    He tried reading again the "Qin History" on his roommate's bookshelf:

    He memorizes every word, as if they are branded into Zhao Ping'an's mind.

    "It seems that the speed of his memory for historical and literary knowledge has increased, with very significant effects."

    Zhao Ping'an almost only took a quarter of an hour to memorize the "Outline of Modern History" in his hand.

    He sized up the sheathed knife pendant in his hand:

    "This game is probably weird."

    He's not stupid, and he can see the obvious weirdness right in front of him. He must have realized that something was off about this "History of China" game.

    Zhao Ping'an: Are you there? What's going on with this game?

    Zhao Ping'an sent a message to the advertising platform and his direct supervisor.

    [Supervisor: What's going on? I don't play games, I'm just a distributor who sends out ads. I'll send you the manufacturer's phone number, any issues you go ask them yourself.]

    [Supervisor: Don't disturb me, I just got involved with a college student.]

    Assertive.

    Zhao Ping'an was speechless. This supervisor was simply too abstract and unreasonable. He sent tasks to upholders, but did not even bother to check what kind of tasks were being sent?

    What if it kills the upholder?

    He tried making a phone call again, but no one answered.

    He searched online again, but there was no information at all.

    It seems that there's no chance to investigate the origin of this mysterious game for the time being.

    "Can't it be that I myself mistakenly made this game into a weird one?"

    Zhao Ping'an was suddenly shocked.

    "Come on, I've done a lot of debugging and source code modifications before. Why didn't this kind of thing happen when I was modifying online games? Adding a system is way better than this."

    Alright, since things have come to this point, let's eat... and play on.

    Without doubt, the magical and eerie supernatural power alone is already captivating enough to keep one interested.

    Li Si has received your guidance and is determined to go to the Qin territory.

    In 257 B.C., Li Si, on his way to Qin, passed by Zhao State.

    He found that Zhao was poor and weak, with its people intellectually backward, even the royal family did not value culture.

    He was greatly disappointed, and tried to visit the Zhao King in the guise of "Li Si," but the Zhao King refused him.

    He thought that this royal family was not fit to bear the surname "Zhao," and was not comparable to his "Zhao Master."

    He was very disappointed with the people of the country and decided to have a drink before heading to Qin.

    In the tavern, he was chatting happily with a middle-aged man who was in his forties.

    The middle-aged man was from Quyang and had come to Handan, Zhao, to do business.

    The man constantly praised Li Si and asked, "Why don't you join me? I have a rare treasure in my hands. How about we both assist him to build a great and prosperous Qin?"

    Li Si was silent. Although the two were chatting happily, he didn't know who the man in front of him was.

    The man in front of him introduced himself, "My name is Lv Buwu."

    Zhao Ping'an was stunned.

    Lv Buwu?

    Li Si met Lv Buwu in Handan, Zhao?

    He quickly came to his senses:

    "Because of my reason, Li Si went to Qin years ago."

    "History is a hybrid of contingency and necessity, and because of me, Li Si and Lv Buwu met earlier than expected."

    "And that's why Li Si became someone close to Ying Yiren, truly entering the highest ruling group, the group that Qin Shi Huang believed in."

    This is the reason history was changed.

    On the phone, the content continued to scroll:

    Lv Buwu highly valued him. At this moment, Lv Buwu already had a "rare treasure" — Ying Yiren.

    He wanted more rare treasures and invited Li Si:

    ["I have a brother here, called Ying Yiren, a Qin State hostage."]

    ["Let's work together, let's help Yiren ascend to the throne as the crown prince, and make him the king of Qin. He will share his land with us!"]

    Li Si was stunned.

    He never expected that the opportunity to fulfill his ambitions would be right now.

    He suddenly realized, this was all thanks to his "Zhao Master"!

    ["If it weren't for the guidance of Zhao Master, how could he be here at this moment going to Qin, passing by Handan at this very moment, and meeting Lv Buwu, a member of the Qin royal family?"]

    After talking with Lv Buwu, Li Si felt confident:

    ["Using the thoughts of Zhao Master, combined with his own experience, he can make Ying Yiren become the king of Qin!"]

    He talked happily with Lv Buwu, considering many countermeasures, but did not make a decision.

    In the evening, he drank too much and felt that he had finally lived up to Zhao Master's expectations, so he opened the chat board.

    Zhao Ping'an held his breath and concentrated. Was this when he could communicate with Li Si again?

    He gathered his energy.

    ["Thank you, Zhao Master, for your guidance!"]

    ["Grateful for the mentorship of Zhao Master, Li Si has met a remarkable person named Lv Buwu."]

    ["This person is very talkative and also knows Ying Yiren, the hostage of Qin."]

    ["I have made a date with him, to help Ying Yiren return and become the king of Qin together!"]

    ...

    Li Si was full of excitement and wrote down the content on the wooden board in front of him.

    "Zhao Master will definitely be proud of me after seeing this content."

    Li Si lifted the cup of wine with his right hand, "Remember when we were in Chu, they all advised me to be a good official, and not to think about unnecessary things."

    "The things those intellectuals did were just empty talk. It's impossible for me to enter that upper echelon."

    Taking a closer look, since I resigned from my small official position until now, no one has supported me.

    Except for Zhao Master.

    "From my entire life until now, even the heavens haven't allowed me to succeed in my studies, only Zhao Master has taught me knowledge..."

    "Today, I finally have the opportunity to achieve my grand vision!"

    Just now, after he agreed with Lv Buwu, Lv Buwu brought out Ying Yiren.

    The three of them talked and drank together, and Ying Yiren looked like a talented person who could be molded.

    Obedient, during the exchange, it could also be seen that he was a promising person.

    He was very happy.

    Extremely happy.

    Li Si had already imagined his future.

    He didn't ask Zhao Master if this was a setup by Zhao Master, because with Zhao Master's wisdom, he thought it must be.

    Li Si could feel that the appearance of Lv Buwu and Ying Yiren in his life trajectory were all part of Zhao Master's calculations.

    On the wooden board, ink characters slowly appeared, answering his question:

    ["As long as you're happy."]

    ["Enjoy the life you should have."]

    ["Farming can earn you ten times the profit, trading pearls and jade can earn you one hundred times the profit, supporting a monarch of a nation can earn you an infinite amount of profit."]

    Li Si looked at the content on the panel and laughed heartily, "No wonder you're my Zhao Master; that sentence is very well said!"

    "It is a great fortune to encounter Zhao Master in life!"

    After sharing his joy with the most respected Zhao Master, Li Si thought of some questions.

    Li Si talked with Lv Buwu for a long time and came up with many plans, but he felt that it would be best to first ask Zhao Master.

    ["Thank you, Zhao Master, for your encouragement!"]

    ["Actually, my visit is not just to share joy with Zhao Master; I also have something to ask."]

    ["I had a great time meeting Lv Brother, but there are still some issues between us."]

    ["Lv Brother heard that King An and Lady Huayang were close, and wanted to make a move on Lady Huayang."]

    ["But we don't have a channel to meet Lady Huayang. How should we proceed?"]

    ...

    Zhao Ping'an fell silent.

    In all fairness, according to Lv Buwu's original character in history, he wouldn't do something like this, would he?
