Section 1 Successful Individuals

A group of subordinates shared their meals, sitting in pairs or small groups in the courtyard, chatting and eating heartily. After finishing their meal, they leaned against the trees, dozing off in a relaxed manner.

Deng Yi stumbled slightly and was about to ask what Dan Fei was doing, when he suddenly became aware and stopped speaking. The front yard was as quiet as a funeral, and a woman was riding on a horse, her slender waist accentuated, her brows resembling spring mountains. She could be said to be the first beauty that Dan Fei encountered in this era. To be honest, he had seen many beautiful women in that era, but none were as naturally stunning as this one.

Of course, these are the original words of Deng Yi. Danfei knows that Deng Yi might dream of being buried in the Cao family's graveyard. Today, he finally has the fortune to meet this young lady, feeling that beneath Deng Yi's weathered exterior lies a naivety akin to that of the Calabash Brothers.

He is currently quite unsuccessful, holding what can be politely referred to as a novice outfit, but harshly speaking, it is nothing more than a beggar's clothing—what is the difference between a servant of the Cao family and a beggar

The sedan chair came to an immediate stop, and the young lady dismounted, leaning closer to the chair and whispering something. The curtain of the sedan chair flickered, and a hand reached out from within, pointing to the side.

Recalling what Deng Yifang had just said, I immediately thought of the eldest son of the Cao family, Cao Hong, who is a general, while the third master, Cao San, is involved in grave robbing. Could it be that the person in the sedan chair is Cao San? Are there any tomb raiders or officials in Cao Cao's camp that might be related to this Cao San?

The servants all suddenly erupted in commotion, rushing towards the front yard. Deng Yi also stood up abruptly, ready to run, but upon seeing Shan Fei still sitting there, he pulled him up and said: "Are you foolish? The young lady has returned, and you are not going to greet her? She has the kindest heart, and if she sees us welcoming her, she might just reward us with some money."

Seeing Dan Fei staring blankly at him, Deng Yi walked over and said with a smile, "You really have a lucky life, but what exactly did you encounter outside the city? Why did you come back with blood all over your head? You almost died!"

The household slaves during the Three Kingdoms period were essentially akin to long-term laborers sold into servitude in the old society. They were responsible not only for spring plowing and autumn harvesting but also for fishing, logging, and various forms of craftsmanship, with daily tasks that were far from easy. However, Deng Yi was not entirely incorrect; the household slaves in the Cao residence did hold a certain status. Many times, they merely performed minor tasks and errands within the estate, which undoubtedly made their work considerably easier than that of household slaves in other families.

After lying on the cold, hard floor for more than half a month, he can finally get out of bed and move around, also gaining a clearer understanding of the situation around him

The servant was covered in blood, on the verge of death. Just as the people from the Cao residence were preparing to bury him, he suddenly woke up. Upon seeing him open his eyes again, those people cried out in alarm, their cries even more mournful than his.

Deng Yi is certainly not referring to charging into battle; this is not a transaction. He has a suspicion in his heart, but he is not too certain about it

A chill ran through my heart as I took flight alone

Dan Fei learned from Deng Yi that Deng Yi is three years older than him, which indirectly allowed him to deduce his own age

After achieving a basic level of sustenance, I began to contemplate how to become a successful person again. I looked around and quietly said, "By the way, what kind of life-and-death business does the Cao family engage in?"

He merely observed the color of that person's hand with a stern demeanor

Cao Hong's money certainly did not fall from the sky

No one cheered, and a butler-like figure approached to flatter her with a few words. The young lady merely waved her hand, and the butler, understanding the hint, walked away. The bearers of the sedan chair were about to continue moving forward when a sudden fit of violent coughing erupted from within the chair

A jolt ran through my heart as I was about to ask again, when suddenly a cheer erupted from the front yard, "The young lady has returned"

Deng Yi looked at him strangely and lowered his voice, saying: "Isn't this what you and I talked about... Old Master Cao is a general, but Third Master Cao does this..." He gestured downwards with his hand and then raised it up.

He, a seventh-generation heir of an archaeological family, was tasked with overseeing a highly secretive archaeological excavation in Ye City under the highest orders. Upon unexpectedly discovering the jade coffin of a female descendant of the Yellow Emperor, his worldview was nearly overturned and rebuilt. He understood that this discovery might not be the final one, but it was undoubtedly unprecedented. If made public, it would surely shock the entire world, potentially rewriting Darwin's theory of evolution and even the course of human civilization. His worldview was nearly overturned and rebuilt. He understood that this discovery might not be the final one, but it was undoubtedly unprecedented. If made public, it would surely shock the entire world, potentially rewriting Darwin's theory of evolution and even the course of human civilization.

