Lu Qingchuan transmigrates to the fourth year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty and becomes a down-and-out man saddled with a huge debt of thirty strings of cash.
From the start, he has only seven days before he is sold into slavery. Fortunately, he activates the "Pitch In System."
As long as he gets people to interact by "chopping once" and earn assistance points, he can unlock countless blueprints for technology from across the ages!
And so, the whole Tang Dynasty changes its tune.
"Auntie Zhou, the proportions in your flatbread recipe are off. Help me chop once, and I'll trade you a curved-blade plow!"
"Miss Ashina, stop hiding. Lend me your head for a moment so we can pitch in for a blast furnace and make steel!"
Then, one day, in Taiji Palace.
Lu Qingchuan grabs Li Shimin by the hand. "Your Majesty, we're just 100 points short. Chop once, and I'll pitch in to build you a steam engine!"
Li Shimin breaks down. "Lu Qingchuan, you've plucked every last bit of wool from the Tang Dynasty's sheep!"
Thus begins the Tang Dynasty's rise as an empire on which the sun never sets.
