Chapter 1 Heaven is jealous of talents The sixth day of the first lunar month in the thirteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty. The Nanjing execution ground, Taiping Dike, was now filled with kneeling prisoners. One after another, the death cards soared into the sky, and as far as the eye could see, it looked like a dense jungle of swords and spears. The executioner was already in position, holding a large sword with a ghost head in his arms, standing behind each prisoner. Hundreds of prisoners were either crying or shouting for justice; the various voices intertwined together, sounding extremely miserable. From the prison cell not far away, the screams of prisoners being tortured could be heard. The wind was blowing coldly on the embankment, and the atmosphere was depressing and terrifying. "It's going to kill me..." Zhao Wumian, wearing an iron-gray flying fish suit, stood under the execution platform with a sword at his shoulder, his face tense and expressionless. In fact, he was already panicking and his calves were cramping. He never imagined that while playing a game, he could actually enter the game world with a character template and become a native NPC, and at the very beginning he was tasked with such a difficult task as "supervising an execution". When he thought that at 12:30 ., more than 300 people would die before his eyes, his heart was in a mess.
These are all living people! You have to watch here! You can't hide even if you want to! His current identity is the Jinyiwei, the emperor's personal army. His every move will be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang. If he makes any inappropriate behavior, he will have to kneel down on the stage. That’s Old Zhu. Old Zhu, the one who kills without blinking an eye! It’s Old Zhu who practices “Emperor’s Ultimate Skill” in the game “Mythical Ming Dynasty”! Zhao Wumian clearly remembered the game's description of this technique: One palm strike breaks the rivers, two punches split the sky and the earth! What the hell! If he got hit by this, his already limited life would be gone immediately. But even if he could resist not hiding, he was about to die... Zhao Wumian sighed softly, looking straight ahead, and a translucent panel appeared on his retina. - Name: Zhao Wumian Fate: God is jealous of talents (God is jealous of talents: all attributes are full (except luck), training speed +130%, lifespan limit -30, health limit -30) Age: 18 Remaining life: 2 Health: 70 Attributes: Strength 50, Spirituality 50, Root 50, Agility 50, Charm 50, Comprehension 50, Luck 13 (the attributes of ordinary people are around 20) Position: Zhenfusi Trial Hundred Households Martial arts: Killing Waves, Running Flow Palm, Ten Miles Mad Blade Cultivation: First Realm, Fifth Level - Zhao Wumian looked at his fate of "God is jealous of talented people" and the conspicuous "2" in the life span column, and felt that his life was bleak. The so-called fate is a character template randomly drawn by the player at the beginning of the game. Different destinies will have different attributes and trigger different game contents.
For example, [Born with Supernatural Power], the initial physical strength is full, just like Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba, who hated that the sky had no handle and the earth had no ring; for example, [Born with Taoist Body], the initial spiritual roots are full, and all kinds of Yin and Yang magic can be easily mastered; another example is [Turning Country Beauty], the initial charm is full, no matter whether male or female, they are all charming and loved by everyone. The [God's Envy of Talents] that Zhao Wumian drew was very powerful, with its physical strength, spirituality, physique, agility, charm, and comprehension all maxed out. It means born with supernatural power, born with the Tao body, born with horizontal training, born with supernatural movement, extraordinary wisdom, stunning beauty... It's simply a monster in human form. But with every gain comes a loss. As the price of his supermodel numbers, his life span was cut by thirty years! The problem is that the life span in the game only affects the game time, and does not affect resurrection. Although it is easy to reach the "untimely death" ending by cutting off 30 years at once, you can find natural treasures that can extend your life span. Health only affects the physical condition. -30 means congenital deficiency and inability to endure long battles. The fighting time will be % less than that of normal people. But with such a miraculous attribute, is it still necessary to "fight for a long time"? Isn't it the same as sweeping away a large area? The internal test has just ended. When Zhao Wumian created a new account last night and drew this fate, he was thinking this and was extremely happy. But after all this became a reality, the two poles suddenly reversed. Thirty years! Longevity is determined by heaven. The NPC he was in was just a minor character in the Pacification Department. He was weak and sickly and could only live to the age of fifty. He had already lived for eighteen years. He traveled in and integrated [Heaven's Envy of Talents], which reduced his life by another thirty years. He only had two years left... Two years... Will two years be enough for him to find the rare treasure that can prolong his life? The game had just been launched, and he had only participated in the internal beta test of version , so he didn't know much about it. But in this kind of high-level martial arts world, who among the emperors of previous dynasties was not a martial arts master? Who didn't want to be immortal? But the result? All gone. What's more, he is a small person. The only thing he can do now is to do his best and leave the rest to fate. Fortunately, my current identity can be utilized. The background of "Mythical Ming Dynasty" is selected from the Hongwu period. After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong abused his power and perverted the law, formed a clique for personal gain, and faced threats from the northern barbarians and the southern Japanese. The northwest demon sects were waiting for an opportunity to advance eastward, and the southwest Miao border was eyeing them covetously. There were martial artists everywhere who refused to obey the rules, and the remnants of the hegemony in the early years were also dormant in the dark... In this environment, with the support of the most powerful country, the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei, the Zhenfusi, became the most powerful official force in the Ming Dynasty. It's a blessing in misfortune. Relying on the vast information network of Daming, there may still be a glimmer of hope... Logically speaking, the game "Mythical Ming Dynasty" incorporates many well-known legends, adds many classic martial arts plots, and is embellished with exotic beasts from the mountains and seas, so it should have a way to prolong life. [God is jealous of talented people] As a god-level destiny, it should not be a dead end. In "Feng Yun", there is also Emperor Shi Tian who has lived for thousands of years. There should be one in "Mythology Ming Dynasty" as well. It just might be difficult. He had been prepared to face the challenge head on, do his job well, practice hard, make a name for himself, get a promotion and a raise, gather intelligence...
