From the Start, I Inherited a Bandit Stronghold and Took My Best Friends to Conquer the Chaotic Age

After his father dies suddenly, leaving their stronghold without a leader, Zheng Chen wakes up as the most inconspicuous young chieftain in this chaotic age. He only wants to slack off, lie low, and make it through the days, but one after another, he runs into old friends: officials dispatched by the imperial court, craftsmen from great clans, daughters of renowned physicians, merchants from the streets... A group of old friends who transmigrated, each with their own talents and role to play. Some wield blades and mete out death, while others plot in secret; some make fortunes in business, while others gather intelligence; some forge machinery to strengthen their foundations, while others heal the sick and bring peace to the people. Amid the chaos of war, court intrigue, and rival nations, they rise from humble beginnings and contend for supremacy by winning hearts. Starting with a single mountain stronghold, they travel across the land and roam the world. Slacking off is only for now; contending for supremacy is their life's purpose. A group of old friends, one weapon forged in troubled times: together, they will claim dominion over all four corners of the world.
