Chapter 271: Bones by the Indeterminate River: A Tale of Woe

Chapter 271

Qi Huan thought carefully.

Now that the war was nearing its end, she still had 370,000 points, more than enough to purchase supplies.

So, she said, "Upgrade!"

The System worked hard to upgrade, upgrading to a level 12 system!

It turned the volume up to maximum and proudly declared: "This System, the handsome and clever old do-gooder, has reached max level in the third year of Yan Qi!"

"Thank you to the generous, beautiful, lovely, talkative and hearty host!"

"Thank you to the System Management Bureau!"

"Thank you to Li Country, thank you to the people!"

"Thank you to every line of code in this System's programming!"

"......"

When it finished its long string of acknowledgments, it discovered it had been muted by its host.......

One incense stick later.

Qi Huan unmuted it and asked, "What are the new functions gained?"

"In response to the host, the level 10 function is that your truck has materialized in physical form."

Qi Huan looked at the broken road outside the door and fell silent......

"The level 11 function is that your truck's fuel tank can automatically refill!"

Not only could this save points on refueling, but it also allowed unlimited use of the power supply in the cab.

Qi Huan was very satisfied!

Then, the System announced the final function she had been most looking forward to.

"The level 12 function is that you can connect to the exclusive hotspot shared by this System!"

"The hotspot name is: Host host, who is the cleverest System in this world?"

"The answer is: rixingyishanzhilaoyingjunlaojiling (The handsome and clever old do-gooder)"

Qi Huan fell silent again.......

She quickly took out her phone from her space and connected to the internet, but was disappointed to find she couldn't log into WeChat or Douyin.......

She didn't have a phone number.

"Host, there are always more difficulties than solutions, my condolences."

"I won't accept that!" Qi Huan issued a command: "Help me buy a phone number from Taobao!"

"...But there's no signal here."

The System paused, then continued to deliver bad news: "The host's phone can only receive information from the previous world, it can't send information."

After digesting this for a while.

Qi Huan resigned herself to opening Baidu, at least she could still access all kinds of knowledge from the internet.

She could still use Meitu XiuXiu to take photos, and watch a few episodes of Empresses in the Palace......

She could also read "After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System" on Fanqie Novel, which the System Lord gave five stars.

Qi Huan was content.

As the war neared its end, Southern Liang made a desperate last stand, dispatching their remaining half of troops to intercept the Li army's convoy transporting gunpowder......

Return safely to marry their beloved.

Return safely to care for their aging mothers.

Return safely to hug their babbling children.......

They had come to Southern Liang together, and she wanted to bring them all back home safe and sound.

Due to her position, she only hoped that Li Country would quickly conquer Southern Liang and end the war.

As for why she didn't persuade Li Shuchen to negotiate peace with Liang Country to reduce casualties, it was because she knew that both Li Shuchen and the Southern Liang emperor were ambitious men.......

The world had been divided for too long, and conflict would inevitably arise again sooner or later.

Rather than waiting for sporadic conflicts to break out over the next few decades, it was better to seize the moment now, unify the three countries, and end the division.

She couldn't change the course of history, she just wanted to hasten the end of the war.

She found Li Shuchen again, and after demonstrating the functions of levels 7, 8, and 9 to him, she said very seriously: "Shu, I want to go."

Silence spread, and time seemed to pass for a very long time.......

Li Shuchen saw through the stubborn look in her eyes and compromised: "I'll go with you."

Qi Huan smiled with curved eyes: "If He were here, I would agree to you accompanying me."

"After these years, He has shown both courage and wisdom, and can be relied upon."

"But Mo Wangshan is all brawn and no brains, leaving him in charge of the army is worrying at every turn."

"Shu, perhaps after the war ends, we can establish a military academy, not only to teach martial arts, but also to instruct in military strategy, to cultivate a group of high-level military talents......"

"Mo Wangshan has outstanding military achievements, it wouldn't be excessive to grant him a title, but on the battlefield, he's only suitable as a vanguard."

"With the lack of capable generals, the main camp can't do without you."

Hearing this, Li Shuchen stared at her with bloodshot eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

Qi Huan smiled and hooked her arms around his neck, pulling him down to kiss the corner of his tightly pressed lips.

"Shu, trust me."

"Let's end this quickly and go home together!"

"I miss Grandmother, and Little Nian'en......."

Li Shuchen tightly gripped her waist, pinning her against the desk, and asked in a hoarse voice: "If I don't agree, is your next step to run away in secret?"

Qi Huan avoided his gaze and changed the subject: "Shu, did you know? Er Gouzi always helps me run errands, helps me call you back for meals."

"Wang Fatty is very strong, with a bright smile, he often helps me and Doctor Shen move the wounded."

"The compressed biscuits issued in the military camp, Liu Dazhuang couldn't bear to eat them, secretly hiding them on his person. I overheard someone ask him why he did this?"

"He said, such special food, Cui Hua has definitely never tasted it before, he wanted to bring it back for her to try."

"Poor bones by the endless river, still in a maiden's spring dream."

"......I once hesitated, thinking of persuading you to negotiate peace with Southern Liang."

"But I know that the royal family of Southern Liang is vengeful. If we don't completely defeat them and give them a chance to catch their breath, given their wealth and warlike nature, they will soon come back with a vengeance. In the end, we still won't be able to escape war."

"So, let's end this war as quickly as possible. With minimal cost..."

"My System is already an old, max-level system. It always says it doesn't want to part with its first max-level experience. It constantly reminds me to put goji berries in my thermos and drink more hot water, hoping I'll live to ninety-nine years old so it can enjoy the happy life of being max-level with me longer. Later, when it goes back to the System Management Bureau, it'll have something to brag about..."

"It says it will protect me."

"It's a powerful entity from the future world."

"Shu, don't worry."
