Health Update

Thank you for your concern. The current situation is as follows:

The captain's gastroenteritis was almost cured, but he had an eye problem.

I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said it was severe dry eye syndrome, corneal spots, and something like meibomian gland absence.

In short: You should spend less time on your phone and computer, and cry more.

Playing less on the computer and phone is fine, but why cry so much?

Then I underwent a course of treatments, including intense pulsed light injections into my eyelids, using tweezers to clamp my eyelid glands, ultrasonic atomization, and so on.

In summary, my feelings can be summed up in two words: uncomfortable.

One course of treatment requires six sessions. One session has already been completed.

The doctor advised him to reduce his phone and computer use, so the captain now goes to bed before 10 p. m. every day and gets up around 7 or 8 a. m. to go for a run.

I used to smoke more than two packs of cigarettes a day. After getting sick, I quit for three days, but I still couldn't resist. But I'm a little better now. If I don't write, I can't even finish a pack in two days.

The current status is that the character has been revived with half health.

I can manage to write, albeit slowly, and my eyes twitch every now and then when I try to concentrate.

Once, friend A asked me why I was winking at him. Friend B said, "What's with that squinty-eyed look? You've never been like this before."

The captain could only smile and remain speechless.

Recently, many friends have expressed concern, and some readers have left messages worried that I might die, wanting to lend me some of my lifespan, with one request being for ten years.

Dude, are you really borrowing or just pretending? If you really borrow, I'll set up a Seven Star Lamp! (laughs)

I was also touched by the Get Rich Gu and Brother Light Smile. Saint Immortal, Admiration Immortal Qitian Dian, Du Yun, Clear Skies, and Qian Sui all sent their greetings... I was truly moved by everyone's concern.

I wish I could open my eyes and start writing 100,000 words!

Ahem, let's get down to business.

Expected update time: It should be after the New Year. However, the good news is that the captain has some manuscripts saved up. If he updates, he can update several chapters in a row, directly ending the Primordial Convention and the apprenticeship, and starting the next volume, "The Life and Death Dao Domain".

Then there's the total number of volumes. The captain has been reviewing it these past few days and sorting out the outline. We're currently at the end of the tenth volume, and it's expected that we'll write at least twenty volumes.

"The Life and Death Dao Domain", "The Ancient Hill of Antiquity", "The Scholar Divine Descent", "The Master of Cold Food Festival", "The Time Divine Tree", and so on.

The Agricultural Official system is not yet finished; in short, there is still 25 years to go before it is finished.

The captain knew that such a long hiatus would definitely cause him to lose many readers. However, he has become much more relaxed about it now.

Completion is more important than perfection. No matter how much my income plummets, I will finish writing it, and once I resume updates, I will try my best to write 10,000 words a day to make up for it.

As stated when it was released, attitude is very important, so there's no need to worry that "Shennong" will become a "once-in-a-lifetime" series.

It won't be a long and tedious story either; if there's nothing new to write about, the captain will decisively end it.

During these days of rest and recuperation, I have many feelings. I even thought about death for two days when I was in excruciating pain.

People really need to be healthy, otherwise no matter how much money they earn, it's useless.

Enough with the small talk.

Wishing all the Agricultural Official and their families good health, peace, and prosperity.
