[Parallel universe + immersive game + Ming dynasty + only the protagonist knows history]

Three months after the open beta of “Rise of Hongwu,” the world chat was buzzing.

“Haha, I’ve joined Zhang Shicheng, the filthy-rich tycoon!”

“I’ve got you beat. I’m a deputy general under Chen Youliang, in charge of hundreds of badass NPCs!”

Watching this bunch of fools in a parallel world rush to throw in their lot with the wrong people, Liao Fan, who knew how history would unfold, could only sigh inwardly: Well, enjoy yourselves.

Unable to log out of the System and terrified of dying, Liao Fan dutifully picked up the feverish beggar Zhu Chongba and became his meticulous strategist.

The top guilds in the game laughed at him for having rocks in his head. Who would play “Beggar Survival Plan” in a hardcore strategy game?

[Server-wide banner announcement in bold red text: Player Liao Fan has helped the faction “Great Ming” pacify Jiangnan, unlocking the one-of-a-kind, impossible-to-replicate title “Imperial Mentor for All Time”!]

The players who had been gloating just a moment ago fell silent. That beggar with the broken bowl... had wiped out the two invincible bosses, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang?!
