Zhang Wu, who had spent his whole life being a pushover, is reborn in his younger days, in the era of Reform and Opening Up, when everything was starting from scratch.
He unexpectedly gains the power of the Dragon King. From then on, the world's oceans are his own backyard.
One casual cast of his net brings up high-value seafood: giant lobsters, groupers, and king crabs.
Humans have sailed the seas for thousands of years, and the ocean floor is full of countless treasures. Zhang Wu can pick them up as easily as anything else.
The enemy's warships have reached his doorstep? He can simply control the water and immobilize them.
From the mainland to Hong Kong, then to Japan and even across the ocean to the United States, his business keeps growing and his path takes him farther and farther. Women from all over the world eagerly pursue him, too.
He spends his money buying islands around the world, then donates them all to his country to build naval bases. Only then do the world's great powers realize how foolish they've been.
The story's timeline differs from reality for the sake of the plot. Please don't take it as a direct parallel.
Thanks for following, liking, and asking for updates. It means a lot to me.
If the numbers are good, I'll post extra chapters. 6,000 to 2,000 words, plenty to go around.
