The day Qi Shi finally worked up the courage to create a self-insert character in Stardew Valley with her friend, she and Cheng Xunyun transmigrated together.
Bad news: They had no idea which mountaintop they'd ended up on, and they were getting soaked in a thunderstorm.
Good news: The Stardew Valley System was still there.
Qi Shi: "Does it always rain this hard at the summit?"
Cheng Xunyun: "Wake up. You haven't even gotten the Perfection achievement."

The rain was pouring at the summit, but they had obtained a lightning rod and a Rain Totem.
Cheng Xunyun double-clicked the Rain Totem. "At this point, let the storm rage even harder!"
Qi Shi whooped excitedly, holding up the lightning rod to attract lightning and make batteries.
Amid the howling rain, the two heard a rustling sound behind them.
They turned around and saw a long line of people climbing the mountain in the rain.
Before they could say anything, lightning struck.

As Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng climbed Mount Tai to perform the fengshan sacrifice, a storm broke out on his way down. The Confucian scholars mocked him, saying he should never have performed the sacrifice on Mount Tai. But Qin Shi Huang remained unmoved, and at the summit he witnessed a goddess undergoing a trial.
From then on, the Qin Dynasty entered a frenzied new era, where agriculture drove progress while industry and services thrived side by side, and the economy and culture flourished together.
