Firepower Is King

Firepower Is King is an urban military novel by RUSHUIYI, a platinum author on Qidian, and is complete at about 3.749 million Chinese characters. The story begins with the protagonist Gao Guang's trip to Tijuana, Mexico: he is kidnapped by drug traffickers right after getting off the plane and nearly killed when he appears to have nothing worth taking. Relying on the martial arts he has practiced since childhood and sheer ruthlessness, he turns the tables in a desperate fight, which brings him to the attention of a private military contractor team. Because he speaks Spanish and knows firearms inside out, Gao Guang is recruited into the trade, starting as a translator and errand boy and gradually becoming the team's assault operator and core member. A private military contractor (PMC) is, on the surface, a legal security and military services company whose business covers hostage rescue, security in war zones, arms and intelligence, and technical support. Through one dangerous mission after another, Gao Guang accumulates experience, builds a reliable reputation amid gunfire, and comes to see the survival rules at the bottom of the industry, the jockeying of capital, and the gray zones of human nature. Until one day, he makes "Gao Guang's moment" an industry-recognized professional term. The work is known for its realistic firearms, tactics, and industry detail, with cinematic gunfight scenes, while retaining the satisfying momentum of a web novel's main plot; many readers rank it as a rare high-caliber urban mercenary military novel of recent years.
