The Super Universe Leveling Game

Labour: the rulers of the ancient empire forced civilians to do unpaid labor, including labor, odd jobs, military service, and hard labor. Simply put, they had to make you work without paying. It was fine if they didn't pay. However, the rulers wouldn't bear all the expenses and losses during the work. They had to bear it themselves.    

    

For example, digging canals in ancient times wasn't something that could be done in one or two days. If they were recruited to dig canals, their fields would be abandoned. There would be no compensation.    

    

In the process of digging the canal, if you want to eat, if you want to pay for your meals, if you want to mend your clothes, if you want to go out, if you want a place to sleep, if you want to take care of yourself... In ancient times, it was terrible to be in service for months or even years at a time of great work, and to come back with a broken family, few of whom came back alive, and even if they did, their families were gone.    

    

The conscripts were usually men, and in ancient times men were the backbone of the family. If the backbone was lost, the family would fall apart.    

    

"How many people?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

"Five million." Wang Feiyan replied.    

    

"How many?" Dongfang Qingyu asked again.    

    

"Five million." Wang Feiyan's voice was clear and her tone was firm.    

    

"Five million!" Baby Pig Kiss gasped, because this was Dongfang Qingyu's family business, she did not want to interrupt, but this number was too scary.    

    

"Black Tortoise City is going to pay five million men?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Wang Feiyan.    

    

"Yes!" Wang Feiyan's eyes were clear.    

    

"Is the Emperor crazy?" Darling Pig asked.    

    

Wang Feiyan couldn't answer this question. When she received the imperial edict, she also wanted to ask the eunuch.    

    

"What about the other cities?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

"The same. This time, we will treat everyone equally." Wang Feiyan replied.    

    

"There are so many cities. If we include the Green Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird, that would be 35 million people. Why would the king need so many people? What kind of big project requires so many people?" Baby Pig Kiss had just finished speaking when he reacted as if he had been shocked by lightning, "Mang Mountain and Fengdu."    

    

Only these two places needed people, and only these two places could accommodate so many people.    

    

"We can recruit people first, but there's no need to rush. This might not be a bad opportunity." After thinking for a while, Dongfang Qingyu said to Wang Feiyan.    

    

"You agree?" Darling Pig looked at him in shock. There were five million people, not five hundred.    

    

If they didn't pay, the players definitely wouldn't be willing to do it.    

    

"It's just for show." Dongfang Qingyu smiled slightly. Suddenly, there was no worry on his face as he said, "The Emperor wants so many people, which means that he is anxious. Those who are anxious will be impulsive. At this time, whoever stands out will have to face the anger of the Emperor."    

    

"What if no one stands out?" Darling Pig asked.    

    

"Is that possible?" Dongfang Qingyu asked. He couldn't even take out so much money with a Black Tortoise Bank in his hand. He didn't believe that anyone else could.    

    

This was not the ancient times, and there was no way to recruit laborers.    

    

"Yes!" Wang Feiyan left. She was very busy.    

    

"I'm leaving too." Darling Pig said.    

    

"Where are you going?" Dongfang Qingyu was curious. Darling Pig had specially come to find him. He knew that he hadn't stayed for long.    

    

"I want to go to Fengdu City." Darling Pig said.    

    

"It's very far." Dongfang Qingyu was shocked. Why did she suddenly have such a thought?    

    

"I know. I feel that Fengdu should also go to Mang Mountain." Darling Piglet's expression was very serious.    

    

"Alright!" Dongfang Qingyu stared at her for a while and agreed.    

    

In fact, he wanted to see these two places, too. The king had spent so much time and money on the construction, so it must be important. It would not hurt to know.    

    

Baby Pig-kissing was an assassin, careful, and if she went, she would most likely find out what was going on. Most important of all, Baby Pig-kissing was one of them, trustworthy.    

    

The old Taoist priest also went in person, but he was not familiar with the place after all. If he wanted to know the first-hand information, he had to be one of his own people. After Baby Pig left, Dongfang Qingyu prepared to go to Second City of Qingsha to discuss with Han Shasha about the five million servitude. There were too many of them, and this was something that even a country might not be able to accomplish. Asking a city to do it was forcing people to rebel.    

    

It is not impossible to revolt, but it is not the right time to do so now. The court is only beginning to decline, and has not yet reached the bottom of the hill.    

    

The General's House was still loyal to the royal court.    

    

He and Han Shasha worked together and believed that Liu Chuanfeng would also advance and retreat together with Ten Thousand Lanterns. However, before he could go out, the message rang. He opened it and was overjoyed.    

    

Seven-second Memory was back!    

    

Seven-second Memory did not come back alone. She even brought the princess, the emperor's biological daughter.    

    

"Qingyu!" Seven-second Memory stood at the door. Dongfang Qingyu suddenly stood up, surprised and happy.    

