The characters are well-drawn, the story flow is tight, the novel's logic is rigorous, and the style is novel. It is highly recommended for everyone to read. Character Characteristics: The protagonist is a bit silly, funny and cool. Although he is not invincible in the system, the protagonist's mind is full of cheats. The protagonist's IQ is online. If he doesn't "understand", he will pretend not to understand. Protagonist relationship: The protagonist recruits apprentices all over the world, and each apprentice has his own ideas and characteristics. Currently I only see Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
