The third volume is finished, and next is the final volume of Lingjing Xingzhe. The word count for the final volume will probably be between 500,000 and 1,000,000 words, and it will definitely be finished by the end of the year. The next thing to do is to tie up the loose ends. In fact, many of the foreshadowings in the early stages point to the same secret. At first glance, there seem to be many foreshadowings, but solving one secret will automatically resolve many of them, without the need for further explanation. Even so, I think there are still a third of the foreshadowings that haven't been resolved. Well, I might have even forgotten some of them myself, so I need to take a day to sort them out, so I'm taking a day off. Why not take two days off? Because I've been updating only once a day for the past three months, the workload hasn't been that high, so I've sometimes been thinking while writing. It's okay, I won't be chasing subscriptions for the next book.

I know everyone has had a lot of complaints about me lately, because of the update frequency and quality issues. In June, I had some problems with my body and mind. More than a year of high-intensity writing completely wore me out. Writing Lingjing Xingzhe was even more tiring than Da Feng, because I had to constantly think about the plot. I tried to design different modes for each instance, not just entering the instance to fight monsters and level up. Then there were the various settings and foreshadowings in reality, a double pressure. In the first year, I still had some energy to spare, but later on, every time I opened the computer, I felt physically uncomfortable, mentally depressed and irritable every now and then. Sometimes I really couldn't think of anything. I'm not always in the mood, but I could only force myself to create. Prolonged high-intensity mental work will cause problems over time. Then there was my body: migraines, cervical spine issues, and a disrupted schedule leading to physical fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and a long-term lack of exercise causing my energy to decline and my immunity to weaken, resulting in severe sub-health. One day, while staying up all night writing, my mind suddenly went blank, I lost my will, and it took several seconds to recover. It scared me into a cold sweat. Then I started to slow down the updates and switched to updating only once a day. I've never talked about these things before, because I didn't think it was necessary. Readers and authors have different perspectives. Readers come to read books, and no matter what the reason, as long as the updates are bad, the readers will definitely be unhappy. No reason is valid. "I come here to find happiness, but before I even start, you're already failing. You haven't satisfied me, updating only once a day like you're giving alms to a beggar. Even if there are many reasons, my happiness is still halved, so of course I'm going to curse you." But from the author's point of view, my life is important. Otherwise, why would I be fighting against money? So I simply didn't explain, the updates were really bad, and it's normal to be scolded. In the past three months, I mostly played dead, and I never resisted or argued, right? Now that I've finally finished this volume, I feel very relaxed and can honestly talk to everyone. Three months of updating only once a day has improved my mental and physical health somewhat, at least I don't feel like I'm about to die at any moment like I did before. I won't say much more. I hope my physical and mental state can last until I successfully finish Lingjing Xingzhe. The average subscription is around 24,000, a slight increase. In any case, thank you all for your support. Thank you! 207
