Chapter 126 - Other Forces

"A Clan?"

…

"What is a clan?"

…

"Da heck is this!?"

…

Fifteen bewildered reincarnators received the same announcement . Most of them did not have a clue about the existence of a Clan from the system, let alone the Clan Contract .

<because of="" the="" founding="" of="" the="" first="" clan,="" clan="" contract="" and="" clan="" feature="" details="" will="" be="" published="" to="" everyone="">>

The system menu updated and more details appeared . Clan Contract and its details could be read from the menu now .

"The system is hiding this from me!?"

Liu Ping stomped his foot . He walked to his bed and sat down to focus on reading the details .

'I can form a clan contract with any reincarnator instantly, but one reincarnator can only recruit one native per year . I need five members to form an official clan and get the clan quests . Clan pool…'

'Shit! That Tong has gone further than me . '

'No, it doesn't matter . Our status is a world apart . He won't be able to reach me that easily now . History has changed . There will be no alliance against Dong Zhuo! There will be no Emperor Xian!'

'For now, I have to take advantage of the clan quest ASAP . '

"System, can I recruit Wang Li into my Clan with her status?"

[Haha! Nope! Members of the Clan Contract must be consent . But she has no soul, so nope!]

His breath became short and quick from the irritation . Liu Ping clenched his fists as he tried to think .

'I can't trust any reincarnator . I have to recruit a native here . '

'But one person a year is too slow . '

'FOOk! Fine! One person a year it is . I don't have a choice!'

"System, how can I recruit a native? What's the procedure?"

[One, the potential native member must swear allegiance with the Clan Leader . ]

[Two, the potential native member must drink a drop of your blood… Whoops, in your case you don't need to do this . So just make the person loyal to you and press the recruit button on the menu, then it's done . ]

Xia Pi City, Xu Province, Zhongyuan Region .

<this is="" a="" global="" announcement="">>

<because of="" the="" founding="" of="" the="" first="" clan,="" clan="" contract="" and="" clan="" feature="" details="" will="" be="" published="" to="" everyone="">>

A young man and a young lady sat side by side on a rock nearby a pond . At first glance, it looked like the two were flirting couples . But if they looked at them closely, their expression was solemn .

"We've made a mistake . We shouldn't form only the Soulmate Contract . We should have formed the Clan Contract instead . . "

"No, we should form all contracts that the system has, so we won't miss anything . "

"You're right . "

"But from the looks of it, we can only have 4 members this year, including us . "

"Hmm, this is painful . We don't know what the clan quests are . "

"Well, you shouldn't feel that way . If this is similar to mobile games, the system will make us do something like occupying cities or counties for rewards . Or maybe worse . "

"I hope you're right . "

The young man gazed toward to horizon as he thought . He spoke what in his mind for the lady beside him .

"We're at disadvantage . Zhang Tong changed the fate of the Yellow Turbans . Liu Ping will take the throne in a matter of time . But we can't break free from Tao Qian . If the Yellow Turban Uprising doesn't happen, my father will not get any promotion or get sent to be the governor of Changsha City . "

The young lady closed her eyes .

Her slender fingers flickered the small zither she had on her laps . As she played the zither, she gave the man a bit of advice .

"Relying on the Yellow Turban events or historical events won't help . There's more than one way to get your father promoted . "

"Hmm?"

"One, we hunt small fry pirates, thieves, and bandits . But it will take years to get noticed, which isn't efficient . Two, we march to Ganling City to subjugate Zhang Yan and his goons . "

The man frowned . He did not want to attack Zhang Yan for many reasons . The city was too far away and they did not have enough intelligence inside the city .

"Is there a third option?"

"Yes, rebel against the Han Dynasty once the famine starts . If we use the same trick that Zhang Jiao used in history, we can gather the troubled peasants for our cause . "

"That's impossible . My father and Huang Gai will kill me if they heard that . "

"Fourth option, both of us surrenders to either Zhang Tong or Liu Ping . "

"That's also a no . None of them can be trusted . "

"Fifth option, we change the history . Instead of following the customs of this world, we'll boldly go to Jianye and take the entire southern provinces . Then you'll be known as the little conqueror in the place of Sun Ce . "

"That's too . . . bold . I don't want to expose our identities to the world yet . There are still many otherworlders lurking . There are, like, 16 of them?"

"It's 17 now . "

"Huh?"

"I don't know why, but the number increases by one . Maybe someone has just been born into this world?"

