Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

At dawn, after the roosters crowed, a series of orderly shouts echoed through the village.

Four neatly arranged groups of young people, carrying heavy bundles on their backs, were jogging around the village under the guidance of Gao Shun and led by Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qingan, and Liu Baitu.

Every morning, the five-kilometer weighted cross-country run has become a unique sight in Wucun Township.

The villagers, who get up early in the morning, enthusiastically comment on who runs the fastest and who runs the slowest among the most energetic young people in the village that day.

..........

At home, Duan Yu struggled to lift a boulder weighing 500 jin (approximately 250 kg).

Every muscle in his body seemed to have been sculpted by the gods.

In just half a month, Duan Yu discovered that he had gained a lot of weight.

But it wasn't fat; it was muscle.

The intense training, coupled with a dramatic increase in food intake, made Duan Yu feel, almost as if he himself had gained weight.

The circumference of the arms, thighs, chest muscles, and abdominal muscles have all increased significantly.

Not just muscles.

He didn't know if it was because of the system, but he felt that his height seemed to have started to grow again.

The pants I used to wear seem to be a little too short.

[Ding! The [Tenfold Effect] has taken effect. Each time the host lifts a boulder, the effect is increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 experience.]

[Ding! The [Tenfold Effect] has taken effect. Each time the host lifts a boulder, the effect is increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 experience.]

[Ding! The [Tenfold Entry] effect has been activated. The host has lifted a boulder once...]

With each lift, the system's voice echoed in my mind, granting me experience.

There are no more intact bows left in the house.

He had already broken all the usable bowstrings.

All that remained was the precious carved bow that Dong Yi had given him.

Therefore, the progress of improving the archery skill must be paused.

But for some reason, he has been feeling increasingly threatened lately.

Therefore, exercise should never be stopped.

If you can't practice archery, then train your strength.

[Ding! The [Tenfold Effect] has taken effect. Each time the host lifts a boulder, the effect is increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 experience.]

[Ding! The [Tenfold Ability] has taken effect. The host lifted the boulder once, and the effect increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, the ability has been upgraded to [Nine Oxen's Strength - Purple]]

The moment the system voice sounded, Duan Yu felt the 500-pound boulder in his hand suddenly become lighter.

Upgraded!

The Strength attribute has been upgraded.

Name: Duan Yu

【Age: 25】

Height: 188cm

[Weight: 90 kg]

【词条：【十倍速度-金色】【箭如连珠-紫色0/1000000】【九牛之力-紫色0/100000】【刀刀致命-蓝色5000/10000】】

Bang!

Duan Yu tossed the 500-pound boulder aside.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook the beads of sweat off his hands.

Based on past experience, lifting a 500-pound boulder at this point will no longer grant experience points.

"This time it should be replaced with a thousand-pound one, right?"

Duan Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.

A boulder weighing a thousand pounds, lifted ten thousand times.

A thousand catties, what does that mean?

Half a ton!

Unfortunately, there are no massive stones weighing thousands of pounds in this house.

Otherwise, he really wanted to test the limits of the strength of nine oxen.

However, as his power increased, Duan Yu also discovered a problem.

That is......

He turned his head to look at the various weapons placed on the weapon rack to the side.

It basically has all the weapons: swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

But he had already tried them before, and none of them felt too light in his hand.

It's like...

It felt like pinching a bean sprout.

He used to struggle a bit when lifting a 500-pound boulder for training.

But lifting a 500-pound boulder is no longer considered strenuous.

In other words, he would most likely not feel how heavy a 200-pound weapon is when he wields it.

But he remembered that Lu Bu's halberd weighed only about a hundred pounds.

Where can I find a suitable weapon?

This is a problem.

........

Breakfast is finished.

Duan Yu stood in the courtyard.

Diao Chan stood behind Duan Yu and gently fastened the armor.

The black jade unicorn beast, along with Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, were ready with two ten-person teams.

Liu He said yesterday before he left that he would be reporting to Jinyang City first thing this morning.

While Diao Chan was putting armor on Duan Yu, Duan Yu was also giving instructions to Gao Shun.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for several days."

"Your sister will handle all matters at home."

"Keeping you at home is keeping the house safe."

"Try to stay home as much as possible these next few days; everyone should eat and sleep at home."

