This sword seems to harbor a storm within it; with a slight swing, it can control the weather of the entire planet, and it is also indestructible, although it lacks the violence of planet-destroying cannons.
However, when used in individual combat, this sword is invincible and can be called a divine weapon.
No, it's a gift from the Star God, so calling it a divine artifact doesn't seem wrong.
The second is...
[Ding! Sunday has been defeated in a direct confrontation. The Sheep Charm has been upgraded by one level!]
The reward for stopping Huang Quan's actions and fighting Sunday alone, which significantly increased the difficulty, was completing this system task.
Sheep Talisman Lv.2: Allows free astral projection and grants immunity to memory reading and soul attacks from those below the Envoy level.
Bai Zhi wasn't particularly interested in things like astral projection, mainly because her body would be vulnerable to strange invasions since it lacked a soul.
In the Star Iron Universe, there are many kinds of spiritual beings, such as Suiyang and Wuwubo.
Therefore, unless you can guarantee that your body will not be occupied by other entities after your soul leaves your body, it is best not to try this behavior.
The scene where Xiaoyu was unable to return to her body due to the sheep talisman is still vivid in my mind.
The third one was getting in touch with his brother-in-law, Sunday, and Robin.
Although Sunday is a bit simple-minded, he has been the head of the Oak family for so many years, and his management skills are quite good.
Moreover, he also has his unique Taiyi Dream, a method for creating beautiful dreams. Even if it's no longer God Sunday, he should still have grasped the principle. If he brought it to his own planet, it would definitely be a booming business.
Needless to say, the robin is beautiful to look at and sings a beautiful song; it's a pleasure to behold.
Fourthly, he established a good bond with Liuying and Huangquan.
"So, what are you planning to do next?"
Silver Wolf's voice pulled Bai Zhi back to reality from her thoughts of calculating the harvest.
"Next... let the robin hold a concert here."
Bai Zhi still remembers that the system had a task: if her concert's popularity surpassed that of the robin, she would receive a random talisman to level up.
If I could upgrade the highest-level dragon talisman by one level...
Bai Zhi didn't know what the effects of a level four talisman were, but based on the current situation, level one was for implementing some basic functions, level two was effective for those below the Commander level, and had some effect on Commanders.
Level three means it can also be effective against command and control level units.
So, level four might actually be a Star God level effect.
Even if it's not at the Star God level, it's definitely quite powerful.
"The Robin concert, huh? That's not bad. I have a lot of her songs in my collection. You've really made something of yourself by being able to invite such a big star."
Silver Wolf said with a grin.
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. What kind of anti-heavenly talk is this?
"Yes, yes, it is my honor to have the great Punk Lord's uncrowned queen, Miss Silver Wolf."
"Hey, you're quite self-aware. It's truly an honor for you to have me help you."
"Alright, alright, let's not interrupt anymore. Give me the leaderboard data regarding the players' attack on Pinocchio. I'm going to greet those heroes."
Bai Zhi hadn't forgotten this. Although the players weren't individually powerful, they actually played the same role as Huang Quan in the original storyline.
All of these are experiences that disrupt the perfect dream world brought about by the dream of Taiyi, causing people to feel death and various negative emotions, thus escaping from it.
Without them, that battle would have been several times more difficult than before.
"Attack statistics, let me see. First place... Chi Yuan, second place, Yan Qing, third place, Zhu Yuanzhang, fourth place, Ying Zheng..."
"Huh, Hua Heyanqing got involved too?"
“That’s right. Alicia, Eden, Furina, and some other talented people are holding concerts, but Hua and Yanqing don’t have that talent.”
"So these two joined the battle directly from the back. These two are quite powerful; you could say they're far ahead of everyone else."
Silver Wolf nodded, as if confirming.
"Hua Heyanqing... how am I supposed to reward him..."
Bai Zhi scratched her head. The rewards she had prepared were credit points and a rejuvenation medicine, but one of them was a fusion warrior with an almost endless lifespan, and the other was a Celestial Race from the Immortal Ship, who still had at least seven or eight hundred years to live. The medicine was basically useless for them.
