Can a Strategist Not Ascend the Throne?
Chapter 467 Extra Nine (End)
The martial arts system couldn’t help but mutter to itself, whether it’s strange or not to use a farming system to become an emperor is hard to say, but the personality of this farming system itself is quite strange!
Although it knew before that this farming system had been “cultivated” into a slow-paced nature by its previous hosts, it didn’t expect that such a slow nature would have such a huge impact when it came to explosive news.
Look at the strategist system downstairs, it almost wrote on its face that the way it completes tasks is not normal, but this farming system next to it, it actually did such a good job in keeping secrets.
And look at what these two systems are trading?
The Imperial Seal!
In a historical alternate world, this is the symbol of the Son of Heaven, and it was just decided to be traded by the hosts of two systems, one dared to give it away, and the other dared to use it as a good omen to recruit soldiers and buy horses…
The talents these days are really getting more and more!
So the martial arts system is not surprised at all, after this batch of systems completed their task settlements, it was supposed to be the systems that successfully completed the tasks to teach the successful experience to other systems, but this time it turned into all systems sitting in a row, and the leadership of the system center also appeared at the top.
Regarding the issue that the hosts of the strategist system, farming system, and palace intrigue system have all successfully become emperors, the system high-level needs to have a comprehensive discussion.
“Actually, I really think this simple and rough way is quite suitable for us.” The management system brushed a sentence on its display screen, whispering to its neighbor. “Running a shop to the end still has to become Shen Wansan, so why not run a country, right?”
“Don’t drag me into the water, I don’t need to be so involved. My host directly handed me over to the country this time.” The luxurious wealth system calmly replied.
“Pfft…” The messages brushed by these two were just seen by the acting system behind them, as an outsider, it said that this high-difficulty emperor copy doesn’t need to find it.
As long as it doesn’t make the wrong time like the farming system because of slow actions, in most cases it appears in modern society, a good socialist country doesn’t need to mess around with that set.
Feeling isolated, the management system could only turn to its other side, only to see the system labeled [Culinary System 006] with a eager expression.
The management system was shocked: “What are you thinking?”
Culinary System: “I’m thinking, food is something that’s hard to please everyone, just like some people like snail noodles, some just think it’s smelly, some like sweet soy milk and some only drink salty, and then there’s something that makes everyone recognize you as a foodie, it still depends on the host’s cooking talent and analysis of the target customers. Can we have something different…”
It said with longing, next time if the task world is ancient, it will let the host try to be the emperor.
Who dares to say the emperor’s cooking is bad?
The lifestyle system sitting on the left of the culinary system couldn’t help but ask: “Don’t you think your skill points are not in hegemony and throne competition? What are you joining in the fun for?”
The culinary system glanced at it, “Don’t you know that I have exchanged things with the next-door divine doctor system, it wants food supplement recipes and I want medical classics, if it’s really a year of a great plague, see if we can compete for hegemony!”
“Also, a high-end chef is someone who can make anything into a dish, if some ornamental plants are changed into food, can you say whether it can accumulate start-up funds?”
“Besides, I have seniority, and I still have a task failure exemption right after completing a high-star task.”
The live streaming system and the apprentice system sitting behind the lifestyle system and the culinary system laughed their heads off.
“All quiet!” Seeing that the initial display screen whispers had turned into open chats, the system high-level couldn’t help but say. “What we are discussing now is not just about achieving the goals of strategist, palace intrigue, and farming to become emperors! It’s about whether we can use such unconventional means to complete system goals!”
Today, three systems can come up with such tricks, tomorrow maybe someone can paralyze the global power system to achieve the goal of being the first hacker, right?
The hacker system sitting in the seat looked blankly at the speaking superior, not quite understanding why it was being specifically looked at at this time.
Although the function of this system is somewhat disorderly, it is still an old system numbered in the teens, and has always been law-abiding, right?
Fortunately, the boss above continued: “Starting from system number one, speak your mind.”
——————
[Wow host, you don’t know, from the time I was produced until now, I have never experienced the feeling of being the center of attention.] The strategist system that returned from the system exchange meeting chattered in Qiao Yan’s mind.
Qiao Yan corrected while approving the memorials: “Being the center of attention is not used like this.”
[That’s not important, anyway, I’m worth it.] The system said with some pride.
Thanks to Qiao Yan’s success, plus the turmoil caused this time, strategist system 068 not only became the target of reference learning for strategist system 057, but also spread its reputation among several newly produced systems this year, becoming a “legendary predecessor.”
Although this guy is usually carried by the host, and has deeply understood the essence of lying flat is success, but who doesn’t like to hear some praise?
However, the system hasn’t really let its tail completely rise to the sky, after all, it is also clear how much contribution it made on Qiao Yan’s path to the throne. If it changes to a host with more ideas than practical skills in the future, the probability of it overturning is too high.
It’s better to take advantage of the time with the current host until the end of life to learn more, and prepare for the next task.
It heard Qiao Yan ask again: “So what is the final result of your discussion?”
The system immediately put away its sentimental emotions, and said: [We call this, this is innovation! Why should we be punished because the way to complete the task is unconventional?]
[There are still sensible seniors in the system center, one of the high-level is strategy system 001, and another one evolved from some scumbag recycling system, when summarizing, they said, when they needed to assist the host to complete the task, they didn’t need to be restricted by the system category at all, because they needed to break the situation in any situation, but now for the sake of professional correspondence in the rules, they forcibly divided so many different golden fingers, which is easy to make the system think]
The host’s mindset has also been solidified.
