   [Full] This is a post-apocalyptic novel without a system that must be action-packed, survival-oriented, and ruthless. It's not about reincarnation. The story progresses logically, with constant plot twists and well-developed characters. I really like the main character. You won't be able to stop reading once you start, and you'll want more.

   Passion isn't recklessness, excitement isn't impulsiveness! Look at it! Sigh! It's truly difficult! (This story is purely fictional and has absolutely no resemblance to actual events.) Surprisingly, a middle-aged man received a recall order. Carrying the unresolved issues of two lifetimes, the former king of soldiers once again donned his uniform. He embarked on a familiar yet unfamiliar path, beginning a new military career. Competitions, counter-terrorism, battlefield peacekeeping, infiltrating enemy lines to rescue hostages… Watch as this seemingly sleazy uncle leads a formidable, albeit somewhat shady, elite force! Ultimately, they become the most resilient whetstone for sharpening a blade to serve abroad…

   In the realm of lighthearted, action-packed stories and melodramatic tales, this novel manages to carve out its own unique niche. I've never seen an author willing to invest so much in developing supporting characters [crying emoji]. The protagonist is a time traveler, but these characters are historical figures.

    Have your souls been "killed" time and time again? These four workplace parables are a cure for any disgruntled friend. Have you ever worked late into the night, staring at the densely packed windows on your computer screen, and suddenly had the illusion that you weren't a person, but an overloaded server? Have you ever mechanically swiped up short videos, only to realize that your thumb had detached from your brain's control and entered some kind of "autopilot" mode? Have you ever finished reading a "five-minute summary of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'" knowledge capsule, satisfied with your check-in, only to find that besides the book title and a few tags, nothing else stuck in your mind? If you've had any of these experiences—congratulations, you're already on the same starting line as the protagonists of these four stories. And what they are about to experience is everything you experience every day, but have never "seen" in this way. These four stories are "The Disconnection Experience Camp Riot," "The Trending Search Terms Strike," "The Multitasking Crash," and "The Deep Reading Revival Movement." Together, they form a series—a series about ordinary people like us trapped in the digital age. About our phones, our brains, our attention fed by algorithms, and the tiny, desperate struggle within all of this to "live like human beings." Absurdity is their cloak, humor their armor, and hidden beneath that armor lies a sharp truth that can make you put down your phone at 2 AM and remain silent for a long time. *The Internet Disconnection Experience Camp Riot*: What would you become without your phone for seven days? Imagine this: Your company organizes a team-building event, taking you to a remote mountain forest, confiscating your phone, tablet, laptop, and even your Bluetooth-enabled massage gun. Signal is blocked, everyone is disconnected for seven days. Day 1: You feign composure—"Great, a good rest." Day 2: You start to feel anxious—your hands involuntarily scroll through your screen, your eyes darting around while eating. Day 3: Some experience withdrawal symptoms, humming songs all night in their isolation room. Day 4: A rumor about WiFi signal strength ignites the primal instincts of over three hundred people disconnected from the internet. Guess what happened in the end? When the answer is revealed, you'll laugh out loud, then find yourself unable to laugh anymore—because the person who's fighting for signal, hiding their phone, and repeatedly teetering on the brink of collapse, isn't that you, spoiled by beauty cameras and short videos? The moment you connect to WiFi, you think you've gained freedom, but actually you've jumped back into the fish tank. And the cat outside the tank is squatting there watching you, a meaningful smile on its lips. After reading this, you'll want to flip your phone over and place it screen-down on the table. Even if only for ten minutes. That feeling is called "reclaiming control." "Trending Search Terms Strike": What you search for, that's what the trending topics are. What are trending topics? Is it genuine public opinion, or just a facade painted on a data panel by capital? The protagonist, Lin Xixi, is a trending search operator at Weibo. Her daily work involves ranking and pricing trending search terms—800,000 for celebrity scandals, 1.2 Million for brand scandals, and whether an ordinary person's success depends on whether they have a wealthy backer. With a flick of her finger in the background, an ordinary person's genuine emotion could be buried, while a commercially paid keyword could be thrust to the top. On this ranking, "being seen" is a privilege that must be paid for. Until one day, those suppressed, bought and sold, buried trending topics—came back to life. "Suggest canceling on Monday" refused to be forcibly demoted and bounced back from 99th to first place. "Dog owner apologizes" told "Shiba Inu bites": Her apology is genuine, not your appendage. "The folding bed outside the ICU" left a message before sinking—"Please help me tell that nurse that those forty-seven beds existed in this world." And "Ding Zhen's horse," the white horse from the Litang grassland, became the chief negotiator of the keyword strike, representing all the silent voices and making a condition to humanity: let the real, unbought trending topics stand at number one just once. Once is enough. This is a story that will make you laugh and cry. Every monologue of the keywords is like something you want to say but dare not say. After reading this, when you open the trending topics list and look at those colorful entries, your eyes will be completely different. "Multitasking Crash": When was the last time you completely finished something? Cheng Lang was the kind of employee every boss would drool over. He managed three projects, replied to seven messages simultaneously, and had seven threads running in his brain—writing proposals while replying to emails, monitoring data while replying to emails, appeasing clients while monitoring data, and even managing to send his girlfriend a message saying, "Busy, I'll talk to you later," while appeasing clients. The company awarded him an award, the trophy engraved with "Human Server." He thought it was a talent and was very proud of it. Until that Wednesday afternoon, his brain suddenly popped up a red warning—"Too many tasks, system unresponsive." Then, in front of a major client, he collapsed straight onto the conference table. What happened next was the real beginning of this story. Cheng Lang woke up in his own consciousness recycling bin, discovering that it stored 487TB of emotional fragments—each piece representing people and events he had "temporarily put aside." The night his girlfriend waited for his reply in the ER, the empty seat his mother left for him at the New Year's Eve dinner table, the fleeting glimpse of light he missed as a bird flew past the window… all the emotions he sealed away with "I'm too busy right now" were quietly waiting for him in the recycle bin. You think this is a preachy piece advising you not to work overtime? No, it's an absurd allegory about "what kind of life have you lived?" Those emotions stuffed into the recycle bin won't disappear; they're just waiting to pop out all at once, when you least expect it. Cheng Lang learned this lesson with a computer crash. You don't need it. *The Deep Reading Revival Movement*: In the fragmented era, paper books decide to rebel. Wen Ruoan is the founder of the "Miao Du" (Second Read) app. Her product can condense *War and Peace* into a fifteen-minute knowledge capsule, boasting 30 million daily active users and over a million paying users. Her product philosophy was impeccable—"Nobody has time to read, but they have time to scroll through their phones. You put a book in their phone, and they'll feel like they're reading." Until that late night, the copy of *One Hundred Years of Solitude* on her office bookshelf suddenly spoke. Then, one book after another jumped down from the shelf—*To Live*, *Dream of the Red Chamber*, *The Little Prince*, *The Three-Body Problem*, *Critique of Pure Reason*, even the well-worn *Xinhua Dictionary*. They surrounded her, solemnly announcing: We are launching a "Deep Reading Renaissance Movement." We will automatically display annotations in the margins of every physical book, telling everyone who opens it—this book cannot be condensed; you must read it yourself. "There is a poem of 312 characters here. The condensed version deleted all the lines, leaving only 'Daiyu buries flowers, lamenting her fate.' Three hundred and twelve characters reduced to six—this is not condensation, it's murder." —Annotation to *Dream of the Red Chamber*. "The rain in Macondo lasted four years, eleven months, and two days. You condensed this sentence into 'It rained for a long time.' Do you think it's the same?"—Annotation to *One Hundred Years of Solitude*. This is perhaps the most "inspiring" of the four stories. It has no villains, no conspiracies, only an era eroded by fragmented reading, and a group of books that decide to rebel with their pages. After reading it, you'll want to turn off your phone, walk to your bookshelf, pull out a book you haven't touched in a long time, dust it off, and turn to the first page. Then you'll find—the book is still waiting for you. It has waited for you for so long, and you've finally arrived. Four stories, four dimensions, directly addressing the same theme of our time. These four stories are independent yet interconnected. "The Disconnection Experience Camp Riot" discusses digital withdrawal—what's left after we disconnect from the internet? "Trending Search Terms Strike" addresses information sovereignty—who ultimately lets us see the "hot topics" we see every day? "Multitasking Collapse" addresses fragmented attention—when the brain processes too many tasks simultaneously, it's not efficiency that collapses, but life itself. "The Deep Reading Revival Movement" discusses the loss of critical thinking—when we're used to everything being condensed, do we remember that some things cannot be compressed? Together, they form a mirror. What you see in it isn't someone else, but yourself—the self who can't stop scrolling through their phone late at night, the self who's frantically juggling multiple tasks, the self who collects countless "useful tips" but never actually finishes a book, the self who realizes something's wrong but doesn't know how to break free. They don't offer standard answers. They simply present the questions to you in a way that's absurd enough to make you laugh, real enough to make you silent. The answers are for you to find. This is their greatest respect for their readers. The stories are now officially available on Tomato Bookstore! Our own author is waiting for you to explore!

