Cao Jinxing takes his newly created top-tier character into the full-dive online game Great Rivers and Lakes, becoming a low-ranking Embroidered Uniform Guard in a high-martial-arts version of the Great Ming dynasty.
Thanks to his extraordinarily high innate attributes, he discovers that he is light on his feet and strong, with sharp hearing and keen eyesight, a photographic memory, and the ability to divide his attention among several tasks at once...
He can learn any martial art at a glance, and with a little practice, unleash its full power.
Just as the court is rife with intrigue, foreign tribes invade the northwest, Japanese pirates wreak havoc in the southeast, the various Central Plains sects vie for power, and the demonic path waits for its chance to rise...
Peerless martial arts manuals, rare treasures, exotic birds and beasts, and the treasures of a former dynasty all begin to appear...
Cao Jinxing declares: If I don't make something of myself, I'll be letting these supreme talents of mine go to waste!
So, clad in a flying-fish uniform and wielding an embroidered spring saber, he rises to prominence under the name of an "imperial lackey" and takes on the entire martial world.
(PS: In this novel, the Northern Pacification Office is a martial arts faction officially cultivated by the game world, and differs somewhat from its original portrayal. Please don't flame the author if you dislike this.)
