is the Ji family's seed....??
  "Oh, she want to steal my seed? Is it possible?" Ji yanhan laughed sarcastically, thinking that this was a big joke..

    "Then how do you explain, these two children are so similar to you? If it is not your seed, it is definitely your brother's ..."

    "Well, it is possible, no matter what, it must be your Ji family. The offspring will be there, and hurry up to check ... "Lohning also had a serious expression.m

    Ji yanhan was originally a joke, and his two friends showed an expression of no joke. He immediately punched him with an angry punch: "This unintended thing has warned him long ago and told him not to When you mess up outside, he dare to get me a child and see how I can clean him up. "

    " Your brother is a big star in the world . He has an illegitimate child ... "Mushi said jokingly...

    " Shut up! "Ji Yanhan immediately Fly past a cold eye, and then sip the wine in the glass, throw the glass down, take the coat and push the door away..

    Six black cars guard yanhan extended sedan, passing through the metropolis under the night.

    Inside the car, the warm light outlines the handsome face of the man, and a pair of dark hawk-like eyes stared out the window for a moment.

    Later, he took the mobile phone aside, flipped his long fingers a few times, and easily found the pair of Mengbao, Mengba videos that suddenly became popular on the Internet.

    Pull your finger down and glance at the contents of the comment area ...

    "Did I find that these two babies are very similar to the popular star Ji Yueze? Is it his illegitimate child?"

    "Not too much Like, it 's similar to Meiyu. "" It 's no secret that the celebrity 's private life is chaotic. "

    " The two children are so cute and beautiful, I really want to hug their mother! "The word mum fell into the man's cold Under the eyes...

    Some of the comments above are already related to the reputation of his brother. This matter must be clarified.

    If it is really the fire played by this guy ...

    Ji Yanhan stretched out his hands and pinched his brows anxiously. He had no way of remembering how much trouble  his younger brother done for him

    Today, my brother is on vacation abroad, and investigating the illegitimate child has to fall on him again..

    Ji Yanhan  pull through the assistant's Lu Qing phone number , in  low voice commanded: "! I'll pass a video to you, you give me an immediate investigation of the identity of the two children background, remember, by their parent's"
Lu Qing    should be clear Next, when I saw that video, the first reflection was on my mind  ... Master has children?

    How can these two beautiful, respectful little guys look more and more like the master's biological children?

    Based on Ji's power, investigating the information of a video on the Internet is nothing more than a chop..
  Around
 twelve in the evening Lu Qing passed on the complete information to Ji Hanhan..

    After taking a bath, Ji Yanhan tied a white bath towel casually. Exposed in the air was a strong and clear chest and clear barriers, which was the healthiest color.

    He reached for his cell phone and accepted a copy.

    Click away, lazy eyes, looking down casually.

    "Is she?" When he saw the words "Mother" on the upper column, he flipped his fingers down slightly, a pure picture fell into the bottom of his eyes, and instantly turned the waves..

    The child turns four next month, his father is ominous, and his mother is Tang Youyou..

    "Hell, why is this woman all day long?" Ji Yanhan was irritated..

    Even if he really has a fate with this woman, now this fate is really a fate...

    "Tang Youyou, if these two children are really my brother's, you look good." Thin lips lightly, the man's voice is extremely cold...

drugged by her stepmother..she lingered with the mysterious man overnight and was tragically..driven away from another country...
Five years later....
she returned with a beautiful pair of baby dragon! and phoenixes! However, on the day of returning to China, she got into the handsome president. What shocked her even more was that the president and her son looked exactly the same! A lovely pair of cute photos of MengBao(her son)....accidentally became popular on the Internet
 so one day....
the mysterious man long legs stop her, blocking her way. "Women, let's talk about the child's custody!" 
"Don't talk!" panickly she said 
the mysterious man directly napped her on the wall. "Okay, don't talk about the child, then talk about when we can get a marriage certificate!"

Princess makeover completed, Emma now wore a sparkly blue Cinderella dress and genuine clear plastic glass slippers.  Her hair had been styled into a neat blonde bun, and with Jackies okay, a bit of makeup had been applied.  Emma couldnt stop staring at her glittery pink fingernails.  

For his part, Grant had been patient while waiting for his sister to complete her transformation.  The fact that video games had been available in the salons lobby probably played a huge part in his generous nature.

Following their visit to the salon, Daphne had guided them to a reserved table overlooking the Magic Kingdoms Main Street, where they enjoyed snacks and cold drinks before they checked into their castle room for the night.

A light breeze ruffling her long dark hair, Jackie grinned to herself as she dialed her brother and handed her phone to the kids.

Hi, Uncle Blake!  Guess where we are?  Grants voice squeaked with excitement.

Yeah, Uncle Blake, guess where we are? Emma squealed.

Hi, guys.  Lets see.  Are you at school? Blake asked.  Jackie heard his grin.

Grant was nonplussed.  No, were at Disney!  Can you believe it?

No way, Disney?  Really? Are you having fun?

Yes! the children chorused.

Im a princess! Emma shouted.

Jackie reached for the phone.  Let me talk to Uncle Blake.  She watched as the children scrambled after Daphne, who winked at Jackie and led the kids to the opposite side of the café to watch the live jazz band perform.  Hey there, little brother.  Hows it going?

Everythings aces here, Jackie.  Hows the vacation?

Its unbelievable, thats how it is.  She was breathless with excitement.  We were greeted at the hotel by Daphne, our own personal guide, who will be with us throughout our entire visit.  The first thing we did after checking into our suite, yes, I said suite, was that they whisked Emma off to the princess salon.  They did her hair and nails and dressed her like a princess, and, oh, tonight, rather than staying in our suite, were staying in the fricking castle!

She smiled at Blakes soft laughter.  Im sorry its such a drag.  You guys should just come home now.

We may never come home.  You should have seen the looks on the kids faces.  Jackie beamed at the image in her mind.

The suite is so nice, I almost hate to go to the castle, but Emma is beside herself.  Weve already met about five princesses.  Ill have to send you pictures.  And apparently, were all going to be on a float in the Star Wars parade tomorrow.  Grant is currently planning how hell brag to all his friends.

That sounds great, sis, Im really glad youre having fun.

According to Daphne, it was Shasta who arranged all this, so I guess we owe our thanks to her.

Blake hesitated a beat.  Youre on speaker, Jackie.  Shes right here.

Jackies eyes widened.  Oh.  WellThank you, Ms. Pyke.  My children and I couldnt have been more surprised.  Were having a wonderful time.

Im so glad, Shasta responded.  Please, call me Amy.  Were keeping it real around here.  And it was my pleasure.  Kind of  Jackie heard the young woman sigh.  Well, kind of an apology for the way I behaved the day I got here.  I was rude, and Im very sorry.

