From Warlord to Technological Empire

After staying up all night working on experiments, Xiao Xian, a 26-year-old engineering PhD, fell asleep. When he woke again, he realized he must have died suddenly. Everything had changed: he had become Qin Xiaoxian, the young master of the Qin family in Shanghai during the Republic of China era. “Sis, how could this happen?” “Xiaoxian, you were studying in America when Grandpa passed away. I couldn't wait for you, so I went ahead and took care of his funeral. Before he died, Grandpa told me to give this to you with my own hands.” He took the small wooden box his sister handed him and opened it. The moment he saw what was inside, he was stunned. “This, this is...” Qin Xinping smiled faintly. She had already expected her younger brother to react this way. “These are the deeds to the land in Pudong that Grandpa bought from a warlord years ago. Also, there's a basement in his study. Grandpa said that if you can open it, everything inside is yours. If you can't, then let those things remain hidden.” “Ding! God-Tier Sign-in System successfully bound. Current location detected: the Qin family manor in the French Concession of Shanghai, during the Republic of China era, on the parallel-world Blue Star. Sign in?” “Sign in,” Qin Xiaoxian silently said to himself. His hands trembled with excitement. As expected, surviving a great calamity brings good fortune. “Ding! Sign-in successful. Reward: memories of the original owner.” The flood of the original owner's memories made Qin Xiaoxian tremble even more, though he had already been overwhelmed with excitement. “Xiaoxian, are you all right?” As the nation rises during the Republic of China era, Blue Star's parallel world will forge a different path to becoming a great power.
