I, the Chaos Being, joined the chat group at the start.

"Anyway, there's no time limit right now, so I'll wait a bit longer."

Xu Yi temporarily put the sign-in task on hold.

The Great Way Chat Group.

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "Master Xu, fellow group members, I have triggered a special quest and need your help!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng sent a message in the group.

……

P.S.: Please follow along while it's still in its new release period.

Chapter 19 The Ideal World, the King Has Arrived

The Great Way Chat Group.

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "This is the mission. Does anyone have any good strategies?"

Ying Zheng briefly explained his situation; in fact, he had triggered a special chat group quest.

This mission detected that in the coming year, the Qin Dynasty will suffer a severe drought, resulting in a very poor harvest and the death of many people. Without food, the people will starve to death, resorting to cannibalism, or even being instigated by malicious individuals to launch riots.

The task was to prevent too many people in the Qin Dynasty from starving to death due to the drought, and to hope that Ying Zheng could reduce the losses caused by the drought so that many people could survive.

The higher the completion rate of the task, the higher the points you will receive.

However, even though Ying Zheng was the emperor, he couldn't change the natural disasters of this magnitude. At most, he could ensure that the people around Xianyang, near Qin, had enough to eat and wouldn't starve to death.

In addition, due to underdeveloped transportation and low productivity, Ying Zheng was unable to reach other regions of the Qin Dynasty.

Now that the mission has been triggered, Ying Zheng is definitely aiming to complete it perfectly. If he can obtain a large number of points, he might be able to get the elixir of immortality, or at the very least extend his lifespan.

Ying Zheng couldn't do it on his own, but he could utilize resources from other worlds.

Moreover, as an emperor, it would be utterly useless to watch his people starve to death without food.

Wu Dang Wang Ye: "This task seems quite humane? In ancient times, when natural disasters and droughts occurred, the people indeed suffered from crop failure and had no surplus food, so they could only go hungry. Ultimately, it was due to low productivity and too few types of food that could be grown!"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "I also envy the people of the 21st century who can eat their fill and stay warm."

Xu Yi: "Since we have a year, we can import some high-yield grain crops from modern times, as well as food that can withstand harsh environments and continue to grow!"

Wudang Wang Ye: "Brother Xu Yi is right, but the ancient growing environment can't increase the yield per mu, so we need to add some fertilizer to improve it."

Xu Yi: "Just in case, we can stockpile some modern supplies in advance, Ying Zheng."

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "Master Xu, I am willing to spend an equivalent amount of money to purchase the supplies."

Xu Yi: "Okay."

Wudang Wang Ye: "Perfect, the problem is perfectly solved."

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "I am extremely grateful."

……

The Qin Dynasty world, Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace.

Through the red envelope function of the Dadao chat group, Xu Yi sent Ying Zheng a lot of supplies and some high-yield crops.

Although Xu Yi is a cultivator, he is also a company owner in modern times and will soon be listed on the stock exchange, so purchasing these supplies is very easy for him.

These supplies are stored in the chat group's space. Each member has an initial built-in space that can hold a lot of things. The space is quite large, and members can use points to increase the space size later.

Ying Zheng opened one of the many red envelopes, which contained mostly modern snacks.

For example, instant noodles, ham, spicy strips, soft drinks, and also Maotai and Huazi cigarettes!

Ying Zheng glanced at the instructions and couldn't wait to try out the product from the 21st century.

It was already late at night. The eunuchs had been dismissed by Ying Zheng, and there was no one around except Gai Nie, who silently waited in the shadows.

Ying Zheng summoned Gai Nie and asked him to use his internal energy to boil a pot of water and then prepare two buckets of instant noodles.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Gai Nie looked at the strange modern packaging with a serious expression, mainly because he was afraid that the thing might be poisonous.

"This dish is called instant noodles, which, as the name suggests, is noodles soaked in hot water," Ying Zheng explained.

“Listening to His Majesty’s words is like listening to a lecture,” Gai Nie said quietly.