Jackie blinked unbelievingly.  No apology necessary, she answered slowly.  And this surprise wasnt necessary either, but its very much appreciated.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful time.

So, Jacks, what are you bringing me from Florida?

Jackie laughed.  What do you want?  Theres a lovely pointed princess hat with a long flowing veil.  Ive kind of got my eye on that.  Or maybe a Mickey rain poncho.

You know me so well, Blake laughed.

The overnight in the castle was Emmas dream come true.  But even Grant had to admit that he thought it was pretty cool.  The following morning, they attended a character breakfast downstairs, and Emma was in heaven.

Which put her in good stead as Daphne escorted them to one of the other parks so that Grant could get outfitted as a young Jedi warrior.  He was invited to participate in a bit of training before the whole family was honored as the Grand Marshals of the parade that afternoon.

Jackie had taken so many pictures, she worried her photo gallery might get full.  After the parade, they enjoyed the park for another couple of hours, finally returning to their suite in the Wilderness Lodge.  After such a whirlwind couple of days, the quiet of their own suite was a welcome respite.

They spent the next day, and the one after that, touring the parks.  With Daphne in charge of plans, they saw everything they wanted to, with head of line privileges assuring that they never had to wait an inordinate amount of time, even for the most popular attractions.

For their final day of vacation, Daphne had planned a day of enjoying all the hotel had to offer, with its pools and artificial geysers.  She pulled Jackie aside as they enjoyed a room service breakfast at the large dining room table.

Now, Mum, weve had a wonderful time being princesses and Jedis.  Today, while the children and I spend the day exploring the hotel, its time for your treat.

Wide-eyed, Jackie accepted the crisp white envelope the professional hostess handed her.  Opening it, she scanned the letter quickly.

a full day of pamperingmassagemani-pediseaweed wrap

Jackie looked up to see Daphne nodding kindly.  You deserve a day for you.  Enjoy it and relax.  Ive got this for today.

Frowning slightly, she cleared her throat as her eyes burned with threatened tears.  Is this  I mean, did Shasta do this too?

She did indeed.  She insisted that you have a spa day.  Also, Ill be staying with the children this evening so that you can go enjoy yourself.  Theres a lot to do, plenty of exciting nightlife.  She patted Jackies arm kindly.  Go have fun.

After these buildings appeared, five figures also slowly formed before Zhao Fu. 

The two people standing at the front were both youths. 

One had a cold and handsome appearance, while the other looked refined and cultured.

Behind them were two men and one woman. 

One of the men was well-built and muscular, looking like a blacksmith, while the other was dressed like an apothecary. 

The woman was quite pretty, and she was most likely the owner of the Tailor Shop.

"We greet Your Majesty!"

The five people looked quite dazed after appearing, but they quickly came to their senses and half-knelt as they spoke in unison.

Zhao Fu was naturally the lord of Great Qin now that he had received the Great Qin's legacy, so he calmly replied, 

"All rise!"

The five people respectfully stood up.

Zhao Fu started to look at their stats, starting with the cold and handsome-looking youth in front.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Name: Bai Qi

Equipment: Coarse Cloth Clothes, Cloth Shoes, Coarse Cloth Pants
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Even though Zhao Fu had expected to see the Great Qin's strategic experts and powerful generals, Zhao Fu still felt quite surprised when he saw Bai Qi. 

Bai Qi was the strongest of the Four Great Generals of the Warring States period, and he had fought in countless battles during his lifetime, winning almost all of them. 

He had killed over one million people in his lifetime, so he was called the God of Killing.

However, his end was not pleasant – he was forced to commit suicide out of fear of him joining another state.

After looking at Bai Qi's stats, Zhao Fu turned to look at the refined and cultured youth.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Name: Li Si
Grade: SS
Title: [Prime Minister] 
Title Effects: Raises Popular Support, Population Attraction +5%, chances of attracting higher grade population +5%.
Profession: [Civilian Court Official]

Agility: 4
Cultivation: Stage 0
Cultivation Technique: None
Skills: None
Equipment: Coarse Cloth Clothes, Cloth Shoes, Coarse Cloth Pants
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After looking at Li Si's stats, Zhao Fu did not feel as shocked. 

Li Si was a famed Prime Minister of the State of Qin, and he had greatly helped the First Emperor of Qin unify China. 

However, his end was not very pleasant either – he was charged with treason and was executed by waist chop.

Following this, Zhao Fu looked at the other 3 people. 
They were:
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Name: Wang Dawu
Grade: S
Profession: Blacksmith
Skills: Forging [Can Create Weapons]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Name: Zhang Baizhu
Grade: S
Profession: Apothecary
Skills: Healing [Can Heal Sicknesses]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Name: He Yun 
Grade: S
Profession: Tailor
Skills: Tailoring [Can Create Defensive Items]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
All three people were S grade, and their other stats were not so important. 

In the Heaven Awaken World, grade was of paramount importance. 

There were nine grades in total, and they were, from highest to lowest: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

The higher one's grade was, the faster his or her cultivation and comprehension would progress. 

E grade was two times faster than F grade, D grade was four times faster than F grade, C grade was eight times faster than F grade, B grade was sixteen times faster than F grade, and so on.

Military forces also had grades, and they were also split from F to SSS. 

However, there were 3 sub-grades for each grade, such as F-, F, and F+.

After looking at their stats, Zhao Fu asked them to wait before he entered one of the rooms in the Village Hall, where the violet cube was silently floating in the air. 

He then looked at the Village's stats.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Village Name: Great Qin Village [Legendary]
Level: Primary [0/5000]
Village Area: 1 square kilometer
Village Territory: 46 square kilometers
Residents: 6/1100
Soldiers: 0/440 [Every Village has a population and soldier limit. Most Normal grade Primary level Villages have a limit of 300 people, Blue grade Villages have a limit of 400 people, Silver grade Villages have a limit of 600 people, Gold grade Villages have a limit of 800 people, and Legendary Villages have a limit of 1000 people.]
Currently, it displayed that the limit was 1,100 residents because 100 residents were from the Village's special stats, while the military limit of 440 was the number of residents that had a military profession.
Popular Support: 100 [Popular Support refers to the loyalty of residents. If Popular Support is at least 80, the Village will attract more people. If Popular Support is 0, residents will start to betray and flee. When Popular Support is negative, criminals will be attracted. Those people will of course not be loyal, and they must be continuously monitored or lives could be lost.]
Because the 5 residents in the Village were all given to Zhao Fu by the system and they had a Loyalty of 100, Popular Support was also 100.
Village Special Stats: Territory Crop Output +30%, Territory Crop Growing Time -30%, Population Limit +10%, Residents' stats can randomly +1, Soldiers' stats +1%, Population Attraction +20%, chances of attracting higher grade population +20%
Subsidiary Village Limit: 4 [Subsidiary Villages receive 10% of the special stats from the Main Village. Normal Villages cannot have Subsidiary Villages, and they need to be raised to Intermediate Villages before they can have any. Blue grade Villages can have one Subsidiary Village, Silver grade Villages can have two Subsidiary Villages, Gold grade Villages can have three Subsidiary Villages, and Legendary Villages can have four Subsidiary Villages.]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After looking at the Village's stats, Zhao Fu felt that his Village was quite powerful. 

