Make money by hiding in the interstellar battlefield

Thrown into Seven Rings City, a sprawling interstellar human colony on a perilous Mother Star dominated by hyper-intelligent and immensely powerful Star Beasts, Jian Sheng realizes that brute force is a fool's game. With humanity outmatched in energy, resources, and sheer numbers, conventional warfare is a losing battle. Armed with a supercharged AI brain, Jian Sheng adopts a radically pragmatic approach: wealth is the ultimate power, and survival is the greatest strategy. While others fight and die for glory, he prioritizes ruthless economic domination, using his astronomical earnings to quietly build an invincible foundation. As a deadly multi-factional war brews between the colony's corrupt leadership, the ruthless Star Beast Queen, enigmatic alien Protoss, and rival human settlements, Jian Sheng operates entirely from the shadows. By the time the universe notices the threat, he has evolved from a cautious survivor into the ultimate interstellar mastermind. After all, why risk your life on the frontline when you can buy the whole battlefield?
