CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 350: THE PERILS OF THE WORLD

In the end.

This day of the concubine grand festival concluded with all the guests cheerful and contented.

The potion shop, the concubine café house.

The gym, and the Sword Dao training hall...

These things opened many people’s eyes. Although there weren’t any major technological innovations, the various new little highlights made them feel very fresh.

The Holy Sons had a bout of revelry in the casino, eventually being stopped by Empress Changsun, and they quietly left.

And these Holy Sons felt a sense of apprehension in their hearts.

"It’s simply unbelievable."

"Although the concubines entering the palace mostly have exceptional talents, to reach this level in such a short time, even in Chang’an City, would require an extremely terrifying level of diligence."

Zhang Family’s Holy Son pondered, "They are a hardworking group. Who says women are inferior to men? Their words and life struggles touched me deeply!"

In previous years, the concubines’ qualities were always excellent.

But they never cultivated, only coming to enjoy, since there weren’t any official Law granted to them... the strongest limit they could reach was that of an ordinary person, because they were women, unable to serve as officials.

But now, they actually cultivate on their own?

"They are almost like Death Warriors, with no benefits, yet they work tirelessly like machines for their master, sacrificing themselves with no chance for official positions." A nearby attendant couldn’t help but comment, "They push the limits of an ordinary person’s body, working tirelessly until they drop dead."

The lifespan of an ordinary person is very short.

Without any Law bestowing upon them, they are just flesh and bone.

And with such crazy cultivation, heavily overworked, they might die young.

Because, they had already sharply realized:

In the palace now, hair care shops are thriving!

That group of concubines had apparently started losing hair, and he even saw the most extreme case, the Mary Sue girl from the blacksmith shop, who, after daily workouts, had a patch of balding at the top of her head.

How could such a top mortal expert be losing hair?

Only when one’s essence, energy, and spirit are utterly exhausted without proper recuperation does the body grow this tired.

"Could it be so bizarre, where on earth did Emperor Tang find this group of people?" Zhang Family’s Holy Son slightly furrowed his brow, feeling extremely puzzled.

After all, although these aristocratic families didn’t interfere much with the concubine examinations, unlike the imperial examinations where all candidates were disciples from various great families... the concubines were also screened by them.

"Could it be that Emperor Tang has a secret civilian force, beginning to recruit talents for him?" Zhang Family’s Holy Son was shocked, coming to such a conclusion.

He thought a lot.

Emperor Tang, establishing a personal armed industrial conglomerate in the harem, there must be some plot!

Throughout history, every Human Emperor, after ascending the throne, was usually the strongest military power in the world, wanting to root out the entrenched aristocracy...but it’s easier said than done?

Even the strongest is just one person, weak and isolated, even with loyal ministers in Chang’an City, their strength beyond the city is very weak.

Yet, Zhang Family’s Holy Son thought a lot, suddenly showing a gentle expression, "Go inquire about Concubine Pan Jinlian..."

A broad civilian selection of concubine talents in the future would not only be for becoming concubines, as concubines can also marry generals and strategists.

"Young Master, if it’s like this, Emperor Tang will definitely have extravagant demands...." The Guardian’s voice came from the side.

"No problem," Zhang Family’s Holy Son said, "Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Level talents are already extremely rare... let alone those suitable as wise inner assistants."

Zhang Family’s Holy Son revealed a gentle smile, this scholarly and amiable young boy felt love fluttering, "Although eating Pan Jinlian’s food is like taking medicine... but that feeling isn’t too bad either!"

...

After the annual concubine grand festival ended, one concubine player after another was full of energy, unable to hold back the laughter.

This was incredibly satisfying.

This time the strategy was a complete success.

They calculated their gains, selling off all the accumulated lives of a year in this one day.

Pan Jinlian: "To be honest, my performance today was off the charts, caught myself a golden bachelor, and that handsome guy said he wants to take me away, which probably means bleeding out a lot, Emperor Tang won’t let him go, Emperor Tang made a fortune... I must have completed a main storyline mission, helped him, and will be rewarded with explosive Rebirth Attribute Points!"

Mary Sue: "You truly are a wicked little seductress! The man’s sincere towards you!"

Pan Jinlian: "Hahaha! What’s the point, despite playing a female character, engaging in palace intrigue with that pretentious attitude, I’m still a good boy, I can’t really force myself to be male, can I?"

"Once he takes me away, I’ll just keep him hanging... once he truly wants to spar with me, I’ll put on a hopeless expression, I don’t love you look, and suicide! Once I suicide, Emperor Tang can take the opportunity to extort again, claiming he mistreated the palace concubines, and profiting for a second time! I helped Emperor Tang get rich again, I’ll get a second wave of Attribute Points!"

Wu Yuanren: "What the hell! You’re truly a scumbag, how could you squeeze benefits twice from a golden bachelor like that? And you’re being so ruthless to yourself? Even using your death as your bargaining chip!"

Pan Jinlian: "But you don’t get it, the oil yield of a leek is 200%, after I suicide, graciously sacrificing, helped Emperor Tang complete two missions, received two big waves of Attribute Points... if I restart an account, with a big wave of Attribute Points, it might just bump me from Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Level to Celestial Dao Level beauty!"

"At that point, I might be a Celestial Dao Level beauty, comparable to Xi Shi, Diao Chan, and Yang Guifei, disasters to the nation, reborn as another person, entering the palace election again for a second time helping Emperor Tang shear sheep.... then using death to repeat the above operation, madly farming Attribute Points, creating complete chaos for them.... such crazed account creation, one day, I’ll become an all-around genius!"

Mary Sue: "Damn! You are quite resourceful! Are you exploiting a glitch here? Amazing! If this goes on, you won’t need to fight... just relying on beauty to reach the top, you’d be even more awesome than outside powerhouses like Zeng Ciwen and others, even though we can’t contact the players focusing on battles outside, they’re probably still struggling hard outside killing monsters."

...

Zhu Zhengwei quietly watched this outrageous operation of these people, completely resigned.

"Those outside kept sending these bastards here, letting me manage them, how am I supposed to manage them?"

"Truly a bunch of crazy troublemakers, utterly insane... this Pan Jinlian, her name fits perfectly! Even planning her future main storyline missions and the scoundrel’s strategy is complete."

Simply outrageous!

With them causing such chaos, can Emperor Tang clean up after them?

This harem, all kinds of monstrosities are starting to run wild.

"However, although Emperor Tang is very shocked, takes great losses..." Zhu Zhengwei fell into deep thought, "But he should be very moved: there are still such Death Warriors willing to die for me, perish for the Great Tang’s realm!"

In fact, he didn’t know...

It’s all just a task for their master.
