Chapter 2977 The System Arrives: A Turning Point to Power

Chapter 2977 The System Arrives: A Turning Point to Power

The person in charge was very angry.

This schoolteacher actually used something he never did to slander him!

"You are slandering!"

"Heh, slander? If you can make me drown today, won't your generals drown tomorrow too?" Wenren Sheng shook his head.

In fact, the nature of this person who rose to power had already been clearly revealed through his previous actions.

This is why those subordinates, after being struck by Wenren Sheng's diminished aura of wisdom, immediately chose to believe him and defected.

Even when reducing one's intelligence, it must still conform to basic logic.

Otherwise, the world will collapse very quickly.

At least at first glance, others will think they're a good match.

Unlike the situation where people step on their own feet, which immediately raises concerns after completing nine years of compulsory education, this situation is different.

So much so that even though it's set in a martial arts or fantasy world, this kind of writing will still get criticized.

They had to change it to releasing their true energy and spiritual power to ascend to heaven.

And so it is now.

Everyone knows the character of those in positions of power.

Anyone who posed a threat to him was either killed or mysteriously disappeared.

As a result, when Wenren Sheng said those words, these people's intelligence was quickly reduced, and they made choices based on primitive logic and instinct.

Furthermore, with the memories of the future, they will naturally make the right decisions.

That is to support someone who can better protect their interests.

In reality, if they were mentally sound, they would have many concerns, various thoughts, and worries, such as expecting others to stand up for them or protecting others.

Unfortunately, others think the same way.

Thus, under a fragile balance of power, and in their self-righteous actions, a group of people allowed the person least aligned with their long-term interests to come to power.

In fact, from the perspective of people in another timeline, those civil and military officials could have simply killed the one in power and then promoted the enlightened king to the throne themselves.

In this way, a puppet would naturally not be able to kill them; it would only be a win-win situation for everyone, and of course, the depravity would be even more severe.

The problem is that no one can take the lead in doing this, no one can represent the interests of more people, and no one is willing to take the risk of doing this.

Now, with Wenren Sheng lowering his aura of wisdom, these people won't think so much.

They simply think, "This person who takes over is no good; they'll kill us in the future."

And so, the high-ranking guards rushed over one by one and took the high-ranking official away.

"No, I am the one in power!"

"I am the emperor!"

"I conquered this world!"

"You can't do this!"

The man in charge was furious and struggling; he had absolutely no idea why things were going this way!

He worked hard for several years, only to end up like this!

He naturally didn't know that others had worked hard for decades and ended up in the same situation. Wouldn't those people be upset?

Then Wenren Sheng waved his hand, and they took the guy away.

It wasn't until this point that he realized the gap between himself and the other party.

He was sent to a prison.

There was only a pile of tattered straw.

He lay in prison, reflecting on his life.

"It's ridiculous. After working so hard, all we get is to become someone else's tool."

"No wonder that guy was sitting comfortably in the mountains; he had already won over my men!"

"Damn it, why did those people betray me?"

And at this time.

Suddenly a voice appeared.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully activated the Emperor Growth System."

"What system?"

"what are you?"

He was inexplicably angry after taking over the position.

He thought someone was still deceiving him.

Wait, what system? Host? He seemed to have a vague recollection of that.

I remember hearing that female teacher mention it once.

"What? After transmigrating, wasn't a system supposed to be a standard feature?"

"Why did I not only not encounter one, but also run into a competitor?"

He didn't understand at the time and didn't take it to heart.

He didn't understand what "time travel" and "system" meant.

Now he suddenly understands a little.

He quickly asked, "System, what are you?"

"Dear host, the system is not a thing, you can think of it as your prime minister."

"I see, I understand now, you are an auxiliary tool."

"Yes, you can think of it that way. The system will help you become emperor smoothly, and even become the greatest emperor of all time."

"Great."

"Now I will reclaim my throne."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully activated the mission: Escape from prison."

"Countdown: 24 hours."

He knew it was 24 hours a day, after all, he had only received incomplete nine years of education.

"But how am I supposed to escape?"

He looked around.

An idea came to mind quickly.

