This is a story about a time traveller who got himself into the body of a young man who was doing a job in a count's palace.Then he gets his system with him which gave its first mission to its host i.e leaving the palace and reaching the King mountain and settling down there.This system allows him to buy exclusive items like farmland,rice,house,skills and many more things through magic stones and lotteries.Slowly people started getting attracted to this place. Well the plot is generic with comedic cliches and its comedy gets better with chapters .There are not so much well developed characters just as you expect from most manhua.But the MC is a likeable character not like any pervert who chase girls.Remaining others are gag characters who also steals the attention of the show.Its art somewhat lack first but it improves after some chapters.So, its a readable manhua.

This manhua/novel is the mix of at least 2 other similar stories and one big trope. The two stories with dudes who recruit students to build their own sect (History's number 1 founder - My disciple are all villains) and the trope is the system that uses money. It's a recurrent thing now to have a "cheating" system. Usually I find these stories entertaining because they cover an aspect that we lack in xianxia. MC's almost always either belong to a sect or enter one to bring it to glory. We rarely see them build one from scratch and all the management involved behind. The problem here is that his goal is too broad and nonsensical. He has to "build a holyland"? What's that? Also his way of getting promoted is not interesting at all. **Mild SPOILER** <spoiler>Dude uses card that he buys with money, that's it. It's too simple since the system gives him a way to get mad resources already. He can just sit around and then get stronger. He doesn't really learn any techniques either.</spoiler> I feel like it lacks the cutivation aspect we love in those stories. And the MC is not that wicked. It's more on the comedic side. And the comedy is forced. It could have been quite interesting if it had a more mature setting I think. But I won't be too harsh because experience shows that sometimes the discrepancy between a novel and its adaptation is such that you feel as if it was written by 2 completely different authors. Overall it's just an okay manhua. Not boring but just average and that's too bad because it has great material. The art is nice though, so there's that

This is no serious kingdom building. The MC is a funny person but he rarely gets serious for two panels. The sid characters are very annoying always doing the same thing in order to be amusing. The MC is weak with legendary plot armor. He does not work hard or anything just becomes powerful with the help of the system. It is quite boring to me. But then I hate MC got get everything spoon-fed and do not have to work hard for it.
