Chapter 88. Spring and Autumn, Warring States Period (27) Juzi Ye Mo! (1)

     For two nights, Ye Mo was haunted by dreams of war. Finally, with a hopeful ending, she could drift off to sleep peacefully. It was the most restful sleep she’d had in all the copies.

     After 10 hours, when she woke up, breakfast time had passed. For the first time, she escaped from the morning training.

     90% of the guards in Chuyang City’s mansion joined the military camp. Now there are only a group of slaves and maids in the mansion. Everyone is more silent than usual, for fear of disturbing the rest of the young lady.

     While eating breakfast, Ye Mo listened to the guards’ report.

     The current situation is that the action of King Chu to reclaim other fiefs is still in progress, but King Chu Su has not yet issued any orders to Chuyang City. After cleaning, the city gate has returned to its original alert state, and there is no news from Yang Cheng Jun for the time being.

     Ye Mo chewed: “No news.”

     Whether Yang Chengjun can successfully escape or return to Chu Yang City is one thing, but the most terrifying scenario is being captured by King Chu Su and used as a threat. Maintaining her current character would be quite challenging under those circumstances

     The guards and maids thought she was worried about her father and tried to persuade her. In their eyes, the young lady was more important than Lord Yangcheng now.

     The battlefield outside the city had been counted, and only cleaning was left.

     The loss of supplies in this battle was not much. Flying axes, arrows, crossbows, weapons, and nails could all be recycled here. The biggest consumption was still the spiritual jade.

     But the large amount of weapons, war horses, food and grass, spiritual jade, medicine, medicine pills, etc. seized from the enemy, and even a small amount of food and wages, were enough to make up for the losses. There were still quite a few gains after counting.

     It’s just that the most inevitable thing in war is casualties, even if it is the winner. Regarding this, Ye Mo ordered to give soldiers or soldiers’ families comfort according to the highest standards of this era.

     “Young lady is kind and righteous.”

…

     After breakfast, Ye Mo went to the courtyard of Lord Yangcheng and his wife before heading to the Mo Sect meeting. She had at last secured the clearance and justification to access the treasure trove there. A portion of the weapons had already been requisitioned.

     Her objective for the day was to acquire pills.

   【Survivor Ye Mo has broken through the physical limit, Physical attribute +1. 】×2

     The maid was outside, and Ye Mo had taken more than 20 kinds of medicines crazily. The taste was basically bitter, ranging from generally bitter to extremely bitter, adding 2 points in total. At this moment, she really needed a companion Watson. The potion that enhances physical fitness is not so easy to identify.

     Ye Mo: “Check personal status.”

————————

     Look from bottom to top.

     The items in the inventory and medicine bar haven’t changed. This is due to the unique abilities of Mi Wenjing, the dungeon’s main character. Her roles as a Shaman, having access to a Treasury, Craftsman’s Workshop, and Alchemy Room, making this dungeon very efficient in terms of item and point consumption.

     When her physical constitution reached 90, it was quite normal for Ye Mo to fail in her breakthrough attempt during her meditation in the jade mine.

     In one battle, her agility attribute, which was always the lowest, increased to 88, surpassing her strength attribute. This was because, in the battle with hundreds of thousands of Chu troops, the priority was to dodge, so it was naturally easier to break through the agility attribute.

     As for the spirit point attribute, it is originally her easiest ability to break through, and the value is still the highest. 

     Ye Mo: “Add 1 free point attribute to the mental attribute.”

   【Survivor Ye Mo, currently in the “Spring and Autumn Warring States” dungeon, has reached a mental attribute value of 150 and is attempting to breakthrough their mental ability… The ability breakthrough failed. 】

     The further you go, the harder it is to break through the ability.

     Although Ye Mo failed to break through the mental attribute ability again this time, her intermediate control technique finally has some effect. A new skill has been added to the skill column, [Intermediate Control Technique (can mentally invade a small number of living objects)].

