SIAS Chapter 76.3

Her face turned pale.

She couldn’t just throw such a big knife out like the blood-stained corpse soil. She could only put it in the system backpack first, comforting herself that it was at least an antique.

Besides, wasn’t it said that this kind of knife that had killed many people had a strong evil spirit on it, making it a sharp weapon for self-defense?

Yi Qingqing sighed. Her enthusiasm for signing in dropped a lot. Then, she went to the next sign-in location.

[You sign in at  the old tailor’s house signing location in Tieling County and obtain sewing skills.]

This sign-in location was pretty normal. It was a sewing skill with a teaching level of 82% at Level 2.

After riding for a while and turning a corner, she arrived under the big locust tree.

[You sign in at the sign-in location of the Land God Temple in Tieling County and receive a harvest talisman.]

“Harvest talisman?”

Another rare thing. Yi Qingqing found the yellow talisman paper folded into a triangle in the system space.

She discovered that this was actually an item with introductory information. You know, except for Yun Guyuan, she had never signed out an item with introductory information anywhere else!

[Harvest Talisman: A talisman paper with a trace of divine power from the land god. It can increase the fertility of a small piece of land so that it will have a good harvest in the next year. When using it, burn this talisman into ashes, mix it with water, and pour it into the target land to take effect.]

If there is after-sales service in the time travel and the system has customer service, she will definitely be frantically contacting them now.

Was this world really a scientific world? Didn’t they say that special skills could no longer be cultivated? So, how could such a thing be obtained by signing in?

No, maybe the things signed in were not necessarily scientific. The pills signed out of Yun Guyuan’s body were quite unscientific, but Yun Guyuan didn’t seem to be abnormal.

If she can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.

Anyway, this harvest talisman was a good deal. Two sign-in points could guarantee a year’s harvest. Wasn’t it much more cost-effective than the beheading knife that cost 1 sign-in point?

Thinking about it this way, even the shadow brought by the beheading knife dissipated a lot.

She continued to move to the next location.

[You sign in at the sign-in location of the funeral shop in Tieling County and obtain the incense-making skill.]

It was another skill, and the teacher’s skill level was at Level 5 – 99%, which could be said to be the person with the highest skill level she had ever seen.

The incense-making skill sounded good, but the incense-making skill signed by this funeral shop still made people a little worried, but it was not convenient to check it now.

She was very curious, and the sign-in point was only 1 point left by her, so she planned to go back to the village.

It was probably around two or three in the afternoon now. If she went back early, in addition to checking the new skills and items signed in, she could also practice hunting skills.

But she didn’t forget to buy books.

Finally, she went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought textbooks for various subjects in high school and also bought some notebooks. She put all of them in her backpack and rode her bike out of the county town.

When she arrived at the loess road intersection leading from the county town to Xiangshui Village of Daxing Commune, Yi Qingqing saw from afar Yun Guyuan sitting on his bicycle seat under the shade of a tree, with one foot on the ground and the other foot on the pedal, holding a book in his hand.

This man really reads books everywhere. He was out of tune with the people around him. Everyone who passed by couldn’t help but look at him, but he ignored these glances, which made the people around him quieter.

Four Beauties in China (Part 3)

Wang Zhaojun (王昭君)

Wang Zhaojun was born around 50 BCE, during the Western Han dynasty. Again reflecting the Zhuangzi, she was said to be so beautiful that her appearance would entice birds in flight to fall from the sky. Locally renowned for her beauty and skill at playing the pipa, she was chosen to be admitted into the harem of Emperor Yun, despite her young age. Despite her beauty, the emperor never visited her, as she had refused to bribe the official portraitists, who had then painted an unflattering portrait of her.

In 33 BCE, the Xiongnu Chanyu Huhanye came to the Han capital Chang’an on an official visit, and asked for a Han beauty as his wife as part of the marriage alliance system between the Han dynasty and the Xiongnu. The new emperor, Emperor Huan, ordered that the plainest woman from the harem be given to Huhanye, and so Wang Zhaojun was chosen, based on her unflattering portrait. The artist Mao Yanshou was subsequently executed for deceiving the Emperor.
