Chapter 1087: 738

The Tang Dynasty’s contact came much sooner than Li Changhe had anticipated.

It had only been two days since Li Changhe completed the Xuan City mission.

The Tang Dynasty had already sent official inquiries, asking about information related to the Second Empire, which clearly indicated they had made contact with the Protectorate and discovered the once-existing Chenhai Empire.

It seemed they wanted to confirm the actions of Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and their subordinates’ rebellion through Li Changhe.

"This efficiency is somewhat too rapid. We had just left, and they already reached the Chenhai Continent?" Li Changhe wondered.

"No, after the Tang Dynasty gained player identities, their time span with our real world gradually converged," Chen Yu explained. "But there is still quite a gap, considering we left the Tang Dynasty less than two months ago, and they have already experienced about a year’s time. Higher-level players have appeared, so it’s possible to encounter our colleagues in the storyline. Although we’ve been away from Xuan City for just two days, for them, it might have been half a month. With the coordinates already known, finding the Protectorate is not difficult."

Worlds that obtain player identities will gradually bring their time span in line with the real world.

Originally, the time span between the Tang Dynasty and the real world was immense; a few months in the real world equated to thirty years there. But now, the time span is shrinking.

"This is also why Emperor Qin Shi Huang is able to be so powerful," Xiao Nan also said. "During the time when the time span was being leveled, he used the nation’s resources to support the players and strongly ordered the advancement of the Great Qin’s technology. In a short time, he dominated the world in that timeline. An Evil God sensed the danger and sent its Believers to fund the Roman Empire of that time and space. Unfortunately, it was too late; Great Qin had already completed a technological explosion. Hence, they gained even more player identities from the Chaos Believers. The latest news is that Emperor Qin Shi Huang has encountered a robot factory and has defeated and captured it."

"Robot factories..." Li Changhe couldn’t help but sigh.

A robot factory, being a Terror Devil, requires the strength of a Demigod to destroy.

Yet the original robot factory, even more powerful, still couldn’t stand against Emperor Qin Shi Huang...

Just how powerful had he become?

However, this wasn’t something Li Changhe needed to worry about yet. When the time came for the task of the Eternal Throne, he would consider if there was something he could take advantage of.

Now, the players of the Tang Dynasty had already successfully contacted official players in a certain mission and immediately sent a message inquiring about General Li Ba.

"Just tell them that there is no such thing as a Second Empire. That’s the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it’s the disconnected Expeditionary Army or the mysterious great fire, it’s all the means of the Evil God to sow discord," Li Changhe replied. "Also, tell them to send my regards to my foster father."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, conveyed the message to the headquarters, and through them, assigned players to enter the designated mission to pass the message to the Tang Dynasty players.

Li Changhe, as the Tian Ce General of the Tang Dynasty, establishing a Tang Protectorate in another world.

The issue could be big or small, but considering the Tang Emperor’s attitude toward Li Changhe, the Tang Dynasty would probably have to accept it, albeit grudgingly.

As for the Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate... it was at most a title. After all, Li Changhe wasn’t in that world, so the specific affairs would have to be handled by the Tang court.

After all this was resolved, Li Changhe returned to his family’s apartment.

This exchange had been very fruitful, further perfecting Li Changhe’s tactics.

It gave Li Changhe more confidence in the upcoming [Hundred Generals Sword Test]. Even if he encountered some extremely perverse players, he was confident that he could compete, and securing a spot shouldn’t be difficult.

Li Changhe was very eager to get his hands on a Nine-Turns Resurrection Pill.

However, before that, Li Changhe was more eager to find an opportunity to take down Tang Lai and get the Tianyan Association’s intel from him.

Unfortunately, both the officials and the Extraordinary Association had yet to provide any further recent intel.

In the meantime, all he could do was wait.

So, Li Changhe took Xiao Nan back to his house to continue applying medicine to her.

However... as they were applying the medicine, they both began to sweat, their breathing grew heavier, and their clothing became increasingly scarce.

The sky seemed to grow shy and began to drizzle.

The people in Yanyun’s suburbs grumbled as they gathered up the laundry and bed sheets they had hoped to dry.

"The weather forecast is getting less reliable by the day!"

"Why the heck is it raining all of a sudden?"

Players, meanwhile, cursed and flocked to the [forum].

[Who’s using their powers randomly in Yanyun? Haven’t they got any public decency?!]

[The clothes I just hung out to dry are getting washed for nothing!]

...

In the bedroom of a family apartment.

Li Changhe felt a bit embarrassed watching the girl’s white hair slowly fading and her annoyed expression.

Xiao Nan actually didn’t want Li Changhe to see her with white hair, thinking it looked ugly.

But Li Changhe wanted to take a closer look at Xiao Nan with her white hair. Yielding to Li Changhe’s begging, she let him have his wish.

However, Li Changhe hadn’t considered that the weather nearby would be influenced once Xiao Nan activated her sequence, thus bringing about the rain.

Hearing the complaints about the anomalous weather from outside and the grumbling players on the [forum].

Li Changhe’s face turned red, "Next time, we should wait until it’s raining before looking."

Xiao Nan’s face turned so red it was alarming, and she huffed, "There won’t be a next time!"

After saying that, she wrapped herself in her clothes and leaned into Li Changhe’s chest, giving him several twists along the way.

"Hundred Generals Sword Test... All players below LV15, who have been on the Battle Power Rankings or are strong enough to be on it but chose not to show, can participate in this task. Therefore, the number of participants will be quite large. Last time, the event attracted nearly eight hundred players. Those numbers were second only to wartime story participation." Xiao Nan explained, "This time, it may be even more, since the rewards are very generous. Officials from various countries will send their top experts to participate. So our Holder-level leading experts who meet the requirements, including Brother Dong and Chen Guang, will join."

"You’re going too?" Li Changhe was surprised.

"Don’t underestimate me; I’m very strong!" As she spoke, Xiao Nan left another red mark on Li Changhe’s neck. "But, the Hundred Generals Sword Test is an event established by several divinities, including the Evil God Blood River. Who knows what tricks they might play, so you need to be careful."

Li Changhe nodded and looked at the charming girl in his arms.

Just as he was about to do something, he received an emergency notification.

[Catastrophe Warning: The end-of-world ballad will land in the eastern part of Canghai City, Nanzhe Province, in two hours!]

Xiao Nan’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly climbed out of Li Changhe’s embrace. Flashes of spatial fluctuations flickered around her, and she donned the Great Wall Windbreaker.

It was evident she had received an order to assemble urgently.

At the same time, Li Changhe also received a message from Mr. All-known in [Friends].

"Junior Uncle, we’ve found our chance!"
