(Note 1: Adapted from the introduction of the video "The Important Things She Lost" by Yuli, a B-station UP host. It says, "It's not that we realize the value of something only after we lose it, but among all the things we have lost, some are particularly precious.")
Volume 2, 170 chapters, approximately 680,000 words. If you include the free chapters, it should be Volume 3.
It’s over. I may post my final remarks at night because I have to catch a train today. In addition, I need to think carefully about my problems in this volume.
So, the comments may be delayed.
Volume 3 starts tomorrow.
Ending remarks for Volume 3 (2?)
Volume 2 - Taking into account the division of the starting point system, the previous volume 1 was split into volumes 1 and 2, so this volume was divided into the third volume in terms of serial number.
(This chapter is a reflection after I caught the train back home.)
Let me share my thoughts first.
Writing this volume did bring me considerable challenges and fun. Now reflecting on it, the biggest problem with this volume is that the map switching is too abrupt, and there are many places that lack foreshadowing.
For example, I wasn't very satisfied with the plot of the story going to the southern continent after setting sail, and then directly transferring to the archipelago. I was still not very satisfied with this part because I still lacked consideration for the plot here. When I wrote about the southern continent, I found that there was not enough content to write about.
The reason for this is that I didn't have enough control over the plot, and I didn't lay enough groundwork for the Southern Continent in the early stages before rushing to move there. The "Main God Space" setting in the first volume also made the Southern Continent lack a sense of urgency.
To me, this paragraph is not interesting enough. I felt pained when writing it myself, and I don't think the readers will be satisfied either.
So after that, I let Xiao Ke leave the southern continent and go to Groselle's Travels. After that, I basically started to design the plot in a chain of events. I don't know what everyone thinks of it yet, but the later chapters say more, which makes me happier.
However, another problem was exposed at this time. Xiao Ke's team was a bit too complicated. For a "master of secret puppets", whether it was a "solo show" or a "group drama", it was directed by the master of secret puppets alone. Xiao Ke obviously would not calculate his partners and make his partners his pawns.
So, I will pay attention to this in the next volume.
Another problem is that Lao Gao is too powerful. Coupled with the omniscient ability of the "true time traveler", it is impossible to play without Lao Gao overturning the table, so Lao Gao went offline for a while.
However, I later made amends and completely abandoned my previous plan. That was to gradually promote Lao Gao—well, for an Old One, that was a bit too insulting. I would rather let Lao Gao be unable to take action due to the barrier and his own human nature than let the Old Ones feel so frustrated.
——But I felt much happier when I wrote the latter part than the former (I felt happy).
Similarly, when I was writing this paragraph, I didn't feel the pain of tormenting each other that I had felt before. Basically, each chapter could be completed within 3 hours. This also gave me more free time to read some other books.
Then let’s talk about the plot of this volume.
"The Narrow Gate" - well, how should I put it, the ending of this volume is quite different from what I had imagined at the beginning. Fortunately, I haven't written the detailed outline of the next volume yet, otherwise I would probably have to start all over again.
My initial vision was that at the end of "The Narrow Gate," Mr. Men would take action, sacrificing a part of himself for the sake of the people. However, I couldn't bring myself to do it in the end, and another reason was that Mr. Men had always been by Lao Gao's side, and he was being suppressed quite harshly.
However, the result was that Klein killed him and became a demigod. This ending was not bad. After all, in this world, there were not many people who had deep hatred for Xiao Ke and Ins Zangwill. The Blood Emperor couldn't make any more trouble, so they established a connection in a short time.
So, I am quite satisfied with this ending.
That's pretty much it for this volume's flaws and reflections—well, I'll definitely be able to use them for the next time. Now let me tell you about the next volume, and don't worry, there will be no spoilers.
By the time I got to the point where George III gave up his self-importance, the tone for the next volume had been pretty much set. Let me start with the title: "Justice."
At the end of this volume, I've already highlighted several of the main characters for the next volume—yes, as the title suggests, Miss Justice will have quite a few scenes, though most likely not in a romantic role. However, all of this will depend on how things develop later.
As for the Tarot Club, the ones in Backlund will have more appearances, and Alger, well, Alger will also have the opportunity to transform in this volume. As for the specific opportunity, I won't reveal it. In fact, I feel that apart from Xiao Ke, Lao Gao, and Audrey, Alger's growth should also be in line with the title of this volume.
