I Tricked Li Er into Bowing, and a Glass Marble Became a Dragon Ball That Drives Off Enemies

In the early years of the Zhenguan era, on the banks of the Wei River.

Ji Chen, heir to the greatest con-artistry tradition, had barely taken over the body of a compulsive gambler when he was shoved into a pig cage and sentenced to drown in the river! Before him stood the entire imperial court, while across the river waited a hundred thousand Göktürk cavalry. The Tang dynasty was on the brink of ruin!

At the edge of life and death, his con began. With a cold laugh, he produced a glowing glass orb that had cost just 9.9 yuan with free shipping, then looked down arrogantly at Li Shimin. “I am an envoy of the Dragon King! Emperor of the Tang, why haven’t you led the people in kneeling to welcome the Dragon Pearl that will drive back our enemies?”

With nothing to lose, Li Er gritted his teeth and knelt.

[Ding! Imperial-level faith detected. The Make-Believe-Real Law is now in effect!]

A hundred thousand people watched as the cheap glass orb rose into the sky and transformed into a hundred-zhang water dragon. The Wei River surged backward, and three thousand Göktürk vanguard troops were wiped out in an instant by the flood!

From then on, powerful flashlights became the Tang dynasty’s demon-revealing mirrors, while shoddy clay figurines turned into immortal soldiers who swept across kingdoms! When gods from myriad worlds descended and saw the Tang dynasty’s absurdly powerful immortal treasures, they were left deep in thought…

Ji Chen spread his hands. “I’m just a con artist. How did I really trick the Tang dynasty into becoming a myth?”
