Launch Announcement

First, as is customary, I'd like to express my gratitude to editor Dan Qing, fellow readers, the various book list administrators, and everyone I can thank. This useless pigeon, Xu Ming, has finally reached the day of its official release.

Let's talk about some things about Xu Ming, which can also be seen as Xu Ming playing the victim.

Why did I start writing novels? A little over a year ago, I was lying on my bed in the factory dormitory. My roommate was diligently learning programming next to me, while I lay there like a useless person, not knowing what to do.

Xu Ming has many flaws: he's Sloth, lacks confidence, has no opinions of his own, is straightforward, and sometimes acts without thinking. I myself think I'm pretty useless, which is why I jokingly call myself a useless pigeon.

At that time, I thought I couldn't continue like this. I had to do something. I, this Salted Fish, wanted to turn things around. I, this useless pigeon, wanted to fly. So, while working, I started writing a novel in my spare time. As expected, Xu Ming's first novel flopped. It wasn't signed and completed. Now it's even 404.

At the time, I never even considered stopping writing. I immediately started a new book, "Old Days," which was my first contract, my first recommendation, and my first book to be published. During this time, I also quit my job because I wanted to write novels full-time.

My family has mixed feelings about me. My brother said, "You have to let me try. If I don't try, I'll never be satisfied. "Xu Ming know that I'm actually not very confident because I've failed too many times. I crave recognition and I long to succeed this time.

Someone in the book review section said that the author, Xu Ming, is very free and replies to almost every comment. I replied that he cares about the opinions of every reader. Since I started writing "Old Days," the thing I do most often is take out my phone, open the author assistant, and look through every recommendation vote that everyone has cast. Then I open the app to read the chapter comments and the notes, and then I check my favorites.

I would refresh the page like this about every hour, because every book's collection, every recommendation, and every reward from fellow readers is an affirmation of Xu Ming. Every time I see someone say that my writing is good and that they support me, I can feel that I am not so useless.

So please, everyone, support Xu Ming! This useless pigeon really wants to fly once. For those who read pirated versions and follow the story, if you can, please support Xu Ming on Qidian. Students who can't afford it won't be forced to wait for Xu Ming, after all, Xu Ming went through the same thing. I hope you will enjoy the story Xu Ming brings you.

Let me talk about the updates these past few days. There are two free chapters today, and I guarantee at least 5 chapters tomorrow, and at least 3 chapters for the next two days. Bonus chapters for donations will follow the old rules: one chapter for every Xu Ming donations. Of course, I don't have many chapters saved up, so I might have to postpone the bonus chapters for now, but Xu Ming I will definitely pay them back.

Another point concerns the evolution of Xu Ming's Second Watch Beast. If the subscription reaches 1200, Xu Ming will evolve into the Third Watch Beast. If the subscription reaches 2000, Xu Ming will evolve into the Fourth Watch Beast. As for the Fifth Watch Beast, that is the ultimate evolution, but Xu Ming currently does not have enough energy, so let's leave it for later.

That's all Xu Ming wanted to say. Below are some book recommendations that Xu Ming promised to make; feel free to check them out if you're interested:

First, I recommend Mu Mu's junior brother's <The Gate of Silver>: a tribute to Gun Kai's work, an absurd and bizarre world, author: Mu Mengsheng. I only found out when I chatted with him in a fantasy author group that he was actually my junior brother from the same university, and also a cross-dressing master. Eh, why did I say "also"?

Then there's <The Ghost Blind Date Game>: Author: Yunyi Houzhu, a hilarious supernatural work, the unique imagination of which shocked Xu Ming. Also, the author is a beautiful older sister.

<Otherworld Reform Manual> by Correction Pen, an otherworld farming novel, featuring crossed scimitars and pickaxes, and red flags fluttering in another world—a truly impressive book.

Finally, there's an urban novel called "Wedding Master" by Manman V. If you enjoy urban novels, you might want to give it a try.
