Amway "I am engaged in involution in the world of cultivating immortals"! Refuse to be in love, focus on killing everyone. The article "Little love, love, crazy involution" that Baozi wanted is here! Highly recommend "I'm Involved in the World of Immortal Cultivation". The heroine Qin Shu travels through the book and becomes a fake immortal cultivator. The original plot is exposed and she is expelled from the master and becomes a furnace... But she directly awakens **"Involution God of War" mode**: She practices secretly while others are sleeping, and discovers that she makes crazy use of the Moonlight Cultivation Buff. She rolls all the way from the third level of Qi Refining, and unlocks hidden talents, turning the "fake" into a "real boss". There are very few romance lines in the plot, and the focus is all on cultivating immortals and digging through the hidden settings of the original work - the little black snake picked up casually is the Demon Lord, the ordinary brother has a powerful identity, even the gods and beasts from the Mountains and Seas appear together, and there is a big conspiracy buried behind the stand-in. Solving puzzles all the way + winding up until flying, so exciting! If you want to read about focusing on your career, changing your destiny by relying on involution, and talking less about love and more about doing things, this book is for you! # # #Brain #counterattack #Must-read

The treasures recommend these two books, there is absolutely no romance at all. They are all strong women, and the main heroine is engaged in career stories. The first one is about a reborn heroine who uses her experiences from her previous life to survive on the road. Live a better life and build your own team. The heroine has a courageous character, not a virgin, not muddled. The heroine is soft-hearted and will help other players now, although she will make some money in the end. When encountering other bad guys, the heroine is ruthless and decisive, never waiting for revenge overnight. Focus on improving your own strength, forming your own team, and being fully prepared to reach the end of the road in Road Survival. The heroine in the second book is also determined to become stronger. Although the heroine will be a little weak in the early stage, with the continuous efforts of the heroine in the later stage, her own strength has been greatly improved, and the heroine is very smart. Careful, bold and decisive. Kill decisively.

At 1:23 in the morning, the only light left on the 17th floor of the office building was the one at Lin Wei's workstation. The cold light of the screen reflected the dark blue under her eyes, like two lumps of ink that couldn't be separated. I just finished the Nth version of the plan, and there was only ice-cold coffee churning in my stomach. She glanced tiredly at the department group - the name of the newly promoted supervisor Jason was clearly listed in the promotion announcement just released, followed by a series of formulaic congratulations. "Why... Not me?" This sentence was like a needle, pricking into my heart unexpectedly, and it was sharper than the pain of working overtime for three consecutive days. She thought of herself: KPIs always exceeded standards, she was at the forefront of project firefighting, and she ranked first in the department in overtime hours. She thought that this was the entire definition of "hard work" and the ladder to promotion. But the reality is that she is trapped in a transparent cage called "Involution", running with all her strength, but always spinning in place. The phone screen lit up, and it was a new book recommendation sent by my best friend: "Why wasn't I the one who got promoted?" . The question on the cover stung her accurately. By some strange coincidence, she clicked on the e-book. "Think carefully about why you haven't been promoted yet." The opening instructions were like a bucket of cold water being poured down on you. She started to play back: "You are working hard and you can't show off your muscles?" She recalled the last report. She just listed the data, but Jason packaged the same results with vivid stories and won the audience's praise. "Afraid of 'politics' and pretending to be aloof?" She always despised colleagues who revolved around the leader and felt it was shameful to "work in the camp". But when she overheard Jason and the director chatting and laughing in the tea room, talking about their common hobbies in football games, something in her heart collapsed - it turned out that "relationship" is not a derogatory term, but a channel for being "seen" by others. "Only concerned with execution, not strategy?" She is like an efficient execution machine, hitting wherever the director directs, but she has never taken the initiative to think about the deeper meaning of the project, let alone put forward constructive suggestions. And Jason can always give "forward-looking suggestions" during reports. "Waiting to be 'discovered' and afraid to ask for it?" She always thought that the leader would "see" her efforts. When Jason confidently stated his career plan and directly expressed his willingness to be promoted at the quarterly meeting, she was shocked to realize that opportunities do not come by waiting, but by "asking". The "Ten Mistakes" are like a mirror, reflecting her "ineffective involution" embarrassment. She uses her physical limits to fight for "time" and "hard work", but ignores the real rules of the game for workplace promotion: influence, visibility, strategic thinking, and the unavoidable "people" and "place". Her efforts became a consumption of self-motivation, firmly nailing her to the position of "good tool person". A mixture of shame, anger, and great disillusionment came over me. It's not that you don't work hard enough, it's that you are working in the wrong direction! The cruel truth of the era of involution is: directionless efforts are the lowest form of consumption and will only make you sink deeper and deeper into the abyss. The final chapter of the book is titled: "Committed to a New Beginning." Lin Wei took a deep breath, turned off the document, and also turned off the lone lamp. In the darkness, a different light ignited in her eyes. She no longer wants to question "why not me", but starts to think: "How can I become the person who 'must be me'?" What she needs is no longer more coffee and overtime work, but a clear "breakthrough map": 1. From "executor" to "influencer": Think about the "why" behind every action and proactively provide insights. 2. Turn "hard work" into "credit": learn to package results and tell good stories in a way that leaders can understand and see. 3. Face "politics" head-on and improve your agility: no longer avoid complex relationships, learn to identify key decision-makers and establish effective connections. 4. Take the initiative and "ask" bravely: Plan your career path clearly and express your demands confidently at the appropriate time. Walking out of the cold office building, the early morning wind brought a hint of coolness, but it blew away the fog in Lin Wei's heart. She looked up at the still starry night sky and held her phone tightly. It may be impossible to escape the inward torrent, but should you just drift with it and be submerged, or should you learn to control the direction in the rapids and strategically "roll" toward the other side? *She chose the latter. This battle about "promotion" and "self-worth" has just begun.

