[The great ill omen has been averted. The family treasure tree is growing. Reward: 1,000 jin of premium potato seeds!]

Zhu Biao: “Uncle Li, the steam engine your eldest boy built just exploded. Father wants you to clean up the mess!”

Zhu Di: “Godfather! You’re still the best to me. Could you lend me twenty thousand elite troops? I’ll conquer Japan and give it to you for your birthday!”

Li Xiao sighs. “I really don’t want to show off, but my family’s strength won’t let me keep a low profile!”
