25: Chapter 25 Sending out 10,000 red envelopesRowen Kingdom military training grounds.

The thousand kingdom soldiers enlisted this time stood in neat rows, standing solemnly on the vast training field.

Standing on the high platform was the general person in charge of initial training—Major General Carlos, his voice thunderous:

”Attention! Standing before you are First Prince Carlson, Second Prince Mian, and Third Prince Kane! The Princes will each select one hundred soldiers from among you to form their direct units.

Those selected will undergo three months of special training, and the final result will be determined by a phantom simulation battle to decide the position of Crown Prince. This matter is of great importance, a significant decision bearing the responsibility for the future of the kingdom—I hope you will all consider it carefully!”

Without using amplification magic, Carlos’s voice still shook the entire area.

After the speech, he began to accept questions from the soldiers.

A soldier in the front row was the first to raise his hand. He was a model recruit who had passed all subjects with full marks in basic training and had received an ”Excellent” certification personally stamped by Carlos.

”You said ’consider carefully,’ so do we have the right to refuse?”

Upon hearing this, Carlos couldn’t help but snort, the corners of his mouth curling with sarcasm: ”Of course. But you had better think clearly first—joining a Prince’s direct unit is such a rare opportunity!”

”Understood!”

The soldier replied with full vigor. Carlos nodded at him with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the three Princes on the other side of the high platform:

”According to the training performance statistics submitted in advance, the Princes should have already selected their candidates. If further selection is still needed, I can arrange an interview venue.”

Second Prince and Third Prince needed no further words, each handing over a piece of parchment with their lists.

”No interview needed.”

”Same for me.”

After reviewing the two lists, Carlos frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt: ”The two Princes have only listed one hundred people? Are there no backup lists? How will you handle it if there are overlapping candidates or if soldiers refuse?”

”It doesn’t matter, just execute according to the list. We will deal with changes if they occur.”

”I will also follow the arrangement of the Imperial Brother.”

Looking at the Second Prince and Third Prince, who were clearly premeditated and well-prepared, First Prince Carlson gave a cold smile, his eyes filled with irony.

Carlos nodded after a moment of contemplation: ”Understood. I will ask the soldiers for their intentions one by one and report the results to the Princes. What about you, Prince Carlson?”

He looked at the First Prince standing to the side, who had not taken out a list from beginning to end, his eyes full of questions.

”I... wait until Mian and Kane have finished picking, then I will pick from the remaining people.”

”Are you sure? This trial is an important test that will determine the position of Crown Prince—”

Before Carlos could finish his sentence, Mian and Kane interrupted with ”kind” smiles:

”Imperial Brother does not need to be modest. Haven’t you been looking forward to this trial for a long time?”

”We don’t mind, Imperial Brother should prioritize picking.”

The tone was gentle, the smiles appropriate; if one didn’t know the truth, one would almost think this was a scene of brotherly harmony. But behind this hypocritical harmony lay undisguised sarcasm and probing.

”Enough. I didn’t prepare a list, you two pick first.”

Carlson did not want to continue the meaningless conversation and turned to leave.

”Then as you wish.”

After bowing to the two Princes, Carlos also stepped down to fulfill his duties.

Only Mian and Kane remained on the high platform.

Mian sneered in a low voice: ”Heh, surely the Imperial Brother doesn’t really intend to pick people from the ’remnants’?”

”Remnants? Imperial Brother, the rest are also soldiers of our kingdom’s army.”

”Ah, I misspoke. However—if one has an eye for the situation, one would naturally lean towards us. Those who don’t recognize the situation can only stand on the hostile side.”

The two smiled at each other. Knowing full well that they would be at war in the simulation battle three months later, they didn’t care at all and stood side by side, mocking their eldest brother who was in a difficult situation.

First Prince’s Mansion.

After hearing his confidant’s report, Carlson slapped the table in anger:

”Out of eight hundred people, only one person is willing to join my direct unit?!”

”...Yes, Your Highness.”

Carlson’s brows were tightly locked, his anger almost burning from his eyebrows, he growled: ”Are they trying to exclude me directly? Heh... As expected, that so-called trial is just a means for Mian and Kane to show their power.”

”Your Highness, how should we respond next?”

”I can only report to the King and expose their exclusion tactics. We are in the right.”

”But... judging by His Majesty’s attitude, this matter will likely still be attributed to ’Your Highness’s own incompetence’.”

Carlson was silent, his gaze passing through the window lattice, looking into the depths of the courtyard. The cold face of his father appeared in his mind.

A moment later, he spoke slowly, his tone as firm as iron.

”I will not give up—no matter what obstacles they set.”

[Live stream has started]

- ”Hello Brother Hao” × 999

The ninth day of broadcasting.

Looking at the soaring number of viewers in the live stream, Fu Hao greeted them with his usual smile:

”Hello everyone, today is my first mission, I’m a little nervous.”

[”DoReMi” tipped 50 yuan — (What is the mission?)]

”Ah, I mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I guess many new viewers don’t know yet, let me show the mission content again.”

Fu Hao opened the mission interface, and the system window appeared:

Difficulty: Immeasurable

First Prince Carlson of the Rowen Kingdom requests that you train 100 direct soldiers within three months. These soldiers will engage in a phantom simulation battle with the direct units of the Second Prince and Third Prince. Only by winning can Carlson be crowned Crown Prince.

