I, Qin Shi Huang, Need Money

Chapter comments are now open.

Rolling around and begging you to bookmark my new novel: Fighting for the Great Qin's National Destiny

In 238 BC, on Blue Star, Ying Zheng of Qin came of age and began ruling in his own right. One night before the ceremony, he listened to two hours of little love songs and was in high spirits. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work, planning to kill Lü Buwei first, then chop down the fake eunuch in the palace.

He got so happy that he drank a little too much. When he got up to use the chamber pot, a falling brick hit him on the head.

When he woke up again, a transparent panel had appeared before his eyes.

A row of eye-catching words on the panel read: Want to become the coolest kid around and conquer the stars and seas? Join the livestream and win big prizes. You could be king of the world!

The stars and seas!

The world!

From then on, the distant APTX-4869 Super Bear Constellation livestream System had one very unusual streamer.

Other streamers begged for tips by acting cute, pouting, and pleading with their audience.

But this streamer's style was entirely different:

--I don't have enough money to build chariots. Send money!

Of course, Your Majesty. Is that enough? If not, I'll go earn some more!

--It's getting cold. The neighboring Han should be conquered. Send money!

Of course, Your Majesty. Shall we take Yan along, too?

--A figurine I made of myself, on sale for cheap.

Buy, buy, buy! If you don't buy, you're not one of His Majesty's kids!

--This is the realm I drew in a lucky pull, an SSR!

Gasp, gasp, gasp! Your Majesty is so lucky~~

--His Majesty and his realm are getting married. Wedding gifts...

Of course, Your Majesty. Here's your gift--Damn it! Where did this little minx come from?

This story takes place in a fictional setting. This is not the Ying Zheng from real human history, but one from a parallel world, so the ages of historical figures may differ from the original.

Characters whose ages have been changed: Li Si appears as a young man around Ying Zheng's age. Meng Tian and Meng Yi appear as boys, and are much younger than Ying Zheng.

Coming soon: Fighting for the Great Qin's National Destiny

↓↓↓↓↓

In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, the First Emperor was critically ill.

A sky screen descended and locked onto the territory of Qin.

[Ding-dong--A dynasty on the brink of collapse has been detected. Locking onto characters--Welcome to the National Destiny Game! Fight for your dynasty!]

[Ding-dong--Your game contact, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, is in critical condition. Countdown: 23:59, 23:58...]

[Ding-dong--Players must do their utmost to keep their contact alive and well, or risk losing their game eligibility. Go, people of Qin!]

The people of Qin: What?!

The First Emperor fell ill while on a tour at Pingyuan Ford, and the whole of Qin was dragged into an infinite game.

If they lost even one game, Qin would be destroyed.

The surviving people of the Six States were overjoyed at the news, and got ready to lie flat and wait for Qin to fall.

But there was bad news:

Their household registrations were all under Qin. If Qin fell, they would end up enslaved by another world, too.

The survivors of the Six States: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

For the sake of survival and freedom, they had no choice but to work hard and fight for Qin's national destiny!

Survivors of the Six States: Don't get the wrong idea. I'm only working hard for myself! I'll rebel again once we're out of the game!
