    Tired of those "Fourth Calamity" novels where players have their fun and then leave, and NPCs are just tools? This new and upgraded version of "Starting in a Small Wooden House" cleverly combines "town mayor infrastructure building" with a "player sandbox" experience. It features rigorous data management and strategic combat, along with vivid characters and layers of suspense. The protagonist and NPCs have their own stories and growth paths, their interactions with players are genuine and fun, and they all drive the world's evolution, combining logic and entertainment. Highly recommended! Dual transmigration + Fourth Calamity + hardcore infrastructure building – so many elements, double the enjoyment! The protagonist becomes the mayor of another world, directly summoning Earth players to help him build his business. Intelligent NPCs can think, silly players love to create chaos, combat is decided by skill, and the world's suspense is incredibly engaging! Readers who enjoy the setting of "Super God Mechanic" and the concept of farming and infrastructure building should definitely check this out!
