Chapter 238: Chapter 150: [Hongmen Banquet Showdown] Liu Bang: That’s Freaking Xiang Yu! (7k Double-Length)
For the Han Dynasty, Wei Ze had just been beheaded by Ma Yuan, leaving a significant shadow.
But what if it could be nipped in the bud before the Han Dynasty ever appeared?
It doesn’t seem impossible, does it?
The Chu-Han contention.
That means the strength of ’Chu’ is also formidable, why not try choosing the ’Chu’ camp?
The viewers in the livestream also agreed unanimously.
In other livestreams, discussions about choosing Chu or Han were ongoing.
The game is scheduled to go live in two days.
As public opinion spread, it also attracted many players from other circles or history enthusiasts.
After all, the original "World War II: Empire’s Rise" mainly attracted young people, while the audience for the [Chinese History Series] was unlimited.
According to the CG graphics, even the elderly can enjoy the [Chinese History Series].
Choose the identity of a wealthy old man, find a paradise, row boats, fish, just like real-world fishing, with many species not found on Blue Star.
This game attracted quite a few fishing enthusiasts alone.
Everyone is waiting for the game to launch in two days.
....
Two days later.
As the time reaches 10 a.m.
Polestar’s historical category game, [Huaxia] was officially released.
Great Xia Federation, Kyoto University.
Inside the history department’s teaching building.
In the top-floor professor’s office, several Virtual Body Sensing Pods have already been arranged, a professor named Qi Hui, about 50 years old, lay inside one of them.
Next to him, a young student named Chen Feng lay in another Virtual Body Sensing Pod, fiddling with the livestream display.
As the game launched.
The old professor Qi Hui urged:
"Hurry up, stop messing with your livestream."
"The game has launched."
"Team up, team up."
Chen Feng, just finishing setting up the livestream, quickly responded:
"Coming, coming."
Despite Qi Hui’s age, the virtual helmet had been around for about two hundred years, and the Virtual Body Sensing Pod for over a hundred years, Qi Hui was naturally proficient from his youth.
At this moment, he operated the Virtual Body Sensing Pod to download games skillfully, even more adept than the younger Chen Feng.
If it weren’t for Chen Feng wanting to livestream to earn some funds for the history department, Qi Hui would have gone in to play by himself long ago.
There’s no other choice.
History had mostly been obliterated due to meteor showers, and only fragments of artifacts were occasionally excavated, not even enough to piece together a complete history.
So the funding for the history department was constantly minimal.
Most who chose this field did so out of passion, and with an opportunity to earn, Qi Hui could only agree.
What if it really takes off?
What Qi Hui didn’t realize was that he indeed became popular... because Chen Feng named the livestream
[Great Xia Federation’s Top Historian Takes You on a Journey Through Ancient Huaxia!]
Great Xia Federation, top historian, journey through ancient Huaxia.
Each of these could be a hot topic to attract viewers, so as soon as Chen Feng started streaming, many people flooded in, although Chen Feng initiated the stream on a whim.
He hadn’t even figured out how to switch scenes or handle bullet comments, forgetting all about the livestream as they entered the game.
As this master-student pair teamed up for their historical journey.
They chose [Immersive Plot] mode, looking at various identities, Qi Hui pondered for a moment.
If experiencing ancient times, it’s best to start from the grassroots.
Only the daily life of the commoners can reflect the social environment of that era, albeit it’s a game, it’s a test of its attention to detail.
Recalling the Warring States plot they had seen before, the game’s detail aspect should be fine.
Don’t let him down....
After making the selection, Chen Feng, heeding the professor’s suggestion, chose the commoner role.
The screen flashed.
A scorching wave rushed in.
What met the eyes was loess and piles of stones.
Crack!
A whip’s crack echoed from afar, followed by anguished cries and the curses of construction overseers.
Qi Hui looked down at himself, dressed in coarse cloth, with a pile of stones underfoot, mimicking the motions of those around to lift the stones while observing the surroundings.
At this moment.
Chen Feng’s voice sounded beside him, whispering:
"Professor."
"Isn’t this incorrect?"
"Didn’t we choose commoners?"
"How did we become slaves?"
Both entered with their real appearances, making recognition easy.
Qi Hui surveyed the surroundings and said:
"What slaves?"
"We should be... serving labor."
"Those over there are the slaves."
With that, Qi Hui gestured for Chen Feng to look toward where the whip sounds were coming from.
Chen Feng looked.
Indeed, those people were scantily clad, each emaciated, and watching them lift stones, it seemed like their bodies might snap under the weight at any moment.
Whereas their group was dressed in sackcloth, appearing somewhat healthier in comparison, though not by much.
After observing, Chen Feng turned his head back, saying quietly:
"Professor."
"I know about corvee labor, but are we just going to keep doing this?"
Playing a game to carry bricks, are they insane?!
Who designed this!
Qi Hui also wasn’t sure:
"Just keep working for now."
"There should be a... skip option in this game?"
"Besides, what’s wrong with doing some work?"
"These tasks can’t be done on Blue Star, they can toughen your resolve."
"So you don’t complain incessantly over little headaches or colds."
"Just keep at it."
Chen Feng’s mouth twitched, not daring to retort.
Fine... let’s work.
The two of them worked from the game’s blazing noon sun until evening darkness began to fall.
Fortunately, the in-game time flows faster, or they truly couldn’t have persevered.
At that moment, the Blue Star viewers in the livestream were utterly baffled.
