The days when I wanted to be a human being

The two chatted under the eaves.

It turns out that ten years have passed here, just like in the survival challenge.

She also learned from Bai Guan about the general situation in the outside world over the past ten years.

The Ming Dynasty fell but not completely.

There was a man named Jiang who continued the Ming Dynasty, named the era Jianwu, and was called Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.

After becoming emperor, the emperor's surname was Jiang, which was changed to Zhu.

Due to some taboos, Bai Guan did not reveal the man's specific name.

However, Zhou Ling had a very definite answer in his heart.

That is Jiang Qifeng.

She hadn't forgotten what happened a month after the armor was borrowed. Tian borrowed the Flame Dragon Armor and dealt with most of the explorers, saying that it was to promote the course of history, thus helping her upgrade her reward by two levels.

This led to the later armor-assisted combat system.

However, Zhou Ling was surprised by Jiang Qifeng's declaration of emperorship. After all, that man always said that he wanted to continue the Ming Dynasty, but she didn't expect that he would declare himself emperor.

I just don't know what's going on with this trick of changing the last name...

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling suddenly realized a problem.

Until she entered the reincarnation platform, the Ming Dynasty had indeed continued until 2014.

But many historians call the Ming Dynasty after 1644 the Later Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the name of the first emperor of the Later Ming Dynasty was Zhu Qifeng. That’s right, he only differed from Jiang Qifeng in one surname.

Zhou Ling only then realized what the historical process that "Heaven" was talking about was.

It is very likely that she went back hundreds of years with the help of the reincarnation platform, rather than to some parallel world.

After all, historically, there really wasn’t any zombie crisis in the Ming Dynasty…

No! History can be tampered with. Maybe the zombie crisis was just covered up.

"So, Bai Guan, have the zombie plague outside been resolved?" Zhou Ling wanted to see what the final outcome of this biochemical crisis that affected almost half of the Ming Dynasty was.

There is absolutely no record of this incident in history.

“…That crisis disappeared before the first year was over.” Bai Guan recalled with a frown.

He went down the mountain to gain experience for that matter. After receiving an urgent order from the sect, he returned to the mountain and met Zhou Ling.

That time he returned to the mountain, he only stayed for a few days before going down to continue his training.

"That plague...was resolved after half a year."

"However, the current emperor has issued an imperial decree prohibiting the spread of the plague."

After they chatted about some other things, they decided to go to the cafeteria to eat as it was almost noon.

Soon, Zhou Ling bought another batch of pancakes from the kitchen and went to the logistics department to get a set of daily necessities.

After all, we still have to stay for a month before we can take on the next survival challenge.

As for why she didn't take more things, it was because she had already prepared a lot of things in the space during her ten years as One Piece.

She just missed the vegetable pancakes from Wudang Mountain.

In this way, Zhou Ling lived an ordinary life of seclusion again.

But just one day later, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again.

Zhou Ling quickly summoned out the Flame Dragon Armor.

"Xiao Kai, I'm leaving the matter of vigilance to you. If it's really urgent, put it on for me and fly as far as you can."

After Zhou Ling finished speaking, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes peacefully.

...

Looking at the unchanging study room and Jiang Xiaoting, who was sitting at the desk without any change.

Zhou Ling suddenly felt something was wrong.

"A Ling?" Jiang Xiaoting asked in disbelief as she looked at Zhou Ling, whose appearance had changed drastically.

"It's me." Zhou Ling suddenly remembered that she was still in the mature lady form, but the material for this Impure World Reincarnation should be that she has not yet acquired the mature lady form.

Could it be possible that this mature sister form could also change the state of the soul?

Jiang Xiaoting walked up to Zhou Ling and compared her height. "She must be 1.8 meters tall."

"How long was your second survival challenge?"

Jiang Xiaoting said, raised her hand and pinched Zhou Ling's face, and asked.

She quickly remembered that the speed of time flowing in the two worlds was different.

"Ten years. To be exact, ten years and one month." Zhou Ling pushed his hands away from his face and said calmly, as if ten years was a very ordinary thing.

But in Jiang Xiaoting's mind, it was completely the opposite.

"So many! It's only been half a year here!"

Jiang Xiaoting was shocked. With such a huge difference in the speed of time flow, would Zhou Ling turn into an old lady the next time they met?

"But wasn't your first time only a month? Was it because your strength improved too quickly?"

Zhou Ling nodded. She did not forget why she maintained the form of a queen.

