Chapter 7 The Stunned Liao Emperor
Reading Settings
Liu Fu was a man who took things as they came.
Although the abandoned tent is old, it is still habitable.
But if the Liao emperor wanted to intimidate him, would he allow him to live comfortably?
Sure enough, there was only a tattered carpet and half a sheepskin blanket inside.
On such a cold grassland, a layer of ice crystals would form at dusk. This sheepskin quilt covered the upper body, but not the lower body.
The Liao emperor wanted to torment Liu Fu so that he would obey him.
Even Consort Wu frowned at this moment. Seeing the furnishings in the tent, she was so angry that she wanted to confront the patrolling general.
No matter how loudly they shouted, not a single person came over.
Consort Wu was almost breathless from shouting when Liu Fu interrupted her:
"Don't waste your energy. They were planning to torture me half to death here, and they're probably nowhere to be found by now."
As soon as Consort Wu turned around, she was stunned.
The once empty tent now contains several new items.
A beautiful bright red blanket, and a bright red wedding quilt for the bridal chamber.
In addition, Liu Fu was also holding two pillows in his hand.
Next to it was a copper pot I had never seen before, and next to the copper pot were many white porcelain plates.
The porcelain plate contained sliced beef, potato noodles, green vegetables, sliced meat, lamb kidneys, mung bean sprouts, dried tofu skin, deer penis, tiger penis...
Then look at that strange copper pot, emitting an enticing aroma, simmering a pot of red liquid, with billowing steam rising from it...
Consort Wu watched in amazement.
But for Liu Fu, there was nothing strange about it; it was just a hot pot.
You should know that there are no chili peppers or black peppers in this world.
Consort Wu was immediately attracted by the aroma and sat down with Liu Fu to eat hot pot.
The moment the taste entered my mouth, my body warmed up instantly, and the cold, hunger, and chill I felt earlier vanished in the blink of an eye.
Consort Wu was greatly surprised and asked:
"How did you conjure up such delicious food out of thin air?"
Liu Fu made up a reason, and the two of them ate and drank their fill, then fought for most of the night.
In reality, Liu Fu redeemed these items using points from Cao Cao's artifact.
Although the items in the points mall are all expensive, the items in Cao Cao's Artifacts are all exceptionally cheap, making it a welfare mini-mall for Liu Fu.
Clothing, food, housing, and transportation—it has everything you need.
With the Tiger King dropping materials every day, Liu Fu has accumulated more than 300 points over the past twenty-odd days.
You can redeem a copper pot for 30 points, a bag of hot pot base for 5 points, and each of those dishes can be redeemed for 1 point.
Add a blanket and a quilt, and you'll have everything you need.
Currently, Liu Fu's biggest need is points, which is only second to him.
Reputation points are what he cares about most!
Reputation points can be used to breed beasts and purchase breeding slots. The higher the rank of the beast, the higher the quality of the materials it drops, which can be exchanged for more points.
However, Liu Fu had already tried on his way to Liao. The Liao soldiers knew his identity, but he just couldn't gain any reputation points.
Simply increasing fame doesn't seem to increase reputation.
In the middle of the night, just as Liu Fu was about to fall asleep, holding Consort Wu in his arms, he suddenly received a system notification:
"Congratulations, host! Your proposal to build the Great Wall has been accepted by the Emperor. You are rewarded with 5,000 reputation points!"
The very next morning, before Liu Fu had even gotten out of bed, he received another system notification:
"Congratulations, host! Your proposal to repair the Great Wall has sparked heated discussions in the imperial court and received unanimous praise. You are rewarded with reputation points!"
At this moment, Liu Fu looked at his personal panel again:
[Personal Panel]:
Liu Fu
[Position]: Prince
[Reputation Value]: Points
[Mall Points]: 207 points
Number of breeding troughs: 1 (1)
[Number of beasts in the army]: 0
Next to the personal panel, there is a line of small text that says:
"Your reputation points have reached the required level, and you can now unlock the second breeding slot. Would you like to proceed?"
Liu Fu glanced at it and saw that the Tiger King needed 50,000 reputation points to transition from adulthood to the metamorphosis stage, which was not enough at the moment.
However, 10,000 reputation points are required to unlock a breeding slot.
Now, if you open two breeding slots, you can add two more beasts, resulting in three beasts dropping materials and generating points at the same time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Fu spent 1,000 reputation points to buy two more random treasure chests for ferocious beast cubs.
"Ding! Host has opened the [Random Beast Cub Treasure Chest] and obtained a Silverback Gorilla Cub +1!"
"Ding! Host has opened the [Random Beast Cub Treasure Chest] and obtained a Lion Cub +1!"
Liu Fu originally wanted to buy the [Cub of any beast] chest, but it cost 5,000 reputation points, so he gave up.
Upon discovering that a silverback gorilla and a lion cub had been found, Liu Fu immediately placed them into the two newly opened breeding tanks.
At this time, the silverback gorilla cub is about the size of a child.
Lion cubs are less than two feet long.
"Ding! You have spent 500 reputation points to upgrade your silverback gorilla from cub to adult!"
"Ding! You have spent 500 reputation points to upgrade the lion from cub to adult!"
A mature silverback gorilla stands about 1 meter tall and is about 1.3 meters long.
The lion cubs, on the other hand, are 1.4 meters long and about 1 meter tall.
"Ding! You have spent 3000 reputation points to upgrade the silverback gorilla from maturity to adulthood!"
"Ding! You have spent 3000 reputation points to upgrade the lion from maturity to adulthood!"
Looking at it now, the silverback gorilla stands upright, reaching a height of 3 meters, and is quite robust.
The lion was 5 meters long, several heads taller than Liu Fu.
With materials dropped by three ferocious beasts, Liu Fu's points skyrocketed, and he was no longer worried about food and drink.
The Liao soldiers left Liu Fu there, bringing him a cold meal every other day, waiting for him to beg before giving him anything good to eat.
Unexpectedly, Liu Fu himself was eating hot pot in the main tent, the aroma of which made the Liao soldiers even more envious.
It was clear that this method was not working.
The Liao emperor instructed the border patrol general to capture several wolves and leave them near Liu Fu's camp.
At night, the howling of wolves filled the air, hoping to scare Liu Fu so much that he would wet himself and beg for mercy.
But I never expected it.
Liu Fu released the auras of the Tiger King and the Lion King at night.
The wolves, however, were terrified by the aura and trembled, crawling on the ground and howling mournfully.
As a result, all of the Liao emperor's methods of forcing Liu Fu to submit became ineffective.
Instead, the domineering Liao emperor began to get angry in secret.
"You bunch of useless trash, can't you even do this little thing right?"
The Liao emperor was unwilling to admit defeat and insisted on crushing Liu Fu's confidence before making him kneel before him in court.
At this moment, Emperor Yelü Zhen of Liao, dressed in plain clothes, said to the generals around him:
"Come with me to the main tent. I want to personally see what this prince of the Later Han Dynasty is capable of."
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at Liu Fu's tent, the Liao Emperor was dumbfounded and enraged, his three spirits leaping wildly!
He spotted Consort Wu next to Liu Fu at a glance.
His eyes widened in horror, and his mind trembled violently.
"What happened?"
"How come my Consort Wu is living with Liu Fu?"
