Lin Chen is transported to a parallel world, America, and is forced to participate in the 14th season of the show "Living Alone in the Wilderness". From an underdog street food truck operator to a wild culinary master! In his hands, damp, slippery moss, colorful, highly poisonous mushrooms, and rotten, smelly wood are transformed into tempting delicacies. Lichen and kelp soup, stir-fried bolete, crispy dried worms, tender beggar's chicken, oven-roasted duck, double-pepper rabbit, steamed egg, crystal wild vegetable dumplings, pan-fried salmon... While the other contestants were still gathering berries to stave off hunger, Lin Chen had already eaten until his belly was round. Catching migrating salmon, hunting porcupines, snatching prey from tundra wolves in the frigid Alaska, and even using a hunting bow and kite to kill a black bear with exquisite footwork creates a climax! The show became an instant hit as soon as it aired, and viewers became very interested in the young chef from a mysterious and ancient country across the ocean, and began to imitate the dishes that Lin Chen had made at home. "I declare that this steamed egg custard is the best egg dish I've ever eaten!" "This Thanksgiving, my family unanimously decided to spare the poor turkey and eat Da Xia roast duck instead!" The show, which had previously seen a decline in viewership, has since regained its top spot on the variety show charts and embarked on a new chapter of traveling the world! In his spare time, Lin Chen began to purchase a farm, farm, raise pigs, run a YouTube channel, and occasionally appear on the street to sell Da Xia delicacies. When asked by reporters, Lin Chen waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't misunderstand, not everyone in our Great Xia knows kung fu. I'm just an ordinary street cook."

Milton raised his hand to stop his subordinate from continuing the report: "Wait a minute... How many times do I have to repeat myself? These armored vehicles, these heavy weapons, are just tools to ensure I can collect taxes, nothing more." "I am a tax officer, not a godfather." "Remember, taxes are only ever within the range of bullets."

The compassionate Medicine Master saves us from suffering and distress; may all those who cultivate our hearts ascend to the Pure Land together. Why do you call me a heretic or evil person? —— They say this is the story of a lucky young man who received the blessing of the Medicine Master and inherited the legacy of the True Dragon. He emerged from the white mountains and black waters of the North, braving a thousand years of wind and snow, in search of the path to immortality. There are cranes, roaming freely across the north and south of the sky. There is a sacred tree that protects all living beings in the world. There are entertainers who can change their appearance a hundred times. There are historians who suppress evil spirits throughout the ages. The Emperor once said that those who seek the Eternal Heaven will not attain immortality. That was a time of great prosperity for the ancient kingdom, before the winged beings from beyond the heavens descended. We are the remnants of the Pharmacist sect… Bah! What remnants of the Pharmacist sect? I am a dignified young hero, the leader of the righteous path, and a pillar of the nation. How dare you slander me like this! Guards, plant these rumor-mongers in the ground so they can reflect on their actions! (Not a fan fiction, purely original story)

"The only things that can save Lu Mingfei are... Deadpool and the Dragon's Wail." "One copy of the dungeon is equivalent to ten needles of medicine; Kazama Ruri is just a traditionalist in health preservation." "Stop putting pressure on me, I'm just like everyone else... I can go crazy sometimes!" Lu Mingfei, a miserable high school student, frequently enters the online game "Dragon Raja" in his dreams. It is a first-person dungeon survival game, and the main character of each dungeon is extremely familiar. The age when you are least able to withstand pressure meets the most stressful chapter of your life. The nights are short and the sun rises high; from then on, the emperor no longer studies early. This is a reflection of reality, a personal plus-sized rooftop, a game world where you can slay dragons and level up, even more realistic than StarCraft. After accumulating enough BOSS equipment, the one who appears is Lu, Black King, White King, Odin, and Mingfei. This is not a reincarnation story; it's purely dragon-themed. The book is also known as "I, the Hardcore Player, Need to Take Control of Myself," "The Deadpools I've Killed in Shilan Are More Than the Hybrids the Camarilla Have Seen," "No Cheats, Who Doesn't Use Evolution Potions When Running Dungeons," and "Herzog, I Slew You with a Red Dot Last Time."

Keywords: [Daily Life] [Unconventional Beachcombing] [Misplacement] [Exotic Customs] [Mini-Adventure] [Mini-Greek Mythology] I just love listening to "Sicily," but who told you to send me to Sicily? However, Sicily is quite nice. It is surrounded by the sea, has a pleasant climate, a rich culture, and offers a variety of delicious foods all year round, as well as the fertile fishing grounds of the Mediterranean Sea. But what the hell is this system? You have received a mission: Lamb to the Slaughter. In turbulent Sicily, people seem to have forgotten how to spell the word "respect," but offending you is more foolish than angering the sea—may those who disrespect you disappear forever! I looked at the toothless old ladies across from me arguing about whether nurse shark or dog shark tasted better fried... And fell into deep thought. Calm. The system must be making a mistake. Forget about it and continue living my leisurely life. However, I soon realized I was wrong. It's not because the system is forcing me, but because the way people around me are looking at me is getting weirder and weirder. Let me find a secluded place to calm down and think about what exactly happened. I stood at the entrance of the ice cream shop and glanced inside—at the same time, more than twenty hands holding ice cream were stretched out in front of me. The owners of these hands include vendors, teachers, judges, and children who have just come home from school... "I've figured out what's wrong!" "I got the script for Marilyn in 'Malèna'! Everyone's after me!!" But the next second, a kiss gently landed on the back of my hand. "The Godfather..." The people around him called out in admiration. Um???
