Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#506 - Dragon Group

After the lottery draw ended, Liang Yue couldn't wait to start familiarizing himself with the contents of this Gun-Kata.

Similar to the Soaring Dragon Palm from before, Gun-Kata, as a skill, manifested on him, passively granting him benefits and corresponding buff bonuses.

But the real essence lay in the knowledge and information stream that came with the skill.

Therefore, to fully master this skill, he would inevitably have to spend a lot of time and energy.

Fortunately, the duration of this trial was as long as thirty years.

Moreover, the era he was in was one of turmoil and war, giving Liang Yue plenty of room to achieve this goal!

Thanks to several gun-related skills he had acquired in previous All Heavens trials, such as Advanced Marksmanship, Ricochet, and Gun Modification.

Liang Yue had some experience in using modern weapons like guns.

Therefore, facing the knowledge and skills that came with Gun-Kata, he quickly completed the connection between the two and tried to rehearse the skill in his mind.

Unknowingly, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sunset had fallen, and the sky gradually darkened. Yet, Liang Yue was still immersed in the sea of knowledge in his mind, unable to extricate himself.

Until a familiar "beep beep" sound interrupted his meditation, pulling him out of his original state.

Subconsciously, he summoned the system screen. A glance revealed it was a video communication request from Teacher Jingxiang...

Subsequently, Liang Yue didn't think much about it.

He directly ordered the system to arrange appropriate identities and backgrounds for the women, and then opened the space channel to let them come over.

Similar to his situation, when he went through the All Heavens trials with him, the system would arrange identities for Liang Yue's villagers for free.

If he was not satisfied, he could also spend points to modify them.

However, the current All Heavens trial world was unlikely to become Liang Yue and the women's permanent residence, like the public world.

Therefore, identities were just shells unless they involved abnormal powers such as bloodlines. Their significance was not great.

In just one afternoon, Liang Yue had already solved the housing and activity funding problems for his family...

Only a few seconds after the order was issued, a flash of light suddenly appeared under the eaves beside Liang Yue, opening a space channel.

The next moment, figures who had only been separated from him for a short time walked out impatiently.

Judging from their appearance and attire, the system's arrangement this time was reliable.

At this time, the women were all wearing Taoist robes, and their identities were naturally self-evident: they were all Taoists.

After a brief exchange, Liang Yue learned that not only their identities and backgrounds, but also their specific affiliations were all female cultivators under his leadership as the Abbot...

A moment later, a lava stove was placed in the courtyard, and the originally dark courtyard finally had light.

Everyone sat together, and under Liang Yue's introduction, began to learn about the specific information of this All Heavens world.

… …

"Ah ~ Is this place still in the World War I period?"

"1915, Europe is indeed at war, but this is a rare period of recuperation for our Eastern world."

"I heard that although China has developed to some extent during this period, it is actually not peaceful."

"The warlords are divided, the North and the South are opposed, some people want to become emperors, some people want republic, and the Japanese are also accumulating strength."

"If I remember correctly, that President will proclaim himself emperor at the end of this year, but he will soon be driven off the stage, and then there will be a warlord melee, and the situation in China will be even more chaotic."

"As for Japan, it will probably launch a war in another twenty years, right?"

"That's just the war on the surface. The infiltration behavior in the dark has never stopped."

"Yes, at this stage, Japan has already begun large-scale immigration to Korea and Northeast China, and small-scale troops have begun to be stationed everywhere."

"The plunder of economy and resources is the focus ~"

"So, Liang Yue, what are you going to do?"

"First get rid of some traitors and collaborators, eliminate some Japanese lackeys and troops on a small scale, and try to participate less in domestic political activities."

"Eh? Is that all?"

"I thought Liang Yue would directly rush to the Japanese mainland and massacre them."

"I'll go sooner or later, but there's no need for it yet. At this stage, China is undergoing a national ideological transformation and awakening, which is crucial for future development.

A slightly worse external environment is conducive to the unity of the people. I don't intend to artificially destroy this process."

"But in this way, many people may die."

"... I know, but there's no way. The rebound of national fortune requires such a process."

"Then ~ will Chunqiu focus its business on Europe next?"

"No, I plan to travel around the world and experience more people and things."

"What about the system tasks? Didn't Chunqiu say that the plot points at this stage will gather on a demigod named Diana?"

"This is the more strange part of this trial. The system has not issued any tasks about her ~"

"Then what are your tasks this time?"

"There are two. One is about cultivation, which I need to complete myself. The second task is a bit abstract, requiring me to protect China.

I think the focus of this task should be to ensure the healthy and stable development of the domestic political situation, but the historical trend will almost certainly be civil strife.

Fortunately, this task has a buffer period of thirty years, so we can take our time."

"Then Liang Yue, do you have any short-term plans? Anything we can help with."

"Hmm... I just drew a skill called "Gun-Kata". Now I'll share it with you, and then use it to branch out and organize a force."

"Gun-Kata! ?"

"Do you mean we're going to form a sect again?"

"Something like that, but the organization should be more rigorous, including the selection and apprenticeship standards, the division of teaching levels, and the rules and regulations for eliminating spies and infiltrators.

In general, we need to create a sufficiently resilient elite combat unit that can carry out decapitation operations against the enemy. In addition to Gun-Kata, we can also teach some other things.

For example, internal energy cultivation methods, national arts, and even ancient martial arts."

"Isn't this just building a special agent organization?"

"You could say that ~"

"Then what do you plan to name this organization?"

"Name ~ let's call it Dragon Group..."
