On a certain forest path as the sun was setting, there was several horses along with a bunch of people.

Left Left, right Right. Gao Feibao continuously barked out orders.

Cant you just get off the horse and lead them. Gao Feihu couldnt hold himself back from remarking.

No, Im at the very least someone with a horse. If I got off, people will thing me a mere carriage driver or something. Gao Feibao retorted.

Gao Feihu had no words with which to reply to that.

Gao Feibao rode on one blind horse as he lead the other one by the reigns. Each was blind in one eye, making it easy for them to start turning as they moved. The past few miles had worked him to the point of being covered in sweat.

He wiped off the sweat off of his brow and let out a long sigh as he gazed up at the setting sun, Such a scenery cant help but bring out the poet in me.

Shut up already. You think you can make any decent poetry with your scholarly abilities. Sometimes, Gao Feihu had a hard time dealing with this little brother of his.

Big bro. Do you think there really is an Art of Five Thunders in this world? Gao Feibao suddenly asked.

Gao Feihus mind seized for a moment. He knew that his brother was thinking the same thing as him.

Supposedly, its real. Weve also seen it for ourselves, so how could it be fake.

We were too far away that day, plus there was fog, so I didnt see it clearly at all.

For that, lets wait until the Strategist gets back. Hes much more worldly, so he must know.

Right now, there are a lot of food in the Toad Camp. The moment Gao Feibao finished those words, he immediately went back to his, Left Right, left

Four people hid down in the bushes some distance away.

The landowner of the Li Village hid there. He had already switched to the rough-spun clothing of the poor, and his three sons followed behind him.

Dad, are there really gods in the world? His first son asked.

Of course there is! Where else did those two horses of Li Goshengs family came from? The only possibility is that the gods gave it to them.

But weve waited here for so long now, but we havent seen any gods at all. His second son spoke.

Wait a bit longer. This kind of thing requires patience and sincerity.

As he spoke, the sound of hoofs came from up ahead. Li Zhuang eyes lit up, Theyre here. Wait here and properly watch and listen to my performance.

Bro, stop acting mad already. When we get back, well get our women to cook up some food and well drink some wine.

Big bro, say, if we were to try to sell these two horses will there be anyone who will want them?

Probably Theres no one whos as dumb as you.

Mercy, oh bandit king. Mercy oh bandit king

Suddenly four figures charged out and dropped to their knees before the two of them.

Gao Feibao was quite surprised, and he reacted by shouting angrily, Who are you people?

Oh great king, were just poor people from down the mountain. Do you have any wheat in need of harvesting? If you have any horses, then you can just randomly give us ten or twenty of them in exchange

Those two sentences stabbed deeply into Gao Feibaos heart. He used wheat to trade for a horse, and who knows how many bandits of the Blackbull Mountains were laughing at him for that. He only had two blind horses, and these people are trying to get horses from him And ten or twenty of them at that!

He got off his horse and dropped Li Zhuang to the ground with a kick before holding his saber to Li Zhuangs throat, Talk. Who sent you here to piss me off.

Li Zhuangs mind blanked as he sweated profusely. Why did things turn out so different from what he had though? He could only beg for his life, Mercy oh great king, mercy Were all just poor peasants, we dont have anything on us

Wait a moment.

Gao Feihu got off his horse and pinched at Li Zhuangs face. Then he pulled open Li Zhuangs outer rough-spun clothes, revealing the silk underclothing he had beneath it.

This so called poor persons got quite delicate skin. And hes also able to wear silk.

A minion came up and spoke as he stared at Li Zhuangs face, Boss, this seems the landowner of the Li Village, Li Zhuang. Weve tried to rob him before, but his place has tall walls and lots of men, so we didnt dare t actually attack. Haha, how did he run up into the mountains on his own today

This must be because Ive been such a good samaritan all this time, so the gods took pity on us. This is our just rewards. Gao Feibao let out a long sigh before waving, Brothers, tie him up. Have his family pay his ransom.

