Chu Chen entered the system backpack and took a look. Sure enough, a pill lay inside, its icon looking crystal clear.
Chu Chen's lips curved upwards, a smile appearing on his face.
He thought, now I should be able to rest easy, right?
Taking advantage of his current good spirits, he simulated again.
【Please select simulation mode, Autonomous Life Simulation or Second Life Simulation】
Chu Chen directly chose the autonomous mode.
【Simulation loading complete, Protagonist, Chu Chen!】
【You saved Qian Jieren. The news reached the Xiongnu Chanyu, who dispatched experts to assassinate you. You took the Ascending Dragon Pill given by the system and invited two Qi Transformation realm experts from the General of the Guards to assist. After a great battle, you killed the three Qi Transformation realm experts.】
Reading this, Chu Chen's face immediately showed relief. He had finally dealt with these three troubles, and it wasn't a waste of two thousand points to buy such an Ascending Dragon Pill.
However, the content that followed immediately made Chu Chen dumbfounded.
【Just as you were feeling triumphant, a great expert suddenly appeared, with strength in the late Qi Transformation realm. Taking advantage of your weakened state after the battle, they launched a surprise attack. You were unable to resist and were killed!】
Chu Chen exited the simulation speechlessly, scratching his head, "To assassinate just me, they sent so many experts. Is it worth it?"
Chu Chen scratched his head, feeling that something was a bit strange.
Did the Xiongnu Chanyu hate him that much, to the point of wanting him dead quickly?
If he had this kind of temper, couldn't he just go find Qian Jieren?
Or was his existence threatening the Xiongnu's progress in controlling the Yunyue Kingdom? Did his act of saving someone this time just remind the Xiongnu Chanyu that to succeed, they had to deal with him first?
Chu Chen had indeed thought about asking the General of the Guards for two Qi Transformation realm experts to assist, but it seemed their usefulness was not so great now.
The best thing to do now was to think about who to find to deal with that great expert in the late Qi Transformation realm!
A single person attacking like this could absolutely defeat the combined efforts of the three of them, even if Chu Chen had taken the Ascending Dragon Pill to boost his short-term combat power!
【Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the simulation and obtaining the following rewards, choose one of three】
【One: Dark Little Box, contents unknown, could be good or bad】
Chu Chen directly skipped this option.
【Two: A secret about the Empress, which is also one of the reasons the Empress wants to deal with you】
Chu Chen's eyes immediately lit up. What little secret did the Empress have?
As for the reason the Empress wanted to deal with him, Chu Chen had thought about it many times, but could never find an answer.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile, and at the same time, his heart was filled with longing.
If he could truly find this little secret and resolve it, would the Empress then stop thinking about dealing with him?
This question had troubled Chu Chen for a long time, from the moment he entered the imperial palace until now, Chu Chen had not escaped its shadow.
Chu Chen felt a little excited, but he still held back and did not make a choice for the time being.
【Three: Information about a great expert who can help you repel a powerful enemy, costs one thousand points, does not guarantee you can invite them】
Chu Chen was puzzled. Where did he have a powerful enemy?
Such an expert would undoubtedly be an elder. Without sufficiently deep connections, it would be impossible for him, Chu Chen, to get them to act.
Chu Chen hesitated. These three rewards were definitely useful, especially the mysterious little box that had appeared countless times.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, or the other two boxes were useless, Chu Chen would not choose it, precisely because of its great uncertainty.
As for the Empress's little secret, although Chu Chen really wanted to choose this option, there was still a considerable amount of time before the Empress would deal with him, so this one did not need to be considered for the moment.
As for the third reward, although it required spending one thousand points, and the reward given was only information, whether he could invite the person still depended on his own efforts.
However, for Chu Chen now, this seemed to be the most applicable.
If he could truly invite such a great expert, dealing with that late Qi Transformation realm expert would not be a problem.
Chu Chen's face showed a hint of longing. This system was truly a timely rain. The rewards given in each simulation were basically what he needed, and the conditions offered were within his capacity.
Chu Chen chose the third option with almost no hesitation.
【Obtaining information requires one thousand points, do you wish to consume them?】
Chu Chen directly chose to consume them.
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the information of this great expert: Name, Huo Qing, Identity, Old God of War, once possessed unparalleled combat power, served in the army for many years, now a闲人 (idle person), lives in an old house near the imperial city】
Chu Chen recalled the information about this Old God of War in his mind. It was very little. After this Old God of War retired, his daily life was very low-key, drinking tea, walking birds, and playing chess outside the imperial city.
Occasionally, when he went to court and retired from court, he would still see this Old God of War chatting happily with some old acquaintances from the army.
It was said that this Old God of War had already entered the early Qi Transformation realm when he joined the army. Many years had passed, and although he had retired, his strength should be sufficient to deal with that powerful enemy.
Chu Chen was delighted, but still a little hesitant. The Empress was undoubtedly thinking about how to subtly weaken his strength.
She had gained too many benefits from him now, and it was also difficult for her to reward him. Keeping him would also threaten the Empress's imperial power.
Rather than struggling after helping Chu Chen, it was better to stand by and watch.
To be safe, Chu Chen initiated the third simulation.
【Simulation Protagonist: Chu Chen!】
【You came to the imperial palace and requested the Empress to summon the Old God of War Huo Qing. The Empress agreed and summoned Huo Qing. After discussing, you two decided to go and inspect the farmland together at that time, and defeat those experts when they appeared.】
【As you were about to interrogate them, you discovered that their faces were ashen, and after a few breaths, they had already died from poison.】
Exiting the simulation, Chu Chen's brow furrowed even deeper. Why did these so-called great experts commit suicide without any psychological burden?
This Xiongnu Chanyu, his plans were definitely far-reaching. It seemed that not only him, but the entire Yunyue Kingdom was in danger!
Even if he managed to escape this time, in every subsequent encounter, he would be even more dangerous!
Chu Chen walked out of the Prime Minister's mansion, calculating how to improve his own strength.
Although he could largely protect himself, when facing these true experts, he seemed so powerless, even needing to seek the help of some Old God of War!
Getting into the carriage, Chu Chen entered the system again.
【Congratulations to the Host for completing the third simulation of the day and obtaining the following three rewards, choose one of the following.】
【One: Mysterious Little Box, situation unknown】
【Two: A fatal weakness of the Xiongnu Chanyu, if used properly, it can destroy his country, requires one thousand points】
