Alternate history + System shop + farming + Age of Exploration + firearms + land and sea warfare
Liu Yue transmigrates to ancient Dongning Island in a parallel world and unexpectedly obtains a Follower System.
He can clearly see how loyal everyone around him is. The more people follow him and the higher their loyalty, the more Follower Points he earns each day.
These points can be exchanged in the System for any technological achievement of human civilization.
In this otherworld, whose history has unfolded completely differently:
When sacks of fine rice are tossed before people who once resorted to exchanging children for food;
When fine salt explodes across their taste buds;
When even three-year-old children can afford new clothes;
When the smoke of the First Industrial Revolution rises over Dongning Island;
When tungsten-steel spears and armor crush the heads of Japanese pirates;
When smoke-belching ironclad ships sink the proud British ships of the line…
A yellow imperial robe is quietly draped over Liu Yue’s shoulders.
“You… you’ve really made things difficult for Me!”
“Well, in that case, the new nation shall be called Great Han!”
(A friendly reminder: This is not a rigorously researched historical novel. It won’t stand up to scrutiny, so please don’t read too much into the historical details.)
The world view is very interesting, I just wish I could fast forward to the steam age