However, it was a pity that it was not the only one because the Qin Dynasty was not the only dynasty to exist in China's thousands of years long history.

There were the Three Holy Dynasties: Xia, Shang, and Zhou; the Seven Powerful States of the Warring States period: Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han; the Chu-Han Contention: Chu and Han; the Three Kingdoms: Wei, Shu, and Wu; the Five Dynasties: Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou; the Ten Kingdoms: Wu, Wuyue, Min, Chu, Southern Han, Former Shu, Later Shu, Jingnan, Southern Tang, and Northern Han.

There were countless dynasties and kingdoms, and even though there were many forces that had unified a country, there were not that many legendary-level ones, and this was only China – there were many other countries as well.

At the same time, enmity and hatred would also be passed down with the legacies, such as Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han hating Qin.

The six states destroyed by Qin would definitely have vowed to destroy Great Qin, and this sort of hatred was simply irreconcilable and unforgettable. 

It was something that would only disappear when one side was destroyed.

Great Qin also had hated foes such as Great Han and Great Chu, who destroyed Great Qin.

All of these chaotic forces from history would now appear in this world at the same time.

There were also normal people who could develop their own City by obtaining a City Heart or by conquering a Village. 

Adding on the countless other races, one could only imagine how cruel, bloody, and dark the future would be.

Zhao Fu took a deep breath, putting all of this out of his mind. 

He walked out of the Hall, taking the five people to the Origin. 

This round stage made from bricks was where new residents would come from.

Normal grade Primary level Villages were only able to summon one to four new villagers every day; Blue grade Villages could summon three to six, Silver grade Villages could summon five to eight, Gold grade Villages could summon seven to ten, and Legendary Villages could summon nine to twelve. 

Because of the Village's special stats and Li Si's Title bonus, the village had a 25% bonus to Population Attraction, so the Great Qin Village could summon eleven to fifteen people in a day.

Zhao Fu waved his hand toward the Origin, and new villagers started to be summoned. 

Thirteen figures slowly appeared: eight males and five females. 

Some were elderly, while others were children.

The new villager's Loyalty was not very high: it was around 60. 

As such, the Popular Support fell from 100 to 70 when the people were summoned.

"Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World." 

After hearing this, Zhao Fu's vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu's life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. 

After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire's legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. 

However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.

I stayed in Żółkiew for two more weeks,  thanks to the feast organized by the Żółkiewski family, I made a few contacts that may be useful in the future. Of course, I also had to take care of my reputation, after the duel with  Wojewoda Kiszka, there were a few people willing to test my skills. I won each one. The fame of a good warrior is not everything. You have to be a man of culture, this was helped by my ability to play the bandura, a pretty good voice and knowledge of the songs.

The song "Zoriuszka" was the most popular one...

"Oh, zaria you, Zoriuszka, Zoriuszka  Wiecz'erniaja,
Oh, liuli, liuli, Zoriuszka Wieczerniaja.

Zoriuszka Wieczierniaja Sołnyszka waschożje,
Oh, liuli, liuli, solnyszka waschożje.

Wysako sounce Wschadi a dalioka swietila, Oh, liuli, liuli ... a dalioka swietila,

And on the Lies and on the Poly, and on the Morie. Oh, liuli, liuli ... Yes, on the blue-ta morje, there was a lot of licking ... "

The second hit was "Pasla" ...

"Pasla devka lebedi
Po zeleni levadi
Oy dolesh moya
Desh you s vodoyu da poplyvla
Oy dolesh moya
Desh you s vodoyu da poplyvla

Oy you bottom vsim ne myla
Chom ty mene ne vtopyla
Oy dolesh moya
Desh you s vodoyu da poplyvla
Oy dolesh moya
Desh you s vodoyu da poplyvla

Yak ne bachu girko plachu
Lita svoyi marnotrachu "

Of course, the vocal performances also served to win over the ladies... Sometimes when I was playing like that, I realized how much I miss metal music, but you can't have everything.

However, you have to go back to Jazłowiec. Going to elite salons is fun, but there are more important things to do. It took us 10 days to travel 300 kilometers... and I was already home. I was welcomed by the familiar hills and lake in which I trained in my youth... this is my home, my land.

I was greeted by Secretary Kowalski.  He gave a quick report that everything was fine in my absence.

In the evening I sat in my room and listened to a more detailed report. Property income increased, although not significantly. It has not been long since my reforms. However, the satisfaction of the peasants  and townspeople increased, as did their loyalty. There was one raid attempt ... but it was not successful.

We also had a visit. Podstarości (court clerk) came to Jazłowiec, he had with him the inheritance documents of a relative.


The inheritance documents were taken from the Podstarości (court clerk)... and here my people's sense of humor appeared. One of my men wiped his ass with papers, then returned them to the court clerk.  I ordered to reward this man with 100 ducats.

The secretary also said that Sveta is pregnant. It's hard to say whose bastard it will be. My or her husband. She slept with both of us. She slept with me for pleasure and privilege, with him as a duty. 
It doesn't matter if it's mine or not, even if it was my kid. I won't recognize him anyway, a nobleman may have bastards, but a bastard cannot inherit my name and coat of arms. But I will make his life easier. He will be educated and maybe he will achieve something in life.

When Kowalski finished giving me his report, it was well past midnight. There was nothing left for me to do but go to sleep, tomorrow move on with my plans.

In the morning I called  Saddat to my place and explained what was expected of him and what my reward was.

- I have a task for you, you will go to the territory of the Duchy of Moscow and you will attack villages and towns. Most importantly, you will take jasyr (slaves). Men, women and children. The gold and other valuables are yours, and remember I have not given such an order, two jasyr (slaves) are to be in good condition. Another thing, 10 km south of Jazłowiec. There is a small village. It will be expanded, you and other Tatars will get lands there. So you can settle there. You will be exempt from taxes on land and trade, but you will have to serve in the army. It also applies to your children and their children... on condition of military service.  Don't answer anything now,  pass the information on to others, and I am waiting for a reply by tomorrow.

