Chapter 82 Extra Chapter: The Cultural Relics Have Become Spirits (Part 2)
Lu Qian suddenly turned her head to look at Liu Xiao, who looked back at her with a blank expression.
Lu Qian was certain; it seemed only she could hear the voice, and she was incredibly excited.
She wondered if her cheat code for time travel had finally arrived, and whether a newbie like her who had just gotten the system could drive away these aliens.
Hearing the demands made her think these aliens were no good people, and the name "human tax" disgusted her even more.
She quickly asked in her mind: "[System, is that you? Waaaaa, my long-lost treasure system, you still know to come looking for me, waaaaaah, I'm so touched...]"
"Pfft..."
"Is this kind of thing popular now?" The voice chuckled softly, but there was no sarcasm in its tone. Instead, Lu Qian strangely detected a hint of doting in it. "Was this the usual style in your previous world? Then you can just think of me as some kind of system..."
Lu Qian's cheeks flushed slightly. It really felt like someone was whispering in her ear. She touched her pounding heart and silently repeated: First of all, I'm not a lesbian; secondly, I'm not a lesbian...
[The task has been issued; please complete it as soon as possible.]
This time, bright, light gold characters gradually appeared before her eyes. Lu Qian looked at her friends' expressions and found that only she could see them.
She figured she couldn't be hallucinating both, so she gritted her teeth and believed the 'person' who hadn't actually appeared.
Because of her body's instinctive reaction to the female voice, and seeing the mission reward, Lu Qian recalled the history lessons she had previously taken.
How lucky she was to stumble upon national consciousness? Why didn't she go to the government? Why didn't she just appear in public? Doesn't history record that national consciousness can be seen, it just needs a medium...?
Is it really such a coincidence that we appeared at the same time as aliens...? Lu Qian struggled to maintain her last bit of vigilance.
Oh, by the way, paper books were phased out in 819 AD. Now it's 1111 AD. Three hundred years later, paper books only exist in large libraries or museums. Very few people still have paper books at home.
Lu Qian tried to explain part of it in her mind, but there were still some questions she didn't understand. However, her body betrayed her, so she turned on the light screen and prepared to take a flight to the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum.
"My current situation makes it inconvenient..."
Lu Qian suddenly realized something and immediately filled in many blanks in her mind. She quickly cheered herself up and became very determined. The most unscientific country in the world has already appeared. Why should she be afraid of not being able to defeat mere aliens?
"Qianqian, where are you going?"
“I need to take a taxi to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum,” Lu Qian answered Liu Xiao’s question very quickly, then frowned as she looked at the screen in her hand. The screen was also playing the words of the Luke aliens on a loop, and she couldn’t even manage to hail a taxi. “What should I do? This screen just won’t work…”
"Qianqian, what are you doing at the museum?" Liu Xiao asked, puzzled. Surely there weren't any weapons to use at the museum...
“You might not believe it, but…” Lu Qian held Liu Xiao’s hands and whispered mysteriously, “Motherland just contacted me. She wants me to go to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum.”
After a pause, Lu Qian continued, "Xiaoxiao, I remember your family bought you a car. Where is it now?"
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, her mind a little confused. If aliens had appeared in one day, it would be reasonable for the motherland to come to the rescue. Most importantly, Liu Xiao believed that Lu Qian would not lie to her.
She said, "Come with me, my car is still at home, I need to get back quickly."
Lu Qian knew that Liu Xiao's house was nearby, so she nodded and followed her. The two of them ran towards Liu Xiao's house.
****
Soon, Liu Xiao sped off with Lu Qian to the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum. The two swiped their ID cards at the museum gate and entered without paying.
At this moment, Lu Qian saw an arrow formed by light gold in her line of sight. She pulled Liu Xiao and followed the direction of the arrow, and soon arrived in front of a display case.
As early as a hundred years ago, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was developed for protection. The bronze sword in this display case is said to have been brought out from the main burial chamber.
This bronze sword has beautiful patterns, but it has no name. The scrolling text next to the display case also shows the words "Nameless Sword".
Zhu Qing'ai stood concealed beside the two. She had only come temporarily, but luckily she had left some points here back then, otherwise she would have had to spend even more points.
The energy accumulated over a thousand years is enormous, and coupled with her discovery that her subprogram does indeed tend to merge with the concept of national consciousness, she is not in a hurry at all.
She is now using the energy of a thousand years as a starting point, mobilizing the will of all humanity in the country to unite, and all the warships on it will be reduced to ashes by her.
She had already politely asked the other party, so it wasn't her fault that she stayed here and died.
****
Let's rewind ten minutes.
Zhu Qing'ai directly seized the communication channels between the Luke aliens and the various governments on the planet, which the aliens had specifically left behind. Therefore, what these aliens saw was...
