In the final years of the Great Qian dynasty, years of drought leave nine out of ten households empty.
Special forces soldier Xie Zheng transmigrates into this world and can’t even find enough to eat from the start.
Luckily, he gets bound to the [Wise Ruler Development System].
System: “Ding! Reward: one spirit-blood fluffy chicken. Host, raise it carefully and collect its spirit eggs.”
Looking at the plump hen, Xie Zheng snaps its neck, heats the oil, and stews it into chicken soup!
“Ding! Warning! Host has violated the rules! Beginner compensation triggered. Reissuing reward!”
The next day, Xie Zheng looks at the mutant ironbone chicken the System has sent him and reaches for his cleaver again.
Xie Zheng: “You’re telling me this is an option? I’m exploiting this bug for all it’s worth!”
And so, the whole story takes a completely different turn.
The System tells him to bind a peerless divine weapon with his blood. He turns around and sells it on the black market for five thousand jin of meat.
The System tells him to spend a romantic evening with the most beautiful woman in the world. He hands her a butcher’s knife and sends her off to castrate wild boars.
While other people are fighting to the death over half a piece of tree bark during the famine, Xie Zheng frets over whether to have braised bear paw or steamed spirit fish for dinner.
When foreign cavalry ride south and the warlords vie for control of the Central Plains,
Xie Zheng leads a horde of tough-as-nails monsters raised on System bugs and cuts a bloody swath through the entire age of chaos!
The System breaks down in tears: “Please, just act like a person! You’ve plucked me clean down to my underwear!”