Commonwealth Crimson Age

http://wbnv.in/a/d3fmp47

When Yasuda woke up, he saw that he already had no one and realized that Miyuki had already flown to the military academy, and Sayako went to prepare for school. Miyuki studied at the Alliance Central Academy, which has been considered the best for centuries.
 
Yasuda went to the shower and began to get ready for the school, which they go to until the age of sixteen, so after sixteen people in this universe become an adult and can go to the Shrine of God.
 
In each school of the alliance, they teach basic information about the Sanctuary of God and teach theories about what is in them, they also teach simple geno arts at will, because more people practice them because they do not have the money to buy more advanced geno art. only rich people or people who have a family gene of art that is inherited from generation to generation do not study them.
 
 
 Yasuda in the past chose not to attend martial arts classes because he was practicing family qigong and it was forbidden to practice other genetics until the user awakened the initial Eyes Rebirth ability, as it would damage the practice.
 
"Information about the Sanctuary of God"
 
More than a hundred years ago, science and technology reached a very high level, and people finally mastered the technology of space teleportation. Amazingly, when they tried to teleport, they found that they had not been sent back to the past, nor had they been teleported to the future. They never even traveled from one planet to another. A completely different world lay at the other end of the space teleport channel.
 
 
A world like people could not imagine. In this world, all scientific and technological means lost their function: a machine gun in this world was not as useful as a steel knife. Missiles and nukes will NOT explode like heaps of scrap metal. No mechanical or electronic equipment will work either.
 
 
This world was inhabited by all kinds of terrible creatures. The people who once stood at the top of the food chain with their wisdom and technology fell to the bottom.
But when humans killed some weak creatures and ate their flesh, they were surprised to find that their own bodies had changed significantly and rapidly evolved in ways that science could not explain.
 
 
What pleasantly surprised people was that in this world, with the evolution of the body, their life expectancy also increased, which was amazing news for all mankind.
In the next century, more and more people entered this world, called the "Sanctuary of God", gradually became familiar with the rules of this world, hunted its creatures and saw how their own bodies evolved.
 
The higher the degree of physical evolution, the longer the life. In theory, if you could keep evolving, you could live forever.
 
 
In this world, science and technology have become completely useless. The only thing that could help people was the most primitive fighting skills. The ancient martial arts, which are almost forgotten in modern society, suddenly affected here.
 
 
All the ancient martial arts have been re-developed, and after more than 100 years of development, new martial arts schools have been formed and prominent.
In addition to the ancient martial arts, the Sanctuary of God offered another tool for improving humans - the soul of the beast.
Kills a creature in the Sanctuary of God, the person had a chance to Get the animal soul of this creature.
 
The souls of animals had all sorts of forms and manifestations. Some of them could be summoned to battle for humans, and some appeared in the form of armor or weapons.
 
 
In addition, some Beast Souls can even help humans transform so they can take on the form of terrifying monsters, magical birds flying between heaven and earth, or insects seething underground.
"The end"
 
 
 
Yasuda arrived at the school with people from the clan on a large spaceship and ninety children came out of it up to sixteen years old and everyone went to the best school of the Alliance - the "Han Family School", more than a century ago, Han Sen and his wife opened a school and immediately she became herself popular in the Alliance and after a while there was not enough space for all the children, so after a few years thousands of school branches appeared on the popular planets of the Alliance, so thanks to the popularity of Han Sen and the Ji family, the school received millions of applications for the adoption of children. The school itself was very large, it could fit eighty thousand students, so it is difficult to imagine its size in comparison with the earthly one.
 
There were many trees and resting areas around the school where students could cool their heads between subjects.
The school taught ordinary subjects such as mathematics, speech of the Alliance, physics, astronomy and so on. But this school became so popular that it was created by very famous people at that time, but because the school had a virtual library that contained a lot of information about the first and second Sanctuary of God.
 
The library contained information about the creatures that live in these sanctuaries and about the plants that can be consumed and they will not harm health, also the holograms fully show the 3-D appearance of the creature and reflect their most vulnerable points on the body in red.
 
 
Another feature of this school is that any student can earn points that can later be exchanged for equipment of any rank except S rank, S - ranked techniques are received by school graduates with high subject or combat grades, since not everyone is able to cope well with training and fights are the same, so whoever received a difference from combat practice and from the subject area receives two S-ranked techniques to choose from. The trick is that Tier S technologies cannot be obtained by ordinary people, they can only be obtained by the military or people who have enough resources or connections.
 
 
Yasuda himself spent from 4 to 6:00 in the library and studied various creatures and plants in order to have a better chance of survival in the sanctuary of the god, at school he was considered a botanist and a weakling who for so many years began to bore them and even became lazy with talk to him. Yasuda studied perfectly well and was well versed in all school subjects, we can say that he studied everything by heart and especially the lesson is intended for geno art where they analyze their origins and how they work on already existing geno arts.
 
 
So the day at school passed and nothing new happened. Yasuda flew home by ship and went straight to the pool to heal his yesterday's wounds. He reckons Yasuda will be able to heal his bruises until tomorrow morning and be like a cucumber. Also, Yasuda did not waste time relaxing in the pool and practiced family qigong, he needs to find out if he can increase the amount of chakra in his body and check how far he has advanced in qigong.
 
 
Goji Pool is a pool containing water that is mixed with special solutions that penetrate the body through the pores and accelerate the body's regeneration to a markedly new level. For example: if you peel off the skin and meat from your hand completely, then in this water it will fully recover in half a day, we can say that over the past ninety years, the effectiveness of this water has improved tenfold.
 
 
Yasuda sat in a meditation posture like a Buddhist monk and began to repeat the first level of qigong in his head, and ten minutes later he entered the * Corridor of the open space * and after an hour Yasuda felt how gradually from the outside world energy flows into his body and passes through all the channels of the body, Yasuda felt a very pleasant chill in his body and realized that it was the chakra that had begun to cerculate through his body, although it was passing very slowly but steadily.
 
 
After some time of meditation, Yasuda remembered that he had not passed to the first level of his qigong and he was very surprised because in the instruction of qigong practice it was written that as soon as the user awakened the power of the eyes, he would go to the first level, and Yasuda remembered that the previous Yasuda did not even make it to the black doors that symbolized the first level. Yasuda thought it was because he had awakened the Sharingan in only one eye and he had awakened it in the other as well.
 
 
After thinking a little more, Yasuda realized that his assumption was correct and did not think about it anymore. Yasuda continued to practice and walk down the hallway, and so morning came. In the morning, Yasuda came out of the pool and felt lightness throughout his body and did a slight warm-up of his body, so the night in the pool affected his body, and Yasuda realized that his chakra had increased to an unknown volume. After that, Yasuda went to take a shower and then went to his room where he saw in the mirror that his bruises and wounds were gone, he dressed in normal clothes and went to breakfast.
 
