Chapter 298: 299. September Summary

299. September Summary

The reward in September was 1680.59; last month saved 56.7; reward added 5 chapters; the remaining 72.29 was saved for next month.

In September, a guide was put up; the effect was okay, and it finally passed the boutique line.

During this period, writing was too fast, encountering a small problem; actually, every update can encounter it, which is that after explosive updates, the tone can't grasp the key points, and there isn't much time for thinking.

I am definitely not finding an excuse for less updates; I feel this is a weakness of mine; I should do better plot planning in the future.

In the August summary, there weren't too many problems; they were all around some personal things of mine, for example, depression or something.

I summarized it recently; the onset of depression actually has a line; the first to appear is anxiety; you will feel uneasy about everything, even if it's just your family leaving your sight, things captured from complex external information will make you uneasy.

For example, my child goes out to play, I will worry about whether he will be hit by a car, whether he will fight with peers, whether he will fall, whether he will hurt himself.

For example, my partner is cooking in the kitchen, I worry about whether she will cut her hand; every time I sharpen the knife, I try not to sharpen it too sharp, so even if it cuts, it won't be too deep; after all, the knife is dull.

I also worry about myself, physical health, income situation, various situations, worry about the family's physical situation, worry about the age of grandparents and the problems they are facing.

Anxiety, very terrible.

Anxiety brought serious somatization symptoms; simply put, you are not sick, but you feel you are sick, because you feel your whole body is uncomfortable.

The most common ones are back pain, foreign body sensation in the throat, chest tightness, palpitations, difficulty breathing, body pain.

Go to the hospital for examination, everything is good, but these pains and tortures have been bothering me, which will make me more anxious.

Am I sick?

Also in the process of anxiety and somatization constantly worsening, depression started to occur.

Because every moment, I am in a state of serious illness; even if I look normal, in fact, I need to endure strong back pain, chest tightness, and stinging pains appearing in various places on my body.

This kind of pain makes people feel desperate; I used to think how can pain torture people to the point of wanting to die?

But now I understand, because sometimes I really can't hold on.

I try not to use drugs, because the side effects of drugs are great, affecting my writing.

Some people said, you should pay attention to health, rather than ignoring these problems for the sake of writing books.

But life always has to go on; I am in a very awkward time period; parents are losing their labor ability, there are small ones below to support, and there are ourselves in the middle.

Stopping is easy, but life won't stop, bills won't stop, so I can only continue.

But fortunately, I also have some methods to reduce somatization symptoms and depression: playing cards, a certain degree of social interaction, and playing games.

When I immerse myself in these activities, I can't feel the pain brought by somatization, depression will also disappear, and anxiety is gone!

But I can't play cards with people every day, and I can't drag others to socialize every day; everyone has their own life and work.

So, playing games became the only way for me to resolve these problems.

Of course, I am not looking for an excuse; I sincerely suggest that everyone should maintain mental health, because it is indeed very painful.

Let's talk about a problem that readers reflect more.

Is the police force too weak, and why do federal governments at all levels have connections with gangs?

Many people think my description of this era is not realistic; actually, I can give many examples, but some examples you may not know the source, so I thought about it and thought of a person who was very famous a few years ago or even now, Al Capone.

During Al Capone's peak period, the mayor's election needed to consult his opinion first; only when he thought you could elect a mayor could the election proceed normally.

Police work for him; if someone reports him, the police will tell him the reporter's information.

In just a few years, he accumulated wealth through criminal means; what can be counted is about sixty to eighty million.

This doesn't include what can't be counted, interest transmission.

Sometimes when I discuss that history with people, I meet some people who feel Al Capone is the peak of gangs.

But in fact, he might only have a sixty-point level, calculated out of one hundred points.

Because behind this, some families constantly refresh records with criminal income of hundreds of millions, billions, or even more than four billion a year!

They control the entire underground world and constantly radiate to the ground world; there are quite a few documents introducing these.

So it's not that I wrote it very exaggeratedly, but this world is just so magical!

Certain Five Great Families, Federal Five Great Families, they are still active until now.

Think about it, why can they still be active?

Think about why so many people were fine a while ago, but a few people drowned.

Actually, they have always been there, and there are still many people who still need them!

Of course, as far as the content in the story is concerned, they haven't reached the peak period yet, but they will also experience troughs.

The story takes place in 1023-1024; it is still constantly developing; this story still has a very long way to go; everyone will experience a lot and welcome the final ending.

Actually, I don't even know what the ending is; Lanse and Dulin and Lin Qi, through brain waves, are borrowing my body to write their stories.

Another problem is the price problem; actually, in the capitalist camp, prices are linked to mysticism.

When the per capita income is only a few dollars, they have billionaires.

When the per capita income is only ten or so dollars, earning millions or tens of millions a year is like playing for some people.

In the book, we should correctly view the comparison of prices, which is the income and living expenses of the poor, not the rich.

Just like now, ordinary people earn four or five thousand a month, but rich people have cars worth tens of millions.

In the book, fifteen cents can buy a pound of bread; a family of three needs a pound of bread plus some other food a day; the cost price is about fifty to sixty cents.

Eat better, one dollar, but no one will eat one dollar of food every day, just occasionally improve.

Five-cent or even two-cent cigarettes, fifteen-cent large glasses of beer before the price increase...

Of course, I will try my best to control it so it doesn't appear outrageous.

Basically, that's it.

If you have questions, leave a message, or directly q me; I will reply uniformly in next month's monthly summary.

That's it. ===== CHAPTER 299 =====