Just now, Deng Yi made a gesture of digging, and Dan Fei felt that he was referring to turning over the soil. He had long had this suspicion, and even before he arrived in this era, he had already entertained this idea

It was not that the imposing figure in the sedan chair had pointed in his direction; no matter how that person gestured, he knew it would not involve him. In front of him were a group of household servants waiting to receive their rewards. If there was work to be done, it would certainly be theirs to undertake. Given the circumstances, it was clear that he would not be receiving any rewards today, and he would have to think of other ways to acquire equipment. If it were not for the fear of drawing too much attention, he would have returned to sleep long ago

I would like to know the answer to this, but regarding the past of this body, six out of the seven orifices are open—one orifice remains closed, so I can only vaguely say: "I... I don't remember anything."

According to historical records, Cao Hong was a wealthy individual. When Cao Cao served as the Minister of Works, he required the county magistrates to report the wealth of officials annually. At that time, when the county magistrate informed Cao Cao that Cao Hong's assets were comparable to those of the nobility, Cao Cao replied, "My family's wealth cannot be compared to that of Zilian!"

He followed Deng Yi into the front yard, and suddenly grabbed Deng Yi again.

He never imagined that he would become a servant of the Cao family

In the midst of my aimless thoughts, just as I was about to change out of my unsuccessful old shoes, I heard a sound at the door; someone pushed it open and called out: "Dan Fei, are you ready?"

The term "corpse gas" may sound mysterious, but of course, it refers to a phenomenon resulting from microbial reactions that occur when a body has been buried underground for an extended period. The microorganisms infiltrate the hands of tomb raiders, leaving behind marks that are difficult to remove

The autumn wind blows mournfully, and everyone's gaze immediately falls upon the slender and somewhat inexperienced young man. It is perplexing how the young lady, who holds the financial power of the Cao family, would seek out this boy

Deng Yi claims to be under the age of twenty, and while he might appear to have a face suitable for a washboard, it feels like this guy is likely pretending to be younger. It is clear that he is not an oppa; he is more like a guoba.

It was just past noon, in the early autumn season, and the sunlight slanted down, casting a dark and dim shadow over that hand

When I was lying in bed, I began to devise a plan. As long as Cao Cao and his forces captured Ye City, we could rush in ahead of everyone else. During times of war, real estate loses its value, and the local tycoons in Ye City may not necessarily become friends with him, but they will certainly fear the chaos and be eager to sell off their properties. Little do they know that Ye City will soon undergo extensive expansion, replacing Xu Du as the political and economic center of the Wei state, leading to skyrocketing land prices. If we seize the opportunity, we might even make a significant profit, secure financing, go public, and from then on, ascend to the pinnacle of life.

Naturally, Dan Fei's understanding of history is unquestionable. However, it seems that Cao Hong is no longer in Xudu. Historical records only document significant events and do not meticulously detail Cao Hong's daily activities. By making a rough calculation of the time, Dan Fei feels that the master should be following his master—namely, Cao Cao. The two may be planning an attack on Ye City.

The Mo Jin Xiao Wei, under the command of Cao Cao, have always been a mysterious presence.

As a successful individual, one must possess a certain level of insight and awareness

Zilian is the courtesy name of Cao Hong

He and Deng Yi swallowed their saliva and finally managed to grab a large bowl of stewed fatty meat, and not only was the food good at the Cao residence, but the chef was also quite skilled

At present, I must first acquire a better set of equipment, and then go to Ye City in a grand manner to become a successful person. After returning with new clothes and shoes, I murmured to myself.

However, the crowd's thoughts differed from those of the solitary individual. Everyone, to varying degrees, was watching the sedan chair behind the young lady. The curtain of the chair hung down, and a faint cough could be heard from within. The young lady's expression seemed to be related to the person inside the chair

I know you have a rather high spirit. Deng Yi clearly understands Shan Fei better than Shan Fei understands himself, and said in a low voice: "Do you also want to engage in the Cao family's business?"

I do not want to be a household servant, nor do I wish to be cannon fodder; I aspire to be a successful person

The young lady was filled with confusion, and even felt a moment of daze at the thought of flying solo, almost believing she had misheard. However, she soon clearly said, "Dan Fei, come here."

