   It's a cool article, it's undoubtedly cool, it's cool with numerical strength, it's cool with an online IQ, it's cool without being sloppy, and it's cool with occasional comedy. You can read the whole story and enjoy it. There is no cliché scene where you beat the younger one to the older one and then run away or cower. There is no retarded one and you are all at fault. It is all misunderstandings that have been discussed and muddled. There is no embarrassment of being chased like a dog due to lack of strength. There is no nonsense about being provoked and threatened with thirty years of Hedong. There is no nonsense about killing a person or a monster and having to listen to a nagging voice. There is no Virgin, no confusion, no aggrievement. Some are only decisive in killing and lazy to talk. You are only in the first grade of junior high school and not in the fifteenth. You dare to threaten me and I will immediately take a taxi to make you decisive. All the confusion is only the first nineteen years when you can't find monsters to kill. The skills are strong, the system reward abilities are also full, and the abilities are all-round. General Duanmu in the novel world, just two words: good-looking!! [Please update]
