Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 207

This book really moved me. The fighting spirit and enthusiasm in the book seem to have infected me. Keep it up!

It's been so tough, are we finally going to win?

Brothers and sisters, hang in there! Only after today will we truly win!

Yes, stay calm, victory is just around the corner.

This is not only an honor for the full-time team, but also an honor for us!

Looking at the comments from his fans, Kenichi Uesugi couldn't help but smile. He truly owed his current success entirely to the hard work of these lovely readers.

He also saw it. In order to win this monthly ticket ranking, they kept coming up with ideas in the group and organized various promotions. Even he, the author, couldn't match their dedication to the book's performance.

He had no way to repay them, so he could only keep writing and bringing them more wonderful content, hoping not to let their efforts go to waste.

However, after the Dark Knight re-released a new chapter, "Online Game: Overlord of the Sky" rebounded once again, regaining the top spot on the monthly ticket chart.

Before the Knights Alliance could even celebrate, "Full-Time Master" had caught up again.

Time slowly passed as the two sides repeatedly struggled.

11 PM on August 31st.

There is one hour left until September arrives today.

"There's only one hour left, and there probably won't be any more changes," an editor sighed.

Is it finally going to end? Let alone the people involved, I'm already exhausted just watching.

"The Full-Time Master" updates twenty chapters daily without interruption, and "Online Game: Overlord of the Heavens" also averages around ten chapters a day—it's truly terrifying! Don't they get tired? And what about their fans? These past few days, even in the middle of the night, the battles in the comment sections between the two authors have been incredibly heated. An editor exclaimed sincerely.

The number of monthly votes for "Full-Time Master" has reached an astonishing 46.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" currently has 44 monthly votes.

With only one hour left, there was no hope of catching up.

Even the editor-in-chief is in his office waiting for midnight to arrive.

Kenichi Uesugi sat at his computer desk, staring blankly at the webpage, his eyes occasionally glancing to the lower right corner of the screen.

Wang Ran sat at his computer desk, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

Many readers of Full-Time Master and The Legend of the Condor Heroes are also waiting at this moment.

The dozen or so book clubs in Uesugi Kenichi's hands had also quieted down, no longer noisy as usual, with everyone uniformly sending countdown messages every minute.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the hour and minute hands began to overlap, pointing to 12 o'clock.

"The King's Avatar" won!

The final number of monthly passes was over 465,000.

This set a new monthly ticket record in the online literature world.

The book, which describes the ascension to immortality, is a testament to the divine power of language.

Uesugi Kenichi finally came to his senses and couldn't help but shout.

The pressure he was under this past month was undoubtedly immense. He spent every day writing, without watching TV, movies, playing games, or going out with friends. He even ordered takeout for every meal. Even the pinky finger of his right hand was aching from working so long hours.

He was afraid, not of losing, but of letting down the readers' expectations and the book "Full-Time Master".

But now it's all finally over, and I can finally get some rest.

After posting a thank-you and reflection chapter and chatting with many fans in various book clubs, he quickly went to bed to rest.

Exhausted, he quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the back-end of the Feilu Novel website, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching the monthly ticket competition come to an end.

Editor-in-Chief Wang Jun clenched his fist tightly: "A record broken! That's amazing!"

Several editors nodded in agreement.

"The last monthly ticket record was held by Sunset's 'Eternity,' with 422563 monthly tickets," an editor remarked.

"Get ready. Have the back office create a major headline overnight to heavily promote 'The Full-Time Master,' and make it the featured novel in September. The promotion must be thorough. Create a promotional document detailing the monthly ticket competition to solidify our position as the number one platform in the online literature world," the editor-in-chief immediately ordered.

Thank you all for your hard work this month. I would like to announce that everyone will receive a generous bonus this month.

As soon as the editor-in-chief finished speaking, a cheer erupted.

Also, the contract with Yuhua Dengxian needs to be revised. Prepare it, and contact Yuhua Dengxian tomorrow to change the contract to a platinum contract. Zheng Chen, you're in charge of contacting them tomorrow. If they're not satisfied, report back to me. Keep a close eye on him; don't let other platforms poach him! Wang Jun solemnly said to Zheng Chen.

No one expected that "Full-Time Master" would actually dethrone "Online Game: Overlord".

Uesugi Ken slept until he naturally woke up. After getting up, he checked the time and it was already past 11 o'clock.

As September arrived, Kenichi Uesugi drew back the curtains, looked at the bright sky outside the window, leaned against the wall, rested his head on his hands, and just stared at it, his thoughts wandering.

It took him a long time to come to his senses.

After quickly tidying himself up, Uesugi Kenichi picked up his phone, and countless messages appeared before his eyes.

Kenichi Uesugi discovered that many authors had added him as a friend, and upon asking, he learned that they had obtained his contact information through their respective editors.

