Here is the report.

I noticed several readers worrying that this book's performance might be poor.

Please don't worry.

The initial subscription numbers are quite decent, outperforming every book I've written before.

It is more than double the premiere performance of my previous work, *What Do You Mean by Midfielder Destroyer?*

This isn't because I've improved; it's entirely thanks to everyone's generous support.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to "Big Stick Hits Harder," who generously bestowed a Supreme Patron tier reward without hesitation when the book had only a few thousand words. Little Melon is moved to tears.

Thank you to all my esteemed patrons who vote, tip, subscribe, and support me every single day.

There are many new faces here, as well as many old friends who have chosen to continue supporting Little Melon.

Little Melon guarantees that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will do my absolute best to update every single day moving forward.

Emergency contact: Minced Pork Noodles.

If I ever miss an update without asking for leave, he knows where I live and will definitely know something has happened to me (during the serialization of *Midfielder Destroyer*, I experienced three earthquakes and two floods).

Minced Pork Noodles is my mentor, who taught me everything he knew. Back in the day, he helped me earn a living writing whatever genre I wanted on external platforms. He's a great guy, plays football exceptionally well, and serves as the Xavi of the school team. (Whenever I recommended his chapters in the past, many readers here would go over and berate him, to the point where he begged me to stop featuring him, which made me feel terribly guilty.)

I also want to thank my editor, Liuxing, whose professional expertise is top-tier. He can pinpoint issues in a manuscript with absolute precision, and he is gentle, patient, and thoroughly dedicated to his responsibilities. (When I first came to Qidian and published *Midfielder Destroyer* directly, Liuxing was the one who signed it. The very first thing he said to me was, "This book will definitely hit ten thousand subscriptions," which shows his extraordinary vision. I later learned that Liuxing is renowned in the industry as a "golden touch," having guided countless authors to great success.)

...

No more chatting; I need to hurry up and write.

There's a plot point in the upcoming chapter where I've gotten stuck in a rut, and it will probably take me a long time to untangle.

I promise you all once again: regardless of how the book performs in the future, Little Melon will do his utmost to maintain daily updates without interruption.
