I secretly updated twice. Don't be surprised or caught off guard, handsome readers. The truth is, today might be the day my brain has been the clearest in the past two months.

As everyone knows, this book successfully obtained the Ten Thousand Subscription Badge two days ago, meaning our average subscriptions have successfully exceeded ten thousand.

Originally, at this joyous time, Qiao, as the author, should have exploded a bit...

After all, no author would refuse money.

But here, Qiao must tell everyone a cruel reality, which is, I don't know how many readers will be willing to follow me and tolerate me after this book is finished. However, it seems likely that this book may become my final masterpiece as an author, my swan song.

So, some readers who complained that they wouldn't follow my next book can save their breath, because you only have to tolerate this one, because Qiao probably won't have another book.

Unless my body miraculously recovers.

Many old readers who followed me from my previous book know that Qiao has gout, kidney stones, gallstones, and various other ailments. But this time, frankly, compared to yesterday's physical examination report, these minor illnesses are nothing.

Well... readers who don't like authors selling misery can skip this part. Although this isn't really selling misery, it's just telling you about my physical condition.

In short, Qiao's current situation is that, due to some reasons you all know, I've gained weight rapidly in just a few months, soaring to 190 jin (95kg), and the negative effects this has brought are something Qiao never expected.

First, because my limbs are relatively thin, the fat has mainly accumulated in my abdomen.

Then, because of my weight and various high levels, it's now very difficult for Qiao to stay awake for long periods. I'm prone to sudden fainting and sudden, explosive headaches.

Secondly, something even more frightening than my high blood sugar is that my arm and leg muscles have started to atrophy.

And as you know, I'm an author who's afraid of death, so I really don't want to die, and I really don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

Finally, in my current state, to be honest, with 16 seasons left in Su Feng's career, I dare not make any more fLgAs (flags/promises). Therefore, while ensuring quality and story integrity, as long as I can stay awake, I'll secretly add more updates to make up for previous missed updates or anything else.

However, if my body doesn't allow it, honestly, even if you held a knife to my throat and told me there was money ahead, I probably couldn't pick it up.

Because the money I've earned from writing these two books really isn't enough for my medical expenses anymore...

Not to mention leaving something for my parents before I accidentally kick the bucket one day.

Therefore, thank you for the support of all the handsome readers. It's you who have lifted this book to a height it doesn't deserve.

Is this the 500th-something ten thousand subscription book in the history of Qidian? It's also the only sports novel to enter the ten thousand subscription club while being serialized. In addition, it's the first basketball novel with ten thousand subscriptions, and the second sports novel in history with ten thousand subscriptions.

Therefore, to repay everyone's support, no matter what the future holds, no matter what lies ahead, the only guarantee Qiao can make is that I will slowly finish writing this book, and write it with all my heart.

And this can be considered the last gift I give myself, right?

At least, in the future, when someone mentions sports novels, this book can be brought out to brag about.

Next, Qiao will actively cooperate with treatment and strive to recover as soon as possible. As for a miraculous recovery, to be honest...

I'd better take advantage of my clearheadedness to type a few more words!

Love you all!

Thank you for your support!
