Zhang Kai transmigrates into the body of Zhang Kai, a martyr's orphan nicknamed the Little Devil. His third uncle and aunt spoil him, his father's comrades look out for him, and while he acts like a good-for-nothing on the surface, in secret he controls the buying and selling of goods across six alleys.
The System that came with his transmigration has two hundred million dollars and a global supply chain, with anything he could want. It has just one flaw: a daily limit of twenty dollars. Zhang Kai is delighted. That's plenty. Taking things slowly is the sensible way to do it.
With the black market under heavy scrutiny and Sun Lijun from the public security office refusing to let up, Zhang Kai makes a quick decision: leave the black market behind, give his men generous settling-in money, let his cousins have the job placements, and volunteer to go to the countryside himself. He can lie low and enjoy a vacation at the same time.
Before leaving, he warns them, "I signed up to go to the countryside of my own accord. If anyone talks behind my third uncle and aunt's backs, I'll remember where your stove is."
With a single countryside registration form, the Little Devil becomes "a true credit to a martyr's family."
When he gets to Liushugou, he hands out cigarettes and makes connections, becoming sworn brothers with the commune officials in three sentences. When a troublemaker starts acting up on the ox cart, he slaps him into line, then offers him a cigarette. When a wolf pack surrounds their camp at night, he takes a bottle of the System's incendiary oil and lures the wolves over. Once a wall of fire seals them in, he turns and waves at their shadows. "I'm done playing with you."
For everyone else, going to the countryside means hardship. For Second Master Zhang, it means vast lands and boundless opportunity.
