Battle Royale of the Sinners 17 System is Triggered

During Tong's time in Hell, he made a goal in one of the hypothesis scenarios. If he were to become one of the overlords in China, He would make cannons.

With cannons and hot weapon technologies imported to this era, he could stream-roll or wipe out any opposition from every opponents regardless of how many hundred thousands or millions of troops they had with ease.

But reality was different from the fairy tales, Tong couldn't remember all details of the cannon blueprints and exact composition of any firearms despite being prepared for a hundred years. He didn't have direct experiences in manufacturing anything of the sort in his past life.

Tong was jealous of many main characters in transmigration novels where the MCs had insane photographic memories that could replicate any mega construction projects or blueprints of their choices.

The [Firearms Creation] skill caught his eyes. He had an inspiration. If he created a gun and dissembled it to pieces, then he could understand more about firearm structure. Maybe one day he could gather blacksmiths and artisans to replicate the created model into similar firearms and ultimately sported his soldiers with guns and cannons.

Tong also wanted to buy a completed cannon from the shop for a better reference. But the price for the modern cannon was too expensive, which would cost him millions of years in lifespan. Even a medieval version was listed for 200,000 years lifespan. Tong couldn't afford to buy that with the current lifespan he had.

Tong no longer hesitated, he purchased the skill from the PTW Shop and used it on the spot, spending 10,050 Lifespans instantly and left him with 319 years remaining.

Tong imagined a gun that he was most familiar with when he was a police officer, a 9mm Glock 17 gen 5. The pistol may not be the best or ideal during his time in his previous life but Tong felt more confident handling it than other models.

It was the model that police officers in his country commonly used, so Tong followed the trend and rarely touched any other brand. Moreover, guns and ammunitions were expensive for a newly recruited policeman. Tong had no choice but to stick with his Glock.

There was another reason he chose to pick up this skill, he was weak in mid-range to long-range battle.

Last night had proven that Tong could be sniped down by long range magics. It made him more nervous when he thought that the magic arrow skill could still be brought back by another otherworlders and used against him in the future.

Therefore Tong needed something powerful, something that could threaten otherworlders in mid-range and long-range so he wouldn't be easily sniped.

A handgun may not be the correct answer but it gave him an assurance that at the very least he could fight back.

But this skill had a couple cons, the original creator put too many restriction on it to make it cheap to use. Firstly, Tong could only create one bullet a day.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the history started mobilizing before 183 AD, which Tong only had less than two years to prepare. Even if Tong created a bullet every day for two years, he would have only seven hundred bullets, which wouldn't be enough to take on forty thousand troops of the imperial army and tens of thousands of its surrounding allies.

And lastly, the skill EXP which was required to upgrade the skill was a hundred times higher than other active skills. Tong's first skill [Time Stop] only required 100 EXP to increase to level two. However, [Firearms Creation] demanded 10,000 EXP. It would take forever to raise it until the skill could be called useful.

[Alright! Alright! It seems all of you have done your shopping.]

[Now, moving on. There's a few announcement for you poor kids.]

[First news, there are now 39 of you remaining.]

Tong had a complicate feeling towards the surviving reincarnators. He felt glad that the number was cut down to two-fifth from the start. But at the same time, he dreaded the system more because of its unpredictable missions and functions.

[And second news … which is veeeeeeeeeeeery disturbing news …]

[There are a few individuals with unreasonable ... value.]

[For example, there's a guy with over 999,999,999 lifespan from the start.]

[Such HAX shouldn't be permitted in my game … so I'm gonna nerf those morons a bit more.]

[All idiots that joined this game with WEIRD lifespan will not be able to use my PTW Shop!]

[Next, those idiots will be barred from killing any natives in this world for the rest of their life!]

[Anyone violates my decree will be executed by soul explosion.]

[And I've got an extra message to those stupid "infinite" lifespan cheaters … you can go @#$% yourself.]

This was the first time that Tong witnessed the system got butthurt. Someone had more cheats than Tong and it was OP to the point that this obnoxious system was triggered? And if he heard it correctly, there were "few individuals". Did that mean there were more than one?

[Ahem! Excuse me.]

[It was quite immature of the glorious gentlemen me to act up like that.]

[Please pretend you didn't see or hear anything.]

