A Word Before Going Premium (Seeking First Subscription!)

Good day, this is Yu Lu, you can call me Xiao Lu!

Thank you all for coming to listen to Yu Lu ramble for a bit,▄█▀█● I bow 180 degrees to you!

I've been writing for over a month now, 210,000 characters, and it's time to go on the shelves.

21, the number that loves you.

Tomorrow at noon, a guaranteed 10,000-character update, no upper limit, be there or be square.

If there are any rewards from Alliance Leaders or Helmsmen, there will be bonus updates? But I feel like I don't even need to say this here hahaha, anyone who supports with a subscription is the cutest person!

-- Honestly, I'm quite nervous, I don't know how many readers will stick around in the end.

I've been suffering from insomnia lately, and when I can't sleep, I just keep adding updates, which is why there's this bizarre phenomenon of suddenly adding updates before going on the shelves. Most of my peers have already gone on the shelves.

The book says, life is like a train, some people always get on, and some people always get off.

It's a coincidence that I'm traveling with you for a while, and I'm extremely grateful.

If this train brings you some happiness and a different view, it is Yu Lu's honor.

...But, Yu Lu wants to be a little more greedy, wanting to hold on to anyone I catch.

What I mean is:

-- Now, can I invite you to start a new journey with Yu Lu?

The new world after going on the shelves, do you want to go see it together?

There's a lot I want to say, but when I actually start writing, I forget.

There's too much I could use to garner sympathy, and too much makes me not want to say it...

It's all just hardship (sighs).

So, I'll simply give you an overview of this book.

The outline for this book is very long, and I've already written tens of thousands of words for the materials and volume outlines.

What's unfolding now might not even be the prelude.

So, I will absolutely not abandon the book, even if the results are poor, I can still write it to one or two million characters, with no upper limit.

Actually, before starting this book, Yu Lu had many other ideas for themes, each of which could have made the beginning easier and the reading threshold lower.

But in the end, I wrote this story, which is the most difficult and the most "simple," not flashy enough.

Because I just wanted to write it.

To write a modern-day Don Quixote? A story of an ordinary person who is not ordinary.

-- Because Yu Lu is an ordinary person himself.

As ordinary as can be, yet with many strange fantasies.

I remember in my third year of high school, the pressure was immense. Every night before bed, I would clear my mind and seriously think about what I would do if I were reborn, how I would show off and change my family's life.

Even when riding a scooter, I would imagine myself rushing against the crowd towards monsters; as soon as I got a tree branch, I would feel like a knight.

I wished someone would suddenly break into the classroom during class and shout at me, "Are you still going to deceive yourself and remain an ordinary person? But this world needs you, come with us quickly!"

I wished for a girl only I could see, and then, despite my words, I would follow her to the ends of the earth.

I wanted to wear a blanket and ride a broom to the magic kingdom for winter, and I wanted to drive a steam train for a spring picnic.

Those dreams about youth and adventure, the focus of the story was never on how I would save the world, but on the gazes others cast upon me at that moment--

It must be so cool!

--But when was the last time I had these dreams?

It seems like a long time ago.

Until today, Yu Lu picked them up again and put them into Bai Zhou.

--Let Bai Zhou spread his wings, ride a little horse, and fly for me.

Perhaps some friends know, the experience of this book since its inception cannot be called smooth; it can only be called a string of bad luck, to an unbelievable degree.

It's all thanks to everyone's support, and your activity, that Yu Lu has reached San Jiang and come this far.

Here, I would also like to specifically thank editors Bei He and Chen Xiang.

The two editors, especially Brother Bei He, have provided a lot of valuable advice since before the book started, and I have benefited greatly.

Thanks to many author friends who provided valuable improvement suggestions; I rewrote the beginning seven or eight times alone.

Here, I would also like to thank the friends who provided tail recommendations for Yu Lu:

My Settings Are Above Yours! Dong Shan Yu Yu

Rekindle Youthful Times Mi Zhi Ji

Wasteland Border Prosecutor Jin Jin Jin

Once There Was a Gluttonous Snake A Bowl of Du Kang

Cosmic Level Demon God Bai Te Man A

--Of course, I'm most grateful to all of you for meeting Yu Lu!

Even with a late start, we reached 11th place on the new book charts in one week, and 335th on the monthly ticket charts before going on sale...

It's all thanks to you, the fans, who personally pushed Yu Lu this far.

You are all amazing!

So, here's a greedy request:

Please continue to walk with Yu Lu!

Bowing 180 degrees again!

Ding dong--

Here's an invitation to a new world, will you accept it?

A, Accept

B, Joyfully Accept

I want that Bai Zhou riding a little horse to fly even higher, to be seen by more people.

To gather a group of people who like each other through a story, this must be a truly romantic thing.

And coincidentally, Yu Lu loves writing books the most.

Regarding tomorrow's first subscription, although I'm prepared for utter defeat, I still hold onto the hope of soaring high one day and pursuing my ideals.

For someone like Yu Lu, walking on thin ice, how far can I go?

Tomorrow's first subscription is truly crucial, I beg for your support!

I implore you all!

I implore you all!

I implore you all!

At this moment of life or death, Yu Lu entrusts his fate--

to you all.

--Of course, Yu Lu will never betray your trust, I will never write filler or delay updates!

Even if I have to chew coffee beans raw every day, I will ensure quality and explosive updates!

Yu Lu wants to become everyone's writing machine!

I'll keep my word, pinky promise.

See you tomorrow, I love you all.

Sincerely, Regards.

--Nanshan Yu Lu.
