   These are free articles on Tomato, and there aren't many of them; it's good enough if you can even find something readable. The first one has an interesting post-apocalyptic setting. Having read books for so long, this one is considered quite good on Tomato. It has logic, a plot, intelligent characters, and good character development. I'd give it 5 stars if I liked it, and 1 star if I didn't. The last two aren't mindless wish-fulfillment stories; you can check them out if you're interested.

   👉👉👉 How long is the history of China? 5000 Years? 6000 Years? Or even 8000 years? 🕉 Are those ancient, powerful beings who created the world just myths or figments of imagination? 🛐 Shaman: Did the ancient great shaman, who connected heaven, earth, and humanity with the Tongtian Jianmu (a sacred tree), truly exist? If you are interested in these questions, I recommend reading 🫵 Xiao Jiu Tu's *The Hidden Trap of the World*. 🐷 Protagonist Su Chen: an expert in antiques, skilled in martial arts, handsome, and adept at being a kept man… his various abilities are simply dazzling! ㊙️ The book is filled with various schemes, traps within traps, traps within traps, traps within traps… his intelligence is definitely online. 0⃣1⃣ The most brilliant way to break the traps of the world lies in breaking the hearts of men. 0⃣2⃣ Tea itself is made of wood, growing in the soil, nourished and nurtured by rainwater, repeatedly roasted over an open fire in a metal pot before it becomes edible. It embodies the five elements of heaven and earth: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. A gentleman wearing a jade piece made from five elements of tea leaves travels the world, as if blessed by the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, enabling him to observe the vast ocean, contend for the world, and win the world. 0⃣3⃣ The so-called "Zhu You" (祝由) is essentially using a unique incantation to manipulate energy and interfere with a person's brainwaves, causing them to become calm, frenzied, excited, sad… The eyes of Zhu Jiuyin (烛九阴) just now probably possess this kind of energy that distorts our brainwaves. …Righteous values. Chinese history is long and rich, with traditions and orthodoxy, no matter what pain and calamities it has experienced! China will always be the best! 👍👍👍 ㊗️ Blessings to all…