"…"

[Last announcement, you can now take a mission voluntarily by pressing the random quest button.]

[The content of the mission will be randomized, but it's gonna be fun!]

[That's all for today! Ciao!]

…

…

…

Capital City of Luo Yang, Imperial Palace.

Ping smashed his wine cup on the ground. His face flushed red and veins were popping up under the skin on his face. The complexion on his face was ugly.

One of the "cheaters" that system mentioned was him. He had not yet been able to buy anything from the PTW Shop but the system already disabled him from accessing it.

His lifespan was also nerfed. Instead of having "∞" symbol behind the lifespan row in the status menu, he now had 50 years remaining. Most importantly, one of his major skill was altered.

*******************************

His [Superior Plot Armor] had been changed into [Nerfed Plot Armor] and its effect was dramatically decreased. His invincible skill now had turned into a junk life-saving skill.

Moreover, the skill he had personally created, [Super Human], became a thorn that hurt him.

The skill would consume his lifespan 10 times of the normal rate. Which meant, he would lose 10 years of lifespan instead of one year for every year passed as he aged. In summary, at this rate of lifespan consumption, Ping would die in five years.

Unfortunately, he had already completed all ten of his tutorial missions and the previous PvP mission, but all his rewarded lifespan were reset back to 50.

Ping also used his active skill during the last quest to kill the otherworlder opponent, making his only active skill disappeared.

Ping now had no choice but to complete another mission to increase his lifespan as soon as possible.

'Screw you! I'll take on another quest.'

'After I finish the next quest I can finally kill Liu Bian.'

'I have to hurry. The emperor will die in 8 years.'

'If he die before I kill Liu Bian and Liu Xie, I'll lose everything!'

Though Ping was reincarnated as Liu Ping, the crown prince of Han, son of Emperor Ling, he was struggled in the middle of the in-fighting storm between the Eunuch Faction and the Emperor Royalists.

The Eunuch Faction was self-explanatory. All members were eunuchs in the imperial court. They had settled their roots long before Emperor Ling took the throne.

The eunuchs used their power as they pleased, controlling major power within the imperial court.

Ping's mother was the previous empress, Empress Song. She and her entire family fell victim by the treacherous plan of the Eunuch Faction. Ping's entire family was killed, leaving him the only one with Song's blood.

On 178 AD, the Song family was framed by eunuchs that Empress Song and her family used witchcraft to curse the Emperor and made him sick. The Emperor believed it and ordered the entire family be executed, including Ping.

Thanks to Ping's [Superior Plot Armor], he couldn't be killed no matter what the executioner had tried. Instead of being killed, Ping fought back and slaughtered several soldiers and executioners, shocking the imperial court.

Ping then stormed into the imperial court, killing several officials and eunuchs, and threatened the emperor himself to withdraw the imperial decree or Ping would dethrone the emperor.

Though Ping wanted to kill the emperor right away, the system mission restricted him. He was given a mission that he could not kill any royal family members until the end of 180AD.

Emperor Ling was scared of Ping. He swallowed his pride and gave out an amnesty, withdrawing all charges against the Song family, and had Song family regained its honor.

Since that chaos, Ping was living inside of the royal inner palace as the crown prince of Han, plotting against all factions in imperial courts, waiting for the day he could become the emperor.

However, last year, the emperor instated Lady He as the new empress. And He Jin, brother of the empress, was appointed as the Regent Marshall in the imperial court.

After the appointment, He Jin stood in the forefront leading the royalist faction against the eunuchs while expanding his politic influences.

The historic arrival of Empress He gave Ping a dilemma. He needed to get rid of these competitors as soon as possible, which were the two princes and the empress.

The first prince was Liu Bian, Prince of Hongnong. He was the first son of Empress He that she bore before she became the empress.

The other prince was Liu Xie, who was destined be known as Emperor Xian of Han during the Three Kingdoms Era. Liu Xie would be born in this year.

Ping had to kill both of them before the year 189 AD, the year that Emperor Ling died. So after the emperor died, he would be only one who had the qualification to take the throne.

But if he couldn't kill both of them fast enough, He Jin and Empress He would use political reasons to expel him and would make one of their prince be the next emperor.

"Screw the royal family! Screw the Yellow Turbans! System, give me a goddamn quest!"
