Having traveled to America in the year 1862, this was the beginning of a dream, the finest of times. What constitutes a true master of success?

To build an Oil Empire alongside Rockefeller To place Carnegie on the throne of the steel magnate To help Ford propel the industrialization of automobiles worldwide To lead Edison to monopolize the future of the electrical industry To be an Angel Investor for Morgan's capital Hear this, applause!

Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities. —But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive. Xiao He: …I was a perfectly fine college student, who the h*ll wants to be a criminal?! Huh? There’s actually a loophole! By chance, Xiao He triggered a bug in the cheat skill. He figured out a way to substitute real crimes with acting performances and broke into the entertainment industry as a professional villain! He can be a refined yet depraved mu*derer, wielding a chainsaw and haunting everyone’s nightmares. He can be a heartless, despicable fugitive whose crimes are so notorious that the public wants him dead. He’s a romance scammer, a serial killer, a cold-blooded assassin… He’s actor Xiao He! —At first, Xiao He was just trying to survive by constantly taking villain roles. But unexpectedly, he rose to fame with his so-called “nonexistent acting skills” and became one of the hottest award-winning actors in the industry! Everyone in the business knows: the more people a script’s character kills, the faster Xiao He accepts the role. But outsiders say: He doesn’t look like he’s acting at all—better investigate him thoroughly! Even the fans are saying: Bro, please stop killing people! I’m seriously scared you’ll end up in jail! Yet, while the real “cancers” of the industry kept getting arrested, the one who looked most like a villain—Xiao He—kept thriving, even sweeping awards like crazy. Eventually, everyone was like: Whatever, let him stab people on screen for us. Just give him space.

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.
