God Simulator

Lu Yao was puzzled: "I remember, the last time I saw Wei Qixiang was just two months ago, right? What's going on with the time here? How come it's been more than ten years all of a sudden?"

Regarding this issue, Song Shiyi gave an explanation: "The Great Qin Empire is different from the earth. It is continuous between virtual and real. The specific calculation method is very complicated, and the continuous movement is not uniform... Every time we come here, we need to recalibrate."

"In reality, the people of Qin experience time faster than us, and they are closer to the virtual universe. However, because of the alternation between virtual and real, their lifespans are very long. I remember that in the data given by Da Qin before, the average lifespan of Qin people is 801 Years old—or so it is here.”

"But everyone lives a long time, which will also affect the vitality of the entire society. Class consolidation is serious, and people's willingness to have children continues to decline."

Song Shiyi ate the last bit of cake, wiped her mouth with the wet tissue she brought, and handed a piece to each of Lu Yao and Isabel.

"From this perspective, Qin Shihuang's adoption of the imperial enfeoffment system was actually a strategy. Through the most intuitive land interests, he stimulated people to expand their territories, sent more people to the frontiers, and allowed these people to become rich through military exploits, stimulating the entire society. Then more people in the country will continue to join the army and drive the empire forward through the military merit system.”

"People don't worry about scarcity but inequality. The realization of military achievements and wealth will always stimulate many people to join. Coupled with the emperor's national policy of declaring gods, as long as soldiers are promoted along the way, they can eventually become the actual controller of the world. This is still very attractive. ”

She lifted up a strand of hanging hair: "The information we have shows that for a long time after Qin Shihuang promulgated the decree, the entire Qin Dynasty was prosperous and developed at an extremely fast rate. People actively joined the army and opened up wasteland, and used trade to promote The reduction of production capacity in various industries has ushered in a golden era.”

"It's just that any laws and policies have limitations of the times. As time goes by, it has become more and more difficult for Da Qin to expand. Although it is still conquering world after world, basically these places are of low value and no one cares about them. The strategic locations and resource locations are all occupied by other civilizations or pantheons of the same size.”

"There are only two paths before the empire, either to continue to expand or to reform the past system. But reforms have failed one after another, and it is difficult to turn around..."

"So Da Qin's goal can only be to point to the border zone and continue to launch expeditions."

Lu Yao already knew what happened next.

The virtual mirror appeared, bringing a powerful turbulent tide, causing the Yuren to create a black tide, and dealt another set of consecutive heavy blows to the Great Qin Empire.

The economic crisis can no longer be suppressed.

…

Lu Yao asked Wei Qixiang’s address.

"You want to go to Wei Qixiang's house? Don't you guys never mind other people's business? Mr. Huang, they only have orphans and widows." Song Shiyi's face was both shocked and nervous.

Lu Yao: "..."

Depend on.

It’s not enough to be a good person every once in a while.

What’s wrong with this society!

Could I have eaten them in the past?

Lu Yao said: "I am optimistic about Wei Qixiang, so I will make a personal investment. If he can escape alive in the future, then this favor will be very valuable."

"I see."

Song Shiyi showed an expression of relief: "Let me just say, Mr. Huang, you can't be... not that kind of casual person."

"..."

Lu Yao's forehead had veins popping out.

In your eyes, what kind of person am I?

Isabel suddenly said: "Can I have another Siyi pancake?"

"It's delicious, isn't it!" Song Shiyi was suddenly excited.

"It's delicious." Isabel gestured with her thumb.

The two girls chatted about local delicacies, ate and walked along the way, and then took a carriage - Xianyang City has carriages, iron cars, human trailers, and bamboo carts that you need to ride on. There are many options. wide.

The carriage was running along, and the driver was a suspected Indian wearing a feather hat and a bare upper body.

He swung the reins and played the flute to accompany him all the way. His breath was steady and the flute sound was good.

I ran back and forth for over forty minutes.

The carriage stopped outside a long wall.

Song Shiyi took out a wallet, took out a banknote and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you beautiful lady, I wish you luck and health."

"Please be careful, the security here is not very good, please don't stay here at night, then, goodbye."

The driver drove away.

Lu Yao asked for a banknote and came over to observe.

The pattern in the center of the banknote is a copper coin with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside. The four characters "Da Qin Wan Coin" are written on the copper coin from left to right and top to bottom.

The square hole in the center is printed with the surface value "十二", and there is a line of small characters at the bottom representing the banknote number. On the other side is a totem of a black bird with spread wings, representing the black bird, and on the four sides are seedlings surrounding the black bird.

"This is the legal currency of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Wan coin."

Song Shiyi introduced: "The power of faith is the gold of this world, and the power of faith is circulated with "mysterious tickets". The exchange rate between yuan coins and the power of faith will fluctuate, but it has been floating around 8:1 in recent years."

She handed over a black card.

Lu Yao saw that there were golden numbers four thousand and five on the mysterious ticket, and the Arabic numerals 4005 were also displayed below.

He tried to inject the fire of faith, and the number above suddenly changed to 4105.

Convenient indeed.

When he came back last time, Lu Yao didn't touch the money. Hua Tong'er and Zhao Zhenzhu paid for it, and he just ate. Only then did we truly understand the local currency of the Qin Empire.

Lu Yao asked: "Does every household have this card?"

