Totems of Civilization: From the Start, I Inherit the Mohist Mechanical City

Lu Ming, a top student of historical architecture, is crushed by powerful investors while trying to protect ancient buildings, and takes refuge in the massively popular online game Civilization's Journey.

Randomly assigned a desolate village from the start, he uses his knowledge of The Treatise on Architectural Methods to activate a Mohist village-building order.

He hides in cellars to evade the Xiongnu and builds rammed-earth walls with mortise-and-tenon joints to hold back a million troops!

He even unlocks a mechanical city that can evolve:

Terraced fields feed refugees, Canglang cavalry launch surprise raids, and when the ley-line engine roars, his entire territory rises from the ground!

“Others vie for supremacy by massacring cities. In this chaotic age, I'm building a mobile paradise!”

With Xu Yan, a strategist from a humble background, and Yun Qi, a Qiang female general, at his side, he recruits Zhuge to forge Mohist machines and wields civilization as a blade to cut through the darkness.

As Cao Cao's million-strong army bears down on him, Lu Ming activates his ultimate form:

“Just watch, everyone: I'm lifting this entire city and raising it to the heavens, dust and all!”
