A large-scale cultural invasion quest

"Qin Ziying?" Ma Feifei was startled. This was just too much of a coincidence!

Who is Qin Ziying? In Ma Feifei's world, Sunzi of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ancient Huaxia Country dynasty, and the son of Fusu, also known as Third Emperor of Qin.

Qin Ziying was the last ruler of the Qin Dynasty, reigning for forty-six days. After Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, Qin Ziying surrendered, and the Qin Royal Dynasty officially came to an end.

This was originally a historical figure from Ma Feifei's world. Unexpectedly, this other world not only features a five-nation rivalry, but also a Qin State king known as the First Emperor, and now there's a figure like Qin Ziying. This is practically a microcosm of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient Huaxia!

In an instant, Ma Feifei remembered the Main Quest given by the system and fell into deep thought.

As Ma Feifei pondered, the Bookstore fell silent; Jing Xing and the two retainers from the Prince Qin's Manor recognized each other and then fell silent, as if there was some awkward past between them.

The figure with his back to Ma Feifei didn't dare to move either, his head buried in his chest, staring at the ground, seemingly lost in thought. The Prince Qin's Manor's retainers were the same, both silently lowering their heads without uttering a word.

The sudden suppression had completely extinguished the three men's will to resist; they were like lambs to the slaughter, waiting for Ma Feifei to decide their fate.

"Um, do you know Fusu?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the guards of the Prince Qin's Manor raised their heads and shook their heads with a puzzled expression.

Ma Feifei then looked at Jing Xing, only to see Jing Xing shaking his head blankly.

"It seems that Prince Fusu will not have a chance to appear." Seeing this, Ma Feifei could only feel sorry for the poor crown prince.

After confirming it was a coincidence, Ma Feifei became interested and asked curiously, "Is the Qin State particularly chaotic in terms of public security? Why are there so many chases and assassinations happening everywhere at night?"

Hearing Ma Feifei's words, Jing Xing, who was sitting in the corner, awkwardly moved his head away and silently continued reading his book.

The uninjured retainer from the Prince Qin's Manor's household, kneeling on the ground, clasped his hands and replied, "This woman attempted to assassinate the King of Qin at the banquet; we were merely ordered to apprehend her."

"Nonsense!" Before Ma Feifei could speak, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out in the Bookstore, startling Ma Feifei.

"Wow! It's a girl? I didn't realize..." Ma Feifei leaned on the cashier's counter, squinting at the person's back.

"It was clearly the King of Qin who tried to take liberties with me, and I was forced to resist. How can you distort the truth and make false accusations!" the woman shouted angrily.

'Judging from her voice, she should be around my age. Her voice has a touch of girlish innocence, yet also a hint of mature magnetism, somewhere in between. Based on this Analytic, it should be a young woman's voice,' Ma Feifei thought to herself.

"In any case, attempting to assassinate the King of Qin is a capital offense. I advise you to surrender obediently; perhaps the King of Qin will show you leniency," a retainer from the Prince Qin's Manor said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! Don't even think about it!" The woman snorted coldly, raised her head, and glared angrily at the two servants of the Prince Qin's Manor.

"You!" Enraged, the Prince Qin's Manor's retainer reached out to grab the woman, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a powerful force sweep over him, a sweet taste in his chest, and Spit Up a mouthful of blood.

Ma Feifei, watching from the back, found it boring. This was a typical scene of a tyrant encountering a virtuous woman: the tyrant tries to force himself on her but fails, the virtuous woman runs away, and then the tyrant, enraged, sends men to hunt her down.

"Alright, alright, if you want to fight, go outside and fight. Let's go, let's go." Ma Feifei waved his hand, and the two Qin family generals were immediately carried away.

Just as Ma Feifei was about to get the woman out, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Ma Feifei.

"Please, young master, save Lian Yi."

Ma Feifei glanced at the woman; she was quite pretty, but still not as pretty as Zhou Zhuling and Gongsun Qiong.

The honey trap didn't work; it was useless!

