    Modern online novelist Chen Kun transmigrated into the body of a useless young master in Zhenbeiguan, where barbarian cavalry was about to breach the city. At the critical moment of life and death, he awakened the "Play Hard and Get Stronger" system—killing enemies made him stronger, and he could even draw divine weapons with explosive power! From killing a barbarian vanguard with a single arrow to slaying the enemy chieftain… he carved a bloody path through mountains of corpses and seas of blood with the help of the system. When the various tribes of the grasslands united a million-strong army to press on his borders, the imperial court cut off his supplies and stripped him of his military power! Chen Kun, holding a blood-stained halberd, smiled: "It seems I'll have to take this supreme position myself." [Kiss]

    Reader note

    This book is complete. It doesn't feature any transmigration, rebirth, or cheat codes; it's a hardcore science and engineering work, requiring considerable reading patience. The narrative is smooth, humorous, and engaging. The subject matter is novel, blending science fiction and realism, with plenty of suspense and mind-bending reasoning. It's a slow-burn, high-energy read. The content covers history, workplace, military, scientific research, national security, criminal investigation, scheming, murder, as well as high-tech espionage, hacking, and electronic warfare. The ending is thought-provoking, the overall logic is largely closed, and it possesses considerable depth.
