   Sincerely dig deep into the private collection of the original masterpiece "Gaowu Beiyang: The refugees start the game, I push the great powers"! The story is rooted in the troubled times of Beiyang, and builds a new and original high-level martial arts world view. The rhythm is tight and smooth, and it is an immersive read that will completely captivate you. The protagonist Cao Zhenghao starts on the hell difficulty. He was born at the bottom of troubled times and became a homeless man in a desperate situation. His family is surrounded by walls and has no way out. There is no system, no chance, and no cheats in the whole process. With peak martial arts training, a half-life legacy in troubled times, and thousands of loyal followers, they all fought their way out of a mountain of corpses and gritted their teeth from a desperate situation of life and death. The grassroots counterattack is real and profound, and the sense of immersion is directly filled. The most poignant and tender highlight of the book is that the protagonist is young and lonely, and depends on his widowed aunt throughout the whole story. In the darkest years of chaos, famine, displacement, and eating grass to survive, only the widowed aunt never left him and tried her best to keep him alive. In the bitter cold years when no one was optimistic about him and no one could save him, the uncle and aunt supported each other, supported each other, and stayed together in desperate situations. In the cold and cruel chaos of the world, this gentle and clean bond line is particularly healing and moving. The characters are three-dimensional and emotionally solid, not greasy, not bloody, and sincere and easy to laugh at. The contrast between warm and cold style in the book is extremely comfortable: it includes the fireworks of the lower-class city in troubled times, the relaxed daily life of companions' fights, and endless nonsensical and hilarious famous scenes, which counteract the depression of troubled times; there are also unique high-strength explosive fights! The ancient Gangqi martial arts masters face off against the modern guns and firepower of Beiyang, the ultimate collision of the old and new eras, the fighting is high-energy and intensive, with punches to the flesh, the setting is novel and does not conflict with the style, and the intensity is online throughout. The long-term layout of the plot is extremely stable, with progressive layers, foreshadowing and closed loops, and the more it is written, the more powerful it is: the protagonist starts from a refugee with nothing, survives desperate situations, develops strength, fights through troubled times, gathers people's hearts, and accumulates strength. Don't be rash and impulsive, don't be greedy for vain fame, endure the layout step by step, and lay a solid foundation steadily. From struggling to survive, to standing in troubled times, gathering elites, dividing one side, and then gathering a group of sincere and loyal people with lofty ideals. In the middle and later stages, the pattern completely exploded: assemble the army to consolidate the territory, stabilize the people of one area, confront the warlords from all walks of life, and finally raise the flag to face the overseas powers, protect the border with iron blood, and push away the foreign enemies! There is warmth from the bottom, hilarious daily routines, passion for martial arts, power and forbearance, chaos among warlords, and the character of family and country! The plot is solid and engaging, the characters are consistent throughout, and the long-term storyline is ridiculously stable. The more you read, the more stamina you get. This is an original novel that book lovers can just close their eyes and dive into!