In this volume, I will try to portray it in more depth, giving the Backlund stage a more realistic atmosphere. Also inevitably, the perspective will probably be locked on these "protagonists". I will not write too many group portraits or change too many maps like in the previous volume.
For me, this type of writing that I have never done before is a challenge. I am also looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks will be created by the collision of several people on the stage who uphold justice in their hearts.
The average subscription for this book is currently stable, around 1,200. It looks like it will be able to land smoothly. For me, I prefer to try more writing styles and improve my writing skills. For me, writing is not a job, but a hobby and a form of creation.
Although we must live a simple life, we must also at least look at poetry and distant places. In the process of creation, I can indeed feel a lot of joy.
Tomorrow, I'll be updating a bit later because I need to think about the game's start. However, there won't be much going on during the National Day holiday, so overall, I think there won't be too few updates in the next few days.
Of course, because I don't like taking leave. I know how painful it is when an author suddenly takes leave while I'm following the update, so I haven't taken any leave since the beginning of the book. One reason is to be fully present, and the other is that I don't want to disappoint everyone.
So, I want to take advantage of these rare holidays to save a few more chapters. As you can see, I don’t have a single word saved now.
Of course, there will be no shortage of updates. Because of the plot, I may not be able to update twice a day tomorrow, but from now on, as long as I have nothing to do, I should be able to update twice a day. I will also update more often when I have more manuscripts saved.
Um, I’ve written almost two thousand words of thanks, so let’s stop here.
Tomorrow, the third volume "Justice" will begin to be updated ~ Yuehu is here to ask for all kinds of votes, hoping to get recommended next month.

Volume 3: Justice
“Overcome an era within yourself.”
Chapter 312 Return of “The World”
"The changes in this city are much greater than I imagined..."
Klein looked at Backlund in front of him, slowly stepping off the private boat provided by Aurora Company.
Xiou, dressed in black tights and looking like a bodyguard, followed behind Klein. Xiou seemed quite dedicated. Even though she knew that Mr. World in front of her did not need any protection at all, she still stood diligently behind Mr. World.
Klein now resembled Dwayne Dantès. However, unlike the original worldline, his body lacked the traces of years of wind and sun exposure in the southern continent. His skin was more like that of the local Loen people, and he was dressed in a sophisticated white suit.
There was a little bit of white in his hair, but his whole person was full of energy. Although he looks more than forty years old, he gives the impression of a mature gentleman who is less than forty and only about thirty-five years old.
Hanging on his chest is a cross pendant made of mixed gold and silver, and on the left side of his heart is a badge of the same color.
These two dazzling decorations reflected a little light in the sun, causing the people around to take a second look at the middle-aged gentleman's position - this badge represents the belief of the Creator.
Among Backlund, there are not many people who believe in the "Creator".
In the current Backlund, although the Church of Storm and Night have relaxed their control over the Aurora Church, formerly known as the Aurora Society, the problems left over from the past and the strength of the Church of Storms still result in the Aurora Church not having many followers in Backlund. , the problem of not being popular.
The current size of the Aurora Church in Backlund is stronger than the "Earth Mother Goddess Church", but weaker than the "Steam Church".
In Klein's eyes, Backlund's overall changes have been quite significant.
In Backlund, the previous disaster almost destroyed the entire city planning of Backlund, and this gave Tuduo the opportunity to re-plan the entire Backlund according to his own wishes.
Building a mausoleum for the Black Emperor is secondary. Russell Gustav has been resurrected, and the Black Emperor's mausoleum here is currently unusable.
And now Aristatudu, who is in a semi-crazy state, also has to prevent other gods from attacking here with the help of ordinary people's army.
In the following period of time, the Sequence 1 "Prince of Order Killing" characteristic in Tudor's body will be attracted by Roselle and disappear in his body. At that time, Alistair Tudor will be able to get rid of his madness and become a complete "Red Priest".
Furthermore, as a Sequence Zero "Hunter," Alistair Tudor also took advantage of this opportunity to set up many traps in Backlund targeting high-sequence Beyonders and even True Gods, and incidentally added some of his own unique war aesthetics to them.
Backlund was now divided into three floors and seven areas. The core floor was Tudor, the Augustus family's palace. On the second floor, the "New Queen's District" was built to house the established aristocrats.
The "New Queens District" now established occupies approximately 50% of the space on the second floor, and the other two areas divide the remaining half equally.
