Having finished the third update, I glanced at the monthly ticket rankings and the annual works rankings. We're still in the lead, all thanks to everyone's strong support. I'm extremely grateful.

Our goal for this month is clear: to fight for first place. There's nothing shameful about that, and certainly nothing we can't say.

The difficulty of fighting for first place is, of course, extremely high. *The King's Avatar* used five million words to tell a story about fighting for first place. Why is fighting for first place so hard? The book also explains it very clearly: because everyone wants first place, but there's only one first place.

Our Qidian rankings are the same.

Every work is excellent, and the readers who support each work are exceptionally enthusiastic, all hoping that the work they support will become number one.

The cruel thing is that there can only be one number one, and everyone can only compete. There may be conflicts during the competition, and misunderstandings are inevitable, but I hope everyone won't hurt the harmony. We are all rushing up the charts with the same goal, all working hard and striving for that common goal. Everyone is working hard and doing great.

On the charts, we'll play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner. Off the charts, everyone hold hands and be good book friends.

January has only just begun, and there's still a long way to go. This road is very hard. Everyone line up, hold hands, and don't fall behind. As long as we can keep going, we won't have any regrets.

I estimate there will be more single-chapter posts this month for the rankings push. I used to occasionally post single chapters, but I would basically delete them later, and I didn't even keep a draft on my computer. But I think I might keep the ones from this month, so I can look back on them later and have a good review and memory.

Keep moving forward. This is a time to create beautiful memories, beautiful memories that everyone will have!
