“Congratulations, host, you have successfully married Zhou Miao Tong!”
“Marry a wife and take concubines, the Multi-Child and Multi-Fortune System is successfully bound!”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained the initial task reward for system binding: Enhanced Personal Charm!”
“Enhanced Personal Charm can enhance the host's personal charm and temperament, increase attractiveness by 100%, gain favorability, enhance friendship abilities, and naturally make the other party feel convinced and trust, even loyalty!”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Spring-Meeting Pill!”
“Spring-Meeting Pill, after consumption, it can cure serious illnesses and make the user's body rejuvenated, like a withered tree meeting spring!”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained the ability to walk on walls!”
Hearing the system's series of prompts, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
He didn't expect that after he married Zhou Miao Tong, the system would give him another series of generous rewards!
The Spring-Meeting Pill could save lives and cure diseases, like a withered tree meeting spring.
And with this ability to walk on walls, traversing walls and roofs would be effortless, a truly essential skill for traveling, living at home, or even killing someone!
As the series of prompts ended, a surge of electricity instantly passed through Chen Ran's body.
In a short moment, he seemed to have undergone a great change.
He seemed to possess a peculiar temperament, a special charm, as if he had a power that could instantly make people trust or admire him!
And indeed, two more items appeared in Chen Ran's system space.
A bright red pill and an ancient-looking bound book.
Chen Ran first focused his attention on the bound book.
As his consciousness focused, the bound book instantly turned into a stream of light and flew into Chen Ran's mind.
Instantly, a surge of electricity passed through his entire body along with the stream of light.
In just a few seconds, the light-footed skill of walking on walls was imprinted on his mind and muscle memory.
At the same time, his body was transformed once again.
His muscles became tighter and stronger, with incredible explosive power, and he became agile like a swallow, able to leap over a distance of several meters with each jump!
Chen Ran shifted his gaze from his body to the window.
If Chen Ran just wanted to go with the flow in the Jinyiwei, and eventually become a wealthy man, then he could just marry wives and concubines to get some silver rewards, and he would have no worries for the rest of his life!
Moreover, even if Chen Ran wanted to be a peaceful and rich man, the turbulent times at the end of the Ming Dynasty would probably not allow it!
The Jinyiwei was the emperor's hounds!
It wouldn't be long before Zhao Jing Zhong and his ilk would make Chen Ran and the others do their dirty work against Wei Zhong Xian!
At that time, everyone would be caught up in this chaotic situation, and no one could escape!
Since he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty with the memories of a modern person, he had to do something to justify his status as a time traveler!
The Ming Dynasty at this time was like a crumbling building, on the verge of collapse!
Chongzhen had just ascended the throne, and within the court, there were still eunuchs who had not been eliminated, rebellions were rampant, and outside the borders, barbarian tribes were watching with covetous eyes, and Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded the coast!
The Ming Dynasty's princes and nobles owned the most land, but they didn't pay a single penny in taxes. All the financial pressure was placed on the already impoverished people.
Disasters and famines broke out in various parts of the country, making it even harder for the already overburdened people to survive!
Rebellions broke out, white bones lay bare in the fields, and for hundreds of miles there were no chickens crowing!
Officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty were fat and lazy, but they refused to donate a single penny to the court, so much so that when Chongzhen wanted to suppress the rebellions and defend against foreign enemies, the treasury was empty!
The Ming Dynasty was rotten to the core, beyond saving!
According to Chen Ran's memory of history, within a few years, the rebels would sweep across the entire Ming Dynasty like wildfire, and the Jurchen in the north would enter the Great Wall, their army marching all the way to the capital!
The rebels would become more and more numerous, until they captured the capital.
Wu Sangui, because his father was captured and his beloved concubine Chen Yuan Yuan was seized by a general of Li Zicheng's forces, angrily defected to the Jurchen.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty collapsed, the land of China fell, and everyone was under the iron hooves of foreign invaders!
Massacres, killings, ransacking, and looting…
Then, China entered a dark period that lasted for three hundred years!
All the people became slaves,
Civilization and technology almost completely stopped or even regressed!
When the Westerners attacked the capital, many of the Ming Dynasty firearms stored in the capital's military camps were actually better than the firearms of that time!
Many of the cannons used to defend the city were actually red-clothed cannons from the late Ming Dynasty!
Since he had traveled from the future to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he should do something!
Save this land as a time traveler!
Otherwise, why even time travel?
Thinking of this, Chen Ran's eyes became fiery, like two brilliant stars in the night.
He gradually had ideas and plans in his mind.
Swordsmanship or light-footed skills.
Those were just martial arts for self-defense!
To save this world, he must have his own strength.
But whether it was raising troops or fighting wars, it required a vast amount of money!
The 10,000 taels given by the system was a fortune to an individual, but in the grand scheme of saving the world, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket!
Chen Ran naturally couldn't pin all his hopes on the system's rewards, after all, the system's rewards were random.
According to the development of the situation, Wei Zhong Xian would soon leave the capital.
Emperor Chongzhen and Zhao Jing Zhong, the grand administrator, would soon prepare to eliminate Wei Zhong Xian!
And Wei Zhong Xian had embezzled half of the national treasury, accumulating an immeasurable fortune.
Such wealth could be used by Chen Ran!
But before he could obtain all of Wei Zhong Xian's wealth, he had to have his own loyal subordinates.
One hundred percent loyal!
This was the foundation for him to take his first step in this chaotic world!
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained the initial rewards for system binding!”
As Chen Ran was thinking, the system prompt sounded again:
“Please host diligently cultivate and soon obtain offspring, and obtain the reward of Multi-Child and Multi-Fortune!”
Hearing the system's prompt, Chen Ran couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zhou Miao Tong, who was sleeping soundly after working hard for so long.
Her body was too weak!
In order to make women thinner and more delicate to conform to the ideal of willow-like fragility in the eyes of scholars, officials, and dignitaries, the brothel would restrict their diet.
Such a body, wanting to conceive a child in a short time, was a bit difficult.
However, after marrying Chen Ran, he would naturally no longer restrict her diet, but instead would let her eat a more nutritious diet.
He believed that her body would soon become healthier!
Whether a field has a good harvest, it depends not only on whether the land is fertile but also on whether the ox plowing the field is diligent.
As long as there's enough effort, even the poorest land can produce crops!