 
Yasuda spent the day at school again and then went home. Yasuda did not lose the whole day at school, but really thought about how to increase physical strength in a short time. He watched several videos of popular fitness trainers and decided to use Klaus's classes, that was the name of the trainer.
 
 
Without hesitation, Yasuda began to list the formulas that were given in the free fitness course for himself, in order to find the right load for training and in order to find out how many calories he needs to restore in order for his muscles to increase.
 
 
After Yasuda arrived home, he stopped wasting time and began following his training routine.
The training included:
- running 10 kilometers,
- push-ups 30 times,
- squats 50 times,
- standard swing of the press 50 times,
- pull-ups on the horizontal bar 10 times,
- lifting the dumbbell 30 times, with the left and right hand.
 
 
This workout is performed 3 times a day, preferably 2 sets throughout the plan. According to Klaus, this will help ordinary people to raise all their attributes by 1.5 - 2 points, which today is very difficult with simple training.
 
The reason why this became possible is a special fluid that accelerates the regeneration of the body and contains auxiliary vitamins and nutrients, this fluid also makes the muscles develop faster and also makes them grow not in volume but in quality.
 
 
What I mean by this is that instead of growing in volume in a lot like bodybuilders, muscles take on the size of a regular well-trained guy, but they are not inferior to the same amount as in bodybuilders.
 
 
The result of training will be visible in about a month, and it takes 3 months to reach the maximum in this training.
After a little reflection, Yasuda realized that this was a rather lucrative offer and ordered a full set of a special liquid called Primolin on the official website in Skynet, and for an ordinary person it would take 3 months to train, but for him who has " Goji pool "it is not a problem to shorten training by one and a half months.
 
Why Yasuda will be able to shorten training by 1.5 months is very simple, all because the "Goji Pool" can restore the human body and the muscles are restored at a new level than before, and also much faster the body's body does not spend a few days and a lot of energy.
It was 3:00 a.m. from the start of training and Yasuda finally completed the first cycle.
 
 
Now Yasuda realized that it was good that in a past life he kept his physical body in good condition, and as soon as he started his race, his breath died (I mean, when you run a lot, then you start to choke or start hurt to the sides) after 300 meters and had to wait a little for the body to rest and he could continue.
 
 
At the end of the race, his legs refused to go further and he just sprawled on the grass near the stadium, which was located by the lake. So after Yasuda completed all the training, his arms and legs refused to perform normal actions such as picking up the phone from the grass or even bending over.
 
 
Yasuda felt a burning pain in every muscle of his body, it seemed to him that he was in much more pain than he had been beaten a few days ago. After 30 minutes, barely, barely reached the "Basseinaya Goji" undressed and fell into it.
 
 
 Yasuda immediately felt the coolness all over his body and in every muscle of the body, and the pleasant enveloping effect of the liquid was also felt. 4:00 passed and Yasuda felt like a gherkin.
 
 
Since Yasuda skipped dinner, he went into the kitchen and grabbed a beef steak from the fridge and made a salad of fruits and vegetables that were on his workout kit.

In the magnificent interstellar era, mankind has finally developed teleport technology, but when trying to teleport, they are not sent to the future, the past, or any land known to men...

This mysterious space is called God’s Sanctuary, where lived numerous unknown creatures. Here, humans will make the greatest leap in their evolution to create the most glorious epoch in history.

The magic device's light turned red then almost exploded if not for the fast reaction of Zhihao who released Selina's hand from the device.
"…Looks like you're one of the S class for this new term." Emily looked at Selina in awe.
'S class mana amount? This is not mentioned in the game as 'Selina' only has C class mana amount,' Selina thought, confused about the result of her mana measurement.
Selina can hear people murmuring behind and beside her as this is a sign she has an abnormal amount of mana.
"Look, the child is a commoner but has an S class mana amount," exclaimed a nobleman from the line next to Selina.
"Extraordinary."
"Does her gene has a mutation that makes the child have an S class mana amount?"
"But such cases are very rare."
"Very rare does not mean it never happened."
"You are right…"
.
.
.
.
.
After Selina go to the registration of Seraphium Royal Academy and measured her mana amount, Selina and her father going to their home in the outer section of Seraphina City. As the daughter of the family which consists of a rich popular designer and a high-class adventurer, Selina and her brother Landon are fortunate enough to live well and not lacking anything. Though Landon was now in Long Ya Empire, he studied abroad to become a warrior. Warriors in Long Ya Empire are equivalent to knights in the Seraphium Kingdom.
Arrived at home Selina called her mother in excited tones.
"Mom! Mom! Look at my result."
"Coming down, Lina darling!" Selina can hear her mother's voice from the second floor where her mother's studio is located.
Finally down to the first floor, Diana asked in anticipation.
"How's the result? Do you get in?"
Selina thrust both her hands that holding an identified card for Seraphium Royal Academy in front of her mother and grinning widely.
"I'm in! I'm officially a student at Seraphium Royal Academy now. Look at this mother, my mana amount is actually in S class!" Selina excitedly said.
When Selina told her result of mana amount to her mother, Diana stunned and turned silent. A few moments later she pulled on Selina's hand and hugging her.
"S class? Really?" Diana asked still don't believe in her hearing.
"It's true, Mom. My mana amount is in S class," Selina said trying to convince her mother.
"Congratulations Lina darling!" Diana said while stroking Selina's hair.
Selina smiled widely then hugging her mother back. She is relieved of her mana amount measurement as Seraphium Royal Academy didn't receive students who are not at least in the C class category of mana amount. Mana amount in this world of Gaia is divided into six classes, from high to low are S, A, B, C, D, and E class.
"Thanks, mother," Selina said to her mother who's brought to tears by the good news from her daughter.
Diana doesn't have high mana amount, she is measured to only have a D class mana amount, so she was worried about her daughter. She worried that she might have passed down her mana amount to her daughter as well. She's not worried about Landon as he inherited his father's mana amount which is A class.
She is truly worried about her only daughter. Her ambition to become both alchemist and official at Union Guild is not an easy feat. Even if Selina is a hard worker, she must have a talent for it too. If she inherited her mana amount then she can't go studying in Seraphium Royal Academy. In this world, children inherited the mana amount of one of their parents. This is why a noble only married another noble to keep their descendant to have talent and prestige.
Someone like Selina who has an S class mana amount despite being a child of an A and D class mana amount parents is very rare, even more so she is a commoner. It seems like her gene mutated and the result is her S class mana amount. One year ago Diana and Zhihao can measure their daughter's mana amount as children can do their first mana amount measurement test at five years old, but in the end, they didn't do it. They afraid of hurting their daughter's feelings if she knows she doesn't qualify to chase her ambition. But now, they don't have to worry anymore.
.
.
.
.
.
After dinner, Selina asked her parents for permission to rest. She then went to her room on the top floor.
*Plop*
The sound of Selina dropping her body onto the bed could be heard throughout the room.
"I didn't know I had an S class mana amount. Is this the cheat God gave me?"
"Hm... That might have happened because Selina in the game only has C class mana amount and affinity for Water Element like Mom," Selina said still in a sprawl position on the bed.
Selina turned around and hugged a pillow on her bed.
'Come to think of it, it's also weird that Dad who is an ordinary adventurer has an A class mana amount. Dad said that he was a commoner. But that is very unlikely because the commoner in Gaia on average only has mana amount between C class to E class. Even if that is true and Dad's gene has a mutation, which causes Dad to have an A class mana amount, but that can't explain the mana amount which Landon and I have.'
'If Dad's gene has a mutation, Landon and I should only have C or D class mana amount. This is consistent with what is said in the thesis of Abraham Eche Will that Sister Yulia gave me. But the reality is that Landon has A class and I am an S class. This can't just be a coincidence.'
"There's something Dad didn't tell Mom, Landon, and me. Could it be that Dad is a nobleman?" Selina gets up to a sitting position.
"Ah... But it's impossible. This must be only because our genes also mutate like Dad. After all, someone's thesis might also be wrong right? Moreover, this is related to genes, a very difficult subject."