The ancient Qin government firmly rejected their demands, declaring that they would not use anyone as a resource to the enemy in order to survive.
Finally, a dignified woman appeared in the frame and politely asked them to leave the solar system immediately, or she would be impolite.
General Rook, far from being afraid, sized up the woman in the image, assuming she was a high-ranking government official, and brazenly declared, "Once humanity submits, bring her here. I want her."
Zhu Qing'ai showed no anger upon hearing this. Instead, she chuckled softly and looked at the aliens with pity. Then, the screen flickered and the communication channel between them was instantly cut off: "Hehe."
"General, this..."
"What's the point of them destroying their own equipment? They're just fooling themselves and continuing to broadcast prepared footage on their media."
"yes!"
****
Inside the museum, Zhu Qing'ai instructed Lu Qian: "Raise your hand and point it at that sword."
Although a thousand years had passed, adhering to the principle of never revealing her identity, she still wrote a simple script, and all the actors were present, waiting for her to begin...
Lu Qian obediently raised her hand. There were few tourists in the museum at the moment, but the patrolling robot noticed the situation and its programmed settings alerted it. A pillar-shaped intelligent machine quickly moved toward them using its eight wheels.
A slightly stiff, mechanical voice sounded: "Excuse me, how can I help you?"
As it spoke, the bronze sword emitted a golden light and trembled violently inside the specially designed protective display case.
Lu Qian's pupils trembled as well. She knew that she had only raised her hand and hadn't done anything. Moreover, the display case was specially made so that even if there was an earthquake, the items inside would not shake at all.
With a sword's cry, the sword inside the display case swung through the air, cleaving the case in two, and then flew to Lu Qian's side in a flash, hovering in mid-air, bobbing up and down as if waiting for her to reach out and grasp the hilt.
"Wear it at your waist."
Lu Qian gripped the hilt of the bronze sword with trembling hands. Although there was no place to wear a sword at her waist, she still tried to attach the bronze sword to her waist.
As she wore it, the sword shrank, becoming at least no longer just over 1.5 meters long.
Liu Xiao's mouth was so wide it could have swallowed an egg. She looked at the broken display case, then at the bronze sword worn at her friend's waist.
This display case wouldn't break even if bombarded, yet it was shattered by a bronze artifact sword.
Liu Xiao: Huh?
"...This doesn't make sense...I've wasted my time studying materials science...Huh? Huh? Huh?"
The intelligent machine over there clearly couldn't understand the situation either; the projection above its head had changed from a wary emoticon to a question mark.
A small screen, a big question mark.
Taking advantage of the moment when the AI malfunctioned, Lu Qian quickly grabbed her friend Liu Xiao's hand and ran outside.
Fortunately, the Luke aliens had locked down all the high-tech products and buildings, so no machine guards came to chase them. The only old relic that was still running had briefly crashed behind them.
Lu Qian easily dragged her friend out of the museum. After putting Liu Xiao in the driver's seat, she sat in the passenger seat herself, and didn't forget to pat her friend's cheek: "Wake up, drive!"
If they don't leave soon, the human police will come and arrest them!
Liu Xiao started the car: "Where to?"
"Go to the National Temple."
Lu Qian repeated, "Go to the National Temple."
Liu Xiao stepped on the gas, and the car took off, flying along the road marked in mid-air towards the National Temple.
Having already told Liu Xiao, she didn't mince words and asked directly, "Motherland, are we going to use this sword to defeat the aliens?"
Liu Xiao pricked up her ears.
Zhu Qing'ai, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and replied, "Of course not. Gu Zhao's Sheji Sword is for protecting you. I don't use it."
Oh, Gu Zhao...
Wait a minute, why is the Zhao State's Sheji Sword buried in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum? And this sword is obviously not ordinary!
Hearing his friend's doubts, Liu Xiao dismissed them, saying, "Isn't it normal for things looted by Motherland to be in the First Emperor's tomb? What's so strange about that?"
Lu Qian then realized she had asked the question aloud, and she coughed, "My history isn't as good as yours, is it?"
To everyone's surprise, the motherland denied Liu Xiao's "reasonable" statement, saying, "This sword was given to Zheng'er by 'Zhao,' not something I stole."
Lu Qian: !! This is even more shocking!
However, there was no time to discuss this with Liu Xiao at that moment, because the police were chasing after them in a car.
Her friend was crying and saying to her, "Waaah, I never thought I'd be chased by the police in my life. Qianqian, do you think we'll end up in jail as soon as we get off the bus?"
Lu Qian: ……
Motherland, sob sob sob, she wants to cry too!
As the two women had tears in their eyes and heard laughter around them, they also heard the police shouting behind them: "Don't take any chances, stop the car immediately, hand over the cultural relics and surrender!"
She screamed as she slammed on the gas pedal.
