From Cursed Wasteland to Civilized Oasis

Teng Xinyi transmigrates to another world with half a shipping container's worth of construction textbooks, arriving in the Red Wasteland, cursed by the gods.

Even the fiercest tribes fear this place. The water is poisonous, the earth is cracked, and sandstorms devour souls.

Using modern knowledge, he extracts antibiotics from red algae, channels water from the Sour Tears River through clay pipes, and builds the first clay kiln.

As an oasis appears in the desert, the Lord of the Red Sands rides in with his iron cavalry. "Heretics who desecrate this land of divine punishment must die!"

Teng Xinyi lights his homemade gunpowder, with displaced refugees gripping stone spears behind him.

"From this day forward, this cursed land will be called Xinyi City."
