A Chaotic Age of Famine: One Daily Divination Fills My Granary with Food and Meat

In a chaotic age of famine and frequent natural disasters, people are reduced to eating their own children. Jiang Chen was once a modern-day crime boss, but after his soul enters the body of a petty thug with the same name, he wakes up starving and freezing in a ramshackle hut, despised by the villagers. Then he unexpectedly gains a daily fortune-telling System that lets him glimpse the secrets of heaven.

His first reading reveals where wild beasts roam, the second predicts an impending disaster, and the third exposes the enemy's movements. Guided by his readings, he hunts the wolf king, stockpiles cured meat, digs a cellar, and rescues an orphan girl. From a thug beaten to death for stealing grain, he rises to become the family's pillar of support.

While others struggle to survive, he knows what is coming. While others starve in the streets, he has meat in his pot. While others are at the mercy of their enemies, he secretly trains a private army. The more chaotic the world becomes, the safer his family is.

He turns the tide to his advantage, outwits the local gentry, breaks up bands of bandits, and grows rich through trade. In the end, he marries a worthy wife, raises his children, establishes a family legacy, and passes it down for a hundred years. In this turbulent age, he uses his divinations to carve out a way to survive, becoming a local power and ensuring his family's name endures.
