Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: The Mysterious Game Console and the Battle of Kunyang (Part 2)

"Which company's masterpiece is this?"

Gu Yi was astonished. Although the game hadn't started yet, just this one scene already made Gu Yi feel that this game was extraordinary.

But how is this game supposed to be played?

There's not even a control button on this machine.

Gu Yi reached out and tapped on the screen, but there was no reaction.

At this moment, the man on the screen directly looked at him and spoke.

"Are you all willing to follow me, Liu Xiu, to attack Kunyang?"

Liu Xiu?

Emperor Guangwu of Han?

Marching to Kunyang, is this during the time Liu Xiu moved his troops before the Battle of Kunyang?

Gu Yi's knowledge of history was quite good; at least he remembered some of the information from the books, and a corresponding memory suddenly surged in his mind.

But precisely because of this, he was even more shocked.

Goodness, the game has started with such a grand scene?

According to historical records.

In the Battle of Kunyang, the New Army had at least hundreds of thousands of people.

Starting with such a grand scale right at the beginning?

Gu Yi suddenly had some expectations, silently waiting for the novice tutorial.

The next moment, a prompt popped up again.

"[Detected that the player is a novice; a novice gift pack is specially issued.]

"[Novice gift pack opened successfully.]

"[Drawing chance +1,]"

"[Do you want to draw now?]"

"Drawing?"

Gu Yi never expected that the game hadn't even started yet, and such a prompt had already popped up.

Although drawing has become a feature of domestic games now.

But generally speaking, shouldn't players enjoy the game first before such a draw prompt pops up?

Isn't this game a bit too inconsiderate?

The expectation that had just arisen instantly diminished a bit, but Gu Yi still clicked to draw immediately.

After all, no one would refuse a freebie.

"[Drawing successful.]"

There wasn't even a lottery UI displayed; the prompt popped up in an instant.

"[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: Divine Level Item - Celestial Phenomenon Card, which has been stored in your backpack.]

"[(Divine) Celestial Phenomenon Card: After use, it can occasionally trigger various celestial phenomena, and the time spent each time will vary depending on the effect, with unspecified effects (examples: meteor showers, landslides, solar and lunar eclipses, etc...)]

"[Novice gift pack opened successfully.]

"[No achievement points are required to integrate the character this time, would you like to integrate immediately?]"

"[Note: Integrating the character means the game officially begins; during this time, the game cannot be paused or restarted until the game fails.]"

"Cannot pause, cannot restart, even includes drawing, and there's not even a UI animation for the drawing?"

"Is it just purely forcing people to spend money?"

Gu Yi lost all affection for it.

He could even directly predict the subsequent development.

It's nothing more than creating a touching animation with the so-called divine level item.

Then use the hardcore feature of the game being unable to restart or pause to make money, encouraging players to spend money on the lottery.

It's all old tricks of the operators.

Gu Yi naturally wouldn't fall for it.

"No wonder it's not being widely promoted, otherwise it would get scolded to death."

He casually clicked yes, and then Gu Yi didn't even wait for the screen to change, he directly opened the backpack interface on the screen.

He selected the only item card in his backpack.

Without any hesitation, he chose to use it.

This kind of game was clearly not suitable for someone like him who doesn't even have a job now.

Instead of not spending money and letting the experts bully him, he might as well take advantage of the operator's freebies.

Regardless, enjoy it first!

Let's see how much he can mess up.

"[Use successful.]"

The prompt appeared again, but as Gu Yi had guessed, there was no animation.

Everything remained calm and quiet.

At this moment, the Liu Xiu on the screen seemed to see that Gu Yi had not responded for a while, his face filled with anxiety as he spoke again:

"Gentlemen."

"Wang Mang is tyrannical, usurping the throne and harming the people."

"Now my brother is attacking Wan City but has yet to succeed. If Kunyang falls, it won't take a day before all regions will surely be broken by the enemy, one by one."

"Rather than that, why not fight to the death?"

"How can a real man be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

This Liu Xiu was already quite handsome, and paired with his armor, he appeared exceptionally heroic and extraordinary.

And the key was that this scene had obviously been studied by the development team.

Just as Liu Xiu's words fell,

A ray of sunshine happened to pierce through the clouds and fall on him, illuminating him like a god.

The sound of people discussing arose at that moment.

It seemed like the surrounding soldiers were debating whether to follow Liu Xiu or not.

Gu Yi wasn't as expectant as before, but he still wanted to wait for the option to come out and choose to see the subsequent development.

But at this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out, and then Gu Yi's mother's voice calling for dinner came in from outside.

Seeing that no choice had popped up yet, Gu Yi casually said:

"I'll go with you, I'll go with you."

"Who else to follow if not Liu Xiu at this time?"

With that, he directly tossed the game machine onto the bed and, holding his phone, directly walked out. .....

....

At the dinner table.

Gu Yi was drinking porridge while scrolling through Douyin.

"Have you heard of the legendary millennial family?"

At this time, Gu Yi came across a video from a public account that introduced a family.

Even though Gu Yi didn't know if it was true or false.

He still watched it.

That's the charm of public accounts, primarily aiming to catch the eye.

But unexpectedly, as the video ended, he heard the voice of Old Gu beside him.

"Only a few hundred years old... why is it boasted so much?"

Gu Yi looked at Old Gu in surprise, never expecting Old Gu would even engage in this kind of conversation, and he explained:
