Chapter 8: Synchronization and Coordination Begins

I don't know, how would I know what is inside this... The flow year calendar shook its head quickly without even looking, indicating that it was unclear and did not know.

Did you see it? Those black dots are a large wave of invaders, and their destination is here. They intend to kill every surviving human. They have discovered your mother's presence, and they want to kill your mother. Therefore, we must protect this place, safeguard the entrance to the basement, and we must not allow those invaders to harm your mother

The entire bronze ware exhibition hall is adorned with over a hundred transparent glass display cabinets, within which a wide array of bronze artifacts is meticulously arranged, including countless items such as bronze swords, bronze tripods, bronze mirrors, bronze musical instruments, and bronze goblets.

The despairing Sword Ancestor decided to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Yuan Gao. Thus, he shattered the display case of the Sword of King Goujian of Yue. The moment he touched the Sword of King Goujian, he began to synchronize and coordinate with the renowned sword, awakening it and transforming it into the world's first sword maiden. The Sword Ancestor, Liu Nianli, also became the world's first sword bearer. After a difficult and brutal battle alongside the sword maiden, King Goujian of Yue, they finally defeated the Yuan Gao attacking this place. Consequently, the Sword Ancestor became the first human in the world to successfully eliminate the Yuan Gao.

System prompt: Task Seven: Three swords have been placed around the Sword of King Goujian. Choose one sword to be your sword maiden and complete the synchronization coordination to awaken her as - 'Sword Maiden Qingfeng' & 'Sword Maiden Baitie' & 'Sword Maiden Bailian'. Note: The first wave of the Yuanxian's offensive will arrive in three minutes. Players must complete their synchronization coordination within three minutes.

Because the entrance to the basement is right there! Gu Han casually said, "There is a pipe that leads directly to the basement; through that pipe, you can see your mother."

Synchronization coordination - start

However, Liu Nianli showed no interest in these bronze artifacts. He ran around the entire exhibition hall but did not find anything resembling an entrance to a basement. He then went to look for Gu Han, wanting to ask for clarification, only to find the latter quietly standing in front of the largest glass display case in the center of the exhibition hall, silent and motionless.

With a loud crash, Gu Han wielded the Qingpin sword and struck forcefully at the display window. The so-called bulletproof glass shattered into pieces, making the four treasured swords protected within the display easily accessible.

Indeed, what is placed here is one of the most famous swords of Huaxia, the Sword of King Goujian of Yue. This is the greatest objective of this journey, and the reason he deceived Liu Nianli to come here is precisely for this Sword of King Goujian of Yue

According to historical records, at this time one thousand years ago, the Sword Ancestor Liu Nianli, who had been hiding for five days in a humble grocery store, received a sudden text message from his mother near the museum, prompting him to resolutely head to the museum in search of her

System prompt: Task 4: Lead the Flow Year Calendar to the Hubei Provincial Museum to complete the task, task refreshed

After enduring numerous difficulties and troubles, I finally arrived at the museum, but while searching for my mother, a group of Yuan soldiers suddenly began to attack the museum

... ...

The flow of time nodded gently, honestly following behind Gu Han. Before long, they arrived at the bronze ware exhibition hall of the museum. It must be admitted that this bronze ware exhibition hall was quite fortunate; while more than half of the museum was destroyed, this exhibition hall suffered no damage at all and retained its original appearance.

System prompt: Task 5: Lead the Flow Year Calendar to find the museum's treasure, the Sword of King Goujian, located in the Hubei Provincial Museum, and complete the task, refresh the task.

The sword measures 55.7 centimeters in length, with a handle length of 8.4 centimeters and a width of 4.6 centimeters. The tip of the sword is rolled outward into a circular hoop shape, and it is cast with 11 concentric circles that are spaced only 0.2 millimeters apart. The blade is adorned with a regular pattern of black diamond-shaped dark motifs, while the front of the guard is inlaid with blue glass and the back is inlaid with turquoise

"Brother Guhan, where are we going?" Following Guhan through the eerily silent and somewhat terrifying building, Liunian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine

The Sword of King Goujian of Yue was crafted by the master blacksmith Gan Jiang and Mo Xie using the finest bronze from across the realm. After the sword was completed, a true dragon soared into the sky, which Goujian interpreted as an omen of the destruction of Wu, and thus he took it as his personal sword.

As the heavens and the earth revolve, the State of Yue ultimately fell to the State of Chu. After the King of Chu obtained the sword, he was not pleased and bestowed it upon the Grand Minister Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was also not fond of this sword and subsequently gifted it to Chu Yu, who was very pleased with it, wearing it day and night. After his death, he was buried alongside it in the tomb of Chu Yu

Why go there

The initial dungeon in the game repeats this process, and now, the dungeon has finally reached the most critical moment, the moment of the awakening of the Sword of King Goujian.

