The number one occupational hazard for employees at major corporations is overwork, which can lead to death. Qiao Ke ended up caught in that trend, commonly known as "dropping dead from overwork."
Her vision went black as she said goodbye to this world. But none of the veterans who'd been through this before had told her that opening her eyes again would mean starting off transmigrated!
Below the mountain, two armies were locked in battle. The ground was covered in a bloody mess, with no mosaic censoring whatsoever. Qiao Ke was so overwhelmed that she landed and threw up all over the place. At the same time, the standard transmigration starter pack appeared in her mind: her golden finger.
[Ding! Weather Forecast System 007 will now provide your report.]
[Real-time weather at the Battle of Yiyang Gorge during the Qin campaign against Han (Yiyang in ancient times, now Yiyang County, Luoyang, Henan Province)]
Current wind speed: 4 on the Beaufort scale through the gorge (about 7.2 m/s). The Qin crossbow formation should calibrate arrow deflection by +3 degrees. The Han chariots should fit their horses with windproof eye covers.
Today's temperature: low of -1°C (frost will form on the valley floor at 3 to 5 a.m.), high of 11°C (sunlight will fall directly on the cliffs around noon). The wind through the gorge will make it feel like -4°C. (Both armies' soldiers are advised to wrap their hands in hemp cloth to prevent frostbite.)
Sunset: shortly after 5 p.m. The sun will sink along the ridge of the main peak of the Xiaoshan Mountains. Han ambushers should light their signal fires in advance.
Wind warning: In two hours, the wind will shift to the southwest at force 3 (5.8 m/s). Qin fire-attack units should adjust their incendiary bag throwing angle to 15 degrees east of north.
Chance of precipitation: 68% (sleet and ice pellets in the early afternoon, with snow reaching a depth of 2 cm on the valley floor, affecting the Han chariots' ability to turn.)
UV index: 2 (thick clouds overhead. Qin scouts don't need to apply cinnabar sunscreen.)
Humidity: 91% (breath will form visible ice-crystal mist. Bronze weapons should be wrapped in deerskin to prevent slipping, and wounds are more likely to develop tetanus in the damp cold.)
Atmospheric pressure: 975 hPa (low pressure will linger, increasing blood loss from wounded Han soldiers by 30%. Mugwort hemostatic soup should be prepared in advance.)
[Bonus information in the beginner's gift pack]
Terrain warning: Signs of falling rocks will appear on the north slope. Qin siege troops should avoid the hours from 10 a.m. to noon, when sunlight softens the rock face.
The iron content in the stream at the bottom of the valley is too high. Both armies should get drinking water from the mountain spring 300 meters upstream.
A mirage will appear this afternoon. Both armies' shamans are advised to suspend divination to avoid undermining morale.
Qiao Ke: Great, I've landed on a Warring States battlefield. This is even more thrilling than a battle royale.
I've started out right in the middle of the order in which my fascinating ancestors conquered the six states.
Han is doomed, and so am I!!!
Blurb 1:
With her weather forecast System, Qiao Ke becomes the goddess of legend, sent by the Mandate of Heaven to help the Qin Emperor conquer the six states. The people of the six states feel wronged, but have no choice but to accept their fate.
The campaign to conquer Han begins in 230 BCE. In less than ten years, the Qin Emperor will unify the six states, and the goddess will have to leave.
Qin Emperor: "Goddess, why not stay and witness the unification of the land? This dynasty will need your heavenly prophecies to enjoy lasting peace and stability."
But the goddess is set on leaving. How could mortals decide whether an immortal stays or goes? In the end, not a trace of the goddess Qiao Ke remains across the vast territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Qiao Ke: "Phew, that ancestor isn't easy to fool! 007, pick a less difficult dynasty next time."
007: "Certainly, Master. I'll select the destination for your next forecast."
When she lands again, she hears 007's report in her ear.
After listening, Qiao Ke rolls her eyes so hard they nearly vanish.
"The Jingkang Incident? And you call that an easy difficulty?"
