First Episode: Acquiring Abnormal Abilities in Three Kingdoms Data...
The world's great trend is that after a long period of division, there must be unity, and after a long period of unity, there must be division. At the end of Qin, the world was in great chaos, with two heroes competing for control of the Central Plains. Han Gaozu Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu to gain control of the world. The Han dynasty continued until Emperor Ping, when Wang Mang usurped power and changed the country's name to "Xin". Sixteen years later, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu restored the Han dynasty, known as the Eastern Han. Until Emperors Huan and Ling, eunuchs held absolute power, with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Jue, Du Qiao, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Yu, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng forming a clique of ten, known as the "Ten Regular Attendants". Emperor Ling trusted and respected Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, calling Zhang Rang "Ah Fu" and referring to Zhao Zhong as his mother. With the emperor acting so absurdly, the court's politics became increasingly chaotic, leading to people's hearts becoming disordered and thieves and bandits rising up everywhere.
The three brothers of Julu County were Zhang Jiao, the eldest brother, Zhang Bao, the second brother, and Zhang Liang, the third brother. Zhang Jiao was originally a scholar who had failed to pass the imperial examination, but he entered the mountains to gather medicinal herbs and met an old man with piercing eyes and a youthful complexion, holding a staff made of hawthorn wood, who called him into a cave and gave him three volumes of scriptures, saying: "This is called 'The Essential Teachings of Peace', you have obtained it, when you replace Heaven to proclaim its will, universally saving the people; if you harbor different intentions, you will certainly receive evil retribution."
Zhang Jiao asked for his name. The old man said: "I am the Old Immortal of South China." After finishing speaking, he transformed into a gust of clear wind and left.
It can be seen that Nanhuai Laoxian's transmission of the "Taiping Jing" to Zhang Jue was entirely out of good intentions, and it is unwise for later generations to attribute the beginning of the Three Kingdoms' chaos to Laoxian. In the end, Zhang Jue died of illness in the army, which also fulfilled Nanhuai Laoxian's words "If you harbor different intentions, you will surely receive evil retribution."
Zhang Jue obtained this strange book, day and night he studied it, and was able to summon the wind and rain, known as "Taiping Daoist". In the first year of Zhongping, January, a plague spread, Zhang Jue scattered talismans and water, treating people's illnesses, calling himself "Great Virtuous Teacher".
"Great Teacher" Zhang Jue traveled extensively, recruiting countless disciples. He established thirty-six divisions, with the larger ones having over 10,000 members and the smaller ones having around 6-7,000 members. Each division had its own leader, who was referred to as a general. They proclaimed: "The Blue Heaven has died, and the Yellow Heaven will rise; it is the year of Jiazi, and great fortune will come to all under heaven." They ordered their followers to write the characters for "Jiazi" in white clay on the gates of their homes.
People from the eight states of Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan and Yu all served the great and virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao sent his subordinate Ma Yuanyi to secretly prepare gold, silver, silk and cloth, and to form an alliance with eunuch Feng Xu, as a means of internal response.
Zhang Jue and his two younger brothers, Zhang Bao, discussed: "The most difficult thing to obtain in the world is the hearts of the people. Now that the hearts of the people are with me, if we do not take advantage of this opportunity to seize control of the world, it would be a great pity." Thus, on the one hand, they secretly manufactured yellow flags and set a date for the uprising; on the other hand, they sent their disciple Tang Zhou to carry letters to report to Feng Xu.
It turned out that Tang Zhou reported Zhang Jiao's rebellion to the government. The emperor was shocked and summoned General-in-Chief He Jin to deploy troops to capture Ma Yuan and execute him. Also, Feng Xu and others were arrested and thrown into prison.
Zhang Jiao, upon learning that the matter had been exposed, immediately raised an army and started a rebellion, proclaiming himself "Heavenly General", Zhang Bao as "Earthly General" and Zhang Liang as "Human General". He told the crowd: "The Han dynasty is about to end, a great sage has appeared. You should all follow heaven's will and join me, so that you can enjoy peace and prosperity."
The people of the four directions, with yellow turbans on their heads and rebels created by Zhang Jue, number forty to fifty million. The momentum is vast, and the government army flees at the sight of them.
He Jin reported to Emperor Ling, who quickly issued an edict ordering the various regions to prepare defenses and to capture the bandits. He also dispatched the Central Lang General Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Yan, each leading elite troops on three separate routes to attack the bandits.
