Zhang Yang is a broke streamer. The campus belle, Su Tian, invites him to northern Myanmar with the promise of “earning over ten thousand a month and rekindling their romance.” His fans spam the chat: Don’t go, they’ll harvest your kidneys!
Zhang Yang laughs. “Harvest my kidneys? Not a chance.”
He spends all his savings on a flight to northern Myanmar, only to be “picked up” the moment he lands by Su Tian and a group of armed thugs. The livestream chat fills with wails: The streamer’s done for.
The next second, Zhang Yang pulls out a Desert Eagle and guns down the guards. Two hundred fully armed special forces soldiers appear behind him out of nowhere. He receives points and can exchange them freely in the System shop. Tanks, artillery, arms factories: whatever he wants, he can get.
Su Tian begs through her tears. “Didn’t you come here to see me?”
Zhang Yang wipes down his gun. “I’m taking your turf.”
Within a month, he goes from a kidnapped “piglet” to a young marshal commanding tens of thousands of troops and sweeping across northern Myanmar. An anti-Zhang alliance? He levels them with heavy artillery. The Eagle Sauce ambassador comes to demand answers? Zhang Yang fires back on livestream: “Worry about your own business.”
He recruits soldiers, sells goods, builds cities, and farms. Other people burn money fighting wars; he earns points, and while he’s at it, he even folds the warlord next door into his ranks.
By the time Su Tian is regretting everything in prison, Zhang Yang’s new aircraft carrier has just launched. He grins at the camera. “Next target: bring the pirates into the fold. Family, hit that like, share, and subscribe?”
