The battle for monthly tickets in March has finally come to an end. A sixth-place finish was what I fought for with thirty-one days of non-stop updates—I wrote nearly 400,000 words this month, at least 12,000 words a day, writing and writing non-stop. In the last two days, my shoulders and cervical spine finally couldn't take it anymore, and the pain was unbearable.

But looking at the ranking on the monthly ticket chart, and the more than 4,000 warm monthly tickets, I am still very proud.

Yes, very proud!

Which book in the top ten of the monthly ticket chart has the lowest 24-hour subscription? *Zone of Champions*! Which book has the lowest average and high subscriptions? *Zone of Champions*! Which book has the fewest clicks? *Zone of Champions*! Which book has the fewest recommendation votes? *Zone of Champions*! Which book has the fewest readers? *Zone of Champions*! Which book has the fewest alliance leaders? *Zone of Champions*!

But we are in the top six overall! This is the best result I have ever achieved on the monthly ticket chart since I started writing!

A book with an average subscription of 5,000, a high subscription of just over 8,000, only 28,000 readers, and a mere six alliance leaders… such a book that others consider a flop, went against the current, gritted its teeth, and stubbornly stood in sixth place.

For other great authors, this may not be a result worth showing off and being proud of, and may even be considered a failure.

But please allow me to show off and be proud once today. Because for me, for all of you… these were truly amazing thirty-one days!

We created an awesome result with the lowest-tier data in the top ten. It's like a poor team whose annual budget is less than the annual salary of one of the opponent’s star players, but still manages to be in the top six of the league and qualify for European competitions.

At this moment, we are equal to those big teams and great authors.

Football is a grassroots sport, and our competitive sports genre can also be regarded as a grassroots genre at Qidian. But throughout March, I and everyone else created a legend that belongs to the grassroots!

The top six overall is not the highest ranking for competitive sports novels on Qidian's monthly ticket chart. The highest ranking was fourth, created by Yu Yu Linzhongshu in 2005, but at that time, the number of monthly tickets for the first place on the overall list was only over 1,000. Nowadays, it is very easy for the first place on the monthly ticket chart to get over 10,000 tickets, and the difficulty of getting on the list is no longer the same. Moreover, that was the golden age of competitive sports themes at Qidian, but what about now?

That's why I'm so excited.

We have proven with practical actions and passion that niche themes at Qidian can also have their spring!

Thank you all. I desperately updated, and you desperately voted for me. We only have six alliance leaders, so it can be said that these 4,000+ tickets were all earned by everyone, one vote at a time, rather than by a landlord throwing money around. So I am especially proud that we have proven ourselves with meager strength and childlike enthusiasm!

Thank you all!

Really, I don't know what else to say besides thank you.

The new month is coming soon. I don't know if I can continue to update like crazy. To be honest, updating like this in March was really tiring. I will try my best to update more and strive to make everyone enjoy reading it.

But if I update like I did in March, I'm afraid I'll be a little overwhelmed. Therefore, these days of four updates in a row will not last too long. I need to adjust, rest, and calm down to think about how the plot will develop later.

But what I can guarantee is that as long as there are enough manuscripts, I will try my best to update like crazy.

I believe that after these few months, everyone should have a good understanding of my promise and character, right?

March 19th was the ninth anniversary of my entry into this industry. Unconsciously, I have been in this industry for nine years, and I will continue to do so. I don’t know how many people who entered this industry with me nine years ago are still left. I am very fortunate that I am always here, because I have you by my side.

Isn't the whole existence value of us writers to write books that make you happy? Without you, I would be nothing.

My talent is not as good as others, and my ability is not as good as others. I think the only thing that makes me somewhat proud is my diligence. Since entering the industry, I have persisted in writing until today, for nine years. Since I started writing *Champion Godfather*, I have never stopped updating, except for the new book preparation period and the days of the earthquake. This makes me particularly proud.

Next year at this time will be the tenth anniversary of my entry into this industry. Ten years is not long or short. Although many stories have happened in the middle, and I have encountered many difficulties. But I persisted.

I don't know how long I can continue to write, but in the days when I can still write, I hope to always accompany everyone like this.

It's great to have you along the way.

Thank you for the gift you gave me on the ninth anniversary of my entry into this industry, sixth place in monthly tickets. I accept this kindness and will repay you with more enthusiasm. I hope you don't find me annoying, and don't find me long-winded.

Thank you all again.

Finally, let's continue to keep *Zone of Champions* in the top ten of the monthly ticket chart in April.

There are not many people writing competitive sports novels now. All I can do is let everyone at Qidian see that competitive sports are not dead at Qidian!

ps, This testimonial was originally supposed to be posted in the morning, but there was a power outage in the morning, so it could only be updated at this time.

I hope it's not too late?

Also asking for guaranteed monthly tickets. A new month has begun, and a new battle has also begun!

Everyone, vote for monthly tickets!
