It is already past four in the morning, and perhaps everyone else is asleep, but Old Ya is typing away. Since starting to write, my health has declined precipitously. I used to practice gymnastics for two years, followed by three years of formal athletic training, and later two years of bodybuilding... In high school, even when it was below minus ten degrees Celsius, I never took a hot shower; I’d just use the tap water directly in the communal washing area... My physical condition was impeccable back then, but now... My neck and waist ache fiercely, and today I even caught a cold!

Being sick is miserable enough, but my train of thought is also completely stuck—I just can’t seem to write anything coherent. Still, I finally managed to finish the fourth chapter update, which brings me immense satisfaction and happiness!

Tomorrow the double monthly ticket event ends. Old Ya only has about a hundred votes. Brothers, please try clicking the "Vote for Author with Monthly Ticket" button below. Perhaps you already have a monthly ticket and don't even realize it!

As you all know, a friend of mine was hit by a car these last few days. Although the injuries weren't too serious, he still had to be hospitalized. I visited him several times, and unexpectedly, after visiting the hospital so often, I caught this cold. What bad luck!

Subscriptions are getting worse and worse. I hope the brothers who have the means will grant Old Ya a subscription, and those who are able might even give a tip. Your support is truly my motivation and driving force; otherwise, I feel less and less enthusiastic about writing!

I implore you and thank you all. After all, this is how I earn my living now. Without this support, Old Ya truly won't be able to hold on!!! (To be continued. To know what happens next, please log in to
