There were many more messages, but Zhao Fu didn't read them all; he only selected a few of the more important ones.
One of the conditions was that the heads of the Ying Family family lineages personally stepped forward and expressed their sincere willingness to hand over all their power and resources to Zhao Fu. If Zhao Fu returned to the Ying Family Ying Family, he would immediately become the head of the entire family. They believed that Zhao Fu could lead the Great Qin to restoration and regain its former glory. They even made a solemn oath on the spot that if he had any intention of abolishing the Qin Dynasty, they would all die without a burial place.
These individuals publicly stood up to make such a statement and even swore such a solemn oath, which shows their sincerity, but Zhao Fu still has no intention of showing up.
"Because would you entrust your Life to a vow that has no binding force? Although the resources and influence of the entire Ying Family family are very tempting, it also shows the sincerity of these Ying Family."
However, Zhao Fu's strength is still too weak to control anything, and he doesn't expect his enemies to be merciful. He will not reveal his identity until he has the ability to protect himself.
The second message is that the inheritors of several small states in the northern part of the Central Continent, including the Wei State during the Warring States period, the Qi State during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of Wei and Jin, the Later Zhou during the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the Great Shun founded by Li Zicheng, are uneasy day and night, fearing that the Great Qin is also in the north. They are calling on all the inheritors in the north to form an Anti-Qin Alliance.
Because of the long history of Huaxia dynasties and the many small states they established, some of these states had the same name because they belonged to different eras.
This second message made Zhao Fu frown. "Because this is a bit too early. Right now, each force is only at the village or town level, not even at the city level. Most of them can't even leave their local area. The system forces are the dominant force in the Apocalypse World. How can they form Anti-Qin Alliance at this time? Are they mistaken?"
"Even though the Great Qin has received the favor of the Huaxia people and is one of the five ancient civilizations of Huaxia, its danger is only superficial, not substantial!"
"Is it possible for Great Qin to just run over and wipe them all out now? Absolutely not. But at this point, they've actually started calling for resistance against Qin," Zhao Fu was genuinely surprised.
However, only six people have joined this Anti-Qin Alliance so far. The other northern forces remain silent, because doing so would be tantamount to openly declaring war on the Great Qin!
The others also understood that Great Qin was the greatest danger, which meant it possessed considerable power. However, daring to declare war on it at this time would undoubtedly be unwise, as development should be the priority. "Since you know it is powerful, yet you dare to do such a provocative thing, it's like a child openly challenging an adult—you're just asking for a beating."
Although the Anti-Qin Alliance doesn't seem to pose any threat to Great Qin at present, its very existence is dangerous enough. Zhao Fu even sensed something unusual, wondering, "Who's setting a trap for Great Qin?"
The only possible candidate for such a large-scale operation, starting the planning so early, is the School of Diplomacy among the Hundred Schools of Thought, because this tactic is a strategy of alliance.
Zhao Fu was naturally angry about the actions of this faction. Since they had so quickly made their stance clear, turned against Great Qin, and even wanted to treat Great Qin as a pawn to be manipulated at will, Zhao Fu would not show any mercy to them.
"In the past, Su Qin united the six states, forcing Qin State to abandon its plan to become emperor and not dare to leave Hangu Pass for fifteen years. Zhao Fu, let's see if he has the ability to stop the rise of Great Qin!"
The third message reads, " Seven Killings emerge! General Star returns to Qin?"
Zhao Fu was somewhat surprised that the matter of the General Star had attracted so much attention, and that there was even speculation that it belonged to the Great Qin. Fortunately, they could not confirm the accuracy of this matter, but it was just speculation, saying that there was a high probability that it belonged to the Great Qin.
Zhao Fu really doesn't want to do anything too attention-grabbing, drawing too much attention to the Great Qin, as this would cause a lot of inconvenience and be detrimental to the Great Qin's development.
There were many people posting comments, claiming to be from the Mount Mao lineage, the Qinling Zhang Family, or the Southern Frontier Miao Family, willing to serve Qin and hoping that the successor of the Great Qin Legacy would take them in. Zhao Fu, of course, had no time to pay attention to these messages. Perhaps they might have some ability, but they were still considered small fry.
After reading this information, Zhao Fu quickly finished his meal and was about to enter the Apocalypse World when his grandmother called, saying it was his grandfather's birthday and he wanted to come over for a family reunion dinner.
If it were a normal matter, Zhao Fu might have politely declined, but since it was the old man's birthday, even though he had already eaten, Zhao Fu felt it would be best to go.
Accompanied by her own bodyguard, she casually bought a gift and then went to her grandfather's house.
Zhao Fu felt conflicted about this family relationship; it felt too unfamiliar. He had intended to leave after giving the gift and sitting for a while, but his grandparents held him back, chatting about all sorts of things. They even asked Zhao Fu Zhao Fu he had a girlfriend, intending to introduce him to someone.
Although there was a lot to say and the topics were both funny and sad, it still made Zhao Fu feel a greater sense of identification with this family affection.
He stayed there for quite a while, and then returned to the Apocalypse World. Another day had passed in the Apocalypse World, and a Void-Severing Beast had spawned in the nest. Zhao Fu took one of its Void Crystal and began working on opening the third path.
This time, the method to open the passage to Red Plum Plain was the same as before: using the Teleportation Array for directional teleportation, and using another ordinary City-Building Stone to arrive at Red Plum Plain, while also gaining 10 battle merits.
Speaking of which, I wonder if these battle merits can be farmed. Do you get 10 battle merits for each region you visit? If so, then becoming a baron would be a piece of cake. Crossing a region might be incredibly difficult for ordinary people.
But now it's easy for the Great Qin. They can open a path to another place every three days. The title of baron requires 1,000 battle merits, and going to a region will earn 10 battle merits. 10 regions will earn 100 battle merits, and 100 regions will earn 1,000 battle merits.
Zhao Fu also glanced at the others Zhao Fu had brought besides himself. Although they weren't players but natives, their battle merits had increased, indicating that the battle merit rewards in this area were also effective for natives.
However, opening a passage to another region every three days, and opening 100 passages would take 300 days, which is a bit long. But there are other ways to obtain battle merits. You can kill elite monsters or conquer villages, so it's quite easy for Zhao Fu to collect the three baron titles and meet the requirements for upgrading the small town.