    This small number of living objects may refer to plants, microorganisms, and some tiny animals.

…

     Ye Mo stepped outside and chose a particular blade of grass in the yard. She tried to mentally penetrate it, and to her surprise, it was easier than her previous attempts. Maybe it was because it was just an ordinary grass, the experience felt quite mundane.

     But when she tried again, it became incredibly strenuous. After making the grass tremble a little, she withdrew her spiritual power.

     Ye Mo closed her eyes and rested for a minute. Half an hour before departure, Qiong finally arrived in a hurry, holding three bamboo slips in her hand, two of which were some basic science knowledge, and the remaining one was a related basic exam example.

     If this copy world is a parallel time and space, the spiritual energy will become weaker and weaker, and the effect of the five elements array will become less and less. Qiong should rely on scientific knowledge to fulfill her wish.

     But Ye Mo only has about a month left in the copy. If she can’t understand this knowledge in a short time, it’s better to learn the mechanism of the current world. Qiong’s future still depends on her own talent, which others can’t help.

     “Young lady.”

     Ye Mo took the wooden slip and asked a few questions first. After getting the answer, she quickly browsed around, pointed out some of the detailed mistakes she made, and gave an extended case explanation.

     When Qiong suddenly realized it, she was a little uneasy. She was afraid that she would miss such an opportunity.

     It was not until the guards reminded her that the carriage was ready that Ye Mo closed the wooden slip and glanced at her: “Let’s go to Momen.”

     Qiong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: “This slave thanks the young lady!”

     Ye Mo replied, “Qiong, you don’t need to call yourself a slave anymore. Perhaps you could call me ‘master’.”

     Qiong’s eyes and nose reddened immediately, and her tears welled up. Yet, even after boarding the carriage, she stubbornly held them back. This incident reveals her incredibly strong-willed nature.

…

     They traveled to Mo Men by carriage, using it as her base of operations. This was primarily out of respect for the esteemed master, but also because Ye Mo’s usual residence is anything but modest. She’s relocated her bedroom and workspace to the jade mine in the northern suburbs

     When passing by Yangcheng Street, Ye Mo could always feel the gratitude and enthusiasm of the people.

     The victory in the defense of the city was one reason.

     In addition, although Chuyang City has cut off commercial ties with the outside world, the military camp has assigned some tasks, such as mining, factory work, logistics, wall repair, planting, horse feeding, etc. The poor people can get some rations by completing the tasks, so that they will at least not starve to death.

     Now there is no need for public opinion manipulation, and the people have taken Mi Wenjing as their savior.

     When they arrived at Momen, all the officials were there. While they were meeting the young lady, they congratulated her. Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Sun Ba, Wang Qi, Wang Xue, etc. were all promoted to generals.

     In addition to congratulations, they also had envy and admiration.

     Ye Mo: “Why do you guys seem so happy?”

     Right after that, she was struck by an incredible stroke of luck. Her senior brother, Xu, told her that Master Meng Sheng had decided to bestow upon her, the ruler of Chu Yang City, Mi Wenjing, the position of the great leader of the Mohist school.

     Ye Mo had been contemplating how to fulfill her primary objective, but this unexpected windfall came so swiftly.

     “Master.”

     After paying respects to the master, Meng Sheng personally explained his thoughts to Ye Mo.

     They did win the battle last night, relying on Wen Jing’s strategy, mechanical skills, and military strength, they won unexpectedly, but in a long-term civil war between a city and a country, Chuyang City will always suffer.

     There are only three ways to solve this crisis. The first is to defeat King Chu Su and become the King of Chu, the second is to move Chuyang City to other countries and regions, and the third is to let King Chu Su withdraw the order.

     All three are difficult, especially the first two are impossible in time, only the third is feasible.

     And to let King Chu Su withdraw the order, it is necessary to add a code to Chuyang City, and this code is the Mohist mechanical skills.