    

Seven-second Memory just looked at Dongfang Qingyu quietly. Dongfang Qingyu also looked at her without blinking, not saying a word. Seven-second Memory had lost a bit of weight, and her skin was even whiter. She had the feeling of a fairy descending to the mortal world, biting cold and not daring to violate. She wore a green dress and her hair fluttered in the wind. She didn't look like an archer, but more like an elf that came out of the forest.    

    

As Seven-second Memory looked on, tears flowed down her cheeks as her vision blurred. Dongfang Qingyu's nose was also a little sour. He opened his arms, and Seven-second Memory rushed into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest. The two of them just hugged each other, breathing was a little difficult, and they couldn't bear to let go.    

    

"I miss you!" Seven-second Memory muttered, her words filled with endless love.    

    

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Dongfang Qingyu had always thought that he was not good at expressing his emotions, but at this moment, he felt that his emotions were like a volcano erupting.    

    

After a long while, the two of them finally calmed down. Dongfang Qingyu was unwilling to let go of her, so he held her hand and asked her about the situation in the secret realm.    

    

After returning from the north, due to the princess's willfulness, she rode her horse and accidentally entered a secret realm. At first, Seven-second Memory was very worried and thought that there was danger, but later on, she discovered that this secret realm was a blessed land for her, because this was the place where the ancient god Da Yi had fallen. The entire secret realm was filled with fragments of Da Yi's memories. These fragments of memories contained his understanding of archery, and even complete skills. Each of these skills could shock the heavens and make ghosts and gods cry.    

    

When she first entered, Seven-second Memory was in a hurry to leave. She did not want to stay in the secret realm, but soon she realized that with her abilities, she could not break out of the secret realm. Helpless, she could only calm her heart and learn these skills and Dayi's experience and comprehension.    

    

As soon as she started, she lost herself in her studies and forgot the passage of time. She concentrated on her studies and forgot to eat or sleep.    

    

Every time she lost her temper and messed around, Seven-second Memory would slap her twice without mercy. Her identity as a princess was useless in the secret realm, or rather, in Seven-second Memory. In order to get out of here as soon as possible, Seven-second Memory would not be polite to anyone who obstructed her goal.    

    

The more she was beaten, the more obedient the princess became. Without the interference of the princess, Seven-second Memory was able to comprehend all of Da Yi's skills so quickly and come out early. Of course, the main reason for this was that Seven-second Memory happened to be an archer, and Da Yi was also an archer. The two of them were of the same origin, and most importantly, Seven-second Memory's talent was high. An ordinary person would need to study things for years, but she would understand in a few months.    

    

After leaving the secret realm, Seven-second Memory did not want to waste any time and directly returned.    

    

"Where's the Princess?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.    

    

"I said I wanted to see you and then send her back to the palace, but she didn't want to. She said she wanted to go back to the palace first, so I left her at the entrance of the palace," Seven-second Memory said.    

    

"As the dignified princess of the Empire of Darkness, you lost her just like that. If this were to spread, others would be so shocked that their jaws would drop." Dongfang Qingyu laughed.    

    

"It's just a good reincarnation. In fact, it's just a girl in her twenties. It's nothing special." Seven-second Memory said.    

    

After they finished chatting about their experiences, both of them were suddenly stuck. Neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.    

    

"You've lost weight." The moment Dongfang Qingyu opened his mouth, the awkwardness immediately disappeared, and an ambiguous feeling lingered between the two of them.    

    

"You've become a little stronger than before. I still remember when I first saw you, you were very thin..." Seven-second Memory recalled.    

    

"At that time, the economic conditions were not good. I was poor, and I couldn't eat my fill. I had a meal before, but I didn't have a proper meal. I was hungry." Dongfang Qingyu laughed. When he thought of the past, he had an indescribable feeling.    

    

"At that time, every day was very fulfilling and tense. Every day, I was very careful and did not dare to be careless. My nerves were tense. If I hadn't known you, I wouldn't be here today." Seven-second Memory said.    

    

"It means that we are fated," Dongfang Qingyu said.    

    

Ever since the two of them got to know each other, they had spent more time together than apart. They were clearly the first two people to know each other, but fate had made it so that the two of them had almost no chance to get along with each other. This long separation made Seven-second Memory decide that no matter what happened in the future, she would stay by Dongfang Qingyu's side and not leave.    

    

Unknowingly, the sky darkened and the lights in the room lit up. Seven-second Memory did not come out until the morning, when the Lone Love Cube knocked on the door. Only then did Dongfang Qingyu know that something big had happened. To outsiders, it was two big things, but to him, it was one big thing.    

    

The first big thing was that the princess had come back. The princess who had been here for many years had returned to the royal palace yesterday. The second big thing was that the princess was put under house arrest as soon as she returned to the royal palace.
