After Traveling to Qin, the First Emperor Saw My Commentary on the Sky Screen

I'll update this one after I finish the one next door.

Ye Tang transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty and gets bound to a Favorability System that lets her exchange points for modern supplies.

She immediately rolls up her sleeves, full of enthusiasm, planning to go to Xianyang and help His Majesty, the First Emperor, build infrastructure and advance the technology tree. She'll make Qin bigger and stronger, and one day leave behind a volume titled The Biography of Ye Tang in the history books.

Unfortunately, after half a year of hard work, she still hasn't even made it out of the beginner village, Huaiyin County.

With no other options, Ye Tang decides to lie flat, exploiting a System bug to start enjoying her retirement.

What she doesn't expect is that she's a champion of doing nothing, while the System is a workaholic. After failing to persuade Ye Tang thirty-six times, it takes action itself to complete her tasks and meet its KPI.

After unifying the Six Kingdoms, a sky screen radiating a soft white glow would appear before Ying Zheng from time to time, displaying advice from an immortal.

[The Second Emperor of Qin is seriously impressive. I bow in admiration.]

Ying Zheng and the ministers in the hall were overjoyed. Great Qin was destined by heaven to rule, and even the heavens were on its side.

[Among the Seven Warring States, the old Ying family drew on the achievements of six generations and still took hundreds of years to destroy six states. But the Second Emperor needed only two and a half years on the throne to play the last state to death. Hilarious.]

Ying Zheng: ...

If he had guessed correctly, the last state Hu Hai played to death was his Great Qin.

After that, the sky screen's messages grew increasingly shocking.

[Zhao Gao is so thrifty! Instead of burying the dead Qin Shi Huang, he put him on Xianyu for resale, then took him for a spin on the Straight Road.]

[The First Emperor's already taking elixirs? He'd be better off taking some supplements. At least supplements might not be poisonous, but elixirs definitely are. With that much heavy metal in his body, he still made it to forty-nine. What a tough old bird.]

[The Milky Way is a river, and gunpowder is medicine. Gunpowder is great for your Xiongnu neighbors. So great it gets right to their hearts, and sends them straight to paradise.]

[Explosions, explosions, explosions! Saying explosions are an art means the explosions turn the Xiongnu into art students.]

[So annoying, there's another war to fight. First you fight them, then you fight them. After the Six Kingdoms, it's the barbarians. I've memorized all the accounts of the Hundred Yue and the Xiongnu, and I've prepared saddlery, cavalry tactics, schemes to sow discord, and remedies for miasma. I just need to get to Xianyang and have a long chat with Qin Shi Huang, three days and three nights if possible. Ideally, the whole world will speak Qin's language.]

[System, I want to exchange for a top-quality topographic map of the Qin Dynasty's territory.]

[Out of money again? There's a group of islands in the northeast. They have gold and silver mines.]

The sky screen didn't just offer commentary and entertainment. It also mentioned things like Champa rice, which could produce three harvests a year; wondrous devices that made fire with a puff of air; paper cheaper than silk; advanced looms and farm tools; and methods of smelting iron. Though each was described in only a few words, everyone remembered them well and longed to see them.

The immortal was coming to Xianyang. Ying Zheng and his most trusted men made meticulous preparations, ready to welcome the banished immortal to Xianyang with the utmost sincerity.

They never could have imagined that the next message on the sky screen would be:

[I've worked hard for half a year and still haven't made it out of the beginner village. Maybe I'm not cut out for hard work. I'd better not go to Xianyang. I'll stay here, lie flat, and slack off.]

The ministers: ???

Ying Zheng: !!!

No, you can't refuse to come to Xianyang! You have to come to Xianyang.

If the immortal won't come to me, I'll go to the immortal. Put all other matters on hold. I'll go welcome them myself!

Ye Tang: the Goddess of Agriculture's emissary, the Mohist deputy Juzi, a saint who saves the common people of Qin, an all-powerful immortal in the eyes of the officials, a great benefactor to the countries of the Western Regions, a kind friend to the neighboring states, and, to the Xiongnu, the most stern and terrifying devil of all!

Updates follow the rankings before signing; daily updates afterward (if I can get a contract).

An infrastructure-building story with a little food storyline mixed in, pairing with Han Xin.

The heroine never loses her cover. In Ying Zheng's eyes, in those of officials and commoners, and in the history books, she is a goddess descended from the immortal realm to save the mortal world.

Theme: Build infrastructure and strengthen the nation.
