He was very similar to me who skipped the beginner's tutorial when playing games. The gimmick of the holographic virtual reality game allowed the male protagonist to successfully become the planner of this Wasteland OL, summoning players to work for him. Of course, this was a parallel world, and the content of the planned updates was based on the players. Every time the male protagonist visited the forum to see the players 'new content, he would directly copy it as the update content. It was very interesting!

Heart Following Immortal Cultivation + Double Penetration. The main character traveled through the cultivation world and became a low-level spirit farmer. However, with the golden finger, he could pass through the martial arts world with the power of demons. He would use his spiritual farming techniques and the resources of the cultivation world to go to the martial arts world to cultivate martial arts, and then feed them back to immortal cultivation. He was currently at the top of the martial arts world, and the cultivation world was about to break through to the foundation establishment stage. Why I'm reading this book: Actually, at the beginning, I really thought that this book was the worst of the plagiarist's recent books. I can't say that it's very toxic, but I can't find anything to read. It's quite useless. I was even prepared to give up on it after entering V. However, as the protagonist gained a certain amount of power after the novel was published, the popularity of the novel immediately returned to the normal level of plagiarism. Moreover, this book was a revision of the traditional mortal flow that strengthened the elements of obedience. As an old mortal flow reader, it was still quite satisfactory. He was still reading it. Why not read this book? In addition, the characteristic of plagiarists was that the protagonist was ruthless and ruthless, and only wanted to improve himself. Those who did not like this probably felt that the protagonist was not human. Moreover, many times, the flow of the heart would make the plot unhappy. In general, the rations would be evaluated according to the situation. "Who told him to cultivate!" The cultivation system was the familiar classic system of Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. The cultivation aptitude was also the common five elements spirit root, which could easily understand the realm and environment. However, the author also wrote some of his own things, such as 'fake' single spiritual root 'x' real 'single spiritual root',' pure Yang spiritual root, and the protagonist's sword spirit root, etc. (Although she was a little girl who was afraid of heights and couldn't ride a sword, it was quite common for female channel members to be afraid of heights.) The protagonist went to a cultivation sect near his home to try his luck. On the way, he got a ride on a carriage and met a woman. The three of them discussed how to cheat, but the woman was their invigilator. Fortunately, he bought the wrong answer and did not deal with them. (I think it has something to do with their talent.) Then, they took part in the test and passed the test in an unusual way. The protagonist's journey of cultivation had officially begun. In addition, the author really liked to twist the situation. The effect was always unexpected and interesting. It was easy to read the daily cultivation literature, and it was very enjoyable to read. There were other books with similar styles, such as Pei Bubao's "I Can't Be a Sword God" and "Please Slay the Demon, Young Master." (P.S. There are still a hundred chapters left before "Please Slay the Demon, Young Master" is finished. The book farming and book famine are worth killing.) You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

One great urban planning success story is Curitiba in Brazil. They focused on an efficient public transportation system. The bus rapid transit system, or BRT, is a model for many cities. It has dedicated lanes, making bus rides fast and reliable. This encouraged people to use public transport, reducing traffic congestion and pollution.

One success story is the High Line in New York City. It transformed an old, unused elevated railway into a beautiful public park. This not only provided a new green space for residents and tourists but also spurred economic development in the surrounding area, with new businesses and restaurants opening up.

Most of the time, urban legends are fiction. They're made up to be entertaining or to convey some sort of moral or cautionary message. They might have elements that seem realistic, but they're not factual.

Urban myths and legends add a sense of mystery. They are often based on local lore or strange events that people can't fully explain. For example, the stories about haunted houses in different cities. These urban myths give writers of scary stories a rich source of material. They can take the basic idea of a haunted place from an urban myth and build a whole story around it.
