I pointed at the phone screen and explained, "These are the immortals cheering me on!"
As I spoke, I secretly observed Huhai's reaction. He was staring at the various gift effects in the Live Stream, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought.
Seizing the opportunity, I continued, "Your Majesty, a Commoner can harness the power of the immortals to fulfill any wish for you!"
"Any wish?" The woman's beautiful eyes lit up. "Is that true?"
I nodded earnestly. "Absolutely no falsehood!"
"Good!" The woman turned to Huhai and said sweetly, "Your Majesty, why not let this gentleman demonstrate some immortal techniques for us?"
Huhai pondered for a moment before nodding.
I felt a surge of joy in my heart, knowing I had made the right bet.
Taking a deep breath, I opened the Live Stream connection feature and began searching for Qin Shi Huang's account.
"Ding!"
A notification sound rang out as Qin Shi Huang's account appeared on the screen.
Without hesitation, I clicked the connect button.
"Beep... beep..."
The sound of the call connecting echoed in the silent hall.
Suddenly, my phone received a mysterious text message: "The influence of Live Stream has begun to interfere with reality. Remember, do not reveal your true identity and purpose during the Live Stream, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and then pressed the answer button...
"Hello, who is this?"
A commanding voice came from the phone.
I looked up at the woman and Huhai, and saw that they were both eagerly watching the phone in my hand, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe.
I steadied myself and said into the phone, "Your Majesty, First Emperor, hello. I am your fan..."
====================
"I am the First Emperor; who are you?" The authoritative voice of Qin Shi Huang came from the phone, tinged with a hint of confusion.
I feigned calmness and replied, "I am a commoner, a Sorcerer, who admires Your Majesty's divine power. It is a great fortune to see your face today!"
"Sorcerer? Are you saying you have magic?" Qin Shi Huang's voice revealed a trace of interest.
I glanced at Huhai beside me, who was boredly playing with mud on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have some knowledge of divination techniques; I can observe celestial phenomena and measure fortunes. Would Your Majesty be willing to give it a try?" I asked tentatively.
"Oh? Then tell me, how is Great Qin doing now?" Qin Shi Huang seemed intrigued.
I thought for a moment and pointed at Huhai, saying, "Your Majesty, please look at this young man. He has an impressive demeanor and remarkable talent; he will surely achieve great things in the future!"
Huhai beamed with pride upon hearing my praise and grinned foolishly at the phone where Qin Shi Huang was.
"This child..." A light sigh came from the other end of the phone. "He is naturally mischievous and does not like studying; how can he become great?"
I smiled knowingly and said, "Your Majesty may not know this, but although he seems mischievous, he is actually wise beyond his years. His playing in the mud is not mere folly; he is observing the hardships of the people and understanding the power of the earth. Given time, he will surely become a wise ruler!"
As I spoke, I secretly observed Huhai and the woman's reactions.
Huhai was clearly flustered by my words; he stopped playing in the mud, puffed out his chest, and tried to adopt an imposing demeanor.
The woman looked at me in shock, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.
"Oh? Do you really think so?" Qin Shi Huang's voice on the phone seemed somewhat skeptical.
"Absolutely! The Commoner guarantees it with his life!" I declared earnestly.
While I engaged with Qin Shi Huang, I kept an eye on my surroundings from the corner of my eye.
The great hall was silent, with only the voices of Qin Shi Huang and me echoing.
"Alright! I shall give this rebellious son another chance!" Qin Shi Huang's tone suddenly turned stern. "Huhai! Did you hear what this Sorcerer said? Hurry up and respond!"
Huhai jumped in fright, quickly getting up from the ground, frantically brushing off the dirt on himself, and trembling as he walked over to my side.
"Father..." Huhai called out timidly.
"Rebellious son! How dare you still call me Father!" Qin Shi Huang roared. "Look at yourself now; what a disgrace! Hurry up and learn from this Sorcerer, devote yourself to training, and strive to become a wise ruler!"
Huhai trembled all over, quickly kneeling on the ground and repeatedly bowing his head in apology.
Seeing this, I felt a surge of joy; it seemed my plan had succeeded.
I took the opportunity to demonstrate some "immortal techniques" to Qin Shi Huang, such as lighting a fire with a lighter and illuminating the hall with a flashlight.
Qin Shi Huang and the others in the hall were amazed by these miraculous sights, growing even more in awe of me.
"Sorcerer, you truly are extraordinary!" Qin Shi Huang's voice was filled with admiration. "I have many things to consult you about; please stay in the palace. I want to reward you properly!"
I felt a sense of unease in my heart; I certainly did not want to stay in the Qin Dynasty, especially since I needed to find a way to stop Zhao Gao.
"Your Majesty, the Commoner is just a simple person from the mountains and is not accustomed to life in the palace," I politely declined. "Moreover, the Commoner has many matters to attend to and cannot stay in the palace for long."
"This..." Emperor Qin Shi Huang seemed somewhat troubled.
I thought quickly and said, "Your Majesty, although the Commoner cannot remain in the palace, the Commoner can leave something behind so that Your Majesty can contact me anytime and anywhere."
"Oh? What is it?" Emperor Qin Shi Huang asked curiously.
I took a business card out of my pocket and handed it to the woman beside me, saying, "Miss, please pass this to His Majesty."
The woman took the card with a puzzled expression and looked at me. I smiled lightly at her, signaling her to proceed.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked toward the emperor with the card in hand.
I watched the screen intently and thought: Zhao Gao, our game has only just begun!
