Synopsis

Jiang Fan transmigrates to a parallel world and becomes a contestant on a reality show where contestants experience elite professions.

On the very first day of filming, three wanted criminals in red notices start chasing him.

Just as netizens assume Jiang Fan is done for, he pulls off an incredible move.

To save himself, Jiang Fan cuts through a national defense cable.

Jiang Fan: Urgent question. If I’m being kidnapped, and I cut a national defense cable to get the military’s attention, does that count as necessary self-defense?

Netizens: Wow. If you call the police, it takes them twenty minutes to arrive. Cut a national defense cable, and the military shows up in two. But in the end, the kidnappers have already turned over a new leaf, while you’re still stuck inside!

Wanted criminal: Hello, 110? I’d like to report someone for damaging national defense equipment. I’m giving my real name...

Media: Masked Good Samaritan Delivers Enemy Agents Who Damaged National Defense Facilities to the Police

Just when everyone thinks Jiang Fan’s incredible stunt is the end of it, who would have guessed it’s only the beginning?

He works as a museum security guard, encounters robbers, smashes the glass, pulls out the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, and challenges them to a sword fight?

He takes a job cleaning carpets at a housekeeping company, finds all kinds of bizarre things, and sends every client to prison?

He apprentices at an auto repair shop, modifies a tractor to race on Mount Akina, and leaves a whole lineup of luxury sports cars in the dust?

Netizens: I thought he peaked from the start, but it turns out I’m the real clown.

Every chapter is well-written. Keep it up! I hope there will be more chapters like those about narcotics police, but live broadcasts are difficult, so pre-recorded ones are better. I also want to see chapters about SWAT officers, etc. I mainly want to see how these dangerous professions are silently contributing to our peaceful era, and I don't want them to be forgotten.

Just one more question for the author: Is there a female lead? 🤔

I personally think it's very good (everyone has different tastes, so my comment is just my opinion). I love this type of book. Author, keep updating! Also, this book doesn't have a female lead, so I doubt there will be one in future updates.

It might seem a bit illogical, but it felt incredibly satisfying. It was like letting out a pent-up emotion, a sudden burst of suppressed feelings, pure, unadulterated passion.

Chapters 36 and 38 really disgusted me with Chen Tianlong's sister. Fortunately, she's not a main character, and I hope she doesn't appear again later.

I enjoyed the plot of the live stream, but I didn't like the special operations team's storyline the most. Overall, it was still pretty good. Keep it up!

This book is very interesting. Even though I read so many books, often abandoning a book halfway through, I found myself thoroughly enjoying this one. You can imagine how high my standards are for books, which makes this one truly exceptional.

The whole world revolves around the protagonist. Digging up national defense cables earns him another merit, and he gets a secretary from the regimental commander. Breaking the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, which contained the Fish Intestine Sword, earns him yet another "merit," and the museum curator wants to make him deputy director (the protagonist doesn't demonstrate any professional ability in antique appraisal). Awesome! 👍👍👍👍
