I started on a deserted island and encountered Ying Zheng, who insisted I was an immortal.

Chapter 90 Village Chief Ying Zheng and the Globe

"Click".

The wrench slipped and left a white mark on the armor plate.

Wang Ben blew on the mark with a pained expression, as if it were his newlywed wife whose face had been slashed. He put the wrench in his pocket, his movements so gentle that they didn't seem like those of a butcher who had just crushed thousands of people.

"It's fixed already?"

Ying Zheng jumped down from the turret, his military boots crunching on the dry, hard grass. He didn't look at Wang Ben; his gaze passed over the still-smoking battlefield and landed on the red sun about to sink below the horizon in the west.

"Your Majesty, the tracks are a little loose, just tighten them." Wang Ben patted the road wheel, looking fascinated. "This thing is really sturdy. It broke so many bones just now, and not even a few pieces of paint were chipped off."

"Sturdy is sturdy."

Zhang Ying leaned against the conveyor belt, holding a tablet with only 10% battery left, swiping the screen. "But we're out of fuel."

"That drift just now burned two whole barrels of diesel."

He turned the screen towards Ying Zheng, where a red fuel warning icon appeared. "Old Zhao, if you want to get to the ends of the earth, this one car won't be enough. Even if I exchanged all the fuel in the system store, it wouldn't be enough for you to make a round trip."

Ying Zheng frowned.

He doesn't like hearing the word "no".

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Build roads." Zhang Ying put away her tablet, took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. "Also, we need to build vehicles. Trucks, troop carriers, and tanker trucks."

"besides."

Zhang Ying chewed on her candy and mumbled, "You need to figure out just how big this world really is."

"How big?" Ying Zheng chuckled dismissively. He opened his arms as if to embrace the entire grassland. "I have already conquered six kingdoms, and now I have pacified the Xiongnu. Is there any place in this world that I cannot go?"

In the Qin people's understanding, the Nine Provinces were the whole world.

Beyond that lies the wilderness.

It's where savages live.

Zhang Ying rolled her eyes.

"Li Si".

"Your subject is here!" Li Si, who was squatting on the ground counting the heads of prisoners, rushed over, carrying a string of blood-stained wolf tooth necklaces, which were spoils of war torn from the neck of a Xiongnu nobleman.

"Set up that tent over there," Zhang Ying said, pointing to a flat area not far away. "Make sure it's completely covered up, so no light gets in."

"promise!"

Although no one knows what kind of sorcery the Imperial Advisor is planning, Li Si's execution ability is absolutely top-notch.

Fifteen minutes later.

The military tent was pitch black.

Only the tablet computer in Zhang Ying's hand emitted a faint blue light.

"Watch closely."

Zhang Ying opened a software called "Google Earth (Offline Cracked Version)".

Swipe your finger across the screen.

A holographic projection (a high-tech projector accessory) instantly unfolded in the center of the tent.

A deep blue sphere.

It floats in mid-air.

It rotates slowly.

There is land, ocean, white clouds, and yellow desert.

Dead silence.

The wrench in Wang Ben's hand clattered to the ground.

Li Si opened his mouth wide, his jaw almost dislocated.

Even Ying Zheng's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

"What...what is this?" Ying Zheng reached out, wanting to touch the blue ball, but his fingers passed right through the light and shadow.

"This is the earth beneath our feet."

Zhang Ying rotated the sphere. "This is also what you call 'the world'."

"Nonsense!" Li Si retorted, trembling, though his voice lacked conviction. "Heaven is round and earth is square! That's what the sages said! How could the earth be round? If it were, wouldn't the people living underneath fall down?"

"Gravity." Zhang Ying was too lazy to explain the physics term. "Just think of it as a big magnet inside the ball that attracts people."

He pinched the map between two fingers and zoomed in.

The originally enormous sphere instantly shrank in size.

The map of Asia appeared before everyone.

Look here.

Zhang Ying pointed to the area on the map that looked like a rooster and drew a small circle on it.

That circle was only about the size of a fingernail.

"This is the Qin Dynasty."

then.

He then pointed to the vast expanse of land beside him, which was the Western Regions, Central Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Australia.

"This is the rest of the world."

Ying Zheng stared intently at the circle, which was about the size of a fingernail.

I looked at that huge ball again.

His face turned extremely pale.

It's like a child who thought he owned the whole candy store, only to suddenly realize that he only had a candy wrapper.

"My... Great Qin..."

Ying Zheng's voice was somewhat hoarse. "Only... this much?"

"Hmm." Zhang Ying shrugged. "In the global village, you're at best a village chief."

"village head……"

Wang Ben covered his mouth, trying not to laugh out loud, but his shoulders were shaking like a leaf.

In this world, the only person who would dare to call the First Emperor "village chief" is probably this imperial advisor.

Ying Zheng did not get angry.

He just stared at the ball.

Staring intently.

That look in his eyes was even more greedy and intense than when he had looked at the Xiongnu cavalry earlier.

That was madness born from ambition amplified to the extreme.

"Here," Ying Zheng pointed to the vast landmass to the west (Europe). "Is anyone there?"

"Yes," Zhang Ying nodded. "The Roman Republic is currently engaged in the Punic Wars; it's quite a spectacle."

"And here?" Ying Zheng pointed to the south (India).

"The Mauryan Empire was rich in spices, gems, and elephants."

"Here?" (America).

"We are currently wild men, but the land is full of gold, and there are also potatoes and corn that yield thousands of kilograms per acre."

Upon hearing "gold" and "potatoes," Li Si's eyes instantly turned into searchlights.

"His Majesty!"

Li Si knelt down with a thud and hugged Ying Zheng's leg. "Fight! We must fight! What right do those savages have to occupy such a treasure trove! It's Heaven's gift to Qin as a granary!"

Ying Zheng kicked Li Si away.

He walked around that virtual Earth three times.

Their pace quickened.

His breathing became heavier and heavier.

At last.

He stopped at the position of "Da Qin".

Reach out.

Hard.

Grab that ball.

It was as if they wanted to crush this illusory image and knead it into their very bones.

"Zhang Ying".

"exist."
