Back home, I spent more than half an hour updating the chapters I owed, then I highlighted posts in the book review section and opened QQ to check out the reactions in various book fan groups. Then I received a message from the editor:

"The results are great, you can rest assured."

Do you know, when I saw this sentence, I was actually skeptical. My reply was: "Really? The monthly votes are inflated."

Yes, that's my true feeling.

The subscriptions for Champion's Legend were really, really bad. It's not like they only got bad after going to Hoffenheim, they were bad from the first chapter that was put on the shelves in the first volume. I still remember that the first chapter put on the shelves had 900 subscriptions in twenty-four hours...

For me, for Lin Hai Tingtao, who is known as the "No. 1 Competitive Writer on Qidian," this was a very bleak result. At that time, I was lost, very lost, and very lost.

But today, the editor showed me a screenshot. The first chapter on the shelves—Chapter 81—had 2500+ subscriptions in twenty hours!

Do you know? My back instantly broke out in a layer of sweat—this is excitement!

I don't know how many twenty-four-hour subscriptions we have for We Are Champions, but I don't think Champion Godfather had this many twenty-four-hour subscriptions.

So it can be said that this is the book with the highest twenty-four-hour subscription I've ever consciously written. Although it's just the beginning, I'm really excited... so excited I don't know what to say.

I just want to come up and share this news with you—with our—yes, with our—joint efforts, this book has already reached 2500+ subscriptions in less than twenty-four hours!

Thank you!

Thank you for your crazy voting, even though this will drastically reduce my manuscripts.

Thank you to those friends who can't vote but can only subscribe! These 2500+ are made up of each and every one of you lovely friends!

I will continue to work hard to write stories that everyone finds good, exciting, and moving, just because you are encouraging me, supporting me, and with you... I am omnipotent!

I'm too excited, I came up to vent, I'm going down to write manuscripts immediately. Even if I go to bed at twelve o'clock today, I have to write more, just so that everyone can read more and be more excited!

An excited and incoherent Lin Hai Tingtao
