The Great Ming Pirate King: Hiding in the South Seas, I Imagine Myself into Godhood

A modern soul transmigrates into the body of Lin Daoqian, the 50-year-old "Overseas King," and gets bound to the Doubao AI assistant. The first thing he sees upon opening his eyes: Hong Dizhen's Hongmen Banquet. Using Doubao's microexpression analysis, he spots the ambush in advance and escapes unharmed with Lin Fengniang and the others. Zeng Yiben's fleet blocks the harbor. Lin Daoqian drops anchor and stops his ship, and Zeng Yiben's fleet charges in at full sail against the crosswind. Three warships collide and capsize. The protagonist doesn't fire a single shot. The rumors start flying... Hong Dizhen: "He saw through everything from the start. He's unfathomable!" Zeng Yiben: "That man has supernatural powers. I can't afford to provoke him!" Yu Dayou: "He has an inside man at court. Let's hold off on making a move." Lin Fengniang: "Uncle Daoqian, you've been making a grand plan all along, haven't you?" Lin Daoqian thinks to himself: "I'm just watching Doubao's updates. Could you all stop making things up?" He leads the group back to the Gulf of Siam and settles down to farm. While everyone else is still fighting over shipping routes, Lin Daoqian is already preparing to fake his death, give up his title as Pirate King, and hand the resources of the sea over to Lin Fengniang. He keeps trying to lie low, but it just won't work. One "risk-avoidance maneuver" after another, all guided by an AI expert's precise calculations, make him the most mysterious of the Seven Warlords. No one dares touch him. The court fears his "mysterious connections," and the Westerners begin to see him as their greatest threat. Then one day, Doubao calmly announces in a cute girl's voice inside his head: "Because of the Host's interference, a historical event has happened ahead of schedule. In Manila's Chinese district, the Spanish colonial government is discussing plans for a massacre. Estimated death toll: 25,000." Lin Daoqian stares out at the sea, silent for a long time. He sets down his teacup.
