My Three Kingdoms is not right

Yes, Liu Xun has now gained another skill – archery.

With each arrow shot, the experience bar will fluctuate slightly.

[Player: Liu Xun]

[Strength: 85. A skilled streetball player who doesn't even make the rankings.]

[Charm: 88 Natural beauty plus a princess aura makes you unparalleled in charm.]

[Strategy: 60. Extraordinary education will give you, with your ordinary talents, extraordinary insights.]

[Bond Attributes:]

[A seemingly trivial but ultimately meaningless situation: It offers no real benefit, yet is somewhat unappetizing; its effectiveness allows for clear judgment of whether to advance or retreat. It allows one to see through people's hearts and discern the true intentions of their opponents. (Requires the item "Five-Zhu Coin," with a one-month cooldown.)]

[Skills Overview]

[Melee: Level 7]

[Riding Skill: Level 5]

Archery Skill: Level 2

[Cooking Skills: Level 7]

He has been studying the system for some time and has gradually figured out some patterns.

Each time a skill is upgraded, 2 attribute points will be added.

The levels are mainly divided into three stages: Levels one to three are the initial stage, which requires little experience and is relatively easy to level up.

Levels four through six are the intermediate stage, where the experience required to level up increases significantly.

Level 7 and above are advanced stages, and even with a lot of experience invested, leveling up is extremely difficult and time-consuming.

It makes sense that anything is easy to learn but difficult to master.

After Liu Xun leveled up his Blade Mastery to level 7 by chopping vegetables, he realized that the experience required to advance further exceeded the total experience required to advance to level 7, so he decisively gave up on continuing to grind in the kitchen.

In comparison, archery, a new skill he's just starting out with, is much more worthwhile. He's only at level two in archery now, and he can break through to level three with a little more experience.

Since it will add two more points of combat power anyway, why not do something with such low cost and high return?

He fired another arrow, but it missed the target again.

Sun Shangxiang, growing anxious, skipped over and said, "Your posture is wrong! Your waist needs to be lowered, and your shoulders need to be more relaxed..."

She stood behind Liu Xun, placing her hand directly on his side. "Here, harder!"

Then she tried to pry his hand open: "Your wrist is too stiff. Don't consciously loosen your fingers when releasing the arrow. Let the string slide out on its own."

She was lively and energetic, her mind filled with thoughts of swords and arrows. On the contrary, when this little girl's warm hand grasped his wrist, Liu Xun subconsciously moved half an inch to the side.

"Don't move!" The little girl slapped his hand in annoyance. "Keep both hands level. Why is your left hand sticking up again? Keep it level!"

Liu Xun had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

Just then, the steward of the Sikong Mansion came in from the outer room with a servant, stopped by the archery range and bowed: "Your Highness, are you well? The Sikong has sent me to invite Your Highness to a banquet."

Liu Xun loosened his grip, watching the arrow fly away again, and shook his head helplessly: "I understand, I'll go after I shoot these few."

He was already used to Cao Cao's impromptu invitations.

Since returning from Wancheng, Cao Cao has become increasingly close to him, frequently inviting him to Wannian Villa for meals or banquets.

Liu Xun was quite pleased with this.

Who could resist the enthusiastic invitation of a stunningly beautiful young woman?

Moreover, getting closer to her was an important part of his efforts to restore the Han Dynasty.

"Going again?" Sun Shangxiang protested, tugging at his sleeve and shaking it. "Brother promised to make braised pork tonight!"

"Alright." Liu Xun turned his face away helplessly, about to politely refuse, when he saw the steward bow again and say, "The Minister of Works specifically instructed that at today's banquet, he should introduce Liu Bei, the Governor of Yu Province, to His Highness."

Liu Bei?!

Liu Xun immediately perked up.

He traveled to this world and met Cao Cao and Sun Quan, but he had never met Liu Bei, the most legendary male protagonist of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

What else is there to say? We absolutely have to go!

"Report back to the Minister of Works for me," Liu Xun handed the bow and arrows to Sun Yi beside him, "tell him I will be there immediately."

