Chapter 214: Explanation

Explanation

Yesterday's update was moved up by an hour, and I missed a chapter, because after finishing two chapters I felt dizzy and nauseous, didn't even have time to write a leave note, so I hurriedly posted it.

I thought I'd sleep quickly and write early tomorrow, but before taking a shower I collapsed weakly at the bathroom door, didn't lose consciousness, just felt completely weak, unable to move, vision going dark.

I had been feeling unwell these days, thinking it was a sequel of the previous surgery, but the hospital said my cervical spine was severely deformed, likely compressing nerves, requiring long-term conditioning.

This situation practically means saying goodbye to typing.

I'm naturally unwilling, having just paid the down payment for a house, with a monthly mortgage of 22,000, originally hoping writing could offset a bit, but now it's adding insult to injury.

Saying this isn't to seek sympathy; although I'm useless, my wife earns more, the loan isn't too much pressure, at worst I'll sponge off her and eat soft rice, just bringing her foot-washing water every day—for a Shanghai man, that's nothing.

But being able to do something, of course I still want to do something; when I tried writing a novel the year before last, it turned out far better than I expected.

This book's performance is also good: first-week subscriptions 2700, average and chase subscriptions dropped a bit at launch because updates were too sparse, but soon stabilized; becoming a featured work is just a matter of time, even without further recommendations earning over ten thousand a month is no problem—the editor said two days ago he'd arrange a big push and then a featured push, but then this happened.

I feel most sorry for my editor Ni Qiu Da; I'm a nobody newcomer, two books took up a lot of his resources, yet both disappointed him.

Also, many friends who subscribed and tipped, I'm deeply sorry.

Especially the alliance leader inoriyuzu and several other big shots, I truly feel remorseful.

Furthermore, the three operations officers of this book, I feel ashamed before you.

As for investments, fortunately I've already completed three achievements; I'll try to apply for completion, but I don't know if it'll pass.

Given my current condition, the chance of continuing to type is slim; these words are still dictated lying in bed, then typed up by my wife.

Finally, I advise teenage friends: all those late-night gaming and phone use will eventually come back to bite you; this hospital visit, the doctor said people like me, born in the 80s, such situations are very common, all due to the influence of computers and phones becoming widespread in youth; think about today's 90s and 00s generations, it's unimaginable—phones won't ruin a generation, but they'll surely damage many people's health.

Everyone, take me as a warning. chaptere
