[Farming] + [Behind the Scenes] + [Conquest] + [Building a Faction]
Qin Ming transmigrated to a wondrous world where martial arts flourished, and cultivation was the only path forward.
Unfortunately, he couldn't cultivate, but the System could cultivate for him.
The catch was that he had to acquire territory, with the area of his lands determining the martial arts realm he could exchange for.
With no other choice, Qin Ming had to start with an abandoned mine. He opened a mining operation, swallowed up escort agencies, built martial academies, became a city lord, founded a sect, and established a dynasty.
And that wasn't all. What good was owning territory if people could come and take it? Qin Ming began recruiting martial artists and forming a mine-protection squad, then a mine-protection battalion, a Mountain-Suppressing Battalion, a Mountain-Suppressing Army, a Frontier-Guarding Army, a Frontier-Pacifying Host, an Expanding-Frontiers Royal Army...
He also needed to provide for the people's livelihood,
He also needed prestige,
He also needed businesses,
Qin Ming couldn't help feeling that a lord had far too much to do.
