41. 641 扎 The Paper Effigy Shop: Everyone Around Me Is a Big Shot 扎纸铺，我身边都是大佬 Jie Yu界玉Mystery1.0M WordsCompleted In our ancient land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos.

    I've finished reading "The Little Master of the Underworld." The protagonist doesn't act recklessly or try to be cool, and he's intelligent. The plot is very tight. I'm still following the other three, and they're quite good too, but the updates are too slow. I read all three in rotation every day.
