Su Chen transmigrates back to the Tang dynasty, inherits a mountain stronghold, and becomes a carefree mountain chief. With the support of the Idlefish System, he transforms the stronghold in just three years, and life is pretty comfortable.
One day, his underlings capture two wealthy landowners. They think they've caught a fat sheep, but it turns out they've brought back a pair of chatterboxes.
"Just how do you grow potatoes?"
"How dare you! You can't just slaughter farm oxen as you please!"
"Whoa! This repeating crossbow is a true divine weapon. Could you teach me how to use it?"
Landowner Li goes on nattering day after day, making life at the stronghold unbearable. But for the sake of the hundred thousand taels in ransom, Su Chen decides to let the old fool off.
Who knew the man would only get worse!
"I might as well come clean. I am the Son of Heaven of the Tang!"
When nobody pays him any mind, the landowner becomes even more brazen: "I might as well come clean. I'm the chief's father!"
Hearing that, Su Chen slams his hand on the table in fury!
Good grief...
Pretending to be the emperor is one thing, but now you want to take advantage of me too!?
