The book was about to go premium.

A combined total of 100,000 book coins in tips from all readers in one day earns three bonus chapters, with no upper limit!
(After noon tomorrow, the bonus chapter rules will switch to cumulative tips from individual readers.)

A Silver Alliance tip (one million book coins) earns thirty bonus chapters, with no upper limit!
A Gold Alliance tip (ten million book coins) earns three hundred bonus chapters!
