The 1980s: They Told Me to Lie Flat, but I Became the Tomb-Robbing King?

Code-named "Yanmo," Xiao Feng was the tomb-raiding king who had plundered every imperial mausoleum under heaven. After retiring one day, he went into hiding in Courtyard No. 36 in the Forty-Nine City.

He had meant to put his past behind him and live in peace, but he discovered that this little siheyuan was a human hell, more dangerous than any ancient tomb!

All the better!

He would use this siheyuan as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces, to stage a feast of gods and demons playing among mortals!

Neighborhood bullies trigger the Law of Karma, letting him seize the previous dynasty's secret treasures and earn his first fortune!

A shrew's slander triggers Great Karma, allowing him to take down an enemy spy den and earn the title of "National Hero"!

A beauty's mistreatment triggers Heaven-defying Karma, helping him find an ancient secret medicine and greatly increase his strength!

He turns a little siheyuan into an impregnable stronghold, making his name feared throughout the capital!

From a box of gold bars, to enemy spy secrets, to a sheepskin scroll pointing to an even greater treasure...

While the people in the courtyard were still congratulating themselves over a pound of pork or a few cents saved, endlessly scheming over petty gains and losses,

Xiao Feng had already risen to a height they could never imagine, watching coldly from above.

"You think we're playing neighborhood politics? No, I'm just enjoying the pleasure of having you trigger System missions for me!"
