Because the game "Dark Sand" deliberately re-covers the fog of history.

Sheng Taizu did not know that Gu Yuan would become the founding general of the country in the future. He gradually recognized his military talent and promoted him continuously, which finally made him a famous general.

If the names of these people are still exactly the same as in history, wouldn't the players just copy the answers?

The test of "knowing people" is completely ineffective.

Therefore, Huo Yunying's task is to expand the team and defeat the Northern Barbarian army, but also to clearly see the abilities of each person and keep the outstanding talents firmly in his mind.

The final test of the identity of a "rebel" is actually an exam.

The content of the exam is the daily performance of more than 700 people; and the standard of the exam is the player's own judgment; after the exam results come out, the system can judge whether the player's ability to recognize people is qualified, and the player is selected.

Can these selected people support the framework for conquering the world?

Twenty-four people were selected from more than 700 people. This was an extremely difficult multiple-choice question.

In history, Sheng Taizu almost passed the test with perfect scores, and now, it is the players' turn to recreate this operation.

After thinking about this, Huo Yunying took a deep breath, lay back on the bed again, and entered the game world of "Dark Sand".

Play the role of a "rebel" and start over.

There was still enough time, so this time he wanted to start from scratch and take a closer look at who among these seven hundred people could truly become the pillars.

…

At this time, Lu Heng was beginning his unknown life cycle.

As the game progresses, his identity is constantly changing, and he is constantly trying various sexy operations.

For example, he once tried to mobilize those desperate beggars to join him in uprising, but during the negotiation stage, because of a whistleblower, he was surrounded by officers and soldiers in a ruined temple, and was hacked to death without any resistance;

He also tried to spread various religions among the people at the bottom, spreading ideas such as "Heaven is dead and Huang Tian shall stand". He also tried to write a few anti-poems, but after a while, he still failed.

He was discovered by the government and then taken to the execution ground to be beheaded;

I once traveled all over the world, begging all the way, and searching for news about the rebels. As a result, I was killed by bandits who were cutting off the path. Even if I loudly said that I wanted to join the gang, the other party was completely indifferent...

In short, Lu Heng at this time was like a rookie who accidentally entered a game of chicken.

If Huo Yunying and Chu Ge can play one game in half an hour, then Lu Heng can play more than a dozen games in half an hour.

He died too quickly, and often in an unclear way.

What bothered him the most was that at this moment, he still had no idea how to pass the level.

After some analysis before, he felt that the greatest possibility was to have a certain amount of initiative.

You can't keep waiting for the rebels to find you. You have to find a way to form a rebel army yourself and forcefully enter the stage of playing a second identity.

But after trying it a few times, I found that it didn't work at all.

Therefore, Lu Heng felt as if he was back to where he started.

This hit him hard, and he was even worried that he would slow down the progress of the entire team.

What if all the other three people have cleared the level by then and he is the only one still wandering around pretending to be a beggar?

I can’t afford to lose this person!

Finally, the performance of another life begins.

Lu Heng carried out a series of standard operations he had summarized quite mechanically: in the early stage, whether it was herding cattle or farming, first find a way to survive. After finding the right time, he would go to a nearby temple to become a monk, and then travel around.

Try to get as close as possible to Sheng Taizu's life trajectory at that time...

But this time he was very disappointed that there were no temples nearby.

Finished, it seems that this performance will be sent again.

Just when Lu Heng was considering whether to just find a rock to hit him to death and start again, something unexpected happened.

After a severe drought, angry farmers captured the government office, and some people took the lead and revolted.

Someone sent an invitation to Lu Heng, hoping that he would join the rebel army.

Lu Heng thought about it before joining directly.

In fact, he didn't hold out much hope, because he had encountered this situation before, and the result was that the rebel army was quickly wiped out by the officers and soldiers who arrived. All the leaders were beheaded, and their bodies were hung on the city gate for public display.

.

But for Lu Heng, there was no hope if he continued like this anyway. Either way, he would die, so it would be better to die a happy death.

In the process of playing the role of "beggar", he experienced countless miserable lives and died too many times, and even became a little numb.

He has communicated with countless people at the bottom and knows their hardships. He also knows that there are too many government-forced rebellions and people's dire livelihood, and he also knows that ordinary people are powerless to change all this.

He wanted to raise the butcher's knife, but countless attempts ended in failure.

He thought this time would be the same as before, but he didn't expect that the moment he decided to join the rebels, his vision gradually improved.

There's a fire in the government office.

Immediately afterwards, the field of vision continued to increase, and the city, as well as the small and big cities further away, were surrounded by beacon smoke.

In Lu Heng's field of vision, a system prompt that he had never seen before also appeared.

[Clear the level as a “beggar”! 】

[Evaluation of clearance: Sometimes, the process is more important than the ending; sometimes, the general trend of the world just depends on an accident. Heroes are not the only creators of history, but they have indeed left the most profound mark in the history books.

】

Seeing the system prompt, Lu Heng was completely stunned.

I...cleared the level?

That's it?

Why did I pass the level?

He even couldn't believe this fact.

One second, he was crawling around like a dog in troubled times, begging along the streets, being chased and chopped down by officers and soldiers, and the next second, he had already cleared the level...

This copy is too nonsensical.

Even Lu Heng himself couldn't figure out how he passed the level.

Thinking back carefully, he really didn't do anything. He just accidentally encountered angry farmers burning down the government office. He rebelled in anger, and he joined in along the way.

Then it was cleared.

But the problem is, he has encountered this situation before and failed to pass the level?

Lu Heng was puzzled and had to look at the clearance evaluation again.

Then, he seemed to understand.

The evaluation of this identity’s clearance actually contains the core of the “beggar” identity trial.

"Sometimes, the process is more important than the result."

"Sometimes, the general trend of the world just depends on an accident."

"Heroes are not the only creators of history, but they do leave the most profound mark in the history books."

Why is the process more important than the result?

Because the trial of "beggar" status is not intended to allow players to achieve the specific result of "becoming a rebel".

It's about letting players realize something through the entire process.

For example, the suffering at the bottom, or the difficulty of a successful uprising.

In this process, Lu Heng has played many low-level people and experienced many completely different lives.

In real history, there were countless low-class people like Sheng Taizu. They might be shepherd boys who herded cattle, farmers who died in corvées, or beggars who were killed and took credit for their merits...

Only by understanding the difficulty of life for the people at the bottom can we understand some of the decisions Sheng Taizu made later. Only by understanding this pain can we gain the courage to change the world.

Why does the general trend of the world depend on an accident?

In fact, if you look at Sheng Taizu's experience as a beggar, you will know that at that time, he did not think that he could really complete this great undertaking. He just took it step by step, was pushed by the general trend, and finally embarked on this specific path.

How much of this is passive acceptance, and how much is active?

I'm afraid it's hard to tell clearly.

Lu Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turns out that the role of 'beggar' is a European emperor detector..."

He understands.

The only condition for passing this identity is not ability or determination, but luck.

Taizu Sheng was lucky.

Because throughout the ages, there have been countless oppressed peasants and countless people at the bottom who have had no choice but to do so. There may be some people among them who are as talented as Sheng Taizu, but they have already died at the beginning.

A severe beating from a landlord's servant, a natural disaster, or an accident may all cause the death of these people who were born at the bottom and had the chance to become heroes.

This is why most people who could become emperors throughout the ages came from aristocratic families.
