Spirit Realm's first E Alliance had been born—and it was also the first E Alliance of my writing career. Thank you, "Digital E Alliance Vegetable Patriarch."
Vegetable Patriarch was the GOAT.
Because of some unpleasant events, I had originally planned to be a lone warrior on the road to competing for the rankings this month.
At the end of May, I told Boss Vegetable, "The new book's performance has stabilized. I want to compete for the rankings." Boss Vegetable said, "Alright, I'll back you next month!"
So at the start of June, I eagerly posted a standalone chapter about competing for the rankings. Before I could even take off, Boss Vegetable had flown off first.
I thought, Huh? Where's my patron? Where's my huge patron? What the hell is this string of numbers?
Only after asking did I learn that he had been hit by a dimensionality-reduction strike. I hurried to find Boss Vegetable and said, "Big boss, let's keep our heads steady. Competing for the rankings is what matters."
He said, "Competing for the rankings? Hundred-million Alliance—bam, gone!"
Then my mentality exploded too. (Dog head.)
It was simply outrageous. I was furious at the time. I thought, The guy spent several million, and then bam, he became a numerical ID. If it were me, my mentality would explode too.
But as an author, it was hard to voice the resentment in my heart. I could only cry into my pillow late at night. Then today, Boss Vegetable suddenly told me he wanted to give me an E Alliance. Though he said he was clearing his balance, I knew that Boss Vegetable remembered the promise he'd made to me last month.
Otherwise, when he was so incredibly pissed off, he definitely wouldn't have given such a large reward—at least not