There were two guards watching over the prison.

He knocked on the cell door, drawing the guards nearby, and whispered:

"Hey, brother, if you let me go, I can work for your general after I get out."

The other person glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh:

"You're in a superior position now; it's the master who's going to lock you up."

"We don't have the guts to let you go."

"Besides, what can you do after you get out?"

"It's alright, the master is just giving me a test. You know I'm his smartest student. As long as you let me out, I'll pass the test." The man in the upper seat tried to fool the two of them.

The guard hesitated.

That's definitely true.

He also learned that Shangwei had always been the smartest student.

He should have inherited the throne.

However, the other party messed up and was arrested on the master's orders.

The reason might be that he was too impulsive, actually thinking of killing his husband and taking over for himself.

Isn't this courting death?

Thinking of this, the guard decided to refuse.

After all, if you don't do anything, you won't make mistakes.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth or not?"

We cannot agree to your request.

At this moment, the person in charge suddenly felt a headache.

Damn it.

Everyone believed whatever that man said; they were all like fools.

When it was his turn, the others became smarter.

Suddenly, the system displayed another notification:

"Host, you still have a newbie gift pack that you haven't claimed yet. You can claim it now."

"Can I claim my gift pack now?"

Upon hearing this, the superior was immediately tempted.

The system is giving out a big gift package?

He quickly received the newbie gift pack.

Upon opening it, I saw the following:

"The best sword in the world, capable of cutting through iron like mud."

"500 taels of silver note, dragon-head silver note, redeemable immediately upon presentation of the note."

"A pile of loose gold and silver."

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but become excited.

"All items are temporarily stored in the system space and can be retrieved and used at any time. Once retrieved, they cannot be stored back in the system space."

With these things, he should be able to pass the test smoothly.

So he took out only ten taels of silver and gave them to the two guards.

The two guards thought about it and actually accepted it, but they pretended to be asleep and ignored him.

He still needs to find a way to escape.

As a result, he gave the other party the 500-tael silver note.

However, the other party immediately and greedily beat him up and searched his body, but found nothing.

"Damn it, is this all the silver I've got?"

"You used to be a great general!"

"Yes, it should be at least 100,000 taels of silver!"

"You two bastards, do you think 100,000 taels of silver is a small amount? It still depends on whether the bank can redeem it!" "The bank can only give out 1000 taels of silver at a time!" The superior was very angry.

"Oh, so you still have money in the money exchange?"

"Of course I can. As long as you let me out to the money exchange, I can give you another five thousand taels."

The two guards thought for a while and quickly agreed.

Five thousand taels, two thousand five hundred taels per person, is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

It's a good opportunity to escape together.

With the help of two guards, Shangwei was disguised as a woman and finally escaped from the prison.

Then the system displayed a new prompt:

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your first task."

"Escape from prison."

"Reward: 5 points to physical attributes."

Walking on the dark road, Shangwei suddenly felt that his body had become much stronger and his eyesight had improved.

He seemed to have acquired the strength of those fierce generals.

Great, so that's how this system works.

It can improve his physique and increase his physical strength.

He then glared at the two guards.

Then he took one of the guards in each hand and beat them to death.

These bastards actually dared to blackmail me!

He then retrieved the silver and banknotes and quickly left.

As he walked, something suddenly occurred to him:

Are there really such good people in the world?

Is the system real or fake?

It claims to be the prime minister, but how many prime ministers have rebelled?

Besides your own parents, who else will treat you well?

Even my parents prioritized taking care of my eldest brother back then, giving him the house and land.

He and his brothers became the eldest brother's tenant farmers, but they didn't receive any grain; they were only given rice to eat.

I worked for over ten years for nothing and didn't get a single penny.

His youngest son is worthless.

It's not something parents should value.

The reason is simple: young children are more likely to die young, while the eldest child can carry on the family line.

This is quite different from nomadic democracy.

The nomadic man doted on his youngest son.

Farming families often value the eldest son, giving him all the resources first and expecting him to take charge of the household.

This is normal; many places do the same.

Of course, some parents dote on their youngest son; this cannot be generalized.

Thinking about this, the superior was very skeptical.

