Throughout the years, "Panlong" by Tomato has always been my favorite, including the numerous fan works that other authors have written afterwards. I have been wanting to write a fanfiction based on "Panlong" for a long time, hoping that it will be loved by fellow "Panlong" fans. In the world of "Panlong," who possesses the most powerful supernatural abilities? The Four Divine Beasts? With their fused powers, they can touch the laws of time and space, truly defying the heavens! The Divine Devouring Rat? Not only can it devour divine essences to enhance its physical body, but its soul attacks are almost unbeatable! The Lord of Destruction? Born alongside the highest planes, their supernatural abilities are overwhelming! The Lord of Fate? Born into the Brahm race, after countless years of studying supernatural abilities, they have ultimately cultivated an unparalleled power that transcends reincarnation! Although these powers are formidable, they are by no means the strongest! Look at the "Panlong" fans who travel through the world of "Panlong," possessing the most powerful supernatural abilities, traversing countless planes, and becoming the masters of their own destinies!

On a morning of year, month, and day, Yang Zhenyu stood before a mirror, looking at his reflection. In his mind, there were only two words flashing: "confidence". With his thick hair, bushy eyebrows, and big eyes, along with a stature that could easily pass as a CM model, coupled with a brand new pilot uniform, he was simply the epitome of a tall, rich, and handsome man. Yang Zhenyu gave a confident smile, or you could also say a narcissistic smile, well, where would confidence come from without a little narcissism? He straightened his back, carefully placed the yellow shoulder boards with four bars on his shoulders, and with a quirk of his mouth, he said to himself, "It's going to be a great day. Let's do our best!" Then he grabbed his flight suitcase and walked out the door.

As a senior Naruto fan, Classmate Zhao Er downloaded a supposedly latest and highly anticipated Naruto mobile game from a website. When he finished downloading, a strong light flashed. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had transformed into Conan Edogawa, the unfortunate child of Konoha. With this ominous name, how can he survive in the chaotic ninja world? I don't know how to describe this feeling. The urban novel I had high hopes for, which I wrote over 30,000 words for, hardly had any readers. I guess at least ten collections were probably done by my friends. I casually wrote a fanfic based on my hobby, and with just 10,000 words, it already has over 30 collections. I'm truly touched. Originally, I was thinking of giving up on writing novels, but for now, I will at least finish this book. I'm not expecting recommendations or collections, but after you finish reading it, please leave me a comment. It will make me feel less lonely during the writing process.