You have deceived me into coming here, but for what reason

"Why? I don't want it! This belongs to the country, I cannot touch it!" Liu Nianli shook his head, showing no concern for the priceless sword worth hundreds of millions. He urged Gu Han, "Mom, brother, please hurry and take me to find my mom."

No, they cannot harm mother, I will never allow them to kill mother, it is not allowed... not allowed..." Liu Nianli suddenly took a few steps back, "Gu Han, my mother is not here at all, you are lying to me, right!!!"

... ...

"Alright, I trust you!" Liu Nianli bit her lip, turned around, and quickly walked to the shattered display window. After taking a deep breath, she firmly extended her right hand and grasped the hilt of the Sword of Goujian.

If one were to touch the body of the current calendar of time with their own hands, they would discover that the once soft flesh of youth has now become as hard as bronze

More than two thousand years later, the tomb of Chu Yu was excavated by the Celestial Empire, and the sword of King Goujian of Yue was once again brought to light, thereafter preserved in the Hubei Provincial Museum until the awakening of the end days

"Go to the bronze ware exhibition hall," Gu Han replied briefly

... ...

The Hubei Provincial Museum was established in 1953 AD and is one of the national-level museums jointly built by the eight central and local governments of the Huaxia civilization a thousand years ago. It is a national first-class museum, a key research base of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. It is also the largest national comprehensive museum in Hubei Province, with the richest collection and the strongest research capabilities.

"Classmate Liu Nianli, do you know what is stored inside this cabinet?" Gu Han did not respond to Liu Nianli's urging, but instead pointed at the items in the glass cabinet and asked Liu Nianli.

System prompt: Task 6: Synchronize the Flow Year Calendar with the Sword of King Goujian, allowing the Sword of King Goujian to awaken as the Sword Maiden—King Goujian. Note: Synchronization requires ten minutes. During this period, the Flow Year Calendar must not sustain any damage; otherwise, each instance of damage will extend the synchronization time by five minutes.

The sword has a long blade with a central ridge, two sharp edges, and a curved inward tip. The hilt features two raised bands with circular concentric patterns. The blade is inscribed with the characters "Yue Wang Jiu Qian, Zi Zha Yong Zhan". After Gou Jian defeated Wu, this sword was offered as a royal treasure, passed down through generations of the kings of Yue

This child has finally discovered various inconsistencies in this Brother Gu Han.

The Hubei Provincial Museum is located in the East Lake Scenic Area of Wuhan, covering a total area of 81,909 square meters, with a building area of 49,611 square meters and an exhibition area of 13,427 square meters. It houses the largest collection of ancient musical instruments in China. The museum's collection includes over 200,000 cultural relics, with notable features in bronze ware, lacquered wooden objects, and bamboo slips. Among these, there are 945 first-class national cultural relics and 16 national treasure-level relics. Additionally, it boasts four renowned treasures: the Sword of Goujian, the Zenghouyi Bell Set, the human skull fossil from Yunxian, and the Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white vase depicting the Four Loves.

System prompt: Task 5: Lead the annual calendar to find the museum's treasure placed in the Hubei Provincial Museum - the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue

Why? Of course, it is to protect us humans! Gu Han shook his head, then nodded slightly, looking gently into Liu Nianli's eyes. "I don't have time to explain the specific reasons to you. Trust me, just pick up that Yue Wang Gou Jian sword, and that sword will explain everything to you."

Such a magnificent museum now stands with only half of its walls remaining. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty's invasion, a squadron of Gundams launched a destructive attack on the museum, resulting in the destruction of more than half of its area, leaving only a small portion of the structure still standing in its original place

The ethereal sound swiftly passed by, and from the moment the hilt of the sword was touched, the Sword of Goujian instantly vanished from the display case. Liu Nian opened his mouth, looking at Gu Han, wanting to ask something, but not a single sound could escape his lips, his entire being frozen like a statue at the moment he touched the hilt of the sword

Classmate Liu Nianli, go and pick up the oldest bronze sword in the middle!" Gu Han commanded Liu Nianli, and that bronze sword was, of course, the legendary Sword of Goujian from the State of Yue.

"What is placed here is a sword, a renowned sword..." Gu Han paused for a moment and said word by word, "It is the renowned sword—the Sword of King Goujian of Yue!"

"Brother Gu Han! Where is the entrance you mentioned? I can't find the entrance. Please take me to see my mother quickly. Weren't you in a hurry to bring me here all this way?" Liu Nianli urged, holding Gu Han's hand.

Your mother is safe underground now, you do not need to worry about her. Gu Han pulled the calendar to the window of the exhibition hall, pointing towards the distant sky. Following Gu Han's finger, one could vaguely see some black dots on the ground seemingly approaching.
