Chapter 331: Notes on Going Premium! It's finally here!

A launch announcement! It's finally here!

【1】 Notes on Going Premium! It's finally here!

French Fries hereby makes a grand announcement!

【2】 Fries solemnly announces here!

It'll go live tomorrow, Friday at noon sharp!

【3】 It goes premium tomorrow, Friday, at noon!

Actually, the idea for this book came to me back in June, and in July I managed to get it approved by my boss—Ziliang—after a grueling review.

【4】 Actually, the idea for this book came in June, and in July, I successfully passed the manuscript under my boss—Ziliang.

He asked me when I was going to publish it.

【5】 He asked me when I would publish the book?

I said next week, after I write up some saved drafts.

【6】 I said next week, to write up some backlog.

Then I just went off to work.

【7】 Then, I went to work.

Fast-forward to mid-September.

【8】 Time fast-forwarded to mid-September.

I suddenly remembered I seemed to have gotten a manuscript approved, so I opened my dusty Writer's Assistant app—and aside from the paper from Lu and the leaves from Jin, all that was left was an opening paragraph and the book title.

【9】 I suddenly remembered I seemed to have passed a manuscript; I opened the dusty Author Assistant, and aside from the paper of Lu State and the leaves of Jin State, only an opening and a book title remained.

Saved drafts? What saved drafts?

【10】 Backlog? What backlog?

So, trembling and slightly kidney-deficient, I went to find Ziliang and told him I'd start the book right after Mid-Autumn Festival—start early, die early.

【11】 So, trembling and somewhat kidney-deficient, I went to find Ziliang and told him I'd start the book after the Mid-Autumn Festival; start early, die early.

The boss's exact reply was: "Why don't I have any memory of this book at all?"

【12】 The boss replied verbatim: "How do I have no impression of this book?"

Oh boy, alright then.

【13】 Mine, okay.

I saved up drafts for two whole months, saved myself into kidney deficiency, saved up sadness and an empty wallet—everything got saved except the actual word count.

【14】 I stored two months of manuscript, stored up kidney deficiency, stored up sadness and an empty wallet; I stored everything except word count.

Before launching the book, I asked him to give me his blessing.

【15】 Before starting the book, I asked him to bless me.

He said he wished me luck in trying to survive.

【16】 He said he wished me to strive to survive.

I said that's not right.

【17】 I said that's wrong.

You're supposed to say, "What you're writing is a piece of sh—"

【18】 You should say "What you wrote is a gou..."

Alright, after getting my White Rose exclusive power-up, this book was born, charging headlong into the Mystery category—only to see the Mysterious Revival list full of new releases.

【19】 Alright, after obtaining the White Rose exclusive buff, this book was born, fiercely charging into Qi Xuanyi, and then seeing the mysterious revival filling the New Book Rankings.

Me: "What the hell? Forget it, let it die!"

【20】 Me: "Playing gou-eight? Just die!"

Luckily, with everyone's help, I still barely managed to climb to second place on the Mystery new releases chart. The big guy ahead of me really can't be beaten—he's the one reviving the Mystery genre, while I'm just a piece of trash here for the laughs.

【21】 Fortunately, with everyone's help, I barely climbed to the second spot on the Qi Xuanyi New Book list; that big brother above me is indeed unbeatable, he is the light revitalizing Qi Xuanyi, I am just a dirty thing for fun.

Along the way, plenty of bros pointed out that the logic didn't hold here and there, that so-and-so was acting way too dumb, and asked what the hell kind of garbage I was writing.

【22】 Along the way, many brothers said the logic here, here, and here doesn't work, that so-and-so is too stupid, and what gou-ba thing you, you, you wrote.

Same thing as always—I'm not a detective, and I can't pull off airtight logic. If I could, I'd have written mystery novels and become the second Arthur Conan Doyle by now.

【23】 Still that same saying—I'm not a detective, nor can I achieve flawless logic; otherwise, I'd have written mystery novels long ago to become the second Arthur Conan Doyle.

I just can't do it!

【24】 I can't do it!

Besides, I always figured people read novels either when they're slacking off at work or resting after work, or just to kill time in their leisure hours.

【25】 Besides, I originally aimed for when everyone reads novels, either slacking off at work or resting after work, or using leisure time to kill time.

Throwing in some laughs is way better than nitpicking every word—let everyone empty their minds and have a good time, bursting out laughing when they hit a funny bit.

【26】 Making some fun is much better than nitpicking words; let everyone empty their brains and have fun, so they can burst out laughing when they see a certain joke.

That's enough.

【27】 That is enough.

My goal is achieved.

【28】 My goal is thus achieved.

At the very least, I've brought everyone some happiness.

【29】 At least, I brought happiness to everyone.

Think about it carefully! How long has it been since you genuinely laughed out loud in real life!

【30】 Think carefully for me! How long have you not laughed happily in reality!

If it's been more than a week!

【31】 If it's been over a week!

Then right now! Immediately! This instant! Walk up to a mirror and give yourself a smile! Look at your own smiling face! That's your most handsome and beautiful look!

【32】 Then now! Immediately! Right away! Walk to the mirror and smile! Look at your smiling face! This is your most handsome and beautiful look!

Don't forget what life is for.

【33】 Do not forget what life is for.

The line between surviving and living.

【34】 The thin line between survival and living.

Is happiness.

【35】 Is happiness.

Alright, I've gone off on a tangent—let's talk about the current situation, which is also the bonus chapter segment everyone loves to see.

【36】 Alright, I've digressed; let's talk about the current issue, which is also the welcome bonus update segment.

First off, tomorrow should be four or five chapters!

【37】 First, tomorrow should be four updates or five updates!

That depends on how much I slack off at work, but four chapters shouldn't be a problem. Remember, working hard and getting paid—that's the wage you've earned through your own labor, and you deserve it.

【38】 This depends on how much Fries slacks off at work, but four updates is no big deal; remember, working hard to get money is wages earned by your labor, which you deserve.

But slacking off, not doing any work, and still getting paid? That's the real profit!

【39】 But slacking off, doing nothing, and still getting paid—that is truly earning it!

Next, 500 initial subscriptions is victory! (The goal)

【40】 Second, five hundred first subscriptions is victory! (Goal)

Over 500, and for every extra 100 initial subscriptions, I'll add one more chapter. If I can't finish them that day, I'll make them up over the next few days—I swear I'll never keep owing you guys forever!

【41】 Exceeding five hundred, every extra one hundred first subscriptions adds one update; if not finished that day, it will be made up in the following days; I absolutely won't keep delaying!

Finally, starting in November, I should be putting out at least three chapters a day, with occasional bursts of four or five.

【42】 Finally, starting in November, there should be at least three updates daily, occasionally exploding with four or five.

Because I'm going all out! JOJO!

【43】 Because I'm not being human anymore! JOJO!

As for any objections from my boss at work? He has none, at least I haven't heard any.

【44】 As for whether the boss here at work has any objections? He has none, at least I haven't heard any.

If he has any complaints, he can take them up with Lao Da on the helicopter—Lao Da probably doesn't have any either.

【45】 If he has any objections, let him tell Lao Da on the helicopter; Lao Da probably has no objections either.

I'll definitely bring you all more laughs down the line! Put on more entertaining shows!

【46】 Later, I will definitely make more fun for everyone! Create more show effects!

Love you guys!

【47】 Love you guys!

The above is from 18-year-old newbie author French Fries.

【48】 The above, from 18-year-old new author Fries.

Don't ask me what life is for!

【49】 Do not ask me what life is for!

It's for going to the dock to grab some french fries!

【50】 To go to the dock and get some fries!
