I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 394 - 191: Plot Recap and Ning Zheng’s Plan
Xinyi State City.
The result of the great battle in the Capital City has been thoroughly announced to the world.
The new Saint emerged, suppressing the ancient evil with absolute martial power.
It turns out.
The Saint of the Xin Dynasty defeated by Jiu Shui Saint back in the day was not too weak, but rather Jiu Shui Saint was unreasonably strong.
For this, the people of the Nine-State do not care much, seeing the change of emperor as a normalcy.
It does not affect them working to earn money and providing education for their children.
Meanwhile, those scholars of the world are worried, each discussing the state affairs in taverns and teahouses.
Even.
Some fervent evil cult forces, and even some righteous forces, have openly rebelled, raising armies to compete for the world.
In a tavern, someone angrily slammed the table:
"During times of chaos, those evil cults become restless, and now they blatantly rebel!"
An elderly man with grey hair shouted angrily:
"To many in the rebellion, this is an unprecedented Death Saint, how can the living of Nine-State be governed by the dead? Thus, their rebellion is justified."
"This is a righteous cause."
"Hmph, it appears to hold a righteous cause, but it’s not anything good."
"Exactly! Before our Saint passed away, he properly passed the throne, the Imperial throne was rightful, even if it is to a Death Saint, that is the true righteousness!"
"The former dynasty’s officials, Nine Great Lords, have not rebelled in Nine-State, how dare they? It’s just for show!" someone sneered.
And some people do not care about the living or the dead dividing line, their dead ghost parents, relatives:
"What about the dead? Does Nine-State have a clear distinction between living and dead? Jiu Shui Saint passed on the throne for a reason, proving this former dynasty Saint indeed has the power to rule and protect all, why care if he is dead or alive? As long as he is useful."
Many people are arguing, with different opinions.
The entire Nine-State is in an uproar these days, with debates flooding in all directions, each with their viewpoints.
Some believe, living or dead does not matter.
This former dynasty Saint perceives himself as alive, still governing the world from the Capital City, that’s sufficient.
His combat power is even astonishing, suppressing various evil cults, ancient evil, isn’t he supporting the world of the Human Race overhead?
Is it important whether they are dead or alive?
If it were another Saint, could they suppress it?
Many hold this view.
Nearby, Ning Zheng in Xinyi State City, sat in the tavern drinking tea, silently listening, secretly frowning:
"Feels like there is a Water Army stirring public opinion, making people accept this Ghost Saint."
Ning Zheng, who mingled in the gaming forums, knew the term Water Army.
Is this Water Army remnants of the former dynasty humanity?
Very likely!
They’re hiding in the deep mountain’s cities, now emerging with the trend, it’s understandable.
Is it the Nine Great State Cities of Nine-State, or the Great Holy Lands?
Also possible!
Because they want to stabilize the populace, feign cooperation with this Saint to manage the world.
Then gradually infiltrate him, steal his core.
If they outright rebel, what’s there to steal in a fight?
If you push them too far, they might run back to the tomb with the core, saying they’ll wait for the next dynasty era to wear out another opponent.
Who can wait for that?
So they feign submission on the surface and plot secretly.
Having the populace accept this Saint is crucial.
"However, someone has already rebelled?"
"There are rebel armies across Nine-State, with the argument of not letting the dead govern the living nation."
This rebellion happened so quickly.
These people only saw the surface rebellion, but Ning Zheng vaguely sensed those cunning intentions.
This is the second trial, a confrontation.
Trying to suppress the Saint’s prestige in the Capital City.
I’m uprising locally, can you do anything about me?
If you have guts, leave Capital City and suppress the rebel army!
"This is enticing the Saint to leave Capital City."
Ning Zheng took a deep breath.
In the Capital City, they fought a losing battle.
Now preparing to lure them out.
And this is also an open strategy, with rebellions everywhere, will you huddle in the isolated Capital City as a turtle-shelled Saint?
You have to come out!
What face do you have to be a Saint?
Even knowing there is a trick, you’ll leave Capital City, go down to the nursery, tread Nine-State.
"These people, how absurd."
Ning Zheng sighed.
However, since they’re planning a second trial, it means they are confident in attacking the Dharma Aspect.
"In other words, the apocalypse two months later probably won’t be the Xin Dynasty Saint."
"Because Sun Moon is essentially an application of Dharma Aspect, they still dared to capture the Dharma Aspect of Xin Dynasty Saint, meaning the Dharma Aspect of Xin Dynasty Saint, Sun Moon, isn’t devastatingly strong, it’s manageable for a siege."
Ning Zheng felt the suspicion level of the Xin Dynasty Saint was much lower.
For the apocalypse, an immensely strong Sun Moon...
Probably still has to be the prime period Jiu Shui Saint!
The suspicion on him is greatest.
Indeed, right now this one in the tomb isn’t dead, was it an early burial, two months later passes away in the tomb, then goes mad, starts attacking the whole world?
Ning Zheng worriedly.
Alive, they were magnificent; dead, they are terrifying.
"In other words, the Saints of the Xin Dynasty now are actually a force resisting the Nine-穗 boss from destroying the world, given his deep-seated hatred against the Nine-穗 Saints."