Selina is one of those lucky people who was reincarnated to an Otome game world after being killed by Lord Truck. After memories of her previous life resurface when she was four years old, Selina has an ambition. An ambition to become the best alchemist in the entire continent or maybe in the world slash official at Union Guild. 

But how come I, Selina that never made enemies out of someone suddenly become a target of hatred by dozens of grandmamas who should just stay at home, mothers who should take care of their children, young ladies that already have fiances, teenagers that should have been studying for their professional exam, and toddlers that I don't know since when one of them is clinging to my legs. Why this is happening? 

"Lina just gives up will you?" 

"So this is your fault, you Womanizer!!!"

February 2006

Blake Arthur Bennett always knew what he wanted to be.
While his circle of school mates desired the usual middle of the road occupations; firemen, rock stars, cops or footy players, Blake wanted to be a photo journalist.
Cameras were a magnet to him. While other kids his age were playing baseball, or attending scouts, he would grab his parents cheap instamatic camera and painstakingly take shots of everything that took his fancy. Then, whipping out his moms favorite wooden spoons he had enlisted as microphones, he would interview any live subject he had photographed. 
Whenever he received enough pocket money he would buy one of those develop-once-and-throw-away types sold at corner stores for tourists that have either: 
a)forgot their camera, 
b)lost their camera,  
c)had their camera stolen, 
d)had no taste. 
And, at his young age he did not care.