With his pen, he has written about the absurdity of the workplace, the predicament of the digital age, and the struggles of ordinary people, creating a series of brilliant stories. His writing has a knife—it cuts deep into the ills of this era; his writing also has medicine—the prescription isn't bitter, it's coated with humor, and after you swallow it with a smile, you'll find it has a powerful aftereffect. After reading, could you please give this author a boost to their creative endeavors? If any of the stories touched you—whether it brought tears to your eyes on the subway or made you laugh out loud in bed late at night—could you take a moment to leave a positive review, write a book review, or give the author a five-star rating on Tomato Bookstore? Your "like" might be the brightest star outside the window as the author works late into the night. Your reflection might be the first inspiration for their next article. Every interaction you make is a clarion call—telling the author: your stories are being read, your words deserve to be seen by more people. Creation is a long marathon. Every piece of feedback from readers is like a bottle of water handed to you along the way. Our own authors deserve our care. Finally, a sincere thank you. In this fast-paced era, everyone's time is a scarce resource that's fiercely contested. Short videos are stealing your time, social media is stealing your time, work groups are stealing your time, and the trivialities of life are stealing your time. And the fact that you're willing to carve out a quiet moment from the cracks of this noise to dedicate to Mr. Fu Shuiheng's work—that in itself is the highest tribute to the creator. The old gentleman asked me to convey a message to everyone: "In this era where even reading is compressed into fifteen minutes, you are willing to dedicate your full time to reading every single word I've written. I am truly grateful; this is the good fortune of the work, and also the good fortune of this old man." So, go ahead. Open Tomato Bookstore, search for the story that interests you—or simply buy all four; the search is quick anyway. Look for user 26182811, look for Fu Shuiheng. Then find a quiet corner, put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode, make yourself a cup of tea, and read from the first word to the last. These four stories add up to tens of thousands of words, enough to keep you entertained for several fulfilling nights. And what they can give you goes far beyond "killing time"—they will make you re-examine your relationship with your phone, your work, your information, and your books. They will make you feel, when you close the last page, that you've become a more clear-headed person than before you opened the first. See you in the book, everyone. The old gentleman is waiting for you at Tomato Bookstore. After you finish reading, remember to give him a shout-out—the keyboard for his next article is already polished.
