My Empire Depends Entirely on Players Grinding

Transmigrated into a useless, foolish emperor in a cliché power fantasy, I’m about to have the Son of Fortune, the “Dragon King,” storm the palace and force me to kneel and apologize from the start? The powerful ministers are watching for a show, the Empress Dowager is sneering, barbarians are at the border, and vassal kings are rebelling. What a hellish start! Fortunately, the Fourth Calamity Summoning System has awakened! Spend the nation’s fortune to summon an army of “players” from another world: fearless warriors with utterly bizarre ways of thinking? From that moment on, the whole world’s tone went completely off the rails. Dragon King protagonist: “Foolish emperor! I’ve endured humiliation for three years. Today, all I ask is that you apologize!” Our players: “Whoa! A gold-tier legendary humanoid boss! Guys, let’s go for the first kill! It dropped loot!” Enemy army: “Our troops are strong and numerous. We’ll crush the capital in no time!” Our players: “The PVP national war is finally open? Don’t stop me, I’m going to get myself killed and farm achievements!” Powerful minister: “Your Majesty, the treasury is empty. We have no means to provide disaster relief!” Our players: “Look at the new pinned forum post! A grinding quest! It rewards contribution points that can be exchanged for flying swords!” Zhao Heng, seated high on the dragon throne, smiled faintly. The Dragon King? The powerful ministers? Enemy nations? No, you’re all just experience packs I use to “trick” the players into risking their lives.
