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.

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.