He felt that this system might be another scheme devised by his husband to frame him.

There's no such thing as giving someone something for free.

Just like him, he would recognize those people as his adopted sons and brothers, hoping that they would risk their lives for him.

That's why he says all those nice things every day.

When they are no longer needed to risk their lives, they will naturally be killed by swords and axes.

It's that simple.

Therefore, this department must also have some kind of expectation.

That's certainly the case.

The person in charge thought to himself that he needed to be more careful.

He can use this system now, but when he succeeds in the future, he will have to find a way to destroy it as well.

That's what he thought.

This is the normal mindset of someone in a position of power.

Those who have no doubt about the system are just naive elementary school students.

If someone says they've lost money, he immediately gives them the money he found without any verification.

And so, the superior and his group fled together.

at the same time.

Finally, a patrol discovered that the superior had escaped from the prison and killed two guards.

They were immediately terrified.

Keep in mind that they had just betrayed and taken power.

They immediately arrested the people involved.

While interrogating him, they reported to Wenren Sheng.

When Wenren Sheng heard that his superior had fled, he simply smiled.

"Haha, it's good that you escaped, so it won't be boring for me to kill you."

He most liked to deal with those who were ruthless, barbaric, and hypocritical, showing them what it meant to reap what you sow.

Wenren Sheng ordered his men to pursue the superior.

He himself was only preparing to ascend the throne and become emperor.

He had done a lot of historical research before, but he never actually became emperor.

After all, this can be said to be the ugliest profession in history.

It is a position that everyone aspires to, yet it is also the most despicable.

It absorbs the blood and sweat of everyone, and while there are few responsible emperors, it often drags everyone into a deep pit.

Just like the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

The people were living a peaceful and prosperous life, but because of an emperor who was ambitious and eager to get things done quickly, tens of millions of people were dragged into hell.

The reason is that no one can restrain this emperor, and no one can control his orders.

It can cause enormous damage before the other party completely loses its authority.

I have to say, buying a cheat code really makes becoming emperor so easy.

From beginning to end, Wenren Sheng hardly had to exert any effort or thought.

No wonder everyone loves a cheat code.

Because in reality, they see others who are born with advantages and have a smooth life without having to work hard.

They work hard, but even until their death, they can never reach the same level of success as the other person.

……

At this moment.

With the system in hand, he was about to escape from the capital.

Then the system gave him another prompt: "Find your own trusted confidants and regain their approval."

He asked in bewilderment, "But those guys have all been misled by the master."

"They're all focused on working for the boss and completely ignore me. How can I gain their trust?"

"It doesn't matter. They were just misled before. Under the normal illumination of this system, they will regain their normal thinking."

"So that's how it is. They really were misled." The superior suddenly realized.

After thinking it over, he decided to go find Li Shanye.

Because Li Shan is a civil official, he is confident that he can control the other party.

If it were a military general like Lan Yu, then he would be in a bit of trouble.

That would be awkward if they caught us.

Moreover, Li is skilled with this guy and has a lot of power to mobilize him.

There are many teams that need to be mobilized through Li's expertise.

The main reason is that Li is good at dealing with those military leaders.

Now, the higher-ups can no longer move the team through normal procedures.

Then he can only rely on personal connections; perhaps some fools will continue to listen to him.

So, guided by the system, he quietly found the courtyard that Li was good at.

At this moment.

Li Shanshen was sighing in his courtyard.

Memories of the following decades flashed through his mind.

He naturally knew that this was strange.

The son does not talk strangely and forcefully.

These things were not included in the knowledge taught by the teacher.

How could I suddenly have memories of the future?

Is his husband a ghost or a deity?

If they really are ghosts or spirits, then serving them will be even more troublesome in the future.

One wrong move and you could be killed by ghosts or gods; it's better to serve the one in power.

At least when the emperor killed him, it was because he made a mistake first.

Of course, everyone makes mistakes. In feudal dynasties, if you made a mistake and it threatened the imperial power, your entire family would be exterminated.

There were absolutely no rules.

As a result, everyone had no way out, and the struggle for imperial power became particularly bloody.