1. A hard-core "dry rice" involution with the goal of feeding the entire interstellar world. The heroine Lin Wei traveled to an interstellar era where food was scarce. Human beings relied on nutrients to survive and their taste buds degenerated. She started cooking earthly dishes with an iron pot on the garbage star, starting from selling egg fried rice at a stall, and became an interstellar catering giant: ​ - In order to find ingredients, she competed with mutant beasts for mushrooms in the radiation forest, and dug high-temperature-resistant plants in the magma star; ​ - In order to develop new dishes, she studied the habits of interstellar creatures (such as making the violent Zerg willing to be "beef cattle"), and created an interstellar version of the eight major cuisines of the earth (spicy interstellar lobster, starry bird's nest porridge); ​ - In order to expand business, he opened a chain store from a junk star to a capital star, and even opened a canteen on a battleship, allowing the interstellar alliance to spend money crazy for a bite of braised pork. There is no romance line in the whole process. The heroine is only thinking about "what to eat today", "how to make the ingredients cheaper" and "how to make the whole star fall in love with earthly food". The inner motivation is so pure and exciting. ​ 2. The world view is novel, and the involution scenes are imaginative. The "Scroll" in the interstellar background is full of science fiction: ​ - Others compete in mecha fighting, and the heroine PKs in cooking skills, using a "Buddha jumps over the wall" to make the interstellar gourmets cry and recognize their ancestors; ​ - The interstellar aristocrats coil in the gene purity, the heroine coils in the rarity of ingredients, and treats the earth's ancient recipes as "trade secrets", forcing the opponent to learn to cook secretly; ​ - Even when the villains carried out sabotage, they didn't use weapons to blow up the canteen, but sent spies to steal the recipes. As a result, they were instigated by the food and became loyal diners. The involution method extends from the kitchen to interstellar trade and species transformation, and the imagination is so big that you can't stop. 3. The excitement is intensive, and the protagonist relies on strength to counterattack. The heroine started from the bottom of the junk planet, and she relied on her cooking skills without gold fingers: - Used a bowl of Yangchun noodles to conquer the richest man in the interstellar, and won the first investment; - Relying on the "hot pot party" to resolve interstellar racial conflicts, and let the enemy planets shake hands over the dipping recipe; - Finally, the earth's dishes were made into interstellar intangible cultural heritage, and even the supreme ruler had to queue up to wait for her to open a small stove. There is no bloody romance to hold you back, you just rely on "Juan's cooking skills" to beat the villain in the face, upgrade your life, and feel completely satisfied.