"Hmm... I've got it!"
Bai Zhi suddenly remembered that Mebius was researching a new weapon, the kind of intelligent weapon that would greatly increase a person's combat power once they got their hands on it.
We'll get two from Mebius then, one as the champion prize for this martial arts ceremony, and the other for Yanqing.
Although she felt that Yanqing might not need this kind of sword.
Because Yanqing's swordsmanship is basically invincible in Luofu, apart from Jingyuan and the other five elites in the clouds who can suppress him with absolute strength, ordinary people really can't beat him.
In terms of swordsmanship skills alone, Bai Zhi is no match for this swordsmanship genius.
Bai Zhi didn't care about that. She relied on sheer force to overcome all obstacles, and delicate technical control wasn't her style.
However, even if Yanqing doesn't need such a thing, it would still be an excellent weapon for collection.
Yanqing, being a sword fanatic, certainly wouldn't mind.
As for what to give to Hua...
Bai Zhi was really racking her brains. Hua's most commonly used weapon was actually his fist. Although he was also proficient in other weapons, he had even less need for that kind of intelligent mode.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, but she really couldn't think of anything to give.
If they really can't come up with anything by then, they might as well just give them a large sum of credits and call it a day.
This is the safest and most perfect reward, the only downside being that it lacks any originality.
"Old Zhu, and the First Emperor, well then, let's give the reward that was originally for the first place to the two of them."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, and since the first two people didn't need the medicine anyway, she decided to postpone it and let the last two people get it.
At least, these two are still mortals, so this medicine is just right for them.
Chapter 615: The Reward for the Two
"Gentlemen, you have made outstanding contributions in this battle, ranking third and fourth respectively. As a reward, I will give each of you a Rejuvenation Pill."
In the tranquil, fairy-boat-themed garden, Bai Zhi received Old Zhu's family and the First Emperor.
"Thank you, Immortal... However, could the elixir of rejuvenation be replaced with a cultivation technique that allows one to ascend to immortality?"
Ying Zheng's eyes revealed his desire for the elixir of youth, but more than a one-time use medicine, he wanted the ticket to become an immortal as well.
If he could live forever, his Qin Dynasty would become an immortal Qin Dynasty, lasting for eternity.
"I'm afraid that won't work. We do have the kind of cultivation method you're imagining, but you're different from a Celestial Being. You're missing something, so you can't practice it."
Bai Zhi pointed to Ying Zheng's lower abdomen. The Immortal Boat's library contained all sorts of martial arts and techniques, just like those in fantasy novels. Many Cloud Riders also had their own family traditions.
One example is Li Sushang's Taixu Sword Qi.
However, the most basic requirement for these martial arts and mental techniques is to possess some extra organs that distinguish them from short-lived species. For example, the Danfu of the Celestial Race of the Immortal Boat is roughly equivalent to a small energy furnace. With this thing, the Celestial Race of the Immortal Boat can create those strange mental techniques and martial arts, as well as strengthen their bodies in all aspects.
Ordinary people simply don't have these special energy storage organs, so they can't use those things at all.
Moreover, where would Ying Zheng's world get such energy for him to draw upon?
If you actually take it, the most you'll get is to improve your health.
Ying Zheng fell silent. Although he had a premonition, after all, if one could truly become an immortal in his world, he wouldn't have only just met Bai Zhi now.
But when I actually received the news, I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He could only cup his hands in a gesture of respect and say, "In that case, I will accept the elixir of youth."
Immortality is impossible, but extending one's lifespan slightly is acceptable. At the very least, having a few more children and choosing a suitable successor is not a problem.
After being educated by Old Zhu about the future of the Qin Dynasty, he no longer wanted to choose a successor from among his current sons.
Hu Hai deserved to die, and so did Fu Su. He was weak-willed and believed whatever others said. With such a son, how could the Qin Dynasty be managed well in the future?
It's better to continue playing on your own account and then create a new one.
"Alright, here's the medicine for you... and this sword too, I'll give it to you as well."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then took out a pill that could reverse aging, and then drew over one of the decorative swords that were crossed on the wall in the room, and handed it to Ying Zheng.
