Daming Military Empire

Chapter 1 Prologue
One day, the gaming giant Miracle announced that the closed beta of the epic masterpiece "Military Industry World", which invested billions of dollars in research and development by the company, has ended, and the public beta will start at [-]:[-] pm this Friday. "Military Industry World" pioneered the game mode combining virtual helmet and mouse. It has a complete military industry system. Players can experience the thrill of making weapons by themselves. There are maps of all countries and ages for players to choose from.
At five o'clock on Friday afternoon, in the No. [-] office building of a large military factory, Zhu Jiong ran out from the gate of the office building as soon as the off-duty bell rang, and went straight to the dormitory.

The virtual helmet he ordered arrived at noon, and the instant noodles and mineral water had already been prepared, and he was waiting to get off work.

As soon as he ran back to the dormitory, he couldn't wait to put on the virtual helmet, open the game login interface, enter the account password, click with the left mouse button, confirm, and start.

He suddenly felt darkness all around him, and then a line of words appeared in front of his eyes: "Do you believe in miracles?"

Zhu Jiong replied subconsciously: "I believe it's strange."

Another line of words appeared in front of him: "We will create miracles for you."

Zhu Jiong curled his lips and urged: "Then create one and show me."

"brush"

His eyes lit up, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of him.

"Damn, it's so beautiful."

Although he knew it was synthesized by computer, Zhu Jiong was still shocked.

This beauty is simply too beautiful. It combines the advantages of all oriental women, and every part of her body is perfect.

Well, it's barely a miracle.

The beauty said in a pleasant voice: "Welcome to the military industry world. During the public beta, all players have a chance to draw a lottery. Please click the left button of the mouse to start the lottery draw."

As soon as the beauty finished speaking, a turntable appeared on her left, with ten grids from VIP1 to VIP10 on it.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiong casually clicked the left button of the mouse, and the turntable began to turn, turning faster and faster.

"Please click the left mouse button again."

Zhu Jiong clicked the left mouse button again, the turntable slowed down, and finally stopped at VIP3.

The voice of the beautiful woman came to his ears again: "Congratulations, you will get a consumption quota of [-] yuan. Please spend it within one day, and the system will automatically clear it after one day."

"Please select the period you want to enter."

Three lines of large characters appeared on the right side of the beauty:
Cold Weapon Period: Before 960 AD

Black Powder Period: AD 960-AD 1914

Modern Warfare Era: After 1914 AD

There are densely packed specific periods behind the big characters.

Zhu Jiong, as a descendant of the surname Zhu, has always been brooding about the way the Ming Dynasty's shame ended. In reality, he is powerless and can only seek solace in the game.

Therefore, he chose the black powder period, the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Empire.

"Please choose your occupation."

On the right side of the beauty, there are four occupations and corresponding introductions: civilian, businessman, soldier, and literati.

Zhu Jiong chose the soldier without hesitation.

This has been going on for a long time and it hasn't started yet, so he couldn't help teasing: "Beauty, do you still have to choose between a man and a woman?"

The beauty actually answered his question: "Congratulations on triggering the hidden job. I recommend a promising job to you: shemale."

Zhu Jiong burst into sweat, he really couldn't accept this profession.

So, he asked weakly, "Are there any other hidden occupations?"

The beauty actually replied: "Yes, I recommend you a more promising hidden job: eunuch!"

Zhu Jiong fainted by mistake, and asked helplessly: "Why is there no such promising career as emperor?"

The beauty replied: "Yes, but this job can only be opened by VIP10 customers and special players."

VIP3 costs 500 yuan, and VIP10 does not know how much to charge, so Zhu Jiong can only give up.

The beauty reminded again: "Please choose your type of troops."

On the left side of the beauty, there are numerous options, such as Jinyiwei, Jinwuwei, Yulin Army, Shenji Battalion, Fifth Army Battalion, Tunwei, Frontier Army.
Zhu Jiong's eyes were dazzled, he couldn't help complaining: "There are so many, how do people choose?"

The beauty replied: "I'm sorry, because there are too many players, the system can't answer the players' questions one by one. VIP3 only has three chances to ask questions, and you have already used them up. If you have any questions, you can click the help button in the upper right corner to inquire. I suggest you choose the side The army has the most opportunities to make meritorious service and the fastest upgrades."

Zhu Jiong's face was full of black lines, and he said helplessly: "Then choose the frontier army."

The beauty reminded again: "Please select a specific era."

There was another string of dense options, and Zhu Jiong didn't bother to look at them, so he randomly clicked on one.

"Swipe", the beauty disappeared, and Zhu Jiong appeared in a place similar to a village. There was a compound behind him, and there was a sign beside the gate: Daming Wanquan commanded Si Wanquan Youwei's [-]th household and [-]th household.

"Ding dong" the beauty's voice reminded her ear: "Because you are a VIP3 user, you will be directly upgraded to the chief of a hundred households."

"Ding dong" the beauty's voice reminded her ear again: "The military system is the biggest feature of this game. Click the buy and sell button in the upper right corner to buy equipment and blueprints. The weapons produced can be sold to other players to earn game coins. Coins can be exchanged for money."

"Ding dong, the reminder is over, I wish you a happy game."

Well, the game finally started. Zhu Jiong clicked on the buy and sell button in the upper right corner to see: a set of the simplest production equipment costs 300 taels of gold, and all kinds of firearm blueprints are not less than 200 taels of gold!This is not counting the money for purchasing materials and building a production workshop. He only has a total quota of 500 yuan, which is 500 taels of gold. What a waste!
This Miracle Company is absolutely perfect: If you want to make weapons to earn other people's money, that's fine, just charge more yourself first!

When he first started playing, Zhu Jiong didn't plan to charge money, so he had to buy ready-made ones.

He directly bought fifty of the latest flintlock guns, rifled ones, with a range of more than 500 meters and only eight taels of gold.

With some money left, he equipped all the soldiers with soft armor, bought some swords and shields to arm them all, and began to accept the task: to fight against Tartar.

On Friday, he played all night and was basically familiar with the operation of the game.

On Saturday, he played for one day and one night in a row, and his accumulated military achievements rose to a thousand households.

On Sunday, he continued to play for another day and half the night, and he was about to be promoted to a commander after accumulating military merits.

However, after playing for more than 50 hours in a row, he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes.

So, he sat directly on the chair, wore a virtual helmet, grabbed the mouse, and fell asleep!
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the beautiful voice sounded in his ears: "Attention all players, please pay attention to all players, the company will upgrade the game in one hour, and the estimated upgrade time is eight hours. Please exit the game, Take off the virtual helmet. Please note that you must take off the virtual helmet, otherwise the company will not be responsible for any consequences."

The beauty reminded her three times in a row, and the players gradually quit the game. Only our classmate Zhu Jiong slept like a pig and didn't respond at all.

An hour later, the game started to upgrade, and Zhu Jiong, who was wearing a virtual helmet, trembled all over his body.
