Spend It All or Lose Lifespan: I Built a Sci-Fi Village

[Urban + Infrastructure + System + No heroine] No heroine! No heroine! No heroine! (We’re saying it three times because it’s important.)

Lu Ze, an overworked corporate drone, pushes himself until he has a heart attack, then storms back to Longqi Village to lie flat. But he unexpectedly binds himself to the [Infrastructure Tycoon System].

Ten million yuan a day, deposited in his account for free! But there’s a ridiculously strict rule: the money can only be spent in this run-down village without even an electricity connection. Anything unspent is deducted from his lifespan!

Unable to spend all that money, Lu Ze is driven to activate the System’s [Years of Time Instances].

Can’t hire a team of traditional builders? He goes to the Ministry of Works in the Ming Dynasty and apprentices for ten years, honing his skills until he becomes a successor to Lu Ban and builds a magnificent nail-free tower with one hand!

Can’t find a top chef? He spends three years slicing potatoes in the Qing imperial kitchen, then sells a bowl of egg fried rice for a fortune!

No transportation? He heads to the wasteland to scavenge junk, then builds an antigravity hovercar by hand!

A few years later, when billionaires and financial magnates trek over the mountains to visit, the whole internet goes wild!

“You call this a poor village? The aunties patrol on hover motorcycles? The guard at the village entrance flips an armored car with one hand? You need to enter a lottery and wait three years just to try a farmhouse stir-fry?”

Wearing nothing but a pair of baggy shorts, Lu Ze sighs helplessly. “Stop exaggerating! At first, I really just wanted to spend my pocket money to stay alive!”
