Nightwatcher - Chapter 42: The Lesser Sage and His Wife

Rise of the Arms Dealer in the World War tells the story of a man from the modern world, thrown back in time to a pivotal moment in history. Armed with knowledge of advanced weaponry and the sharp instincts of a seasoned weapons dealer, he wastes no time in exploiting the chaos of historical wars and political upheavals.Building an empire not just in arms but across industries, he crafts vehicles, machinery, and technology far beyond the reach of his time. With each calculated move, his influence spreads like wildfire, positioning him to control the tides of conflict.After World War I, he seizes the opportunity to buy up factories and cutting-edge technologies from the defeated nations, biding his time to prepare for the next global war. His eyes are set on World War II, where he plans to sell weapons on an unprecedented scale, shaping the course of history.A villain at heart, he is cold, calculating, and without a shred of principle. He deals to whoever bids the most, indifferent to the consequences. As his empire grows, so does the power he wields, but with it comes a relentless struggle to keep the forces he's unleashed in check.

I was transmigrated into a webtoon based on an alternate history of a shitty empire.‘I will overthrow this country with my own hands.’And the answer I arrived at upon experiencing it was ‘Coup D’état’.

System: You are the only human who meets the binding requirements of this system, please bind with me!

Su Yu: I have money, good looks, power and influence, why should I bind myself to you?

System: You haven’t fallen in love ye-

Su Yu: Aiya! My stomach is hurting all of a sudden!

Su Yu bound himself to a system; his only task is to scatter some IQ to the brainless male protagonists. The soft-headed male protagonist chases after the female protagonist, the male protagonist with some intellect chases after him. He feels that something is not quite right…

Su Yu: System, is there something common between these male protagonists?

System: Yes, they are all male protagonists.

Su Yu: …Suddenly I don’t feel like talking anymore.

Male Protagonist who has been scattered with some IQ: Then don’t talk, just kiss me.

Su Yu: …Suddenly I don’t feel like doing the task anymore.
