The first chapter of the first volume: The Zhou family has a son named Hu Chen

  Wedge

  It's now 3 am. Lin Jue has been insisting in the internet cafe for more than 20 hours, victory after victory made him sleepless, the rhythm of rising scores beats his heartstrings.

  Inside the internet cafe, there was only Lin Jue and the internet manager sleeping on the table. It was so quiet that you could only hear the game music coming from the headphones. Another round had just ended, and looking at the "Victory" displayed on the screen, he was about to click confirm. Suddenly, a dark blue light flashed across one corner of the screen, and the card master who was originally mocking his opponent and dancing with joy appeared in the center of the screen, magnified countless times.

  Then, looking at his favorite hero, he pressed the brim of his hat and said in a magnetic voice: "As the winner, are you willing to accept a journey through time?"

  Lin Jue thought it was his own eyes playing tricks on him, so he rubbed his slightly dry eyes and looked again.

  Gently patted his own face, then looked over.

  He hastily pressed the restart button on the computer host, but there was no response. The screen still showed Custer's prank.

  Below appeared two simple English words: YES OR NO.

  Lin Jue laughed and suddenly thought: "This is a virus!"

  Anyway, the repeated victories have made him somewhat unenthusiastic. He thought to himself: "It doesn't matter if the computer is infected, this pathetic internet cafe is weak! It's actually possible for it to be infected! Anyway, the computer isn't mine, I'll just play along with you on behalf of being a card master!"

  Thinking of this, Lin Jue controlled the mouse and fiercely clicked YES!

  "Which do you prefer," Crist said again on the screen, "the Western world full of unknowns or the classical Eastern world?"

  Then came another line of words, two options, similar to QQ music's subtitles, but this time in Chinese. Lin Jue did not hesitate and directly chose the East.

  That voice sounded again in my ear, and a row of words appeared on the screen once more: Prehistoric, Legendary, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Three Kingdoms, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, Modern.

  It's impossible to drink blood and shave hair, the Han Dynasty is too far away; The Three Kingdoms are not bad, that's the era when heroes emerged, but Lin Jue's martial arts skills aren't so confident, does he have any martial arts skills? If he encounters Lü Bu or Ma Chao, he'll get killed, and it won't be a pretty sight, so it's better to just live a good life! The Northern and Southern Dynasties are not well understood, so let's forget about that; The Tang Dynasty is not bad, an open era, great for flirting with girls! However, there are too many people who have traveled back in time, Lin Jue doesn't want to collide with others; The Song Dynasty is too weak, give up; The Yuan Dynasty, a barbaric era ruled by a grassland person, can't go there; The Qing Dynasty, this one can be considered, but thinking about that disgusting braid... Modern times are too familiar, not good to make a move! So it's the Ming Dynasty after all!

  Lin Jue has always liked the Ming Dynasty and is fond of its history. If he really traveled back in time, he believes he can change many things, especially during the late Ming period, that era of fervent passion, those historical threads exist in Lin Jue's memory. That era was also very difficult, but Lin Jue is confident that he can become a heroic troublemaker, as long as he has the opportunity, he can completely change the layout of that era.

  It's great to be able to leave a mark in history! It can also change those subsequent humiliations!

  Although it's virtual, it's already good! Ming Dynasty is not bad!

  When Lin Jue was about to click on the "ming" character, he suddenly stopped. Since he had traveled through time and still had doubts, a line of text appeared on the screen, typed out by Lin Jue.

  "Shouldn't you have some special skills for this kind of journey?!"

  "You can choose to have 'Flag of Command'," replied Crichton quickly. Then YSE OR NO appeared again.

  "Commander's flag! Can it summon a hundred responses? Does it have any special functions?"

  "Enhancing appeal is its sole function."

  The appeal is good, what the Ming Dynasty needs most is the appeal! Didn't Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rely on their appeal? Without appeal, you will die miserably! Having appeal is equivalent to having the spirit of a king or a hegemon! I am a genuine university student! Lin Jue's self-confidence is much better than that of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

  Without hesitation, Lin Jue clicked the "YES" button fiercely.

  The computer screen suddenly went black, and in an instant, a blue arc of light shot out of the screen and struck Lin Jue.

