[Three Kingdoms] [Inner Thoughts] [Cao Cao] [Zhao Yun] [Low-Ranking Soldier]
Lin Chen transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty and, from the start, becomes a young guard under Boss Cao.
The bad news: he has no System.
The good news: Boss Cao can hear his inner thoughts!
"Is that guy who looks like a little black egg Boss Cao?"
"He's so ugly!"
Cao Cao: ? Why do I feel like someone's insulting me?
Cao Cao asks Lin Chen if the coalition against Dong Zhuo can win.
Lin Chen: "My lord, our coalition will sweep all before us! Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and the rest are nothing but chickens and dogs!"
"Win, my ass! The eighteen warlords have nineteen different agendas. And you, Boss Cao, quit grinning like an idiot. You won't be smiling when Xu Rong beats you till you're screaming!"
"What do you think of Zhao Yun? Should we recruit him?"
Lin Chen: "There's no need for that. We should build a good relationship with General Gongsun. Poaching his men would be wrong!"
"Holy crap, that's Zhao Yun! The man who fought his way through seven battles and seven exits like a god!"
"What does Gongsun Zan know? Does he even know how to use Zhao Yun???"
Cao Cao: ...Can this kid be any more insincere?
Years later, Lin Chen, the Great Wei's foremost contributor, puts an arm around his wife Cao Jie and asks Boss Cao how he managed to unify the realm so quickly.
Cao Cao smiles without answering and silently puts another huge chicken leg in Lin Chen's bowl.
