Chapter 715: Take a Day Off Tomorrow

Friends returning home tomorrow, please pack your belongings, arrange travel, and prepare for your return; thus, there will be no update today.

Updates resume on the 28th.

From an objective standpoint, June’s updates showed limited progress, but compared to days with no updates—which were mostly due to personal matters—days with updates consistently exceeded four thousand words and rarely appeared at 23:59. Thus, from the author’s perspective, June’s update frequency improved significantly, and we hope to maintain this in July.

Regarding daily update times, the stable 8:00 PM schedule earlier was likely due to accumulated momentum from a month-long break. Since resuming regular serialization, simply posting daily is already the utmost effort; today’s content may involve fewer complications, allowing an 8:00 PM release, but tomorrow’s may require hours of planning, pushing the work into the evening.

Of course, readers ask: why not plan tomorrow’s chapter while finishing today’s at 8:00 PM?

Please understand: after completing any chapter, the author is utterly drained, mentally incapable of further work, and must rest before continuing.

Thus, as readers lament the eternal era as forever unattainable, the author can only sigh along with them.

Then, a sudden idea: why not redefine the eternal era?

Our clocks drift over three seconds daily from Earth’s rotation, yet over a century, Earth’s rotational length may shift by just two milliseconds!

Nothing in this world is eternal—it is merely a wanderer chasing illusions.

Therefore, though the parrot’s updates cannot be fixed at 8:00 PM, they can still be an eternal era.

It is hereby decided:

Three tiered update times will be set daily.

20:00

22:00

23:00

If the first tier is missed, the update defaults to the second tier; if the second tier is missed, it defaults to the third tier!

That is, if the author finishes writing at 9:00 PM, they will still withhold the post and schedule it for 22:00, to avoid confusing readers with inconsistent timing.

Naturally, due to time zone differences (?), minor minute-level fluctuations may occur on top of these tiers—for example, if writing finishes at 8:11 PM, it may still be posted; please bear with us.

The author will strive to uphold the first tier, strictly adhere to the second tier, and fiercely defend the third tier!

This new policy is now in effect!

Of course, some readers may ask: what if today’s update goes past 23:00?

“…”

Well… if it’s past 23:00… then it’s the chaotic era… perhaps 23:59…

Was that previous stretch of consistent 23:59 updates a kind of eternal era? (thinking)…
