Nine Directions Tea Party 10 Debut
Nine Directions Tea Party 10-Debut
Finally, another volume is finished; I feel like I've fought a big battle myself. The more complex the plot and the more numerous the forces, the harder it is to weave a beautiful ending.
Next, let's brew a cup of good tea and chat with everyone about the small controversies in the plot.
Some friends think that the foreshadowing for Yu Zecheng and the Wanqi uncle and nephew in the early stage of this volume's climax was too long and redundant.
Means serve the purpose.
In fact, such questioning also existed before the chaos in the Tiangong. At that time, it was to reflect the protagonist's planning and layout solidly, making the final blow both shocking and logical.
So what about now? Now it is to write this game of "chess" well.
The Wanqi uncle and nephew and Yu Zecheng were all trying their best to maneuver and perform within their own capabilities, but in the end, they couldn't escape the fate of being chess pieces.
The only ones qualified to sit opposite and play chess with He Lingchuan were State Preceptor Frost Leaf and State Preceptor Wang.
However, State Preceptor Frost Leaf and State Preceptor Wang were also trying their best to turn the protagonist into a chess piece in their own hands.
This is a game of chess, step by step, going higher and higher. The significance of the battle is no longer limited to the battle itself.
And for the protagonist, this rebellion suppression battle and defense battle was also the first time the brand-new force he led stepped onto the world stage, sending a signal of independence to the two major powers.
This is a debut, a transformation of the protagonist from an individual to a force; this is the beginning of a brand-new era and a milestone event for this world, worthy of the author spending ink to write about this process of the great wind rising from the green duckweed.
Through strength, means, and attitude, the Yangshan Archipelago gained the recognition of State Preceptor Frost Leaf and Beijia; this is "autonomy."
Adhering to the principle of mutual benefit in dealing with Mou, clearly stating that the two sides are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, let alone a thigh and leg hair relationship, the Yangshan Archipelago showed "independence."
With both bosses like this, surrounding countries and regions, such as Bailie and the Qing Kingdom, must lower their posture and be kind to neighbors.
The overall development situation of the Yangshan Archipelago has since been opened.
So what was foreshadowed in the early stage of Nine Directions was not this battle itself.
As far as the whole event is concerned, the battle is a small chess piece, and the game is a big chess piece.
Some people think they are chess players, but they are just a piece in a more macro situation.
The battle ended, and the game just began.
Throwing a stone into still water, what you want to see are the ripples.
In fact, little He in the book is playing chess, and Nine Directions outside the book is also playing chess.
I can't see ten steps ahead, but at least I have to see five steps. Only by constantly adjusting and modifying back and forth can I barely achieve the desired effect.
Caution is indeed caution, and production indeed... didn't keep up, so I never dared to mention asking for rewards for extra updates, please forgive me, bosses. Nine Directions is also constantly adjusting itself; if I can improve production, I guarantee to use extra updates to pat the monthly tickets of all bosses, ah no, the table.
Speaking of which, I have also pondered repeatedly whether my writing is too "delicate" or "long-winded"? If you break it down, this is a matter of scale, being detailed or brief as appropriate.
What should be detailed, and what should be brief? Why should a recruitment, a battle, and a game of chess be written in such detail, as if it were real? Last time when He Lingchuan's cultivation made great progress, a friend teased Nine Directions: "This author seems to want to teach me how to break through."
Damn it, you hit me with a hearty laugh.
I'll ask everyone a question: When you ascend to the throne and rule the world, and are worshipped by ten thousand countries, do you want to say: "This is the empire I fought for with my own hands!"
Or do you want to say: "Damn, my luck is so good, I traveled here and actually became the emperor?"
Both are being king and emperor, but can these two kinds of satisfaction be the same?
Can the heroic and magnificent feeling of looking down on the world in the former be replaced by the secret joy and pride of the latter? So where is the difference? It lies in whether you have "done it yourself."
The word "pretend" in "pretending to be cool" is used extremely well; only fake things need to be pretended.
This "cool," it has no quality, its meaning is frivolous; if you don't pretend, how can others see it? How can you satisfy yourself? However, Qin Shi Huang, Han Wu Di, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu—do they need to pretend? They are the coolness itself, okay?
Others look at them as if they are pretending to be cool every day, but in fact, this is their daily life and original scene; there is no need to deliberately "pretend."
So, this is the focus of the entire book "Immortal":
Fighting for the empire with real swords and guns.
Such coolness is particularly natural.
Little He will overcome thorns and thistles in the book and continue to grow. From establishing merits and establishing a career, to killing in all directions; from overcoming difficulties, to clearing the world.
We will accompany him to fight together and start a business together.
Whether it is in terms of cultivation, state of mind, fighting, development, organization... as long as it is an unavoidable difficulty, we must accompany him to overcome and solve it together.
For the author, there is no such thing as "I can write this kind of book, but I'm not good at that kind of book"! History, power, immortality, adventure, fighting, farming... we don't avoid anything, we write whatever we should write.
From fighting in the Tiangong to small things like construction and recruitment, they are actually in the same dimension and all require the protagonist to take it step by step and do it solidly.
Because there is no shortcut to success.
I hope this book can bring you an immersive and saturated experience of success, "as if it were real."
After talking about the "detailed" I perceive, let's talk about "brief."
Repetitive events and battles, day-after-day farming processes, we usually write briefly, such as the seven-head gift box this time. Since the birth date and time were mentioned earlier, everyone knows it was done by the nightmare, so there is no need to expand.
That is to say, routines are written briefly to take up less of everyone's time and energy.
They say companionship is the longest confession. Since the book has been written to this point, is it us accompanying the protagonist to grow, or the protagonist accompanying us to progress? Is he a character in the book, or is he us?
No need to distinguish.
For Nine Directions, whether it is me accompanying the protagonist to solve the problems he encountered, or the protagonist accompanying me to solve the problems I encountered, there is no need to distinguish, as long as we grow together.
As for you and me, the same is true.
Progress together, thank you for having you.
