Chapter 60 New Mission Accepted
Ying Zheng was a little embarrassed.
Ying Zheng was happy when he received the news brought by the people he sent.
But now——
I did it on impulse and it seems that it may not end well.
He coughed lightly and said, "I will handle this matter properly. Lord Changping does not need to worry."
Seeing that the king did not want to answer this question, Mi Qi stopped asking and asked, "Then I wonder what the Queen Mother sent?"
On the way, Mi Qi carefully observed this thing that looked like a mallet. The skin could be peeled off, and inside was yellow flesh with a peculiar fragrance. This was the first time he had seen such a fruit in his life.
When mentioning corn, Ying Zheng's embarrassment disappeared and he happily introduced the uses of corn.
He then continued, "This corn can produce ten dan per mu. In your opinion, if all the land in our Great Qin were planted with this corn, how many more troops could we mobilize?"
"Ten shi?!" Mi Qi's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, making sure the king wasn't making fun of him before answering, "If that's really possible, without shaking the foundation of the country, we can at least increase the army by 200,000."
The Qin State can mobilize an army of about 500,000. At present, the Qin State has not launched any external wars and has sufficient food and grass. If the army is mobilized, one soldier will need at least two or three people to provide logistical supplies. In addition to the loss of food on the way, the 500,000-strong army will consume at least 800,000 stones of food a day.
Because of this, even if Ying Zheng urgently wanted to mobilize troops, he had to make adequate preparations.
He wanted to conquer the world, not destroy his own country first.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng felt very happy. This one thing could be worth 200,000 troops. That person was not a monster at all, but a god who came to help him.
Once the granary is full of grain, it will only be a matter of time before he can take over those vassal states.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't know that someone had been coveting her corn. At this moment, she was in the system space.
The familiar white screen and the familiar simplified Chinese characters made Zhao Yuanxi feel as if she were in another world. Everything that had happened recently really made her feel like she was in a dream.
[Congratulations to the host, the mission has been completed and the rewards have been distributed. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, a small box suddenly appeared in Zhao Yuanxi's palm. Inside the box was a shit-yellow pill with the words "Strength to Pull Mountains and Courage to Cover the World" written on it in scribbled calligraphy.
Before Zhao Yuanxi had time to be happy, the system sound appeared again.
[New mission is opening——
Task 2: Planting 10,000 mu of winter wheat
Mission duration: Six months
Mission item: One improved seed
Mission Reward: Pill of Immunity to All Diseases. 】
Zhao Yuanxi's eyes lit up. Birth, old age, sickness and death are all major events in life.
If she had this medicine in her previous life, she probably wouldn't have died so early. With this medicine, she feels that she can live again!
This time there were much more seeds than the corn seeds last time. Zhao Yuanxi couldn’t hold them all, so he simply put them directly on the ground.
Improved winter wheat seeds look no different from other seeds.
The Qin State planted wheat, even winter wheat, but like other crops today, the yield of that wheat was very low and could only be used as a supplement to food.
I don't know what characteristics this batch of seeds has.
Zhao Yuanxi hopes that it can achieve at least half the yield of modern winter wheat seeds, and it would be even better if it can be disease-resistant and drought-resistant.
Since it’s produced by the system, it shouldn’t be too bad.
"What is this?" Zhao Yuanxi pointed at the extra progress bar on the side of the screen, which clearly said 1%.
The system screen flickered slightly. [The mission to capture Qin King Ying Zheng has been activated. The current favorability is 1%. Please continue to work hard.]
......
Zhao Yuanxi pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief. "I'm his mother now! My favorability rating is only 1%. Are you sure this is normal?"
[The system data will not be wrong, please rest assured. 】
What Zhao Yuanxi didn't know was that before today, Ying Zheng's favorability towards her was actually 0%, and before that, his favorability towards Zhao Ji was even negative.
The task was passively activated, and Zhao Yuanxi couldn't say how happy he was.
She would probably rate the flowers and plants she saw on the road as good as 30 or 40 percent, even with cats and dogs! This one percent really put a lot of pressure on her.
"Let's just talk about the mission, what about the reward after successfully completing the strategy?"
[If the strategy is successful, the host can make a wish to the system, and as long as it does not exceed the system's capabilities, it can be realized.]
Zhao Yuanxi snorted. Isn't this "not exceeding the scope of ability" a rogue clause? When she really makes a wish, it will all depend on whether it is willing or not.
"What kind of wish? Can I wish for a star?"
【......】
[This system needs to explain to the host that stars are actually giant celestial bodies. If they were really given to you, the host would die.]
Zhao Yuanxi curled his lips, then said with a grin, "Then can I be the Qin Shi Huang?"
【？ 】
The system's CPU was nearly burned out. After a long pause, it said, "If the host truly wishes to become the master, the system can wait for Ying Zheng's death and then send you to him."
Ah! It really works!
Zhao Yuanxi was happy.
But on second thought, if you can't be a good mother, what's the point of being a son?
It's really bad that she doesn't want to be a good woman and instead becomes an old man.
Zhao Yuanxi felt a little disgusted and asked his last question, "Then can you send me back to my own world?"
Although she no longer had any relatives in that world, she still had two or three friends, and compared to this world with clear distinctions between superiors and subordinates, Zhao Yuanxi still preferred her own world.
After a long pause, the system said, "Yes, but the host's body is gone. If you want to return, you can only use a corpse to revive."
This is already a good result.
Zhao Yuanxi's eyes curved. "Thank you, system! You're such a great system."
When Zhao Yuanxi woke up, it was already dawn.
This time the things were not delivered to her directly, but she could take them out from the system space whenever she wanted.
After a while, Zhao Yuanxi had a small box in his hand.
The box was ordinary. She took out the pill from it. The round beads gave off a strange smell, and the shit-yellow color made it inexplicably lose her appetite.
Zhao Yuanxi pursed his lips, looked ready to die, and swallowed it.
The pill dissolved immediately as it entered his mouth, and Zhao Yuanxi suddenly couldn't help retching.
Why is this durian flavored?
She had suffered so much that she couldn't vomit it out. Even if it tasted like shit today, she had to swallow it.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't know how much tea he drank before he suppressed the strange taste.
She breathed a long sigh and sat on the soft couch in the hall, half paralyzed on it. She turned her head slightly and saw the large cauldron outside where incense was burning.
It was as if some kind of DNA was triggered.
Why not try it? I've already taken it, how can I know how useful the medicine is if I don't try it! Zhao Yuanxi muttered in his heart.