Now, at the age of thirty two, he was a true professional. And he had worked damn hard for it.
In his hand was his latest assignment, a colorful brochure portraying the events at the Billington Convention Centre, the augmented Sci Fi Showdown. 
One of the biggest, brightest annual events to hit town, the flyer skited in bold. Blake had attended many similar shows around the world, usually for his work and sometimes purely for the love.
Now freelance, he was able to photograph and write about what interested him. His boss of late had fast become unreliable and when he became fast unfinancial that was the last straw. His pathetic, excuse echoed in Blakes memory
Sorry mate, had family commitments. The cheque will be in the mail (fuckin cliché) but, well, you know how it is
Yeah, he sure did. Or perhaps he would like to imagine he did. Lets see, it would be 58, brunette, shapely and willing, definitely requiring high maintenance. Wonder what his wife would say to that. Knowing her and her American-Irish temper she would probably commit blue bloody murder if she caught him out. Shit she was built like a bloody Irish out-house!
Still, it was never any of his business, except when the last cheque failed to arrive in the mail. The thought of blackmail did cross his mind but he was building a bridge and getting over it. You win some you lose some. Once his wife did find out, as these situations have a way of being leakedwellfor all he knew the guy was already dead! Ten years of hard slavery working and goodbye Mr Arsehole! 
It all came at a good timehe had the experience and now freedom to pick and choose his future assignments. He considered himself privileged, and damn lucky, as he had enough personal contacts throughout his career to see him receive assignments all over the world and boy did he love travelling! He did not care if the subject was a celebrity brats birthday in up state New York or in the midst of violence in the Middle East. To him the camera ruled and never liedhis weapon of choicethe truth captured for historians.
Alone in his study slumped in his favorite lazy-boy chair, he took a tentative sip from a tumbler filled with a rich malt scotch and eagerly flipped through the brochure. Being an avid fan of all that makes up the Sci Fi cult, the planned events were excellent. 
Heading the celebs were Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, whom he considered the Foundation Fathers of popular televised Sci Fi. With a bit of luck, he may even be able to discuss photography with Nimoy, who was an avid photographer in his own right. Then, there was New Zealands Lucy Lawless dressed in her sexy Xena costume and Elijah Wood from Lord of the Rings. 
Their appearances were evenly spaced out over the two day event.  Colour photos from previous events displayed vendors selling their wares to eager fans young and old from all corners of the globebuying, selling or swapping. There were scores of products and collectiblesnovels, t-shirts, cups, posters, comic books, key rings, and pc games. The paraphernalia was endless. There was the mandatory autograph signing schedules and of course, the traditional costume competitions. 
And right down the bottom in small type: 
Subject to last minute changes. 
Naturally.
He knew the readers of the monthly Connections blog and newsletter he regularly contributed to would appreciate his deftness and articulation. Huh, if they cannot attend they might as well have the next best thing. Encapsulate the readers with his vivid prose and descriptions. Tantalise his readers imaginations so they can picture themselves right there, make them see what they are missing out on. If they were astute enough to read between the lines, it would almost seem he was pointing a scornful, accusing finger at his dear readers for not making the effort to attend. This is one situation where photos did not do the subject true justice.
Throughout his vocation, Blake had developed survival skills in the exciting and many times cut throat media world of the photo journalist. In fact, it was sheer arrogance and cunning he had mastered and honed to a deadly point. A philosophy he held close was; if you wanna survive and be number one in this God damn world you gotta have ballsand slice off everyone elseshopefully without them knowing, until you were a good distance away! 
This fostered arrogance developed its roots at a young age. Blakes family were a close knit mixed bag Christian family, as Blake would describe them. Blake considered himself a casual religious man, or what he would call a non-practicing C-man. He was reasonably close to his dad and sister, but his strict mother ruled the roosta religious God-fearing, but loving mother who made sure he said his prayers daily and gave thanks to God for all the good wonderful blessed things he received. The usual stuff like food, clothes, air, water, parents etc. She neither encouraged nor discouraged his love for the camera, being indifferent towards anything that interested him personally. 
Eat your greens, think of the starving children in Africa, was one of her favorite clichés to try and bribe her children to eat up. As far as Blake was concerned the kids in Africa could gladly have his greens and any other coloured vegetable! But he obeyed when he overheard her rambling on about the Lord will strike you down and the good die young. The youngster believed his mother was certainly goodshe was his mother, though a pain in the butt with her strictness. He had another good reason to obey thanks to the nasty caustic soap taste in his mouth when she caught him cussing.  
On Saturday morning, the 4th April 1987, Margaret Sonia Bennett collapsed and died of a heart attack. She was in her early thirties. That marked the moment that scared Blake right out of any religious beliefs and he turned his back on his mothers traitor. Those seeds were planted into Blakes subconciousness and grew through his life. Be careful what you say or believeit just may come true.
This left Blake Arthur Bennett Senior responsible to bring up him and younger sister Sadie.
His father, who was quietly agnostic, and doted on his kids with gallons of generosity, bought Blake the latest Canon for his fourteenth birthday, two weeks after his mother died. It was the A1 model, and for its time, it took the world by storm. Blake, reeling from his grief took a serious dive into the world of celluloid. In his world, the camera possessed the truth. It would never leave him, or more like his neck, and would never force him to do stuff he hated (like eat his greens). 
A photo to him represented the truth of the moment, from there reality only got older. He despised people that manipulated the camera to fool people into a false reality, like double exposure and other techniques to show things that were not really there. 
After a few formal photography courses to learn the camera inside and out involving theory, techniques, film developing, special effects, night exposure, angles, motor drives, filters and so on. The best advice from his teacher was to keep shooting, never stop. He passed with honours and left knowing his eye would be stuck behind a lens until the day he died. He knew his natural talent could only be developed by practical experience and simply being there to get that one in a lifetime exclusive shot. 
One of his favorite subjects was taking lightening shots. Hundreds and hundreds of shots to get that one, two or three perfect shots. It excited him, just as winning the national lottery excited most.
But he had to make a living so he did some colour and monochrome portfolios, threw a few stories together and got a job at the Daily Dominion covering the Community and Current Events. Though reasonably paid for his efforts, in his soul, he never felt satisfied. He wanted to get out into the world instead of being stuck in a small town. The next ten years were relatively calm as he lived and breathed photographic journalism and made himself a name. He knew one day he would move to a larger upstate city or perhaps overseas. Admittedly, he had deliberately stayed in Salmore City, and it was not just for family reasons.
He viewed digital with a certain coolness when the strangle hold took the world by storm. Digital had its place and was convenient, cheap and easy on the novice. But the science, the beauty, the sacred knowledge (the endless rolls of film and years of practice) that only a true photographer can possess is only akin to a classic still frame camera shot. He saw digital as a cheat format for losers. There was no real scientific effort in point and shoot. Yes, digital for dummies was popular and there was amazing special effects that one can conjure up at a press of a PC command. But where was the challenge, the beauty, the artistry? In his view, a real photographer experiments with exposure, speed and time delay, focusing, angles, subjects, props, lights and endless practice above all. Digital versus still frame was likened to painting by numbers to creating an original masterpiece. Someone else or something else was controlling the journey and the result. 
But the camera giants all hopped on the bandwagon and held their sweaty hands out hungry for the publics almighty dollar and the incessant demand grew larger. 
Most people are just bloody lazytypical human nature he would muse.
Blake, like millions of others appreciated the 21st century technologies that revolutionized information and communicationdata transfer in the forms of ADSL, cable, satellite, wireless, and the ever shrinking microchipnot to mention revolutionized computer interactive homes and furnishings to make life easy. Not for him though, no way would he let his toaster tell him what to do! 
You could be anywhere and view the world from your laptop, tablet or mobile phone and record on the spot moments. Receive news, weather, sports, run your business, play games, plan your schedule, romantic dates, receive and send emails, surf the net, on and on all rolled up into those invisible energy molecules. And the tools were getting better, smaller and faster. Yes, Joe public knows what was happening in the world, anywhere, anytime. Communication Technology had given a virtual instantaneous connection for the reporter to the public, buthe glanced across the room at his old fashioned still frame camera mounted on a tripodthat would always be his first love.



Author:
Deb Renner never really thought about writing, until lightning struck one humid evening in November 2005. She has scores of unfinished manuscripts of novels, short stories, poems and lyrics stashed away in cyberspace, ready to one day face a brave new world. 

Until turning forty, Kate Willard’s life was predictable, organised and lonely. Then, unexplainable visions and dreams threaten her sanity. Believing she is going crazy, she desperately searches for answers.

Upon the discovery of a bloodstone, crude mental powers unlock inside her and lucid dreams guide her to Divisions — an extreme covert organization running a secret project; the Odyssey Bourne Force — so secretive, they deny their existence. Divisions possess an ancient stone portal, allowing for extraterrestrial exploration. 

Kate reluctantly joins Divisions and falls in love with OBF team member Doctor Peter Reynolds, a brilliant archaeologist who excavated the stone portal in Egypt. Amongst his collection of artefacts is a second, identical bloodstone, which increases her powers. Together, they learn she is a reincarnation of an unknown ancient queen who somehow saved humanity from extermination six thousand years ago. Though this amazing feat resulted in a tragic price.

It seems the imperfect reincarnation process has left Kate with harrowing and disjointed memories hiding the vital truth.

Everything seems reliant on Kate - but who can Kate rely on?