But the difference in the speed of time flow on both sides has brought about new problems.

A month had passed since her first survival challenge, but half a year had passed in the modern world where Jiang Xiaoting lived.

The second time, it took her ten years, but Jiang Xiaoting only took half a year.

The only difference between the two is the world she lives in.

But for the first time in the world, she didn’t have much information and couldn’t make any comparison.

Zhou Ling had no clue, so he stopped thinking about it and started asking about other things.

"No matter how long it's been, why did you come to me this time?"

Jiang Xiaoting looked up at Zhou Ling and thought for a moment, "Ah Ling, I came to you this time to tell you that I'm afraid you won't be able to use the application for assisting in the battle in the future."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ling then realized that Lin Jiaojiao was missing. After all, the two of them had always been inseparable.

"The court thought you were too dangerous, so they directly replaced Jiaojiao's talent."

Jiang Xiaoting’s words made Zhou Ling speechless. After all, what was this all about?

Is it really that serious? Are you so afraid of her?

It’s just throwing two Godzillas out of the earth, there’s nothing to worry about.

"Can talent be changed?" Zhou Ling was a little confused. How could such a thing be done?

"Because of the Samsara Platform..." Jiang Xiaoting walked to the side, "There are all kinds of strange talents, and the court has recruited all kinds of geniuses."

"What about Lin Jiaojiao? What was her talent replaced with?"

Zhou Ling took out a glass of water and drank it.

She discovered that in this era, the water energy contained in the air seemed to be more than in ancient times, but it seemed a little violent.

She deliberately restrained her body's automatic absorption.

After all, who knows if it will affect her.

“…She chose to join the Explorers Alliance.” Jiang Xiaoting looked melancholy as she sat on the chair behind the desk.

"You didn't...try to persuade her?" Zhou Ling leaned on the desk and asked suspiciously.

"They offer too much." Jiang Xiaoting sighed. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and she had long expected Lin Jiaojiao to leave.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, let's take a look at this."

"What are you looking at? Are you going to fight monsters again?" Zhou Ling was not surprised at all. He must have something to ask her this time.

A video is playing on the computer.

It seemed to be an auction, but the shooting angle was the unconventional one seen on TV.

Apparently, photography is not allowed at this auction, so the photographer seemed very careful.

The host on the stage was a sexy and charming woman who was smiling and waiting for the next auction item to come on stage.

"Is there anything strange about this?" Zhou Ling asked doubtfully, and turned into another glass of water, taking a sip slowly.

"Keep reading."

Finally, the auction items were brought up.

It looks like a scroll.

The host said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is the last one to be auctioned. I believe many people came here today just for this item..."

The sexy host was interrupted by someone in the audience before she could finish her words.

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? Hurry up."

The sexy host maintained her professional smile, ignored the people in the audience, and continued talking to herself.

"After identification by our professionals, this item was found to be a burial object of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty..."

"For some reason, this item was not buried with the deceased, but was instead placed in the imperial treasury."

"Not long ago, someone used the talent awakened on the Samsara Platform to sneak into the treasury and stole many items."

"Because the origin of this collection is too fascinating, the seller decided to auction it."

The sexy host said this and asked the waiter waiting beside her to open the scroll.

"puff!"

After seeing the contents of the scroll, Zhou Ling, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spit out the water in his mouth.

"clatter."

Jiang Xiaoting, who was standing by, pressed the pause button with an amused look on her face, then took a tissue to wipe off the water stains on the screen. She knew Zhou Ling would have this reaction.

"Are you kidding me?!" Zhou Ling was about to wipe the water stains off his face when he remembered the water spirit root he had recently acquired, and he absorbed the water stains with just a thought.

Zhou Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoting jokingly, but found that Jiang Xiaoting was looking at her seriously at this time.

"it is true."

Jiang Xiaoting said this, exited the video on the computer, and opened a picture.

This is a close-up of the scroll after it is opened.

It looks like it was specially filmed and is very high-definition.

There is a person on the scroll.

A girl to be exact.

Moreover, this picture is in color and high definition, just like it was taken with a camera.

The girl was wearing a red knee-length skirt, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Zhou Ling leaned in closer to the screen and watched it carefully. After she made sure she was not hallucinating, she said in disbelief, "Are you sure... this is real?! Isn't this taken by netizens? How could the Ming Dynasty have had this technology more than 200 years ago?"

"It's absolutely true. I'm not lying to you. You know me. I rarely lie to you. The appraiser at that auction has the talent to trace the history of the items, so no one doubts its authenticity."

