The Earth People are so Fierce

It's time to say "goodbye" to everyone.

Whenever a work ends, it is always very sad, as if I am about to part ways with my classmates and friends who have been together for several years.

And every time I write to the end, no matter how much I think about starting and ending well, I will always leave regrets of one kind or another.

Not to mention, there seemed to be more reluctance and regret this time.

I just want to take this opportunity to chat with you a few more words about the creation process of "People on Earth Are Too Ferocious", and "under ideal conditions", the original appearance of this work-I hope it can be made up to some extent, Lao Niu in the text lack of.

It was three and a half years ago, in February and March of 2020, that I first thought of creating such a work with the theme of "city crossing".

At that time, he was also impacted, shocked, and inspired by some people and things, which made Lao Niu firm in his belief that as long as all the people in a "City of Heroes" can unite as one, if they are united as one, all difficulties will be solved. Can't help us.

Even if we have traveled to a different world on the other side of the star sea, no matter how many monsters and ghosts and hardships we have to face, we can overcome obstacles and move forward bravely until the final victory. At least in a vigorous decisive battle, we will shine the most brilliant light!

Adhering to this original intention, the creation of the first year went smoothly.

Although the results are not as good as "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation", compared with the previous "Aura of Impressiveness", it can be regarded as a relatively large improvement. If you write down consistently and easily in this way, and maintain a certain update rhythm and quantity, you will not be disappointed. Speaking of creating greater glories, it is absolutely no problem to support a family in Hukou.

However, everything is afraid of nothing.

However, people change.

Human thoughts are like flickering flames, undergoing irregular and thrilling changes all the time.

The me of yesterday is not the me of today, nor the me of tomorrow.

In fact, as a super long online novel with more than 5 million words, the creation cycle is often as long as two to three years or even longer. Such a long cycle, body, work, family, external environment... There are too many interference factors Too much, change is the norm, and losing one's ambitions has become a kind of luck or even a miracle.

During the three years of writing "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation", Lao Niu was very lucky.

No matter my physiology or psychology, or the surrounding small and big environment, nothing has changed much, which enabled me to burn a hot initial heart until the last moment.

During the three years of writing "People on Earth Are Too Fierce", Lao Niu was not so lucky, and unfortunately he did not keep his original intention.

I no longer believe it.

At least not 100% anymore.

I no longer believe that all people in a city can be united and united just because they are all "human beings".

I no longer believe that all heroes can lose their ambitions and die in the face of absolute power or temptations more terrifying than power.

I no longer believe that there is a "perfect answer" that can solve all problems and save cities and entire civilizations.

I no longer, no longer believe in human beings with all my heart, without reservation, with all my heart.

No, I have never been disappointed with humanity and civilization.

On the contrary, I have never wanted to praise human civilization, and its brightest stars—the greatness of its selfless, courageous, and brilliant heroes—as never before.

As I said in the main text, only a few hundred thousand years ago, our ancestors were still a group of apes who had not yet shaved their hair.

Today, their descendants are able to send sophisticated man-made objects weighing several tons into space, and out of the grasp of our star, the colossal sun that created almost everything.

What a miracle, what an encouragement!

However, everything has a limit.

Humans evolved from apes, and almost every cell in their bodies is designed to survive on the earth—this small mud ball tightly wrapped in a thick and dense atmosphere and calm.

When we gradually break free from gravity and try to march into the depths of the star sea, our flesh and blood body, which has evolved from trilobites to dinosaurs to apes, can stand the test? What is its limit? Where is it?

If so, the earth is its limit.

If the next stage of evolution of human civilization means that we must abandon this bloated, obsolete, redundant, and sloppy body, and even abandon all legal ethics and social operation logic based on this body design, and become unrecognizable and change It becomes deformed and distorted, and it is no longer a human being—just like the fish that first landed, in order to survive better, they have to draw a line with their counterparts in the ocean and become different fish.

If this is the case, then how can an old city full of old morals, old laws and old heroes survive in the new world on the other side of the star sea, and even survive all battles and have the last laugh?

This idea, of course, is ridiculous.

But it is like a poisonous snake covered in mucus, firmly entrenched in the depths of my brain, lingering.

A different author—an author who is more professional and mature—may not mind this little annoyance.

Why does the author's idea have to be consistent with the theme expressed in the work? In reality, it is the normal state of creation to write with awe-inspiring righteousness, or vice versa.

But I can't.

Everyone should be very clear about this.

It is clear that Lao Niu's creative skills are no skills, all rely on emotion.

I believe that there are few readers or no readers at all. It is because of the gorgeous rhetoric, refined writing, and thousands of characters... and other reasons, I read Lao Niu's novels.

