    ❤️Here are five spy novels for you. The first one features a protagonist who is a Kuomintang agent who infiltrates the Shanghai Special Higher Police through careful maneuvering. He even adopts the Japanese name Yamashita Nagakawa, earning him the nickname "Nagakawa-taikun" (Lord Nagakawa) from readers. However, this title is well-deserved; the protagonist actually obtains Japanese military status and is now a captain. Speaking fluent Japanese, who would guess he's a spy? This novel is beloved by many readers because the protagonist is calm, adheres to the code of cunning, and acts like a true spy. ❤️The second novel features a protagonist whose cheat ability is "external clones." His second clone is a Japanese nobleman, which greatly facilitates his espionage career. ❤️The third, fourth, and fifth novels feature protagonists who rise to high positions in the officialdom. An undercover agent becomes the head of the enemy's biggest spy ring! For example, in the fifth novel, the characters Gao Bin (Cliffside), Mu Xihe (Infernal Affairs), Chen Moqun (Rebel), Bi Zhongliang (Sparrow), and Wu Jingzhong (Infiltrator) are all familiar to fans of spy dramas, right?

    Starting with poisoned wine from his own father, Su Jing nearly meets his demise when he triggers a daily login system, stacking a hundredfold critical hit buff. He not only gains superhuman strength but also summons fierce generals like Huang Zhong and Zhang Han, top strategists like Xiao He and Jia Xu, and tens of thousands of troops are immediately on standby! He immediately chops down the poisoned wine, furiously killing the eunuch, and then leads a million-strong army to besiege the palace, shouting to the emperor, "Father, the pit is dug!"
