Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

"Fusu, go buy me two cakes."

Tang Yu and Fu Su walked down the street, and Tang Yu became interested as he looked at the vendors hawking their wares.

Fusu also bought the cakes and respectfully handed them over.

"Teacher, here it is."

Looking at the bustling street, Tang Yu's thoughts were in turmoil.

Now that he has come to the Qin Kingdom, he has many grand plans and ambitions that he has yet to realize, but everything takes time!

Tang Yu seemed to sense Ying Zheng's anxiety for the first time.

Yes, Tang Yu has actually brought about many changes to this era.

The cement, sweet potatoes, and potatoes rewarded by the system, as well as the medical warehouses rewarded Ying Zheng, influenced his changes, including his proposed supplementary methods for the prefecture-county system.

However, all the changes and results still need time, and time is truly crucial!

Just as Tang Yu was thinking this, he suddenly discovered that a brand new item had popped up in his system.

He didn't even take the cake from Fusu's hand, and immediately focused his thoughts on the system.

He discovered that the system space had actually rewarded him with a set of bulletproof vests!

"Bulletproof vest???"

Tang Yu's brows furrowed instantly, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

He sensed a threat emanating from the bulletproof vest!

This system would never randomly reward him with useless things.

Previously, when he traveled to the Qin state in the wilderness, he faced a bandit scourge composed of roving marauders.

Just before he was about to be slaughtered, Tang Yu's system rewarded him with the S686 shotgun.

Two days before Zheng Ge was about to faint from anger, Tang Yu obtained some quick-acting heart medicine.

And just as the toxins in Ying Zheng's body were about to erupt, Tang Yu obtained a medical pod.

It seems that the reward for each item represents what is about to happen, but what exactly is this bulletproof vest?

Assassination?

Tang Yu looked at Fusu beside him.

The other person still had a somewhat naive smile on their face, clearly unaware of what was about to happen.

Tang Yu then casually said to Fusu:

"Stay close to me later, and no matter what, don't leave my side!"

"is teacher!"

Fusu nodded, somewhat bewildered.

Even though he didn't know why Tang Yu had asked him to do this, Tang Yu was his teacher.

All he needed to do was follow Tang Yu's orders.

Looking at the S686 and the unlimited supply of bullets in his system space, as well as the bulletproof vest he received as a reward, Tang Yu had an idea.

"Buzz!"

He immediately put on the bulletproof vest and instantly felt something cold and heavy against his skin.

Tang Yu looked down and found that the bulletproof vest was truly user-friendly; it was worn directly over his inner clothing, and from the outside, there was no visible problem at all!

"Teacher, why haven't you given me a lesson today? Fusu is ready to learn."

After Fusu finished speaking, a hint of anxiety crept into his tone.

Since Tang Yu became his apprentice, Tang Yu had taught him many principles, but had never given him a real lesson.

Ying Zheng also forbade him from contacting Confucian scholars, and at this moment Fusu felt that life was completely different from before.

Seeing how studious Fusu was, Tang Yu realized that the other party was definitely born in the wrong dynasty. If he had been born in later generations, Fusu would definitely be a top student.

But nowadays, sometimes traveling thousands of miles is far more important than reading thousands of books!

"Fusu, you're too hasty. Sometimes, slow and steady wins the race!"

"Let me tell you a principle: seeing more is far more important than knowing more!"

"Your vision and knowledge were previously limited by Confucianism; now you are truly yourself."

"Don't listen to anyone's opinions. Use your own eyes to see the Qin Kingdom and its people. Then decide what kind of emperor you want to become!"

"An emperor?"

Fusu seemed lost in thought, but a rather pained expression flashed in his eyes.

"But if Father were still alive, how could I have become emperor? With Mr. Tang's magical arts, it would be extremely easy for him to prolong Father's life, wouldn't it?"

His words were full of sincerity and deep reluctance to part with Ying Zheng, without the slightest desire for that position.

Tang Yu finally understood why this foolish boy would commit suicide because of Ying Zheng's edict, but at this moment he could only shake his head and say:

"Fusu, you seem to think too highly of your master. Even 2000 years from now, in what you call the Immortal Realm."

"The average lifespan of all of us is only around 80 years. Even with the help of the medical pod, the limit of Zheng Ge's lifespan will definitely not exceed 100."

"Besides, even Brother Zheng will grow old eventually. When he gets old, the Qin Kingdom will fall into your hands."

"Your direction, your thoughts, and your actions are extremely important to the Qin state!"

Fusu fell silent upon hearing this. Even though he knew that everyone must die eventually, and that his father had spent his entire life pursuing immortality, he would ultimately gain nothing.

But when he learned that his father would also die, he couldn't help but feel saddened.

"Fusu, do you know why His Majesty appointed me as your teacher?"

"Of course, it's because you are a deity, learned and knowledgeable, and know a great deal."

Tang Yu didn't respond to the previous sentence, but instead changed the subject and said:

"But if that's the case, why is it specifically you and me? And not me and other people, or you and other people?"

After thinking about it, Fusu still couldn't come up with a suitable reason.

If it's truly because Mr. Tang is so knowledgeable, then why didn't he let his younger siblings also become his students? Why did he only choose to be the only one?

Seeing that the silly boy couldn't answer, Tang Yu simply stopped asking and instead asked a question that would trouble Fusu even more.

"Fusu, do you know why, in the past, when you and His Majesty disagreed, or when you misbehaved..."

"Why does His Majesty only mention you and not your other younger brothers and sisters? For example... that Prince Huhai?"

"That's because..."

Fusu opened his mouth, but found himself speechless, because he realized that the matter was indeed difficult to explain.

Yes, why is Father so angry about something I did wrong? Why wouldn't others be this angry?

Seeing that Fusu was just one step away from success, Tang Yu couldn't hold back any longer and offered some advice:

"That's because His Majesty's expectations for the other princes are not as high as for you, Fusu."

"Similarly, His Majesty treats you this way not because he wants you to do anything, but because he is your father! He loves you!"
