My thoughts on the release of Chapter 83 (I am crying and begging you to pre-order it)! It will be on the shelves tomorrow at noon, that is, at 12 noon on the 10th. First of all, thank you all for your support, and I hope you will continue to support me. First subscription is a very important indicator to measure the performance of a new book, that is, the number of subscriptions within 24 hours after the first chapter is released. The higher the first order, the better the subsequent recommendations, so I beg you to offer your valuable subscription. We chose to put the product on the shelves at noon on Sunday because we take into account that there may be students among the readers who may have time to support the product during the holiday on Sunday, so the first order will be higher. The author just finished his thesis defense in June this year and graduated from university, which was less than three months ago. Although it is a first-rate book, what I majored in is mechanical design and manufacturing, which is a well-known pitfall. I have to go to work in a factory after graduation. In addition, the economy has been in recession in recent years, so I have to rely on new books. Therefore, the performance of this book is very important to me. The first thing I do every day when I wake up is to ask the editor to follow up on the number of readers. Every time I hear that the number of readers has dropped, I sit in front of the computer for an hour or two with a headache, wondering what went wrong. In addition, my last book was about survival in the wilderness, which I wrote during my junior and senior years of college, and this book is a fantasy novel, which is a completely unrelated transition. Fortunately, the performance of this book is much better than the previous one, at least it did not get cut off halfway after being recommended. There are many times when I try my best to modify the questions raised by readers, like the protagonist’s spear a few days ago. Because it was named Liquan, several comments said it was inappropriate. I changed it the same day, but this would be irresponsible to the readers who could accept it and had already read that chapter.
Explaining it in the main text would affect the reading experience, because many people don't know about it, and would be confused after it is explained. So I just mentioned it in the author's statement. To be honest, I'm quite embarrassed about it. I originally had twenty chapters saved before I started writing the book. In the first ten days, I was able to maintain a normal schedule, but the more I wrote, the more tired I became. Sometimes I would read a comment and think about it over and over again. It started out at 1 or 2 in the morning, but now it has to last until 3 or 4 in the morning. The number of chapters in my inventory has also been reduced from 20 to only 4. There are some things that I don’t want to explain. Old readers who are familiar with me will know that I am very rigorous about some information and references. For example, the price of fish at the beginning. Some people honestly said how could the price of fish be so cheap. In fact, it was so cheap. The price of one catty of fish was far less than that of one catty of rice. In many cases, it was calculated by the tail. Lu You in the Song Dynasty bought fish for two or three coins per tail. One hundred coins could buy enough fish to feed twenty strong men. Even more exaggerated, even a big fish cost less than one cent. When Cai Jing was demoted and returned home, he took the waterway and saw a small boat selling fish nearby. Fifteen fish cost only ten cents. For example, Chapter 54 says that Pingyang Town has a population of tens of thousands, comparable to that of an ordinary county town. Some people say that this is impossible and irrational. In ancient times, county towns only had a population of a few thousand, and those with tens of thousands were considered large county towns. It is impossible for a town with tens of thousands of people to be large. In ancient times, we also have to divide them into different dynasties. The Qin and Han, Tang and Song, Ming and Qing dynasties are completely different. In fact, there were many large towns with a population of tens of thousands during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are recorded in "Shenghu Chronicles" and "Jiangning County Chronicles". Towns with tens of thousands of households were everywhere. A household is a family unit, and a family must have at least 5 to 10 people for three generations. In ancient statistics, the average household was generally counted as six people. For example, Uncle Chen's family had six people. If the number was lower than this, it meant that the family structure in the area was not very good, and there might be war, banditry, or plague. Even the city has several thousand people, or even nearly ten thousand. Speaking of this city, it is also something I really want to complain about. Zengtou City in Water Margin should be considered very famous. Even if I have forgotten it (it is not a memorable point after all), I still wrote about it specifically in the article, but a lot of people still criticized me. Sometimes writing a book is really tiring. Even when the evidence is right in front of my eyes, I still refuse to believe it and say I’m writing nonsense. There is also the issue of pinyin. From fanqie, there are more than 400 upper qie initials and more than lower qie finals. Then there is Shou Wen's -alphabet alphabet in the Song Dynasty, which used more than Chinese characters to cover fanqie. It was invented by a monk alone and is already very close to the pinyin form. The only problem is that purely for phonetic notation, the pronunciation of Chinese characters will change and this system will become inapplicable. Then in the Yuan Dynasty, the Phags-pa script was adapted from the Tibetan script. It was purely expressed using another system. Both North Korea and Japan saw it and quickly copied it, but it was too exotic. It was not until Zhang Taiyan used abstract Chinese characters to mark the phonetic symbols of Mandarin that the protagonist did almost the same thing. The Thaiwan Province is still using it now. I have sorted out the entire development system, which is to summarize the rules and add alienated characters. It is not a difficult thing, but just a matter of thinking about and not thinking about it. Furthermore, there has actually never been a strict distinction between spears and halberds. They are more of customary names in different historical periods and regions. If you want to explain what a gun is, what a spear is, and what a halberd is, you can actually find counterexamples in ancient books.
Then why do I call it a gun? It's very simple. It doesn't feel wrong to call it a gun because the two give different visual effects. Not to mention that this is an imaginary world and dynasty, and it is fantasy. Even if it is unscientific, it’s okay. I’m just writing with real purposes in mind. After all, it has a basis in reality, and many things are not easy to collapse. For example, I have references for prices, from the price of cotton to pork and mutton. So here is a unified and simple explanation. Secondly, I would like to thank my editor Lan Guang, who always answers questions and replies to messages on Saturdays and Sundays. He is a very responsible editor. Finally, regarding the update, I will complete the update of the entire incident on the day of listing. Next, the protagonist will have nothing to do until the beginning of spring, during which time his strength will increase significantly. Ze Ling will turn into a blue marmoset, the eldest brother will send things back, the court will also give rewards, and the two beasts will evolve. These things are all from before Chapter 100. Then we will go to explore the underwater ancient battlefield, which is the real beginning of the exploration of the Jianghuai River, and will focus on underwater. As for Ze Ling, Wuzhiqi is still the main focus, so don't worry. Erlang Shen is a talent plug-in that helps the protagonist learn things. After all, it takes at least half a year or a year to master a fighting style. I think the progress should be accelerated. If Erye wants to appear again, it will probably be when he fights the dragon in the future. Regarding additional updates, I will try my best to update as much as possible in September, and ensure that there are more than 6,000 words every day. I cannot guarantee more things for the time being, but I will definitely try my best. Finally, I’ll make one final sacrifice and turn all of it into the power of my destiny.