After Zhou Ling looked at the details in the picture a few more times, she found that the girl's feet were bare, or rather, she was wearing black stockings but no shoes.

She conjured up a glass of water and took a big gulp before regaining her composure and speaking slowly:

"Then... where did you get this high-resolution photo?"

Jiang Xiaoting said calmly, "A friend took the photo."

"Can you elaborate on this, my friend..."

"No." Jiang Xiaoting refused without waiting for Zhou Ling to finish.

It seemed that she didn't want to talk more about her friend.

"Okay, is this the reason why you called me back today?" Zhou Ling laughed and didn't bother with her friend any more. Her thoughts began to fly.

That scroll...perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a painting scroll.

The girl painted on that scroll was herself.

And she still looked like her original self, and the clothes she was wearing were the same red skirt and black stockings she wore after her first survival challenge.

The girl's name was also signed on the scroll.

wonderful.

That was the detail she had to believe.

Miao, this word was given to her in the second survival challenge world... No! Earlier, when she first arrived at Wudang Mountain, Bai Guan gave her this name because of Tom.

As for how this high-definition scroll came from, Zhou Ling was not surprised at all. After all, at that time, the man named Jiang had come into contact with a large number of explorers, and he must have some strange items in his hands.

As for why this painting became a burial object of Emperor Wu of the Later Ming Dynasty, Zhou Ling actually had a rather narcissistic idea in his mind.

After all, she herself almost fell when she saw the original body's appearance, let alone an ancient person.

When she just completed her first survival challenge and returned to the biochemical Ming Dynasty, the man named Jiang gave her an immoral comment, but then turned around and directly collected a high-definition photo of her.

When Zhou Ling thought of this, goose bumps appeared all over her body.

She quickly stopped thinking about this.

Then I started thinking about a question.

That is history. Is there any record of this picture?

According to the history she learned in high school, she knew about the affair of Emperor Wu of the Later Ming Dynasty.

"Is there any other explanation for this scroll?" Zhou Ling really wanted to know whether there was any unofficial historical record about this scroll.

After hearing what Zhou Ling said, Jiang Xiaoting opened another video on her computer.

It was still that auction.

Still the same sexy host.

"According to the appraiser's description, the Reincarnation Platform system's evaluation of the girl in this painting is: someone that Emperor Mingwu could never get in his lifetime."

"Yes! That's right, this evaluation is the evaluation of the Samsara Platform system. It was evaluated by an appraiser and is completely credible."

"But everyone must have a lot of questions in their minds. There is no record of this person in history, including unofficial history. How could such a person suddenly appear, and his clothing was extremely modern? And how could there be such technology in the Ming Wudi period to draw high-definition pictures comparable to 4K?"

"Don't panic, everyone. Next, I will tell you a shocking secret."

"During that period, the Samsara Platform appeared briefly!"

The video ends here.

Jiang Xiaoting turned off the computer and looked at Zhou Ling, "Next, let me tell you."

"Before the reincarnation platform appeared, some historians believed that those strange and bizarre unofficial histories were fabricated by people at that time."

"But after combining the information obtained from some explorers who survived for nearly a year."

"Someone has analyzed something and found that the reincarnation platform and explorers have appeared several times in history."

"Although those in power in history have tried their best to cover up the truth, some unofficial history has been preserved anyway."

"After analysis, someone came to a conclusion that the emergence of the Samsara Platform seemed to be intended to prevent the Ming Dynasty, which had lasted for more than 600 years, from continuing."

Zhou Ling found it a little strange when she heard the end, "Is it so easy for people to guess the intention of the Samsara Platform?"

"Yes, Lao Zhou, many people have raised the same question as you, but later some people received some terrible news from the survival challenge world."

Jiang Xiaoting seemed to have talked a little too much, so she stopped and wanted to pour some water.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ling immediately conjured up a glass of water for her.

"Don't drink your water, I'll give you mine."

"This water of yours... is a skill, right?" Jiang Xiaoting said with relish after she finished drinking it.

"Do you want more?" Zhou Ling did not answer Jiang Xiaoting's question directly. After all, Jiang Xiaoting must be very smart.

"No, I'm afraid you're waiting too impatiently." Jiang Xiaoting said this and suddenly realized the problem. At this time before, Zhou Ling would start to urge her, but why is he starting to care about her now?

She looked at Zhou Ling, "You weren't like this before, is it because of time?"
