If the biggest beneficiary of the "Secret History of the Late Ming Dynasty 1.02" update is undoubtedly Xiong Yuanba.

As the so-called "one generation of versions and one generation of gods", Xiong Yuanba seems to have seen his hope of becoming a god. I won't talk about the first update. The huge "Donation of the Lord of Tongguan City" cost of one million taels of silver is simply tailor-made for himself.

The system's second activity update, the daily check-in and send "Sweet Flowers Stir-Filled Horse Meat" event, actually helped Xiong Yuanba a lot of help.

Although Xiong Yuanba also brought some fried noodles, dry buns and other dry foods for this mountain adventure, walking in the snowy mountains, these dry foods have limited energy to replenish. The daily "sweet flower-making horse meat" is unparalleled in terms of calories and nutrition. Xiong Yuanba saved a lot of dry food consumption.

This time, Xiong Yuanba was so unrestrained that he was just busy rushing to the road, so his speed was much faster than when he came last time. It took only more than a day to arrive near the cold pond where he was killed last time.

Because of the shadow of being killed last time, this time he was still scared and tiptoed to approach him from a distance. However, this time he was obviously worried. After burying the treasure, Dashun Army had already withdrawn completely. It doesn't matter even if he screams loudly.

Near the Hantan, the Dashun Army was cleaned up very neatly, and there was no trace of the treasure buried here at all.

But in the southeast corner of the Hantan, a small pile of earth was piled up. Xiong Yuanba knew that this might be the place where he buried his "corpse" last time.

He wanted to dig it open, but when he thought about it, it was too much effort. Moreover, the prince's armor had been completely stripped away by Zhang Nai, and there was probably nothing left.

If you want to say it is valuable, when the system updated version 1.01 a few days ago, it was given a bunch of keys, which were airdropped in each person's package. It is said that you can get the house according to the number on the key.

However, Taoist Niu just gave him a single-family house, so he didn't care about the free distribution of the room in this system.

The cave buried in the treasure is on the large stone cliff behind the Han Pond. The temperature in the Han Pond is extremely low in winter, so it is impossible to swim. I also need to build a simple raft.

The sheepskin rafts of the Dashun Army may have been taken away before, but Xiong Yuanba walked around for several times but couldn't find them.

Fortunately, Xiong Yuanba was well prepared this time and brought a lot of equipment such as axes, saws, and ropes. So he cut down some thick branches in the nearby pine forest and tied them tightly with ropes. Gradually tied them into a raft.

In addition to making the raft, Xiong Yuanba took out a wooden sundial and recorded the data of the sun's shadow one by one. When you go back and have time, carefully calculate the coordinate position of this place.

After the raft was completely tied up, the sky gradually became dark. Xiong Yuanba was excited and did not wait for dawn. He lit a torch and drove the raft into the depths of the cold pond.

The treasure of King Chuang was buried in a cave close to the stone wall. There were many vines covering the cave outside, but Xiong Yuanba looked carefully that day, so he found the cave without much trouble.

When Xiong Yuanba took the raft close, lifted up the hidden vines, and stepped into the cave, he found that the entrance of the cave was small, but it was very wide inside. As soon as he entered, there was a wide open space, which could be more than ten feet in size.

The temperature inside the cave is not as cold as outside, but the moisture is very heavy. At the entrance of the cave, the moisture inside the cave conflicts with the air conditioning outside, forming an indelible white mist.

Xiong Yuanba held up the torch and walked into the cave. He found that although the cave was not small in size, it was not very deep. He could reach the end if he didn't walk far.

At the deepest end of the cave, there are hill-like felt cloth piled up. Under the heavy felt cloth, dozens of large iron boxes were covered with seals on each iron box, locking the big lock. The surroundings were wrapped with heavy wax oil, probably for moisture-proof purposes.

Xiong Yuanba knew that this was probably the legendary treasure of the King of Breaking.

He suppressed his excitement and selected the outermost box, split the large lock on it with an axe. Open the box and check what treasures are inside.

The first box opened was extremely large. With the light of the torch in his hand, Xiong Yuanba saw countless calligraphy and paintings neatly placed inside.

However, these calligraphy and paintings were rolled into the shape of a scroll, and the outside was sealed with heavy wax oil, but I didn't know what was inside.

Xiong Yuanba picked up a scroll and weighed it. He felt that it was a little more important, but it was unclear whether it was "drawing" or "character".

This reminded him of a very popular fake cultural relics on the Internet now. He sealed some printed materials and posted them with the words "checked in cultural relics" and sold them online as blind boxes.

Now the scroll in my hand looks like a blind box.

Xiong Yuanba thought to himself: "This is a great cause for the Wang family. Could it be that he has made some blind boxes to fool people, right?"

