Chen Liang transmigrates into a chaotic age as a humble blacksmith. He forges treasured blades, crafts fine armor, produces gunpowder, and builds infrastructure.
All because his blacksmith shop can multiply anything without limit.
I just want to keep my head down and focus on production. Why are you all forcing my hand? Get down on your knees!
Brother Liang, the prince wants to buy a thousand sets of iron cavalry armor, but he's short on cash.
Leave his sister here as collateral. Lend him the money at ten percent interest.
Brother Liang, the emperor wants to buy twenty thousand long sabers and is offering to make you a prince.
A prince? I don't care about that. If he'll abdicate, I'll supply them for free!
Brother Liang, what are you tinkering with?
This? It's called a Maxim gun.
At last, Chen Liang became the renowned King of War on the continent.
The wars of this world began because of him,
and the wars of this world ended because of him.
But sometimes, he still got upset.
“When you're in trouble, you come to me and say, ‘Mr. Liang, please help me see justice done.’ But you don't respect me, you don't show me any goodwill, and you won't even call me by my title: King of War.”
