Ultimate Scheming System

Situ had been with Xu Que all night and was shocked by all that she had seen.

Watching the ice lollies popping out one by one, she was so surprised that her eyes opened wide.

"Hero Zhuge, is this the ice lolly that can help our soldiers quickly reclaim their strength?" Situ asked. She still could not totally believe it.

After all, there was nothing special about the ice lolly, except for its strange appearance. She did not even feel any Qi emanating from the ice lolly.

Xu Que smiled and handed an ice lolly to Situ. "Eat it and you will find out."

Situ smelt it a little bit, sensing a slightly fragrant aroma.

Then she opened her mouth and bit off a small piece of it.

This woman is really something. She was supposed to lick it, not to bite it!

"What!" Situ covered her mouth and stared at Xu Que. There was a cracking sound in her mouth. Clearly, something was jumping around upon her tongue.

She was terrified and wanted to spit the ice out.

Seeing this, Xu Que quickly covered her mouth with his hand and hurriedly said, "You will be fine. It is called cracking candy. You will soon get used to it, and then it will be easier for you to eat something else."

Something else?

Situ was confused and realized that her mouth was still covered by Xu Que’s hand.

Although she had been spending most of her time with soldiers, she still felt embarrassed when she was touched by a man. She backed away a step and looked at Xu Que angrily.

"What is going on?" Situ asked.

After the cracking candy stopped jumping around inside her mouth, she could feel a sweet flavour permeating her tastebuds.

Her body suddenly trembled. She felt as if an invisible energy was flowing through her body.

She now felt very energetic.

She had not slept for a few days, but now she felt so refreshed and comfortable!

"This is amazing! Hero Zhuge, I can feel that something is happening inside my body!" Situ said happily.

It seemed that she had forgotten her position as the general. She looked so cute and naive, just like a little girl who had eaten some sweets.

Xu Que was amazed.

It is just an ice lolly with cracking candy, why is she so happy about it?

In fact, the reason why Situ was so happy was because she now could see the possibility of her side winning.

I am in the Infant Transformation Stage, and even I am already feeling so refreshed after eating this ice lolly. I believe the other soldiers will definitely feel better after eating the ice lolly as well. With the help of it, we could definitely win this battle.

"Do you like the flavour of it?" Xu Que smiled.

Situ nodded. "The ice lolly not only tastes good, but it is also refreshing me and making me feel so energetic! Hero Zhuge, you are really a hero!"

"You are welcome!" Xu Que said.

At last, by the following evening, they had managed to make tens of thousands of ice lollies.

Since it was very cold outside, Xu Que did not even need to make a refrigerator to store all these ice lollies. The citizens evenly divided the ice lollies and put them in many boxes. Situ asked the citizens to move these boxes out of the room and prepare to deliver them to the soldiers.

As for the citizens who had helped make the ice lollies, each of them received an ice lolly in compensation.

The citizen were all surprised when rhey tried it.

After all, they were human, and they all felt extremely tired after having worked nonstop for twenty-four hours. But after they ate the ice lollies, they instantly became very energetic.

"This ice lolly is amazing!"

"You are right! The ice lolly is so special!"

"Hero Zhuge really is powerful!"

"Hero Zhuge, why don’t we create a name for the ice lolly. The name ’ice lolly’ is too ordinary!" a citizen suggested.

Hearing this, everyone agreed. "Yes, we should devise a special name for this ice lolly."

"I think we should call it ’Amazing Stick’!"

"Well, I think we should call it the ’Big Stick’!"

"Hey, guys.The ice lolly is brown and has the same function as the Lingzhi Mushroom, we should call it ’Meat Stick’!"

"Huh, this is a good name!"

Everyone nodded and thought this was a perfect name.

Meanwhile, Xu Que was chewing on an ice lolly. When he heard the term ’Meat Stick’, he could not help but laugh and spit out the ice lolly.

What? ’Meat Stick’? Seriously?

"Are you not feeling well? Hero Zhuge?"

Xu Que waved his hand and said, "I am fine! You should all go back home and have a rest. Actually, I have already created a name for the ice lolly. I want to call it ’Exploding Stick’!"

’Exploding Stick’?

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. "What a name! When I was eating the ice lolly, I indeed felt like something was ’exploding’ inside my mouth! Hero Zhuge, you are so knowledgeable!"

"It is nothing." Xu Que proudly waved his hands.

...

In the afternoon sunlight, the snow that covered the whole city was shining red. Everyone in the city felt very happy!

"Hero Zhuge, what should we do next?" Situ asked in a low voice.

She still could not believe that the Kongming Lantern and the fabric wings could help the soldiers cross the abyss.

Xu Que did not reply. He gently waved his fan and looked at the sun, smiling.

"Situ... no, General Hai Tang. Summon the soldiers and get ready to go tonight! Let’s sneak-attack the Holy Ground tonight!"
