Great Qin: From the Start, I Have Maxed-Out Literary Talent and Save the Ancestral Dragon’s Life

Gu Chen transmigrates into Great Qin and becomes an heir to Guigu’s literary tradition. Unfortunately, all his meridians are ruined, so he can only rely on his brains.

He thought he would lie low in the mountains as a nobody. Who knew Ying Zheng would come straight to his door? “Sir, I need you.”

Well, since the First Emperor himself has asked, Gu Chen might as well use his cheat powers.

Confucian on the outside, Legalist within; relief work through public projects; autonomous commanderies and counties; state monopolies on salt and iron… With this one-two combination, Great Qin’s national strength soars, and the remnants of the Six States tremble. Ying Zheng grins from ear to ear. “I’ve never seen such a smooth operation.”

However, just as Great Qin’s iron cavalry prepares to sweep across the realm, monsters from the age of myth break free from their seals. Ancient ferocious beasts and primordial demons fill the skies, and the end of the human world draws near.

The court officials kneel in a heap. “Your Majesty, run!”

Ying Zheng looks to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiles and pulls out a stack of blueprints. “Your Majesty, lend me the Directorate of Construction, the Mohist art of mechanical engineering, and three thousand craftsmen. Monsters? They’re just what I need for experimental materials.”

When Great Qin’s mechanical dragon smashes through the demon formation on Kunlun, and the rain of arrows from the god-slaying crossbows blankets the heavens and earth, Ying Zheng finally understands one thing

Gu Chen never meant to help him unify only the Six States.

He means to unify the entire world. No, the entire universe.
