Conversations Across Time: I Reveal a Thousand Years of History in the Bullet Comments

"A useless history major is livestreaming? He's probably just trying to ride King Zhou's coattails again!"

Lin Yu grips the option labeled "Di Xin (King Zhou of Shang)" on his System interface and clicks to start the livestream with a cold laugh.

As the comments call him an "attention seeker," a man in red suddenly appears on-screen. He taps a bronze wine goblet with his fingertip. "The history books say I had a 'wine pool and meat forest'? This bronze goblet can hold three bowls of millet wine. Just watch."

He flicks his sleeve, splashing the wine. In midair, the liquid forms characters in the Shang script. "I conquered the eastern Yi and expanded my territory by a thousand li, but the Zhou people smeared me as a tyrant. And the fools of later generations believed them?"

The livestream room instantly flashes white. A history professor slams the table. "That's Shang script newly unearthed at Yinxu! How does he know it?!"

"Was Jing Ke, who attempted to assassinate the First Emperor of Qin, a hero or a fool?"

When Lin Yu selects "Jing Ke" for the third time, the System warns him: "Connecting this time will incur a backlash from the forces of historical causality."

He grits his teeth and starts the livestream. On-screen, a swordsman in blue robes wipes down a dagger. The comments call him a storyteller making things up again, but Jing Ke suddenly looks up. "You think I couldn't have hit Ying Zheng?"

His fingertip traces the pattern on the dagger. "This was coated in 'Shadowbane Poison,' specially made by Xu Furen. One drop of blood and you're dead. But that day..." He sneers and points at the camera. "Half the mark left by the dagger I threw is still on a bronze pillar in the Xianyang Palace."

The archaeological team digs into the ruins of the Qin palace overnight. Beneath their probes, they really do uncover a bloodstained bronze fragment!

The whole internet goes wild: "This livestream is so outrageous, it might even rewrite the history books?!"

Then a car from the Historical Research Institute pulls up downstairs. The director holds up his phone. "Xiao Lin, who are we connecting with next time? We'd like to book a livestream and supervise the scholarship!" The comments flood the screen: "So the craziest part isn't that he can connect with people from the past. It's that he makes the history books more exciting than a wish-fulfillment novel!"
