As some lucky individuals received the legacy of their ancestors and began learning and undertaking missions.
The number of people searching for ancestors had grown considerably, unbeknownst to many.
The forum had also expanded significantly since its inception.
Computer experts and history buffs played crucial roles within it.
Standing out prominently.
"Seniors, save me! My ancestor is a ghost! It's so scary!"
"My ancestor in dreams is incredibly powerful and appears and disappears like a phantom."
"If I make a mistake, I get hung up and beaten. If I fail, I'm punished to do three hundred more."
"This is a devil!"
The post instantly garnered thirty replies.
"OP, wake up. I haven't even seen a single ancestor. Don't give me yours."
"No, I think I can still hold on."
"Seniors, my ancestors include famous generals. Can you help me find them? (crying)"
"I've paid homage to thirty ancestors, and none have been successful."
"The one upstairs is amazing. So many ancestors?"
"Zhuge Liang, Qin Shi Huang, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui – at times like these, you have to cast a wide net. Anyone is welcome."
"666."
"First Swordsman: I have a scary story for you all. I'm leaving the internet."
"Oh? Upstairs, tell us your story. Let us have some fun."
First Swordsman had been around since the forum's early days.
He had contributed a lot to the forum; he was practically a veteran.
And now, he had decided to leave.
First Swordsman took a moment to compose himself and then shared his story.
"First, let me say, I'm 17 years old, a blossoming youth."
"Recently, my family has been living near Chen Ji Restaurant."
"My dad changed completely after he learned about the ancestor matter."
"Do you know? A man in his fifties or sixties started studying books! He even enrolled in an adult college entrance exam online."
"Isn't that terrifying?"
The viewers were shocked. "This is big news."
"Hiss, that is quite terrifying."
"This father is a tough one. What kind of power is driving his engine so hard?"
"Shame, I haven't even done my homework yet."
First Swordsman's jaw dropped when he learned his father had enrolled.
He even stopped playing his favorite games to check on his dad.
He paused and continued typing.
"My family has gone through a lot of hardship to get to where we are today. The wish of the older generation was for someone in the family to become a university student."
"And I am the only one in the family still studying."
"You guys understand, right? The pressure to succeed. But the more they push, the more annoyed I get."
"However! After learning about Chen Ji Restaurant, my dad stayed alone in the living room for a whole night. The next day, he completely ignored me!"
"I went to ask him, what do you think he said?"
First Swordsman paused, giving the viewers time to react.
"He said, 'It's better to rely on yourself than to beg others. It's like asking you to go to college is killing you, so I'll go myself!'"
"My dad, who is in his fifties or sixties, just decided to study."
"Tell me, isn't that amazing? Isn't that heroic?"
The replies below the post were filled with "666."
Although he knew his dad was afraid of facing his ancestors with shame after death,
First Swordsman was still motivated by his father's bold declaration.
"So! I'm also going to leave the internet and study hard! Let's see who gets into university first, my dad or me!"
"See you next year, viewers!"
After typing this line, First Swordsman felt completely relaxed.
His hands left the keyboard.
His story ended here. See you next year.
He saw a string of replies below the post:
"See you next year. I'm going to study hard too."
"I'm going to talk to my dad too. Hoping for a son is not as good as going to college yourself."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
Just as he was about to close his computer, he noticed a shift in the tone of the replies.
"Brothers, the streamer is live!"
"Let's go!"
"Upstairs, wait for me. I've got snacks, let's watch together!"
First Swordsman's fingers twitched, but he held back.
He had already decided to leave the internet.
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The streamer has released Meng Po's mission!"
"Find someone from a thousand years ago. Reward for finding them!"
"Meng Po? Holy crap, is there a chance to catch a glimpse of Meng Po's beauty?"
"What's the reward? Can it extend lifespan? Catching ghosts would be fine too!"
The messages below the post scrolled continuously.
First Swordsman endured it, and endured it again. Seeing this, he finally couldn't hold back.
He picked up his keyboard and typed furiously.
"How can a computer expert like me miss Meng Po's mission!"
"I'll finish this mission before I leave the internet!"
"Computer experts, assemble!"
As soon as the message was sent, four or five replies immediately appeared.
"Hacker from N Province reporting."
"Top student in Computer Science from H Province reporting."
On this day,
The "Live Stream: Daily Healing in the Underworld," with tens of millions of viewers, suddenly revealed a piece of news.
That is, Meng Po's missing person notice!
Legend has it that Meng Po is beautiful with exquisite features and a graceful figure.
She has lived for a thousand years, possesses profound cultivation, and now manages the Meng Po soup.
What is the function of Meng Po soup? To make people forget their past and present lives, and to be purified before reincarnation.
If anyone forgets to drink Meng Po soup before reincarnation,
No matter where they are reincarnated, their memories from this life will undoubtedly be a golden finger!
What about genius prodigies! What about those who compose poetry at three and win awards at five!
And then participate in a father-son show to become famous. Their future lives will be incredibly beautiful.
Just by being reborn, they will have a lifetime of experience and knowledge more than others.
And those true loves who wish to reunite in the next life will no longer be a dream.
Moreover, the streamer said.
If anyone can help Meng Po find the person, the reward will be generous!
If the reward is so generous, then they can drink a little less Meng Po soup then.
It's not too much, right?
It's not too much to make a promise with your girlfriend to meet in the next life, right?
Or find a way to make a deal with King Yama to extend their lifespan?
Or just throw some props at them.
Either way, it makes people eager to try, unable to resist!
"I'm here for the reward. No one try to snatch it from me!"
"You guys take the reward, I'll just enjoy looking at the beauty!"
"Meng Po has lived for a thousand years, and the person she's looking for is also from a thousand years ago. Brothers, are you that confident?"
"As long as there's a little bit of alcohol, confidence will skyrocket."
"A thousand years, and Meng Po hasn't found him while guarding the Bridge of Helplessness. It might be difficult to find him."
After Jiang Lin accepted the mission at the mission center, the mission details were displayed.
The person's personal information, along with a very old-fashioned portrait.
The person in the portrait had a full forehead and a high nose bridge.
There was only a mole, three fen to the right of the center of his brow, which somewhat affected his appearance.
This mission had occupied the top spot in the mission center for many years.
Jiang Lin hadn't intended to accept it, at least not in the short term.
But the previous ancestor inheritance incident made Jiang Lin realize how strong humanity's current search capabilities were.
Many people, discipline, technology, intelligence, and organization.
The efficiency was very high.
Perhaps, he could let them try.
If he truly found the person, it would give him another bargaining chip for his advancement to the late stage of Great Ghost General.
"Missing Person Notice: Qi Hesheng, born in the State of Heng. At the age of 19, he joined the army and never returned.
Before his death, he had a letter home that he hadn't had time to send. It was brought back by a fellow villager.
The letter mentioned that if he encountered misfortune during this campaign, they would meet at the Bridge of Helplessness."
"State of Heng? I've read so many historical records, how come I've never heard of this name?"
"He's been dead for so many years, why hasn't he reincarnated? Or did he not wait for Meng Po?"
"Based on what the person above said, I've already imagined a three-thousand-word melodramatic story."
"Whether he has reincarnated or not, let's find this person first. Perhaps we can find some clues."
"So the question is."
"A person from a thousand years ago, and a country that doesn't exist in official history."
"Where can we find them?"
