Chapter 1 The concubine of the Zhang family

 In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty, winter has just entered, and heavy snow has fallen in Zhuo County, earlier than before.

Thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting, this is the current situation in Zhuoxian County.

At Zhang's Iron Shop in Nan City, a seven-foot-tall, slightly tired man took out an iron ingot and put it into a carbon furnace for calcination.

During this period, he raised his head and looked out the window, and murmured in a low voice: "This year is colder than last year... It is indeed the sixth year of the Guanghe Period, and it is only four or five months since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so is this weather a sign of an imminent disaster?"

To be self-reliant or to find someone to take refuge with, if you find someone to take refuge with you, not counting the county magistrate Gongsun Zan, only Liu Bei from Lou Sangju will be left.

"Gamification, low difficulty." Seeing the iron ingot starting to burn red, the man thought silently in his heart.

Everything around him stopped at this moment, limited to the interior of the blacksmith shop, and the painting style changed to 2D quality.

The calcined iron ingot glowed white, but the man didn't rush to take it out. He didn't immediately take it out and put it on the anvil until the golden light appeared.

The golden light disappeared, and the iron ingot turned into a red-hot carbon steel ingot.

Next, continue to wait, and the steel ingot will continue to flash white light three times, during which there will be a golden light for about one second.

The man needs to predict the time when the golden light will appear and quickly tap the steel ingot. After three times, a long sword has been formed.

"Difficulty (low), result (perfect), forging increases experience by 20 (10), current (skilled 132/)."

A translucent dialog box appeared, and the blacksmith shop returned to its original appearance, but the forged long sword remained unchanged.

"The difficulty level needs to be low in batches, but the experience is too little." The man checked the sword, then greased it and put it on the shelf. "The skill level is to reduce the difficulty of the game, not to improve the skill attributes. I have never seen anything so weird.

The situation..."

"Dong dong..." The door was knocked, and a strong voice came, "Dadao, I'm here to pick up the goods!"

"Come in!" the man replied. A burly man broke in and walked straight towards the weapons rack, observing each item carefully.

We have all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, but no farm tools.

"Is this the latest batch?" The sturdy man turned around and asked, "The quality is still very good, and the production speed has become faster again..."

"Yes, just take it away." The man replied.

The burly man in front of me is the man's brother, Zhang Fei of the Zhang family in Zhuo County.

The man is the concubine of the Zhang family, his name is Zhang He, and his character is Tao.

He also has two secrets. First, he is a time traveler, and second, he has a golden finger that turns everything into a game.

After gamification, the difficulty is divided into three levels: low, medium and high.

The higher the level of difficulty and the lower the error rate, the more generous the rewards will be.

"Prepare an extra batch when you have time. I don't know why, but various places are stocking up on weapons recently." Zhang Fei replied casually.

The weapons made by my concubine are quite famous in Youzhou, not to mention the entire Zhuo County.

"No, I'm tired!" Zhang He shouted back, "We'll talk about the next batch in a few days when you feel better!"

A new era is coming, how can I be trapped in a blacksmith shop?

When a real man is born in the world, he cannot immediately gain fame and fame, but he should also ensure that the people of the area live and work in peace and contentment!

It was originally to test the golden finger, but now it has become famous, mainly because good weapons are so profitable.

"Old rule, spar with me three times!" Zhang He stood up, stretched, picked up a wooden knife and signaled to Zhang Fei.

"That's what you said!" Zhang Fei laughed and picked up the other one.

Even though he has been studying, painting, etiquette and rules since childhood, Zhang Fei’s favorite thing is the way of killing!

To say that the reputation of the Zhang family in Zhuo County begins with the ancestors being officials, it is rooted in the benevolence of the previous generation, and is frightened by the big fists of contemporary clay pots.

It's just that the huge Zhang family has nothing to do with Zhang He. After all, he is a concubine, and his mother is just an outhouse who was raised secretly.

Zhang Fei is very close to Zhang He and is his only biological brother after all. The problem is that his biological mother doesn't like him.

Zhang Fei said three times that he would not give him any money when he took him home. It was not until half a year ago that he relented and accepted his ancestors and returned to his clan. He donated a broken blacksmith shop and some money, which was regarded as a separation.

