I Unlock a New Ability Every Day and Slaughter My Way Through the Espionage War!

Shen Mohan, a criminal investigation archives researcher from 2024, unexpectedly transmigrates to the Central Army Officers' Academy in 1936. When he wakes, a cold prompt appears in his mind: Day One, ability unlocked: Unlimited Money.

He thinks he must be losing his mind.

That is, until his fingertips touch the gold bars that have appeared out of nowhere beneath his pillow.

After that, every time the number of days doubles, a new ability blossoms like fireworks in the dark: spatial storage, danger prediction, weapons forging, medicine synthesis... Every one of them could turn this era, soon to be swallowed by war, upside down.

But he knows all too well that in China in 1936, one's identity matters more than one's abilities.

The moment his teacher arranges for him to join the Military Statistics Bureau, Shen Mohan steps onto a path where he must dance with death: hunting down Japanese Kempeitai infiltration networks abroad, navigating factional power struggles at home, and secretly carving out a path of survival for those destined to triumph.

He is the youngest field team leader in the Military Statistics Bureau.

He is the faceless death god on the Japanese Kempeitai's wanted list.

He is the “Shadow,” an unseen ally whom the underground Communist Party entrusts with their lives.

And no one knows his deepest secret: every countdown to an ability unlocking is pushing him toward an even more dangerous future.
