In the 1960s, a baby abandoned on a snowy night was taken in by an elderly scavenger. He had no household registration or identity, and even his name, Chen Ye, was pieced together by the old man from characters on a scrap of cloth. By the age of three, he already knew that fists were the only rule. Bullied? Hit back. Someone stole his food? Take it back. From street punk to factory boss, from black-market kingpin to business tycoon, he fought his way up without wasting words. The more arrogant his enemies, the harder he hit; the stronger his opponents, the faster he leveled up. No agonizing introspection, no beating around the bush, just fighting, leveling up, reaping rewards, and fighting again. This is the story of an abandoned child who used his fists and blood to carve out a road to the top amid the tides of his era.
If you're tired of drawn-out setups and overwrought inner monologues, this book is for you. Chen Ye is fighting from Chapter One: for a bite to eat, to settle a score, or simply to stay alive. Every chapter is packed with satisfying moments, and every fight brings tangible rewards: win today, and you can level up tomorrow; pocket some cash this chapter, and buy better gear in the next. The author has hardwired the very idea of a feel-good power fantasy into the story's DNA: the enemies have to be so infuriatingly arrogant that your teeth grind, before Chen Ye punches them to their knees and makes them beg for mercy. The level system is clear enough that you can count his progress on your fingers, from major ranks to minor ones; breakthroughs are demanding, but the rewards are explosive. No filler, no padding, just an era-spanning story of passion and hard-hitting brawls. Watch Chen Ye go from an abandoned baby with no name or identity,