So he inserted the torch in his hand into the crack of the rock next to him and tore a scroll in his hand hard.

I found that this torn scroll was painted with a landscape, flowers and birds. There were many seals on the signature, but I couldn't tell who drew it. However, looking at the texture, it didn't feel like it was a fake.

Of course, Xiong Yuanba couldn't tell whether this painting was valuable or not.

In fact, Xiong Yuanba had a simple judgment standard in his mind, that is: if a painting has been seen in a textbook, then the painting must be priceless.

According to this judgment standard, Xiong Yuanba successively dismantled more than a dozen scrolls of large and small sizes, but found that he could recognize none of them. As for the quality of the painting, he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and he felt that the style of the painting seemed to be much different.

Xiong Yuanba was afraid that it would be bad if the wax seal was broken, so he did not continue to remove the painting, but opened another box.

After the box was opened, Xiong Yuanba was surprised to find that it was full of jade seals, which could be as large as a dozen or twenty yuan. Each jade seal was extremely large in size, almost the size of a plate.

The reason why Xiong Yuanba knew that these seals were jade seals was because he took advantage of the remaining ink mud on the jade seal, blew a few breaths of heat and tried to cover the felt cloth a few times.

There are many engravings on this jade seal, but Xiong Yuanba only recognizes the two words "Emperor" in the middle of the red seal. Although these jade seals are engraved with seal characters, the two words "Emperor" are just like modern simplified characters, which is extremely easy to recognize.

If you can write the seal with the word "Emperor", it must be a jade seal. However, Xiong Yuanba didn't know why there were so many jade seals. He remembered that the emperor's jade seal should be just one, with the engraved "As long as you live forever" on it.

In addition, why did you even carve the two words emperor on the jade seal, as if you were afraid that others would not know that he was emperor.

Just like a company leader insists on engraving his position as a deputy director of the marketing department on the seal, it looks a bit low no matter how you look at it.

However, there is no need to investigate these things in detail. Since they are the emperor's jade seal, they must be very valuable.

Afterwards, Xiong Yuanba smashed open a few boxes in a row, which were filled with jewelry, jade, antiques and other things. The gold and silver that were made into ingots were not found. It is estimated that gold and silver were all hard currency. Maybe they were all taken as military funds by Li Zicheng and carried with the army, and they were not buried here.

He spread out a large package that had been prepared in advance, selected more exquisite jade and stuffed jewelry into the package.

Xiong Yuanba thought that those jade seals would be worth a lot of silver, but there were more than twenty jade seals, each made of stone, and they were heavy and heavy, so they would definitely not be taken away at once. So he chose a piece of texture that looked like Tianhuang stone, one with gold on it, and put it in the package.

As the saying goes, one liang of yellow and one liang of gold, I hope these two jade seals can be worth some money.

Among all the jewelry, Xiong Yuanba found it very interesting. It was a phoenix carved from gold, holding a yellow bead in its mouth. The phoenix's tail was made into a pointed cone, which looked like a hairpin.

The reason why Xiong Yuanba thought this jewelry was interesting was that the yellow bead in the phoenix's mouth was actually emitting a faint yellow light in the cave. You should know that the cave was not pitch black at this time, and a torch was lit next to it.

It can still emit light next to the torch, which at least means that the bead has a very high luminous degree, and it is likely that it is the legendary night pearl.

Xiong Yuanba did not put the phoenix hairpin into the package, but put it in his arms casually.

In order to make room in the package as much as possible, Xiong Yuanba threw away everything he could throw, and even food and drinking water were thrown into the cave. After all, the system will give you a piece of "sweet flower-filled horse meat" for free when signing in every day. It would be a pity if the free food that came from the airborne would not be used.

If you drink water, you can just drink it by grabbing the snow water on the ground. After all, you can free up a piece of space and you can carry more treasures back.

In this way, Xiong Yuanba brought a large package that could reach dozens of kilograms and carried it on his body. He then simply covered the dozens of boxes with felt cloth, and then he left the cave.

Because it was getting late at this time, Xiong Yuanba did not rush to travel, but took out the star-pulling board to measure the elevation angle of the North Star before camping for rest.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Xiong Yuanba followed the original marker and rushed all the way back to the place where he fell from the cliff, climbed the rope again and returned to the official road.

This time, Xiong Yuanba's treasure digging journey was extremely smooth. When Xiong Yuanba carried a huge package and stood in front of Tongguan City again, it only took three days.

However, the closer we are to the end, the more we need to be more vigilant. The so-called "traveling a hundred miles is half a dozen. In other games, I used to be killed on the way to the warehouse with a bag of spoils. This kind of thing is common.

So when Xiong Yuanba passed the city gate, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at it. Seeing that there were a lot of people blocking the city gate, he was not curious about what he was doing. He walked around a long circle and walked over from behind.

