Episode 165
Wireless system (5)
“Okay, this is a bit inconvenient, but please.”
“Oh, I will drink it well.”
The fragrant scent of tea lingered in the house.
Jeong Do politely accepted the teacup handed to him by Zhuge Liang and took a sip. It had a taste that immediately revealed that it was made from precious tea leaves, but it didn’t really matter at this point.
Jeong Do continued to steal glances at Zhuge Liang.
‘It’s really Zhuge Gongmyeong.’
I was advised to be suspicious of everything in the wireless world, so I checked it several times.
Although he used <observation> three times, his name was correct, and Ixia also said that the man in front of him was not lying.
In other words, it means that he is really Zhuge Liang himself from the Three Kingdoms period in China.
Jeongdo swallowed the tea once again, feeling his heart pounding.
Although it has become almost routine to communicate with certain great people due to the nature of one’s skills, seeing that great person in person still brought another emotion.
Who is Zhuge Gongmyeong?
It was hard to say that everyone on Earth knew about him, but at least no one from Asia could not have known about him.
Even in the Three Kingdoms era, where there were countless heroes, he was a person whose fame and talent could be counted on one hand.
He is the vizier of Shu and the second most powerful person after Liu Bei.
A prime minister who was a strategist of extravagant spending and laid the foundation for the country.
After his death in Wujangwon, he was elevated to the throne of Empress Dowager and is still referred to as a man of resourcefulness to this day.
Zhuge Liang, the dragon.
I couldn’t quite calm my pounding heart.
How should I call you?
Winner?
Muhu?
Or should I call him by his name or call him teacher?
“It’s enough if you call me Gongmyeong.”
Perhaps sensing some confusion, Zhuge Liang took the initiative and spoke. He had a smile on his face as if he was happy to meet Jeong-do.
“Okay, then. Gongmyeong. May I ask how you get into the wireless world? As far as I know, it’s definitely in Ojangwon… ”
fell ill and died.
As for Jeong-do, I couldn’t bear to say that in front of the person involved, so I kept my backstory to a minimum. However, Zhuge Liang didn’t seem to care at all and instead asked Jeong Do.
“That’s right. I am dead. But it’s also alive. Can you tell me how much time has passed since I was announced dead? “The concept of time is blurry here and I have no idea.”
“Approximately 2000 years have passed.”
“Huh. A lot more time has passed than I thought. I had a vague guess that Shu was destroyed, but now I can’t even find a trace of it.”
“… … .”
The Shu dynasty fell 46 years after it was established.
So, it collapsed less than 20 years after Zhuge Liang died. And he was inseparable from the person who ruined the country.
I was thinking about loading the wire at this point, but I put it off for now. It is not too late to solve the problem even after solving the question.
“Seeing as how you don’t know about news from Earth, it seems that there are almost no people from Earth in the radio world.”
“Oh, that’s not it. It’s rare compared to other universes, but it definitely exists. However, there is little interaction between them. “For some reason, all people from Earth are weirdos.”
Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his fan. For the first time since meeting Zhuge Liang, an expression of embarrassment appeared on his face for a moment and then disappeared. Zhuge Liang seemed to find it difficult to talk about him, so he naturally changed the topic.
“I told you earlier that I was dead. That’s not wrong. At that time, I was clearly suffering from a disease that could not be cured by royal medicine. “It is true that my life ended there.”
So what does Zhuge Liang in front of you mean right now? Does this mean that he is a ghost-like being whose only spirit remains after death? Feeling some doubt, Zhuge Liang continued his explanation.
“It was clear that my destiny ended there, but I couldn’t admit it. Because I had so many things to be responsible for. I had to take care of His Majesty, the country, and the people. I decided to defy nature. Since he was quite skilled in Zen and Taoist arts, he used forbidden techniques to extend his lifespan… As a result, I ended up in the wireless world. “It became like a fable.”
“… Fable light ship?”
What on earth does this mean?
Are you saying that because you used it to extend your lifespan, you became a fable? It was a more absurd sound than the rumor that the Imoogi had suddenly turned into a dragon and ascended to heaven.
“I overcame the disease and lived a long life as I had intended, but… What use is it all? He could no longer return to the secular world. Now that Shu has been destroyed, I am just cultivating my way to become a immortal.”
“… “It’s an absurd story.”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t have a story? Especially here in the wireless world, my story is quite trivial. Now, why don’t you tell us your story? “I’m very curious about how the Earth has changed.”
“Um, so… ”
Jeongdo told the story of what happened after Zhuge Liang unintentionally became a fable. Zhuge Liang was particularly interested in how the social system changed, but unfortunately, he was not a sociologist. He could only speak based on what he knew.