[Completion Conditions]

Achieve the best results in the simulation battle

[Mission Rewards]

Baron title and Baron territory

First Prince’s favorability increased to [Friendly]

Title [Royal Benefactor]

Title [Master Talent Cultivator]

[Failure Penalty]

First Prince’s favorability drops to [Hostile]

- ”The rewards look really tempting!”

- ”This is the first mission? The difficulty is too perverted, right?”

- ”How did you get this mission?”

[”New New” tipped 50 yuan — (Can you complete it? This kind of reward indicates top-tier difficulty)]

- ”The penalty is too harsh...”

- ”’Immeasurable’ is the first time I’ve seen it”

- ”Change the mission, don’t waste time”

”I think it can be done, but I didn’t expect so many viewers to be pessimistic.”

- ”This looks really hard”

- ”It’s not something that can be solved by luck or spending money, right?”

Seeing that the opposition was stronger than expected, Fu Hao pulled out his trump card—

”How about this—if this mission fails, I will send out ten thousand red envelopes to everyone.”

- ”???”

- ”Are you crazy!”

[”Wind Song” tipped 50 yuan — (It wouldn’t be 0.1 yuan per red envelope, would it?)]

”No, each red envelope is 188 yuan, I keep my word.”

- ”Ten thousand red envelopes is... 1.8 million!?”

- ”Brother Hao is crazy”

- ”Red envelope rain from the sky, an epic moment in live streaming”

- ”Given Fu Hao’s daily spending, 1.8 million is just pocket change, right?”

”Let’s assume everyone agrees, the mission officially begins.”

- ”Is the first failure coming?”

- ”Fu Hao should also taste the bitterness of defeat”

- ”Thanks to the boss for the red envelopes in advance”

- ”Ten thousand isn’t enough to go around ㅠ.ㅠ”

At this moment, Fu Hao actually had no intention of really taking out 1.8 million in cash to support the audience.

”Ah, the Prince is out.”

He stood in the courtyard of the First Prince’s palace, saw Carlson walk out of the palace, immediately put on a professional smile, and walked up quickly:

”Hello, First Prince, have you been well lately?”

He was humble and respectful, looking just like a salesman peddling goods in the palace.

[”Jin Hao” tipped 50 yuan — (A rich man in reality, a commoner in the game)]

- ”Behave yourself in front of the royals”

- ”Even if Pegasus came, he would have to bow in front of the royals”

The moment Fu Hao greeted him, Carlson, who was already irritable, had an even more complicated expression.

”You’re here? What was your name again?”

”Fu Hao.”

”Right, Mr. Fu Hao. I’m sorry... for getting you involved in this trouble.”

”Hm?”

”I thought I could easily recruit one hundred people, but I didn’t expect—Mian and Kane actually used threats and bribery to completely block my candidates.”

”Mian and Kane?...”

[”Kimchi” tipped 50 yuan — (It’s the Second Prince and Third Prince!)]

Fu Hao, who learned more background through tips, gradually clarified the context in his mind.

”No wonder this trial feels wrong no matter how you look at it—Carlson is isolated, while the Second Prince and Third Prince are in their element.”

Although surprised in his heart, he quickly regained his composure. The mission difficulty was marked as ”Immeasurable,” and it really lived up to its name.

”How many people has Your Highness recruited so far?”

He still held hope in his heart; if he could recruit more than thirty people, he could still give it a try.

”One.”

He was stunned, thinking he had misheard, and blurted out: ”How many?”

”...One.”

The live stream exploded instantly:

- ”F*cked up”

[”Jin Hao” tipped 50 yuan — (Thanks for the red envelope, boss)]

- ”Eating fried chicken tonight hahahaha”

Noticing Fu Hao’s shock, Carlson said apologetically:

”I wanted to report their unfair means to my father, but to be honest... there is little hope. If you want to give up now, I won’t blame you.”

At this time, a system prompt box appeared:

[Do you want to abandon the ”Assist the First Prince in being crowned Crown Prince” mission? There is no penalty for abandoning it now.]

- ”It’s over, it’s over”

- ”There’s still a chance to go back on it”

But what really pained Fu Hao was not the red envelopes, but the opportunity to lose the territory. Especially this kind of territory bestowed by the future King, symbolizing honor, was a status that could not be bought with money.

The mocking faces of the Five Great Guilds leaders appeared in his mind:

”Just that crappy territory of yours? Understand the rules first.”

Fu Hao took a deep breath and clenched his fist suddenly.

”I will continue to assist. No, please allow me to assist to the end.”

Carlson was stunned: ”...Are you serious? My situation has completely collapsed.”

”I am serious.”

Carlson stared at him for a moment, then nodded slightly: ”I understand. From today on, I will treat you as a close friend.”

The system prompt popped up again:

[First Prince’s favorability increased to ”Friendly”]

[Mission Updated]

Difficulty: Immeasurable

[Updated Goal]

Recruit an additional 99 direct soldiers for the First Prince

And achieve the best results in the simulation battle

[Rewards]

[Failure Penalty]

First Prince’s favorability drops to ”Neutral”

Exiled from Rowen Kingdom

”Viscount...?”

- ”Wow! Promoted!”

Fu Hao, who confirmed the new content, heard Carlson ask:

”Do you think you can still recruit people?”

After a brief distraction, Fu Hao showed a cunning smile:

”Since they used bribery, then I will use ’counter-bribery’.”