"Ugh, forget it then . "

"We will choose the second option?"

"We don't have a choice, huh?"

"Indeed . But please be careful . I doubted that Liu Ping will promote your father's rank if he is aware of us, so we have to do this undetected . We will not use our skill in this operation . "

"Fine . I'll go recruit my father into the Clan . Can you recruit Huang Gai or Cheng Pu?"

"No, I'll recruit Aunty Wu . "

"My mother? Why?"

"Once we have both Sun Jian and Wu Guotai into our clan, it will be easier to rope in Sun Ce since we are relatives . Once Sun Ce joins us, Zhou Yu will follow us automatically . Then other officers will not go anywhere but slowly joining us, one by one . "

"Good . Let's get going then . I'll plan a strategy for the assault . "

"Please tell your father to gather more intelligence about personals in the northern plains, too . We might hit a jackpot and pick up someone famous . "

"Someone famous?"

"Historical figures . We are in the year 182 at the moment . Most of the famous figures are still young . It's a good time to scout talents . Who knows, maybe we can find someone like Zhao Yun or Guo Jia there . "

…

…

Outskirt of Ganling City, Ji Province, Southeast of Julu City .

Zhang Yan and his bandit subordinates roamed around the woods in search for someone in the forest . Most of the bandits had fresh wounds all over their bodies . Some of them were missing an arm or a leg .

"Brat! Come out! You can run but you can't hide!" Zhang Yan shouted .

There was no answer or a sound to respond to Zhang Yan's taunt . Every bandit felt goosebumps .

Zhang Yan turned around and shouted to a young man who sat idly on a tree while he gazed into a distance .

"Dammit! We lost him again!? Hey, boss! Please help us! Stop daydreaming already!"

Irritated by the sudden call, the young man threw a branch nearby at Zhang Yan . The branch pierced the ground as if it was a knife .

"Shut the fOOk up! I'm trying to concentrate! Leave me alone!"

The young man continued to read the details of the Clan Contract in front of him . He clicked his tongue after he read the requirements to establish an official clan to receive the clan quests .

'I can't recruit these morons . They are too weak and too useless! I guess my playtime around here is over . Time to ditch this place . '

'Where should I go?'

'The Yellow Turban Rebellion hasn't happened yet . I think I should join Liu Bei and drag them into my clan members . Maybe I can be their fourth brother . '

The young man leaped from the branch and disappeared from the area, leaving Zhang Yan and his goons behind .

As soon as Zhang Yan noticed that his boss suddenly abandoned them, he cursed .

"FOOk you! You hypocrite! How dare you leaving us behind!? I was blind for believing in you!"

His subordinates were panicked seeing that their boss left . They asked Zhang Yan in a trembling voice .

"Boss Zhang, what's next?"

"Retreat to Ganling! What else!?"

Hundreds of injured bandits fled back to the city with reluctant . They already cornered the young man that they were pursuing . Because of their boss indecisiveness, they had to retreat .

Within the forest, a young teenager in ragged clothes was panting while he was crouching behind a bush . He peeked around to ensure that there was no one else .

Seeing that he was left alone, the teenager collapsed on the ground .

'That was too close . I was lucky . '

'I don't know why that monster chose to leave, but I'm thankful . '

The teenager attempted to assassinate Zhang Yan many times after he took over Ganling City . However, the mysterious boss of theirs was too strong . The teenager had to run for his life many times in these short few months, but he managed to sabotage Zhang Yan Army many times as well .

Today, he fumbled and almost got himself killed by the mysterious boss of Zhang Yan . He was glad that he survived .

'I have sent so many letters to every neighbor lords, but why didn't they reclaim the city?'

'Is it because of that person?'

The teenager was scared of their boss . He clashed with the person head-on once, but he lost from his unique way of fighting .

Gazing at a letter under his bosom, the teenager hesitated if he should send this letter .

'I heard he was looking for me . But…'

'Can he be trustworthy?'

'They said he is an immortal . But no sane person should claim that he is an immortal . '

'But the battle at Anping was the best proof…'

'Dammit! Stay cool! Stay sharp! Stop your useless thinking!'

He got up and kicked the ground, running away from this forest .

'I'll place my bets on this then . '

'If you are righteous as they said…'

…

Nanpi City, Official Residential Areas .

Te Langpu glanced at the system menu and chuckled .

"Stupid baits . I won't fall for it . Go ahead and fight each other to your heart contents . "

"I'll enjoy my life here . "</because></this></because>