Among these was a friend request from the Dark Knight, and without hesitation, Uesugi Kenichi accepted it.

After all, the two sides had no real animosity, and apart from the website, the two of them were the biggest beneficiaries of this monthly ticket competition.

Ascending to Immortality through Language? Let me introduce myself. I am Dark Knight, the author of "Overlooking the Heavens," my real name is Wang Ran. After the verification was successful, a message arrived quickly.

Hello, I am Yu Hua Dengxian, and my real name is Uesugi Kenichi.

"Haha, we've become friends through a misunderstanding, you won't hold a grudge against me, will you?" Wang Ran said.

"Knight, what are you saying? I should be thanking you for the book's success. There's no grudge involved," Uesugi Kenichi said with a smile.

I'm relieved to hear you say that, bro. Your book is really good. I'm completely convinced of my defeat this time. Let's exchange ideas more often in the future. That's all for now. If you ever come to Tianhai, contact me and I'll treat you to a meal.

Sure, I'd love to, but I'll have to pay for the meal.

You're contradicting me, but that's what I'm saying, it's on me!

Okay, we'll talk about it later.

Okay, then I won't bother you anymore.

Wang Ran's addition of him as a friend and his polite words were somewhat unexpected for Uesugi Kenichi, but upon reflection, they made perfect sense.

After all, they'll be eating at the same place in the future. Judging from this battle for monthly tickets, it's clear that Uesugi Kenichi is no longer a newcomer, but someone who can now stand on equal footing with him.

No one would offend such an enemy without a reason.

Thinking about it this way, the Dark Knight's intentions become clear.

Nobody's a fool.

Ding-dong! A sound rang in my mind.

The dormitory's reputation value has reached one million, the mission is complete, and the reward will now be issued. Please check it promptly.

Since the host has completed the first main quest, the system will be updating in two hours. This update will last for 24 hours, during which time the system will be unavailable.

The system was usually silent, so its sudden activation startled Uesugi Kenichi.

Before he knew it, he already had 100 million reputation points. He couldn't believe how quickly this day had come. Uesugi Kenichi couldn't help but sigh.

It's only been two months and his fame has already reached one million. It doesn't seem that difficult.

"Let me see what rewards I got?" Uesugi Kenichi curiously opened the system.

One novel to choose from, three songs to choose from, one skill point, and three chances to win a prize.

Uesugi Kenjiro took a look and thought it was pretty good. He hadn't expected the system to be so generous.

"Can we not use these rewards for now?" Lin Wen asked in his mind.

Yes, there are no time restrictions on the use of the rewards; the host can choose the time themselves.

Kenichi Uesugi then asked, "So what's the use of these skill points?"

The host can choose any skill they already possess to upgrade by one level.

Wow, that seems pretty impressive. I wonder how amazing I'd be if I could take my calligraphy or guitar skills to the next level. Uesugi Kenichi thought to himself with delight.

No rush. Save your skill points for when you need them. Don't rush to choose a book either; The King's Avatar has only updated a few hundred chapters so far, it's still a long way from being finished.

However, the choice of this song didn't seem very useful to Uesugi Kenichi, as he could now reproduce many songs he had heard before after mastering the guitar.

........ ... .......

It's better than nothing, though. I'll leave it for now and use it when I need it.

"Hehe, let's do the lottery first." Uesugi Kenichi rubbed his hands together, looking excited.

"Lottery draw," Uesugi Kenichi silently thought to himself.

As before, a roulette wheel appeared in front of Uesugi Kenichi and began to spin rapidly.

The roulette wheel stopped very quickly.

Fluent in basic English.

Seeing the pointer stop, Uesugi Ken felt like he was going to vomit blood for a moment. This thing wasn't very useful to me anyway.

I rarely go abroad, and even when I travel, I hire a tour guide. I never imagined that I, who didn't learn English well before, would learn it in such a different way.

Oh no, could it be that my luck has turned sour? No, no, it must be that I wasn't prepared enough. I'll wash my hands and try again.

Uesugi Kenichi ran to the toilet, washed his hands thoroughly, and after praying to all the gods and Buddhas, he started the lottery again.

The roulette wheel reappeared, flashing by countless items that made Uesugi Kenichi's mouth water. Master-level piano playing, expert-level guzheng playing, masterful culinary skills—all these things were on display.

One item after another flashed by, and the roulette wheel gradually came to a stop.

Congratulations, host, you have obtained a bottle of basic physical fitness potion.

The host has one more lottery draw left. Would you like to use it?

Physical fitness potion, sounds pretty good. Let's keep drawing it, strike while the iron is hot, and finish it all in one go.

The items on the roulette wheel refreshed and started spinning again.

Congratulations, host, you have obtained a bottle of voice enhancement potion.

The host has used up all their lottery draws, and the items have been placed in the system inventory. The system will be updating in one hour.
