People are in Xingtie, and I am their dead white moonlight?

As the title says, this book now has a little over 120,000 words, and it's time to put it on the shelves~

To be honest, as a level 5 author who fled from foreign countries, I have been prepared to write two or three books on Maomao before I can start to achieve some results.

First of all, there is the difference between the sites. One is a free site and the other is a paid site. The environment between the two websites is so different that I have too many things to adapt to.

For example, what do readers want to read, what kind of relationships do they want to see unfold, is there a need for a new plot here, a deeper plot there, etc.

These questions kept bothering me while I wrote the first 80,000 words, so there was the academic discussion in the middle where people said the main plot didn't seem like a main plot and the emotional line didn't seem like a emotional line.

To be honest, after more than a year in the industry, I still can’t write such a plot (bitter smile), maybe it’s because I don’t have a high degree of recognition for this kind of plot (shrug)

However, I am thankful that I have almost figured it out now, and I have a deeper understanding of the plot of this book, which at least can ensure that my subsequent ideas for explosive updates will not decline.

Secondly, I made some changes to the simulator text. I tried to use the concept of "protagonist's past = simulation content" to iterate the "abrupt brainwashing feeling" unique to the simulator text.

That's why I placed the Black Tower in front of the simulation content so that she could witness it all with her own eyes.

Of course, there are some changes in the traditional writing structure of the simulator. I choose to use a lot of text description to iterate the lazy writing style of traditional simulator articles that like to fill in the outline in [].

I discussed this point with many of my author friends before I started writing. Actually, if you think about it carefully...this state of filling in the outline is actually a devastating blow to the sense of immersion.

But because everyone has been writing in the outline format, it has become a consensus.

When I decided to give it a try, I was prepared for it to not be accepted by others, but... things didn't seem as bad as I thought.

Some readers also asked me about my main account. In fact, the account that has been active in the book review area is mine, and the nickname is my pen name. Just search it on Yangshizi.

I have written four books in total, and each of them has maintained more than 20 readers during the subscription period, two of which are Star Iron fan fictions and two are Genshin Impact fan fictions.

My latest Genshin Impact fan fiction has a maximum readership of 52, with a maximum daily readership of 6. It ranked tenth on the male gift list in July last year and was the second book in the Yangshizi Genshin Impact fan fiction section to achieve this achievement.

OK! Now that we've finished talking about the book, let's talk about what everyone is most concerned about—post-release updates.

On the day of release, which is Friday, March 14th, I will release 3 words, totaling ten chapters, around 2 p.m.

As for the update volume after the release... I will guarantee 8,000 words, which is about four chapters a day (confidence from an author who has written 3 million words in the past year).

(In addition, I will also be live-streaming and typing, and I will post my B-station nickname in the thread. Readers are welcome to supervise.)

In addition to these two points, I will also offer a first-order bounty and an unlimited bounty.

If the first order on the day of listing exceeds 1500, I will add ten chapters during the first month of listing (March 3.14th-April 4.14th).

If the first order exceeds 2000, 20 more chapters will be added.

If the first order exceeds 3000——Forget it, it’s impossible. My highest follow-up reading is less than 3000 (bitter smile)

As for the unlimited bounty, since the rewards on Yangshizi next door are calculated based on the rewards, I will use this method to convert it first.

100刀片=100r打赏=100月票，满足其中任意一个条件就加更一章，白银箱5章，黄金箱16章（一章=2000字）

There may not be a reward, but there must be a reward. What if it is realized?

Well, that's about all I have to say. Thank you all for reading this far. I'll see you tomorrow at 2pm~

Chapter 53: The Black Tower That Never Had a Birthday (1/10)

Many things in this world only have the zeroth and the countlessth time.

For Heita, reading academic materials or taking a nap on Jiang Mo's thighs belong to this type of event.

Before doing this, she had been extremely hesitant, but after she took the first step, she couldn't stop wanting this extremely unique feeling.

No scholar would refuse a place where he can take a good rest and concentrate on his research.

——Even the Black Tower is the same.

Feeling the warmth coming from the back of his head, Heita gently put down the academic materials in his hand and looked at the black eyes that were also pondering the mathematical model.

"Jiang Mo, tell me...why do the people on that commercial street always celebrate things like 'anniversaries' and other weird holidays?"

"To be realistic, they are doing it for higher sales; to be romantic, they are celebrating the number of years their brainchild has spent in this world."

Jiang Mo answered quite honestly.

"Do we need a commemorative event like... 'One Year Anniversary of Meeting'?"

When Jiang Mo heard Heita's words, he was stunned at first. He thought Heita was joking.

But when he saw the seriousness in those crimson eyes, he realized that Black Tower was not joking.

She means it.

Jiang Mo thought for a moment, then gave an equally serious answer.

"It's up to you. If you want, we can always prepare one. If I remember correctly... three days from now is the day we will meet for the first time?"

"Then how about preparing one and trying it out? After all, I haven't experienced anything like this before."

"Okay~ Since it's your request, I will definitely do my best to fulfill it."

As he spoke, Jiang Mo gently rubbed Heita's little head, and she closed her eyes obediently, as if she was a kitten enjoying the process of combing her hair.

Looking at the obedient Black Tower in his arms, Jiang Mo finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart.

How could such a well-behaved black tower cat become a yandere?

As long as he's careful with Black Tower's interactions, and doesn't let his "Bewitching Tongue" ability activate, which would significantly accelerate Black Tower's radicalization...

I guess that future involving hatchets and basements is completely out of my reach.