"Should our manor pledge allegiance, and let this Saint save the world?"
Ning Zheng continued to ponder:
"If he can remain in power and save the world, regardless of whether he’s alive or dead... We might as well invest, and have some contribution to the dragon’s cause, securing a position as founding ministers."
"We certainly can’t oppose him, right? Are we really going to rebel? With our background, that’s suicide, not to mention we need to do business and sell weapons; we can’t be labeled as rebels."
Ning Zheng thought recognizing a new authority wasn’t a problem.
A group of blacksmiths, along with an arsenal of weapons, waving flags in the court, shouting encouragement, allowing this Saint to charge ahead against the world-ending boss.
...
Today, Scaly Gate completed a simple handover.
It’s practically your own land now.
But I don’t have much to move; the foundation is quite weak.
Currently, the situation remains unchanged.
"Let’s go check the shop."
At this moment.
In The Shop.
Dizzy Embers received the tomb owner’s communication token, "Is this the tomb owner’s communication?"
"Yes." The court official replied: "But his identity must remain confidential."
Dizzy felt a shock in his heart.
Could it be, a grand figure from ancient times?
After all, the tomb owner’s identity is largely hidden, and those visiting historical sites remain unaware.
Dizzy Embers didn’t suspect, instead he spoke seriously: "As the Patrol Envoy for Scaly Gate, the local steward, I will certainly serve this master well."
This is the start of his rise to fortune.
Come on, Dizzy! He secretly cheered himself on.
In The Bookstore, Su Yuniang beside him said: "We must treat this tomb owner properly!"
Medical Fairy’s face was heavy: "Yes, everything hinges on you, that major figure is a presence in ancient history."
Shopkeeper Jiucai Rong: "Dizzy, we’re counting on you."
Ning Zheng also returned from the restaurant and, upon hearing their conversation, joined in with a serious expression: "Yes, we need to establish ourselves firmly in the State City, and it’s all counting on you."
Dizzy Embers had not returned to the manor in a long time, nor was he aware of the manor’s news, nor the outrageous internal affairs of Scaly Gate.
Suddenly, Dizzy felt a heavy weight pressing on him.
This transmigrator is finally going to be noticed; the protagonist of the farming genre finally is going to shine.
Up next, following traditional tropes.
Other transmigrators in the farming genre research glass? Gunpowder? Paving roads?
He felt none of these would work here.
While he was racking his brains, he didn’t notice that Jiucai Rong stealthily ran to the back of the shop and took out the communication token.
Dizzy instantly felt the tomb owner’s communication token buzz—it’s a message from the tomb owner!
"It’s a transmission from the tomb owner." Dizzy was shocked.
"Hurry up and answer." Medical Fairy’s expression was serious, "Don’t be negligent."
Su Yuniang pulled the nearby little Gao: "Tell Uncle Dizzy to keep it up!"
"Uncle Dizzy keep it up!" Little Gao wearing the manor’s green crown seemed to have added new plant greenery.
Suddenly, Dizzy felt a strong sense of mission pressing on him; he quietly walked out and answered the communication:
"Hello, I am the Patrol Envoy responsible for this area."
...
He had no idea that Medical Fairy, Su Yuniang as Living Blacksmiths, together with The Shop’s Observer Perspective, were surrounded by a crowd.
"Haha, it’s starting."
"Dizzy’s face-slapping script has been set up."
"I say there should be a Dragon King in the plot, with Dizzy enduring, then smirking; I think Dizzy is a fitting choice."
"Don’t mess around; it’s the traditional upgrade face-slapping, being valued, meeting a sage teaching medical skills outside... Dizzy himself provides the strategy, being a novel enthusiast, dreaming of being a protagonist in fantasy novels since childhood; we’re following this path."
"Ahahaha, Dizzy himself provides counsel; if this doesn’t awaken him, it would be unjust."
"Am I the only one thinking our invited old steward cameo has great acting skills?"
"Haha, the dog planner doesn’t let us watch movies, so we direct our own."
"It’s like those two or three people shooting an entire plot."
"The new era’s blacksmith Ghost King, appearing in chaotic times!~~"
"The future Saint is you."
"Nonsense, Dizzy is the future chief eunuch manager; the Saint should be our Manor Master’s mysterious backdrop!"
"Then I’ll be the Prime Minister in the Xirong Court."
"I’ll be the Empress."
"You’re not right; this is an NPC position, from the upcoming Xinyi Family plot—the Manor Master marries in, who would guess that the future Saint is now Xinyi Family’s son-in-law?"
"You really are too much."
...
...
After gathering information, Ning Zheng returned from Xinyi State City’s tea gathering, only to see a group of people at the manor revolving around two giant corpses.
The supplies have been shipped back.
"How terrifying, the oppressive aura from these corpses is so sticky it clogs my throat, legs are weak."
"Aren’t those? Divine Beasts, corresponding to the Human Race’s Celestial Spirit Root grade."
"This time we made a huge profit."
...
A group of people gathered around the square chatting.
If it weren’t for the manor’s Protective Shield, the shockingly oppressive aura, the enormous and vast corporeal essence would likely be easily noticed.
