Wang Ye retires from the battlefield, bearing a body full of scars and a “special firearms permit,” and is reassigned to Beijing, where he moves into the Hongxing Courtyard.
As soon as he steps inside, he catches the Jia family trying to seize his east wing, while Yi Zhonghai takes their side and spouts about benevolence and morality.
Wang Ye lets out a cold laugh. I'm not falling for that!
“I crawled out of a pile of corpses. I'm not here to listen to a pack of beasts like you run your mouths!”
The [Ace Hunter System] activates! As long as he hunts within the courtyard, whether that means hunting prey or dealing with evil people, he can earn top-tier supplies and military merit points!
Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum? Treat her like a beast and scare her off!
Silly Zhu tries to throw a punch? Take him down with a single grappling move!
Yi Zhonghai starts a clique? Call his old comrades at the armed forces department to “set things straight”!
Watching Wang Ye wolf down meat every day with a “piece of hardware” tucked at his waist, all the beasts in the courtyard tremble: this new neighbor is not someone to mess with!
I had no desire to even click on a 500,000-word novel about courtyard houses, but this 100,000-plus-word novel is worth five stars, regardless of its plausibility. A good courtyard house is one without all that scatological stuff! 🤦
Some details aren't great, but it's still pretty enjoyable to watch.