  The next afternoon, many TV screens began to broadcast a sad piece of news:

  According to a reliable source, our reporter has learned that early this morning, in a certain city's internet cafe, a junior student majoring in light industry machinery fainted after being engrossed in online gaming for 24 hours. The student is currently undergoing emergency treatment at a local hospital. According to follow-up information obtained by our reporter at the hospital, due to prolonged lack of oxygen to the brain, this 22-year-old surnamed Lin may possibly become a vegetable! Here, we call on...

  Chapter 1: The Zhou family had a son named Houchen

  Lin Jue was dizzy and confused, as if he was still a bit dizzy, his mind was churning like a stormy sea.

  It's as if there was a thought in his mind competing with him, making his brain a mess.

  After a long time, he didn't know how long it took, Lin Jue successfully defeated that thought and suppressed it deep in his mind. He slowly opened his eyes.

  "Quickly, someone come! Young master is awake! Young master is awake!"

  This was a woman's scream, and judging from the sound, it should be a very young woman. Lin Jue wanted to turn his head to take a look, but this brain simply didn't listen to orders, he couldn't move, all he saw was a canopy, an intricately carved bed top with many hollowed-out patterns, and in the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bed curtain with beautiful Jing patterns.

  The sound of footsteps came in a flurry and then a middle-aged woman appeared before Lin's eyes.

  Not exactly beautiful, but very majestic-looking woman, this face has some angular features, a straight nose bridge, a pair of sharp and bright eyes, giving people a strong sense of presence.

  What surprised Lin Jue the most was that such a woman's headdress and clothing, although it was just a simple hairstyle with not many accessories, were absolutely something Lin Jue had never seen before. And those clothes seemed to be only seen on TV!

  "Xiao Hu! Xiao Hu, you're awake!" The woman's face was filled with joy, her expression overflowing with a special kind of surprise, which was clearly a manifestation of maternal love.

  The woman sat on the edge of the bed, then grabbed Lin Jue's hand, and tears appeared in her eyes: "Little Tiger, you scared me to death! Now it's okay, you can wake up!"

  There was a warm feeling in his hands, but he had no strength. Lin Jue felt that something was wrong. Had he really crossed over? This bed, this person, seemed to be all wrong!

  "Mother!" The suppressed memory awakened.

  He really crossed over! This person is his mother! Lin Jue found that the memory had merged with him. The person in this memory was called Zhou Huchen, styled Binghan, 15 years old this year, and had just gotten a style name. The woman in front of him was indeed his mother Liu Shi. Oh... And there's also a famous father known throughout the land, it seems that being a hero who crossed over from League of Legends is not undeserved, as he arranged for an extremely famous hero, an extraordinary figure; Deputy General Zhou Yuji of the Capital Garrison.

  It is now the 14th year of Chongzhen, autumn of 1641. In Lin's memory, his cheap father Zhou Yuji will soon be appointed as the Taizi Shaobao, Left Dudo and Shanxi General. However, his ending doesn't seem to be very good.

  Due to vomiting and diarrhea, coupled with high fever, Zhou Huchen has been in a coma for half a month. And Zhou Huchen seems not to be a good citizen, but actually the tyrant of the capital, who likes to provoke people.

  He is the ancestor of trouble and fighting. Above Zhou Huchen, in addition to his parents, there was also a grandmother, Wang Shi, who was extremely doting and protective of him. There was also a six-year-old younger brother, nicknamed Er Hu.

  "My goodness! Thank heavens you've finally woken up!"

  As a slightly hoarse voice came, Zhou Huchen's current grandmother, Wang Shi Tai Fu Ren, ran over excitedly. This old lady was from a military family like Zhou Huchen's mother, and her body was very strong and sturdy. The footsteps of her running were loud and clear, apparently not a small foot.

  A kind face with a hint of excitement appeared before his eyes, and this old woman was indeed very familiar. Zhou Huchen's lips moved, but no sound came out. It seemed that the long illness had brought serious consequences, and this body was now too weak. Hopefully, there would be no sequelae left behind; if he were to be left with a disability, it would be a tragedy.

  It's fine whether it's true or false! Anyway, that's how it is now. The current Lin Jue is Zhou Hu Chen, and Zhou Hu Chen is Lin Jue; it can't be changed. What he needs now is rest. Then... Zhou Hu Chen, who is also Lin Jue, needs to change the course of some historical events in the future years of the Great Ming Dynasty. His father, Zhou Yu Ji, cannot die meaninglessly at Ningwu Pass like in history, and his subordinates, those fierce warriors, cannot die in vain. This is what Zhou Hu Chen, who is also Lin Jue, needs to do most.

