   1. They treated saving the world as a trivial matter. They trampled the hopes of the youth underfoot with reckless abandon, indifferent because they didn't care, and therefore didn't value it. Thus, the belated apocalypse returned. Countless meteorites fell from the sky, forming the meteor shower they all saw for the last time. They died in astonishment, in a daze. Even in the end, they didn't understand why the apocalypse had come so suddenly. Perhaps, at this moment, the door doesn't need to understand. —Because no one will give them a chance— 2. Tang Wei was sent to Yangzhou, dying covered in worms. Qin Yanqing was sent to Yongzhou, dying of malaria. Qin Feique died on the way to Yun'an Prefecture, leaving no trace of her body. Pei Duchuan was sent to Suzhou, falling into the sea while searching for a missing official. Wu Xin was sent to Tongzhou, where local officials, to appease public anger, bound him to the execution platform. Tang Jin was sent to Jizhou. When his body was found, his ever-smiling eyes had been gouged out. Cui Mingzhi died in Liaodong, his martial arts crippled and his limbs severed. Tang An was the last to die, sold as a commodity and ultimately tortured to death. —I, the world-weary prince, have a group of crazy friends. 3. He turned around. The blond youth leaned against the doorframe, panting heavily. The familiar person suddenly looked up, meeting his eyes. The youth at the door stared at him with a mixture of crying and laughing, finally opening his mouth in vain. He was like a powerless mute, standing under the spotlight on a stage, casting his helpless gaze towards the audience. The ocean and the sky met; at this moment, the sea level was blurred. They merged into one, as if they had never been separated. ——The only way to end a manga with a happy ending. 4. "Are you really going to give him 40 years of your lifespan?" "Yes." ——A romance novel, you're the matchmaker, but you pinch the male lead's waist. 5. Lele is the best Lele in the world, the Lele who protects others the first time they face danger. ——KPL's scumbag in the esports circle. 6. Trapped in a Möbius strip, endlessly looping. Only Qi Yuanzuo is the only one who is clear-headed in this loop. He will understand everything after meeting Li Guining, until Qi Yuanzuo finds a new way to completely solve the lottery system and leave no future troubles, or until Qi Yuanzuo gets tired of it and willingly ends the loop. So he said, "Li Guining is a miracle." So he said, "88, meeting me is your greatest misfortune." When the war ended and the eldest prince rode over, only Qi Yuanzuo was left. He looked up at the sky above. It turns out he also has an obsession. His obsession is behind him. "88, I won again." ——Madness! 7. "116 Sheep." The recording continued counting 117 sheep. "118 Sheep." The recording progress bar had reached the end. "118 Sheep, it's your turn—" There was no response from inside the room. Later, Pei Xuan developed a skill. He could always fall asleep before counting to 118 sheep. "Goodnight, Pei Xuan!" Pei Ge's gentle voice came from the recorder. ——Love Variety Show: The washed-up movie star becomes the white moonlight of the whole internet 8. In the very end, TTG welcomed their champion—the donkey whose soul was in Zhang Kai's body, TTG's next champion 9. Perhaps their meeting was just the intersection of two world lines, but this short moment was the blooming and withering of a person's life. He was a dandelion from another land, blooming in another world and withering in another world. In this last second, he longed to return to his roots, but in the end, the wind blew the flowers down, and he drifted everywhere. He is gone, but the spring breeze comes again. —How can I survive next to Conan when I'm constantly coughing up blood? 10. "Young Master is doing well now." After saying this softly, Zhang Yuanqing had no strength left. "I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while." When those eyes closed, the Right Chancellor of Qin fell into eternal sleep this winter. —Great Qin, my delicate and frail sage. 11. Bai Li sacrificed herself to gain a glimmer of hope. Between heaven and earth, the Heavenly Dao seized the opportunity to take control of the situation. Ye Feng led the remaining demons back to a hundred miles outside the Demon Realm to suppress them with force. Mu Chuan died and his Dao dissipated, but he was later saved by the Reverse Wheel, though he was blind. "As for the others, the richest one became the poorest, abandoning his huge family business." The child from the stars no longer dared to speak. The abandoned little Taoist priest became the person most afraid of the dark. The beauty who loved beauty the most had a scar on her face. The gentle and refined class monitor drowned his sorrows in alcohol day and night. The wealthy Xiao Cha is now penniless and extremely poor. The aloof vice-class monitor, who plays with Gu poison, is raving mad and loves wearing red. The sleepless Xiao Yue Liang is unable to wake up and suffers from sleepless nights. Bai Yao, a master of both poison and medicine, is now unable to heal. The taciturn class monitor has become truly mute. —The whole class transmigrates into a book: They cultivate immortality, we go mad. 12. The corrupt dynasty falls, the people he cherishes are reborn, and his loved ones are safe. Thus, his wishes and selfish desires are all fulfilled. Goodnight, Your Highness. —The Crown Prince gave away the country. 13. This is an era of universal extermination of evil spirits. This time, no one needs to sacrifice. Everyone will fight side by side. Humanity will surely win! —After transmigrating into the body of a villain, I assassinate the main characters every day. 14. In a comic world where everyone suffers a tragic fate, I will correct it. Truly, I bear the pain of everyone alone.