As a result, he died before he could accomplish his mission. The cruel reality dealt him another heavy blow. It’s hard to say whether you can survive today. Because the person supervising the execution today is a very important person. So powerful that just before yesterday, he was the second in command of the entire Ming Empire, second only to the emperor and above everyone else! He is the prime minister of the current dynasty, Hu Weiyong! Hu Weiyong served as prime minister for several years. He planted cliques throughout the court and spared no effort to crack down on dissidents, which led to the continuous expansion of the power of the Huaixi clique. Relying on the emperor's favor, he deceived his superiors and bullied his subordinates, formed cliques for personal gain, and did whatever he wanted. Finally, he angered Zhu Yuanzhang and, after being reported by court officials, he was executed for treason and his three clans were exterminated! The prisoners kneeling on the execution ground were Hu Weiyong and his relatives. With such a high-ranking military background and such power, it was obvious to what extent Hu Weiyong's strength and influence would be terrifying. Although he was arrested, he still had a guard team called "Yipintang" under his command, which was full of death warriors. Over the years, he has been responsible for protecting his safety, eliminating dissidents for him, and searching for rare treasures. There are countless masters inside. Old Zhu made such a big fuss to kill him because he calculated that these assassins would come to rob the execution ground. He wanted to use Hu Weiyong as bait and catch all the martial arts forces and masters that he had secretly cultivated in one fell swoop! Now the dragnet has been laid. The execution was supervised by Jiang Huan, the pacification commissioner of the Zhenfu Division, who was at the fourth level of martial arts. Mao Xiang, the commander at the peak of the fourth level, led a large number of Jinyiwei to ambush the surrounding areas. As long as they dared to show up, they would be dead. But with so many desperate criminals attacking together, Jinyiwei like Zhao Wumian, who are on the front line, would be in danger and would become cannon fodder if they are not careful. If you rush forward blindly, you will die; if you are afraid to fight, you will also die. too difficult…… As soon as Zhao Wumian came through, he encountered this "good thing" and almost fainted from anger. I scolded Lao Zhu and the others in my dream last night, and I have to come and stand guard the next day. "Hell has begun..." Zhao Wumian looked at the prisoners on the stage and felt completely hopeless. "My lord, the time has come." A voice came from behind. It was the Jinyiwei reminding the executioner Jiang Huan. As his words fell. The atmosphere in the entire execution ground suddenly froze, and the murderous aura, both overt and covert, was like a mountain, weighing down everyone's heart! Zhao Wumian shuddered when he heard this and looked at the sundial placed under the paulownia tree. The sunlight shines on the pointer, and the shadow falls on the stone plate with the time engraved on it. It is almost three quarters after noon. He clenched the embroidered spring knife in his hand. Things have come to this, there is no other way, the most important thing right now is to survive! The cold wind howled, raising dust. Among the criminals, Hu Weiyong raised his head.
Even though he became a prisoner and his power was sealed, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty still had his bearing. He looked around with cold eyes and revealed a sneer. On the execution platform. Jiang Huan, wearing a gorgeous white cloud-patterned flying fish suit, reached out to the lottery tube, threw out the beheading token, and said in a cold voice: "The time has come for execution!" The words fell. A sudden change occurred. (End of this chapter)
