Chapter 189: [Encircling the Cities from the Countryside] The Impending Counter-Encirclement Campaign (5.2k Double-Length)
Hiss—
The livestream host Yang Lang took a sharp breath.
He didn't expect that these golden exclamation points would trigger a [plot card] with a dedicated CG.
The Blue Star viewers in the livestream room were also full of amazement, and the bullet comments exploded instantly.
[Wow, even though the progress in the first half of the CG was not smooth, why did it feel like the whole world fell silent as soon as that man appeared?]
[You felt that too?! Wow!]
[This figure with the Hunan accent is definitely a top-level boss!!!]
[The shot of the fire flickering in the mountains was perfect, especially that line 'that year... he turned around, and the spark had a direction.']
[Chills down my spine!!!]
[Host, quickly check the replay, when exactly was it triggered!]
Following the prompts in the bullet comments.
Yang Lang immediately opened the Celestial Shark Live replay.
He rewound from the time of discovery.
It wasn't until he was in a donkey cart entering the town that he realized the moment it triggered was when he brushed past someone on the way to the market after entering the town.
In the replay, he was obliviously chatting with the viewers in the livestream room.
Seeing how he missed it, Yang Lang regretted it, wanting to slap himself, and looked toward the marketplace, hoping to find it, but felt powerless in the dense crowd.
Because it had already been over twenty minutes since entering the town to this point.
The whole marketplace was bustling, and in twenty minutes, who knows how many people came and went, plus that person had already left the marketplace, making it impossible to track them down.
However, Yang Lang still held onto hope, searching the town for two hours.
And the Blue Star viewers in the livestream room also watched for two hours.
Until Yang Lang was starving, he had to give up, found a small stall to eat something, and sat in a corner talking with the Blue Star viewers in the livestream room:
"No, I'm not going to Nanchang."
"I'll just wait here."
"Since the [plot card] was triggered here, it must be related to this place."
"And from those few scenes in the CG."
"There are also buildings from this town, so I just need to wait."
"Missed the first chance."
"Can't miss the second one!"
Yang Lang decided to stay.
The Blue Star viewers in the livestream room also clicked subscribe, so when Yang Lang truly triggers the plot, they would receive a notification.
Some veteran viewers took the opportunity to post the CG online.
It attracted quite a bit of attention.
At this moment on the [Republic] timeline, the [Autumn Harvest Uprising] event was still grey, clearly not having started the plot experience, unable to activate.
The Blue Star players here were also looking forward, after all, with such a beginning CG.
If the event truly triggers, wouldn't it be even more exciting?
At this moment.
Not only Yang Lang, Tian Kai and these hosts triggered the golden plot card of [Autumn Harvest Uprising] [Nanchang Uprising].
Because the timeline choices were only those, and with millions of players on Blue Star, although each person's identity and time choice in the individual narrative varied.
But with the numbers piling up, some were bound to hit by accident.
Moreover, on the Polestar's official forum, there were dedicated posts collecting information, confirmed by the players' ongoing uploads.
So when starting and choosing an identity.
One could choose an identity convenient for triggering an event, rather than at the start, everyone picking the identity of an overseas merchant with assets in the millions.
As the understanding of the 'Republic' deepened.
The Blue Star players also organized their own strategy processes.
Although the future development of the 'Republic' was still unclear.
Based on the organized intelligence, currently, Nanjing's forces were the strongest, followed by the major warlords, for quickly gaining command of troops in the solo narrative.
Taking the Nanjing route and the warlord route was the fastest.
....
On the other side.
In the livestream room of a host who chose the 1926 timeline.
The host Du Yong had already arrived at the famous 'Huangpu Military Academy' of the Republic era.
Looking at the entrance of the Huangpu Military Academy, Du Yong's gaze fell on the mottled couplet on the gatepost.
[Seek promotion and wealth elsewhere, fear of death do not enter this gate]
The banner read [Revolutionary comes].
The strokes of this couplet were as sharp as a knife, each line seemingly carrying an iron-boned spirit.
Du Yong took a deep breath, speaking to the livestream room:
"Brothers, this is the real deal."
"Look at this couplet [Seek promotion and wealth elsewhere, fear of death do not enter this gate], in one sentence, pledging one's life to the entire country and nation."
"This is a height those warlords can't reach at all."
Plain words, clearly written.
If it's not for saving the country and the people, then one shouldn't come here.
The Blue Star viewers in the livestream room were also chilled by this couplet, the text of the [Huaxia Land] always capable of forming shocking sentences with profound meanings.
Du Yong stood gazing at the couplet for a long time, then looked towards the entrance.
He walked over and handed in his admission notice, and the guard at the gate, accustomed to it, had seen every new student stand under that couplet for a long time.
After checking, the guard pointed Du Yong in the right direction to go inside.
Du Yong carried his luggage into Huangpu Military Academy, looking at the scenery around him while speaking to the livestream room:
"Thank you to the forum user [Wind Whisper] for the starting post."
"Anyone interested can go check it out, I chose my identity based on this user's post, and then applied to Huangpu Military Academy."
