Sky Screen: Giving Our Ancestors a Little Modern-Day Shock

Historical livestream | wild ideas | comedy | System | making up for regrets

What would happen if you accidentally showed Qin Shi Huang a modern college student's “special forces-style trip”?

Su Yun binds himself to the Myriad Worlds Short Video System. He lies flat and watches videos every day, but they are livestreamed to the sky screens of every dynasty. At first, the ancients watch just for fun. Until

Watching [Special Forces-Style Travel], they see college students visit three cities in 30 hours and walk 30,000 steps in a day. Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, slams the table and leaps to his feet: “These are elite troops! If I had soldiers who could march that fast, the Xiongnu would be nothing to fear!” The next second, he sees a college student climb Mount Tai, then arrive at the hospital in a wheelchair. Ying Zheng: “...I take that back. This person's constitution is worse than my alchemists’.”

Watching [Grandpa Yuan Longping and Hybrid Rice], they see yields of 2,000 jin per mu. The flatbread drops from Zhu Yuanzhang's hand. Li Shimin is so jealous he wants to reach through the screen and steal some. Yongzheng throws down his hoe and bursts into tears: “With such divine grain, how could anyone in the world ever starve to death?!”

Watching [The Evolution of the World Map], they see that the Qin Empire's territory is barely the size of a fingernail on the globe. Ying Zheng falls silent, then quietly draws his Tai'a sword: “Xu Fu, forget the elixir of immortality. Build me ships! I want to see if those American potatoes are any good!”

To win the title of best video viewer, Zhu Di puts on a live performance of “beating up his own son,” just to get Su Yun to play one more [Industrial Revolution] video.
