The Lunar New Year Festival


Hearing about the gift, the little boy's eyes shone. He did not care about the lanterns that had not been hanging properly, running towards Heru Cokro, flattering him, "Tehe~ee, brother is busy with a lot of work, occasionally sleeping longer can maintain health."


Heru Cokro shook his head, no longer bothering to tease him, he took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Laxmi. “This is the gift that brother gave you. Happy new year!"


Laxmi took over the jade with a very bright smile. This made the two twin female servants Anindya and Anindita who had just been hired become very envious of him.


Heru Cokro looked at Anindita the servant of Fatimah and asked, "Do you know where Fatimah is?"


Anindita instantly bowed, saying respectfully, “She was on the front page sharing her Majesty's angpao!”


Heru Cokro nodded his head and turned towards the front yard.


As expected, the Financial Bureau distributed the angpao and Fatimah was on the side coordinating everything.


When she saw Heru Cokro, Fatimah walked out and smiled, "Son woke up very late today."


Heru Cokro did not care about his ridicule and asked, “How is the distribution of angpao? Does it run smoothly?”


“Everything went well. Gifts to the soldiers have been sent to the army camp. Generals Giri and Wirama will be in charge of distributing it. As for government officials almost finished.”


"Good." At the same time, Heru Cokro took out another piece of jade and gave it to Siti Fatimah, saying, “This is the gift that sister prepared for you. Happy new year!"


Fatimah received the jade, laughing saying, "Thank you big brother! happy new year!"


"I still need to give Mr. Kawis Guwa and Mr. Winata Sideng Rana a gift. So I won't bother you for too long." Heru Cokro said goodbye and left, and walked towards the Administration Bureau.


He presented two sets of four literary heirlooms to Kawis Guwa and Witana Sideng Rana, also having considerable discussions with them. Unknowingly, it was already afternoon. So Heru Cokro resigned.


Mulia from the completion of lunch, Jawa Dwipa has been busy preparing for the new year dinner. Because the Director of the Material Reserve Bureau Puspita Wardani who handles the first lunar new year night celebration in Java Dwipa, the preparation went well and smoothly.


The entire dinner is traditionally designed with a lush guyub theme. The first table in the discussion hall of the ruling residence stretches from the courtyard to the business street to the entrance of the city.


The party started on time at 18:00 WIB. At the main table, have sat Heru Cokro, Kawis Guwa, Witana Sideng Rana, General Giri, Siti Fatimah, Laxmi, Wirama and Ainun Najib.


They enjoy drinking beer, chatting and joking while the party lasts until 20:30. The system still has humanity as it does not send the Nian Shou monster to mess things up during the dinner.


Heru Cokro remembered that the monster Nian Shou would attack after dinner, hence he only drank water. He also ordered all military personnel not to touch alcohol, let alone drink it.


Because in his previous life, Heru Cokro remembered that there was a careless ruler, drunk at dinner. So when the Nian Shou monster came, they could not fight back and the entire region was destroyed. The supposed joyous event became a tragic event.


“System notice: On February 19 of Vishnu's first year, at 21:00 WIB, Nian Shou's monster will descend and emerge into the wilderness. May the rulers have prepared in advance!”


“System notice: On February 19 of Vishnu's first year, at 21:00 WIB, Nian Shou's monster will descend and emerge into the wilderness. May the rulers have prepared in advance!”


“System notice: On February 19 of Vishnu's first year, at 21:00 WIB, Nian Shou's monster will descend and emerge into the wilderness. May the rulers have prepared in advance!”


Based on the usual case in his previous life, one region would be given one to two Nian Shou monsters. The Nian Shou monster in the first year would average to have a level 30 and every year thereafter would increase by 10 levels. The Nian Shou monsters would only attack the main region, not the secondary headquarters.


Therefore, if a ruler had made preparations, it would usually not cause much damage to his territory. But on the contrary, if someone manages to get through this event, it will get a big prize. After all, this is a lunar new year's night, of course the system does not want to ruin the festive atmosphere. To be exact, this event is there to increase the excitement of the new tofu night.


Hearing the explosion of the system notification, Heru Cokro beckoned General Giri and Wirama to bring the soldiers back to the army camp and wait for his orders. He himself immediately turned to his room to pick up a weapon, took Tetsu out of the stables and galloped out towards the army camp.


Walking into the army camp, the soldiers were already dressed neatly. Since this was different from the battles they used to do, they felt the need to get ready beforehand. “Friends, just relax. The method of attacking Nian Shou monsters was to corner them, not to kill them. Therefore, everyone needs to take care of themselves, I don't want anyone to get hurt. Especially until the victim falls.”


"Ready Your Majesty!" The soldiers shouted in unison.


"Let's go!" Heru Cokro turned his horse and rushed out of the army camp.


Heru Cokro took over the north gate with Wirama carrying 50 cavalry by his side. General Giri brought the newly formed infantry to the west gate. Dudung and Agus Bhakti brought the remaining 50 cavalry to the north gate. In addition, the Military Intelligence Division is responsible for the communication between them. They use fireworks as a signal. And so, when they found the Nian Shou monster, they were able to gather immediately.


At 21:10, there was still no sign of the appearance of the Nian Shou monster. So, Heru Cokro told everyone to relax and be patient.


Ten minutes later, two Nian Shou monsters rushed towards the south door. They saw that the Nian Shou monster was over 3 meters long with a body covered in light green scales. His neck and tail had several golden feathers and horns on his head. His eyes were like bells with sharp teeth. The look of this Nian Shou monster looked extremely frightening.
