The 1960S: I Make a Fortune with My Younger Siblings

What should you do when you arrive in the underfed and underclothed forests of Northeast China in the 1960s? Don’t worry. With the System in hand, the world is yours. Using his ability to “repair and synthesize materials,” Lin Weiguo turns the snow-swept Greater Khingan Mountains into his own personal cash machine. He ventures into the old forest and digs up a nearly rotten wild ginseng root, extracts its life essence, and saves the village’s sharpshooter. In return, he receives a cellar full of silver dollars from the Republic of China era. A wolf attack hits, and heavy snow seals off the mountain? He combines a mechanical bird with a modern crossbow, slashes his way through the wolf den alone, and synthesizes the wolf king’s pelt into a portable patch of farmland. While people outside fight over a couple of ounces of cornmeal, Lin Weiguo shuts his door and enjoys steamed buns made with white flour and meat with his younger siblings. They wear crisp, durable clothes and listen to a Shanghai brand radio. See how an ordinary worker’s son from a small forestry town carefully makes his way in the world, writing a legend of Northeast China’s forests through black-market trading, hunting, and treasure hunting!
