(Just setting the stage.)
After leaving the restaurant, Wang Han and Gu Yina bought a carriage and left Xianyang. Currently, Wang Han didn't want to do anything to change the world. As he and Gai Nie had said, he didn't need to work for anyone; what he wanted to do was up to his own will. Having come to this era of intellectual ferment, and especially to the world of Qin's Moon, where the story hadn't even begun, Wang Han planned to first experience the knowledge and ideas of the various schools of thought; otherwise, it would be a waste.
Kuina was still somewhat confused as to why such similar worlds existed—similar characters, similar histories, even identical parts in some areas. Yet, why were there so many differences in such similar worlds? However, Wang Han didn't answer Kuina's questions. Instead, he led her, following the map on the radar, towards the School of Names, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Although the School of Names didn't perform well in the anime, practically only making minor appearances and providing experience points to the protagonist, Wang Han didn't believe that the School of Names, which held a place in the Hundred Schools of Thought, lacked real ability. He suspected they were simply playing it safe.
Moreover, whether someone is capable or not depends on the type of person they are. For Wang Han, the debating skills of renowned figures are indeed beneficial. Wang Han has many topics he wants to debate with these masters, including some that have left him confused and uncertain. Perhaps after debating with them, he will no longer be confused, and maybe many of his problems can be resolved through these debates.
Seven days later, Wang Han, who had been traveling, finally arrived at the Ming family. After Wang Han took out Ying Zheng's jade pendant, the Ming family welcomed Wang Han and Gu Yina into the Ming family with the highest honors.
Nine days later, Wang Han emerged from the Ming family with a dark expression. The invincible Wang Han in this world finally experienced the feeling of defeat, and it was a series of defeats. Wang Han had to admit that although he had a broader perspective and more advanced ideas, in debate, the Ming family members were indeed better than him in verbal sparring, and their shamelessness was much stronger than Wang Han's. In the fair debate, he almost couldn't help but destroy the Ming family several times. However, Wang Han still benefited a lot from the debate.
Kuina chuckled to herself, knowing that the opportunity to see Wang Han suffer a setback was extremely rare. Before she came to this world with Wang Han after her resurrection, she had never seen him suffer a setback more than three times. This time, however, Wang Han suffered setbacks one after another, proving that he was not truly omnipotent.
Seeing Wang Han finally leave, the members of the Ming family who saw him off wiped the cold sweat from their brows. Not to mention that the aura Wang Han unleashed when provoked was terrifying, the fact that he brought the personal jade pendant of the First Emperor Ying Zheng to the Ming family made them extremely cautious. If Wang Han hadn't made it clear beforehand that they would have a fair debate and that they should find a way to win without any worries, they wouldn't even have dared to defeat Wang Han in a debate.
———————————————
Time passed day by day, and half a year went by in the blink of an eye. During this time, Wang Han traveled among the Hundred Schools of Thought, relying on the personal jade pendant of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng obtained from the mythological world or the token of the Meng family. He learned about the knowledge and ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought and took away a large number of books from the Hundred Schools of Thought he passed by.
Although Wang Han hadn't made a move in the past six months, his reputation had spread far and wide among the various schools of thought. Even Ying Zheng and the Meng family knew of this mysterious and talented individual named Wang Han, who traveled among them with their tokens, exchanging academic and philosophical ideas. Many of his pronouncements during these discussions were met with admiration and respect, surpassing even the established schools of thought and knowledge. The entire school benefited greatly, and even Ying Zheng couldn't help but admire and yearn for his great talent and wisdom. Ying Zheng not only didn't pursue the matter of Wang Han forging his personal jade pendant and flaunting it, but also, in front of Meng Tian and others in the know, removed his own jade pendant and threw it into the lake, saying, "Now that jade pendant is unique." This subtly confirmed the authenticity of the pendant in Wang Han's possession, making it clear to Meng Tian and the others that Ying Zheng meant something.
Subsequently, Ying Zheng sent many people to search for Wang Han, even using his mysterious organizations such as the Luo Wang to search for and invite Wang Han, hoping to meet with him and exchange ideas. However, despite sending many people to invite Wang Han, no one was able to bring him back. They were either too late, or they saw him but lost track of him. They couldn't even get their message to Wang Han. The only thing they got was a book about building a powerful country that Wang Han sent back through the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Although the book contained no advice, its advanced ideas enlightened Ying Zheng on many aspects of building the Qin Dynasty. He was also amazed by Wang Han's erudition, lamenting that the book was clearly unfinished, which only fueled his desire to meet and exchange ideas with Wang Han. He even had the illusion that with Wang Han's help, there was no need to worry about the remnants of the six states, or the Xiongnu and Baiyue tribes.
Meanwhile, after meeting Wang Han, Gai Nie intensified his search for Tianming's whereabouts. However, some things are predestined, especially since Tianming is the protagonist of this world, and his fate was already sealed. Without Wang Han's intervention, it was difficult to change. Although Gai Nie accelerated his search for Tianming, he was still at a loss and could not find Tianming's whereabouts for a long time.
Without Wang Han's interference, everything proceeded step by step according to the original plot in Wang Han's memory.