This time, having so many people completing tasks through unconventional methods is actually a good thing.
Moreover, the purpose of the system’s existence is to assist hosts who deserve a second chance at life to reach the pinnacle of their lives. Since the cases presented now are all successful, it proves that the system has accomplished its core mission, so there’s no need for so many restrictions.
However, the head of the system management department has something to say: if this trend becomes widespread, and everyone thinks they can become the top by becoming an emperor, it actually leads to another extreme.
“That makes sense,” Qiao Yan paused her writing, “and then what did it say?”
It said, how about this: after each task is submitted, there’s still a follow-up visit from the system center. Let’s conduct another task result inspection during the follow-up.
Those who challenge everywhere and rely on suppressing potential geniuses to claim the title of the world’s top martial artist will one day encounter an opponent willing to endure hardships and train diligently. Those who strive for fame and profit solely for the emperor’s decisive vote will also be targeted by rising stars due to harsh governance, after all, there’s the saying, “Are kings and nobles born to be so?”
Once the opposing voices reach a certain level, this so-called successful host will inevitably fall from the peak.
Therefore, hosts and systems can choose to answer with unconventional ideas, but don’t think of it as a shortcut.
Qiao Yan thought to herself, “The IQ you owe must have grown on your boss’s head…”
Unfortunately, the system doesn’t have telepathy and can’t know what its successful host is thinking about in the Hall of Enlightenment.
It only heard Qiao Yan ask, “By the way, what did your boss do before?”
It’s said that initially, it was probably a marketing system?
Qiao Yan gave a thumbs up.
This profession, this level of speech, is indeed a perfect match.
System: Ah, by the way, there are a few more messages to convey.
First, regarding the follow-up visit, host, you don’t need to go through it again. After all, the inspection agency has already seen the current situation of Da Yong, and the accident they previously caused not only didn’t bring trouble to your world but is likely to make another world develop better. The system management department is very satisfied with this.
In addition to the reward points previously given to me, they said you can also take one item from the main system inventory. For example, a certain development achievement from the technology system.
“Can this exchange be postponed for now? Given the current development situation in Da Yong, haste makes waste. Letting them explore on their own is more useful than me bringing out another product that’s ahead of its time.”
Hearing Qiao Yan say this, although the system was a bit puzzled, it replied, “Of course, there’s no time limit for the exchange.”
Another message is, this time when I went back to participate in the system exchange meeting, I exchanged coordinates with many systems. If the host wants to trade or communicate with others, it will be more convenient.
The system said with some pride, “The power track I added can also make our communication faster.”
This is indeed good news for Qiao Yan.
Although it’s unknown whether the resources of the Da Yong world can attract the other party, having more contact directions is always better.
The characteristics of the system center’s high-level revealed by the system, as well as the state shown by these systems that have communicated with it, also make Qiao Yan feel that perhaps in her subsequent life, interacting with these people will be an especially interesting thing.
For example, the farming system host with whom she had previous trading dealings. Although Qiao Yan could easily guess the other party’s situation due to their choice of the imperial seal as a trading chip and their act of returning it early, this默契 of playing the system as a tool for claiming the throne made her feel that she and the other party have been spiritually connected for a long time, but the inconvenience of communication before delayed the exchange.
Now, with the help of the system, she can make a pen pal.
Ah! There’s another message, which should be considered good news.
The system said, “When I left the system center, the gourmet system stopped me and asked about the situation in Da Yong. It said thank you for the host’s attempt, which gave it some new ideas. In exchange, it wants to give the host a few seeds.”
It said it knows the host’s idea is to let the world’s species spread or develop in the direction of normal evolution, but some species that the host can already search for, according to the trajectory of history, still require a lot of effort in species domestication. Taking this shortcut a little is not a big problem.
“Like what?”
“Like tomatoes,” the system replied.
During the several voyages to the New World by Gan Ning and others, Qiao Yan actually wanted them to look for tomatoes in the Andes Mountains. Unfortunately, this thing is still just a sour fruit growing in the mountains, far from being domesticated.
She couldn’t possibly say that she was told in a dream that this thing is edible, and even after domestication and cultivation, it can grow much larger than it is now?
Indeed, she can exchange seeds with the outside world, just say, it’s an unexpected guest mixed in the seeds brought back from the sea voyage.
Then, not only can there be spicy hot pot, but also tomato hot pot, tomato scrambled eggs, tomato beef brisket, tomato…
“Mother, what are you thinking about?” Little Qiao Huaixu, who regularly brings his homework for Qiao Yan to check, keenly noticed his mother’s distraction and asked.
“Thinking about tom… no.”
Qiao Yan immediately changed her words and said, “I’m thinking, maybe you should also go to Leping Academy to study. Go make friends with peers, and also know what the outside world is like.”
The Han Emperor Liu Xie once studied incognito at Leping Academy, Huaixu shouldn’t miss this experience… right?
Author’s note:
The next extra is about Qiao Huaixu’s daily life at Leping Academy, including some chaotic things and Huaixu’s path to writing.
Actually, I wanted to write about the daily life of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying’s generation at Leping Academy, but I think I’ll write about the next generation.
The current timeline follows the reverse time travel of 207, so here’s a preview: Jiang Wei is six years old (dog head), Deng Ai is eleven, Cao Cao’s three daughters who historically married Emperor Xian of Han are twelve or thirteen, Sun Quan’s daughter, the eldest tiger Sun Luban, is about six or seven, all should appear.
See you at nine in the evening.
Extras are meant to be relaxed. This should be the last extra, writing about six or seven chapters to officially finish.
