Chapter 397 The world is stable and the people have self-respect!
Chu Feng looked left and right as he walked.
The street vendors, pedestrians, merchants in ancient costumes, and even the Confucian scholars reading by lamplight at night... all seem to exist in reality.
The light and shadow are not floating in the air, but seem to be standing right in front of you!
And these faces are alive and breathing
"Can this be mass-produced? Is Whale Leap so powerful now?"
Chu Feng whispered softly,
The barrage is all in the wild brush:
"I feel like these are just atmosphere groups, the focus must be on the big guys!"
"Yeah, Whale Leap must have prepared some historical interactive Easter eggs!"
"Brother Chu, please take a closer look!"
"But these passersby seem very real. It seems that every passerby can be clicked?"
"Brother Chu, just pick someone and try it out!"
Chu Feng's heart moved, and he walked to a middle-aged man who was drinking tea and nodded.
The next second, the middle-aged man turned and smiled at him, his voice calm:
"It's windy tonight. Would you like to take advantage of the moonlight to go for a leisurely stroll?"
Chu Feng’s eyes widened!
"No way? It can actually talk? Is it AI-generated?"
The middle-aged man put down the teacup and continued:
"Your clothing is not of the style of our dynasty. Could it be from somewhere else? If it's not the work of an alchemist, then it must be that of a distinguished individual."
“…Fuck, we’re actually chatting!”
The barrage exploded instantly:
"Is this a randomly triggered conversation?"
"Such natural language! Isn't it the same template?"
Chu Feng took a deep breath and said directly:
"I...I'll try asking something outrageous."
"Which dynasty are you from? What's your name?"
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and smiled.
"I don't remember the year I was born. My surname is Lin and my given name is Yi. I live in Wuzhong. I was originally a commoner, but I became addicted to reading at night. I happened to come here and forgot when I would return."
"...Is that what a normal person would say? Are you putting it on hold?"
Chu Feng became suspicious and began to scan the crowd.
Right at this moment!
At the end of the street, a heavy drum sounded.
The air seemed to be shattered, and the crowd all made way, revealing a stone path in the middle of the street.
Chu Feng held his breath.
In the shadows in the distance, a team of black-armored warriors slowly appeared. Their armor was thick, and the black metallic luster seemed to swallow up the lights.
Amid the crowd's gasps, a figure slowly walked out.
He was wearing dark golden armor, his eyes were as cold as a knife,
His face was angular and there was an air of unparalleled majesty between his brows.
Even if it was just an illusion created by projection, the aura of looking down on all living beings made people feel their chest tighten instinctively.
Chu Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and his breathing almost stopped:
“… Holy shit! Is this… Qin Shi Huang?!”
The barrage exploded instantly:
"The greatest emperor of all time!!!"
"Holy crap!!! Is this the Ying Zheng I was thinking of?!"
“???”
Chu Feng just felt his scalp tingling.
He knew that this was a virtual experience, but at that moment, it seemed as if the entire street was shrouded by that person.
Soon, the black-armored warriors on the opposite side slowly dispersed.
Ying Zheng walked out slowly.
He was not as busy as the others, but instead had an exuding aura that made people automatically avoid him.
There were several people surrounding him from behind, but no one dared to speak.
Chu Feng swallowed his saliva.
He walked in that direction.
Getting closer.
Closer.
Chu Feng's Adam's apple rolled.
"Brothers, should I...should I kneel?"
Barrage explosion:
"Don't kneel! We stood up a long time ago!"
"Brother Chu, calm down! Look straight ahead! We modern people are no less imposing!"
"Don't lose face, be honest! Just ask him if he can pay me back the small loan he got from me before!"
"No, brother, Qin Shi Huang really asked you for money!"
Chu Feng took a breath and had no time to deal with the comments.
far away,
The figure seemed to have noticed it long ago.
"you--"
A low voice came.
Ying Zheng slowly turned his head, looked directly at Chu Feng, and said word by word:
"You are not from my time, nor are you a messenger, nor an assassin. Your aura is mixed, like a dream."
"Where...are you from?"
Chu Feng's mind buzzed!
This tone!
This expression!
Even... this pressure!
Not acting!
It was an imperial aura that permeated the entire night.
The barrage went crazy:
"Whale Leap is crazy! This isn't acting anymore, is it? This is simply a re-creation!"
"This is what a national treasure actor can be like..."
"Brother Chu, don't be a coward!"
Chu Feng swallowed stiffly.
Bite the bullet and try to keep your voice steady:
"My name is Chu Feng, a person from the future."
"In the future..."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and an indescribable look flashed in his eyes.
He walked forward slowly, his footsteps echoing in the street.
"I have unified the six kingdoms, with a common script and a common wheel gauge. Will there be chaos in your future generations?"
Chu Feng's heart trembled.
Why don’t you speak in plain language!
He immediately followed up,
"...There are times of chaos, but there are also times of prosperity. The great unification you created laid the foundation for a thousand years."
Ying Zheng stared at him for a long time with his eyes sharp, and suddenly he let out a deep laugh:
"Haha... My life has not been in vain. My ambition is not in vain."
"well……"
Chu Feng's heart was pounding and sweat was dripping down his back.
He felt like he was meeting an emperor.
Across from him, Ying Zheng looked up at the moon, and after a long moment, he continued:
"Everyone says I am cruel, but after a thousand years, will the world remain as unified as before? Will there be anyone like me?"
"Since you remember my name, you should know my intentions."
He slowly turned his head, looked at Chu Feng intently, and whispered:
"If you can really see the future, please tell me."
"After me... is there anyone else who can be crowned emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room was boiling to the point of exploding!
Chu Feng felt like he was woken up by a basin of cold water!
He finally realized one thing: this was not simply "talking to historical figures for fun."
Instead, Jingyue, through the Starship + interactive system, really built the thinking + language + personality model + behavioral logic of these "characters"!
Even if he is not the "real Ying Zheng".
But he is indeed the "reflection of Ying Zheng" in a sense!
Not an NPC!
Not AI!
It’s not a history class either!
It’s a whole new narrative experience!
"This...this is crazy."
“How does whale watching work?”
"I'm not an expert on games, am I? Why do I feel like I can't understand anything today?"
"Am I really a white guy?"
Chu Feng whispered:
"have."
"Just... no longer claiming to be emperor."
Ying Zheng was indifferent.
"oh?"
"Then... who is the head of the family?"
Chu Feng took a deep breath.
"After a thousand years, the world will be unified."
"The shores of the South China Sea, the summit of the Snow Region, the northern frontier, the water towns of the south... all belong to one country."
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly froze.
“No longer will the people kneel, and the life of one man no longer depends on the lives of all.”
"We no longer respect the emperor."
“We put people first.”
The air was extremely quiet.
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the bright moon in the sky.
"Then my life...is ultimately paving the way for future generations."
"Although I will not be crowned emperor...but if the world is at peace, the people will have self-respect..."
It's hard to tell whether his tone was one of emotion or relief.
There was a long silence.
Ying Zheng spoke again.
"Since you, the people of later generations, are able to speak to me, I will ask you again: What I seek is a foundation that will last for all eternity. Can you, the people of today, continue this?"
Chu Feng held his breath, his thoughts racing.
This is so vivid!
He thought about the Internet, aerospace, interstellar exploration, and how human beings in this era should continue to explore.
He answered in a low but firm voice:
"Yes. Despite all the hardships, humanity has never stopped. Your legacy, transformed into bloodlines and civilization, continues to this day."
A hint of coldness flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, which then turned into a hearty laugh.
"Good! I am satisfied! You, the future generations, will not lose the aspirations of our ancestors!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it, and the lights on the entire street seemed to tremble.
The black-armored warriors all shook their halberds, the sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami:
"Eternal Qin Emperor!!"
Chu Feng only felt his eardrums buzzing and he almost fell to his knees.
He forced himself to growl with a flushed face:
“Awesome!!”
The barrage is completely crazy:
"I have goosebumps all over my body ahh ...
"Whale Leap is historical immersion + interactive reproduction!!"
"Brother Chu, calm down! You talked to Qin Shi Huang!!"
"What kind of technology did you guys put in there, Whale Leap? My scalp is numb!"
"This thing is so effective! It's so oppressive!"
Ying Zheng stared at him, his eyes so deep that they seemed to penetrate into his heart.
After a long while, he revealed a smile that seemed almost relieved:
"The merits and demerits, right and wrong, will be judged by future generations."
"This prosperous age, as you said... I can no longer see it."
"But if that's the case..."
"Very good."
This sentence hit me like a bell.
The streets were suddenly silent.
The live broadcast room has gone completely crazy.
"Fuck, I'm crying!"
"I don't care now, Xingzhou has placed the order!"
"This Whale Leap wave is too fierce, it will go viral!"
"With this thing, I won't get full marks in history!"
"I feel like the pressure from the First Emperor is still too great!"
History has never been so vivid.
Games have never been so shocking.
