In 1408, the Timurid Khanate had fallen from its heyday, the Ottoman Empire was on the brink, the Byzantines had remained resilient for a century, and the Mamluks were trembling with fear as they recovered their lost territory. Peace seemed to have returned to the world, temporarily. However, this world was somewhat different from what Li Rufeng remembered—generals with horns, emirs with tails, sages with clairvoyance, and slaves who rotted but remained immortal... Having traveled to the Timurid Khanate, Li Rufeng was grateful for a cheat code for Mount & Blade II, allowing him to steadily advance as a shaman in a small steppe tribe, awaiting the right opportunity to "mount and blade" across this vast Central Asian landscape. [Note: The following appears to be unrelated and likely a separate topic.] Dear readers, I offer you a sincere chapter. Starting a new book is undoubtedly the happiest time, because it's time to dig new holes. This project is a foray into a new genre. My first book was a book-starved adventure, a mishmash of The Witcher set in the Warhammer 40k universe. The second, influenced by Cyberpunk 2077 and The Boys, aims to be a Punisher-esque story. If you're interested, check out the author's other works, "The Witcher of Games" and "I Give the World Destruction and Rebirth," on QD. This third book, "On a Young Dream," is inspired by a fictional scenario about the Roman Golden Horde posted on Bilibili. The early scenes will be set in the chaotic Timurid Empire following the death of Tamerlane the Great. Writing this story has been a self-learning exercise. Through this alternate history, I've been actively exploring the historical transformations of the Arabian Peninsula, Transoxiana, and even Central Asia from 1410 to 1500, filling in gaps in my knowledge. As for the introduction of the Faith of the Four Winds, it's purely a matter of personal interest. Some Warhammer experts have suggested that the Four Winds' name suggests a Warhammer origin, likely referring to a 40k short story describing the sudden rise of Chaos faith in a savage world. After all, introducing a completely new faith into a land already riven by religious conflict couldn't be worse, could it? Moreover, this faith carries with it truly transcendent power. How would those zealots who fought for Constantinople for centuries react? Creating a captivating, or at least intriguing, world through my keyboard is a deeply rewarding experience, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. P.S.: Finally, due to my own limitations and lack of accurate documentation, if anyone finds any historical errors in this article, please point them out and I'll promptly correct them. P.S.: The historical Turkification of the Timurid Khanate was very thorough, so the tribes I described earlier that still believed in the primitive belief of Eternal Sky probably don't exist. However, for the convenience of the subsequent plot development, I will assume that the Islamization of the Chagatai Khanate was not that serious, and that a large number of Mongol people in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate still retained respect for this primitive belief. P.S.: New books are not easy to write. If you are interested, please cast your valuable votes and feel free to leave a comment in the comment section.

What if you can't eat the nutrient solution made from snail and cockroach extract? You can only starve to death!

A century after the apocalypse, a strange green rain has created a forest wasteland. Food culture has been completely disrupted; ordinary humans survive on the nutrient solutions of mushrooms, moss, snails, and earthworms, while cabbage has become a luxury. Meanwhile, in bustling cities, people live extravagant lives, while gene-engineered warriors and mech legions secretly stir up trouble.

While scavenging with his orc squad, Jiang Han inadvertently uncovered the truth behind a delicious meal, reigniting the chaos in the wasteland.

Li Shaoyi, a college graduate who is taking the civil service exam, travels back to 1935 and awakens an invincible organizational system.

With ten men under his command, he was immediately issued two sets of all the weapons and equipment of a German-style infantry squad, and his ammunition was replenished at midnight, doubling the amount consumed the previous day.

With fifty men under his command, he was immediately issued all the weapons and equipment of a German-style infantry platoon, and his ammunition was replenished at midnight, doubling the amount consumed the previous day.

He had 300 men under his command... and was equipped with German-style infantry company gear...

He had 10,000 men under his command... and was equipped with German-style infantry division gear...

He commands 200,000 men with official ranks... and is issued German-style army group status...

With such a system, how could we not beat the Japanese devils to a pulp and live up to our ancestors' expectations?

The introduction is insufficient; let's move on to the main text!

[Hidden Masters + A Group's Comeback] Everyone in Black Bandit Mountain possesses unique skills, yet they've retired from the underworld to raise their children. Little did they know that life after retirement would be anything but ordinary!

The fisherman catches the fish, but the fish walk right into his net?

Did Zhizhi go down the mountain and capture the notorious bandit?

Zhizhi went to the academy and became famous overnight for fighting!

Zhizhi is going to the capital, oh ho—

The world is in chaos, and dynasties are overthrown!

-

A-Che was born in the capital, but was murdered as a child and ended up in Lingnan.

At first, he thought he had just been rescued by a little girl and taken to an ordinary mountain village, until he discovered:

The one-eared old man at the village entrance could hear from several meters away;

Grandma in the kitchen can easily disguise herself with a flick of her wrist;

The girl who picked mushrooms was immune to all poisons;

The kind-hearted young man shattered a person's bones with a single punch...

-

Later, the imperial court collapsed, and the martial world descended into chaos once more.

Black Bandit Mountain, however, is thriving and invincible.

From a small mountain stronghold to a nation, from a bandit village chief to the emperor of a new dynasty, he finally avenged his family and brought about a change of dynasty.

The bigwigs exchanged a knowing smile:

"We also wanted to keep a low profile, but Zhizhi wouldn't allow it."

*The main characters are not all good people, and there is no time travel or reincarnation.

*A group portrait: a group of reclusive bigwigs taking care of kids, only to be carried along by the kids themselves.

*Zhizhi and Ache are two adorable children who develop feelings for each other as they grow up, but their romantic storyline is minimal; they are not the main characters in a romance novel.

As a man used to fighting, Jia Yu said that traveling through the Red Mansion was not his intention. He was good at fighting, but not at picking up girls, and even worse at fighting in the court. He was so annoyed!
