Chapter 218 Peace, Peace! (Part )

Wang Yao didn't sleep the whole night.

He gently stood up and sat down, slightly turning his head to look at Luna's peaceful and quiet sleeping face beside him. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable love and an unprecedented sense of responsibility rising in his heart.

He knew that from now on, he would live for this girl!

In fact, the grief that had been lingering on him for seven days and nights had not disappeared even at this moment. But perhaps his body and mind had found true sustenance, he was no longer in despair, nor did he feel guilty, but instead fell into an unprecedented state of calm.

The most pathetic people are those who just try to escape when encountering problems.

Moreover, after a night of deep thought, he secretly made up his mind.
Just as he was lost in thought, Wang Yao suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look beside him again.

Luna, who had woken up at some point, was staring at him intently with her beautiful, clear eyes.

"Awake?" Wang Yao couldn't help but baring his teeth at the girl, revealing a big smile that he thought was quite sunny.

As a result, Luna's originally fair face suddenly turned red. Perhaps she was not used to such a morning, she was like a frightened little white rabbit, almost instinctively buried her face in the warm quilt, until a short moment later, she seemed to find that this was not good, and then she cutely peeked out from the edge of the quilt and looked at Wang Yao, with a hint of helplessness and full of shyness in her clear eyes.
"Morning, morning." Her voice was sweet and soft, as memorable as cotton candy.

Seeing Luna's shy and soft appearance, Wang Yao's heart warmed up. He leaned over and touched the girl's smooth forehead lightly, then smiled and said, "It's getting late. Hurry up and get up. I'll cook breakfast for you."

While washing up in the bathroom on the first floor, Wang Yao held a willow branch in his mouth to clean his mouth, looked at his face in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

After these seven days, his left eye, which was cut by Cao Cao's sword, had basically healed, but it also left an indelible scar. Looking in the bronze mirror, Wang Yao's face had lost some of its former beauty. Thanks to the sword scar, it had become more mature, colder and more experienced.

Hey.

It's okay to be disfigured, people always have to grow up. But should he also learn from Wei's Xiahou Dun to wear an eye patch and become the 2.0 version of the unruly style? No, being one-eyed has never been a romantic thing for men! At least that's how it is for Wang Yao.

I wonder if Zhuge Liang can help him think of a solution?

With this plan, Wang Yao quickly prepared breakfast; a simple soy milk and fried dough sticks. Then, Luna, who had finally dressed up, came down from the second floor. But for some reason, this girl looked a little strange, with her eyebrows furrowed and her face slightly pale. Even the way she walked was not as elegant as usual, but rather a little awkward.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"No, it's okay." Looking at Wang Yao's concerned eyes, Luna shook her head gently, seeming a little embarrassed.

Wang Yao didn't notice this detail. He walked a few steps to the girl and stared at her seriously: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me! What's wrong?"

To him, the girl in front of him is the treasure of his life, more important than his life.

Under Wang Yao's persistent gaze, after a long while, Luna, who had no way out, finally blushed and spoke hesitantly in a voice as thin as a mosquito's.

The room suddenly became quiet.

This was probably the most embarrassing moment Wang Yao had ever experienced since he came to this world. Of course, what was more important was a full sense of, ahem, happiness!

Wang Yao gently touched the girl's head, his face slightly red. He put one arm around Luna's slender waist and the other arm around her knees. He held her horizontally in his arms and went to the second floor.

"Wait wait, what are you doing all of a sudden?" Luna exclaimed in embarrassment. Having said that, she had no intention of resisting and leaned in Wang Yao's arms like a docile kitten.

"I'll bring you breakfast in a bit. Just have a good rest at home today." Wang Yao said as he went upstairs.

Hearing this, Luna was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "But, I still have to go to the military advisor today."

Wang Yao paused while climbing the stairs. At this moment, a gleam of light flashed across his dark eyes. "What a coincidence! I have something to do with Zhuge Liang, so I'll ask for leave for you."

Considering that there was still a trace of love on the bed in his bedroom that had not been washed, Wang Yao took Luna back to her own bedroom to rest. After settling the girl down and covering her with a quilt, he got up, but when he reached the door, he stopped again.

"I'm sorry." Wang Yao said suddenly.

Luna, who was covered with the quilt, looked at Wang Yao's back strangely, then smiled softly with a hint of tenderness and said, "It's okay. Besides, I volunteered."

"No, that's not what I meant." Wang Yao felt embarrassed again, but immediately said seriously, "Last night, you and your uncle were arguing downstairs. I actually heard it all."

Luna was stunned and silent for three seconds before she said softly, "Ayao, I hope you don't blame your uncle. He actually has no ill intentions. Your uncle is a hero and has seen the lives of soldiers many times. It is understandable that he cannot understand your pain."

"I don't mean to blame my uncle, I just feel that you have been wronged during this time. In fact, my uncle is right. In this cruel world, the weak may deserve sympathy, but those who give up on themselves are the least worthy of sympathy! Don't worry." Putting his hand on the door handle, Wang Yao turned around and smiled at the girl.

"I will work hard to be a man worthy of you!"

The weather was unexpectedly good.

The sun was shining and the sky was cloudless, as if the downpour last night was a dream that never happened.

On the way to find Zhuge Liang outside Jingzhou, Wang Yao did not choose to walk through the busy streets, but chose a quiet path.

In the quiet streets, he listened carefully to the wind and pondered carefully. He carefully counted the gains and losses of these seven days.
All his friends and subordinates died in the battle. He lost everything he could lose, including the equipment he depended on for survival. The two high-level equipment he used as means of attack, the Armor-Piercing Bow and the Infinity Blade, were thrown on the Wei State Highlands, and no one knew who picked them up. The resurrection armor, which was his trump card, also became a defective product because it had used up the number of resurrections.

Now, he only had a pair of Shadow Ninja feet and a violent T-shirt on his body. This war between Shu and Wei directly consumed more than half a year of his hard work. It would be a lie to say that it was not heartbreaking. But if Wang Yao was asked to "return to his old job" and spend another half a year collecting equipment, it was obviously unrealistic. What's more, the soldiers were actually innocent, and were even just pathetic victims deceived by some heroes. Many of them should not have lost their lives at such a young age.

So, how can you collect enough equipment in a short time without wasting time or killing too many soldiers?

In fact, Wang Yao himself had a blind spot in his thinking. That was, when the legion salary and the people around him were unable to help, he stubbornly believed that if he wanted to obtain those high-priced equipment, he could only rely on fighting in the canyon to get enough money to buy them, and then ignored that in fact, in this alien world without the constraints of game rules, there are actually many shortcuts to make money, no, it should be said that, to get gold coins!

For example, last night, Wang Yao thought of a solution that might work.
Wang Yao silently took out his cell phone, stopped, then leaned against the wall on the street alone and dialed "0003", the long-lost special number.

This time, the call was not connected as quickly as before. Instead, it took a long time before a woman's usual sweet and noisy voice came from the other end of the receiver.

"Hey, little soldier brother, it's been more than a month, why did you suddenly remember to call me? Wait, let me guess, have you been taken to the war by the heroes of your camp this month? Haha, that must be the case, right? But don't be so conceited, I'm not worried about you at all! It would be too ridiculous if you were killed by enemy soldiers even though you have all the equipment."

She's a really smart woman, but she talks too much nonsense.
"I'm not calling to chat this time." Ignoring the woman's noise, Wang Yao waited for her to finish speaking, then said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you, do you really want to get this phone in my hand?"

As soon as the voice fell, the woman on the other end of the phone instantly shouted excitedly in a very high-decibel voice: "Yes! I dream about it! So, are you willing to return the phone to us? Great! I didn't expect that you, brother Xiaobing, are such a conscious and conscientious person. Well, a prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold. As long as you turn over a new leaf and become a new person, I will still..."

Wang Yao interrupted, "No, I think you misunderstood me. First of all, I want to make it clear that this phone originally belonged to me, so please don't use the word return. Secondly, I can give you the things, but not for free."

After a pause, Wang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's make a deal."

"Trade?!" It was originally a serious topic, but the reaction on the other end of the phone was much greater than expected.

