Two thousand first subscriptions!

The best result I’ve had since I started writing,

Thank you all for your support!

For a niche paranormal novel to achieve this result, I, Long, am already proud enough.

Our first subscription has already broken the original highest record for first subscriptions in the paranormal genre by five times,

Five times!

Here, I want to thank the older brothers and predecessors in the industry who encouraged me in the beginning, thank Brother Bu Zheng, Brother Zhouzi, Brother Xiao Qi Naiqi, Lady Xuan Shui, and other older brothers, who gave me comfort or actively recommended my chapters when I was most confused.

In fact, I didn’t know or was familiar with many of the older brothers and predecessors who came to encourage me, and I hadn’t contacted them before.

Therefore, adding flowers to brocade is easy, but I, Xiao Long, will never forget the kindness of offering charcoal in the snow.

I also want to thank Brother Yi Suo, the editor-in-chief of the paranormal genre, and Sister Zhu Sha and Brother Ziliang, the editors.

I remember the last time I fell was before the New Year.

I had originally discussed with the paranormal editors that I would release a new book after the New Year, but I changed my mind without permission.

Without a book in hand, I felt panicked, as if life had lost its goal. I couldn’t do nothing but browse the book review section, couldn’t look at the chapter comments, I felt very confused and uneasy.

Then I called the editor and said I wanted to publish a book.

At that time, the editors were already at the airport preparing to go home for the New Year holiday. They called and made new arrangements for me, which almost delayed their trip. In the end, I was able to publish the book before the New Year.

At that time, I made a promise: let me publish the book, I can't guarantee anything else, the only thing I can guarantee is that no matter how unpopular the paranormal category was before, I can guarantee that the first subscription for my new book will be ten thousand!

As a die-hard otaku, the Fatty Dragon in the readers’ mouths,

Honestly,

This fatso, besides writing books and writing stories, really has no other special skills.

Thank you to the old readers for your continued companionship, and thank you to the new readers for joining and supporting me.

I fell once two months ago. This time, I climbed up again, and the height I stood at was twice as high as last time.

This is everyone's love for me,

I can only repay everyone with better stories.

Many people ask me if I will compete for the monthly ticket chart.

To be honest, I, Long, can't compete anymore. Since the later stages of *Terror Broadcast*, my spirit has been very tired, and some problems have vaguely appeared in my body. Then, in the past few months, there have been many things and many twists and turns. The two new book periods are no less than two college entrance examinations.

After dealing with the things these few days after the book goes on sale, I will have to go to the hospital.

I’m tired, really a little tired. During the new book period of *Late Night Bookstore*, I sat in a chair with back pain and suddenly had nosebleeds more than once.

This body is not made of iron after all.

However, what I thought at the time was that even if I died and lay in a coffin, I would have to knock on the coffin lid a few times and shout:

"Tell me the results of the first subscription after it's on sale, otherwise I won't rest in peace."

In the first two chapters before the book went on sale, some readers may have felt that the style was a bit different from before. In fact, that was my own venting.

I had held my breath for two months, and at that moment, I vented and released it,

It was uncomfortable not to vent it!

I also know that many old readers, like me, also need to vent.

Saying this is not to sell misery, so as to better exert effort in competing for the monthly ticket chart.

What I want to say is, I don’t plan to compete for the monthly ticket chart.

The time when I really made the most progress was during the writing of *Terror Broadcast*. I focused on writing good chapters every day, and then released them. Throughout the whole year, I didn’t compete for any charts, nor did I send out any single chapters. I just focused on thinking about how to write stories, how to improve my writing skills, and then I wrote Uncle Fugui.

Writing a book is like "life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven."

In fact, sometimes I even hesitate to post words at the end of the chapter, for fear of affecting everyone's reading experience.

*Late Night Bookstore*,

The title has already determined the tone of the book.

This is a bookstore that opens late at night,

It is a story that happens in the quiet of the night.

"Assume it's true, as I have heard."

The stories told in the book are also things I, Long, have heard from others. I'll tell them to you in a different way. Don't take them seriously. Just listen to them casually, just as a pastime, a way to relieve boredom.

So, we should try not to break this atmosphere.

I am also unwilling to let my mentality become unbalanced in order to compete for the charts, or to write the rhythm and story poorly in order to update more frequently.

I will still ask for monthly tickets when I should. If you have monthly tickets, please give them to me, such as the "new book" monthly ticket chart this month. We are determined to win the first place.

As for the others, such as competing for the total chart, let everyone do it spontaneously. If you have tickets, just give them to me. If you enjoy reading it, give me a reward.

One cent or one yuan is also love,

A helm master or alliance master is also affection,

Of course, the more the better.

After that,

I plan to shut myself up, ignore everything, and just write stories in peace, and everyone can just read the stories in peace.

May the years be peaceful,

May the bookstore’s results get better and better,

Finally,

I wish everyone a good health.