Thinking of this, the expression on Jiang Mo's face became more relaxed. Just when he was about to ask Heita if he planned to eat something special on the anniversary... his cell phone suddenly rang.

beep-

Hearing the familiar sound of the alarm clock, the girl who was originally lying on Jiang Mo's lap slowly straightened up, as if she knew what he was going to do next.

"Is it time for lunch?"

"Well, I'll go prepare lunch first. We can discuss the anniversary matters during lunch."

"it is good."

After saying that, Heita got off the bed quite obediently and sat back at the desk.

Her bare legs were swinging rhythmically, and it was obvious that she was in a really good mood at that moment.

"This girl..."

Looking at the white calves that kept swinging, Jiang Mo shook his head with a mixture of laughter and tears, as if he was a little surprised by the Black Tower's easy-to-satisfy nature.

But he didn't say much. After all, the fact that the Black Tower was satisfied meant that Yandere Hatchet's ending was very far away from his own, and there were only benefits and no disadvantages.

......

Jiang Mo walked back and forth in the kitchen of the mansion, preparing today's lunch.

For Jiang Mo now, preparing lunch is the easiest job, no doubt about it.

After all, Heita is not picky about food at all. He will eat whatever he cooks, without any hesitation.

But when it comes to food outside, Heita has quite high requirements.

When it comes to desserts, she has very strict requirements on the sweetness level; when it comes to cooking, she pays close attention to the freshness of the ingredients and the amount of seasoning...

All in all, after almost a year of getting along, Heita's attitude towards food has changed dramatically.

As for this "accepting everything" directed at him... Jiang Mo felt that this was a manifestation of trust.

"Hiss, if that's the case, can I use the Black Tower to try the food?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo's hand that was flipping the steak suddenly stopped, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Although it's a bit of a betrayal to let Heita eat some weird food, but...

If I could see Black Tower's other emotions like this, it wouldn't be a bad thing, right?

After a brief thought, Jiang Mo put this idea into his to-do list, waiting for a relatively suitable opportunity to let Heita experience the dangers of society.

Of course, this opportunity definitely cannot be an anniversary.

After all, the first anniversary is of great significance to Heita. If he jokes about something like this...

He just felt that he deserved to die.

"But... then again, Heita said he had no experience with any similar anniversaries. I've been here for almost a year, and I've never heard Heita mention his birthday. Could it be that..."

"Could it be possible that this poor little thing hasn't even had a birthday in its entire life?!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo looked at the butler robot that had already started to help him clean up the mess in the kitchen - this mechanical brain that was in charge of the life in the Black Tower before he came must know something.

"Mr. Butler, let me ask you something. Has Heita... never had a birthday?"

"Definitely. Miss Heita's parents are often away from home for years, so it's normal for them not to be home for several years. Miss Heita doesn't have many friends, so she has no idea what's going on."

"Also, Ms. Heita's birthday is marked in two days on the electronic calendar."

"But since there is no directly relevant memory data, if the tutor intends to prepare a birthday for Miss Heita, I cannot provide any effective data to help—"

Before the butler robot could finish a complete sentence, Jiang Mo decisively interrupted its spell casting process.

"Thank you, no need."

Now he would never trust any decision made by a robot, even if their reasons were very sufficient.

Because these guys are too rational, so rational that they don't consider any emotional factors, the results they get will of course be weird.

Besides, at this stage, Jiang Mo was the one who knew the Black Tower best, bar none. Why would he need to rely on the power of robots? Wouldn't that be superfluous?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo nodded slightly, flipping the steak in the frying pan unconsciously while thinking about what new work to do for Heita next.

After a while, he raised his head slightly and whispered to the robot beside him:

"Add a few things to your next shopping list—fresh strawberries, bread and cake flour, heavy cream, and ready-made strawberry jam."

"By the way, do you have piping skills? If not, bring me about five piping bags."

"Okay, the new purchase order has been received. If necessary, I can download the decoration module from the cloud now."

"Okay, I won't bother you, old man. Just prepare the things for me."

Jiang Mo curled his lips, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this old antique that had to download all functions from the cloud.

However, he himself did not intend to rely on this guy to do anything. As long as he had no hope, there would be no such thing as disappointment.

"Oh, right," Jiang Mo seemed to have suddenly thought of something, "Don't tell Heita about this. Although she probably won't ask, if she does, just say it's ingredients prepared for the anniversary."

"Received. The corresponding purchase reason has been corrected from "Birthday Preparation" to "Anniversary Preparation."

"Also, this steak in your pot is already well-done. If you maintain this position for another fifteen seconds, it will become rare, or burnt."

"? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Chapter 54 You Ask, I Answer (2/10)

Just when Jiang Mo was arguing with the artificial idiot over a piece of steak that was almost burnt... outside the sliding door of the kitchen, a petite figure slowly leaned against the wall.

She raised her head slightly, her crimson eyes fixed on the chandelier in the living room, and after a while she murmured softly:

"Birthday...huh?"

From birth to now, Heita has never had a birthday.

Her parents were busy with work, and her peers treated her like a plague and a monster to be avoided, so her birthday itself didn't seem to have much significance.

And now...

Heita turned her head slightly and looked at Jiang Mo, who was still busy in the kitchen and occasionally arguing with the robot. A rare gentle smile appeared on her face.

“Someone is already celebrating my birthday…”

Thinking of this, Heita shook his head slightly, then quickly left the kitchen and returned to his room.

Since he wanted to prepare a surprise for her, she should maintain the necessary mystery and pretend not to hear it.

"By the way, how about preparing a 'gift' for him as well?"
