Tagline: This time, I’m not delivering takeout. I’m delivering the spark of a civilization.
On a stormy night, I was making my final delivery when I died trying to save a child after being hit by a car.
When I opened my eyes again, I was plummeting from the sky into the middle of a battlefield fought with cold weapons! Beneath me were enemy troops slaughtering civilians; before me was a bloodstained spear. At the brink of death, the Chinese Civilization Inheritance System forcibly bound itself to me. First mission: save fifty lives within thirty minutes.
Others transmigrate and become kings. I got bound to a “civilization delivery System.”
The rewards aren’t divine arts or immortal spells, but agricultural texts like Essential Techniques for the Welfare of the People, plans for the Dujiangyan irrigation system, and Mozi’s principles of fortress defense… plus the occasional contract stone for a Shan Hai Jing mythical beast.
I pass off self-heating hot pot as an “immortal stove,” use the lights on my electric scooter to scare off the enemy vanguard, and save a general who is the last surviving heir of the previous dynasty with a first-aid kit.
The day I was named Imperial Preceptor, I opened the System’s storage in a village strewn with starving corpses:
“First, grow enough food to feed everyone in the land.
Second, build cities where the people can live in peace.
Third…” I looked at the enemy army watching us like hungry tigers and smiled. “Teach them what ‘Huaxia’ means.”
Enemy cavalry at the gates? I lay out a simplified Eight Formation Diagram and turn lime powder into “immortal fog,” making them slaughter one another.
Grassland shamans spreading plague? I build quarantine zones, make disinfectant, and find medicine with the help of a lie-beast, breaking a thousand-year-old curse.
A drought demon ravaging a thousand miles of scorched earth? I bring deep-well technology and drought-resistant seeds, then call out from the front lines: “Natural disasters aren’t the same as man-made ones. Do you want to fight, or learn to farm with me?”
When the villages under my leadership are linked by irrigation, simplified Chinese is widely taught, and protective city walls are built with rune technology, an enemy princess arrives in secret and takes off
