Origin Story

话说三国时期，诸葛亮草船借箭，大获全胜，周瑜妒忌，心生一计。一日，周瑜故意刁难诸葛亮，要他在十日之内造十万支箭。诸葛亮淡然一笑，胸有成竹地答应了。周瑜暗自得意，心想，这回看你诸葛亮如何应对。过了几天，诸葛亮轻松完成了任务，周瑜得知后，勃然大怒，气急败坏地对鲁肃说：“诸葛亮这个小子，实在太厉害了，这次竟然又赢了我！”鲁肃连忙劝解，周瑜才稍微平息了怒气，但心中依然充满了嫉妒和怨恨。此后，周瑜又屡次设计陷害诸葛亮，但诸葛亮总是能够化险为夷，最终周瑜气得吐血而亡，诸葛亮取得了最终的胜利。这个故事不仅展现了诸葛亮的智慧和才能，也反映了周瑜的嫉妒和狭隘。

During the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China, Zhuge Liang, a brilliant strategist, used his wit to overcome his opponent Zhou Yu's schemes. On one occasion, Zhou Yu, envious of Zhuge Liang's success, issued an impossible task: to manufacture 100,000 arrows within ten days. Zhuge Liang accepted the challenge with a calm smile. When he effortlessly completed the task within the allotted time, Zhou Yu, furious at being outwitted, became enraged. This incident highlights Zhuge Liang's superior intellect and Zhou Yu's jealousy and eventual demise.
