Let me remind everyone: the bonus chapters for the cover recommendation have been updated, welcome everyone to subscribe!

*King of the Zone* has been recommended for a second time!!!

A day worth celebrating! A great day with commemorative significance in human history! A day that will surely be recorded in the annals of human civilization!

Okay, all of the above is a joke.

Please forgive me for being too excited.

Yes, it's true excitement, not a joke.

Because I've been writing books on Qidian for almost ten years, and this is the first time I've enjoyed the privilege of having the same book recommended for the cover a second time (referred to as "second recommendation"). This has never happened before.

Neither *We Are Champions* nor *Champion Godfather* received the second recommendation treatment, and *Champion's Legend* is even more out of the question. That book didn't do well, so it wasn't eligible for the second recommendation.

Therefore, I've actually been looking forward to the second recommendation for a long time, and I've been pestering the editor for it. Now it's finally coming.

First of all, I have to thank my editor, Yisu, for helping me get the recommendation, thank our group leader, Anyi, and thank Qidian Chinese Website.

Then thank you all, if it weren't for your support, I wouldn't be qualified for the second recommendation at all.

The standard for the second recommendation is eight thousand high-level subscribers. This book passed eight thousand several months ago, and is now struggling towards the goal of ten thousand high-level subscribers—the higher you go, the slower the high-level subscriptions increase, but at least it's still increasing. A few days ago, when I asked the editor, he said that the number of high-level subscribers was already nine thousand eight hundred and fifty, and it would pass ten thousand with another one hundred and fifty subscriptions!

So please help me a lot and help me realize this ten-year wish of writing books on Qidian, so that I can also have a book with more than ten thousand high-level subscribers. I would like to ask for your help here!

Let's talk about this book again. In another month, this book will have been written for a year. This is probably the fastest book I've ever written. My previous book, *Champion's Legend*, took a year and seven months to write, and this book will definitely not be longer than that.

Just look at my updates now, at least 300,000 words are updated every month. Whether I'm at home, out and about, at relatives' houses, at friends' houses, in underground parking lots, in coffee shops, in restaurants waiting for food… I'm writing, and my wrists are sore. Carrying a heavy laptop and a small table, I go wherever I go and write wherever I go. I wish I could sit on the toilet and write when I go to the bathroom.

I've never worked so hard in my life.

Perhaps it's because I finally got married, and I'm about to have my own child—at the end of next month, the child will be born, and diapers, milk powder… all need money. I feel the pressure, and I shoulder more responsibility.

I think the sign of a boy becoming a man is that he knows how to be responsible.

Well, I've had a successful transformation...

In order to make my wife not worry about food and clothing, in order to let my children grow up healthily, in order to let my parents and my whole family live a good life, I write desperately. Although I'm tired, I'm full of motivation and hope.

At this time, I want to thank you again, because if it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have any money to earn. No matter how much I write, it would all be waste paper, so there would be no motivation.

Although I write stories about dreams and glory, this world is actually quite vulgar at first. Without money, you have nothing. I can't escape vulgarity either, so I still hope that everyone, if you can, please support the genuine version as much as possible.

Chen Yingxiong, as the novel progresses, is also gradually maturing. At the beginning, he was a complete idiot, a pure one. But later, as he grew older and experienced more, he gradually matured.

So, if you look at Volume Six from the perspective of character development, it's the story of Chen Yingxiong transforming from an idiotic boy into a man.

I actually like Chen Yingxiong, the protagonist, very much. Although he sometimes acts foolishly, he's genuine, and his heart isn't bad. He's actually the same as every ordinary person, except that he's more famous and richer than us. Nothing else has changed. He won't be hypocritical because he's famous and rich, he won't disguise himself, wear a mask, and say things that sound impressive but that he doesn't even believe himself.

So I will work hard to shape him well. The enrichment and improvement of his image is not over yet, and it will continue until the end of this book.

This is quite in line with my style. Almost none of my protagonists are fixed from the beginning, whether it's their own abilities or personality, they are constantly changing. Zhang Jun is the story of a boy becoming a man, Tony. Donn goes from initial arrogance to final calmness and tranquility, and Chen Yingxiong is the same…

Only Chu Zhongtian failed, his personality didn't change much. So the results of the book *Champion's Legend* are also the worst...

I fully learned my lesson and wrote Chen Yingxiong. I'm very happy that everyone likes him so much. *King of the Zone* has the best results of all the books I've written. The high-level subscription is almost 10,000, and the monthly ticket results have never been out of the top 30 on the total list.

So thank you all for liking this story and this character so much.

This makes me feel very fulfilled.

If nothing unexpected happens, this book will definitely end before the end of this year. It's almost there anyway. Now Chen Yingxiong's story only has one major task left: to restore Liverpool's glorious dynasty. Once this task is completed, it's naturally time to say goodbye.

Of course, I won't write about all the championships, that would take more than a dozen seasons…

So this sixth volume, "Peerless Hero," is actually the story of Chen Yingxiong leading Liverpool to dominate, and then the seventh volume will be the epilogue—friends who are familiar with me know that I will definitely write until he retires. I've already thought about the ending of this book. Because I'm afraid of spoilers, I can't say much, but what I can say is that the ending of Chen Yingxiong's story will definitely be different from any protagonist I've written before.

I will write every book well from beginning to end, and I will not end it in a hurry, let alone a bad ending.

Volume Six is the final climax of this book, and Volume Seven will not be too long.

Maybe three months, maybe four months, and I will say goodbye to everyone.

I wonder if it's too early to start talking about this now?

Regarding the new book, I'm actually considering it. I've thought of two stories, but I haven't decided which one to write yet. I'll discuss it with the editor at that time.

Once I have news, I will definitely notify everyone as soon as possible.

I hope that you will continue to support me at that time.

I'm really too excited about the second cover recommendation, and I've said so much without realizing it…

Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to listen to my nagging. Having you is my greatest happiness.

I hope that in the next book, we will still have the opportunity to chat in the name of the second recommendation.

I hope every book has such an opportunity!

Finally, thank you all again, thank you to the friends who silently support me, thank you to every friend who has subscribed to this book, thank you Tian Ruoshui, Huokao Laomuji, Guying$Hanjiang, 7№Zangqingク, Xinluan Ruxing, Zhushen Chengnuo de Yongyuan, Fengzhong de Pugongying (^!^)… these are my alliance leader friends.