By a woman's intuition, that young man seems a bit different, but she just cannot articulate what exactly is different. It is not because of his handsome appearance, nor is it due to his attire, yet this young man stands out among the household servants in a way that is hard to define. What exactly is the issue?

It feels like this kid is destined to be a servant, while also dragging down his aspirations. Before he could retort, a bell rang, and Deng Yi immediately picked up his bowl and rushed out—mealtime had arrived for the servants of the Cao residence

This young lady is as beautiful as a celestial being, with a kind disposition, treating her subordinates with a gentle and pleasant demeanor. Whoever marries such a wife must have knocked on hundreds of wooden fish in their past life.

Upon seeing the color of that person's palm, he was ninety percent certain that this was the hand of a professional grave robber, as the color of the hand resembled that of a corpse's infection

Others may not know, or may only feel that this is a hand that is quite authoritative, bearing signs of age and fatigue. However, as an exceptionally outstanding archaeological expert and a part-time, even more remarkable tomb raider, I have seen far more than the average person.

In that moment, he contemplated many things; his mind was inherently quicker than others, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important responsibilities by the upper echelons. However, the crowd only noticed that the young lady paused for a moment when she saw that hand extend, her eyes seemingly filled with confusion. Then, she gracefully turned her slender waist and glanced in the direction indicated by that finger. After a long pause, she finally said: "Who is flying solo?"

Looking at the appearance of this hand, if the person sitting in the sedan chair is not a living corpse, they must have decades of experience in handling corpses

Before he could announce everything, he was taken by that magical jade coffin to the year 8 of Jian'an, possessing the body of a household servant. It is often said that when God closes a window, He will surely hit your head in the process, and indeed, that was the case. When God closed the window of his life, He inadvertently crushed the head of this household servant.

The young lady turned to look at the crowd and noticed that Shan Fei also appeared somewhat surprised.

It is better to keep a distance from such a woman

What a useless person without any ideals

Is this the kind-hearted young lady? Cao Hong's daughter

This woman possesses beauty; however, despite the surge of hormones during her single phase, her mind is certainly not comparable to that of a youthful adolescent. Upon observing her features and considering her daily life, it becomes evident that if this woman were placed in contemporary society, she would undoubtedly be a strong woman capable of competing with men. It is likely that even seven gourd children stacked together would not be able to handle her.

But why does this beautiful woman look like ice

During this period of being on my own, I have often heard Deng Yi mention the young lady with drool, and I also know that Cao Hong has been fighting on the front lines for many years. Although he has two sons, most of the Cao family's business is managed by this young lady of the Cao family

In essence, Cao Cao's words imply that I certainly do not have as much money as Cao Hong or Cao Zilian

Finally, there is some interest in solo play. I secretly think that in the novice village, money is quite scarce for playing games. As a newcomer in this era, it is always a good idea to earn some capital to exchange for equipment.

His name is Shan Fei, and he currently resides in Xudu—a place that is, at present, the most peaceful under heaven. It seems he has no relatives and was recently sold to the Cao residence as a slave. His master is named Cao Hong, with whom he is not unfamiliar, as Cao Hong is a cousin of Cao Cao, and they can be said to be brothers who share the same interests. Anyone who has read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should be aware of this.

Everyone harbors denial in their hearts. This kid is so pathetic that he is not even worth a pile of cow dung. Is the young lady looking for him because she is unhappy and wants to beat him up? Everyone secretly anticipates the outcome

"Wait for me." Flying solo, I couldn't afford to care about ideals, and even in worn-out shoes, I ran out. Successful individuals must first fill their stomachs; for more than half a month, the blandness has ignited a fire in my heart

Looking up, Dan Fei knew that the person was named Deng Yi, who could be considered his roommate. The Cao family was wealthy and had a large estate, and the treatment of their servants was much better than that of beggars, with food and accommodation provided. He and Deng Yi were able to share a wooden house, and Deng Yi was quite righteous; he had been a great help to Dan Fei during these days.

Certainly not a stroke of good luck in love

As soon as he was slightly taken aback, Deng Yi continued, "But that kind of business is a life-and-death gamble; we cannot engage in it. Isn't it better to be a household servant? In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a servant in the Cao residence; we also hold a certain status and position. In this Xu City, who would dare to look down on us?"

When both parties came to an understanding, he made every effort to persuade those people that he could still succeed in rescuing himself. As a result, they abandoned the idea of burying him alive and took him back to the Cao residence.