   Reader note

   Hello fellow book lovers! I sincerely recommend the two hard science fiction novellas, "Electronic Journey: Breaking the Cocoon" and "Electronic Journey: Rebirth", to my fellow book lovers. I hope you will enjoy them. The novels have a unique science fiction perspective and novel ideas. They are about a series of ups and downs that occur after mankind discovers a micro-intelligent civilization in the future and the "utilization of micro-intelligent civilization". The author's work is a work of conscience. It is not a fast-paced, formulaic, or trendy work. It is a work that is truly written with seriousness. It is written because of the author's love for writing and the desire to leave behind some good stories with thought and meaning. The novels have vivid descriptions, rich character emotions, grand story scenes, and a complete worldview. The author's writing is very smooth and the logic is very rigorous. All science fiction elements are based on reasonable conjectures about the development of science and technology and contradictions. (1) The novel puts forward the idea of ​​"future macro and micro symbiotic civilization", which is a new way of thinking from the perspective of science fiction. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, and the 8-planet system may have similar environments and may give birth to similar life forms" is worth discussing and pondering for science fiction fans. (3) The novel's view that "the 'simultaneity' of time in the human world may be a very large time scale in the microscopic world, and the 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the long time scale of the microscopic world, may be a collection of multiple states of events occurring in a linear sequence, and therefore there is no superposition state" is worth thinking about and discussing. (4) The novel's view that "electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively excited, but may also be active escapes generated by life behavior" is worth thinking about and studying. (5) The novel's vision of the future combination of brain-computer interfaces and bionic robots is worth looking forward to. (6) The novel's connotation is satirical towards extremism. Technological extremism, scientific extremism, fame and fortune extremism, and extremism that gets stuck on trivial matters are all objects of satire in the novel. (7) The novel has the connotation of advocating morality and harmonious coexistence of all things. (8) The novel embodies a spirit of self-sacrifice and boundless love, a manifestation of a free and unrestrained love. Highly recommended for readers!

    The first book excels in its setting and world-building: the original framework and character backgrounds are very appealing to readers; the protagonist is a beautiful, strong, and tragic figure with long black hair and red eyes, stubborn yet soft-hearted; the system is well-developed; and the villainous BOSS is well-developed. The ensemble cast and friendship storylines are excellent: the protagonist group's characters are popular (a lively puppy, a hot-blooded idiot, a cold-faced tsundere), and the scenes of group cooperation are widely loved; the friendships are warmly portrayed, the ensemble cast is strong, and there are no melodramatic plot twists. The story is captivating, with some heart-wrenching moments (a touch of angst), providing a great immersive reading experience. Regarding the second book, *Saving the Protagonist from Zero*, I think its world-building is truly interesting. The forces we see so far already create a lot of tension, with various interests intertwined, and the conflicts are very engaging. The main storyline is worth looking forward to. The overall reading experience is easy, the plot is intelligent, and the humor is just right. The author is very good at character development, especially the protagonist's personality; he's not a perfect good guy in the traditional sense. He has a wicked and indifferent side, occasionally stands idly by, and sometimes says things that aren't very likable, making him seem more real and complex. The supporting characters are also distinctive and not merely plot devices. The story features teamwork and youthful passion, but it doesn't feel childish. The author integrates the world-building, character relationships, and plot conflicts quite naturally, and it should become even more exciting if the world-building and main plot mysteries are further developed later.
