January 31, 2021 Patch Update, Character Card, and Monthly Summary
I apologize to everyone first.
I had to go out urgently today.
I got back late.
Only one chapter was updated.
I wonder if any of you predicted this move.
Next up is this month's patch.
"1. In chapter 099, the description of the feat 'Copper Skin Iron Bones' given by the Despicable Disciple Mashu has been changed to 'Your modified Defense Value increases by 8 points.' Since the editing function for this chapter has been locked, I can only inform everyone here. I will see if I can get it changed by the editor later."
"2. In version 195, there was a bug regarding the number of Contract Master servants. Treasure Chest Monster were not included in the total number of servants. Therefore, the number of Contract Orb that increase Contract Points had to be changed to 11. As above, this feature is also locked."
No others have been discovered yet.
Everyone is welcome to point out any bugs.
Next are the character cards.
This is actually a bit of a headache.
This month I've been streamlining the character cards again and again.
The complete character card (up to 214) has more than 7,000 words.
Here I am providing a simplified version.
The full version is categorized as 'Basic Modules'.
If you're not interested, please skip the character cards and go directly to the final monthly summary.

Regarding character cards.
I plan to make a table version after the New Year.
But it might also be part of the Cummins series.
In addition.
The map of the sea is still in the works.
My main reason is that I want to use the mainland framework diagram.
However, it is too complicated to operate.
If all else fails, let's stick with the previous diagram.
As for the launch time.
Of course, it's still Kang Mingsong.
Finally, it's time for the monthly summary.
This month has been quite tough.
I spent the last two weeks trying to expel the stones.
That process...
It's a long story.
Thankfully, I managed to hold on and only took one day off. For the next Celestial Capital endured the unspeakable pain while writing.
I really admire myself.
The good news is...
It appears that the kidney stones were successfully expelled yesterday morning.
There shouldn't be similar pain in the short term.
The bad news is...
There are still no drafts saved.
My biggest wish in February 2021 was to have a draft, even just one chapter.
Author back-end statistics.
209,000 words were updated in January.
It includes the full text of Volume 9 and most of the content of Volume 10.
This is a bit exaggerated compared to last month's 3.5 volumes.
One reason is the need for the plot.
Both of these are large volumes.
Volume 9 introduces the henchmen of an important villain from the early stages...
Volume 10 even changed the map entirely.
It is necessary to emphasize this point.
Another reason is that I started to slow down and expand.
From the day this book was published.
I was writing in a very hurry.
I'm often really afraid that my brothers won't have the patience to keep watching.
Therefore, the plots, settings, and materials that we painstakingly conceived were used once and then immediately discarded.
Then quickly move on to the next wave.
They dared not stop for even a moment.
They dared not slow down for even a moment.
Often, the setting isn't updated; the story just unfolds directly.
This has always been a potential problem.
So starting this month.
I slowed down the pace slightly and started trying to add supplementary setting information in the main text using the chapter title.
So far, the results seem to be okay.
The following writing rhythm will be roughly like this.
But I won't stay the same.
I'll speed up when I need to, and slow down when I need to.
Young people only know how to accelerate.
Only Old Driver know this.
Variable speed is the ultimate magic.
If one of my brothers suddenly throws a back injury someday...
I am willing to take full responsibility.
I won't go into the rest.
As usual, please subscribe.
At once.
We really need everyone's subscriptions.
Current word count: 670,000 words
"2.33 million words and 332 days remain until the end of this book."
I'm asking for your guaranteed monthly votes for February.
I haven't made any recommendations in over a month.
Exposure depends entirely on the monthly ticket ranking.
Thank you everyone.
Bow.
Exposing chest hair.
