Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 52 "New Imports", our cattle and horse team has grown again!

Cao Yan walked into the military camp and looked around for Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was tall and strong, and stood out among the soldiers.

Cao Yan walked up and threw [Insight] at him, and a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind:
[Name: Dian Wei (no name)
Sex: Male
Hobbies: Drinking, daydreaming

Favorability: 10%
Entries: Ancient Evil (gold), Loyal Soul Protecting the Master (purple), Flying Halberd (purple), Drunk (white), Mad (gray)]

【Ancient Evil (Gold)】:
Passive: Increases attack range by 30% in close combat, forming a "death battle zone" after completing a kill. All enemies within a ten-meter range of the self will have one layer of armor penetration and fear effect added every 3 seconds, up to a maximum of 5 layers.

Active: Removes all control effects on the user, increases attack damage by 80%, and attack speed by 100%. Duration: 15 minutes, Cooldown: 10 days (after the duration ends, the user enters a weakened state, with all attributes reduced by 60%, duration: 3 days).

[Loyal Soul Protects the Master (Purple)]: When protecting the commander, you will automatically share 50% of the damage received by the commander. For every 10% of damage shared, your own attack and defense power will be increased by 10%, and the maximum stacking level is 5 times.

Tough!

He is worthy of being called “the evil man of ancient times”!
He stepped forward and deliberately asked, "Are you Dian Wei?"

"I am Dian Wei." Dian Wei replied in a muffled voice.

"Very good. From today on, you will be my personal guard." Cao Yan said loudly.

"Oh." Dian Wei agreed, then hesitantly asked, "May I ask who you are, sir?"

Cao Yan was stunned and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It seems that you don't even know who I am, but you agreed to be my personal soldier? How can you be so casual?!"

Despite his complaints, Cao Yan still smiled and replied, "I am the Household Officer of Dongjun, the Captain of the New Army, and Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Yan, Cao Zi'an!"

"Are you Cao Zi'an?" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, then he grinned and said, "Follow you, I won't have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future!"

"???"

Wow, this is a foodie!

Cao Yan suddenly recalled that the Records of the Three Kingdoms recorded that Dian Wei "loved wine and food, and would eat and drink as much as anyone. Whenever he was served food, he would drink heavily and sip long, with his left and right following him, and several people would serve him."

This means that Dian Wei ate and drank twice as much as others. Every time Cao gave him wine and food, he would eat and drink to his heart's content. The servants beside him would bring him wine and dishes one after another, and it would take several people to keep up with him.

Cao Yan suddenly began to worry about his meager salary.

But it would be a pity to miss out on a person like Dian Wei who is "loyal and cautious by nature".

Besides, if the money is not enough, just go to your brother and ask for it. It’s not a big problem.

So Cao Yan said to Dian Wei in a heroic manner: "Don't worry, follow me, and from now on you will have enough wine and meat!"

"My lord, please accept Dian Wei's greeting!" Dian Wei saluted with his fists clasped.

At this point, the recognition of master was completed, and Dian Wei automatically stood behind Cao Yan.

Then, the system's prompt sounded in Cao Yan's mind.
[Dian Wei's favorability towards you has changed. Current favorability: 90%]

"Fuck! It's already 90%?" Cao Yan was surprised and happy. He stared at the golden [Ancient Evil] and decisively chose "Copy"!
[Copy successful! Congratulations on obtaining the entry: Ancient Evil (Gold)]

[The term tree for your current equipment has reached its upper limit. New terms have been automatically stored in the term library for you.]

Cao Yan uninstalled a blue attribute that he had on him before, and then installed [Ancient Evil]!
In an instant, Cao Yan felt that his whole body was filled with strength, and he became very arrogant!

But problems also arose. Cao Yan thought to himself, "It's a pity that my basic martial arts strength is too low. I only have this golden entry, but it's difficult to unleash its true power."

Thinking of this, Cao Yan began to search his own entry library.

After a moment, he found the two entries [Study Hard (Purple)] and [Train Hard (Blue)] and replaced them, and then prepared to find a "master" to start learning martial arts.

Good things should not be wasted! Besides, now that we are living in this chaotic world, practicing martial arts can at least help us protect ourselves.

