The next day, sunlight streamed through the window into the hospital room. Lin Bai had finished breakfast and was sitting on the bed, flipping through a book.
At that moment, Nurse Lina tiptoed in and softly said, "Professor Lin, a few young people have come to visit you. They say they are your students. What do you think?"
Lin Bai paused for a moment, thought it over, then smiled and nodded in agreement.
Li Na turned and left the room, and soon returned with five young people. Among them were two boys and three girls, all full of energy and vitality, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and admiration.
Upon seeing Lin Bai, the first girl burst into tears, and the others looked equally sorrowful.
"Professor Lin, I'm so sorry! You sacrificed so much to save me!"
These individuals were indeed some of the students who had followed Professor Lin into the ruins that day; the crying girl was the one he had pushed aside to protect.
Lin Bai's mindset had already calmed down; after all, he wasn't the one who saved her—he merely inherited the body of a true master.
"It's not your fault; it's those exotic species' doing. How could you blame yourself?"
Lin Bai smiled reassuringly and then deliberately shifted the topic by glancing at another girl holding a camera. Curiously, he asked, "What’s that?"
The girl noticed Professor Lin looking at her and quickly wiped her eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed as she explained, "Professor, there are just too many students who want to visit you. But considering you need to rest and it’s not suitable for too many people to disturb you, we thought we could film a video throughout our visit to show the other students later. If you mind, I can turn it off right away!"
After hearing this, Lin Bai laughed heartily and waved at the camera saying, "Of course I don’t mind! Hello to all my students!"
After chatting for a while, one of the boys excitedly said, "Professor, we all saw your post about General Qi! It was truly shocking!"
The girl quickly chimed in, "Yes! I never expected that the killing god Bai Qi had such a background. We’ve misunderstood him for so many years! Just thinking about it makes me feel guilty."
Another boy snorted disdainfully and said angrily, "It's ridiculous how that director Zhang Mou still insists that his portrayal is historically accurate. And those brainless fans of his can't tell right from wrong!"
A different girl followed up, "Exactly! If it weren't for General Bai awakening Bai Qi's heroic spirit and revealing his true form, many of us would probably still be in the dark!"
At this moment, Lin Bai's expression turned serious; his gaze was resolute as he spoke earnestly: "This is precisely why we study history. Our country has a long and glorious history filled with the wisdom and spirit of countless ancestors. It should never be tarnished or distorted by outsiders. We have a responsibility to restore history to its true form!"
Hearing this, the students nodded solemnly, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.
However, immediately after that, a man furrowed his brows and said with concern, "But General Bai's Heroic Spirit Bai Qi so decisively killed the Barton Heroic Spirit of Chou Kingdom. Won't this provoke hostility from Chou Kingdom?"
A woman also showed worry and added, "I heard that officials from the Chou Kingdom embassy in Dragon Kingdom have conveyed their concerns and anger regarding this. I wonder if they will take any harsh measures against us. Just thinking about it makes me a bit scared."
Another man, sensing the heavy atmosphere, quickly interjected, "Oh, why are we talking about this? The professor is still recovering; let's not burden him with these worries."
Lin Bai waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "It's alright."
Looking at the concerned expressions on the faces of these young scholars, Lin Bai felt not a trace of their childishness but rather found them endearing and sincere.
He slowly continued, "Although I am merely someone who studies history diligently, there has never been true peace under the sun throughout history."
His gaze swept across each scholar's face, filled with expectation and seriousness.
"You must remember this: In the intricate web of international relations, strength is always the solid foundation for upholding justice. National defense is the strong backing of diplomacy. Dignity rests upon the edge of a sword, and truth lies within the range of cannon fire!"
Lin Bai's voice rang out powerfully like a great bell, each word seeming to carry the weight of a thousand pounds. His eyes were deep as the sea, as if they contained thousands of years of historical turmoil unfolding within them.
The scholars were thoroughly shaken by his resonant words. They stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning. His words were like a thunderclap, echoing in their hearts and leaving them stunned.
After the scholars left, the ward fell silent once more. Lin Bai continued to explore the mysterious system in his mind, familiarizing himself with its contents. He had two goals he wanted to pursue. The first was his lifespan; he currently had only one week left to live, and there was no way to extend it in this world.
Given the circumstances, he could only hope for opportunities or items within this system that could extend his life. The second option was to exchange for historical figures. Currently, his reputation points were just over two thousand, not quite reaching three thousand. Optimistically, he estimated that it could rise to around five thousand by the end of the day. He needed to find a suitable historical exchange target within five thousand points.
There were indeed options related to extending life, and quite a few of them, which eased Lin Bai's mind somewhat. However, he was only half relieved because the cheapest item required a staggering ten thousand reputation points!
The Seven Star Lantern: A mysterious artifact, its flickering flame carries the hope of prolonging life. Once exchanged, it can extend life for seven days, but it is a one-time use. Required reputation: ten thousand points.
This meant he had to earn ten thousand reputation points within seven days; otherwise, he would be facing certain death. Moreover, this item only extended life for seven days and was still a one-time use. This was reasonable, after all; it was merely an exchange for related information, not the Seven Star Lantern itself. Having seven extra days was already a blessing!
Regaining his composure, Lin Bai focused on the second item. Soon enough, he found his target: the renowned loyal minister, Yue Fei!
Yue Fei: A loyal and brave general whose spirit remains undying, defending the dignity of his homeland. Required reputation: unspecified points.
In this world, Yue Fei had been maliciously portrayed as ignorant and arrogant, a general who recklessly instigated wars and ultimately led his country to ruin. The once-famous Yue Family Army had seemingly vanished from all records as if they had never existed at all. Even his stirring and heroic poem "Man Jiang Hong," which had been passed down through generations, had not a single word left in circulation, as if it had been completely erased from the annals of history.
What was even more infuriating was that Qin Hui had been distorted into a shrewd and exceptionally capable prime minister. He was even misleadingly packaged and promoted by Western interests as the foremost minister in the history of the Dragon Kingdom!
This was utterly absurd! Such a reversal of truth and confusion of right and wrong was a tremendous desecration of history! He needed to restore General Yue's name; a person who served his country with utmost loyalty should not be subjected to such slander!