The two came to the courtyard. The snow in the courtyard had been cleared by the domestic slaves. It was rare that it didn't snow again outside, otherwise Zhang Fei would not have come.

Zhang He just came out of the warm forging room. When the cold wind blew outside, he couldn't help but shiver and tucked in his cashmere jacket.

My predecessor's nutritional status was not very good. After my father passed away, my income basically stopped, and my mother also died of depression this year.

My predecessor cried and fainted in a simple mourning hall, and then I traveled through time.

During this period, I supplemented my nutrition like crazy and finally regained my health, but I had to face a serious problem: the Yellow Turban Rebellion was coming, and my predecessor was not only semi-literate, not physically strong, and not famous, how could I start a business?

It wasn't until the appearance of Golden Finger that he had the hope to continue working hard. At that time, he almost thought about giving up.

"Gamification, low difficulty." As Zhang He thought silently, the yard where they were located changed, but seemed to remain unchanged.

The overall style of painting did not change, until the moment Zhang Fei came to kill, a quick reaction (QTE) prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

Zhang He quickly raised his knife to block, and Zhang Fei's knife just landed on it.

At the same time, a reaction prompt briefly appeared on the opponent's body, which was the opponent's flaw. Unfortunately, the prompt appeared for too short a time, and Zhang He could not even detect it, let alone fight back.

The advantage is also obvious, that is, if you can block perfectly, you can ignore the power of the opponent's move.

For Zhang He, what he hopes more than to counterattack is to block perfectly, otherwise he will not die but will be seriously injured.

"Bang bang bang..." In the eyes of outsiders, the two people in the yard were constantly competing.

It’s unbelievable that Zhang He, a concubine, could withstand Zhang Fei’s all-out attack.

The third quick reaction interface appeared on Zhang Fei, but Zhang He still failed to fight back in time.

The two parties quickly separated, and a new interface appeared:

"Difficulty (low), result (average), martial arts improved by 6 (3) experience, skill upgrade (current entry level 0/)."

"Come again!" Zhang He shouted, and at the same time he started gamification again, still at a low difficulty level.

"Okay!" Zhang Fei was worried that the fight was not enough, so he immediately agreed and took the initiative to attack.

It’s better to be my younger brother. He is the only one in Zhuo County who dares to compete with me at full strength.

Usually when his hands are itchy and he wants to be beaten by someone, no one dares to spar with him.

Zhang He practiced martial arts for nearly three months and finally improved his martial arts to the entry level.

All defenses were successful at 3 points, and perfect defense was at 6 points. If I reacted slowly, I was beaten by Zhang Fei and failed. I don’t know how I persisted in the past three months.

When a new round of fighting begins, the reaction is also fast, and after upgrading, the response time is slightly improved by about half a second.

In just half a second, it becomes much easier to block perfectly.

When a quick response prompt appears on the other party, the duration also increases, but it is very subtle.

"Attention!" Zhang He shouted, taking advantage of the other party's prompts to fight back.

Before the reaction time expires, tap Zhang Fei's shoulder.

Zhang Fei was about to pursue him when his shoulders suddenly dropped. He immediately took a step back and easily parried two pursuit attacks. This ended the competition.

"What a good boy, you can actually fight back!?" Zhang Fei was overjoyed. Even though the blow missed the vital point and even caused almost no damage, he actually fought back.

"I didn't get beaten in vain..." Zhang He said with a smile.

I felt somewhat dissatisfied. Not only could I not deal any damage, I also failed twice.

"Difficulty (low), result (average), martial arts improvement by 7 (3) experience, current (entry level 7/)."

Looking at the settlement data, it turned out that I couldn't counterattack perfectly, so I didn't deal any damage.

The gamification is amazing. You can hit the opponent just by successfully counterattacking, which is quite helpful in identifying weaknesses.

If you can counterattack perfectly, there is a high probability that it can cause real damage. In theory, even a baby can cause harm to an elephant.

It’s just that in low difficulty mode, the damage that can be caused must be limited, otherwise what is the meaning of medium and high difficulty?

"Come again!" Zhang Fei shouted, excitedly rushing towards Zhang He.

"Come on!" Zhang He nodded in response and tried to increase the difficulty to (medium).

The perspective suddenly switched to the third person, and a big word "danger" suddenly appeared above his head...
