Dominating the Middle East: Starting as an Indebted Oil Tycoon

Zhang Yu is the owner of an oil field in Syria, but his empire is built on sand and debt. With two million dollars in liabilities, dilapidated infrastructure, obsolete equipment, and a workforce plagued by internal discord, his situation appears hopeless. His only advantage is a mysterious System Store that refreshes daily at 6:00 AM, offering powerful assets that seem perpetually out of reach due to their exorbitant costs. Among the items are a production line for heavy reconnaissance and strike drones priced at 100 kilograms of gold, and insider information on international gold price trends requiring 200 million liters of crude oil as payment. In a region where gunfire is more common than car horns, credit is meaningless; only US dollars and bullets hold value. Crying out over his empty pockets, Zhang Yu has no choice but to navigate this lethal landscape. Dodging stray bullets while drilling for oil, he meticulously manages his cash flow between the barrel of a gun and the demands of his system. By establishing a private security firm, expanding his oil operations, building factories, trading arms, and manipulating regional conflicts, he gradually turns the tide. Eventually, he looks back to find that all major and minor powers in the Middle East have fallen under his control.
