This made Qin Che not rush back.

Instead, they enjoy the emerald lake and wilderness scenery in the oasis.

"It's not that I don't want to leave, but I have to stay here and keep watch."

Li Xin pushed open the door and entered, saying to the members of the Senate behind him, "Wall No. 21 has not surrendered yet. Huang Shiyao has proclaimed himself head of state, and he may still want to fight. The Northern Expeditionary Army has not yet fully penetrated the northern lands, so neither Qin Gong nor I can leave."

“Sir, you can go directly to Wall 21 and negotiate with Huang Shiyao.”

"I believe he will back down."

"Yes, even the leader... no, even Song Ruhui has admitted defeat, what else can he do?"

These elders urged Li Xin to set off for Wall 21 to consolidate power.

Qin Che coughed.

Only then did everyone realize that Qin Gong was still in the office. Their expressions changed drastically, and they lowered their heads in silence.

Li Xin asked in confusion, "Didn't you go back to rest?"

"I took a nap here." Qin Che got up and said to them, "The matter of Wall 21 will naturally be resolved, but not now. Let's let them be and see what choice Huang Shiyao makes first."

"That's what I think too."

Li Xin nodded to Qin Che.

These days, Qin Che stays in the oasis to enjoy himself.

He dumped all the work on Li Xin.

Sometimes he would grit his teeth and condemn Qin Che for being a hands-off manager.

Qin Che would always say, "The Senate system here in Oasis is well-established, and the administrative structure hasn't collapsed. Just follow the steps."

Over time, Li Xin simply let it go.

The most regrettable thing about that battle was the destruction of the Black Army.

He only has half a body left, and his extraordinary power has greatly diminished. He can still deal with masters, but he will be inadequate against other extraordinary beings in the future.

This great asset was destroyed during the battle with Zhou Jie, which was a great pity for Qin Che.

At the same time, he also gained a completely new understanding of his own power.

Of course, it's mostly a feeling of insecurity.

The desire to improve oneself is growing deeper and deeper.

The simulator was delayed, and Qin Che was very anxious. Although he appeared calm and still intimidated the entire oasis, he was still afraid of encountering a powerful enemy.

One month later,

The Northern Expeditionary Army advanced hundreds of miles, penetrating deep into the northern lands.

Two months later, the Northern Expeditionary Army infiltrated more than 20 surrounding cities and achieved liberation.

The Senate's administrative machinery is operating at full capacity.

Li Xin was always in a hurry.

Meetings, approvals, discussions, negotiations, assignments—all sorts of tasks left him scratching his head in frustration.

Fortunately, after learning about this from Savanyin, several key figures from the First Wall were dispatched to the Oasis to help Li Xin, and everything gradually got back on track.

It's only been a little over two months since we last met.

Safanyin missed Qin Che very much.

He expressed his love for her in telegrams on several occasions.

The leader's secret telegram route was turned into a love triangle between Qin Che and Sa Fanyin. She repeatedly resolved to travel north to the oasis to meet Qin Che, but he refused each time.

No. 1 Wall cannot exist without a leader.

Savanyin, being both his wife and a royal princess, was the most suitable choice.

Qin Che was uneasy about entrusting it to someone else.

He also transferred many mid-level cadres from places like Sand Castle, West Castle, and Old Town to assist Li Xin in handling government affairs.

Li Xin gradually began to personally attend to his duties, slowly withdrawing from the role and gaining a brief respite.

In addition, there is another piece of good news.

System updates gradually accelerated in the later stages.

The update was finally successful just before the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to liberate thirty-six cities and meet at the oasis!

Progress: 100%.

Your system has been updated.

Qin Che quickly opened the system panel, and version 2.0 opened his eyes.

There aren't many functional updates.

Besides the increased system space, the text simulation panel disappeared, which surprised Qin Che.

However, at the same time, version 2.0 updated the simulation method.

It has evolved from text-based simulation to immersive simulation.

The frequency changed from once every ten days to once a year.

Qin Che could not accept such an update at all—once a year? Wouldn't that lengthen his simulation cycle? Wouldn't it be even more difficult to become stronger in the future?

Okay, the new version has resolved the losses caused by the extended simulation period.

In other words, in future immersive simulations, the rewards earned each time in the simulated world will be settled.

Qin Che no longer needs to choose one of the three rewards.

He can have all the items he obtains and the strength he cultivates in future simulations!

"That's good news..."

“Aside from the annual simulation cycle being extended, you can get all the rewards in every simulation.”

The biggest gain must be the memories, right?

In Qin Che's eyes, this was no longer a simple simulation, but a cycle of life after life.

Let him experience all kinds of lives.

Of course, immersive simulations will not be based on the real-world flow of time.

A lifetime in a simulated world is roughly equivalent to a day in the real world...

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Qin Che couldn't wait any longer.

After making arrangements to avoid being disturbed, he returned to his room, closed his eyes, and started the simulation.

...

[Wasteland survival simulator in progress.]

Qin Che opened his eyes and found himself in the room, maintaining the same posture and demeanor he had when he was immersed in the simulation.

He first stood up and took a moment to feel his body.

The psionic particles are still there; they have neither been weakened nor strengthened.