After these buildings appeared, five figures also slowly formed before Zhao Fu. The two people standing at the front were both youths. One had a cold and handsome appearance, while the other looked refined and cultured.
Behind them were two men and one woman. One of the men was well-built and muscular, looking like a blacksmith, while the other was dressed like an apothecary. The woman was quite pretty, and she was most likely the owner of the Tailor Shop.
“We greet Your Majesty!”
The five people looked quite dazed after appearing, but they quickly came to their senses and half-knelt as they spoke in unison.
Zhao Fu was naturally the lord of Great Qin now that he had received the Great Qin’s legacy, so he calmly replied, “All rise!”
The five people respectfully stood up.
Zhao Fu started to look at their stats, starting with the cold and handsome-looking youth in front.
Name: Bai Qi
Grade: SSS
Title: [God of Killing], Title Effects: All stats +10% and causes enemies to feel fear, reducing their battle strength and increasing his own troops’ morale.
Profession: [General], Profession Effects: Can hold two different military professions.
Achievement Points: Commoner (0/200)
Race: Human
Age: 24 (100)
Loyalty: 100
Stats: Strength: 10, Intelligence: 10, Constitution: 10, Agility: 10
Cultivation: Stage 0
Cultivation Technique: None
Skills: None
Equipment: Coarse Cloth Clothes, Cloth Shoes, Coarse Cloth Pants
Even though Zhao Fu had expected to see the Great Qin’s strategic experts and powerful generals, Zhao Fu still felt quite surprised when he saw Bai Qi. Bai Qi was the strongest of the Four Great Generals of the Warring States period, and he had fought in countless battles during his lifetime, winning almost all of them. He had killed over one million people in his lifetime, so he was called the God of Killing.
However, his end was not pleasant – he was forced to commit suicide out of fear of him joining another state.
After looking at Bai Qi’s stats, Zhao Fu turned to look at the refined and cultured youth.
Name: Li Si
Grade: SS
Title: [Prime Minister], Title Effects: Raises Popular Support, Population Attraction +5%, chances of attracting higher grade population +5%
Profession: [Civilian Court Official], Profession Effects: Can choose one type of military profession, Intelligence +2%, Constitution +2%
Achievement Points: Commoner (0/200)
Race: Human
Age: 23 (100)
Stats: Strength: 6, Intelligence: 10, Constitution: 5, Agility: 4
Cultivation: Stage 0
Cultivation Technique: None
Skills: None
Equipment: Coarse Cloth Clothes, Cloth Shoes, Coarse Cloth Pants
After looking at Li Si’s stats, Zhao Fu did not feel as shocked. Li Si was a famed Prime Minister of the State of Qin, and he had greatly helped the First Emperor of Qin unify China. However, his end was not very pleasant either – he was charged with treason and was executed by waist chop.
Following this, Zhao Fu looked at the other 3 people. They were:
Wang Dawu, Profession: Blacksmith, Skills: Forging (can create weapons)
Zhang Baizhu, Profession: Apothecary, Skills: Healing (can heal sicknesses)
He Yun, Profession: Tailor, Skills: Tailoring (can create defensive items)
All three people were S grade, and their other stats were not so important. In the Heaven Awaken World, grade was of paramount importance. There were nine grades in total, and they were, from highest to lowest: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
The higher one’s grade was, the faster his or her cultivation and comprehension would progress. E grade was two times faster than F grade, D grade was four times faster than F grade, C grade was eight times faster than F grade, B grade was sixteen times faster than F grade, and so on.
Military forces also had grades, and they were also split from F to SSS. However, there were 3 sub-grades for each grade, such as F-, F, and F+.
After looking at their stats, Zhao Fu asked them to wait before he entered one of the rooms in the Village Hall, where the violet cube was silently floating in the air. He then looked at the Village’s stats.
Village Name: Great Qin Village (Legendary)
Level: Primary (0/5000)
Village Area: 1 square kilometer
Village Territory: 46 square kilometers
Residents: 6/1100
Soldiers: 0/440 (Every Village has a population and soldier limit. Most Normal grade Primary level Villages have a limit of 300 people, Blue grade Villages have a limit of 400 people, Silver grade Villages have a limit of 600 people, Gold grade Villages have a limit of 800 people, and Legendary Villages have a limit of 1000 people.)
Currently, it displayed that the limit was 1,100 residents because 100 residents were from the Village’s special stats, while the military limit of 440 was the number of residents that had a military profession.
Popular Support: 100 (Popular Support refers to the loyalty of residents. If Popular Support is at least 80, the Village will attract more people. If Popular Support is 0, residents will start to betray and flee. When Popular Support is negative, criminals will be attracted. Those people will of course not be loyal, and they must be continuously monitored or lives could be lost.)
Because the 5 residents in the Village were all given to Zhao Fu by the system and they had a Loyalty of 100, Popular Support was also 100.
Village Special Stats: Territory Crop Output +30%, Territory Crop Growing Time -30%, Population Limit +10%, Residents’ stats can randomly +1, Soldiers’ stats +1%, Population Attraction +20%, chances of attracting higher grade population +20%
Subsidiary Village Limit: 4 (Subsidiary Villages receive 10% of the special stats from the Main Village. Normal Villages cannot have Subsidiary Villages, and they need to be raised to Intermediate Villages before they can have any. Blue grade Villages can have one Subsidiary Village, Silver grade Villages can have two Subsidiary Villages, Gold grade Villages can have three Subsidiary Villages, and Legendary Villages can have four Subsidiary Villages.)
After looking at the Village’s stats, Zhao Fu felt that his Village was quite powerful. However, it was a pity that it was not the only one because the Qin Dynasty was not the only dynasty to exist in China’s thousands of years long history.
There were the Three Holy Dynasties: Xia, Shang, and Zhou; the Seven Powerful States of the Warring States period: Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han; the Chu-Han Contention: Chu and Han; the Three Kingdoms: Wei, Shu, and Wu; the Five Dynasties: Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou; the Ten Kingdoms: Wu, Wuyue, Min, Chu, Southern Han, Former Shu, Later Shu, Jingnan, Southern Tang, and Northern Han.
There were countless dynasties and kingdoms, and even though there were many forces that had unified a country, there were not that many legendary-level ones, and this was only China – there were many other countries as well.
At the same time, enmity and hatred would also be passed down with the legacies, such as Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han hating Qin.
The six states destroyed by Qin would definitely have vowed to destroy Great Qin, and this sort of hatred was simply irreconcilable and unforgettable. It was something that would only disappear when one side was destroyed.
Great Qin also had hated foes such as Great Han and Great Chu, who destroyed Great Qin.
All of these chaotic forces from history would now appear in this world at the same time.
There were also normal people who could develop their own City by obtaining a City Heart or by conquering a Village. Adding on the countless other races, one could only imagine how cruel, bloody, and dark the future would be.
Zhao Fu took a deep breath, putting all of this out of his mind. He walked out of the Hall, taking the five people to the Origin. This round stage made from bricks was where new residents would come from.
Normal grade Primary level Villages were only able to summon one to four new villagers every day; Blue grade Villages could summon three to six, Silver grade Villages could summon five to eight, Gold grade Villages could summon seven to ten, and Legendary Villages could summon nine to twelve. Because of the Village’s special stats and Li Si’s Title bonus, the village had a 25% bonus to Population Attraction, so the Great Qin Village could summon eleven to fifteen people in a day.
Zhao Fu waved his hand toward the Origin, and new villagers started to be summoned. thirteen figures slowly appeared: eight males and five females. Some were elderly, while others were children.
The new villager’s Loyalty was not very high: it was around 60. As such, the Popular Support fell from 100 to 70 when the people were summoned.


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.