While Wang Yao was waiting in confusion, he heard the woman suddenly make a 180-degree turn and said in a righteous tone: "Brother Xiaobing, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Is it really okay to ask such a person of the opposite sex you have never met? What if he is a loli-voiced uncle? Humph, besides, although I really want your phone, it doesn't mean I am willing to exchange it with you. People have very high requirements for their partners, right? First of all, you have to be handsome, secondly, you have to be very handsome, and finally, uh, anyway, it's impossible to be with you! Although I haven't seen you yet, you Xiaobing basically look like a fool, so I can generally guess it. Otherwise, let's try a purer way of trading?"

After hearing what the woman said, Wang Yao almost spat blood on the wall: "Shut up! Who cares about yours?! I'm talking about money, gold coins. I want you to use a lot of gold coins to exchange for my phone!"

No, he has to end this call quickly. If he continues talking to this woman, he might get bronchitis!
What on earth is in this woman's head? !

After listening to Wang Yao's hysterical roar, the other end of the phone fell into a particularly awkward silence. After a long while, the woman's voice sounded again: "Huh? So it's not that deal? Haha, I said, my voice is so nice, who wouldn't have some thoughts after hearing it? No, no! What I mean is that I am actually a very pure little girl."

Do you think what you said sound like something a pure little girl would say?

"Okay, stop explaining. Are you going to do it or not?" Wang Yao said with a look of disdain.

"Yes!" This time the woman agreed directly and generously: "Although our origin place is only a pile of ruins, there are still a few gold coins. How much do you want? And you have to tell me where you are so that I can find someone to send it to you?"

Feeling that there seemed to be some drama in the conversation, Wang Yao's explosive mood finally improved a little: "Three-thirds of the land."

Sure enough, although it is still unknown which hero the woman on the other end of the phone is, as a powerful force, they must have plenty of gold coins, so Wang Yao made this call specifically to test the waters, and it was obvious that he had found the right person.

As a result, after hearing the location, the woman was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of undisguised laughter.

"Ha~, after all this time, it turns out you are in the direction of the western canyon." I don't know if it's an illusion, but the woman's tone sounds like a city dweller mocking the backwardness of the countryside: "Then there's no need to go through so much trouble. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that there are some gold coins hidden somewhere in your place. I just don't know if you have the ability to get them."

"Oh? How many?"

"I can't remember exactly how much it was, it was a long time ago, but it's definitely enough for you to squander for a while."

After hanging up the phone, when Wang Yao looked up again, he had just arrived at his destination.

In front of you is the base camp of the Shu Kingdom Army, where Zhuge Liang handles official business!
Putting away his phone, Wang Yao's face slowly turned cold. He stepped towards the central army tent step by step, his shadow ninja feet stomping on the ground, making a clacking sound, which soon attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers.

But perhaps it was Wang Yao's cold aura and the scar on his left eye that gave people a very strong sense of oppression. Or perhaps it was because they had heard the legendary story that Wang Yao had killed the guards who blocked his way on the high ground seven days ago, and even challenged the enemy heroes on the Wei high ground without dying, so none of the guards dared to step forward to stop him.

In this way, Wang Yao went straight to the central military tent where Zhuge Liang was without any obstruction. Without any notification, he directly and rudely lifted the curtain and walked in.

Inside the huge military tent, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the commander's room reviewing various official documents. The table was piled with bamboo slips like a mountain.

Wang Yao didn't say anything.

Only after a moment did Zhuge Liang slowly raise his head. The moment their eyes met, the latter was slightly stunned.

Zhuge Liang knew that the person coming was Wang Yao, but for some reason, when he looked at Wang Yao at this moment, he suddenly felt that this soldier who was full of hostility and confusion seven days ago, now had an unprecedented peaceful state of mind!
What calmed him down?
With such confusion, Zhuge Liang slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand and asked, "What do you want, little soldier?"

Wang Yao stared firmly into Zhuge Liang's deep eyes and said two words with a sharp gaze.

Just two words.

"Peace!"

　[I am very busy and very tired. Thank you for not abandoning me.]