Although this sword is a decorative sword, it is made of an extremely strong alloy found in the universe. Not to mention in Qin Shi Huang's era, even in the 21st century, the performance of this sword is still far ahead of its time.
"Thank you for the gift, Immortal."
Taking the elixir and the heavy, ornate longsword, Ying Zheng cupped his hands in greeting. He could naturally tell that the sword was of considerable value; at least its magnificent decorations were something his Qin dynasty could not match.
"Hopefully this sword won't give archaeologists in your future world a headache."
Thinking about the future of Qin Shi Huang's world, and how archaeologists scratched their heads in bewilderment when faced with this longsword that was countless years ahead of modern technology, Bai Zhi couldn't help but laugh.
"So, Lao Zhu, what about you? Do you choose medicine, or something else?"
From Zhu's hesitant expression, Bai Zhi could tell that this great ruler probably had his own ideas.
While the elixir of youth is desirable, it may not hold much allure for an emperor who truly cares about the fate of the nation.
"Immortal, you are wise. We don't need anything, we only hope that you can save our Great Ming Dynasty in a time of crisis."
Standing behind Old Zhu, Zhu Yunwen still had an incredulous expression. He hadn't expected his grandfather to actually choose this, exchanging the anti-aging medicine for a vague promise. He had thought it was just a joke at the time.
If it were him, he would definitely choose the medicine without hesitation.
Zhu Di remained silent. Although he also favored the medicine, since he was not as selfless as his father, he understood his father's thoughts.
Compared to medicine that can grant someone another life, relying on individual effort to reverse fate, intervention from an unparalleled power might be the key to a dynasty's continued existence.
"Old Zhu, you've really got a good plan."
Bai Zhi smiled, "But I agreed."
Regardless of whether Lao Zhu said it or not, she also intended to interfere, because the system prompted that her interference with the original historical process might attract some strange forces to restore it to its original state.
No matter what, she created this new world through her own interference. If some random Tom, Dick, or Harry tries to restore history to its original state, wouldn't that be a slap in her face?
She was also quite curious about that mysterious force.
If they really come, we'll go and see what's going on.
When Bai Zhi said she had a good plan, Old Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he almost thought that Bai Zhi was going to refuse.
After all, the help of an immortal is far more beneficial to the group than that one pill. He came from a peasant and beggar background and knew that such a pill could be a valuable asset to a dynasty in the hands of powerful emperors like himself.
If it's replaced by an incompetent descendant, then this stuff is like poison, potentially leading to the premature demise of the entire dynasty.
But he was relieved after Bai Zhi agreed, realizing that the immortal still wanted to protect their Ming Dynasty.
When I get back this time, I must follow the information they sent and properly develop that technology, as well as colonize the whole world, so that the Ming Dynasty can be great again!
While we're at it, let's also put statues of the immortals all over the world.
"Then you can have this sword too. You've worked hard for a while, after all."
Bai Zhi casually pulled over another decorative sword that matched the previous one from the wall and handed it to Old Zhu.
Giving away one sword is the same as giving away two. Anyway, it doesn't look good to have just one sword sitting there all alone. After giving them all away, we can just have someone buy two more and put them here.
"Thank you, Immortal!!"
Old Zhu excitedly accepted the decorative sword. He was surprised to receive such a precious sword after making his request.
If it can be placed in the immortal's room, it must be a good thing.
Stroking the blade, Old Zhu decided that this sword would be passed down as the Emperor's Sword to his family from now on.
Every emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to wear this sword when he ascended the throne, as a sign of the immortals' favor upon the Ming Dynasty and to represent the Ming Dynasty's abundant martial virtue!
Chapter 616 Weapons Made by Möbius
"Oh, our boss is here. What, did you remember me, this poor little researcher?"
As soon as Bai Zhi stepped into Mebius's research institute, she heard Snake's words, which had a slightly yin-yang flavor.
"Dr. Mebius, please don't upset the boss. We haven't received our new funding yet."
