Isn’t the first checkpoint set by Great Qin too easy?

A thought flashed across Zhou Shu’s mind, but he immediately denied it.

The first checkpoint seemed simple. It was merely to select some forging materials.

But on further thought, it was not simple at all!

The number of materials he chose would directly affect the following eight checkpoints!

The rules of Great Qin stated that only nine people could go through the trial. This meant that the materials they could carry were limited.

With limited forging materials, and not knowing what the following eight checkpoints encompassed, how many forging materials would he have to bring? How would he match each material?

Theoretically speaking, the higher one’s cultivation was, the greater their strength would be and the more items they could carry.

In order to bring more forging materials, apart from the Forging Masters, the rest would have to be martial artists with high cultivation.

Although Forging Masters were also martial artists, and their cultivation might not be low, there were not many Forging Masters with extremely high cultivation and extremely strong forging techniques in any country.

This was a matter of teamwork.

In short, although the first checkpoint seemed simple, it was actually very difficult. If he handled it well, he would get twice the results with half the effort. If he didn’t handle it well, things might get tough later.

Since Zhou Shu had thought of this, Meng Bai, who was proficient in the art of war, naturally thought of it as well.

Great Qin was well versed in the art of war.

“Deputy Envoy Shi, did Great Qin prohibit us from carrying weapons?” Zhou Shu asked.

“No. There are no other rules for the other members of the diplomatic mission. Those going through the trial can only bring one weapon each to protect themselves,” Shi Songtao replied. He had also been thinking of strategies. If there were nine people, he would definitely have to join them. He, Shi Songtao, had come to Great Qin to gain merits. How could he sit aside and watch?

He, Zhou Shu, and the other deputy envoy, Lu Wenshuang, would already take up three spots.

He didn’t know how the following checkpoints were set up, so they would definitely need a few more Forging Masters…

“Great General, what do you think we should do?” Zhou Shu shamelessly asked Meng Bai.

Arranging soldiers was Meng Bai’s expertise. When it came to professional matters, he naturally had to ask the professionals.

Zhou Shu was confident in himself, but he didn’t know what checkpoints Great Qin had set up. Even if he used his toes to think, he knew that it definitely wouldn’t just be forging.

Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid of forging. In fact, he was even willing to teach Great Qin. But if there were other things, he might not be able to settle them himself.

According to Zhou Shu’s character, he should have directly led the team to Great Qin to wait. As for going through the trial?

Wasn’t there still a diligent fellow like Shi Songtao?

But this would seem like bullying.

As the official envoy, how could he not do anything? Therefore, Zhou Shu still decided to play with them. Isn’t it just challenging the trial? It’s no big deal.

Meng Bai pondered. “Wait first. let me think about it.”

The diplomatic missions from the various countries had yet to take action. This meant that everyone realized that although the first checkpoint seemed simple, it was actually very troublesome. Therefore, they were still considering it.

Great Liang had even sent people back to seek help.

In other countries, there were probably many people who had such thoughts.

Zhou Shu nodded. He was just about to get off the carriage when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and returned to the carriage. He reached out and pulled down the curtain.

Outside, Shi Songtao’s face darkened.

Who is he guarding against?

There’s no one around!

No, I seem to be the only outsider…

Inside the carriage, Zhou Shu’s expression was very serious.

“Great General, keep this well,” Zhou Shu said solemnly as he took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from who knew where and handed it to Meng Bai.

“This is?” Meng Bai said with some surprise.

The Zhou Shu he knew didn’t seem like someone who would give gifts to others.

Furthermore, he had already retired. There wasn’t much value in giving him gifts.

“Great General, no matter how the team is formed, I will definitely be among them,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “When the time comes, we will definitely split up into two groups. As for the diplomatic mission, I’ll leave it to you to take care of it.

“Great General, don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to bribe you. Keep this with you. If you really end up in a dead-end, it might be useful.”

Zhou Shu didn’t know if the Breakthrough Pill would be useful to Meng Bai, but he might be able to make a Hail Mary effort.

Zhou Shu originally didn’t plan on giving it to Meng Bai at this time.

But when he saw Shen Yue, he felt a sense of danger.

In addition to how Great Qin had planned the trial, there might be trouble in between.

If his strength was exposed and he didn’t want to cause too much trouble, he might not be able to return to Great Xia.

After all, he had lived in Great Xia for so long. This Breakthrough Pill could be considered a little bit of contribution. If he really couldn’t make it back, it would be considered a farewell gift.

Meng Bai frowned slightly. After thinking for a bit, he nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll keep it first. When we meet up in Great Qin’s capital, I’ll return it to you.”

He put away the porcelain bottle without opening it to take a look.

Only then did Zhou Shu get off the carriage.

“Deputy Envoy Shi, bring everyone and set up camp first,” Zhou Shu said casually.

“Marquis, where are you going?” Shi Songtao hurriedly asked when he saw Zhou Shu staggering away from the diplomatic mission.

“Me? I’m going to find out more.”
