That was too hasty; let's start a new chapter.

Just to explain, I watered the page twice before to ensure I got full attendance...

My royalties basically all come from perfect attendance bonuses...

So, just a quick aside: [Those who read on QQ Reading or elsewhere can subscribe to Qidian's full collection~ although I don't know if there are any readers there].

Okay, that's all for now. Here are some brief blessings.

...

To all the readers who have made it this far, whether you're reading the original or a pirated copy, I am extremely grateful.

2019 may have had many disappointments, but don't worry, 2020 will also have its share of disappointments!

Just kidding, things not going as planned are inevitable, we can only face them.

The troll warrior once said, "The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!"

There were many disappointments, but also many memorable moments.

For example, I often recall the day Mu Yu rewarded me with the title of Alliance Leader. He was so damn cool!

Anyway, I just hope everyone won't get discouraged by temporary setbacks.

Face these unpleasant things!

Awesome!

...

The New Year's Day holiday is approaching, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner.

We, the authors, are filled with gratitude and sincerely wish all our readers a year with fewer disappointments and more wonderful memories.

I hope all you single guys meet girls who like you.

[I was offered a boyfriend this year, but I refused! For you guys, I refused! True story... a local Shanghai girl forcefully confessed her feelings... ahem]

I hope that high school students [are there?] can get into their desired universities.

I hope that college students will [have the following goals]: succeed in postgraduate entrance exams and find jobs they like.

Those who have already entered the workforce [do you feel it?] hope their salaries and positions continue to rise.

Wishing all readers a happy new year, good health, and abundant wealth.
