They Call Me a Living Bodhisattva for a 50-Yuan Daily Wage

Modern young man Li Ge transmigrates after a car accident and becomes a penniless scholar in the final years of a fictional dynasty. Bound to the “Shady Middleman System,” he discovers that hiring people to work for him lets him print money without limit, while modern goods in the System shop are absurdly cheap. A bag of rice nets him a forty-coin profit, instant noodles win him loyal servants, and cement lets him build a mansion. Before long, Niu Family Village has become a thriving new city.

“Forty in net profit for one day’s work? I’m in!” Li Ge sneers at empty air. A bag of Northeastern rice costs ten yuan in the System shop, then he sells it to villagers for fifty. Three-yuan pork trotter rice fills the bellies of eight hungry men. As he builds a business empire with instant noodles, it’s modern-day profiteers versus starving apocalypse survivors.