Now, Zhang Jue's army came to invade the borders of Youzhou. The governor of Youzhou, Liu Yan, was a native of Jiangxia and a descendant of Han Emperor Ping's son, King Gong of Lu. At that time, when he heard that the enemy troops were approaching, he summoned Colonel Zou Jing to discuss countermeasures. Zou Jing said: "The enemy is numerous, our army is small, Your Excellency should recruit soldiers on horseback to welcome the enemy." Liu Yan gladly agreed and immediately posted a notice to recruit righteous soldiers. This brought out many heroes...
Nan Yan slowly regained consciousness, his first thought was "I'm not dead yet!". With this realization, he felt a great joy in his heart and quickly scrambled to his feet.
"Great misfortune will not kill you, there must be good fortune afterwards. The probability of being struck by lightning is already low enough, and the probability of being struck but not dying is even lower. It seems that I should go buy lottery tickets today." Nan Yan thought to himself as he looked up at the sky, where the swirling clouds had disappeared, and the sunny weather was almost too good to be true.
"Huh? Where's my phone?" Nan Yan clearly remembered that he was taking a photo when he was struck by lightning, but now his phone was no longer in his hand. Had it been thrown out when he fainted?
Nan Yan thought about it and lowered his head to look, but as soon as he did, he was stunned. He was clearly riding on the asphalt road, so how did the road turn into a dirt road now? Moreover, the road had also narrowed, and the roadside was full of weeds, just like a small country road. If it weren't for the bicycle still lying on the ground, Nan Yan would have thought he had been struck by lightning and transported to another time and place.
"Could it be a robbery?" Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat as he quickly reached for his wallet.
"My god! It's really gone!" Not only was the wallet gone, but also the keychain with a U-disk and even the newly bought game controller were all gone.
"This killer is really going to die a terrible death! You've searched through my things, why do you still need to throw me into such a desolate place? Don't you get tired from carrying me here, I'm exhausted just walking out!" Nan Yan barely made out the mountain terrain and found himself still in the upper reaches of the mountain, with the main peak's Heavenly Pillar clearly visible.
Nan Yan had gone up the mountain several times, but he couldn't tell where he was. Fortunately, the bandit still had some humanity and left him a bicycle, otherwise he would have starved to death in the mountains.
"This thief is a bit interesting, they stole the handlebars but left the bicycle. Is it that this 70% new bike isn't good enough for him, or is he afraid I'll starve to death and leaving me a way out? Whatever the case, riding the bike along the road will surely lead to meeting people, asking around will be fine." After the initial panic, Nan Yan finally calmed down and bent over to pick up the bicycle.
Just as Nan Yan's hand touched the steering wheel, a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him stunned.

"Mount discovered: Bicycle. Activate card skill?" a voice in his mind asked.
"I'm going! What's all this? Did I get superpowers after being struck by lightning? What are these messy numbers? And what's this 'Card Fusion' skill?" Nan Yan was stunned by the flood of information in his mind, but come to think of it, this information looked a bit familiar. It seemed like the character info from some Three Kingdoms game... But which Three Kingdoms game had a 'Card Fusion' skill?
"Transform!" With his newfound powers, Nan Yan thought it was a waste not to use them. As soon as he had this thought, the bicycle suddenly disappeared and a card the size of a bank card appeared in his hand. The card was neither metal nor plastic, but seemed to be made of jade, with a slight elasticity to it. On its surface was clearly printed an image of a bicycle - the very one he had been riding.
"This is awesome! Such a powerful skill! Now I can get rich." Nan Yan thought that if he used this superpower to smuggle cars, he would be unbeatable.
"Found Mount Card. Storage? Release Transformation Skill?" Another information prompt appeared in his mind.
"Store!" Nan Yun naturally knew the meaning of removing the card, but what skill was this "store" thing? When he confirmed the storage, the mount card in his hand instantly disappeared, and a scene of a wallet appeared in his mind. The bicycle mount card had transformed into a wallet. Immediately after that, a string of prompts appeared:
Weapon: None
Armor: None
Mount: Bicycle
Treasure: Konton Handle
"It's really cool! Awesome!" Nan Yan was overjoyed, and it turned out that his wallet and bank card hadn't been lost, but had instead run into his brain and transformed into superpowers. This was truly amazing. Could it be that the lightning bolt that struck him was actually a divine thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens?
"Mount card! Cancel transformation!" Nan Yan was afraid he was dreaming, so he reached out and summoned the mount card again, canceling its transformation skill. The bicycle reappeared before his eyes, intact and undamaged.
"Awesome! Cool to the point of death! Can't be described in words! With this skill, I won't have to worry about being rejected by Xiaoying if I confess again." Nan Yan was just an ordinary high school graduate. Even with superpowers, he didn't fantasize about saving the world. He thought more about how to use his powers to make money and pick up chicks.
"It seems like there are other skills too, I wonder if there's a more handsome one?" Nan Yan thought of this and started experimenting.