After the feudal system and monarchy system of the Three Kingdoms period collapsed over a long period of time, a republican system was established and a new system emerged.
And as time passed, when I explained that modern society has become a society that is constantly preventing invasions from other worlds, Zhuge Liang nodded.
“haha. When I was in the secular world, it was a time of war. Now the scale has expanded to the scale of the universe. And the person in front of me is a hero struggling to stop the shouting.”
“No, not even a hero. “I just don’t like the people who invade.”
“The birth of all great heroes also started from such a small heart. “To me, he looks more like a hero than any other hero.”
“… … .”
Since Zhuge Liang is praising me so highly, I don’t know what to do. Jeong-do’s face turned red and as he turned on the car, Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and asked,
“Then, the reason you came to the wireless world is to obtain stronger military power. “Like most people here.”
“what… Yes. However, the scenery was completely different from what I had imagined, so I came to see Gongmyeong. “I imagined a scene where enlightened hermits were struggling to practice under a waterfall in order to reach a higher state.”
However, in reality, there was nothing like that, and it was a paradise of stagnant water with eyes wide open, wondering if there were any useful newbies out there. Zhuge Liang seemed to fully understand this feeling and laughed.
“haha. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a regular wireless world. Normally, like-minded people get together and discuss each other’s incompetence, or evil people commit evil deeds under the excuse that they need to experience something new. Of course, the opposite also happens frequently. However, it is very rare for villages to be created like they are now.”
“Then why now?”
“The timing of your visit to the radio world is very coincidental. Currently, the wireless world is in full swing preparing for the wireless system.”
“Wireless?”
Even though I thought I was just asking questions after coming here, I had no choice but to ask again. Since he didn’t know anything, he just looked at Zhuge Liang like a baby looking at its mother.
“Wireless Festival refers to a festival held in the wireless world. Contrary to the word festival, in reality it is not all that fun… In any case, it is clear that this is one of the largest events in the wireless world.”

“What is this festival about?”
“What kind of work is there in the wireless world? “Of course it’s just fighting.”
“… So, is it like a martial arts competition?”
“It’s a little different, but it’s similar.”
what. After all, are we doing something similar to what we did on Sky Island?
In order to surpass the level, great feats are achieved among many powerful people and rewards are given for those feats. I think it goes roughly like this…
“Except for the absolute rule of selecting the winner through fighting, the detailed rules change in each wireless system. And the rules of this wireless system are many-to-many battles. What is unique is that the participants must include newcomers who have been in the wireless world for less than 100 years.”
“ah. so!”
Now the question has been resolved.
Why did the stagnant water show such interest in me as soon as I entered the wireless world?
They tried to secure strong newbies to slightly increase their chances of winning the wireless system.
“Who sets the rules?”
“Of course, you are Wireless, the representative of the wireless world.”
It’s wireless.
In fact, no matter how lawless the wireless world felt, it could be considered a kind of society as long as humans gathered together. In that case, a representative was necessary to set the minimum rules.
“Nothing is exactly known about wireless compensation. However, one thing is certain: everyone who received compensation has crossed over into the upper world.”
The wireless world could be broadly divided into three territories.
Lower, mainland, upper region.
Hagye was a place to prove the minimum qualifications to come to the mainland. The underworld that Jis had explained to me was full of various traps and monsters. Except for those who had the same invitation, they could only come to the mainland by passing through the river.
And from this mainland, it could be said to be a true wireless world. It is a place where people who have reached the peak in various fields gather to reach greater heights. 90% of the people in the wireless world are on the mainland.
And only a very small number of those people can break through the wall and reach the level of ascension. The upper world was a space allowed only to such people.
“How is it? Are you interested?”
“Of course.”
In response to Zhuge Liang’s question, Jeong Do nodded calmly. Can we just ignore this event? Even if I didn’t win, it was clear that it would be a great experience. Thinking about it now, there was a high possibility that Musinma gave himself an invitation with this Musinje in mind.
“Is Gongmyeong going out too?”
“no. “I’m originally a student, so I’m not good at fighting.”
I don’t think so.
As I confirmed through observation earlier, Zhuge Liang’s level was by no means black level. In short, it means that he already has enough skills to go to the commercial world.
However, since the person concerned refuses it like that, it is more difficult to recommend it. At a time when Jeong Do was wondering whether he should look for a new team member, Zhuge Liang asked.
“May I ask you one thing this time?”
“Ah yes. “If I know something, I will answer it.”
“I’ve felt it since the first time we met… Guests will feel a very familiar energy. It’s a very nostalgic feeling. Do you have any guesses about this?”
Familiar energy?
Jeong Do was momentarily taken aback by Zhuge Liang’s unexpected question, but soon fell into deep thought.