"promise."

The retainer bowed and withdrew.

Sun Shangxiang pouted, "Where's the braised pork?"

Liu Xun patted her head. "Make double the amount tomorrow, all you can eat."

-----------------

The banquet at the Sikong Mansion was held in the waterside pavilion in the back garden.

In early summer, the lotus leaves in the pond begin to curl, and dragonflies skim across the water.

As soon as Liu Xun stepped through the door, he heard Cao Cao's hearty laughter.

"Your Highness has finally arrived." Cao Cao rose to greet her. Her skin, white as snow, was accentuated by her crimson brocade robe, and her phoenix eyes were smiling. "Please take a seat."

The desks were arranged in a circular pattern, with Cao Cao in the center, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other scholars on his left, and Xiahou sisters, Cao Ren, Yu Jin and other military generals on his right.

Everyone stood up to greet him, and Liu Xun smiled and exchanged pleasantries with them, but his gaze couldn't help but drift to the beautiful woman beside Cao Cao.

Gentle and quiet.

Her skin was smooth and supple, her waist slender and graceful, and beneath her long, arched eyebrows were a pair of calm eyes.

She met Liu Xun's gaze and smiled humbly: "Liu Bei greets Your Highness the Princess."

Liu Xun's heart started racing instantly.

This is Liu Bei.

He was the embodiment of benevolence and righteousness, a legendary figure who rose from a humble mat weaver and sandal seller to become the founding emperor of the Shu Han dynasty.

Although she is a woman in this world, her indescribable demeanor still makes her instantly recognizable.

"Your Highness, this is...

Before Cao Cao could finish his introduction, Liu Xun excitedly blurted out.

"Liu Bei!"

He rushed to Liu Bei, taking three steps at a time, and looked the woman before him up and down, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement:

"Please, no need for formalities! I've long heard of Xuande's name, and seeing him today, I can confirm his extraordinary bearing and bearing!"

Liu Bei was slightly taken aback.

She had heard of this Princess Wannian's reputation—the emperor's younger brother, a rising star in the court, and a guest of Cao Cao. She was said to be beautiful, decisive, and a woman of great talent.

He was unexpectedly handsome and so passionate towards her.

"Your Highness flatters me." A hint of emotion flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, but his attitude became even more respectful. "I am but a defeated general and do not deserve Your Highness's high regard."

At this moment, Liu Bei was in a very sorry and dejected state.

After Lü Bu seized Xuzhou, she spent the next two years in Xiaopei, developing her resources with Cao Cao's support. Just when she had managed to accumulate some wealth again, Lü Bu sent his generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to wipe her out in one fell swoop.

Under the powerful offensive of Gao Shun's "Trap Camp," Liu Bei was utterly powerless to resist. The city fell, his entire army was wiped out, and he fled to Xuchang like a stray dog.

To her, Liu Xun was not only of extremely noble status, but also held a superior position and renowned reputation in the Xudu court, making him an absolutely unattainable figure.

Today was our first meeting, and seeing his handsome and dashing appearance, I was immediately captivated, yet at the same time, I felt secretly inferior.

But she didn't know how many layers of "filters" Liu Xun used to see her through.

"I deserve it! Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are destined for them, and will first test their resolve and strengthen their bodies." Liu Xun looked at her with unwavering determination.

"Xuande spread benevolence and righteousness throughout the world, and her integrity was renowned across the four seas. She was a true heroine of our time! How could she lack unwavering resilience?"

Liu Bei pursed his lips.

She could see sincerity in Liu Xun's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this young man from a noble family admired him so much, and even offered such words of encouragement when he was feeling down.

"Ahem." Cao Cao cleared his throat beside him.

She hosted the banquet to win over Liu Bei, a talented individual, and also to introduce him to Liu Xun, thinking that the two would get along very well.

But the scene before my eyes...

It was fun, but why did it go a little too far?

"Your Highness and Xuande seem to get along well." Cao Cao calmly stepped between Liu Xun and Liu Bei. "Come, come! Let's take our seats and continue our conversation."
