Modern special forces soldier Wang Dong is caught in a shell blast during a mission and transmigrates into the body of a young man named Wang Dong in a parallel world resembling August 1937 in the Republic of China. He is a country boy from one of the Republic’s thirteen ancient capitals, and the only one left in his family. He happens to pass the landlord’s house and glance over, so the landlord’s lackeys beat him up. He staggers home, lies down on his bed, and dies, leaving the body available for the modern Wang Dong to move into. He also gets bound to a System, which rewards him with an unlimited storage space. It can store anything, including living creatures. See how this modern special forces soldier stirs things up in the Republic of China. He starts by using his space to steal and plunder the landlord’s property: huge quantities of grain, furniture, carriages, everything in the kitchen, and weapons. He finds a secret room in the landlord’s house, full of money, all of which becomes Wang Dong’s. The System assigns him a mission: within three months, loot the bandit stronghold thirty li away, taking everything from it, and plant a few booby traps for the bandits. Carrying his supplies north, Wang Dong intervenes whenever he sees injustice, wiping out bandits, tyrants, and landlords, and storing all their plunder in his space. When he encounters poor people, he gives them grain and silver dollars. He reaches the Shanxi border by the Yellow River and takes on the Japanese alone, raiding their armories, granaries, and supply depots, stripping them of all their supplies and weapons. The Japanese become terrified, not knowing who is robbing them. Watch how Wang Dong uses his space to pull the same tricks as the bandits, stealing from and robbing the Japanese.
The System gives missions that award points, which can be spent in its shop to buy anything, from satellites, aircraft carriers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles to needles and thread. Every so often, the System also assigns Wang Dong missions to rob and kill Japanese soldiers for points. Everyone starts calling him the Ghost King.
