Not understanding Yu Ningning's surprise, Qin Shihuang looked at her with suspicion and said warily, "These puppets are extremely lifelike. The craftsmanship is even more exquisite than the thousands of troops I spent a lot of effort creating two thousand years ago. They will surely be able to protect my country after I die."
"Only from what the seller said, the price might be a bit expensive."
"Dean, are you reluctant to part with it?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a small ledger that had been used to record the number of days potatoes were washed. "I remember that I filmed quite a few commercials back then, and the money all went to the Dean. There's still quite a bit left."
Yu Ningning: "...It's not that I'm stingy with the money, it's just that you're new to this place and don't know that this thing has a special use here. If someone finds out about it, it might attract some attention."
Qin Shi Huang spread his wide robes and sleeves, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and said with great arrogance: "I am the first emperor of all time who created the world, and I deserve to be worshipped by all."
Yu Ningning: ...
Fine, fine, you can be the eye-catching bag if you want.
Anyway, I won't be the one who gets killed in the end.
But the next second, she asked very sincerely, "Your Majesty, may I ask you one last question? How did you come up with the idea of buying these Ultraman dolls?"
"It was a young actor in the crew who told me," Qin Shi Huang said proudly, raising his head with a very 'shrewd' tone. "After this period of contact, I have discovered that the customs of this world are far from the simple and honest atmosphere of my Great Qin Empire, where people don't pick up lost items on the road and don't lock their doors at night. Everyone's mouth is full of nonsense and deception, and they always try to fool me like I'm a fool."
"But I am the only emperor in the world, how could I not think of a way to break this deadlock?"
"So I asked the seven-year-old son of the cameraman on set who the most powerful person in the world was. He then showed me 12 episodes of Ultraman Tiga, and I thought that the character had some charm and was quite suitable to be my vanguard in the underworld."
"I have heard that there are many such remarkable figures in this world, and I intend to make contact with them all in the future."
"By the way, Dean, have you ever heard of 'Sun Wukong'?"
Yu Ningning: ...Not only have I heard of him, but he was also my childhood idol.
But... the thought of Qin Shihuang needing to buy thousands more Sun Wukong dolls made Yu Ningning's lips twitch again. She didn't say another word and decisively transferred the money to Qin Shihuang.
Just before transferring the money, Yu Ningning glanced at the product details page, and then her vision blurred as she realized that this batch of dolls were actually the light-up and sound-emitting versions...
The thought of thousands of red Ultramen bursting with light from their chests after the lights are turned off at night, shouting emphatically: "Your Majesty, do you believe in light? Do you believe in light?"...
Yu Ningning: ...
Unwilling to even glance at her iPad, Yu Ningning quickly stated the purpose of her visit: "In three days, Director Jin will take you to a press conference. Chu He might also be there, and I plan to bring Jing Ke along. Just wear casual clothes, don't wear your usual long robes."
Upon hearing Yu Ningning mention bringing Jing Ke along, Qin Shi Huang didn't even frown. He calmly replied, "This is a trivial matter. Dean, you can decide for yourself. Why bother reporting it to me?"
Yu Ningning: ...
Okay, just pretend you weren't the coward these past few days.
Just as Yu Ningning turned and left without any politeness, two coughs and a very domineering announcement came from behind: "By the way, I heard that there is a kind of magical artifact in this world called a bulletproof vest. I have been busy with work these past few days and suddenly feel weak. I need to protect my body."
"Dean, please buy one for me."
