Last month, a bastard…

Actually said something in the monthly preview about… playing a game with the readers, and then he screwed it up.

The fact that the monthly ticket chart ended up in first place can be blamed on that bastard, but those bastards who cast the monthly tickets are also partly to blame.

Alright, I'll stop talking in the third person, in case people think I'm schizophrenic and try to catch me.

Anyway… now that things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on it, you have to look forward. I hope everyone can be a little calmer this month, and rationally… give their monthly tickets to other authors.

As for me… as a man who "can do anything I set my mind to," I will naturally do my best to achieve the goal of perfect attendance.

The game I played with you last month is still valid this month. Could it be… that you can let me lose every month?

I feel like something's not quite right with that last sentence…

Well… never mind, let's talk about this month's matters.

As predicted last month, the story of s2 was completed at the end of the month (11:48 p.m. on January 31), right on time.

Starting this month, *Thriller Paradise* will officially enter the final major phase of the story… the proportion of real-world plots will increase, and the mysteries of the "Candidate Game" and "Feng Bujue's identity" will gradually be revealed.

As for the specific plot—I haven't thought it through yet.

In addition, I have to hand in the extra chapters of the physical book of *Vending Crime* and the manuscript of *Second-Rate Detective and Cat* in the first half of this month. Under the pressure of full attendance, I feel it's still very~ difficult to complete, so I have to work hard.

Speaking of which… this year is a leap year, damn it. How immoral, adding this day to February, why not add it to the endless August, so we can start school later.

Of course, everyone doesn't need to worry too much about me. The website has a leave mechanism now, I can buy two leaves and take two days off.

Okay… having said this, it feels like it's about time.

Finally, I sincerely wish everyone a happy and fulfilling New Year.

As for me… don't look at me like this, my goal this year is to save money to buy a house, so I have to work harder than ever.

It's okay if I work harder.

See you next month.
