   Before this book, the only satisfying example of this type of farming novel was "Release That Witch." This book also focuses on the development of talent and the people, with the system's role primarily in providing technology and talent, and the core of development revolving around people and technology. Although the pace is relatively slow, this is the charm of farming novels—gradually building from weak to strong. Compared to other systems that rely on points to rapidly increase troops or gacha mechanics for troops or equipment, this book allows you to see the importance of technology and the people from multiple perspectives. It is the writing style and multiple perspectives that make the book's descriptions three-dimensional, concrete, and realistic, truly engaging the reader's emotions. It's no exaggeration to say that this book is now a treasure trove of farming novels! 👍

    I finished listening to this book, truly from beginning to end. It took me a long time, from March to April. This book really made me feel the pursuit of higher realms and inner changes, personal growth. Although it's a fictional novel, it clearly portrays real-world issues, which I think is fantastic and gave me a lot to think about. I also really like every character in it, especially Old Zhang, the male protagonist, the female protagonist, and Mu Chen—there are so many young noblemen! Each character is vivid and distinct, making me feel like I've truly experienced life alongside them. I really like the male and female protagonists' thoughts; we can talk about anything, like lovers or friends—it's a wonderful kind of relationship that I envy. I really admire their mindset; they don't get caught up in internal conflicts. I really like them. When people are open-minded, they can think things through easily and don't fuss over trivial matters. I forget the exact phrase, but that's the gist of it. It makes me feel like people should broaden their minds. Things that used to make me feel resentful about not getting what I wanted, now that I have achievements or power, I realize they're insignificant. It makes me want to work harder! Working hard gives you a sense of accomplishment. And in the process of growing up, you don't blindly follow others, but think about your current goals and desired outcomes. Xu Ning has been guiding Pei Zhuo and the other two to grow together, helping each other. I've been fortunate enough to witness this. It's wonderful. I really like it and highly recommend this book.
