Finally another volume comes to an end, and I feel like I have fought a big battle.
The more complex the plot becomes and the more forces there are, the more difficult it becomes to weave a beautiful ending.
Next, let’s make a cup of good tea and chat with everyone about the little controversy about the plot.
Some friends think that the early climax of this volume has too much foreshadowing for Yu Zecheng and Wanqi's uncle and nephew, which seems to be redundant.
All means serve the purpose.
In fact, such doubts were raised before Uprising. At that time, it was to reflect the protagonist's planning and layout in a down-to-earth manner, so that the final blow was both earth-shattering and natural.
So what now?
Now it is to write this game of "chess" well.
Uncle Wan and Yu Zecheng both tried their best to move and perform within their abilities, but in the end they could not escape the fate of the chess pieces.
The only ones qualified to sit across from him and play chess with He Lingchuan were Shuangye Imperial Master and Wang Guoshi.
However, Shuangye Guoshi and Wang Guoshi tried their best to turn the protagonist into a chess piece in their hands.
This is a game that progresses step by step, getting higher and higher. The meaning of battle is no longer limited to the battle itself.
For the protagonist, this counter-insurgency battle and defense battle is also the first time that a new force led by him has entered the world stage and sent a signal of independence to the two major powers.
This is the first show, which is the transformation of the protagonist from an individual to a powerful force;
This is the beginning of a new era, and it is also a landmark event in the world. It is worthy of the author's pen and ink to write about the process from the beginning of the strong wind to the end of Qingping.
Through strength, means, and attitude, Yangshan Islands has been recognized by Shuangye Guoshi and Beijia. This is "independence."
Treating Mou Guo's insistence on the principle of mutual benefit and making it clear that the relationship between the two parties is not a superior-subordinate relationship, let alone a relationship between thighs and leg hair, Yangshan Islands showed "independence".
The two bosses are like this. Neighboring countries and regions, such as Bailie and Qingguo, must put down their dignity and be good to their neighbors.
The overall development situation of Yangshan Islands has been opened since then.
Therefore, what Jiufang was preparing for in the early stage was not the battle itself.
As far as the whole incident is concerned, the battle is a small chess and the game is a big chess.
Some people think they are chess players, but in fact they are just a piece of the bigger picture.
The battle is over and the game has just begun.
When you throw a pebble into still water, all you want to see is the ripples.
In fact, Xiao He in the book is playing chess, and Jiu Fang outside the book is also playing chess.
I can't look at ten steps for the next step, but I have to look at at least five steps. Only by constantly debugging and modifying back and forth can I barely achieve the desired effect.
Caution is indeed prudent, and the production volume has indeed... not kept up, so I never dare to mention rewards and extra updates. Please forgive me, bosses. Jiufang is also constantly adjusting itself. If the production can be increased, I guarantee to use extra rewards to take photos.
Monthly tickets for all the bosses, ah no, desk.
Having said this, I have also pondered over and over whether my writing is too "delicate" or "verbose"?
Looking at it in detail, this is a matter of appropriate scale.
What should be detailed and what should be omitted?
Why should a recruitment, a battle, and a game be written in such detail, as if it were real? Last time when He Lingchuan made great progress, a friend made fun of Jiufang: "This author seems to want to teach me a breakthrough."
Grandma, you made me laugh out loud.
Let me ask you a question:
When you ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and rule the world, and when all nations come to visit you, you want to say: "These are all the countries I conquered with my own hands!"
Or do you want to say: "Damn it, I'm so lucky, I traveled through time and turned out to be the emperor?"
Both are called kings and emperors, but can these two kinds of satisfaction be the same?
Can the majesty and heroism of the former kind of looking down on the world be replaced by the secret joy and pride of the latter kind?
So what's the difference?
It depends on whether there is "hands-on" or not.
The word "pretend" is used very well, and only fake ones need to be pretentious.
This pussy has no quality and its meaning is frivolous. If you don’t pretend, how can others see it? How can you be self-satisfied?
However, Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, do they need to pretend?
They are just awesome, okay?
Others may think that they are pretending to be cool every day, but in fact, this is their daily life. The original scene is so there is no need to deliberately "pretend".
Therefore, this is the focus of the whole book "The Immortal":
Fight with real swords and guns.
Such awesomeness is so natural.
In the book, Xiao Hehui overcomes obstacles and continues to grow. From making great achievements to killing all directions; from overcoming difficulties to opening up a new world.
We will work hard with him and start a business together.
Whether it is in terms of cultivation, state of mind, fighting, development, organization... we have to accompany him to overcome and solve any difficulties that cannot be overcome.
As for the author, there is no way to say that I can write this kind of writing and that kind of writing I am not good at!
History, strategy, cultivating immortality, exploration, fighting, farming... We don't shy away from any of it, and we can write whatever we need to write.
As big as fighting against the Heavenly Palace, as small as construction and recruitment, they are all in the same dimension, and they all require the protagonist to do it step by step and do it well in a down-to-earth manner.
Because there is no shortcut to success.
I hope this book can give you an immersive, saturated experience of success "as if it were real."
After talking about the "details" of my understanding, let's talk about the "brief".
We usually abbreviate repetitive events and battles, and the day-to-day farming process, such as this seven-head gift box. As I mentioned the birth date and horoscope before, everyone knows that it is the work of nightmares, so there is no need to expand it.
That is to say, all routines are written in abbreviated form, so as to take up less time and energy from everyone.
It is said that companionship is the longest confession of love. At this point in the book, are we accompanying the protagonist to grow, or is the protagonist accompanying us to progress? Is he a character in the book, or ourselves?
No need to distinguish clearly.
For Jiufang, there is no need to distinguish whether I accompany the protagonist to solve the problems he encounters, or the protagonist accompanies me to solve the problems I encounter, as long as we grow together.
As for you and me, same thing.
Let’s make progress together, thank you for having us.
