Xie Yanhua, whose money had become slightly more readily available, once again tightened his belt. Wang Wu was richer than him, which made Xie Yanhua very unhappy, but fortunately, his grand plan was nearing completion.
As a result, Xie Yanhua's plans were progressing smoothly, but he was suddenly stunned by the news that Cao Wei was going to be sent as an envoy to the State of Zheng.
Cao Wei couldn't explain it, but the longer she stayed here, the less she could treat this place as a show. The people around her weren't robots; they had emotions, and the contestants would interact with them.
At first, Jiang Gong was very suspicious of her, but he was actually a person who liked to sneak out to go fishing and often came back empty-handed. The cook in the manor was a cheerful person who would always chat with others for a while whenever she went to the market to buy groceries. She knew everything that was going on and what was happening on the street.
The carriage driver was an orphan high school student who saved up his daily tips and secretly counted them one by one while waiting for her. Cao Wei guessed that these tips could perhaps be exchanged for real currency.
Many soldiers would disappear from the barracks for a period of time each day to check the pulses and minor ailments of nearby villagers. Cao Wei bumped into them once, and many were a little embarrassed and shy at the time. That's when she had this idea.
She hoped for a peaceful resolution. Based on their last encounter, Ji Rong wasn't an unapproachable person.
[I really didn't expect Ji Rong to eventually agree to surrender with Cao Wei.]
I thought there was going to be a big battle!
[The fighting was so intense, both sides were preparing for battle, and they just surrendered like that?!]
Actually, I think it's better if there's no war. Compared to the NPCs changing every day, seeing familiar faces is more reassuring. War is just too turbulent.
That's true, but I really didn't expect Cao Wei to be able to persuade Ji Rong. I can understand her persuading Feng Mei, since Feng Mei only wants to do business and doesn't want to fight.
Ji Rong felt a bit uneasy. Like Cao Wei said, the prize money was 100 million yuan, and the survivors would split it, so it wouldn't be a small amount. If a real fight broke out and he lost, he would have nothing.
Shouldn't we be taking a big gamble now?!
[Let's gamble on something big. Honestly, with less than ten people sharing the prize money right now, it's already pretty good.]
[Would Xie Yanhua agree to this?! It seems like Xie Yanhua probably wants to eliminate all of these people.]
Whether he agrees or not is unimportant. Think about it carefully: if you were the ruler, would you choose to let the enemy surrender without firing a single shot, or to fight to the death and then win? You would definitely let Cao Wei try. After all, there's no cost to trying.
[Haha, judging from the Wu king's final expression, he probably didn't expect Zheng to agree.]
[Actually, I think it was expected that Zheng would agree, given their inferior military strength and population. Wu had just annexed Zhao, and Han was even further behind. If Zheng really wanted to fight, they probably wouldn't last long.]
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't get a break until the recording ended and the winners of the Wu Kingdom's unification of the world were tallied and awarded prizes. She had been working incredibly hard during that time, having to go to work every day. While other staff members could take shifts or get time off, she had none of that.
Of course, it's not that people can't take leave, it's just that there were Lü He, Cao Wei, Hou Mengmeng, and Zhang Ertian in the middle, and they were all incredibly troublesome.
Lu He is just an excitable character and needs to be closely monitored. After all, he came up with the idea of making Hou Mengmeng a concubine and was certain the production team wouldn't dare. This not only made Lin Xiaoxiao anxious behind the monitor, fearing they might do something unbroadcast and get it banned, but she also worried they might harass the NPC playing the King of Han.
These NPCs are all quite old; they're always on edge while working, having to maintain their characters while also being careful that these contestants might accidentally do something terrible to them.
Later, when Hou Mengmeng faked a pregnancy and found a child, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that they should destroy it as soon as possible, but they had already turned a blind eye to it before, and now they couldn't do it.
These people really exploited a bug, and Cao Wei, who came later, was the real bug herself.
The production team couldn't communicate with these NPCs in real time, and Cao Wei immediately discovered this loophole, finding an identity to impersonate them.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't mean to deny it; she just felt that these contestants were getting more and more cunning each year, and she was really exhausted by all the wits and courage involved.
Lin Xiaoxiao decided to take a long vacation and planned to go out, but when she woke up the next day, she just lay in bed playing on her phone and playing games, and didn't want to go out at all.
But as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao stopped working and started to rest, Li Yishan became a little panicked, fearing that he might be approached for investment again someday. He was truly terrified of being exploited.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao hasn't shown up yet, it doesn't mean she won't. We still need to find something for Lin Xiaoxiao to do.
Li Yishan was thinking this when a person popped into his mind.
