The end. This is the third time. I turn my head, and six years have already passed. I've written three books... Well, not bad!

Regarding the ending, I've heard many friends say it's a rushed ending or something, ha, I won't admit it. I've always felt that I'm a blockhead at writing beginnings, but a dab hand at writing endings. Whether it was *Du Chuang*, *Xing Zhao*, or the newly finished *Close Combat Mage*, I think the endings are peak performance, able to make up for the regrets in the book, hahaha.

Speaking of regrets, what are the regrets of this book, *Close Combat Mage*... Well, probably that there are no regrets. If a book of nearly four million words still leaves regrets, then I'd be doing myself a disservice.

Some people say this book has no main storyline. That view lacks depth. Actually, this book is about a story of perseverance, ahem.

I believe everyone can count the representative figures: the protagonist Gu Fei, the opposing Ye Xiaowu, and the female lead Xi Xiaotian.

I wonder if everyone can perceive their special nature in the text? Three characters who appeared very early, and three characters with real names.

Even other characters with more scenes don't get this treatment, just because they are symbols of the book's theme, sublimation of the content, representatives of sentiment, and the limit of forced coolness.

The three each have their own persistence, but they are also different. Gu Fei pursues the process, Ye Xiaowu wants the result, and Xi Xiaotian needs, perhaps, the recognition of others. Perhaps you can't feel the above while reading the book. That, uh, is probably because my level isn't high enough, I can't write it out.

In addition to the above three, other characters also have such characteristics to some extent. Everyone has their own life day after day. Jian Gui is as always upright, selfless, and narcissistic, Han Family Young Master is as always drinking, narcissistic, and foul-mouthed, Yu Tian Shen Ming is as always hating Drifting and getting lost, You-ge is as always loving life and gossip, and Zhan Wu Shang is as always a perverted uncle.

The girls of Rebirth Zijing.

The Drifting trio.

The hunters who are eternally in the flower bushes.

Shui Shen and Lu Ke.

Jian Nan You's Seven.

And the presidents of the major guilds, the merchants of the studios.

Although everyone will no longer see them, they have already seen their persistence. The days ahead will be the same. They will all continue to move forward as always, so this story ends here. There is no need to rebroadcast it.

Next should be each of our own persistence, for example, Hu Die must persevere in starting to write the fourth book.

This one is still a game, but it is very different from *Du Chuang* and *Close Combat Mage*.

The protagonist in this one will no longer be a carefree player like Feng Xiaoxiao or Gu Fei, who spends time playing games. This time, he has a pursuit and a dream for the game. Many of his things are carried on the game... That's right, he is the legendary—professional player.

So, the new book has a main storyline, just like the second book, *Xing Zhao*, with clear planning and intentions, and of course, a beginning that may once again be criticized by everyone... This is really a lingering shadow for me. Thinking back to those years of *Du Chuang*, the beginning was bad, I changed it, and everyone said: it's even worse. Thinking back to those years of *Xing Zhao*, the beginning was bad, I changed it, and everyone said: it's even worse.

Then in *Close Combat Mage*, I thought I didn't change the beginning this time, but when I opened the new book, I suddenly found in the document that, including the main text, *Close Combat Mage* originally had four beginnings! Damn, I have already developed amnesia specifically for beginnings.

The beginning of the new book has actually been changed many times... I think my final destination will probably be dying on the beginning.

Okay, apart from the beginning, the setting of the new book in terms of games is more professional than *Du Chuang* and *Close Combat Mage*. In fact, a good design system is more conducive to writing stories. The settings of *Du Chuang* and *Close Combat Mage* are basically crap. This time, well, it's not that I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and learned how to do settings, it's just that I borrowed the professional and skill framework of the online game *DNF* and fabricated it.

Readers who have played *DNF* may see familiar things, but don't treat this as *DNF*, otherwise don't blame me if you get tangled up.

Okay, the new book is *Quan Zhi Gao Shou* (Full-Time Expert), book number 1887208.

Clicks, recommendations, and collections are all very important during the new book period. Don't be lazy, please help vote every day, thank you~
