- 1 The Treasure Hunter 捡宝王 P.S. I’ve started a new book, The Taoist Priest, Times Have Changed. Please check it out. I love gold and silver, but I love glittering gemstones even more. Guns, jewelry, and precious metals: how could a collector’s world be complete without antiques? Warehouse auctions, secondhand deals, buying and selling real estate, prospecting and mining for gold, but when it comes to making money, searching for legendary treasures is really the way to go.

The Gourmet’s Supplier 美食供应商
“In the distant East, there is a strange little restaurant that has turned down Michelin three-star ratings several times. It’s expensive: a bowl of egg fried rice with soup costs RMB 288. Oh, I forgot, it also comes with a plate of pickles. Even so, plenty of people line up for a table. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations.

Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read. The male and female leads shouldn't be total airheads, and they should have some brains. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the opening, and a few surprises are always welcome. The prose shouldn't be a string of exam-sty
