Although he died of ambition and courage, he still returned home, but it made people see further hope and possibility.

As long as they still have ambition and courage, they will definitely become better and stronger in the future. But if they always stay rich, they may not even be able to qualify for the World Cup in the future.

This plot also echoes the World Cup plot four years ago.

This is still the consistent theme of "growth" in this book.

Growth never stops, at least not until the end of this book.

Compared with four years ago, they have grown.

But growth is not enough, they need to continue to grow.

In addition, this is also a kind of "mysophobia" of mine - if I grow up just once and win a championship or something, that would be too perfunctory, right?

What's the difference between this and the director forcing a reversal when he says "it needs to be reversed"?

During the World Cup storyline, I saw many readers leaving messages optimistic about the Chinese team winning the championship.

The mood is understandable, but judging from the plot and description settings in the book, the Chinese team has not yet reached the point where it can transform from a team that failed to qualify for the group stage to a championship-winning team in four years...

Not to mention winning the championship, it is impossible for the favorites to win the championship.

No matter how strong Hu Lai is, he can't carry the whole game by himself.

His characteristics are destined to require the cooperation and help of his teammates. If his teammates are not strong enough, then he will not be able to perform 100%. Therefore, it is normal to have two performances in the national team and in the club team.

In the next four years, it is not actually Hu Lai who will become stronger, but his teammates in the national team.

Become stronger in all aspects, from mentality to strength.

Some readers said that they were upset when they saw they lost to the Dutch team in the end and were eliminated.

It's right to be upset.

It shows that my Chinese team has been quite successful.

After all, if you really like a team, you will definitely not be able to laugh when your favorite team loses.

If you had a chance of winning but lost in the end, you should be upset.

Therefore, the growth of the characters in the book can be made more powerful, and the final success can be more believable.

Only when you are unwilling to give up and refuse to admit defeat will you want to become stronger.

For me, the past year, generally speaking, is no different from the past two years. I have been coding and writing "", and my life has remained the same. Three years have passed.

My children have all gone from first grade to fourth grade.

Sometimes when I look back, I feel that the past three years have gone by so fast.

A book's time... so many things are happening in the world.

Many changes have also taken place in my life.

However, these changes are all compared with three years ago. If we only look at last year, it can be said that there are no changes.

Except for the last month.

Because I had Yang in the last month, my whole family also had Yang.

In the pain of illness, I thought a lot about the world, and also made some thoughts and plans about my own life.

I’ll leave these to you when I finish this review.

In short, thanks to everyone for not giving up, even though the external environment has been turbulent and turbulent in the past three years.

I can also stay in my own little world, make up stories for everyone, and support myself and my whole family.

I belong to that group of "vested interests" who are least affected by the epidemic.

But it’s hard to say what the future will be like.

After all, I am a fat man with underlying diseases. After losing protection, my own health, the health of my family, and my ability to create will all be affected to a greater or lesser extent.

There is no way to think about the future without thinking about it.

Let me finish writing this book first.

There is only one last volume left in this book, and the number of words will not be too many. It will certainly not reach one million words like this volume. I made a rough estimate myself, which is about three to four hundred thousand words.

According to my speed, I finished it in more than two months.

So I will say goodbye to everyone completely probably in April this year.

However, considering my physical and mental condition, it may be postponed until May.

After all...what if it's sunny again?

It just so happens that I finished the book in March, my 20th anniversary in the industry, so it will probably be difficult.

But this is still the best gift I have given to myself for the 20th anniversary of my entry into the industry, and it is also given to you.

The average order for this book so far is close to 9,600, and I hope to reach 10,000 before the book is finished.

For me, that is also a very good gift.

But I don’t know if it can be done. After all, in reality, after the World Cup, the growth in average bookings has been very slow.

For a novel with nearly 7 million words and more than 2,000 chapters, it is difficult to increase the average subscription by one.

It might be easier if I could combine the two updates I usually make every day into one chapter...

It's not like I haven't considered it.

However, it is a bit difficult for me to adjust the update rhythm when the book is almost finished.

So although I really hope everyone can help me, I don't expect it too much.

Anyway, let it go.

From the average order of 1,200 when it was first launched, to the average order of more than 9,000 now, it has been much better.

After all, in the beginning, I just hoped that this book could pass the 3,000-digit premium line...

I am very proud that so many people like this fictional story without familiar teams and stars.

Finally, since not even a word of content in the new volume has been written, and there are a lot of competitions coming next, there will definitely be three updates.

So I took a few days off and let me save the manuscript first.

I can't promise the specific number of days to wait for the update to resume. Anyway, I will let everyone know by posting a single chapter one day in advance.

Thank you for your understanding and tolerance, let us make the final journey a success.
