In 230 BCE, after conquering Han, Ying Zheng's next target was Zhao.
But this was where the turning point for him and Qin came.
A strange little yellow bird dropped from the sky and spoke, claiming to be his descendant and to have come to change the fate of him and Qin.
Ying Zheng: “?”
His descendant was a bird?
Ying Zheng: “Can you make me immortal?”
Ying Luan: “Uh... not right now.”
Ying Zheng: “Then what use are you?”
Ying Luan: “Brother Zheng, just complete the missions issued by the System and you'll get rewards!”
Ying Zheng: “What could I possibly want that I don't already have?”
Ying Luan: “High-yield seeds, papermaking, a method for making salt, a map of the world's mineral resources...”
Ying Zheng: “Mine, mine, it's all mine!”
Ying Luan: “Brother Zheng, you can use the points you earn to draw prizes. A ten-pull guarantees a legendary reward. They're all good things you don't have!”
Ying Zheng: “Draw!”
Ying Luan: “Brother Zheng, I've unlocked the dungeon feature. Shall we go run one?”
Ying Zheng: “What's a dungeon?”
First dungeon: Let's All Go Mining!
Ying Zheng: “You expect me to go mining?”
Ying Luan: “Everything you dig up is yours. There's gold, silver, diamonds, and all kinds of valuable treasures. So, are you going?”
Ying Zheng: “Ahem... It's not about the money. I just want to see what this so-called dungeon is like.”
After he came out, he was hooked!
Ying Zheng: “More dungeons! Give me more!”
Ever since he bound himself to the System, Ying Zheng has been charging headlong down the road of completing missions, earning points, drawing prizes, running dungeons, and collecting rewards. No one can drag him back.
Wei Zhuang, Xiong Qi, Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Wang Wan, Feng Quji: “Your Majesty, we're begging you, take us along!”
A few years later, the five kingdoms discovered that the Qin next door had become increasingly bizarre.
First, their granaries filled with high-yield crops. Then their weapons grew more and more powerful, and the old Qin soldiers seemed to have become immortals, using all sorts of magical arts to beat them to a pulp.
Ying Zheng stood on the back of a divine phoenix, lightning wrapped around him as he looked down on them like a heavenly god. They couldn't summon the slightest urge to resist.
The kings of the five kingdoms overturned their tables. “Damn it! We agreed to fail together, and you went ahead without us?!”
The Records of Great Qin states: In the seventeenth year of King Zheng of Qin, a severe drought struck Longxi Commandery. King Zheng went there to pray for rain. His sincerity moved Heaven, and sweet rain fell from the sky. A divine phoenix arrived as well, submitting to King Zheng and becoming Qin's guardian beast. From then on, Qin enjoyed favorable weather, grew wealthy and strong, and ultimately swept across the six kingdoms to become the hegemon of the Central Plains.
Unofficial folk histories claim: The First Emperor never took an empress, but kept a bird by his side and doted on it every day. Not even Crown Prince Fusu could rival its place in his heart. Come on in and read all about their epic love story!
Tips:
1. This story is set in a fictional world and includes many original details that don't match real history. The dialogue is also very colloquial, so don't expect historical accuracy.
2. Ying Luan is female. Ying Zheng will eventually use points to exchange for a human body for her, but while she's a bird, everyone will refer to her as “it.”
3. The characters will definitely be out of character, the plot will be a mess, and the writing won't be anything special. Please don't flame me, okay?
4. The System has a ton of features. The dungeons draw on all kinds of modern, ancient, and Western settings, so it's a big mash-up.
5. The whole story is a lighthearted slice-of-life farming chronicle. Just read it for fun!

It's so funny. I hope I can play with Zhang Han in the future. After all, he is a bit miserable compared to other generals.
"Twenty-Four Alpacas" caught the author a big bug ~
240,000 alpacas
In fact, during the Qin Dynasty, the Loess Plateau was still rich in water and grass, and Guanzhong areas like Xianyang, Xi'an, etc. Were also fertile and tree-lined for thousands of miles. The reason why the northwest is now dry is due to climate change. The average temperature during the Han and Tang Dynasties was higher than it is now. There were still wild elephants in Henan at that time, and there were sporadic records of wild elephants in the Northern Song Dynasty. The other reason is because of excessive deforestation by humans. Large-scale deforestation and development in the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, and vegetation destruction on the Loess Plateau reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
During the Qin Dynasty, sauces made from various insects were actually popular, which had a strong taste. It is said that frogs are used to make sauce, but I don't know how to make it.
