Overall, the first half of this month was sufficiently diligent, but the second half grew lax due to illness, failing to maintain the previous update pace.

The kid, not yet wise, set an incredibly bold, fearless, foolish, self-destructive additional update rule.

Sometimes I ask myself—TMD! 50 monthly tickets for one update—is this really something a human could come up with?

Answer: yes.

In this world, there are always geniuses who reveal astonishing wisdom in a flash of inspiration.

And, as luck would have it, the victim is myself.

I kill myself, haha!

……sigh.

I made my own bed—I must lie in it.

Thanks to your overwhelming support, I've reached this point; Xiao Ba is deeply grateful.

To clear all these additional updates before I die and avoid becoming a defaulter, Xiao Ba must keep pushing forward.

Therefore, we are revising the monthly ticket additional update rule.

New rule: 【Every 1000 monthly tickets add 1 update, no cap.】

In return, during double monthly ticket months, I'll hold 【monthly ticket lottery】 events.

Once I've cleared these remaining two hundred+ overdue updates, I'll switch to a new monthly ticket rule.

This way, I should catch up.

Soonest by April, longest by June—I will finish them all.

I reiterate—I truly intend to clear them all!

Otherwise, I could just keep this rule going, tricking everyone into spamming popcorn and monthly tickets, accumulating five or six hundred overdue updates and creating a new record at Qidian…

Then, when the debt piles up, I'd drag it out, drag it out, turn it into a complete mess, and pretend nothing happened, becoming a defaulter in web literature…

I don't want that!!!

Some might think lice don't bother you when there are too many, but I can't—I feel physically ill when I owe updates…

So, let me clear what's in hand first! Be a debt-free author!

【PS: Only the monthly ticket additional update rule—the largest component—is being revised; reward updates, average subscription increases, and others remain unchanged and revert to previous rules.】

Temporary new rule:

Every 1000 monthly tickets, add 1 update.

Rewarding an Alliance Lord (including cumulative rewards), add 3 updates.

Rewarding a Bai Yin Alliance Lord, add 12 updates.

(PS: If any big shot really wants to tip a White Bai Yin Alliance, please don't split it into 10 Alliance Masters… I'll really cry!)

Average subscription up by 100, add 1 chapter.

……

These past two days, including the 1st through the 7th of next month, monthly votes have been doubled the whole time.

We're at 4,500 monthly votes now, and the 5,000-vote threshold for adding a chapter per 50 votes is already very close. I wonder how many extra chapters you can still push me to add in the end?

Can only say, 300 extra chapters isn't far off now… ahem.

Dear readers, your monthly votes are still very tempting, and they're also very important for this book. I hope you can vote more~

For that reason, as mentioned before, let's do a small monthly vote event next month!

(Details in the chapter at the start of the month~)

Finances are limited, please bear with me~

Because the 1st through the 7th of next month are all double monthly votes, this event will last ten days, with the draw on 2025.01.11.

At that time I'll open a livestream and use random number software to draw these 128 lucky readers.

(The draw is based on monthly vote serial numbers; one person can win with multiple serial numbers.)

(The right to interpret everything about this event belongs to Hardworking Little Ba——)

……

……

And at the very, very end, let me ask for a day off today. (Pout)

After getting up this morning I wasn't feeling great, my head ached a bit, and I never got into the writing state.

Instead of forcing myself to write, I switched to tallying and calculating these less brain-taxing numbers — extra chapters, monthly vote lottery rules, and such…

In the afternoon I still hadn't recovered, so I took my temperature and found I was running a slight fever. Right now I've got a fever-reducing patch on, urgently took some medicine, hoping to suppress it before it gets worse.

Today, I'm tapping out.

Finally, let me show you Ah Ba's efforts this year!

Given how hard I've worked, praise me!
