The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma.

Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent.

To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river.

To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives.

The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

"Some people say I have a bad personality? I admit it."

"But compared to those 'gentlemen' who cram a bunch of data into players' fancy packaging, at least I'm honest—"

"My game will torture you, and then you'll come to love that torture."

Jiang Chen transmigrated to a parallel world where games were scarce, filled only with the same old "XX Legend". A programmer laid off in his previous life, he was now bound to the [Emotional Game System]: collecting players' emotions (100% negative value) to exchange for complete game blueprints for Earth.

Thus, he became the "devil designer" that players both loved and hated. First, he released the torturous "If You're a Man, Go Down 100 Floors" to reap negative emotions, then he countered with the free "Plants vs. Zombies" to subvert the industry. Players complained that "every masterpiece he releases is followed by a 'torture' game."

League of Legends ignited esports for all, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice broke the silence of streamers across the internet, and Minecraft empowered creativity. He insists on free-to-play online games, offering single-player games at rock-bottom prices in China and double the price in overseas regions, and refuses all capital investment: "They just want to build ATMs, but I want ATMs to experience the thrill."

The world thought he was just a fun-loving person, unaware that every night he paid tribute to Earth's game galaxy within the system. Every bit of negative emotion he collected ultimately transformed into a vast gift from another universe, offered to this desolate world.

"Happiness that comes too easily is like sugar water; it's sweet and then forgotten. The happiness that comes after conquering pain is like wine; it lingers in your bones." — Jiang Chen

"The ability to jump to distant spaces in an instant, isn't that Amenotejikara?" "The flames of the spirit particles, once touched, will endlessly burn everything, I know! This is Amaterasu!" "But I'm Ishida Uryu!" Ishida Uryu originally thought he could just be an observer watching a deaf boy save the world, but he changed his mind.

After the Second Honkai Impact ended, Otto used the genes of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, and Kiana to create the clone K423.

Two years after being taken away from Schicksal by Siegfried, K423 was unexpectedly awakened by the Herrscher of the Void, which revealed the whole truth and her own origins to her.

Unable to accept this, K423 chose to run away from home so as not to hurt Siegfried. On the way, she encountered a Honkai Beast and was rescued by Janna from another world. From Janna, she learned that she had the Liu family bloodline inherited from Sirin's father.

So after K423 took over the Snow Wolf that Janna had entrusted to Emperor Gaozu of Han (Liu Bang) and mastered the guardian spirits from both worlds, he named himself "Liu Yuchan" and also called himself "Kiana" as a nickname.

………………

"Heaven and earth rise and fall in a single day, and all things rise and fall in vain. If you dare to take another step forward, then I, Bing Tong, will get serious."

Otto, seeing Liu Yuchan's confident face, "kindly" sent Durandal and Rita forward to attack.

"Miss Kiana, please enlighten me."

"Instead of running away, you should decide where you go like a warrior."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuchan spread his hands confidently and said.

“You have an army, but I have five tigers.”

………………

After gazing at the distant ocean in a serene daze for a while, Liu Yuchan raised the twin swords at his waist and spoke.

"Great Ancestor, today your descendants make a wish upon you: that you, along with the Five Tigers and my parents... join me in turning the world upside down!"

Mei Qian transmigrated and became a primordial deity.

I wanted to just lie low and give up, but the gods were watching me like hawks.

Fortunately, there's always a way out; the game design system was activated.

A glimmer of hope has been found, but the mission is far too absurd.

[Train the player's physical skills until Iron Fist reaches 0/1000]

"Just say you want players to smash their tables, what's with the 'iron fist' thing?"

With tears in her eyes, Mei Qian pulled out the three-piece set of "Trojan Virus," "King of Jump," and "Dead Cells," forcing the player to master the Undying Grip.

[Increase player's Tear Point Mastery: Teardrop Contract 0/5000]

"This is a bit troublesome. If I really make her cry, she won't be happy..."

Mei Qian's hands never stop moving; Undertale, To the Moon, Lost and Found, and What Remains of Edith Finch follow one after another.

Players transformed into ruined kings, overflowing with negative energy.

Even the gods couldn't hold back and joined the hunt for the "God of Games."

Mei Qian: I didn't force you to play, look at you, you're in such a hurry again.

There's no going back now.

Overcooked, Kill the Spire, Call of Duty, Persona, Assassin's Creed, and Borderlands have emerged as major titles.

I just copied a terrible game, how did I become a supreme god?

A terrifying legend has been circulating among the demons lately: Never mess with that new guy named Chen Nian from the Psionic Bureau, that guy is not human at all!

The Heart-Eating Demon was crushed by his single punch!

Even a thousand-year-old corpse king couldn't withstand a single finger from him!

He slaughtered the headquarters of the evil god cult overnight, turning it into a wasteland!

The demons trembled in fear, and the "Survival Handbook" was urgently updated with the number one taboo: Better to run into the King of Hell than to encounter Chen Nian!

The once brutal and bloodthirsty demon wept bitterly: "Big brother, spare me! I have elderly parents and young children to support, please don't kill me!"

The once lawless and unruly cultivators collectively surrendered: "We want to surrender, as long as Chen Nian isn't sent, we'll cooperate with everything!"

In the Psionic Bureau's archives, old files were urgently encrypted, with comments in blood red: "Extremely dangerous! Extremely efficient! Peace-loving?"

Chen Nian wiped the blood-stained knife and smiled wickedly: "To be fair, I really love peace."

Reborn in the world of Douluo Continent, he wields the Heart of God, with hordes of Honkai Beasts behind him.

Bai Yueqi looked at the Asura Divine Sword slashing towards him and stretched out his hands:

"As solid as a rock!"

"Reloaded Bunny, Rideon"

"rideon!"

Soul power? Soul power is nowhere near as stimulating as Honkai energy!

Martial Soul? Martial Soul is nowhere near as useful as the Herrscher's power!

Aha: I'm so happy!
