From the Start, I Have a Sand Table: Locking Down the Strait of Hormuz in the Game

Qin Mo earns 4,500 yuan a month. He graduated from a third-rate university and is a low-level temp at a think tank.

In front of everyone, Wang Jianguo flings a PowerPoint presentation at his face. "With your level of expertise, you think you're qualified to study the Strait of Hormuz?"

That night, a geopolitical simulation sandbox appears on Qin Mo's phone.

Whatever he does in the game becomes reality 24 hours later.

He tries clicking once:

P Country holds military exercises and blockades the Strait of Hormuz.

The next day, global oil prices skyrocket, merchant ships are stranded, and the president of Country M calls an emergency meeting in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, the crude oil futures Qin Mo bought in advance have tripled in value.

From then on, others simulate the world, while Qin Mo rewrites it.

Blockade straits, reshape energy markets, reap the profits, and crush every so-called expert.

While his mentor is still pontificating in the conference room, Qin Mo is already sitting in his shared rental, deciding where the next global storm will begin.