Everyone likes Lao Niu because I am true and pure enough, and the road is straight and straight, that's all.

And Lao Niu's greatest enjoyment in creation is to show everyone his true self clearly and unreservedly, and the unparalleled pleasure generated by it.

To put it bluntly, Lao Niu made dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.

Now that the vinegar is sour, how can you make dumplings with ease, joy and heart?

This was around the beginning of 2022.

At that time, of course, Lao Niu also made many attempts and efforts, trying to re-condense the fragmented original intention, and be worthy of the real gold and silver that everyone supports Lao Niu.

It's a pity that something in the heart is the most unreasonable.

Just like the guy who is over half a century old, whether he is straight or straight, rigid or soft, he can't help himself at all, it's all determined by God.

In addition to changes in mentality, physical health is also one of the important reasons that affect creation.

Lao Niu started coding at the age of twenty.

It was a period of youth that was as hard as iron. Regardless of the quality of the article, let’s play for a whole day, start coding at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, finish 10,000 codes at four or five o’clock in the morning, take a nap for three to five hours, and be alive and well again. One of the heroes-this was once a common thing that Lao Niu took for granted!

This year the old cow is forty.

All kinds of bad habits accumulated in the past twenty years of coding career are launching the most vicious revenge on me.

Not to mention staying up all night coding, even sitting motionless at a desk for an hour in broad daylight is a very serious test for the old cow's cervical and lumbar spine.

In the final analysis, as Lao Niu said just now, the flesh and blood body of human beings evolved from apes was not designed for sitting at a desk for a long time and typing on the keyboard frantically.

Matter determines consciousness, perhaps, it is the accelerated consumption and burning of matter that caused the old cow's Dao heart to burst, is it unknown?

In short, for a period of time in 2022, Lao Niu was quite anxious.

Years of full-time writing, a single source of income, and a lack of work experience in other industries make the risk tolerance of middle-aged veterans particularly worrying.

Let alone whether the broken Dao heart can be re-condensed, even if it can be, who knows how long it will take, a year and a half or three to five years, what to eat and drink during the period, how to support the wife and children, and support the elderly?

Therefore, when a friend invited Lao Niu to participate in a grand event in 2022 and start a career, even though he knew that it would have a certain impact on the creation of "People on Earth Are Too Ferocious", Lao Niu weighed it again and again and decided to do it. Sorry for the reader's choice.

The result is that in the later stage of the creation of this book, the update was really not satisfactory. With the patter of two thousand words every day, Lao Niu felt ashamed to see Jiangdong's elders. Dearest brothers and sisters, my sincerest apologies.

You know, when this book was originally conceived, Lao Niu was planning to write three whole chapters—"Dragon City Chapter", "Alien World Chapter", and "Xinghai Chapter", from the Dragon City to conquer the alien world, and then from the alien world to the whole world. Pie Xinghai, written more than five million words today, in fact, it is only the end of the "Dragon City Chapter". More than a dozen cities on the earth traveled to the four corners of the star sea, and each had a chance, and the whimsy and whimsy after separate development were not fully displayed!

I have no choice but to wait for the next book to have a chance, and then travel together with you, one after another, into infinitely wonderful new worlds.

Finally, talk about Lao Niu's next plan.

Let me tell you a good news first.

That is, after more than a year of career, Lao Niu found that he really did not have any talent for career.

Ever since, Lao Niu has recovered again, and in a good way, he is in the state of "full-time writer".

Sprinkle flowers to celebrate, clap clap clap!

So, you don’t have to worry that Lao Niu will give up his picks and quit—although it seems that he said a lot of discouraged words just now, but making money, isn’t that how it is, working while complaining, and it counts wherever you go!

Having said that, when a person reaches middle age, he really can't act like a silly boy in his twenties with strong firepower.

If you were gearing up from the very beginning, complacent, and insisted on writing a super-long novel with five million or even ten million words, Lao Niu estimated that in all likelihood, you would repeat the same mistakes.

So, dear brothers and sisters, let Lao Niu spend more time slowly, summing up the experience and lessons - after all, he has not had a good rest, reflection, and refinement for seven or eight years. If he wants to continue to create for twenty years If it is even longer, it is very necessary to go back to the furnace and recast it, and try again and again.

Lao Niu believes, and of course hopes, that in the near future, he will be able to meet you again with a completely new attitude, and come up with some works that have a tight rhythm, cut through the mess quickly, and finish cleanly before the energy is exhausted.

At that time, Lao Niu and all my dear brothers and sisters will have a good time with each other, join hands and go forward bravely!