  ——————————————

  After more than half a month of recuperation, under the care of his family and Lang Zhong, Young Master Zhou, the little overlord of the capital, Zhou Huchen, was finally able to get out of bed. Fortunately, except for feeling a bit weak, this body did not leave any sequelae, seemingly thanks to Zhou Huchen being an exceptionally robust person in the past.

  The living conditions were not bad, the Zhou family had a three-entry mansion with front and back yards, and there were dozens of servants serving in the house. Especially those house guards, they were people of Young Master Zhou, these house guards were either personal soldiers of Zhou Da or people brought by Madame Liu. Moreover, all of them had a distinctive characteristic, daring to fight and kill, not fearing death at all, and followed Zhou Yuji onto the battlefield many times, naturally having an iron-blooded temperament.

  Zhou Huchen can act now, and the old lady and Zhou Huchen's mother Liu finally put down that hanging heart.

  The people at home are relieved, but Zhou Jia's young master is simply a restless person. He's been recovering for only a few days and now he's clamoring to go out and take a stroll, insisting on going out to clear his mind.

  After the old lady's repeated reminders and warnings, Mr. Zhou led a group of people out of the house in an orderly manner.

  In this era, there was no entertainment except for watching the excitement, that is, watching plays, going to tea houses to listen to music or storytelling. At this age, he seemed to have no awareness of brothels yet.

  Zhou Huchen likes Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, he likes the fighting scenes in them. After being cooped up for so long, this time Zhou Huchen subconsciously prepared to go to a teahouse to listen to storytelling.

  It was indeed very rustic, whether it was the houses or the people coming and going, Lin Jue felt very fresh, but another consciousness was urging him to hurry up and leave, listening to books was more interesting than this street.

  This teahouse is not too far from Zhou Huchen's residence. Except for the second floor, which has a clean and elegant room prepared for noble guests, the rest are quite ordinary. The first floor is even more chaotic with all sorts of people around. However, Zhou Huchen seems to never mind these things. He is a regular here, and the waiters who serve tea and water all recognize him. Seeing this overbearing figure, one of the waiters hurriedly came up to attend to him.

  "Hey, Young Master Tiger is here! I heard you've been feeling unwell lately, so I'm asking after your health!"

  Zhou Huchen nodded and said: "Old rules, still sitting in my old seat."

  "Mr. Tiger, you'd better be careful today! You haven't been here for a while, and that private room has someone in it today, so be careful! Be careful! Why don't I arrange a smaller one for you?" The waiter was somewhat fearful and apprehensive, as Young Master Zhou wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he insisted, there would be big trouble today. The person sitting in the private room that Zhou Huachen was used to wasn't a good citizen either. Once a dispute started, this teahouse would likely suffer."

  "Never mind, find me a good location, just next to that one!"

  Seeing Zhou Huchen didn't mind, the servant immediately busied himself and replied: "Alright! I'll sweep it clean for you right away, just watch!"

  A group of people slowly went up to the second floor, and by this time, two waiters had quickly cleaned up again.

  Two attendants stood in front of the familiar VIP room door, apparently not ordinary people either. Zhou Huchen didn't mind, he sauntered into the arranged VIP room, and after the waiter carefully served the fruit platter and tea, Zhou Huchen casually asked: "What's all this yammering about? Hurry up and change it for me!"

  "Today's story is 'Yu Guan Ji', Tiger Xiao, you have to wait a bit, this was ordered by the guest... The guest paid money, so it has to be told... You just have to wait for a while, just a little longer and I'll finish telling it!" The shop assistant's face turned green. This "Yu Guan Ji" was actually the piece that the person who took Zhou Hu Chen's seat ordered. If Zhou Hu Chen found out, there would definitely be trouble.

  "Wait a moment, sir! I'll let someone inform the boss and send someone to hurry him up. It will be ready immediately. You just point out which one you want and we'll get it ready for you!" The shop assistant said with his head bowed and then ran off quickly.

  I've just recovered from a serious illness, I've lived two lifetimes as a human being. Today is just about going out to clear my mind, there's no need to make an enemy of the tea house. Zhou Huachen endured it today, enduring for a moment will pass, there's no need to dwell on these things.
