Open Letter

Regarding the incident of competing for the monthly ticket list, Zhaizhu wants to say sorry to you. I didn't expect it to be so unpleasant.

When you came to me, you told me not to be angry, probably referring to the competition for the monthly ticket list at the end of the month. You didn't tell me the specific reason. I think it will be a healthy competition, so you said that whoever gets first place will treat us next time we meet.

That night, the two sides started arguing in the book review area. Looking at your single chapter, you blocked about a hundred accounts, saying it was an attacking post. I checked the backstage here, and Yemao and his team also blocked one or two hundred accounts, also posts that came to argue. The emotions of the book friends burst out, and it is inevitable to quarrel. You said it, I didn't say it, that's all.

At noon the next day, I finished the update and wrote a single chapter. In the last sentence, I wrote: "Also, fellow book lovers, don't quarrel. Reading and discussing books is what book lovers do!"

This sentence can be found. I did not modify a single chapter. The moderators Yemao and Chuanchuang on my side are maintaining the book review area. The posts they posted are also to persuade book friends not to quarrel. The posts are still there.

At one or two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Mo Chengkong's incident broke out.

Mo Chengkong is also the administrator on your side. He is not the administrator on the Shepherd's Record side, but he is very familiar with the administrators of the Shepherd's Record alliance group and knows the administrators' accounts.

There is actually a lot of overlap between the book friends of the two books. There are many book friends who support The Legend of the Shepherd, and there are also many book friends who support your book. Some book friends in the The Legend of the Shepherd alliance leader group were kicked out of your group. They talked about this in the The Legend of the Shepherd alliance leader group. Your group took some screenshots of our chats, and my alliance leader group also took some screenshots of your chats.

Chuan Chuang's post explains this very clearly. What the alliance leader group manager means is that both sides are fighting for monthly votes. There are people who support one side, and it is not appropriate to fight in the same group. It is best to ask the book friends who support your side to leave the group for the time being.

The manager spoke a little aggressively, using pop-up windows to send messages to all employees, which might have irritated Mo Chengkong, a fellow book friend.

Book friend Mo Chengkong is also an old leader of The Shepherd's Record. He started kicking people out using the administrator account, but when he kicked the founder of the leader group, he failed and was discovered, so he was kicked out.

I waited for this matter from two o'clock to eight o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no movement from your side, and the leaders of the alliance group did not tell me about this matter. They didn't know that I was peeking at the screen.

After eight o'clock, I posted a separate chapter at the end of the chapter, mentioning Mo Chengkong and the words spy and traitor.

It was my inconsiderateness.

A spy is someone who infiltrates from outside, while a traitor is someone who comes from within. The two words have different meanings.

At 8:30 in the evening, you asked me to change the spy, and I changed it, but I also said that I was not targeting anyone but the matter itself. Mo Chengkong did it, so I must keep him.

As for Mo Chengkong kicking the leader, I am not blaming the person for the incident, and I may be sorry to Mo Chengkong.

It was very hard to build the group of alliance leaders for The Record of the Shepherd God. The alliance leaders were accumulated since Rebirth in Journey to the West, and many alliance leaders were accumulated during the period of The Supreme Humanity. When The Record of the Shepherd God started to be uploaded, these alliance leaders who had followed all the way gave more than thirty rewards in one go on the first day of update. I can’t remember exactly.

What these old friends brought to Shepherd's Records was not a thousand yuan, but great popularity. Without the support of these old book friends, the popularity of Shepherd's Records would drop a lot.

If the alliance leader group is disbanded, it will be difficult for the big guys to get together again. After all, the alliance leaders are all rich people. You kicked me out, why should I risk my face to return to your group?

The results of ten years of hard work may vanish in one day.

Will they support my next book? Not necessarily.

So I have to hang Mo Chengkong at the end of the chapter. I can delete the word spy, but I can't delete the word traitor. I also apologized to the leaders who were kicked out in the book review area, and the post can also be found.

Last night when we were having dinner, you brought up Mo Chengkong’s matter, and first said that what Mo Chengkong did was wrong, and he cried like an idiot.

Then you said that Chuan Chuang and Ye Mao were untrustworthy, saying that they were stirring up trouble and that they brought hundreds of people to flood your book review area. You probably meant to suggest that I kick them out and kick them out of management.

But there are also hundreds of people spamming my screen. It’s Chuanchuang Yemao and others who are deleting posts and banning accounts in the background. Hundreds of accounts are hanging in the background.

Chuan Chuang and Ye Mao became book friends and managers of the book "The Supreme Humanity", and have been following it until The Shepherd God's Records, which has been three or four years now.

I let them manage the book review section, QQ group, WeChat group, and alliance leader group of The Shepherd's Diary.

I am a lazy person and only chat with book friends once or twice a month. There are many book friends whom I have never chatted with, even the alliance leaders. The Golden Alliance Lord Mo Wen and Alliance A have chatted less than ten sentences together. They became alliance leaders when they were in the Supreme Humanity era.

