When he opens his eyes, he is back in 1980. With nothing but bare walls and vicious neighbors all around, his start is a Siheyuan dungeon on hell difficulty. There is the parasitic Qin Huairu, the malicious Jia Zhangshi, the hypocritical First Uncle, and the endlessly scheming Xu Damao... As the “sickly one,” Lin Yuan is everyone's idea of an easy target.
But they don't know that a cold mechanical voice is echoing in the mind of this “sickly one”:
“Ding! Sign-in at the [Siheyuan]. Reward: [Body-Strengthening Pill], [10 yuan in cash]!”
“Ding! Sign-in at the [Future Night Market]. Reward: [God-Tier Barbecue Recipe], [1,000 yuan in startup capital]!”
“Ding! Sign-in at the [Abandoned Factory]. Reward: [Blueprints for a Revolutionary Production Line]!”
While all the courtyard busybodies are fighting tooth and nail over a ticket for a pound of pork, Lin Yuan has quietly become the king of the night market. While Silly Zhu is fretting over helping Qin Huairu, Lin Yuan's canning factory is already conquering the national market.
He watches coldly as these ridiculous clowns are swept away by the tide of the times. The stunning young woman Niannian, whom he saves on a whim, turns out to possess mysterious martial arts skills. The feuds among Hong Kong's wealthy families that come to light through her become the strongest catalyst for his rise!
Who says a hidden dragon must wait in the depths? I'm Lin Yuan, and I'm making my dragon rise from the very start!