Is it perhaps because of Laine’s blessing that you received before coming here? The blessing was clearly a blessing of likeability, so did he feel familiar with him because of that?
But I soon realized that wasn’t the case.
It was only natural that Zhuge Liang would consider him familiar.
‘It’s because of the load.’
Numerous characters that you have loaded so far. Among them, there were many people who belonged to the Shu clan.
I loaded up all of the Five Tiger Generals, and even invited the emperor, Yu Seon, when he was bored… It was worth it to have that energy buried in his body.
“Perhaps it’s because I have called upon people from the Shu Dynasty a few times. “I have the ability to possess.”
Jeong Do responded truthfully to Zhuge Liang, who generously provided information. Zhuge Liang suddenly fell to the ground as if struck by lightning.
“So, sir. No, Mr. Jeongdo. “Is that really true?”
“yes. “I can still sing if I want to.”
“Well, then, could you please do me a favor? “If you will listen, I will help you as much as I can.”
Jeong Do sensed Zhuge Liang’s intentions.
If you infer the conversation with Zhuge Liang, it was obvious. Because he still could not forget his loyalty to his country and his master.
‘I was planning on letting you meet without asking in the first place.’
Great.
Thinking that way, I loaded the album from the wire.
<Huh? Confucius. Very often today… >
Yoo Seon’s words, which were full of joy, were suddenly cut off. Yuseon was now clearly aware of Zhuge Liang in front of him.
“ah… ah… ”
As the temperament he had felt so far disappeared and he felt a familiar energy, tears flowed from Zhuge Liang’s eyes. Zhuge Liang couldn’t even speak properly and walked towards the capital.
<……>
“… … .”
Neither of them said anything.
After a moment of silence, Zhuge Liang hugged the body.
“your majesty. god. Zhuge Liang. “Forgive my disloyalty.”
<Muhu. Please forgive this ugly monarch.>
Jeong-do just watched the two people talk without saying a word.
… Before I knew it, tears were flowing from my own eyes.
* * * * * *
“hmm. Mr. Jeongdo. And your majesty. “If you want to participate in the wireless system, there is a good way.”
<As expected. It’s Mufu. There is no one who can follow him in terms of resourcefulness.>
The two people who shared the story calmed their emotions. And then we went back to talking about the wireless system.
“As I said, I am quite knowledgeable in Taoism and Senjutsu. “Puppetry is an area I am particularly confident in.”
“Ah, I think I’ve heard that before.”
Was it in ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’?
I felt like I had heard a story about clay and wooden dolls appearing and defeating enemy soldiers in the Eight Jindo method developed by Zhuge Liang.
But why the story now?
“I will implant Your Majesty’s soul into a doll.”
“… Eck?”
<Huh. Wuhu’s sage arts have reached the sky.>
“Please wait a moment.”
While Jeong-do was at a loss, Zhuge Liang got up from his seat and entered the room. And from there, he brought out a wooden doll that was about the same size as Jeongdo.
Jeongdo became a little anxious and asked Zhuge Liang.
“There’s nothing bad about this for me or Yuseon, right? For example, you can no longer load Yuseon.”
“I tell you on my name and honor that that will not happen. Ultimately, the trick I use is nothing more than a twist on your ability to possess. “The moment you end possession, the doll will return to being a doll again.”
This meant that the moment you unloaded, everything would return to its original state.
Dara plants the loaded character into the doll. Wait, doesn’t that mean you have to load a black-class character who is much stronger than Wired?
I had that thought, but I quickly shook my head. If you load a powerful character, mana consumption increases accordingly.
No matter how much your mana increases, you cannot maintain a black-level character for a long time.
A being infinitely more powerful than the mana consumed. She was right to load such a being.
‘It’s perfect.’
It’s wired.
There is nothing but a landline!
Yoo Seon is a character who consumes very little mana, but has a monster-like status window due to various bonuses. If you’re wired, your mana recovery will be faster even if you’re loading all day. It could be maintained indefinitely.
“Please.”
“I will proceed.”
Zhuge Liang raised his hand to his forehead, as if waiting for permission. And immediately afterwards, Jeongdo felt that something was leaving his body.
Faaah!
As Zhuge Liang’s hand moved towards the doll, bright light poured into the wooden doll. And the doll’s appearance slowly changed.
And when the light disappeared, there were people instead of dolls.
There was a handsome young man there, with a sturdy body. The young man looked at his body in disbelief and then spoke slightly slurredly.
“Oh, Confucius? Muhu? “Is this a burden?”
The last emperor of Shu Han.
Wire construction.
It was the moment when he gained a physical body again after 2000 years.