Ying Zheng was so focused on his instant noodles that he was like a child, his eyes shining, that he didn't pay attention to what Gai Nie was saying.

Soon, the instant noodles were ready, steaming hot, emitting white steam, and smelling delicious.

"Eat," Ying Zheng said.

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie sat down next to Ying Zheng, looking at the instant noodles that had just started to cook. They did indeed smell quite delicious.

Ying Zheng picked up a small skewer with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. In this era before the abundance of seasonings and artificial flavorings, the moment it entered his mouth, Ying Zheng felt his taste buds explode. His eyes widened, and he quickly ate a few more bites, praising:

"Okay, okay!"

Gai Nie took a bite, and his pupils shrank as well. He hadn't expected the instant noodles to taste so unique, tantalizing his taste buds so much that he couldn't stop eating them.

The emperor and his minister silently ate instant noodles, and in a short while each of them ate seven or eight bowls. They were a little full, but very satisfied.

"This is what life is like for people in later generations. The people of later generations are so lucky. Even if they eat instant noodles every day, it would still be wonderful," Ying Zheng exclaimed.

He knew that the world that followed would change rapidly and become a new world.

However, due to their limited perspective, they still cannot imagine what the good days of later generations will be like.

How wonderful it would be if the people of Qin could eat a bucket of instant noodles every day.

"Your Majesty, where did this instant noodle come from? Why have I never seen it before?" Gai Nie asked.

"Gai Nie, if I told you that these are things that the people of the future will be able to eat, would you believe me?" Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie.

Gai Nie's expression changed slightly. "If the people of the future could eat these, that would be such a blessing. It would truly be an incredibly wonderful world."

As they were talking, Gai Nie noticed a stack of books next to a pile of instant noodles.

He couldn't help but tear open the packaging and take out a book to read.

The cover had the words "Basic Physics Theory" written on it, but Gai Nie didn't recognize the words. He just thought they looked a little familiar and could roughly understand their meaning.

He then flipped through the book, but Gai Nie only understood a fraction of it, recognizing some of the characters. He gasped and sighed.

"The creator of this book is truly a genius, unparalleled throughout history!"

"Gai Nie, you can understand it?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised.

"I don't understand," Gai Nie replied.

"..." Ying Zheng.

"But it sounds impressive even though I don't understand it. Perhaps I could understand it if I analyzed the meaning of these words," Gai Nie added.

As a descendant of Guiguzi, his martial prowess goes without saying.

In terms of wisdom, they are equally outstanding.

"Very well, I'll take care of this," Ying Zheng said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

With so many resources, how could the Qin Dynasty not become powerful?

Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie and solemnly said, "Gai Nie, in the future I will definitely build an empire without hunger, without war, where everyone is rich and has access to education!"

"I will ensure that the people of Qin can eat instant noodles every day and attend school!"

"With such courage and determination, Your Majesty is sure to succeed."

Gai Nie wholeheartedly agreed. He felt that His Majesty seemed to have changed, no longer obsessed with seeking immortality, but instead focused on practical matters, as if the young Ying Zheng had returned.

……

A world of one, in a certain city.

Through a friend's connection, Wang Ye arrived in Zhang Chulan's city and learned that Zhang Chulan had joined Na Du Tong and was beginning training for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony a month later!

"Sigh, I didn't want to get involved in these mundane matters, but the Great Dao Chat Group gave me so much that it might even help overcome the side effects of my Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

Wang Ye hailed a taxi and headed towards the area where Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were.

……

Chapter 20 Golden Light, Tai Chi

Suburbs.

In order to prepare for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Zhang Chulan followed Feng Baobao to cultivate.

With Feng Baobao's help, Zhang Chulan's strength improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

That evening, after finishing his cultivation...

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were grilling lamb and beef skewers in the yard, drinking soda.

"Sister Bao'er, although I've made great progress recently, I'm still not confident about participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony with so many extraordinary people around."

Zhang Chulan took a sip of soda and felt a lot of pressure.
