[Current identity: a small-time trader on an international train]
[Today's luck: profits rolling in]
[Great fortune: A down-and-out Russian noble girl in Carriage Six is being extorted by gangsters. Save her with two bottles of Erguotou, and you'll receive a lead to a Far Eastern mine.]
[Fair: After getting off the train, visit the stall to the left of Red Square in Moscow. You can pick up a retired helicopter engine for a bargain.]
[Disaster: Whatever you do, don't trade furs with the bald brute! It's a gang-on-gang trap that will cost you both your money and your life!]
In the wild 1990s, Chen Feng boards the K3 international train to Moscow with a fortune-telling System.
He plans to keep a low profile, make a bit of money trading Erguotou and canned goods, and improve his family's lot through honest hard work.
But before he even crosses the border, he turns the tables on thugs trying to rob him and saves a down-and-out Russian noble girl who has the deed to a Far Eastern mine hidden on her.
After that, things get increasingly out of hand:
While other traders brave the elements and wear their legs out on the road, he uses the System's fortune-telling to beat everyone to the punch.
His regular trips to Red Square to sell goods turn into scavenger hunts through junk piles for “Mi-8 helicopter blueprints.” Back home, he buys a pile of scrap metal from a recycling yard, only to discover through testing that it's top-secret “single-crystal titanium alloy blades for aircraft engines”!
He snatches a steel allocation permit from an enemy, trades blueprints for five hundred military truck chassis, and makes a trip to the Shenzhen stock market, where he catches one limit-up after another and earns millions...
When he shows up at an airline with several railcars full of canned braised beef, hoping to trade them for three Tu-154 passenger planes...
The entire country's business and military-industrial circles erupt: You call yourself a small-time trader? You're a national strategic supplier in real life!
It's a purely enjoyable article, and it's okay to read it without thinking.
There are not so many twists and turns, it looks fun, but the update is still too slow, I guess it's because the water flow can't keep up and I'm too lazy to update.
It's okay, at least there's nothing major wrong with it so far.