However, this is the case. The more you fear, the more you will have. Even though Xiong Yuanba was so cautious, he was still stared at by his enemy, Zhang Xiaofan.

...

Speaking of Zhang Xiaofan, he has been very energetic these days.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan was distributing steamed buns to countless people in Tongguan at the city gate. This was his newly found gameplay in the past two days.

Zhang Xiaofan's game routine has always been krypton gold, and he is crazy about krypton gold. Then he brought a studio to the game with people, relying on his good equipment and many subordinates. He is rampant in the game and will chop whoever he doesn't like.

However, if you play too much of this unscrupulous and almost venting game, you will actually get bored, so Zhang Xiaofan usually changes games very frequently.

But just a few days ago, he vowed not to spend a penny in this game called "The Legend of Ming Dynasty". Instead, he used the system's financial loopholes to make the server's GM defeated. After a few rounds, Zhang Xiaofan felt that he seemed to have found the happiness he had in the first game.

The game is still a bit interesting. The money earned by using the rules of the game is much more interesting than recharge of krypton gold. Just like the food you cooked by yourself, it always tastes particularly sweet. Zhang Xiaofan found the money earned by purchasing the player's equipment cabinet this time.

Moreover, during this process, Zhang Xiaofan found that the people's aura was particularly smart in the game. He thought that relying on the staff of the studio, it might take some effort to mobilize the blacksmiths in the city.

Unexpectedly, he only opened a small head, and these blacksmiths found their own relatives and friends and joined the great cause of "melting iron casting".

He just set the rules, and everything went step by step, and the business went surprisingly smoothly.

In just two days, Zhang Xiaofan basically broke up all the equipment cabinets of the city players. Although he did not intend to make money, Zhang Xiaofan still made a lot of money after deducting manpower and losing money.

For a second-generation ancestor like Zhang Xiaofan, if you make money, it would be even more uncomfortable than beating him. However, there is really nothing worth spending in the city except the outrageously expensive "Donation of the Lord of Tongguan City" that can be paid.

So Zhang Xiaofan thought of giving steamed buns to players, because in this "game", all players have a hunger level setting and they have to replenish food almost every other period of time.

For players, it is actually something that they are not used to. Cooking in the game is too troublesome, and going to the city to eat ready-made ones is troublesome. The beauty of steamed buns is that they are both hungry and easy to store.

Tongguan City is a military city, and it has already stored many granaries, including not only military warehouses, but also several charity warehouses. After this Tongguan War, it received countless food from the Duoduo army.

Without taking the initiative to receive these spoils, the players were completely controlled by Ma Shiyao's Dashun Army. Almost every granary in the city is full of food.

These days, Ma Shiyao intends to make friends with the heroes and greets his soldiers. Don’t have conflicts with the players on the issue of food and grass. At this time, he saw that some players were willing to use silver to buy food, and Dashun Army also tried its best to supply them.

So Zhang Xiaofan bought a lot of flour and hired the indigenous people in the city to make a lot of steamed buns and distributed them everywhere at the gate of the city.

What Zhang Xiaofan thought was to send more steamed buns to players, so that they could gain a good reputation and strengthen their "vegetarian food legion".

But what he didn't expect was that at the beginning, the players came to pick up steamed buns, but later the indigenous people in the city came to hear the news.

Zhang Xiaofan doesn't care. The people's aids in this game seem to be quite high. After eating their own steamed buns, they may increase their favorability, so they did not deliberately distinguish between players and people in Tongguan. As long as they want to eat steamed buns, they will be two for each person, until they are sent.

This time, the entire Tongguan was sensational, and the news spread quickly. Even the people from the villages outside the city rushed to get steamed buns when they heard the news.

You should know that these days there are almost no places that are not famine. The people finally get some food, and they will be forced to confiscate them by the powerful people from all over the country. Therefore, it is a blessing to be able to eat ordering dumplings on weekdays.

Now that white flour buns are distributed for free at the gate of Tongguan City, I have never heard of this for generations.

If it goes back to the Wanli period, it is said that when there is a famine, there will be some porridge for relief in the government, but there are countless sand and stones in it, and the porridge is even more sparse.

In the past ten years of the Chongzhen Dynasty, even if there were famines, the three wages could not be stopped. It was even more unheard of fortifications.

In addition, in any dynasty, even if the rich households in the city have food and money, they dare not open warehouses and provide relief easily, otherwise they will be labeled as "buying the hearts of the people and making ill intentions" and will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

But at this time, in Tongguan City, after the Shangyuan Festival incident, Wushan Boma Shiyao was full of small thoughts to players, fearing that he would offend something.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan distributed steamed buns at the gate of the city, not only did not stop the Dashun Army, but also sent people to coordinate order. For a time, many people were not in chaos and lined up in a long line.
