    Only four people read the debut, proving that there are indeed readers willing to improve themselves. Following the plot, the book's most useful knowledge from 17 disciplines, including psychology, economics, logic, game theory, and advanced mathematics, along with cutting-edge mainstream scientific explanations, will quickly build your thinking framework and enhance your cognitive level. It won't resort to excuses like plot holes or use the guise of changing fate to fool anxious young readers. Feng shui, metaphysics, divination, and other such common tricks will no longer fool you (if you have any questions, skip to chapters 134 for a thorough explanation to help you identify charlatans). The story is humorous but not absurd; the protagonist is a bit eccentric, and if readers laugh uncontrollably, it's not the author's fault. As for the plot, if you can guess it, you're skilled. Leaving aside the specific knowledge points, the entire book is a logically rigorous suspense story with numerous foreshadowing elements, offering plenty of depth for both second and third readings. It's not a fragmented plot pieced together simply to impart knowledge. Some chapters are specifically designed to train diverse thinking skills; reading slowly can improve reasoning abilities. If you find any plot inconsistencies, the author will let you hit him on the ground! No donations are needed, just support the author; the knowledge in the book can be verified with AI.
