Chapter 6, Summoning Again
Come, come, come... continue, I don't believe you can only produce this kind of thing, if you have the ability, why don't you show me a Meng Liang?
In the distance, the sound of "da da" from horse hooves echoed. By the light of the moon, Liu Bian saw a chestnut steed galloping in from the east. In the moonlight, he could vaguely make out the figure of a tall and handsome general on the horse.
What on earth is this? I have never heard of it before!
"Cheng Yaojin? Oh my, is that even possible?" Liu Bian grimaced in pain, silently praying for the next appearance of a quality general.
All five candidate generals have been drawn. Please eliminate two, and then randomly select one from the remaining three.
Convert all points of hatred into points of joy
Hehe... no offense, no offense, being able to rush here to provide assistance is already a great merit. General Hua, please rise quickly. Liu Bian rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "By the way, my dear minister, you seem to be in a hurry. Where did you come from?"
The system spirit coldly issued a refusal: "I am sorry, but once the host has chosen to initiate the summoning program, it cannot be stopped midway. If the host forcefully exits, all pleasure points will be reset to zero, and no generals will be obtained."
Very well, please follow me to rest by the campfire until midnight, and we will continue our journey to Nanyang tomorrow morning
"General Mu is my beloved general and will also be the future consort of the solitary king." Liu Bian solemnly declared Mu Guiying's identity, stating, "She is my woman, and you must not harbor any improper thoughts."
The humble minister vows to follow the king unto death, and even if it means going through fire and water, I shall not decline!" Hua Rong once again bowed to Liu Bian to express his loyalty, and then inquired, "Who is this General Mu? I have not heard of him before."
The fourth general—Jiao Zan, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, with a martial strength of 78, intelligence of 39, leadership of 75, and political skill of 27
Execute ! ''
Liu Bian made his choice without a second thought. What he currently lacked were soldiers and generals; he did not temporarily lack strategists who were incapable of even tying up a chicken. Moreover, his intelligence had already reached 76, and summoning another strategist with an intelligence around 80 would be a sheer waste.
Ding dong... Host, please note that the summoning system is about to activate. The host can choose to use 80 pleasure points to summon a general with a combat value between 75 and 85. Do you wish to proceed with this action?
The third-ranked general—Sheng Bao, a military leader from the late Qing Dynasty, with a martial strength of 76, intelligence of 61, command of 80, and political skill of 43
Liu Bian finally let out a long sigh of relief. Can this be considered the end of his hardships and the beginning of his rewards? Among the five, there is finally one who is decent. The ancestors of the Liu family in heaven must surely bless him to draw the little Li Guang!
What the hell is this! Liu Bian was completely furious, "I am done, can I choose to terminate the summoning?"
Ding dong ... ... The exchange is currently being processed
Liu Bian is increasingly frustrated, it seems that the joy points exchanged from the hatred points are simply ineffective, akin to counterfeit products, completely incomparable to the generals summoned in the previous round. Even if these three are combined, they might not be able to match a single Yuchi Gong or Chang Yuchun, what a disappointment!
Speechless, this person's character is too foul tonight, I haven't done anything wrong, have I? Liu Bian is increasingly frustrated, can't I just have a decent general?
Liu Bian sat in front of the campfire, closing his eyes to rest his mind, and summoned the system sprite from his mind: "I want to summon a talent."
All 80 pleasure points are used to summon generals
Hua Rong respectfully replied: "I am twenty-eight this year"
Ding dong... The host currently possesses 15 pleasure points and 75 hatred points. Hatred points can be used to summon civil officials. However, since the pleasure points are below 60, it is temporarily impossible to summon military generals. The host can choose to exchange hatred points for pleasure points in order to summon military generals, with a deduction of 10 points after the exchange. Please make your choice.
It is I, the humble minister Hua Rong, who has arrived late to protect Your Majesty. I beg for Your Majesty's forgiveness!" The mounted general reined in his horse, dismounted, and knelt before Liu Bian.
Liu Bian wanted to cry but had no tears: "Forget it, forget it... let's continue, no matter if it's Cheng Yaojin, Niu Gao, or Jiao Zan, just bring me anyone. At the very least, they can keep an eye on the bonfire for me at night, allowing me to get some good sleep."
The waning moon hangs in the sky, as gusts of autumn wind sweep through, leaving the world in a state of desolation
Liu Bian scratched his head and made a choice: "Send Jiao Zan away, he has the lowest ability. And remove whatever protection from me, no foreign people allowed!"