"I will have someone send the grain and such from Jinyang."

"Be extra vigilant at night and during the day."

Duan Yu looked at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun nodded vigorously.

Seeing Gao Shun nod, Duan Yu felt relieved.

Duan Yu firmly believes that hard work will be rewarded.

He distributed meat to the villagers to win them over, and after succeeding You Jiao, he gathered so many young people, and now it has finally come in handy.

He had a bad feeling about this trip to the county on official business.

But not going is obviously not an option.

If he doesn't go, that would be disobeying orders and showing disrespect.

First of all, You Jiao's official position is definitely in jeopardy.

Moreover, if You Jiao loses his position, his prestige in the village will plummet.

They will likely face accountability from the county government.

In this way, all his previous efforts were wasted.

So, I definitely have to go.

and.....

Only a person can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.

If there is indeed something hidden about this matter, he needs to find out exactly what that hidden thing is, and why, so as to eliminate any future troubles.

We can't stay passive like this forever.

So, I definitely have to go.

Gao Shun was stubborn and straightforward.

But Duan Yu had complete confidence in his ability to get things done.

With Gao Shun at home, there is nothing to worry about.

After making all the preparations, Duan Yu set off.

At the village entrance, Duan Yu rode on a black jade Qilin beast, carrying a longbow on his back and a sword at his waist.

Behind him stood iron stones, and twenty able-bodied men from the village led by Wang Hunu.

Clad in bamboo armor and with a sword at his waist, he already exuded the aura of a military force.

Their marching movements were perfectly synchronized, demonstrating strict military discipline.

In the distance, Diao Chan stood at the village entrance, waving goodbye to Duan Yu with reluctance.

Duan Yu smiled lightly, waved his hand, and then turned his horse around and headed towards Jinyang City.

...........

Jinyang.

noon.

Dong Zhuo's residence.

Li Ru, dressed in a black official robe, strode in through the main gate and headed straight for the main hall in the front courtyard.

...........

At this moment, in the main hall, Dong Zhuo was sitting and smiling at Dong Yi.

Dong Yi blushed and lowered her head.

"Yi'er, I heard that you stayed overnight in one of the five villages yesterday?"

"When did my Yi'er become so attentive to a man?"

"Haha." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "Yi'er, there are no outsiders here. Tell your father the truth, do you like that Duan Yu?"

"If you like it, just say so, and your father will arrange everything for you."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yi's pretty face turned even redder.

Seeing his daughter like this, Dong Zhuo smiled knowingly.

This was the first time he had ever seen his daughter act so shyly when he mentioned a man.

"Father, Duan Yu... he's already married," Dong Yi said softly.

"Hey!" Dong Zhuo chuckled and said, "What's so special about this?"

"Isn't it normal for a grown man to have three wives and four concubines?"

"A capable man should have three wives and four concubines."

Dong Yi immediately stared wide-eyed at Dong Zhuo: "Father, you don't want me to become someone else's concubine, do you?"

“Eh!” Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, “What are you saying? How could my daughter, Dong Zhuo’s daughter, become someone else’s concubine?”

"Could it be that my Yi'er is not as good as a girl from a humble family?"

"It's no big deal. At worst, we can just make Duan Yu divorce his wife and marry you instead."

Without a second thought, Dong Yi shook her head and said, "No, Duan Yu won't divorce his wife, I know that."

"and......"

Dong Yi said with a disappointed look, "If Duan Yu is really the kind of man who would divorce his wife for the sake of his future or vanity, your daughter won't like him."

She recalled that she had tried to win Duan Yu over many times since they first met.

But Duan Yu refused them all.

Moreover, she believed that Duan Yu knew her feelings.

If Duan Yu were truly the kind of man who would stop at nothing to advance his career, none of these subsequent events would have occurred.

Dong Yibei gently bit her lip, one hand covering her lower abdomen.

Sitting in the main seat, Dong Zhuo reached out and gently stroked his beard.

"Haha, the man my Yi'er has chosen is certainly right." Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, at worst we won't distinguish between senior and junior wives, we'll treat them as equals."

"As long as you're happy, Yi'er, your father will make the decision."

Dong Zhuo patted his chest.

Just then, Li Ru hurriedly walked into the main hall.
