After the Moon Goddess left, the ministers swarmed around her, losing all composure and talking at once, showing no semblance of the demeanor of important ministers of the Qin Dynasty.
When Ying Zheng saw that the Moon Goddess's figure had completely disappeared, he lowered his head, spat out a few teeth stained with blood.
A few old teeth that hadn't fallen out were spat out, and it took a while to finish replacing the old ones with new ones.
To avoid being impolite, he forced himself to finish speaking through his teeth.
The courtiers fell silent for a moment, until Meng Tian squeezed in, holding the tooth that Ying Zheng had spat out earlier in his hands, and respectfully said:
"Your Majesty, I have brought everything I could see; nothing has been missed."
this……
Well, Meng Tian's behavior was too servile, making the other ministers feel a little awkward. The prevailing attitude now is, "If the ruler treats me as a national talent, I will treat him as one."
The relationship between the emperor and his ministers was not exaggerated. When Ying Zheng last appointed Wang Jian to lead the army, he personally visited Wang Jian's residence for a long talk.
Ying Zheng accepted the teeth from his hand and carefully put them in his pocket—his body and hair were given to him by his parents, how could he easily discard them?
"My lords, please calm down," Ying Zheng said, raising his hand to stop the noise.
He then instructed people to appease the people, make arrangements for the selected students of the Music Palace, and order the army to arrive quickly to control the situation, making meticulous arrangements for everything.
"Your Majesty, what do you think should be done with the jade statue of Nüba... the goddess?"
Li Si paused for a moment, then, considering that Nüba was now the "protector goddess" of the Qin Dynasty, added an honorific title.
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow. Did I need to say that?
However, he also understood his ministers' concerns. Nüba was only forced to be connected with the fate of the Qin Dynasty; the goddess was not dead yet.
"A title was devised for Nüba, and the whole Qin state was informed that a guardian deity had been established. A palace and temple were built in Xianyang to enshrine a jade statue of Nüba."
"Incorporate it into the official state sacrifices. Discuss the specific timing and rituals, and then submit a memorial to me."
After a moment's thought, Ying Zheng displayed the demeanor of an emperor of all ages, prioritizing his own interests above all else. Regardless of Nüba's past, she was now the goddess of Qin.
Thinking of the arrogant and domineering Nüba, who was unwilling but had no choice but to become the protector of Qin, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel unhappy.
...It's alright, this jade statue is worth at least a few hundred points.
He suddenly thought of something, so he added a sentence:
"Do not forget to tell everyone about the Moon Goddess's kindness to the Qin Dynasty."
The ministers nodded vigorously, thinking to themselves, "We all understand. The Moon Goddess is good, but she is too cruel. We must let the people know this so that they will not dare to offend her."
Having covered the urgent matters, the emperor and his ministers no longer needed to remain amidst the rubble-strewn ruins; they each trudged back to their respective homes.
Halfway there, Ying Zheng felt he had forgotten something, so he suddenly stopped and asked his attendant Zhao Gao, "Where is the Jade Rabbit?"
Then the emperor and his ministers looked at each other.
……………………
"Sigh, plans always change, and all of this has gone to waste."
While cleaning up the system space, I pulled out scripts one by one. They were all the hard work and passion of a certain host, but unfortunately, she changed her mind too quickly and often added scenes, ruining many of the scripts.
"Since we've burned everything, let's also cook some tomato and egg noodles. I'm craving them."
Ling Xiao rested his head on his hands and said casually.
The system diligently cooked noodles, and for a moment it was in a daze. Was it still the one who aspired to become a great system? Why was it cooking noodles here?
While deep in thought, the system continued cracking eggs.
Ling Xiao's thoughts drifted to the heavens, and she asked about the rewards for the side quests.
He read out "30,000 points" without any excitement. Having followed Ling Xiao for so long, he had become immune to numbers that would normally excite the system.
"...Indigenous Disguise Card x2, Identity Writing Item x1, Dream Entry Permanent!"
The tone grew higher and higher, the joy and excitement within it almost overflowing; Ling Xiao could almost picture the Jade Rabbit beaming with delight.
"Hahahaha, host, the Supreme God is too generous! This system will [do something to him]!"
"etc"
Ling Xiao sat up abruptly, asking curiously, "You censored two words just now, did you know that?"
"Really? Then I'll say it again." (Confused)
"…………, this system XX him"
Two minutes passed, and Ling Xiao and the system exchanged a glance, their eyes full of gossip!
"Ahem, there are some things we shouldn't delve into too deeply. Come, let me explain the purpose of this reward."
The system coughed twice and quickly changed the subject, earning a glare from Ling Xiao.
"The Indigenous Disguise Card, as the name suggests, allows the host to conceal their identity as a mission taker after entering the world."
Whether it's a global consciousness, an indigenous group, or even fellow mission takers, they will all consider you an indigenous person.
Ling Xiao interrupted, keenly aware of the problem:
"So, in some worlds, concealing one's identity is very advantageous, and in another world, multiple mission takers can enter simultaneously?"
"The host is absolutely right," the system explained.
"Being an indigenous person is very advantageous when carrying out missions in worlds where the main god has no control. Also, there can indeed be multiple mission takers in a single world, who may either fight against each other or cooperate."
"I understand, please continue."
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he had a general idea of what the next world would be like.
The truth can be glimpsed in the details; the rewards from the Supreme God are actually traceable.
"The identity creation tool is very simple. The host can create an identity before entering the world. As for the dream entry technique, I don't need to elaborate."
After saying that, she excitedly jumped into Ling Xiao's arms, feeling bubbly with joy. Ling Xiao comfortably ate his tomato and egg noodles with his legs crossed, feeling completely refreshed after spitting out the leftovers.
"By the way, host, I just checked and found that the last mission in this world has appeared."
The system slowly read aloud: "Final mission: Expand your territory, make the rulers fall for your performance, and grant you independent land."
"Bingo!" Ling Xiao destroyed the empty bowl and chopsticks, snapped his fingers, and said.
"This final mission is actually quite simple."
Somewhat speechless. This is simple. If it were an ordinary mission taker, they would have already suspected that the main god wanted them dead.
That makes sense, considering the impression the host left on Ying Zheng. What's a piece of land compared to that? It's nothing.
News of Nüba's defeat quickly reached Wang Jian by carrier pigeon. The old general laughed three times, and within a day, the demoralized Chu people were captured and their capital was breached.
The King of Chu, along with his wives, concubines, children, relatives, and ministers, were escorted to Qin.
However, Xiang Ji, whom Ying Zheng specifically named, received extremely favorable treatment...
