When Li Mo opens his eyes, he has become the most miserable soldier at the end of the sixteenth year of the Chongzhen reign.
His garrison is down to three old men and one cripple. News keeps coming in of villages being slaughtered by roving bandits, and Chongzhen's suicide is only three months away.
Just as all hope seems lost, the Fourth Calamity System suddenly appears.
From the start, he summons ten “battle maniacs” as players. Their equipment generates automatically, and they have a five-second unlimited respawn ability.
Watching the players grin and joke in front of him, Li Mo silently points toward the dust clouds in the distance.
“Target: wipe out that band of five hundred roving bandits.”
The players' eyes instantly turn red, and their howls shake the heavens.
Get to the main storyline quickly; it's pointless to keep progressing here. Fight the bandits, fight the Manchus.
The plot is poorly conceived. It's already the 16th year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, and the protagonist's development is like a tortoise—no food, no weapons, no population. They're even relying on hunting for food! Many chapters are just drawn-out, nonsensical drivel.
