Guo Yu transmigrated.
In his previous life, he was a hard-working, miserable game NPC. In this life, he was a collateral descendant of a prominent Yingchuan clan.
The System told him this was a strategist-raising system.
He was in Yingchuan, one of the largest training grounds for aspiring strategists at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. His older cousin was ambitious, his younger cousin was gathering exceptional talent, and among his classmates, some with the makings of great ministers were biding their time, while others were plotting rebellions...
His task was to build his reputation, make his debut, and become the MVP strategist.
Countdown: [24:00:00]
The System gently reminded him: "You have less than 24 hours left to live. Please complete today's Principles of Self-Cultivation for Strategists as soon as possible to extend your lifespan."
Guo Yu: ...
Could an NPC who only knew how to kill people and dig up graves really have that kind of self-cultivation?
He felt no pain, had little sense of morality, and was incredibly hard to kill. Someone like him was the perfect expendable asset of war, in both his past and present lives.
If he couldn't become a noble moon in the sky, perhaps there was still a use for someone expendable like him?
But first, how was he supposed to survive the day?