     The Mohist mechanical skills may be an important reason why King Chu Su has not sent troops so far. It is not that he has fewer soldiers and his temper has become better, but that his ambition is fermenting, and the Mohist mechanical skills can help his ambition. He is also afraid of killing Chuyang City and letting advanced weapons flow to other countries.

     “Wenjing, you mustn’t underestimate yourself. I didn’t just choose anyone to be the new Juzi,” Meng Sheng said solemnly. “Since Mozi’s passing, only the name Mi Wenjing has brought the Mohist school back to prominence.”

     Ye Mo knelt down: “I will definitely fulfill my mission.”

…

     The handover ceremony of the Master of Mohist Sect was very simple.

     The former Juzi introduced the new Juzi to the Mohist disciples, passing on the responsibility of carrying forward Mohist teachings. From then on, Ye Mo became the new Juzi of the Mohist school, the only female leader among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

   【Congratulations to survivor Ye Mo for completing main quest 2: Become the Juzi. Attribute points +4.】

     On the 29th day of entering the instance, Ye Mo finally completed her main quest. This didn’t reduce the pressure on her shoulders; instead, it added more.

     She hoped that within a month, she could truly resolve the crisis in Chu Yang City and ensure the continuation of the Mohist school. She hoped that the Mohist school would be known throughout the land and that Mr. and the others would be safe and sound

     And Qiong, I hope women can regain their place in this legal era.

     It was truly a coincidence that Qiong happened to be there. After the Mohist handover ceremony, Ye Mo introduced Qiong to Mr. Meng Sheng, with Qiong’s consent. Qiong’s talent in mechanical engineering was known from the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

     “Wenjing, you are the Juzi now,” Meng Sheng said.

     And every newly appointed Juzi would typically recruit students. Meng Sheng had taken in Xu Ruo and others in the past. A crucial task of the Juzi is to pass on Mohist teachings, which naturally involves taking on disciples

     Ye Mo: “The students know.”

     Just like that, Qiong became the first disciple that Ye Mo accepted after becoming a Juzi, and also her first regular disciple in both the real world and the dungeon world.

     After the talent test, as expected, Qiong’s root bone talent is very poor, but her soul and bloodline talents are good, and the five elements are mainly gold. The descendants of the Queen Mother of the West should have been the heirs of the witch, but it’s a pity.

     As a teacher, Ye Mo gave Qiong his surname Mi. From today, she followed her and called herself Mi Qiong, and gave her a flying needle secret box that she had forged so far.

     The flying needle secret box belongs to the category of hidden weapons. There is a wind spirit array inside, which can help Qiong protect herself. If the flying needles in the box are coated with poison, it is also an unexpected offensive weapon.

     “Thank you, sir.” Qiong performed the disciple’s salute.

     Not to mention the others, Zhang San, Wang Qi, Li Si and other survivors were very envious, they also wanted it, I wonder if they could order one before they went back?

     When Meng Sheng saw the three wooden slips that Ye Mo prepared for Qiong, 160 more disciples were added to Ye Mo’s schedule, including Meng Sheng. They planned to sit in on the new Juzi’s lecture tomorrow.

     Yes, the Juzi’s lecture is also one of the traditions of Momen, but this is not the daily number of classes in the real world school. This kind of lecture is more like a kind of communication, and once every three to five days is considered frequent.

     The cheerleader, Wang Xue, finally managed to speak up: “Jing Jie, can we leave through the back door tomorrow?”

     Bang! Xu Ruo tapped her head: “Who do you think you’re calling Jing Jie? Xue Ji, mind your manners.”

     Ye Mo cleared her throat: “Of course, Xue Ji, but I wonder how much math and science you still remember.”

     “…”

     Wang Xue almost had her face disfigured, which made Mrs. Xu feel so sorry for her. She assigned Wang Xue a bunch of homework related to music and literature.  If she wants to participate in the society, she must stay up late to study today.
