After posting three chapters last night, I kept writing until half past eleven before coming online. When I opened the page, tears immediately streamed down my face...

Lost, utterly defeated by the Rebel Army. I was seemingly ahead by over five hundred votes, but now I’ve lost by several hundred.

It was a fight to the bitter end; the fighting strength of the Rebel Army is truly extraordinary. Bai He had to lower his banners, retreat to a deserted corner to draw circles and curse the Fatty...

Damn Fatty, just wait until the annual gathering. If I don't drag you out for two rounds of drinks and food, my name isn't Bai He anymore, I'll change it to Bai Goose!

※※※※ Enough small talk, let’s consider the reasons for this failure. Back in the day, when Bai He was around twenty-four or twenty-five thousand, his monthly ticket count could still reach nearly eight thousand.

But now, at twenty-four, I've only gained a thousand more votes. Reflecting deeply on this painful setback, Bai He admits that I truly haven't worked hard enough; updates have been too infrequent.

Compared to the unreasonable Rebel Army led by the Fatty, if I don't bring out one hundred percent, even two hundred percent, of my fighting strength, how can I possibly win! ※※※※ April, April sixteenth, is Bai He's birthday.

This time, Bai He will not only play the update card but also the sentiment card—I will use any means necessary... to pull in monthly tickets.

Starting from the first, which is today, Bai He begins his explosion! Fifteen thousand words daily, never mind whether it’s Saturday or Sunday.

Let’s see how long I can keep this up this month; as long as my fingers don't snap, Bai He will unleash his full power! I want to know, where lies Bai He's greatest potential?

I want to know, where lies the greatest potential of the Crane Friends? I want to know, what is the absolute limit for Bai He’s monthly tickets?

The mountains are ablaze with flowers in the April sky; the grass is growing and orioles are flying—it’s the perfect season for an outing. However, Bai He has decided to be a shut-in at home.

April will be the month with the most explosive output since Bai He joined the Qidian family. The ranking on the monthly ticket chart is like the Thirty-Six Opening Forms of the Five Elements Unification, capable of transforming into the driving force for Bai He to persevere, For the happiness of this homebody, for the hard work of this homebody, and for the...

birthday of this homebody. Friends passing by, friends stopping by, all Crane Friends, please keep your precious guaranteed monthly tickets!

Thank you... ※※※※ Ps: I suddenly noticed after the Qidian site update that there is a display for the number of people who have given rewards.

Not the amount, but the count of tippers. Let me ask quietly: on April sixteenth, could the Crane Friends give me a one-yuan reward?

Don't give much, one yuan is enough. I just want to see, after mixing around on Qidian for three years, how many old friends and new friends will remember to celebrate this sluggish crane’s birthday.

If there isn't a single one, then Bai He will have truly failed. Anxious in my heart, a tiny wish, Will it happen?
