Artifact Report

Chapter 48 is on the shelf, I squat on the shelf and say my thoughts
Think about it, the Pseudo-Image was only published for about forty days, or a little over a month.

I never thought at first that I would ride such an ups and downs roller coaster...

The difficulty of writing group portraits has increased at least three times (I calculated this by repeatedly pouring green liquid in the laboratory while wearing a white coat), and the audience has been reduced three times (same as above, it's scientific). I am actually mentally prepared for these.

Or rather, I thought I was mentally prepared.

When I first started writing, I was still experiencing the illusion and inertia left over from the apocalypse. Looking around, I seemed to be able to see ghosts surrounded by flowers.

(I know Doomsday isn't that popular either, but it's much more popular by comparison.)
Aside from the brief period of excitement when everyone showed up to support the post, as the post progressed, I began to face the harsh reality: Eh? I knew you were a niche, but I didn't expect you to be this niche?
It feels like my readers are all from the apocalypse, losing money along the way, and my capital is almost depleted. Who wouldn’t be anxious? Seeing the backend data getting lower and lower, I was actually very anxious too.

You see, even if one's initial determination was firm, after colliding with reality, one will feel pain. If the collision is too severe, one will need a cast.

My head was wrapped in plaster, watching (don't worry about how I saw it, I saw it anyway) the new book that was becoming increasingly unpopular, and I persevered to continue writing. At that time, I was writing about Chai Si, an unpopular character in the unpopular novel; as I persevered, I suddenly felt much calmer.

How should I put it? I suddenly had a feeling that, hey, this is the state I should be in.

When I started writing this book, I wrote it with the mindset that I had never written about the end of the world before and this was the first book in my life. So isn’t it just right when the external environment is not lively and there are no colorful flags flying?
The more niche and unpopular the article is, the more it should be written in a niche and quiet environment, so that it is not easily distracted by other things. "Environment" can be both mental and external.

So I said I'd aim for 20 first orders, and while I was joking, thinking back, if it really was just 20, it wouldn't be unacceptable. We should return to where we came from, not that the journey was in vain, but more like... seeing mountains is seeing mountains again, seeing water is seeing water again.

I chose a deserted path, and naturally I had to walk step by step in silence, watching the mountains move in the white smoke and mist, and occasionally lifting the veil to see the hidden scenery I was looking for.

Anyway, thank you for being with me all the way to the end. You know, I didn't have a flashlight.

PS: Oh, and my editor told me to mention Ye Lu Convenience Store every now and then, in case someone still doesn't know I have a mistress (bushi). My editor is so kind to me, he's almost going out in the street with a mask on to kidnap someone to read my articles, so I have to keep shouting: Ye Lu Convenience Store, Ye Lu Convenience Store!
A short story that goes well with rice and leaves a lingering aftertaste!
After reading the book "Wild Deer Convenience Store", the child's test scores improved and the old man's leg pain disappeared, said Ms. Liu, a citizen.

"Wild Deer Convenience Store is a store I like to go to often to buy things." - Excerpted from the Wall Street Journal review, with a guilty conscience.
