Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

Withdrawal!

Chen Shao held his breath and looked at the entry's explanation.

[Yongle Encyclopedia: Whether you believe it or not, the system believes it: the Yongle Encyclopedia created everything!]

The Yongle Encyclopedia is a culmination of ancient Chinese science and technology.

The Western Industrial Revolution and Renaissance were both stolen from the Yongle Encyclopedia.

Here, you will learn that Newton was not hit by an apple, but rather learned classical mechanics from the Yongle Encyclopedia.

The Oxford Dictionary was originally the Yongle Encyclopedia. You can even guess where the English language came from.

Note: You can draw one information note from it each day. The knowledge gained, whether retained or lost, can be re-organized in your mind.

(P.S.: To avoid disputes or being accused of being stupid, let me explain that these are all abstract terms. Just treat them as abstract and don't take them too seriously. Otherwise, saying "Guan Yu! Guan Yu!" would be like summoning a god. There's no need to be serious about it. Feel free to use these memes.)

Chen Shao was terrified.

This system finally did something worthwhile.

He transmigrated here, but unfortunately, aside from remembering a few poems to show off, he knew absolutely nothing else, such as:

Cement, glass, papermaking, perfume, gunpowder, penicillin.

He knows absolutely nothing.

They're alright at fighting wars, but there's been absolutely no development in infrastructure.

This Yongle Encyclopedia is a godsend.

Whether it exists or is lost, it can all be re-edited—what does this mean?

This means that he can retrieve all the agricultural, medical, military, and industrial books that were lost in the war.

The east bank of the Yellow River had just been pacified, and the world was still in turmoil, but with the Yongle Encyclopedia in their minds, the culture and skills of the Great Yan Dynasty had an inexhaustible source.

This gold is worth more than a thousand armies.

Chen Shao's expression suddenly became strange. What he wanted to know most right now was... In his previous life, some bored bloggers spread rumors that James was a descendant of the Yongle Emperor... Was it true?

And why can't Westerners cook? Is it really because the Yongle Encyclopedia wasn't available?

We wonder if we can find any clues among these unsolved mysteries.

"Let's try it out..." Chen Shao rubbed his hands together and immediately used up his daily chance.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the information journal and acquired: Zheng He's nautical chart!]

Chen Shao immediately received a memory in his mind, which meticulously recorded shipbuilding techniques, including detailed records of the three-thousand-ton treasure ship and Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean.

He can write it down whenever he wants.

"Thankfully, it wasn't that abstract; I didn't draw Ultraman or Doraemon."

Chen Shao vaguely remembered Zheng He's nautical charts; it seemed that they were burned by a man named Liu Daxia because they were a waste of resources and manpower.

This world map is exactly the same as the one from my previous life.

"With this nautical chart, we can broaden our horizons and spread the Chinese language all over the world..."

The moment the fifth image lit up, a gust of wind and snow swept over us.

Snow blanketed the palaces and squares of the Forbidden City. Zhang Juzheng, dressed in a crimson official robe, walked alone into the distance.

"Who says the heavens are unwelcoming? A snowstorm sends one person off."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a general card and obtained the entry: A Snowstorm Delivers a Person!]

[Amidst the swirling snow, you journey alone: ​​Even in the midst of the storm, you tread as if on flat ground.]

"I knew it."

Chen Shao was helpless. The system would definitely not give him any of the impressive-sounding terms like "Reformer," "Grand Secretary of the Wanli Era," "Savior Prime Minister," "Lone Minister of All Time," "Single Whip," and "Seize the Chance of Marriage." Even if it did, he wouldn't know how to abstract them.

The sixth picture.

On his sickbed.

The gaunt-faced young scholar was leaning against his pillow.

His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were frighteningly clear.

Standing by the bed...

Eh? An old acquaintance, right next to me is Cao Cao!

The scholar smiled slightly, took out a thin scroll of brocade from under his pillow, and said softly:

"If we attack Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang now, Gongsun Kang of Liaodong will surely join forces with the two Yuan brothers to fight to the death. If we remain inactive, Gongsun Kang and the two Yuan brothers will become suspicious of each other and will surely kill each other."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a general card and obtained the entry: Guo Jia's Legacy.]

[Guo Jia's Last Plan: If your strategist or important minister dies, or if you personally kill an enemy general, a plan will be randomly generated.]

Note: This could also be a bad idea, based on the deceased's exceptionally high intelligence.

"Is this... is it trying to squeeze every last bit of value out of people?"

As for the deaths of people close to them, it seems that only Han Cao and Yuwen Huagu have passed away so far...

Forget it, let's put aside this blood-soaked bun for now.

The seventh picture is quite interesting.

It was Cao Cao again.

He was leering at the beautiful woman beside him.

"I wonder if my lady would be willing to share a bed with me tonight?"

The beautiful woman, feeling utterly hopeless, whispered:

"It is my greatest fortune to be able to serve the General."

Then the scene shifts, accompanied by background music: "The snowflakes fell that year, and plum blossoms bloomed on the branches..."

Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, and Dian Wei all died in succession.

The sound of "Triple Kill" vibrates the screen.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: One Shot, Three Sages.]

[One shot, three victors: Don't mess around in other people's homes, or three random people around you will suffer.]

"So it's a forbidden area..."

Chen Shao thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to have this hobby, so he was relieved. He would try sending this entry to Aluminum Cloth when he had the chance.

The eighth picture.

Inside the large tent, a burly Hu man sat cross-legged in the main seat.

An old man was kneeling nearby, reciting a history book with great emotion.

The Hu man listened to a passage, took a sip of wine, sometimes clapped his hands and laughed, sometimes slammed his hand on the table and sighed.

"That emperor is a fucking bastard! I may be illiterate, but I know that being brainwashed by education is far more terrifying than being uneducated!"

Signed: Shi Hu.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Illiterate God of War.]

[The Illiterate God of War: The fewer words one knows, the more powerful one is in combat.]

Chen Shao chuckled to himself.

Could this entry be translated as "uncultured"? That's terrifying.

The key issue is that I can't actually benefit from this buff myself.

Who should it be given to?

Dian Wei doesn't seem to be literate, does he?

"We need to find an opportunity to ask, and try to make it as effective as possible."

The ninth picture.

In the magnificent villa, tigers, leopards, bears, peacocks, cranes, monkeys, and horses each occupy their own area.

A young emperor squatted there, teasing the leopard with strips of meat.

He was followed by eight eunuchs, each with a large tiger character pasted on their forehead.

Absolutely!

Chen Shaozhen admired the system's imagination; this was Zhu Houzhao and the Eight Tigers!

The system is really thoughtful... as if it's afraid I won't recognize those eight guys.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Leopard House.]

[Leopard Room: You have an extremely high affinity for animals, especially birds of prey and wild beasts.]

Note: Based on the "Heroic Scoundrel" entry, the effect is doubled against snakes.

The tenth picture.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Shao immediately turned off the screen.

This is too much to bear.

They were a gay couple!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: "Homosexuality".]

【Homosexuality: Having this entry will make you develop a strong attraction to the same sex, especially:】
