Zhang Jianjun transmigrates into a courtyard compound and becomes a notorious loafer in Nanluoguxiang. With a courtyard full of vicious schemers eyeing him greedily, he activates the "Anything Can Be Bought" System.
On his first day, he sells a lighter to buy machine repair skills, stunning everyone at the steel mill's skills assessment.
Qin Huairu wants to leech off him? He sends her to a neighborhood study class.
Yi Zhonghai wants to throw his weight around as a master? Zhang Jianjun goes straight to befriend the workshop director.
Xu Damao reports him for profiteering? He turns around and reports Xu Damao for stealing the state-owned cinema's tickets.
With the System's help, he rises all the way to deputy director of the steel mill.
But then the winds shift. A high-ranking leader turns against him, framing him in a shocking miscarriage of justice and trying to have him killed!
With his back to the wall, Zhang Jianjun uses the System's trump card to fake his escape and secretly flee alone to Hong Kong.
Starting out in Kowloon Walled City, he makes a fortune trading stocks and hoarding land with one hand, taking on crime bosses with the other; he builds the nation through technology and strikes down British-backed tycoons.
And when the king returns, it's time to settle the old scores in the courtyard compound!
This is what you did when you were little!