At this moment, the woman produced a flawless white jade paddle, which she held in her palm, and said, "This is the Great Desolation Relic Token. Anyone who holds this token can enter the Great Desolation Relic to seek opportunities. Lian Yi is willing to use this token in exchange for your protection, young master."

"The Great Desolation Relic Token?" Ma Feifei looked at the flawless white token in Lian Yi's palm, his eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

At this moment, Chang Kong, seemingly noticing Ma Feifei's confusion, explained in a low voice, "The Great Desolation Relic Token is Great Desolation Relic Token jointly issued by the Seven Great Academies. The Great Desolation Relic is one of the nine ancient relics. The Seven Great Academies somehow obtained the method to open the Great Desolation Relic and created the Great Desolation Relic Token. Anyone who possesses the Great Desolation Relic Token can enter the Great Desolation Relic, one of the nine ancient relics, to seek opportunities."

"Is it really that powerful? The Great Desolation Relic, one of the nine ancient ruins, is actually controlled by the Seven Great Academies." Ma Feifei nodded and stroked his chin as he spoke.

But this thing is useless to him... The greatest opportunity in the world is in Ma Feifei's own hands, so why would he need to look for any other opportunities!

Besides, entering ruins or secret realms in search of opportunities is usually a life-or-death situation; Ma Feifei is a total noob, what if he accidentally gets killed there? That would be the end of him!

Forget about ruins; what's the point of spending your days copying books in Bookstore and fooling the mother dragon?

Just as Ma Feifei was about to refuse the request, the system notification sounded.

'Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have triggered the Side Quest - The Book-holding woman.'

'Mission Details: Please recruit nine pure and innocent women to carry the rare copy of the Four Books and Five Classics.'

'Quest Reward: Nine Tianshu Fragment.'

'Ding! Congratulations, host, for triggering a large-scale cultural invasion mission— the Path of Imperial Examination.'

'Task Details: Please promote Confucianism culture in any one of the five kingdoms, add courses on the 'Four Books and Five Classics' to all academies, establish an imperial examination system, and hold examinations. The examination content will be the 'Four Books and Five Classics' (white paper). The books have been stored in the Supplier Warehouse, and the host can retrieve them from the Supplier Warehouse.'

'Task Reward: Countries that hold imperial examinations will receive the blessing of Righteous Qi, Flourishing of the Confucian Way, and everyone who reads can comprehend this Vast Righteousness and increase their cultivation.'

'Host Reward: Receive the title of Supreme Sage Teacher, possess the grand ambition of governing a nation, and achieve the Immortal Realm.'

At the same time, a large amount of relevant information flooded into Ma Feifei's mind.

"Tsk tsk." After hearing the system's task prompt, Ma Feifei couldn't help but smack his lips. Not only were the Four Books and Five Classics introduced, but courses on the Four Books and Five Classics were to be established in all academies, and an imperial examination system would be established and held to promote Confucianism and Daoism in this other world, directly carrying out cultural invasion.

This is an attack on all academies on the Azure Dragon Continent!

"This task is quite difficult!" Ma Feifei thought, stroking his chin.

To complete this task, we first need the strong support of one of the five kingdoms. So far, we only know the king of Yan State, Ma Feifei; we don't know any of the other four kings.

Moreover, Crown Prince Yan probably can't even protect himself, so Ma Feifei definitely can't be relied on; in addition, it would be best to set up such a place in a country with Mysterious Bookstore, since it's closer and easier to respond to any emergencies.

Of course, the most important thing is that there's Mysterious Bookstore behind you, so you don't have to panic no matter what you do.

Therefore, only the Qin State and Chu Kingdom are suitable at present. Compared to the Qin State, Ma Feifei is more familiar with the Chu Kingdom, after all, it is Ma Feifei's home base.

"Huh!" Mentioning the Chu Kingdom, Ma Feifei suddenly remembered something and asked Lian Yi, "Are you from the Chu Kingdom?"

Lian Yi nodded and said, "Reporting to young master, Lian Yi is indeed from the Chu Kingdom."