The other two areas are the "Business District" for merchants without noble titles and "New Weston" where new nobles live. The former is a completely new district, while the composition of the latter is derived from the original "Hill". Stone District".
On the third floor beyond the second floor, there will not be any noble residences. After Tudor and George III were deeply integrated and took power alone, this place became a terrifying machine that supplied him with war supplies.
Like the second floor, half of the area here is allocated to the residential needs of production and other company employees. The remaining half accommodates everyone in the East District at that time, as well as the "new residents" who came to Backlund from other places to work. .
The outer ring of the third layer is also the last area.
Bordering the area responsible for production and other company employees is Backlund's current light industrial area. This area stretches continuously outside, expanding along the railway.
On the other side, belong to those heavy industries that are recognized to cause serious damage to the human body and environmental pollution. Adjacent to this heavy industrial area is the "industrial zone" that evolved from the original eastern district, and is spliced to the boundary of the industrial zone like gears.
Of these layers, the first, the royal palace area, was populated primarily by Arista Tudor's confidants, ordinary people and Beyonders contaminated by the Blood Emperor's aura. The second layer was a mix of military and church personnel, while the third layer was home to more Beyonders from the church.
This seems to be a compromise, but Tudor relaxed the building conditions on the third floor and did not control it, allowing ordinary people without a place to live to use their own wisdom to dig out an uncontrolled area underground that may collapse at any time. The dangerous urban areas below.
Under Tudor's guidance, the people here did exactly that. Due to the high housing prices, they almost allowed the underground "industrial zone" to take shape in just a few months.
On the contrary, after arriving at the factory area outside, it was Backlund's army and police who took the lead.
Klein held a map of Backlund in his hand. He paused briefly as he looked at the simple layout, then handed the map to Hugh, who served as his bodyguard under the identity of "Dwayne Dantès."
He tapped the ground lightly with the cane in his hand, calculated the money he had on him, reluctantly sat on the newly built electric track in the city, and walked towards the "business district" on the second floor.
But what Klein didn't expect was that there was a security system here that was very similar to the one on Earth. In the previous Backlund, there was no doubt that such a system did not exist.
This made Klein couldn't help but think about whether this "electric train" was also something Gao Dimension did.
But no matter what, your security system can't detect extraordinary items... Did you move the subway here?
Before entering the security check of the train, Klein cautiously went to the restroom in the station and used the "pendulum divination" method to divine whether his next behavior would lead to any bad consequences for him. .
After receiving a negative answer, Klein walked into the train with satisfaction and purchased a ticket.
Klein was sitting in the first-class carriage, looking calm as he sat on a train that was very similar to the train he rode on Earth in both appearance and inner shape.
It's so similar... Klein gently squeezed the wallet in his arms with his hand, his expression somewhat sad.
Lao Gao, did you, the bastard, set the fare?
This time it actually costs one pound...
Klein touched the savings he had saved before and felt a little pain inexplicably.
Although he had a high bounty when he was a pirate king at sea, he did not have enough savings.
One reason was that he had distributed most of his savings to his crew, and the other reason was that the talismans and extraordinary items he had carried with him, which were made with most of the money, were destroyed by Leodero's divine punishment.
The 20,000 gold pounds promised by Miss Justice had not yet arrived, and he only had a little over 30,000 gold pounds left. He still needed to pay 10,000 gold pounds as a reward for his messenger, Reinette.
Because Klein's goal was clear and he had the status of Aurora Company, he took the train directly to the "Metropolitan Household Servants Association" located in the business district on the second floor to prepare to hire a housekeeper. Organize yourself a team of servants.
That's right, this is Dwayne Dantes's first appearance in Backlund. I carry a secret bestowed by the goddess, and my existence will not be discovered by Amon and Adam who may be here for the time being.
Klein warned himself, pressing his palm. As a Trickster, he didn't have a Beyonder puppet. The only puppets he could use were the cockroaches and insects he controlled through the Spirit Thread.
Adding to the tasks given to me by the Goddess and the Creator, well, this time I came to Backlund not only to investigate the current Blood Emperor George Augustus, but also to find a way to figure out what Gao Wei is doing.
And, is he, like the real creators and others, thinking that he has been corroded by the sefirah and turned into an outer god, or a personality incarnation of the sefirah...
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but feel heavier. He sighed, walked out of the station, and walked into the open door of the "Metropolitan Helping Household Servants Association."
