Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 4 Arrival at Yunyan Town

Suo Chao's base speed attribute was only 5 points, and his walking speed was only half that of an average adult. According to the original plan, he would have to walk for at least 5 hours to reach Yunyan Town.

Even if Suo Chao had used all his strength, the sun would have already set and dusk would have covered the earth. But now he had the ability to move quickly, which was a good start. Suo Chao's mouth curled up, and his confidence grew.

At this time, the clear and pleasant system sound rang out again.

[Warm Tip: Speed ​​attribute points above 100 can only increase the success rate of dodge. When activating Divine Movement, it can no longer increase the host's basic speed!]

"Oh! Is it double happiness?" Suo Chao pouted, feeling a little disappointed.

It seems base speed can't be easily divided. Going from 5 to 10 speed points doubles Suo Chao's base speed. However, if base speed exceeds 100 points, things become different.

After the Divine Movement is activated, the speed gain lasts for one hour.

80点的速度属性值,加上额外300%的速度加成。他一小时正常行程是84~96公里,极速行程可达120公里。

Suo Chao's speed range was 168-192 kilometers per hour at normal speed, and 240 kilometers per hour at rapid speed. As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"This skill is really a magic trick for digging for treasure and escaping!" Suo Chao shouted excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement and his hands slightly clenched into fists.

He frowned and thought to himself:

"I wonder what the side effects of using Shenxing are?"

"But for me now, it's really a life-saving straw." He muttered silently in his heart, with a look of relief on his face.

At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent, with only the gentle breeze rustling the leaves. Suo Chao raised his head and gazed into the distance, a smile still on his lips, and said softly:

"Thank you for the care of the system! I can reach the town in less than a quarter of an hour." His eyes were full of expectation and longing for the future.

[Hmph!!! Host, please hurry up and complete the mission as soon as possible!!!]

"! Divine Movement Activated!!"

As fast as the wind, as quick as lightning! Suo Chao's afterimage appeared on the road. Suo Chao smiled knowingly.

"Haha, it feels so good!!!" he said excitedly, and his little hands couldn't help but clench, fearing that this was a dream.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Suo Chao arrived at the outskirts of Yunyan Town. He slowed down his pace and walked confidently towards the main street of the town.

This place wasn't as prosperous as I'd imagined, but there were quite a few beggars wandering the streets. These beggars were skinny, their eyes dull, and they looked like they'd been starving for years. Their faces were swollen, their legs and feet weak, and they were gasping for breath.

The vendors on the street were also hawking their wares listlessly. Hungry and with business slowing, they were in a bad mood.

Suo Chao approached and started a conversation, not wanting to buy anything, but no one responded, as everyone was trying to save their energy. Beggars and vendors represented the mental outlook of the lower, middle, and upper classes of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This was what life was like during a famine.

In this era, few people could read. Every stall was decorated with a straw sign, each representing one penny. Later, Guan Erye frequently mentioned "sticking a sign and selling one's head," referring to the popular folk trading method used by vendors at the time.

Suo Chao walked slowly to the fish soup stall, stopped, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a gentle voice:

"Uncle, how much is this fish soup?" There was a hint of curiosity and anticipation on his face.

The fish soup stall owner, busy with his work, looked up and answered cheerfully:

"One straw sign, one bowl!"

After hearing this, Suo Chao slowly stood up and glanced around. Then he subconsciously reached out and touched the lining of his coat, thinking that he should have enough money. Then he said:

"Uncle, please cook me a bowl. I have money!" As he spoke, his face was filled with confidence.

When the fish soup owner saw the money Suo Chao took out, he smiled and nodded, and started to cook the fish soup.

At this time, Suo Chao looked at the busy boss, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Uncle, I want to ask you something. Is there a pharmacy nearby?"

The fish soup stall owner stopped what he was doing, pointed at the house in front, and said:

"Go straight along this street, and you'll see a pharmacy on the corner!"

Suo Chao nodded quickly, a grateful smile on his face, and said:

"Okay, thank you uncle."

Suo Chao finished his fish soup with relish, paid a penny, said goodbye to the boss, and walked towards the medicine shop.

[Ding, 2 treasure chests detected nearby, meet the opening conditions, do you want to open them?]

"Open it!" Suo Chao said decisively.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Heavenly Gang Soul-Returning Thirty-Six Needles" acupuncture technique.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a set of "Flying Crane Divine Needles", a total of 36 pieces.]

[Thirty-six Heavenly Soul-Restoring Needles: This acupuncture technique can bring the dead back to life. This is the highest sacred technique that reaches the highest level of medicine, far surpassing the medical level of this world.]

A series of system prompt sounds rang out.

"Well, not bad!" Suo Chao was delighted.

Whether in prosperous times or troubled times, top-notch medical skills are a powerful tool for making a fortune and currying favor with the powerful. After all, everyone values ​​life, especially those wealthy gentlemen.

"Resurrection? As long as the patient is still breathing, I can pull him back from the gates of hell?" Suo Chao asked in a skeptical tone.

