Chapter 176: Grandmaster, treat me to a meal!!!

Grandmaster, treat me to a meal!!!

In the blink of an eye, it's time to go live.

It's the rule of the martial world: before going live, one always has to say a few words, just like soliciting votes in a talent show. When you're in the martial world, you can't avoid worldliness.

The main thing, and what I most want, is still to get subscriptions.

Shout it out loud: Subscribe!!! I feel a bit better inside.

Grandmaster, treat me to a meal!!!

In recent days, I've learned over a hundred pre-launch statements.

I won't resort to playing the pity card. Stuff like 'I'm a newbie' or 'I'm sick but still working'—that kind of talk only counts when the big names on this site or elsewhere say it; I feel it would be pointless for me to say it.

Even if I play the pity card, there still needs to be someone buying it.

Hmm, right now I feel especially assured.

To earn subscriptions, you need sincerity. Don't sell pity—sell sincerity.

Bonus chapters are being stockpiled. First, a ten-day burst of ten‑thousand‑word chapters. Starting Friday, I'll put out ten thousand words each day until December 30.

Then I'll calculate the various bonus chapters. Here's the rundown for everyone: a bonus chapter for every 500 average subscriptions, and the Alliance Leader gets a bonus chapter (the first Alliance Leader, following the previous practice; if there are more Alliance Leaders… we'll see, we'll see). That's probably all.

Fight for monthly tickets? Uh, as someone especially confident, I won't do such a pointless thing. I saw in the comments that readers are saving monthly tickets for me, which I'm truly grateful for, but fighting over monthly tickets—seeing the red packet area flooded with monthly ticket red packets every day—makes me nervous. The current monthly ticket ranking requires hundreds of thousands to climb; without several hundred thousand, forget it. Uh, that's hundreds of thousands indeed—several Golden General Alliances piled on top, I'd directly churn out hundreds of extra chapters, advancing the book's completion by three to five months.

Better to just update honestly; we'll talk after the subscriptions go up.

Also, there's something relatively important.

I've noticed that recent books go live at noon 12:00 (I used to think it was midnight 12:00), so to see if first‑day subscriptions can push into the featured list, on December 21 (Friday) I'll stay at the computer, and as soon as it's past 12:00 I'll change the status and get ready to update.

Of course, when I can update depends on whether I can quickly figure out the operation… after all, I'm older, so my comprehension is a bit slow.

During this period, however many subscriptions we get, I'll have to rely on you all.

On December 22 (Saturday), at 1:00 p. m. I'll directly update five chapters. The main reason is to avoid diluting first‑day subscriptions with new chapters; please understand and support this little wish.

Readers who dislike my cliffhangers can now read together. I saw in this chapter that some readers said breaking chapters like this would cause prostatitis. Actually, at my age, even if I didn't break chapters, my prostate wouldn't be great anyway~~~laugh.

From December 23 (Sunday) to December 30, there will be five updates a day, at 2:00, 7:00, 12:00, 17:00, and 22:00.

I've explained the work plan for this period and all the pleas for subscriptions; I've been long‑winded, please bear with me.

Still that saying: please support, please subscribe, I will certainly work hard to tell the story. Bow~~~