The gachapon appeared in Chen Daleis mind, the capsules within it constantly spinning about.

Cheng Dalei was so nervous that his heart was about to leap out of his chest. Previously, he really did go overboard grinding the BUG, so hes been worried the whole time that he system might purposefully take revenge for that. His next lottery drawing may very well just yield him a [Thank you for playing]. He also doesnt know if his misfortune has left him yet. System, I wont ask for much, a BK-1990, a tank, or helicopter. Any of those is fine.

A capsule popped on out. At the same moment, Cheng Dalei received a system message.

Beep. Congratulations on receiving a beginners base defense blueprint.

Eh? The reward this time isnt like the last one. In the end, Cheng Dalei managed to find the systems reward blueprint from the cabinet next to the fireplace.

That a bandit camp needs a defensive setup is completely natural. Before, the camp only had five individuals in it, and there was nothing there, so no one would even bother robbing them. But its different now. The camp now has over 50 thousand pounds of food. Plus, theyre located among the bandits of the Blackbull Mountains. At this point, who knows how many people were staring at them, drooling.

The trick with the thunder isnt likely to fool them much longer either. Although there arent a lot of smart people among the bandits, they do still exist.

Its absolutely necessary to build up the camps defenses before they can realize this. Otherwise, hes no different from a bank, and all those 50,000 pounds of food are just stuff hes keeping an eye on for others.

Since the system gave him a blueprint as a reward, then he should take advantage of that to build up the camp defenses. This however brought up a second problem: There arent enough people in the camp.

Even adding in Huang Sanyuan, at this point the camp only has six people in it. Hes dreaming if he thinks that they can properly build the defenses with just those few people.

And he himself just so happened to have a quest active, and that is to recruit more people. When the camps population reaches 100, the system will reward him with another lottery drawing.

However, just where is he supposed to recruit people from?

As he thought on that, Cheng Dalei was rather worried. Population, or rather work force, is a major limiting fact to the development of a bandit group. As he was thinking about that, Cheng Dalei opened up the system menu and checked the current status of the camp.

Base: Toad Camp (Ruined starter camp)

Leader: Cheng Dalei

Population: 6

Skills: Unity, Healing

The night was quiet. Cheng Dalei thought on his own about how to grow the camp, as well as in which direction to further develop the camp.

Truth be told, no matter the era, bandits tend to be some of the least welcomed people. Chen Dalei would love it if he managed to draw a strategist like Zhuge Liang or a warrior like Zhang Fei, but even putting aside the question of whether or not the system will let him draw someone like that, even if he did manage to draw them, would someone of that level really be willing to help as a bandit?

Hah. Zhou Cang had tried to get Guan Yus attention with all hes got, and in the end, even gave his life for Guan Yu. However, even at the point of his death, he was merely Guan Yus weapon carrier following behind him.

Cheng Dalei doesnt want to be anyones weapon carrier though.

And this world Even if Cheng Dalei only had a limited understanding of this world, he still knew that a turbulent era is imminent. This doesnt mean that Cheng Dalei is all that smart or anything, but at the very least has a basic understanding of five thousand years of history. Although he cant be said to be that well versed in he, he can still basically understand the general trends of history. The current empire has enemies watching on the outside while showing signs of fracture on the inside. The house that is the Wu Dynasty has long since become ridden with holes. It desperately needs to be demolished and rebuilt.

The end of the Qin dynasty, the end of Han, the end of the Sui, Tang, Song In those turbulent eras, its all filled with the dying, the dying, and the unceasingly dying.

B the time that the actual chaos has arrived and heroes all around attempt to take dominion of the world, how is a little bandit like him supposed to stay alive in that world.

By now, he is already attached to this camp like its his home. Qin Man, Lin Shaoyu, Xu Shenji, Xu Linger Theyre already like family to him by now. He wants to keep this camp safe, and not allow anyone to take it from him.

But there really isnt that much time left for him though.