"Yes! However, if the patient is weak, they must be given medicinal herbs to nourish and condition him. A three-foot-thick ice doesn't form overnight."

Suo Chao was convinced that he had acquired peerless medical skills and was beaming with joy. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, famine, war, and epidemics were rampant. Superb medical skills were a magical skill that could help one survive in this world.

"I have a stable job!" Suo Chao couldn't believe it and pinched his face hard.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty saw three renowned physicians, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing being the most renowned. One was a miraculous healer known to various feudal lords, while the other authored numerous books, some of which still exist. The last, Dong Feng, was a more recent figure, active during the latter stages of the Three Kingdoms period. All three were renowned figures of their time, highly sought after wherever they went.

"With such a magical skill, it will be much easier to join a faction." Suo Chao murmured.

Before he knew it, Suo Chao had already reached the door of the drugstore. He walked into the drugstore and called out in a childish voice:

"Boss, do you have cinnamon twigs, ginger, licorice, or jujubes? I also want to buy a ginseng and two servings of angelica. If so, how much would they cost in total?"

The owner of the drugstore frowned, staring intently at the small figure in front of him, muttering to himself.

"Where did this little brat come from?! Go away, stop making trouble here!

"Hello uncle, my uncle is sick and I need to buy some medicinal herbs to treat him!" Little Suochao raised his little face and said seriously, with anxiety and sincerity in his eyes.

"What? You have a sick person at home and you're still running around. Don't you know that this epidemic is very serious?" the pharmacist said impatiently, as if he was about to drive people away.

The town was patrolled daily, and any sick patients discovered would be expelled to the suburbs along with their entire families by the town officials. The owner of the drugstore was irritated.

"Hurry up and leave, or I'll call someone to arrest you!" He glared at Xiao Suochao and said sternly

"Uncle, please don't be afraid, I can cure this disease!" Suo Chao said hurriedly and anxiously, his little face full of determination.

"Can you cure this disease? Stop kidding, you little brat? The famous doctors in town can't do anything about it, what can a child like you do? Get out of here right now, or I'll really call for help!" The owner of the drugstore looked incredulous, sneered, and raised his voice.

Suo Chao was speechless. Alas, my words carry little weight! Who would believe the words of a three-year-old? He frowned and said firmly:

"Boss, I have money, and I can really cure this disease. I'm really here to buy herbs, not to fool you."

After Suo Chao finished speaking, he nervously reached into the lining of his clothes and carefully took out the money. The shopkeeper's doubts were slightly dispelled.

"If you really don't believe me, let's make a bet. If I can cure the people in the suburbs, can you sell me some herbs?"

The owner of the drugstore narrowed his eyes slightly, looked the child up and down carefully, and said with an impatient look on his face:

"Haha, you think you can cure the patients in the suburbs? If you can cure those patients, why not give you my herbs for free?"

"Really?" Xiao Suochao was secretly delighted, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course you are serious. Would I bully a child like you?" The owner of the drug store curled his lips.

"Okay! A gentleman's word is as good as gold. I will go to the suburbs to treat the illness now. I hope uncle will not go back on his word when the time comes." Suo Chao bit his lip and said firmly.

"Alas, I was born in a poor family and have no one to rely on." Suo Chao sighed and urged his supernatural power to rush to the suburbs.

No wonder those unsystematic travelers who came to the Three Kingdoms world either had to become the son of a powerful figure or have a famous teacher to pave the way for them! Otherwise, it would be really difficult!

Fortunately, Suo Chao possessed exceptional medical skills and awe-inspiring mobility. If faced with danger, he could easily escape. Otherwise, his fate would be uncertain. In this chaotic world, he might have died before even leaving town.

"Uncle, can you give me some bupleurum, scutellaria, ginseng, pinellia, ginger, roasted licorice and jujube first? Here's the money for the medicine." Little Suochao blinked his bright eyes and looked at the owner of the drug store expectantly. His little hands nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes, thinking in his heart that he must get these medicinal materials.

"Go away, keep the money on you. I dare not take money from the family of the plague patient! This disease is highly contagious." The owner of the drugstore frowned and waved his hand impatiently, his tone full of disgust.

"I can give you some ginger and licorice, you can make do with it for now!" The shopkeeper said as he casually took out some ginger and licorice from the medicine cabinet and threw them on the counter, still with an impatient look on his face.

"Okay, I'll be back soon!" Xiao Suochao responded quickly, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He quickly picked up the ginger and licorice, held them tightly in his hands, then turned around and trotted out of the pharmacy.

In fact, with Suo Chao's acupuncture skills, this disease can be cured. However, considering that most of the epidemics in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were typhoid fever, he wanted to verify the Xiao Chaihu prescription.

Suo Chao didn't hesitate, his speed skill still in effect. The owner of the medicine shop looked at the child who had disappeared in a flash, his mouth wide open.

"This little brat is really good at martial arts! Could he be a disciple of some hidden master?" The shop owner was shocked and muttered to himself.

At this time, the pharmacy was filled with the mixed smell of various herbs, and the sunlight shone in obliquely, casting patches of light and shadows on the ground.