"Wei Qixiang is a general, and there must be some at home." Song Shiyi said.

She continued to lead the way, talking: "Teacher Zao came here once before. I originally wanted to find General Wei to learn about the current situation of the West Ji Palace. Because the West Ji Palace is blocked, entry is temporarily prohibited. Only when I came here did I know that General Wei He was punished and demoted to the expeditionary force..."

Wei Qixiang's home is in "Yanbianfang", where the houses are narrow and compact, and there are many shacks of various sizes.

The sanitary conditions of the streets are also poor. Rats can be seen running around on the road. There are ropes hanging with clothes, pants and sheets everywhere, and there are only very narrow feasible paths.

There were several children selling goods along the street with ropes and wooden boards hanging around their necks. The products they sell include boiled eggs, toasted steamed buns, skewers of unknown meat, thick matches, sugar balls, and some hand-rolled cigarettes wrapped in white and yellow paper.

Outside is a postmodern avant-garde cultural city where ancient and modern times intersect, but here it feels like a place forgotten by the times.

The residents of Yanbianfang were washing their faces and gargling their mouths on the street, setting up stoves and lighting fires to cook. It was very smoky and reminded Lu Yao of the town in his hometown when he was a child.

That was nearly twenty years ago.

Wei Qixiang's family lived on the second floor of an old house there. There were some rotten and blackened wood and damaged bamboo piled in the corridor, which looked like rags picked up by someone.

Song Shiyi knocked on the wooden door with a yellow talisman paper and wormwood hanging on it.

A quiet voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Sister Yu, I'm Xiao Song. I came here with Teacher Ding last time. I'm from Heaven."

"Please wait."

The door was slowly opened, revealing a sallow-faced woman inside. She was wearing a camel-colored sweater, her hair was pulled up, and she looked haggard.

She glanced at Lu Yao and Isabel next to her: "Who are these two?"

"This is Mr. Huang Jia, Miss Mary, my colleague and friend."

"Please come in quickly."

It was a one-bedroom apartment, and although the tables, chairs, and cabinets didn't look new, the floor and furniture were all clean. There is also a canvas bag on the chair with two books in it.

There was a seven or eight-year-old child inside. He was cleaning with a broom. He glanced at the person who came, and then he went back to work.

"Wei Zhao, be polite." Mrs. Yu said.

The child then said dullly: "Uncle, auntie, hello."

Then he ran away again.

Mrs. Yu then said: "What are you two?"

Song Shiyi glanced at Lu Yao and saw that he didn't speak, so she said, "We participated in the mission with the Wei Counselor last time. We happened to pass by today and came to take a look. I hope it won't disturb us too much."

"No, no, I'm going to make tea right now. I'm so confused in bed today."

Mrs. Yu stood up.

Lu Yao raised his hand and said, "No need. I have something for General Wei to bring along the way this time."

With a flick of his hand, he suddenly picked up a sausage.

"This is [Kitchen Food·Sausage] made by [Kitchen God], but it won't last too long." Lu Yao handed the sausage to the other party.

Mrs. Yu was stunned for a moment: "But my husband never said this, and women can't take it."

"This is the gift that the Kitchen God gave everyone last time. I took this copy from Wei Shen and didn't have time to give it to him. Madam, please accept it and I will let you know when Wei Shen comes back."

Lu Yao also held back and came up with this paragraph.

Yu hesitated for a while, but finally took the sausage. She immediately recognized that this thing was unusual: "This looks like a very expensive thing..."

Song Shiyi said at the side: "If Sister Yu is reluctant to eat it, just pawn it and sell it to avoid spoilage and waste."

"..."

Mrs. Yu looked grateful to Lu Yao: "Thank you, thank you."

"Just on my way."

Lu Yao found out that he couldn't give away the money if he really wanted to. Fortunately, there is this sausage among the props, which is quite suitable.

This is different from directly slapping resources on the face of various gods and demons in the simulator.

If you coldly give money to a normal person, the other person will not dare to ask for it.

Just express your feelings briefly.

So he said, "Farewell."

As soon as Lu Yao left, Isabel followed, and Song Shiyi said, "Then let's go first. Sister Yu, take care."

The three of them walked downstairs. Young Wei Zhao came running all the way. He held up a small sack and handed it to Lu Yao: "Inside are our fried peanuts. Mom said, give them to you to eat."

"Thank you."

Lu Yao happily took it.

Wei Zhao suddenly asked: "Is that intestine really brought by my father?"

Lu Yao nodded.

Wei Zhao added: "My father never lets anyone deliver anything to our house."

The young man took something out of his pocket and gave it to Lu Yao: "This is the rare card I won. Here it is for you."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Although the young man didn't talk much, Lu Yao generally understood what he meant. This kid just didn't want to owe any favors, and he had a strong sense of self-esteem at a young age.

Lu Yao looked at the thing in his hand.

This is a psychic encapsulation card that has been opened and contains a prop inside.

…

[Basic Interface Card]: External interfaces can be added to Type I and Type II devices. Only one card can be used for each device.

【External interface (0/3)】

…

Apparently it was something made by the Eldar.

Interface card? External interface?

Can be used in both Type I and Type II devices...what does this mean?

Lu Yao immediately thought that he had [Mimetic Deep Burial Box Type II] and [Soul Machine Type I] in his hands.

External interface, can both devices be expanded and upgraded?

He immediately started testing.