A Alliance also helped me to get on the monthly ticket list during the Humanitarian Supreme period. At that time, the subscription of Humanitarian Supreme was only more than 2,000, which increased to more than 6,000 in one month, and now it is more than 9,000.

Alliance leader Jun Mo Wen rewarded a golden alliance during the tenth anniversary celebration. I didn't know about this beforehand, but Chuan Chuang and Ye Mao knew about it and told me later.

Actually, I have a little social phobia and I am afraid to chat with others. It was Chuan Chuang and Ye Mao who invited A Alliance to help when Ren Dao Zhi Zun was the most lonely, and invited Jun Mo Wen Alliance to help during the tenth anniversary celebration. I have always been grateful to A Alliance and Jun Alliance, and also to Chuan Chuang and Ye Mao.

I can't possibly kick Chuanchuang and Yemao out of management. I rely on them to maintain so many readers. If I kick them out, how will my readers look at me? How many thousands of readers will be lost? Tens of thousands?

Will the performance of The Shepherd's Tale plummet? Will the next book become a crying nerd pig?

You studied management and worked as a senior executive in a state-owned enterprise. You should know what consequences the company will face if a person in charge kicks out the backbone of the team and then kicks out the people who get things done.

I hope you don't know. I tell you, honestly, if my book friend did something to disband the alliance leader group, I would never stand on his side, no matter how much money he gave me.

I hope you can think from my perspective.

You continued talking about the window-piercing and night owl.

At that time, I really wanted to say that a large part of our book friends overlap, and I also have book friends who support you in making trouble. If I kick out Night Owl and Window Climber, can you kick out your management?

Brother, Mo Chengkong was still working as a manager at your place yesterday.

It's just that I'm not good at socializing and couldn't say it out loud.

I studied sociology, social psychology, psychology, and economics in college. One summer vacation, the professor assigned us an assignment to observe every person on a train and analyze their occupations and family composition. I talked to more than 20 passengers in the carriage, and my analysis was about 80% correct.

The more I understand human psychology, the more I hate socializing. After ten years of writing, I finally turned myself into a socially phobic otaku, immersed in my own fantasy world, and writing my fantasies to readers.

I have always thought that it is not appropriate for the author to personally take action to criticize others. After all, he makes a living by writing, and it is not good to use words to curse others.

I have had conflicts before and have experienced several conflicts.

I don't go to the forum often, but I registered very early. When Jingguan and others were fighting, I was the salted fish who shouted "Six Six Six". Later, my account was lost after the version was changed, and I never found it again. I go to check it out occasionally. The design inspiration of the disabled old village in the Shepherd's Record actually came from watching other people chatting in that forum after I finished the book "The Supreme Humanity".

There are both praises and criticisms of my book in the forum. Some people say that it was based on the opening of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and copied this book or that book. I won't tell them that I copied them. The score of The Shepherd's Notes on Youshu Library is not high, only more than 6 points. Some people like to criticize me. I wanted to respond, but I couldn't find my account and was too lazy to register, so I had to give up. Later, I found that many people still liked The Shepherd's Notes and praised it for being well written. I couldn't help but feel lucky that I didn't start a fight.

At the end of Rebirth Journey to the West, I tore up a novel about prehistoric times, believing that if one does not strive for progress and does not change his mindset, he will eventually fall into decline. My editor scolded me, and I deleted it.

When I was competing with Heitu Maioqingyan for the Sanjiang List, I was so angry that I said something about vote-rigging, but that was all I said. Later, I felt very sorry for Heitu and wondered if he is still writing books.

I still remember gulong who gave me great encouragement when I was writing Rebirth of Journey to the West, the wandering toad, the lonely wolf king in Savage Throne, the heartbroken world in Unrivaled in the World, the perfume in Emperor, and the wild goose that always liked to guess the plot in Humanity Supreme.

I don’t like to quarrel with others. When traditional authors scold me on Weibo, I just watch.

When you mentioned me in a single chapter or in our WeChat author group, I just watched quietly.

Your average subscription is very high, 68,000. My Shepherd's Diary and all the books I wrote in the past ten years combined are not as high as yours. I admire you very much.

But it is wrong to measure average subscriptions by money. After The Shepherd's Notes was listed on the sales list, the editor told me that the daily sales were 48,000 yuan, and the daily sales of QQ Bookstore and the browser together were 18,000 yuan, so it should be 20,000 yuan now.

If we calculate the average subscription, The Shepherd's Notes still has fewer subscriptions than your book, but not by much.

Of course, the money that falls into my hands should not be much.

I'm so ashamed, how did it become showing off wealth?

Don’t talk about money, it hurts feelings.

It is also possible that there will be no emotion in the competition for the monthly ticket list.

When I was writing The Shepherd's Story, I was reading the complete works of Wang Yangming and used many of his ideas. Wang Yangming said something before he left.

There is no good or evil in the nature of the mind, but there are good and evil intentions in the actions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and avoiding evil is the study of things.

Let us encourage each other.

These are the last two days of the monthly ticket list. I don’t ask for monthly tickets anymore, please.

Respect.
