[Civil War] [Business War] [Calm and Decisive] [Gilded Age] [Technological Explosion]

Alan, a business elite, died in a car accident under a heavy truck, but his soul accidentally traveled to New York in 1860 and became a 19-year-old Irish youth with nothing.

With only $75 in his pocket, he built a canning factory from scratch using modern business thinking, expanding it to become a company. During the turbulent years of the Civil War, his assets soared thanks to precise planning.

With the advent of the Gilded Age, he expanded into oil, steel, military industry, railroads, and even ventured into media, real estate, electrical technology, and the hotel industry. From a contemporary elite to a 19th-century pauper, how did he create a multi-faceted, top-tier family tycoon in America a century ago?

In 1889, Xie Chang'an, whose soul originated in the modern era, opened his eyes to find himself as Pedro, the turbulent crown prince of the Brazilian Empire. The military's guns were already pointed at the palace, and the tide of republicanism surged through the streets. Facing this sinking ship, Xie Chang'an knew that history had given him only a dozen days.

But what he brought with him was a century's worth of insight and an iron fist.

He smiled and said to the rebel general, "You want to be president? Very well. But before that, let's first usher in an era for Brazil..."

From suppressing rebellions and reforming domestic affairs to forming alliances and expanding ruthlessly, Uruguay, Argentina, Peru… South American countries have bowed down one by one to modern military and diplomatic tactics.

When the new empire is proclaimed in Rio de Janeiro, the whole world will hear its declaration:

"The old world order is corrupt. From this day forward, the scepter of civilization shall be held by the new world!"

The life of Wall Street's most legendary short.

During the Battle of Los Angeles, illegal immigrant Chen Ping died unexpectedly.

With deep resentment, Chen Ping was reborn in America in 1891 and possessed the body of a 14-year-old white boy named Larry Livingston.

His lack of historical knowledge in his previous life and this premature rebirth left him completely unable to seize the opportunities of the times.

But he always felt that he was extraordinary and that he should be a legend.

A voice told him:

Go to Wall Street, that is your battlefield...

38 years later, in 1929, Larry Livingston became a legendary trader feared by Wall Street. He single-handedly planned the U.S. stock market crash and the economic crisis that swept the world!

Everyone who went bankrupt because of Livingston cursed him to go to hell.

But Livingston said,

"Hell? I am the devil who returned from hell. I am the ghost that roams over the capitalist world! Tonight, I want to hear the sound of kneecaps cracking all over Wall Street!"

(Rebirth + endless war in the financial market + a little disturbance of history = the life of a legendary Wall Street short)

A sudden time travel reveals the New York of 1940. It's World War II, a bloody conflict marked not only battlefield bloodshed but also ideological confrontation. As the epicenter of the world, New York undoubtedly teemed with the brightest minds of the era. Hemingway, Asimov, Lewis Sinclair, John Steinbeck, Pearl S. Buck, Maugham, Gide, Lin Yutang, Fitzgerald... And then there were those fighting the Axis powers in Europe, Camus, Agatha Christie, George Orwell, Arthur C. Clarke... Ernie exclaimed, "Everyone here is a talent. I love it!"... Years later, a young man, a veteran of both battlefields and studies, emerges with a gun in one hand and a pen in the other, shining brightly and rising in this golden age of literature...

Reborn in 1905 as a starving, impoverished cowboy in Montana, Jack Crawford thought he'd been given a hellish start. Until he discovered he received a random intelligence report every day.

While cowboys throughout the West were still relying on the weather and suffering heavy losses from blizzards, Jack always managed to avoid all disasters in advance. While Wall Street giants were strategizing for the economy...

A particularly nostalgic story. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Billy Wilder… Roman Holiday, The Seven Year Itch, Witness for the Prosecution… From black and white to color films, let's revisit that creative cinematic world and those old movies that still seem interesting today.

Good news: Hua Xu has transmigrated and awakened the Infinite Assassin System, sharing skills and vision, and can even possess assassins.

Bad news: I've been transported to 1898 America, where the Chinese Exclusion Act has already been passed, and I'm about to die.

Even worse news: Something's not right about this world. There's a gunslinger named Arthur Morgan in the neighboring Strawberry Town, a Hogwarts School in London, dark legends of vampires and werewolves circulating in Western Europe, a character named Muzan Kibutsuji in Japan, and legendary supernatural beings and zombies in China.

Hua Xu said: Since things are already in chaos, I wouldn't recommend making them even more chaotic!

Starting from the California wilderness, Huaxu rose rapidly.

Soon after, the style of painting in America changed, and a poem gradually began to circulate:

He was imposing and menacing, and all his personal gains were handed over to the authorities.

I'll make 95 out of 100; you know my methods.

Don't waste the remaining five dollars; you'll have to pay four dollars and eighty cents in taxes tomorrow.

Don't touch the remaining two cents; I might need them later.

Morgan, Rockefeller, and Childsfield: "A salute to our most beloved Emperor Mu!"

Years later, Hua Xu was embracing Louise on the Titanic when he suddenly received a mysterious message:
