Bang... bang... bang...
Old Gu's calm words exploded by Gu Yi's ear like a thunderclap.
In that instant, Gu Yi could even hear his own increasingly rapid heartbeat.
Everything, everything was exactly the same!
[Extracting ancestral information...]
Gu Yi suddenly remembered the prompt before the game began.
For a moment, he couldn't help but swallow, and even his hands started to tremble slightly.
Could it be... this game can affect reality?
Even the characters inside it... are the ancestors of my own family?
This thought shook Gu Yi's worldview, but everything at the moment was proving it to be true.
He remembered very clearly that, before this, his family had never mentioned anything about the ancestors.
With Old Gu's personality, if there were records...
It shouldn't have gone unmentioned for so many years...
Thinking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, countless thoughts flooding in at that moment.
If it were really so...
Wouldn't I have a chance to build a legendary family?
Not to mention the wealth accumulated over thousands of years.
Just relying on the family's heritage... in the current era, it would be enough to lay low completely....
Thinking of this, Gu Yi also became instantly excited.
"What's wrong with the child?"
The elderly couple at the dining table noticed Gu Yi's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm full."
Gu Yi didn't waste any words, and without any hesitation, he rushed into his room, shut the door, and immediately picked up the gaming console again.
At this time... perhaps because it wasn't operated for a long time, the screen of the console had already gone dark.
But the moment Gu Yi touched it.
The screen lit up again as if it sensed something.
However, it wasn't the game interface as Gu Yi imagined, but the initial startup screen.
It was still those desolate two characters and various options.
The only difference was that [Start Game] had turned into [Continue Game].
This time, Gu Yi didn't rush to choose to continue the game but looked at the last [Note] option and clicked on it.
If everything was as he thought, and the game could affect reality, he needed to carefully understand this game first.
The prompts popped up instantly.
[Notes.]
[1: Each time a player assumes control of a character, a massive amount of achievement points is required.
(Note: Players can earn achievement points through the accomplishments of family members, but no points are awarded for those directly controlled by the player.)]
[2: The game cannot be paused, saved, or time-reversed, and the player has only one chance. The game's progress will constantly move forward.
If all direct family line members perish, it's considered a game failure.
Everything the player does in the game will be erased, and history will fully restore itself.
(Note: The game will set the cutoff at three hundred years before the player's current time, ensuring the player won't disappear due to historical changes.)]
[3: If the player's family alters history, it will continuously self-correct over time.
(Example: If a player makes changes different from the original history at the beginning of the Eastern Han, without follow-up actions, its impact will weaken over time until fully restored.)]
[4: Player's integration into a character does not equate to full control over that character.
It will only affect the overall mindset of the character, making them make choices that align with the player's needs during different decisions.]
[5: Achievement points can be used for item lotteries. Every ten thousand achievement points allow for one draw, where powerful items of varying levels can be won.
(Note: Item levels are divided into: Divine, Sky, Earth, Mystic, Common.)]
"It can actually affect history!"
Seeing these notes, Gu Yi instantly confirmed this point.
He couldn't help but have his thoughts swirling inside his mind.
Everything he just thought of surged back in that instant.
Being able to affect history...
Isn't that indicating he can have a chance to build a family that spans the river of history!
He took a deep breath to calm his surging thoughts, and seriously analyzed each note.
Starting with the first tip.
Although Gu Yi doesn't play games much, he's quite capable of understanding.
He instantly grasped the core significance of this tip.
Which is, he can't ensure he will control every generation of his family!
This point alone made Gu Yi instantly aware of the difficulty involved.
Throughout China's five thousand years, how many renowned families have declined or even perished due to a single generation?
Not to mention the game is set during feudal times!
If his family produces someone mediocre, they could be facing the risk of game over!
But the second and third points relieved Gu Yi's greatest worry.
That is, if the family perishes and the lineage breaks or they make significant changes, his family won't disappear.
"So it means... to achieve the kind of outcome I want."
"At least, the entire family must not be exterminated throughout history, and before modern times, the family must maintain a strong influence."
"Only this way can history's correction be offset, leaving something behind?"
Gu Yi instantly thought of this, and his expression grew more serious.
