Orz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later today at noon, 12:00 PM on June 9th, I will be dropping five Chapters at once as a thank you to all my Godfathers, so you can read to your heart’s content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the premium release details are out of the way, I believe this is the part where I’m supposed to tell a sob story, based on my observations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it comes to being miserable, well, Xiaolu certainly is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m pushing thirty with no car, no house, no savings, and no partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A textbook case of having nothing to my name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...it’s not so bad that I can’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are plenty of people in the world who have it worse than me, so I think I can skip the sob story and get straight to asking for first-day subscriptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please get that first-day sub!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please get that first-day sub!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please get that first-day sub!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"first-day subscription\" count is the number of people who subscribe to the first premium Chapter (Chapter 69) within the first 24 hours of its release (from 12:00 PM, June 9th to 12:00 PM, June 10th). This number is absolutely vital for whether the novel gets future recommendations, whether it can be considered a success, and whether I can even continue writing it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For just a few cents, my Godfathers can give Xiaolu the motivation and determination to keep writing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even to the Godfathers who are used to reading pirated versions, Xiaolu implores you to subscribe to Chapter 69. Thank you so, so much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I spend five or six hours a day in front of my computer to the point of near-lumbar strain, lose sleep every night while brainstorming the plot, and have my hair falling out in droves, only for the money I earn to not even be enough to afford an extra chicken leg with my meal... it would be very difficult for Xiaolu to carry on. I hope my Godfathers can understand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... please hit me with that first-day sub! My Godfathers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the begging for first-day subs out of the way, let’s talk about the future update schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolu hereby promises to release at least 6,000 characters a day. Once I get into that rhythm, I’ll see if I can work my way up to a consistent 10,000 characters a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the first-day subscription numbers aren’t too terrible, then Xiaolu will be here come rain or shine, never missing an update, until the very end of the novel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for bonus Chapters—for things like donations, monthly passes, or \"Alliance Lord\" supporters—as a complete newbie, Xiaolu doesn’t really understand all that yet. I’ll have to wait and see how things go before saying more on that front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if I do start releasing bonus Chapters, Xiaolu will post a separate announcement each month to lay out the details. I will also be sure to add the words \"Bonus Chapter\" to the end of the relevant Chapter titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, to prevent my true, dedicated Godfathers from being bothered by mindless trolls and spammers, Xiaolu will be activating a \"1-point Fan Value to comment\" restriction after the book goes premium. I hope you can all understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if you find anything unreasonable in my approach, please point it out kindly. Xiaolu will take it seriously and correct his mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, that’s pretty much everything I wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you again to all my Godfathers for your support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolu wishes all of his Godfathers success in all your endeavors, a bright and prosperous future, and may all your dreams come true!\u003C\u002Fp>",638,"2026-06-09T07:01:39.614Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d30c7d7227eb3c5bc2eefddb673bf1668aeab245b6bc5aac2ff5097897b65ec","knight-from-apprentice-to-the-almighty-chapter-79","knight-from-apprentice-to-the-almighty-chapter-77",216,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fknight-from-apprentice-to-the-almighty-cover.jpg"]
