Chapter 370: Chapter 370
[The uprising in Nanchang erupted, later transitioning to Guangdong. Despite setbacks, it laid the foundation for the People’s Army, marking August 1st as the Republic’s Army Day, signifying the party’s independent formation of revolutionary forces.]
The grey plot card is evidently not yet time to activate.
However, on the Republic’s timeline, the Nanchang Uprising was in 1927, but Tian Kai’s plot is in 1921—did he get the plot card this early?
What kind of person did he come into contact with?
Could it be one of the core figures?
Thinking of this, Blue Star netizens in the livestream room exploded.
[Hiss—Holy crap? This is amazing?!]
[No way? How did you choose? Could you be an original shareholder of the Republic?]
[Holy crap? Getting such a plot card this early? The NPC he contacted must be important!]
[Streamer, you can’t die; you’re currently one of the few on the internet near the original shareholder level!]
[That’s right, that’s right, be cautious in battle! Survival is the way!]
[In the future, if we want to know any secrets of the Republic, it all depends on how well you mix in! Your plot can’t die!]
As the Blue Star water friends in the livestream room said, given the current situation, Tian Kai is most likely to be near the original shareholders. Other streamers, no matter their identities, haven’t achieved this.
But what are millions in assets worth if you can’t find the right NPC?
So far on the entire web, no one has seen familiar figures from the later Republic CG, not even able to find based on the character traits in CG.
Meanwhile, Blue Star players summarized based on the Republic’s timeline.
May Fourth Movement, First Congress, Nanchang Uprising... Long March, Four Crossings of the Chishui River—these plots should be able to approach the Republic’s original shareholders.
But there were too many people during the May Fourth Movement, impossible to start.
And with these later plot events, not knowing where they took place, it’s even harder to approach and trigger a plot card.
Someone has triggered the Nanchang Uprising’s plot card, and several years early—could Blue Star netizens in the livestream not be excited?
The livestream room’s Blue Star netizens urge Tian Kai to check out the plot characters.
Yet Tian Kai leisurely cleans the battlefield, changing the livestream room title. After holding back for so many days, he must show off a bit.
The livestream’s popularity quickly rises due to the Nanchang Uprising title.
Until the popularity is about right.
Tian Kai finally follows the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield back to their small county station, returning with the spoils.
The dining staff’s meals are ready, and everyone is eager to serve food with their bowls.
The soldiers laugh and queue up, the clinking sound of coarse porcelain bowls echoing.
Tian Kai just finished serving a bowl of mixed grain rice and sat down when someone shouted:
"Commander (Guerrilla Commander of Xiangxi’s First Route Supporting Hubei People’s Army)!"
"The story you told last time is not finished yet!"
"What happened after you rebelled with two kitchen knives? Did you chop up that landlord exploiting the poor?"
Several people nearby chimed in:
"The opponent had dozens of guns."
"Commander, what were you thinking at the time? Tell us!"
The soldiers squatting against the wall became excited, placing seven or eight bowls down simultaneously, staring at the authoritative man in faded military attire.
Tian Kai looked afar, whispering to Blue Star’s water friends in the livestream room:
The authoritative man in faded military uniform paused in his meal, placed chopsticks on the pickle dish, then suddenly grinned:
"Alright, you all haven’t heard enough?"
The surrounding soldiers shouted in unison:
The authoritative man put down the rice bowl in his hand, holding it:
"Okay, let me continue the story."
"What was I thinking at the time?"
"So what about dozens of guns?"
"When you see the poor being bullied, won’t you stand up for them?!"
The authoritative man suddenly slapped his thigh, voice rising sharply:
"Seeing the poor being bullied, and being a coward, that’s being an accomplice!"
"Those landlords, relying on their guns, are oppressors and murderers, do they really think no one dares to touch them?"
"I led people, sneaking into the estate under cover of darkness."
"Those henchmen were still playing cards and drinking; they never thought someone dared to come?"
The soldiers around listened intently, unconsciously following the authoritative man’s story, returning to that blood-boiling night.
Tian Kai’s livestream room.
Blue Star netizens were also immersed in the story.
[Who is this commander? So fierce!]
[Daring to challenge a landlord with dozens of guns with two knives? That’s a true badass!]
[So, if you dare to think and act, you can start with two kitchen knives.]
[Hiss—! What’s this big shot’s name?]
[Haven’t seen in CG before; could he be a hidden big shot?!]
"I don’t know yet whether he’s hidden; currently, I only know our commander’s name...."
Another streamer, Ding Ming, who also started in 1921.
Is currently boating on South Lake, Jiaxing.
Ding Ming is holding several newspapers with the current situation of the Republic:
"Feng Guozhang is about to fight Zhang Zuolin."
"Zhang Xueliang took power in 1928, meaning Zhang Zuolin fell in 1928."
"Any brothers starting from 1928, could you check how Zhang Zuolin fell?"
"I.... What’s going on?"
"Why have so many people left?!"
Ding Ming just said two sentences and realized something was wrong; the number of viewers in the livestream room dropped by two-thirds, leaving only two thousand.
Though he’s not a major streamer, this drop is too fast?!
The bullet screen provided answers:
[Someone triggered the Nanchang Uprising plot card; there’s nothing you can do about it.]
[Indeed, it’s a major event for the Republic, not a common one.]
[Streamer, just relax and share gossip, enjoy boating.]
Seeing the comments, Ding Ming was also surprised.
With such good luck, someone triggered this level of plot card.
Why can’t I encounter it?
Ding Ming shook his head and flipped a newspaper page:
"Let me see, Mr. Chen Duxiu from Peking University published another article...."
An ancient wooden boat slowly glided across the water, with a woman sitting at the bow, in a plain cheongsam, holding an oil paper umbrella, slightly angled, covering half of her face.
Only revealing calm eyes as she glanced at Ding Ming’s boat, instructing the boatman to change direction.
From within the cabin came a faint voice:
"Comrades, we have reached the most critical moment, discussing the last agenda item...."
"Based on democratic principles, we will elect...."
