Chapter 4: Little Zhao Yun Who Fears Starvation

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Zhao Yun, seeing that he was about to leave, quickly set down his bowl and obediently said: "I will go too!"

... ... ''

Sun Yu saw two enormous green characters floating above the county office: "Govern the People." These green characters emitted a faint green light, illuminating the entire county town, indicating that a certain civil official's skill was in effect

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Xun Zhen, how is it? Are you getting used to this job?" She smiled kindly, just like a warm-hearted grandmother, and in fact, she was indeed a kind grandmother

The carter helped Sun Yu move two stones of millet into his new home, stacking it in the corner by the wall

I wonder how the prices are these days; what can I actually buy with this 2080 wen? Sun Yu couldn't help but think, if I want to eat some meat throughout the four seasons, I wonder if that would be possible

He walked into the study, only to find that it had been neglected for an unknown period. Various documents were scattered all over the floor, including statistics on money, grain, weapons, and horses, as well as account books related to tax rebates and expenditures.

When Liu Yu finished handling the civil affairs and came to the study to see how his new subordinate Sun Yu was performing, he found the study already tidied up neatly, with Sun Yu sitting at the desk drinking tea

Does not upset the stomach

What? Liu Yu was taken aback: "Have you memorized all the documents in the room?"

I can't believe it, the usually calm and composed Sun Yu was almost infuriated by her. No, I am a rational scientist; I cannot lose my temper with this little girl. Sun Yu stood up, casually set down his meal, and said loudly: "You can have this bowl too; I will go outside to buy some dishes to go with it."

The loud noise startled the driver in front, who quickly pulled the carriage to a stop and turned to look back. However, by the time he turned around, Sun Yu had already retracted his fist, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Sun Yu rolled up his sleeves and began to clean his office. Zhao Yun quickly came to help. Under the guidance of NM01, the two soon sorted and stacked the books, and had NM01 scan and store all the contents of the books.

It is evident that in this world, one must possess military skills to survive; otherwise, one will fall to the lowest strata of society

Sun Yu commanded NM01: "Reinforce my right arm"

From the world where women hold power and men are subordinate, it is evident that men who cannot use military skills can only serve as laborers or soldiers. That day, when I saw Guan Jing using a skill and a green light flashed around him, I instructed NM01 to imitate the green light. In fact, NM01 can emit various lights without any issue. So why not attempt to imitate more advanced military skills, such as red, blue, gold, or dark gold?

Yan Gang, whose courtesy name is unknown, was a general under Gongsun Zan and the Inspector of Jizhou. In the battle against Yuan Shao, Yan Gang launched a surprise attack on Yuan Shao's camp but was defeated and killed. Character traits: strong but lacking in intelligence

Sun Yu instructed NM01: "Next time I use this move, you will emit a red light and display the two characters 'Giant Force' above my head"

NM01, I need the information on Yan Gang and Tian Yu. Sun Yu said in a low voice

He walked into the main hall and saw an elderly woman sitting there. This woman emanated a green light, clearly the master of the "Civil Administration" skill. Upon seeing the appointment letter presented by Sun Yu, she smiled slightly and said: "So it is Xun Zhen. I am Liu Yu, courtesy name Bo'an, the county magistrate here. I am currently using military skills to handle the civil affairs of the county, so I will not greet you further. You may proceed to the study to take up your post."

Once again, it is plain white rice. Recently, Sun Yu has been eating plain white rice every day without any side dishes. Eating this way once is acceptable, but enduring it for several days is truly unbearable. He picked up the rice bowl and hesitated to move his chopsticks for a long time, but Zhao Yun clearly did not care. As long as there is food, one should be grateful, especially when it is white rice and not tree bark or grass roots. She quickly finished a bowl of rice with just a few chopsticks, then filled her bowl again and devoured half of it in a flurry of chopsticks.

Under Liu Yu's guidance, Sun Yu arrived in front of the magistrate's house. This house is located not far behind the yamen, consisting of three rooms: one kitchen, one hall, and one bedroom. The house has been abandoned for a long time, with two large holes in the thatched roof, allowing daylight to stream in. It seems that the position of magistrate in Zhuo County has not been filled for many years

However, having never witnessed others using higher-level general skills, I find myself at a loss even for the direction of imitation, which is truly unfortunate. Analyzing from what Guan Jing said that day, Yan Gang's "Spear General" and Tian Yu's "Breaking the Enemy" both belong to the intermediate red general skills. Therefore, I might as well analyze the characteristics of these two figures in order to achieve imitation

NM01 penetrated into Sun Yu's body, representing the pinnacle of advanced technology, with a minuscule size of merely micrometers, allowing it to freely enter the human body, activate human cells, and push the physical functions to their limits

Zhao Yun, half believing and half doubting, said: "Even if I am of no use, you will not discard me?"

Feeling the activation of NM01 in his right arm, Sun Yu let out a soft shout and threw a punch. Just as a carriage passed by a small tree on the roadside, Sun Yu's fist struck the tree. With a loud crash, the small tree, about the thickness of a bowl, snapped in half under Sun Yu's powerful blow

Sun Yu's eyes narrowed like a fox, pondering whether such a level of punching power could possibly compare to the likes of a minor figure like Yan Gang. No, it should certainly surpass an obscure minor player like Yan Gang. The question is... can this level of punching power match that of Yan Liang and Wen Chou? Can it compare to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao? And what about Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lü Bu? Can this level of punching power match that of Yan Liang and Wen Chou? Can it compare to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao? And what about Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lü Bu?

