After being bound to the Livestreaming System of All Things, the Kangxi Emperor throws caution to the wind and tosses the script aside.
A Dzungar rebellion? Why fight a war? I'll just order ten thousand mutant berserkers from the apocalypse zone, with room and board and all five kinds of social insurance covered. Have them flatten the Northwest for me in a day!
The Yellow River bursts its banks and famine strikes year after year? What's there to panic about? I'll connect to the Celestial Masters' Mansion in the world of mysticism and trade a hundred thousand brand-new modern Huawei phones for three thousand Dragon Kings to descend and tame the waters, with a one-year warranty!
Modern people are green with envy over antiques? No problem! Trade me your agricultural technology and tech devices!
In just five years, while the nations of the world are still feeling their way across the seas, the Qing cavalry is already riding cutting-edge tech, sword immortals from the cultivation world are guarding the skies above the Forbidden City, and super-strong mutants from the apocalypse are hauling bricks on the Great Wall.
Kangxi, having abdicated early, lounges in a beach chair in the imperial garden and shouts into the livestream camera:
“Folks, the Great Qing's Intergalactic Free Trade Zone is open for investment! No visa or taxes today!”
A big shot from the cultivation world: “I'm running low on immortal pills. I heard the Great Qing has pork? Plenty to go around?”
An apocalypse survivor: “Please, we don't need weapons anymore. We just want a hot meal!”
A modern netizen: “I'll trade an entire production line for a one-day tour of the Forbidden City. Deal?”
