Chapter 71: Thoughts on Going Live (Scheduled for Midnight, with Bonus Update Plan)

After midnight, the book will officially go live, so let's have a quick chat with everyone.

First, the initial intention behind the creation:

I, Shi, have always felt that in a mysterious world of immense power, its environment and elements should be equally grand. A sun that can experience four seasons, a moon that can witness the vast sea and sky. A storm, a drought, lasting for decades or even centuries. There are eternal Flame Mountains, and Great Seas frozen for ten thousand years...

Based on this setting, I began to ponder how the people of this world would resist natural disasters. That's when I thought of integrating the twenty-four solar terms into this worldview. Perhaps the twenty-four solar terms were created by ancient great powers to combat natural disasters? (Just a thought)

However, this idea was from two years ago, when I felt my writing skills and experience were insufficient, so I didn't dare to start writing. I just slowly accumulated inspiration, like reading articles on the Theory of Five Elements and Four Seasons, the Divine Farmer's Herbal Classic, Grand View Wood, Interpretation of Time Training... until the system structure and thoughts were relatively complete, only then did I dare to publish it.

During this process, the spirit of 'Great Unified Mysterious Dynasty, where all professions can exhibit magic arts' was also incorporated. Later, it was continuously refined, and in the upcoming chapters, other professions will gradually be introduced.

For example, this dynasty is quite friendly to ordinary people, with the Double Emperor Supreme Treasure, which warns against treachery, 'There is a master of the land, do not enter without invitation.' There is also a paper book that can upgrade, granting blessings and longevity. There is also a holy decree that can bring people down to dust.

The official positions and cultivation realms are bound, with the Transmission of All Techniques, Feng Yin God, Establish Temple to monitor hundreds of officials... I believe a centralized mysterious dynasty should have such strong control!

Returning to the protagonist's profession itself, this entry point has been considered for a long time. Previously, I even thought about starting from the Academy, organizing something like a 'Green Seedling Competition', which is also a kind of farming, but similar to the agricultural flow, but always felt a bit discordant. There was even an original book title considered as 'Hundred Flower Dao Monarch', but then felt it seemed too gentle...

There were also ideas like an exiled prince sent to the frontier to farm, with a system rewarding various plants and skills, creating a prince farming flow... Or starting as an official, being framed, and nurturing a very valuable plant, etc., as the opening.

Always felt too formulaic, and I wasn't satisfied with it.

Finally, I settled on a relatively slow-paced opening, with many settings revealed at the start, which is the current one.

Starting with Sinoong's small official, gradually transitioning through the examination of solar terms. Heavenly Timing Technique, Earth Advantage Magic Arts, Valley Bird Natural Disaster, cultivation against disasters, Theory of Five Elements and Four Seasons, miraculous creatures, Climbing Spirit Mountain... Yes, this is a very hair-raising opening.

In summary, the author has put a lot of effort and tried their best in writing.

Honestly, when I first took this opening chapter to ask others, including the editor, they were not optimistic.

Divine Farmer Dao Monarch? How dare you take a four-character book title? Are you crazy? This is exclusively for the Great God!

An opening this slow-paced? No face-slapping or showing off? Are you crazy? It needs to be fast-paced!

Supporting characters have such good names, but the protagonist's name is so ordinary, You don't...

Fortunately, there was still an editor who was willing to take it, and here I especially thank the group editor Ye Xiao, who thought my opening was okay, a very professional editor!

Thanks to the group chief editor Bing Gan for the encouragement!

The initial performance when entering the library was not very ideal, with only twenty or thirty collections a day, almost thinking this book would flop.

Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and persisted until it entered the library and got trial recommendations.

Unexpectedly, the follow-up was not bad, actually passing through all the PK stages and getting all the new book recommendations, reaching as high as sixth on the new book list.

To be honest, for a level 1 new account, achieving this level is already very rare.

Many times, similar content written by a level 1 account would be criticized to death, while written by a Great God, it would be 'profound'.

One uses a Great Mirror to find flaws, another uses a Great Mirror to find strengths.

Fortunately, among the absolute majority of readers, there is still a clear self-judgment ability, and they have followed along to the present.

Sometimes there are typos, and I can't see them even if I'm blind, so please bear with me. If found, I will definitely correct them.

However, for the plot and settings, the author has their own rhythm. If I find it reasonable, I will listen, but in most cases, I will write according to the predetermined ideas.

There are still many settings and stories that I find interesting, which will slowly emerge later.

Here, I thank all the brothers and sisters who voted and tipped, especially Sister Vera Xiao, who even gave a league master, very grateful!

Next, let's talk about the update issue.

Tonight at midnight, after going live, there will be a big feast!

Five thousand words per chapter, releasing five chapters in one go! Twenty-five thousand words, let everyone enjoy!

Afterwards, daily updates of eight thousand to ten thousand words, also released in one go, scheduled for noon every day.

If there are unexpected situations like Kavin or other matters, I will inform in advance, but generally, I will keep drafts as a backup.

As for tipping and bonus updates, since there is already a league master, let's set a league master plus one update (of five thousand words).

So at midnight, six chapters will be released in one go! Daily updates at noon!

For tipping, as a level 1 account, I don't expect much more, brothers and sisters can read the official version, and I am very satisfied.

Monthly ticket bonus updates can be done, let's set it at 3000 tickets for one bonus update, during the early month guaranteed monthly ticket + double monthly ticket period, everyone can vote.

Set low for fear of affecting update time and quality, after all, regular updates, and the amount is not small.

We don't seek that momentary pleasure, don't do things beyond our ability.

If there are brothers on Q Read or other channels, please come to Qidian to support the author.

"Hehe," the author gives everyone a thumbs up!
