Chapter 71: Notes on Going on Sale

It's time to go on sale again.

This time, the sale starts at noon on the 7th tomorrow; note it's noon, not the usual midnight.

It seems few go on sale at midnight these days; I'm even a bit unaccustomed to it.

As for updates, I'll release five chapters at once, about 15,000 words, then the 6 o'clock update will be gone, followed by three more chapters totaling 10,000 words the next day.

I'll try to add extra updates during the initial sale period; emmmm, though everyone knows Old Wei's male streak won't last long, I'll do my best and see if I can reach the badge for ten daily 10,000-word updates within the first month.

This time I didn't qualify for the widget event; when the event was scheduled, I was over 14,000, just a few hundred short of the target, but two days after the schedule was set, I hit the target... The event couldn't be changed in time, or the sale would have been delayed by a week.

Scratching my head.

Let's go on sale first. Judging by the momentum, there should be another chance to give everyone a widget later.

Regarding this book, calling it Spring and Autumn 2.0 is definitely wrong; there won't be any modern elements invading and transforming the Xianxia world, and Old Lu will have plenty of battles, only his actions will lean more toward plotting and striking from the shadows, not as straightforward as Zhao Changhe.

Old readers know I dislike repeating what I wrote in the previous book; after writing a shut-in Chu Ge, the next was the chivalrous Zhao Changhe, and now that the chivalrous type is done, I'm writing about someone like Lu Xingzhou, who starts with limited mobility and must rely more on planning.

So if you call it a battle-of-wits novel, it's not really; it's just that the protagonist's role is different; in reality, it's still a progression story with some farming elements added.

Ultimately, in a Xianxia world of immense power, even low-level Xianxia, strength comes first; relying solely on schemes won't work. Unlike Spring and Autumn, which leans more toward Wuxia with no direct means to curse someone to death, this world has such methods. So Chief Steward Xue can be weak, but Old Lu cannot.

As for the heroine, Shen Tang and Old Lu have a mutual redemption dynamic. Old Lu's past determines his thinking will be relatively dark and full of resentment, healed by Shen Tang's gentleness and trust; Shen Tang, too, retreated and shattered after being betrayed by family, and with Old Lu healing her leg and awakening her will to "make them fail," the domineering side of her personality begins to show its edge.

Initially, both only felt some empathy due to similar experiences; later, through mutual help, they gradually fell for each other. This feeling of mutual redemption is quite healing. I've never written this kind of relationship before, so I don't know if everyone will like it.

As for Little Bai Mao, she is not Mu Jianli; Jianli isn't this robotic. A Nuo is even less like Yin Ye; Yin Ye's child form was very innocent, while A Nuo's experiences determine she will be very scheming; perhaps when she grows up, she'll resemble Qing Wu a bit more...

I've always been trying to write characters different from before; I hope the brothers will like it.

By the way, when writing A Nuo, I was thinking of a sticky rice dumpling; at that time, I truly didn't know about the A Nuo meme, which made things a bit awkward, feeling like it affected immersion; scratching my head.

For now, the plotlines are just these few; others like Ye Tinglan and Yuan Muyu only appear peripherally; the plot hasn't even reached them yet, not even the plot of Melon Girl, who appeared earliest, has unfolded. So those brothers who look at the character list and complain about so many heroines in just a few chapters... emmmm, hard to comment.

Oh right, one thing is old stock; I'll continue using the cultivation system from Asking the Dao... many should have noticed.

Overall, by this point, Old Lu has stood up; the initial minor storyline is complete, the golden finger is in place, and what follows will be an even more spectacular world.

Thank you all for your continued support; thank you everyone.
