Fragment of the Book of Duplication

Looking at the thin secret letter, Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and looked at Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu has a lovely smile.

"Yellow Turbans thieves retreated?"

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen asked confusedly.

The smile on Mi Zhu's face faded slightly, showing a look of surprise. He hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

"The news of the Yellow Turbans thieves' retreat was just sent by spies outside the city. Even I only learned about it half an hour ago. How did little brother Bai know?"

Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "Two reasons. First, the Yellow Turbans thieves lost two great doctors, the southern defense line collapsed, and their strength was greatly reduced. However, our two sides have just completed the rendezvous, and our strength has greatly increased. Under the circumstances of one and the other, it is reasonable for the Yellow Turbans thieves to want to retreat..."

Li Shuyi sat across from Bai Xiaowen with a sullen face, saying nothing, but looking at Mi Zhu with a hint of sympathy. According to her experience, Bai Xiaowen should have turned on the cheating mode.

"What about the second reason?" Mi Zhu asked curiously.

"Secondly, I can see from Master Mi's actions that the current situation of Xuzhou City is delicate. Originally, with Master Mi's status, it is not difficult to meet my lord, so why do you have to write a secret letter and leave it to me, a stranger, to deliver?" Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "Obviously, my lord is a powerful dragon across the river, and his arrival has touched the nerves of an old local snake!"

"The prerequisite for internal fighting is that the external threat has disappeared, so I judge that the Yellow Turbans thief has retreated. Now even Lord Mi, in order to avoid the attention of this old local snake, must act carefully and spend a lot of money to send me a message..."

Bai Xiaowen snorted and directly chose to reject Mi Zhu's mission "Secret Letter". Then he stood up and said coldly, "Am I such a stupid little person who regards wealth as life in Master Mi's eyes? You are using money to humiliate me!"

The words are generous and resonant.

Mi Zhu sighed and said, "As little brother Bai said, Tao Gongzu is mediocre and incompetent. He has no ambition to help the world and no plan to protect the country and the people. He is just an old local snake. Xuzhou is a battleground for military strategists. If it is not guarded by a powerful dragon with great talent and strategy, I am afraid that sooner or later it will fall into the hands of Yellow Turbans thieves and it will no longer be Han Empire territory."

Bai Xiaowen coughed. "Lord Mi, you may want to take refuge with my lord."

"Yes," now that Bai Xiaowen had seen through it, Mi Zhu no longer held back and said cheerfully, "I, Mi Family, am also considered rich in Xuzhou. Being on good terms with Zang, Chen and other aristocratic families, I have long been dissatisfied with Tao Gongzu. As long as Liu Bei nods, Xuzhou can change its banner overnight and become the foundation of Liu Bei."

After a pause, Mi Zhu continued, "Brother Bai, you already know about this matter now, and you should understand that it is of great importance. I beg you to personally deliver this letter to Liu Bei. I am willing to reward you with heavy treasures."

At this time, the Spirit Realm prompt message sounded again.

"Step 1 of side mission, secret message is enabled. Mission difficulty: B."

"Task goal: Give Mi Zhu's secret message to Liu Bei."

"Task reward: Master-Forged Gold Ingot*10; Fragment of the Book of Duplication."

[Fragments of the Book of Copy: B+ grade props, which can copy other props (B grade or below) and turn them into exactly the same props and items as the target.]

Mi Zhu originally planned to keep Bai Xiaowen from knowing the inside story and just act as an errand courier, so the task rewards would naturally be much lower.

Now that Bai Xiaowen knows the inside story and is a small partner doing business together, Mi Zhu can only increase his own chips.

"Hey, Master Mi's treasure seems a little incomplete."

After seeing the attributes of Book of Duplication, Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up at first, and then he saw the words "broken page" and the level limit of the copied props, which made him a little disappointed. Props below B-Tier or B-Tier are not very valuable.

Mi Zhu said, "Brother Bai, as long as you actively contact Mi Family and Liu Bei and make meritorious deeds, you can get more fragmented pages and put them together to get a complete treasure."

Bai Xiaowen felt secretly satisfied in his heart, nodded and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Mi has the intention to join my lord, we are a family, and sending letters is our duty. The behavior of Mr. Mi to humiliate me with money before is really looking down on Bai... Hmm, how many fragments of pages can be used to piece together a complete treasure?"

Mi Zhu: "Three copies."

Bai Xiaowen chuckled, took the secret letter, and put it in Storage Space. Li Shuyi stood aside and looked at Bai Xiaowen with almost adoration.

After leaving the other hospital, Li Shuyi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Xiao Wen, I really don't know how long it will take to practice before I can be as shameless as you."

Bai Xiaowen made a sound, "Mi Zhu himself is not honest and wants to use me as a courier. Of course I have to show him some tricks... Hehe, but this small counterattack, I got a good mission reward."

"When you refused the task of delivering the letter, I was really sweating. Unexpectedly, the final task was to deliver the letter, but the task reward added an additional B+ level prop...Xiao Wen, I don't understand. Is talking really so useful?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and then said seriously, "Every Spirit Realm character has his own thoughts and scheming. They are very different from NPCs in traditional video games. Spirit Realm Rules doesn't either It does not interfere with the independent thinking of these characters, but from a fair perspective, we generate tasks and rewards based on our interaction with the Spirit Realm characters... So we should be more careful when accepting tasks and try to dig out as many rewards as possible."

The two walked all the way to the Liu Bei's Army camp, discussing in low voices the newly triggered historical plot - Three Cessions of Xuzhou.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian Three Cessions of Xuzhou gives to Liu Bei, but you are not so willing," Bai Xiaowen points He analyzed, "At least the first two concessions were more of a test. Tao Qian is not a lonely old man. He has a pair of sons. Why not leave Xuzhou to his heirs but to outsiders?"

"Who is he testing, Liu Bei?" Li Shuyi asked, "But if Liu Bei takes over Xuzhou's seal honestly and unceremoniously, wouldn't he let Tao Qian sit on the wax?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Of course Tao Qian is not testing Liu Bei, he is very sure that Liu Bei will not accept the seal. You must know that Liu Bei has grown from a vendor selling straw sandals to today, relying on the golden sign of benevolence and righteousness!"

"Anything that damages Liu Bei's reputation is tantamount to cutting off his roots. Look at Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian was defeated by Xuzhou twice before, and once by Cao Cao's army is on the side, and once Cao Cao has just retreated... If Liu Bei takes the seal, it will inevitably end up with a reputation of 'taking advantage of others', or at least 'taking advantage of favors', right?"

"So, Tao Qian is testing his subordinates! Let's see who supports Liu Bei and leads Xuzhou!"
