"Ah, Ying Zheng was truly lucky. If it weren't for my great host and ingenious system, immortality would have been nothing but a pipe dream."
Looking at the longevity pills shimmering with golden light in the system space, he sighed.
Without the appearance of the "Moon Goddess," the world would not advance and would not tolerate the emergence of immortals.
Perhaps the time won't come right, and with the help of the Longevity Pill, what else could this be but luck?
"That's hard to say."
Ling Xiao casually plucked a wildflower; she believed that for every bit of effort she put in, she would get ten times the reward!
If she wasn't mistaken, the extraordinary powers would become even stronger after the world advanced.
As time goes by, the "Moon Goddess" and "Nüba" have become imprints on history, and it is not impossible that they may one day emerge from people's hearts and beliefs.
The long timeframe wasn't a problem for her; after all, she was just casually scattering some seeds and would come back when it was time to harvest.
"Host, what are you thinking about?" he asked casually, interrupting Ling Xiao's thoughts.
"Oh, I'm thinking about how to cook a nutritious and delicious meal."
The system was puzzled, but the "training" it had undergone over the past few days made it instinctively speak:
"Do you need recipes? Many hosts from various food worlds have recorded their recipes, and they sell very well."
"No need," Ling Xiao said, a smile playing in her eyes.
"The ingredients aren't ready yet."
I wanted to say something more, but before I could, I inexplicably changed the subject:
"Host, haven't you chosen your compensation reward from the Supreme God yet? They are all very valuable items. Even if you don't need them right away, they can be sold for a large sum of resources."
As if reminded, Ling Xiao casually selected a reward:
"World Anchor" allows you to freely enter and exit a selected world, and also grants you the power to refuse entry to other mission takers.
"Oh, it's this. Some high-level mission takers use it to occupy a world as their base. Although it's valuable, it's only suitable for a narrow group of people."
He diligently explained to the host, while secretly planning how to contact channels to sell the product.
The next second, he saw Ling Xiao quickly use the reward and directly bind it to this world!
"Ah, you are..." she exclaimed, but when she met Ling Xiao's gaze, she swallowed the rest of her words.
Seeing the little system's heartbroken tears welling up, Ling Xiao revealed his plan, and finally chuckled:
"Use valuable things whenever possible; don't be foolishly reluctant to part with them, lest you end up benefiting someone else."
She has seen too many guys who couldn't let go of their trump cards and then died unexpectedly.
System: ...I have nothing to say.
Half a month later, Prince Dan of Yan finally arrived in Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
The Qin rulers and ministers treated the crown prince of another country with almost contempt, neither holding a banquet to welcome him nor sending anyone of sufficient importance to receive him.
"The Qin people are hateful!"
After seeing off the seemingly respectful Qin official, Prince Dan of Yan clenched his fists, his hair standing on end in anger. This sight made Jing Ke, who was standing silently to the side, frown.
You came here to assassinate the King of Qin, why are you getting angry over these things? Besides, we're still on Qin territory, what's the point of saying all this?
He truly didn't understand why Prince Dan of Yan insisted on personally assassinating the King of Qin.
Jing Ke: He's clearly a weakling...
Ying Zheng and others did not keep Prince Dan of Yan waiting for long. When he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep, they finally announced that they would take over the Dukang map of Yan.
"Let's go see a play."
Recalling the good deeds he had done before, Ling Xiao said with great interest.
She scooped up the jade rabbit and instantly transformed into a noble and mysterious moon goddess. Upon arriving at her destination, she first peeked into her personal space.
Starting from the long road, every three steps there was an elite soldier in iron armor carrying weapons, all staring menacingly at Prince Dan of Yan and his group.
Prince Dan of Yan held the map in his hands. Even though he tried to remain calm, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. Behind him was Jing Ke, who was carrying a box and acting as unassumingly as a follower.
Enter the hall.
A solemn and dignified atmosphere filled the hall, and the ministers standing on both sides were imposing and had different demeanors.
Prince Dan of Yan, subjected to a barrage of diverse gazes from those around him, felt his steps becoming increasingly difficult to lift.
"Halt!"
Twenty meters away from Ying Zheng, the servants loudly stopped Yan Dan and the others.
Oh no, we're still so far from Ying Zheng. It's absolutely impossible to break through so many soldiers' blockade and assassinate him!
Yan Dan felt a tightness in his chest. By the time he came to his senses, the diplomatic exchanges had been completed, and Ying Zheng was already asking him to begin presenting the gifts.
His novice-like behavior not only threw his accomplice Jing Ke off balance, but also left the Qin rulers and ministers, who had known about it for a long time, speechless.
Composing himself, Yan Dan raised his sleeve and respectfully held up the map, then gestured for Jing Ke to come forward and hold up the box.
"The State of Yan is weak, yet it greatly admires the power of the State of Qin. My father instructed me to treat the King of Qin with utmost respect, so he sent me with two gifts that will surely bring you joy."
"Oh, what kind of gift is it?"
Please look at the first item.
Prince Dan of Yan ordered Jing Ke to open the box in his hand, and a man's head appeared, with his hair and beard standing on end and his eyes wide open!
Everyone was shocked. Before Qin Chen could rebuke him, Prince Dan of Yan explained:
"This is the head of Fan Yuqi, the Qin general who defected. I have brought it to present to the King of Qin."
Fan Yuqi once instigated Ying Chengjiao, the younger brother of Ying Zheng, to rebel and lead the army originally fighting against Zhao to attack Xianyang. However, Ying Zheng defeated them without mercy, Ying Chengjiao died, and Fan Yuqi fled.
Upon seeing his head, a hint of pleasure flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes. He nodded and gestured for the attendant to take the box and accept it.
The second gift was the Dukang map held by Prince Dan of Yan.
"Dukang is the most fertile land in our Yan state. Offering it to the King of Qin signifies Yan's submission, and we hope that Qin and Yan will form a lasting alliance and refrain from attacking each other."
Before Prince Dan of Yan could finish speaking, sneers rose one after another from the crowd.
It's not their fault. It's ridiculous for a lamb to be slaughtered to cut off its own meat and offer it to a tiger, begging the tiger not to eat it.
The State of Yan was far too weak. If it weren't for the other states separating Qin and Yan, Yan would have been destroyed long ago.
Enraged, Yan Dan lowered his head, swallowed the pill, and felt an immense surge of power coursing through his body. His face flushed, he said:
"Please allow me to explain this map of Dukang to the King of Qin."
The ministers who knew the inside story were somewhat agitated, and Ying Zheng was also prepared to refuse, for a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.
But then a voice, as clear as cracking ice on a jade plate, rang in my ears: "Say yes."
Upon recognizing the voice of the Moon Goddess, Ying Zheng was certain:
"allow"
Yan Dan felt as if a fire was burning brighter and brighter in his heart. It was so hot, and he really wanted to release his energy. He thought to himself that Nüba's pills were too potent.
Fearing the medicine would lose its effectiveness, he had no choice but to step forward as quickly as possible...