After hearing Hua Rong's words, Liu Bian completely set his mind at ease, "Damn it, it seems my worries were completely unnecessary!"
The fifth-ranked general—Tian Yingxing, the leader of the infantry in Water Margin, Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong, with a martial strength of 85, intelligence of 72, leadership of 82, and politics of 56
Hua Rong wondered how Liu Bian could know what he was thinking: "I have one wife and two concubines at home, and six children."
By the light of the moon, one can clearly see that Hua Rong has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome appearance, and a robust figure, approximately eight feet tall, which translates to about one hundred eighty-five centimeters before the time travel. He is dressed in a long blue robe, wearing black boots, draped in a silver cloak, carrying a strong bow on his back, with a quiver of arrows hanging at his waist, and holding a long spear in his hand, exuding an imposing presence
Liu Bian let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "Calculating, I am ten years older than Mu Guiying. I am five years younger than Mu Guiying, so in terms of the age gap, I am slightly younger than the beautiful Mu."
Fearing to wake the slumbering Mu Guiying and others, Liu Bian hurriedly stepped out, speaking softly as it was inconvenient to talk. He quickly approached and stopped the newcomers several dozen yards away: "Is it the renowned Xiao Li Guang, Hua Rong, who has arrived?"
Hua Rong's words are flawed; the Earth is so vast, and yet we just happened to meet without any reason. Don't you find that coincidental? However, Liu Bian would naturally not point this out. It is likely an issue of memory implantation, where Hua Rong's memory automatically defaults to having encountered him. One must not unnecessarily dwell on this issue, as it may provoke doubts about life.
Liu Bian signaled to Hua Rong not to be overly courteous: "Yesterday, the traitor Dong sent a troop to escort me and my mother to Hongnong for imprisonment. Fortunately, General Mu Guiying rescued us on the way, allowing us to escape from the clutches of the traitor Dong. I plan to first visit the He family in Nanyang, and then head south to Qu'a to seek refuge with the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Yao. General Hua may accompany me on this journey."
Liu Bian spoke as he led the way, guiding Hua Rong directly towards the bonfire. With someone on night duty, he could finally enjoy a good night's sleep. This long journey across thousands of mountains and rivers had indeed been arduous
What is General Hua's age
However, looking at the handsome Hua Rong, Liu Bian still felt somewhat uneasy. After all, he was still young. What if the two of them, with mutual affection, secretly pledged their lives to each other and ran away hand in hand?
Ding dong ... ... Summoning complete, the host has obtained the military general Hua Rong. The summoning procedure has ended, thank you for using!
Ding dong... The host has chosen to remove Sheng Bao and Jiao Zan. The summoning will now commence, and one person will be randomly summoned from the remaining three generals.
This system is truly remarkable; it not only summoned Hua Rong to this world but also created an identity for him, established a family, and seamlessly integrated the summoned character into this world. This is simply an enhanced version of the summoning system, exceedingly extravagant
Does General Hua have a family?
Liu Bian quickly made a choice; if luck is on his side and he rises by 5 points, he might be able to draw a general with a martial strength of 85. Even a minimum of 75 could be useful, as this level of martial strength is roughly equivalent to that of Liao Hua. It would still be feasible to protect himself on the journey.
Hua Rong hung his spear on the saddle and clasped his hands, saying: "I have heard that Your Majesty is in distress, and Dong the traitor has usurped power. My father has specifically dispatched me to Luoyang to assist the king, but unexpectedly, I have encountered Your Excellency here."
Liu Bian immediately broke into a broad smile, the earlier gloom dissipating in an instant. Could this be what is meant by "sincerity can move even gold and stone"? It seems that I still possess a bit of the protagonist's halo. If heaven did not look after me, why would it allow me to traverse to this world?
The second-ranked general—Niu Gao, a commander under Yue Fei, possesses a martial strength of 81, intelligence of 43, leadership of 77, and political skill of 38
Ding dong ... ... The exchange has been completed, resulting in the acquisition of 65 pleasure points. The total number of pleasure points held by the host is 80, with 0 hate points. Do you choose to summon?
The first-ranked general—Cheng Yaojin, a renowned general of the Tang Dynasty, with a martial strength of 85, intelligence of 75, leadership of 83, and political skill of 64
Liu Bian closed his eyes and silently murmured in his heart: "Hua Rong, Hua Rong, Hua Rong..."
