Six chapters done; I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Though the monthly tickets didn't quite break one hundred, Xiao Yu still pushed hard to deliver six chapters, refusing to disappoint my readers. It’s just that my mood is somewhat complicated now, a little melancholy.

Ninety-four votes—just six shy of breaking the double-digit barrier and reaching three digits. To fall short at the last moment, that truly stings. Even though the goal wasn't met, having over ninety votes shows me my friends tried their absolute best.

Even with their eyelids heavy, they gritted their teeth and pushed through to help me finish these six chapters. Since we didn't make the breakthrough this time, Xiao Yu vows to try even harder. Today, I earnestly request my friends' support once more.

After finishing the book, please take a quick peek at your personal center to see if you still have any monthly tickets lingering there. If you do, I beg you to cast that precious ticket toward Xiao Yu, giving me the encouragement I need. Encouraging Xiao Yu is simple: just below the book page, there’s the link, ‘Vote Monthly Ticket to Support the Author.’ A light click is all it takes.

I know this is asking a lot, but no matter what, Xiao Yu will persevere. I will grit my teeth and keep going. Six chapters straight—it’s not easy.

Any author writing books knows that the guaranteed minimum of two chapters is manageable, but every chapter added after that becomes exponentially more draining. Writing the fifth and sixth chapters was significantly harder than the first four because, by then, both my fingers and my mind were deep into the exhaustion zone. You could say I can manage three or four chapters, but the fifth and sixth demand everything I have left.

Xiao Yu is willing to fight one more battle, hoping only for enough momentum to break one hundred in a single day. I’m counting on you all! RS