Cao Yan is currently preparing the following five entries: Lingxiang Xunling (gold), Gu Zhi Elai (gold), Super Stamina (purple), Diligent Study (purple), Hard Training (blue)
Two golds, two purples and one blue already show luxury.

Cao Yan, in a good mood, took Dian Wei out of the military camp.

When I reached the city gate, I suddenly saw a middle-aged scholar.

This man was eight feet and three inches tall, with a beautiful beard under his chin, exuding an air of elegance and strength.

Such a strange temperament is definitely not that of an ordinary person.

So Cao Yan quickly threw a [Insight] at him,
[Name: Cheng Yu (Zi Zhongde)

Sex: Male
Hobbies: reading, fitness

Favorability: 10%
Entries: Strategic and Decision-Making (Gold), Contentment and Respect (Purple), Bravery (Blue), Advice (Blue), Unyielding and Rebellious (Gray)]

[Strategic and Decision-Making (Metal)]: When the enemy launches a surprise attack/ambush, Cheng Yu has a 50% chance of seeing through the enemy's plan and triggering the "Food Cut-off Ambush" skill, causing the enemy to lose 50% of their baggage. If the enemy is already in a "Food Shortage" state, the surprise attacking force will cause 300% strategy damage.

[Be Content and Not Humiliated (Purple)]: When you actively choose to stop attacking, you can activate "Retire After Success", restore 15% of your own and the entire army's strength, and clear negative status.

"Ha! Cheng Yu is here!" Cao Yan was delighted and quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Sir, please stay!"

Cheng Yu heard someone calling from behind, so he stopped and turned around.

He saw a young scholar with an outstanding temperament, followed by a ferocious-looking guard, walking towards him.

Cheng Yu waited until Cao Yan and the other man came to him before asking, "May I ask what advice you have, little brother?"

"My name is Cao Yan, Cao Zi'an. May I know your name, sir?" Cao Yan asked, bowing.

Hearing that it was Cao Yan, Cao Zi'an, who had recently gained a good reputation, Cheng Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde, from Dong'e, Dongjun. Nice to meet Captain Cao!"

Cao Yan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Sir, you really have come to accept the invitation. Come with me to the prefectural governor's mansion!"

Soon, Cao Yan brought Dian Wei and Cheng Yu to the county magistrate's mansion.

The three of them stepped into the main hall and saw Xun Yu and Guo Jia chatting happily with three strangers.

Xun Yu saw Cao Yan leading the two men in, and he stood up with a smile and said, "Zi'an, you've arrived just in time. Let me introduce you to someone."

Then he raised his hand and pointed at the three strangers in turn. "This is Mao Jie, courtesy name Xiaoxian; this is Yu Jin, courtesy name Wenze; ​​and this is Man Chong, courtesy name Boning. They are all top-notch talents in Yanzhou."

Mao Jie, Yu Jin and Man Chong all stood up and bowed to Cao Yan.

Cao Yan quickly returned the greetings, and then, smiling, introduced the two people he had brought with him: "This is Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde; this is my new bodyguard Dian Wei."

Guo Jia laughed and joked, "Finally, new people (oxen and horses) have arrived. Wonderful, wonderful!"

Cao Yan thought for a moment and immediately suggested to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, in my opinion, the post of Gongcao is best left to Mr. Zhongde, while my post of Hucao can be handed over to Bo Ning."

Xun Yu was unexpectedly straightforward this time, and without even thinking, he replied, "Very good, as you say!"

Cao Yan suddenly felt something was amiss and thought to himself, "In the past, when I wanted to resign, Wen Ruo was always hesitant and unwilling to agree, but today he's so happy to do so... Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary!"

An ominous premonition hung over Cao Yan's heart.

As expected, Xun Yu cleared his throat and announced, "The lord has decreed that Cao Zi'an has made great achievements in training the troops and managing the people's livelihood. I am hereby promoted to the rank of General of the Central Army in charge of Agriculture. From now on, all matters concerning military and civilian settlements, as well as soldier training, will be under the responsibility of Zi'an!"

“…………”Cao Yan felt numb instantly.
