What is martial arts? Martial arts have nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy, or painting; they have nothing to do with treasures or secret manuals; and there are no so many "world's best" martial arts. Martial arts are a skill, a skill that allows the weak to seize an opportunity to wield their swords against the strong. What is chivalry? Chivalry is not about romance or traditional culture; it has nothing to do with gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or modesty. Chivalry is violence; it's the bayonet forged by those forced into banditry for a tyrant. Cao Mo allied with Ke, then returned to Lu and invaded its territory. Zhuan Zhu presented roasted meat, pacified Wu, and usurped the throne. Zhang Di cried in the marketplace, then avenged his lord by smearing the latrine. He cut his throat to plead his case, acting swiftly and decisively. The tyrannical Qin dynasty stole his spirit, while cowards gained courage. This is a martial arts story. In the 1930s, a group of like-minded young people came together to work towards changing the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a certain landfill, Xiang Shan, the progenitor of cyber martial arts who had recreated the world and established his own system, woke up while chanting the name of his enemy, having lost all his memories. "Perhaps it's because I lost back then that the world has become the way it is..." "Then this time, I will not lose!" This is the story of one person who changed the world once again!

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

Han Xiao, a veteran power leveler in Starsea, was thrown into the transmigration army by a mysterious force from the East. He was transformed into an NPC with a player panel and returned to the time before the open beta of Starsea. He resolutely chose the most difficult mechanical class. Warships lined up across the starry sea, star mechs soared like dragons, psionic cannons ravaged the heavens and earth, and an endless mechanical army quietly waited in their personal storage. One person is an entire legion! If it weren't for the players, this book would be a serious and proper isekai (another world) story...