NM01 quickly introduced Sun Yu: "Liu Yu, styled Bo'an, served as the Governor of Youzhou. He was a person of high virtue and reputation, a benevolent gentleman. He adopted a moderate policy towards the northern ethnic minorities, which was in stark contrast to Gongsun Zan's extermination policy. Eventually, he fell out with Gongsun Zan and was killed by him."

I feel dizzy; what you said makes me feel like I'm on the execution ground. Sun Yu sighed and said, "Forget it, come with me. Let's go buy some side dishes, um... and get some meat to go with the rice." In the future, Sun Yu is a scientist, a meticulous scientist, who abstains from alcohol, so he never considered drinking.

Tian Yu, styled Guo Rang, served successively under Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao. He received high praise and achieved remarkable military merit in the battles against the Wuhuan tribe. Character traits: adept at dealing with the Wuhuan people

After listening to the NM01 report, Sun Yu lightly tapped his fingers and said: "I understand now, Yan Gang's 'Gun Will' is actually a martial skill that uses brute force to wield a spear. Tian Yu's 'Breaking the Enemy' is essentially adept at countering the northern ethnic minorities. It seems that the martial skills of the red tier are not difficult to imitate"

"Be good, don’t cry, I will go fix the roof." Sun Yu found it most difficult to deal with such a little girl, so he quickly comforted her: "Zilong, you go cook. And the books."

Do not want to vomit

Not greasy

Liu Yu was overjoyed, looking at Sun Yu with great satisfaction, saying: "What a skill! Truly a useful skill. With your assistance, managing this small county will be a trivial matter."

Sun Yu shook his head, thinking to himself that the people in this world really lack standards in managing these things. In our time, everything could just be stored on a computer. He instructed NM01, "Scan everything and save it on your hard drive. Additionally, assist me in categorizing and sorting them."

At this moment, the horse-drawn carriage swayed slowly as it entered Zhuo County, a small town that was not particularly bustling. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and the houses were typically constructed of thatch and wooden boards, giving them a very ancient appearance. The carriage headed straight for the county office.

Sun Yu felt a sweat on his brow. Why is this little girl so afraid of starving? It seems that after wandering for too long, she has developed a psychological shadow. Sun Yu patted Zhao Yun's head and said gently, "Don't worry, Mr. Xun Zhen won't abandon you. Just be good and cook, and once I fix the roof, we will eat together."

The coachman thought that the small tree had broken off by itself, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly drove the carriage forward

Two days later, Sun Yu, accompanied by the young maid Zhao Yun and holding the appointment document, was traveling towards Zhuo County in a bumpy carriage. The carriage moved very slowly, and as Sun Yu sat in it, feeling bored, he couldn't help but start to contemplate the matters concerning martial skills.

Indeed. A flash of green light appeared on Sun Yu, and the words "Shorthand" jumped above his head. He smiled and said, "Lord Liu, my military skill is shorthand, as clearly stated in my appointment letter"

Zhao Yun pitifully said: "I am afraid, sir... if you leave and do not return... there will be no one to provide me with food."

"Civil Administration," understood literally, should be a skill that makes civil governance more efficient, right? Sun Yu shook his head, thinking to himself, this world is truly marvelous; this peculiar martial skill is so strange that I don't even know where to begin if I wanted to imitate it

Sun Yu smiled and said, "I am accustomed to it; I have memorized all these documents."

What are you going to do? Just wait for me at home said Sun Yuqi: Your meal is only halfway done

Zhao Yun pouted and cried even harder, saying: "I am useless; I can't even serve as a maid properly. If the gentleman no longer wants me, I will starve to death."

Do not translate ! ''

Sun Yu nodded to indicate understanding, but in her heart, she thought that in the original timeline, Liu Yu was the Governor of Youzhou. In this world, she had not only become an old woman but was also merely a county magistrate of Zhuo County. It seemed that this world was not entirely the same as the original timeline, and I must not place too much trust in the information provided by NM01

A master and a servant slowly left the house and made their way towards the market in the center of Zhuo County

Do not want

Sun Yu climbed up the pillar to the roof and patched some thatch over the hole. After finishing everything and returning inside, Zhao Yun had already prepared a bowl of rice, but since Sun Yu had not arrived, she did not dare to eat first

Zhao Yun wanted to climb onto the roof to repair the hole, but she was small and weak, unable to climb up at all. After several attempts, she fell multiple times and sat on the ground, crying.

Sun Yu looked at the abandoned cat-like little girl with a pitiful expression and couldn't help but reach out to pinch her thin face gently, saying softly: "I won't abandon you, be good, go cook!" Not to mention that this girl is Zhao Yun, even if she were just an ordinary person, Sun Yu, with the conscience of someone from a later generation, could not bear to abandon such a little girl.

"Uh, Zilong, don't you get tired of eating plain rice every day?" Sun Yu couldn't help but ask
