Chapter 22

This kind of thing wouldn't be appropriate anywhere, right? Although I don't know what the imperial seal looks like in this world, this imperial seal of the state certainly doesn't seem like something an ordinary person should have, does it? Li You examined the treasure that had left a significant mark in the history books of Huaxia.

If someone found out, I'd probably be beheaded! Privately engraving an imperial seal and plotting treason was a grave crime in any dynasty! If it were discovered at home, it would be over! But Li You couldn't bear to throw it away.

Might as well equip it as the tiger talisman suggested, and see if it can be stored inside the talisman. That would be safer, right? If I don't want to, can anyone force me to be an emperor?

After much deliberation, he made up his mind, summoned the tiger talisman, and chose to equip it. The imperial seal emitted a bright light, gradually shrinking and flying into the item slot on the panel. Below Li You's name, the words "Heaven's Mandate" appeared: "The host has chosen to equip the special item symbolizing the inheritance of imperial power—the imperial seal of the state, and has obtained the title 'Heaven's Mandate'! The imperial seal of the state is temporarily stored in the storage space. If the host needs to use it, it can be retrieved from the space!"

When the tiger talisman entered the item slot, the dragon aura above the earl's mansion suddenly dissipated, and the Purple Star shone brightly again. However, everyone who observed this strange phenomenon knew that it did not mean the imperial star was now stable.

Heh, interesting. Li You tried it a few times, watching the seal appear and disappear in his hand, finding it quite amusing! After playing for a while, he finally remembered another question, "Hey, what's the use of this 'Heaven's Mandate' title?"

"The host's authority is insufficient to receive an explanation!" The tiger talisman did not answer directly.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask. If it's useless, that's best! Anyway, I have no plans to conquer the world! Since I've already summoned the tiger talisman, I might as well claim the reward for the Three Kingdoms world mission! Li You then asked, "Can I claim the reward now?"

"Yes, the host has not yet claimed the reward for defeating Lü Bu! You will receive one chance to draw! Successfully completing the mission and leaving the trial world grants two more chances to draw! Would you like to start drawing now?" Unexpectedly, the number of draws increased from one to three.

This greatly increases the chances of a safe return to the next world! Li You rubbed his hands excitedly, "Start, start, let's start drawing now!"

The slot machine began to flash rapidly, with portraits of generals and military flags appearing continuously. When Li You called a stop, a portrait of a general appeared in the draw slot, "Great generals and scholars should not be too proud, for even thousands of troops avoid the White Robe. The host has obtained the right to summon the famous general Chen Qingzhi of the Northern and Southern Dynasties!"

"Awesome!" Li You was highly pleased with this harvest. Chen Qingzhi's fame was well-known; he led seven thousand White Robe soldiers to sweep through the Northern Wei, winning numerous battles despite being outnumbered, and achieved victory in every battle. Even the founding emperor, upon reading the "Biography of Chen Qingzhi" in the "History of the Southern Dynasties," said, "Reading this biography, I am filled with admiration," greatly praising Chen Qingzhi's military talent. Now, having gained such a famous general, what could Li You be dissatisfied with?

It seems my luck is good today! I should keep it up! Li You started the second draw without hesitation. This time, a military flag with the character "Yue" appeared, "It is easy to shake a mountain, but hard to shake the Yue family army. The Backwei Army is the most elite force of the Yue family army! The host has obtained the right to summon a Backwei Army for combat!"

"How many people?" Today's luck is just too good! The Yue family army is one of the strongest armies in Chinese history, and the Backwei Army is the most combat-effective force within it! With these people as guards, where in the world can't I go?

"Five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry!" The tiger talisman's answer also satisfied Li You. This number was not small; at the Battle of Zhuxian Town, 500 Backwei elite soldiers once defeated over 100,000 Jin troops. The combat power of a thousand Backwei soldiers definitely exceeded that of ten thousand ordinary soldiers.

"Then let's start the third draw now!" Since the luck is so good, I might as well finish all the draws at once! Li You didn't even bother to look at the Backwei Army and immediately started the last draw.

The icon drawn this time was a bit strange, round at the bottom and pointed at the top, somewhat resembling the grain stacks Li You had seen in cartoons. The reality was not far from his imagination.

"This draw grants logistical support. The host has drawn 10,000 shi of grain and 100,000 arrows! The reward for the trial world mission has been fully claimed!" This harvest was also significant, and Li You almost asked if he could sell the grain!

10,000 shi of grain could sell for about 5,000 taels of silver in Jia Prefecture, and if sent to the northwest where grain was scarce, it could fetch twice that. If Li You had been born into a poor family, he might have considered it. But now, as the master of the earl's mansion, his family received more than this amount of grain from their tenants each year, so he didn't care much about the money. It was better to keep it for emergencies.

As for the 100,000 arrows, would he dare to sell them even if someone wanted to buy them? After asking the tiger talisman about the logistics system, Li You was half worried and half happy. He was glad that the grain and arrows could be taken out in batches and didn't have to be taken all at once. However, he was disappointed that logistical supplies could only be replenished through draws and couldn't be purchased in the main world or transferred from the mission world. If he could replenish them himself, it would be like having an additional portable space, which would be very useful. But now, he could only accept this fact.

Let's see what I have now. In terms of generals, I have Pan Feng, who is skilled in single combat, and Chen Qingzhi, who is proficient in command. In terms of military strength, I have a thousand elite Backwei soldiers. In terms of logistics, I have 10,000 shi of grain and 100,000 arrows. This is much better than entering the Three Kingdoms world empty-handed! This gives me more confidence in surviving the next mission.

Oh, and there's also an imperial seal of the state whose use I don't know.

"Hey, when does the next mission start?" It would be great if you could tell me where to go so I can prepare in advance!

"The host will be notified before the mission starts!" The tiger talisman gave no further information.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Li You closed the interface, returned to his bedroom, took a bath, and went to bed. Here, he didn't have to worry about enemy attacks, and his tense mood relaxed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li You enthusiastically called Xu Guang to have breakfast together. After breakfast, he and the martial arts teacher went to the training ground. He was very curious about the difference between a martial arts value of 21 and a martial arts value of 5!
