Middle East: From the Start, One City to Build the Strongest Empire

Lin Fan, an unremarkable top student at a military academy, transmigrates.

From the start, he's in hell. He's become the new leader of a warlord faction in the Middle East, with a ragged, poorly equipped "slipper army" under his command, while the enemy's artillery booms deafeningly outside his window.

Just as he falls into despair, the Foundation of Civilization System activates.

As long as he builds cities and develops technology, he can unlock and manufacture superweapons that outstrip their era!

And so, a legend that shocks the world is born.

He uses swarms of drones to cripple an enemy nation's command center, turning its once-arrogant PMC into a laughingstock.

With his own efforts, he turns the desert into an oasis, creating "water of life" technology more precious than oil and driving the whole world wild.

When the Freedom Nation's carrier strike group arrives to threaten him, Lin Fan smiles faintly and commands his fleet of semi-submersible drone carriers to deliver a decisive, next-generation strike against the world's top navy!

As the president of the Freedom Nation angrily denounces Oman on television, Lin Fan's aerospace carrier is deploying "Rods from God" in outer space, ready to teach those arrogant fools a lesson.
