Resistance War System + play the pig to eat the tiger + patriotic fervor + supplier golden finger]
In 1938, after Beiping falls, Tang Jiu’an transmigrates into the body of an inconspicuous grocery shopkeeper in a hutong. He bows and smiles obsequiously at the Japanese military police who come to buy peanuts. No one knows that beneath his counter lies a supplier System capable of turning goods into weapons!
Ten jin of Grade A rice can be exchanged for a jam-proof bullet. Five jin of dark soy sauce can get him an iron-cast grenade. Scrap iron can be forged into melee weapons sharper than the Japanese Army’s standard-issue sabers. As long as he earns enough reputation points, he can unlock everything from rifles and land mines to heavy artillery!
On the surface, he’s a cautious, honest merchant, delivering rice to the military police to study their sentry posts and defenses, and dealing with local thugs to obtain special purchase permits. In secret, he hides ammunition in peanut oil barrels and coffin compartments, then sends it to the resistance bases. At the Battle of Huangyakou, not one of the more than a thousand bullets he supplied jammed. His ten sabers snapped three Japanese bayonets. The entire Pingxi guerrilla unit privately calls him the “Ammo Bodhisattva”!
But Nakamura, head of the Special Higher Police at the military police headquarters, has his eye on him. The curves of his grain transactions and the guerrillas’ ambushes match almost perfectly. Plainclothes officers are watching the entrances to all three of his stores, while the rationing system has cut off ninety percent of his raw materials.
Tang Jiu’an stares at the panel. He is only 174 reputation points away from unlocking rifles. His fingertip settles on the conversion platform: production must not stop, and the bullets must not misfire. He is sure to win this race against the Japanese!
