Chapter 87: Luyu’s Super Brain Hole

“We can enter the Instance soon. It feels so exciting.”

“How many people in the Great Han Dynasty can go to the Instance? Bubbles, please.”

“Actually, the five major battlefields just ask whose friendship level you want to grind. No matter who you choose, I decided to go help Sun Ce take good care of Da Qiao.”

“God damn taking care of Da Qiao, I might as well take the Lady Gan and Lady Mi.”

“The guy above has a strong ability to seek death. Haven’t you heard of Lord Guan crossing five passes and slaying six generals?”

“Kill Guan Yu, snatch the wives!”

“Snatch the wives +1!”

“+2!”

“With you guys acting like this, what about A Dou? He hasn’t even been born yet, and he’s about to receive his lunch box.”

……

As the Instance opening time gradually approached, the Great Han Dynasty channel was filled with all kinds of chaotic rhythms. Everyone’s attention was no longer on the main topic of the Instance, and they were all thinking about how to cause trouble.

Day and night alternated, the moon set, and the sun rose.

When the time reached the Chen hour of the second day’s morning, Mo Xiaobai’s communication device rang again.

This time, it was sent by Luyu.

Connecting the communication, Mo Xiaobai laughed: “Not bad, Fatty. I thought you wouldn’t look for me again this time. You actually managed to endure until now?”

“I didn’t endure until now. I went offline to the library to check information. It was pitch black, not even a ghost shadow. Last night, I was almost scared to death.”

Hearing that Fatty actually went offline to the library temporarily, Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows in surprise: “So, you gained something?”

Fatty chuckled twice and spoke proudly: “Originally, there wasn’t much harvest, but when I was leaving, I suddenly saw a collection of Yuefu poems. Guess what I found?”

“Yuefu poems? I only know Hua Mulan.”

“I’ll say your middle school Chinese teacher’s coffin lid is about to pop off. You don’t even remember the famous Moshang Sang?”

Fatty became smug and said to himself: “Originally, Moshang Sang had nothing to do with us Players, but we are playing a Plane game. According to the Intellect Brain’s style, someone like Qin Luofu, who has a name and surname in Yuefu poems, I think is very likely to appear, and not as an ordinary character.”

“You aren’t trying to tell me that you think Qin Luofu in Moshang Sang is a person from the End of Han era, right?” Hearing Fatty’s explanation, Mo Xiaobai also became interested at this moment.

Fatty’s idea was very interesting. In the previous life’s Plane, no Player had proposed a similar point of view.

Hearing Mo Xiaobai’s rhetorical question, Fatty did not answer but asked back: “In your opinion, in that era of the Han Dynasty, what status would someone who became an official in the capital at a young age of twenty-something have?”

“Naturally, a great Noble Family.” Mo Xiaobai quickly gave the answer.

“Not necessarily a great Noble Family. Look at the Yuan Family, Yang Family, and Xun Family. When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu became the Eight Colonels of the West Garden, they were all over thirty years old. Yang Xiu and Xun You go without saying.”

Even though Mo Xiaobai knew the history of the Great Han quite well, he was confused by Fatty at this moment and spoke directly: “Then what exactly do you want to say? Speak up quickly.”

“What I want to talk about is the Zhou Family, Zhou Yu’s father, Zhou Yi.”

Fatty didn’t keep anyone in suspense anymore and directly stated his guess: “When Zhou Yi served as the Magistrate of Luoyang, Zhou Yu was only a few years old, right? At that time, his mother should have been around twenty.”

“What kind of Noble Family is the Zhou Family? They can’t be considered ‘Four Generations of Three Dukes’, but they did produce two high officials of the Three Dukes rank. Zhou Yi himself became the Magistrate of Luoyang at a young age. In our Huaxia, that would be the mayor of the Imperial Capital. You think about that line in the original text of Moshang Sang, ‘Fifteen a minor official, twenty a court official, thirty a palace attendant, forty governing a city’. Qualified to have this resume, I thought all night, and only thought of Zhou Yi. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao don’t fit.”

Qin Luofu is Zhou Yu’s mother?

“Holy crap, Fatty, your brain hole is really big enough.”

“It’s not that my brain hole is big, this is a fact. The description in Moshang Sang, Qin Luofu is beautiful enough, right? Her husband is handsome and has a big aura, right? With the combination of their two excellent genes, what do you think their son would be like? Think about Zhou Yu’s title, he is known as the Handsome Zhou Lang of Jiangdong!”

What you say makes so much sense, I am speechless!

Mo Xiaobai fell silent. He didn’t know how to evaluate Fatty’s brainless fantasy.

Simply nonsense!

However, while Mo Xiaobai had nothing to say, Fatty kept chattering: “Also, the reason I truly confirmed this is another matter. What kind of mulberry leaves do you think need Qin Luofu, the wife of a third-rank Imperial Court official, to pick personally? If she really went for hard labor, it wouldn’t be like what Moshang Sang describes, dressing gorgeously and putting on makeup before going out.”

“If it were real history, I wouldn’t be able to justify it, but this is a Plane game, and there are Specialties here. Just like the White Qilin Horse I raise, would the mulberry leaves Qin Luofu picks be ordinary mulberry leaves? Would the silkworms she raises be ordinary silkworms? I dare to bet that she has Specialty-level mulberry tree saplings and Specialty-level silkworm breeding methods, maybe even Specialty textiles.”

Specialty?

Mulberry tree saplings and silkworms?

Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai frowned and fell into deep thought.

What Fatty said seemed very far-fetched, but the things summarized at the end vaguely matched the production reward rules in the Great Han Dynasty Instance.

In the previous few Instances of the Great Han Dynasty, it was easy to get some quite good battlefield Items in the north, while the south often had top-quality life Item rewards.

Just like Shu brocade and silk, most of them came from the south.

“Fatty, what you say seems to make a little sense. So you plan to join the Sun Ce camp when you enter the Instance?”

“That’s right. I can’t be bothered to care how the Cao and Yuan families fight. I have no interest in who wins or loses. I am only interested in Specialties now. Once I find Xiao Qiao, I will crazily grind her friendship level. I must get the Specialty from her.”

Going round and round from Qin Luofu to Xiao Qiao, Mo Xiaobai collapsed again: “How did it get dragged to Xiao Qiao again?”

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s already the Battle of Guandu. Qin Luofu is too old to call herself Luofu anymore, maybe she has already passed away. Won’t her skills be passed down? If they are passed down, who will they be passed to? Who else but her daughter-in-law? I’m telling you, this is definitely right. Bro, if you trust Grandpa Fatty, come do it with me. Your Daming Village also needs Specialties, we can split them equally. I will bring the White Qilin Horse to the Instance, and you take the first batch of warhorses I selected back. When the next batch of White Qilin Horses is bred, I’ll send you a few more.”

Qin Luofu’s daughter-in-law is Xiao Qiao?

Truly amazing, my Brother Luyu!

Your middle school teacher taught you like this?

“We’ll see when the time comes. Maybe I will go to that battlefield to find you. As for the Specialty silkworms you mentioned, hehe~ I can only wish you good luck.”

Mo Xiaobai shook his head. Previously, Four-Three-Two-One analyzed with such good reason and evidence, advising him to join the Yuan Shao Camp, but he wasn’t tempted. How could he possibly change his decision because of such one or two sentences of nonsense from Fatty?

Even if it were true, Mo Xiaobai didn’t have much interest.

Compared to Specialty mulberry trees and silkworms, he had more important things that he had to get his hands on.
