Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 62... well, it's a bit sudden, but my editor let me publish it.

I'm disgusted. To be honest, it should have been a good thing to be released, but I also had things to do at work. Is this a case of things happening all at once?

I reached 15 words today, and my editor told me to put it on sale tomorrow… I only saw it after I got off work today! I was completely stunned when I saw it…

I thought it would be a consolation prize after 200,000 words, but it was published after only 150,000 words. Damn, I really didn't expect this.

Regardless of the quality of the updates, it's common for the novel to be released in large quantities after it's published, but I can't do that because of work commitments.

It's not that I can't talk about it, nor is it something I need to hide. The company I work for is a PCB factory that makes circuit boards, but we only make boards and don't do IC component assembly. It's harder to get orders for that because of that. And unlike those big companies in the same industry like Jingwang, Shennan, and Shengyi, which have several factories, our company's factory is just three buildings in an industrial park, each occupying one or two floors, and it even spans the entire industrial park.

Why not put them all in one building? Because it's for environmental protection; the processes must be done separately.

None of that matters. The difference between our factory and companies like JLCPCB that mainly produce mid-to-low-end boards is that we can also make some high-end boards, but not really high-end ones.

My client has an eight-layer blind via board, which is considered a mid-to-high-end type, and the manufacturing process is actually quite complex.

And now the factory has delayed things.

There are over twenty processes in total, and after three days they're still drilling holes. I'm so fed up. I'm already on my way to the factory to prepare for the board inspection.

In our industry, "board following" means that the sales manager personally goes to each process in the factory to have their own board made first. Once it's done, it's immediately taken to the next process, without waiting for the factory staff to arrive and push it to the next round of processes. You can imagine how much the time difference can be reduced in this way.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Then today the editor told me it will be available tomorrow...

Alright, let's put it on sale then. It's a good thing it's on sale...

However, I can no longer update frequently; I'll probably only be able to update three times a day.

Then I have enough drafts for four or five days, and it seems like I might be able to have more later...

Sigh, this is something I never expected...

Well, I still have to thank Boss Qinghu, okay? He helped me apply for 15 words to be published. After it's published, there will be a trial run. You all know this better than I do.

However, I'm not looking for results anymore. How can I compare to others who update 10,000 words a day when I only update two or three times a day?

I do have that much to say. Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone here. Although the first person I want to thank is definitely Qinghu, who helped me get my 15-word novel published, it wouldn't have been possible without readers.

Life is bitter, and novels are merely a kind of additive. If one can taste a little sweetness in them to dilute the bitterness of life, that is perhaps what every author should be most proud of and respected by others for.

It will be available for purchase at midnight tomorrow. Thank you for your support.

Um... I forgot to change the status of the chapter at midnight; it should have been set to VIP...

It's nothing, just a free chapter. It's not a big deal. The only difference is that the first-day subscription numbers will be a third less.

Waaaaah... It really wasn't a big deal...

[By the way, I'm going to enable fan value comments now. Actually, I thought about it the first day I got criticized, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that enabling fan value comments before the book is even published would be forcing people to give me rewards, which is a bit unethical. Although writers earn money from readers' rewards, since the book isn't published, normal readers will still be affected. So I decided to leave it at that until I get back to my factory dormitory today. Oh, and once the word count reaches a million and meets the requirements, I'll try to apply to my editor for a limited-time free offer. I'll let you all know in advance.]

[Thank you so much to "不知活死" and "爱一条" for the donations! I'm incredibly grateful; this is the first time someone has donated to me. I'm truly honored and deeply thankful!]

Also, regarding that "Autumn Rebellion in Hidden Cloud Village" thing I wrote before, I just realized there was indeed a problem with that part, so I've already deleted those two words. Damn, I didn't sleep well at all in the factory dormitory today. I woke up around 5 a.m., and then I was sleepy, hot (the air conditioner was on 28 degrees Celsius), and stuffy, so I habitually opened the author's backend and saw a reader saying that my book is going to be canceled...

I initially thought it was someone trying to insult me ​​again, because someone said they'd report me for that previous post. I didn't even pay attention, you know? I believed I had a clear conscience. You might say I was insulting people, but I didn't use any profanity, right? Then I glanced at the original post, and damn it! Just that one glance! I was absolutely terrified, you know?!

I finally understand why some readers threatened to report me, and why this person said my book was doomed. I really didn't mean anything by it! I just wrote it as I felt comfortable, you know!

Holy crap, I was so scared I immediately deleted those two words, I was sweating bullets.

It's alright, my book didn't do very well, not many people read it, otherwise I would have been completely ruined if someone had stirred up a storm. Thanks to that reader for pointing it out, I absolutely did not have that kind of intention, and I am a genuine Little Pink, a cyber wolf warrior, and I have fought online for three days and three nights with those traitors who worship foreign things! I absolutely did not have that kind of intention!

Thank you for pointing that out!
