[You and Wei Yao have passed away, and your eldest son, Wei Ren, has inherited the throne. Under his leadership, Kingdom Wei defeated Kingdom Chu and truly unified the world.]
[Wei Ren is preparing to ascend to the throne. The Rongdi tribe in the West, the Xiongnu in the North, the barbarians in the South, and the demon beasts in the East attacked the Central Plains together. Kingdom Wei was suppressed everywhere, and the army was exhausted. The remnants of the six kingdoms in the kingdom began to rebel again, and eventually, Kingdom Wei fell apart again.]
[This simulation has ended.]
This time, the simulation results were the closest to the grand unification of all the kingdoms. A unified empire had appeared. However, he still failed in the end. Zhang Beichen felt a little regretful.
[This simulation has ended. The simulator will enter a cooldown period.]
[Simulation Evaluation: Ambitious and ruthless official. By currying favor with the empress of Kingdom Wei, you gained power, eliminated dissidents, and finally held great power. Under your control, Kingdom Wei has become unprecedentedly powerful, but you have also left behind the infamy of disloyalty.]
[Simulation Reward: A medium ball of spiritual energy. A small fragment of memory. Grade 2 martial art: Pao Ding Sword Technique.]
This time, Zhang Beichen absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy liquefied and nourished his body, circulating around his body. After that, they entered the spiritual ocean formed by the spiritual liquid.
Zhang Beichen's spiritual ocean was only a small area, but this time, the spiritual energy increased its size by more than three times.
"Late stage of the second realm!" Zhang Beichen was overjoyed. His strength had greatly improved.
The first realm was the Dao-entering realm, and the second realm was the Dao-pursuing realm. These realms were all a process of accumulating spiritual energy. And to break through to the third realm, which was the Dao-seed realm, one needed to have all the comprehension and achievements of the Dao they cultivated. Only then could they condense their Dao seed.
"I'm already at the late stage of the second realm. I can protect myself to a certain extent," Zhang Beichen thought. Other than cultivation, he also got the Pao Ding Sword Technique, which improved his martial arts skills.
On top of that, Zhang Beichen also unlocked an achievement skin.
[Deliberately making a deer out to be a horse: Zhang Beichen] One and a half stars gold card.
On the screen, Zhang Beichen was standing beside the throne. He was only below one person and above ten thousand people!
In front of him, the ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to look him in the eye!
Skin effect: Increase reputation by 1200 points, increase command by 100 points, and increase the power of all spell techniques by 10%.
Skin skill [Dictatorial Imperial Court]: Can receive additional national destiny.
...
[Simulation Evaluation: Incapable ruler You abandoned the government, implemented nepotism, and were extremely extravagant. You were disdained by the world. You made almost no contributions during your reign, but you didn't make a big mistake. Your child revitalized Kingdom Wei and unified the world.]
"So what if I was an incapable ruler? In any case, I've achieved my goal!" Wei Yao didn't feel ashamed, but rather proud of herself!
[Simulation Reward: Simulated memory, medium spiritual energy, special constitution enhancement.]
After receiving the reward, Wei Yao felt that her br*asts seemed to have grown a little bigger.
"Wonderful! The feeling of being an incapable ruler is really not bad. No wonder so many rulers want to be incapable rulers. It's just that their lives were a little miserable later on." Wei Yao was lying on the bed, her hands holding her chin, her legs moving up and down.
She was thinking about a serious problem. She already made such a mess but Zhang Beichen could still lead her to victory.
If such a person were to follow Ying Yiren, then Kingdom Qin would be able to destroy Kingdom Wei sooner or later!
In the simulation, she could act like an unbridled incapable ruler, but in reality, Wei Yao still had some restraint.
"No! Zhang Beichen is mine, I can't let Ying Yiren take him away!" Wei Yao suddenly stood up, her eyes determined, "I must get Zhang Beichen, no matter what the price is!"
...
There was too much information in his head, and Zhang Beichen soon fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already noon the next day. After Zhang Beichen finished washing up, he realized that Ying Yiren had already woken up and had been waiting for him for more than two hours.
When she saw Zhang Beichen, Ying Yiren's expression suddenly turned bitter.
She remembered the simulation from last night very clearly. Three times in a row, Zhang Beichen was on Wei Yao's side!
The two of them were clearly drinking together last night, and they even had intimate contact.
"Maybe he didn't participate in the simulation, or he didn't have a choice," Ying Yiren comforted herself.
Zhang Beichen saw her expression and felt a chill down his spine. He quickly asked, "Is Your Highness not in a good mood today?"
"I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that someone left me and gone to the empress of Kingdom Wei. He even helped Kingdom Wei defeat Kingdom Qin!"
Zhang Beichen felt his scalp go numb. It could be simulated in the game, but in reality, if such a thing really happened, it would be a death sentence!
At this time, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Dreams are all fake. Your Highness might be too tired recently. You should be fine if you get more rest."
"Oh right, Your Highness, I prepared a few jars of good wine for you. I'll have someone send it to the palace."
Zhang Beichen quickly took out the gift, and only then did Ying Yiren's mood improved.
"I don't have time to rest," said Ying Yiren as she stood up. She continued, "Something has happened in the kingdom, so I'll be returning to the capital today."
"Zhang Beichen, after you're done with the affairs here, return to Liyang and report to me. I have another task for you."
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang Beichen cupped his hands.
He sent Ying Yiren off.
Ying Yiren rode on her white horse, returning to her heroic and valiant image as a monarch.
"Your Highness, please have a safe journey," Zhang Beichen shouted.
Ying Yiren held the reins and looked back at Zhang Beichen. She suddenly shouted, "My beloved subject, remember, you are one of my people, no one can take you away!"
With that, Ying Yiren left on her horse, leaving Zhang Beichen with a view of her cool back.
Zhang Beichen's mouth twitched. He realized that things were getting more and more complicated. When he was still a player, he could go to any monarch and unlock different achievements.
However, in reality, these monarchs were all enemies. If he was faced with a choice, could he really be as ruthless as he was in the game?
Furthermore, the monarchs might not be able to tolerate him assisting their enemies...
"What a headache. Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I'll take it one step at a time!" Zhang Beichen couldn't understand it at the moment, so he decided not to think about it.
...
Kingdom Qin, capital, Liyang City.
In a luxurious courtyard located in the city, the leader of the old clan and the Prime Minister of Kingdom Qin, Meng Yuan, was fishing in his own courtyard.
He looked like he was sleeping and he was so still that he seemed to be one with heaven and earth.
Behind him, two middle-aged men from Kingdom Qin were pacing back and forth anxiously. These were his two students, and also the family heads of the Bai family and the Xi family which were two of the three major clans in Kingdom Qin. These two men were Bai Jiayi and Xi Qiming.
Bai Jiayi was a burly man wearing armor. He was not only a doctor but also held an important position in the army.
As for Xi Qiming, he looked older and was wearing the dark-colored official uniform of Kingdom Qin. He was a civil official.
"Teacher, you're still in the mood to fish?" Bai Jiayi couldn't help but say, "That Ying Yiren went to Baiyang County and supported Zhang Beichen in killing the Bai family's branch family head, Bai Liangpu. She even confiscated his family property and land! She's going to attack us!"
"Teacher, Ying Yiren has already revealed her ambitions. She wants to deal with our old clans. We can't let her continue like this!" Xi Qiming said.
"In the beginning, we helped her ascend the throne because we thought that she was a brave woman with no brains and was easy to control. Who knew that she had hidden her ambitions so deeply? If I had known this would happen, I would have let Ying Meng ascend the throne!"
