Chapter 82: Go On Sale Afterword
I messaged the editor and asked him to arrange for me to go on sale soon. They’ve already replied—surprisingly, they approved it!
Therefore, this book will officially go on sale today at noon sharp.
Taking this opportunity, I’ll also answer some questions from the comments section:
Q1: Author, author, why did you write a transformation story? What were you thinking at the time?
A: I don’t know~ Mainly, my brain just short-circuited at the time…
Q1: No, author, you’re so handsome, you must know! Tell us quick!
A: N-No, I’m not that handsome, haha~
Actually, it’s because Qidian already has someone who wrote a male version of the Egyptian God Cards, and I’m someone who can’t write emotional scenes, let alone a harem.
Besides, Pirate King already has plenty of manly romance, so I wanted to switch angles and depict a story from the perspective of someone like a side character or observer.
Also, the author is actually a lore enthusiast.
But as you all know, Pirate King has thousands of characters and spans thousands of years, with settings details as numerous as grains of sand. Some authors really can’t catch everything, so please forgive any mistakes~
Finally, honestly, my brain really did just short-circuit at the time…
……………………
Q2: Author, what is the main theme of your story? What central point does it revolve around? And what values do you want to convey to readers? （Adjusts glasses）
A: Eh! S-Suddenly it got so formal!
Um, th-that… The theme is to pr-promote truth, goodness, and beauty （nervous）.
The story mainly revolves around the process of three different world young people helping local idealistic and ambitious capable middle-aged folks rediscover their original aspirations and realize their dreams.
The author wants to pass on to readers a healthy, sunlight-filled, positive and upward values… th-that’s it.
Cough~ No more joking.
This is actually just an ordinary story of joining the Beasts Pirates, then ordinarily helping Teacher Kai ordinarily become Pirate King.
As for why help Teacher Kai instead of the protagonists becoming Pirate King themselves… because no such worldly desires.jpg
……………………
Q3: Author, you don’t advance the main plot, side plots are lengthy, side characters fight, protagonist goes missing, full of settings, nonsensical, paragraphs are filler, writing is dragging—aren’t you just that sea king?
And what the hell was that golden three chapters?! Did we spend time to read your stinky long character settings like an old lady’s foot-binding cloth?!
A: I’m really, really sorry! I already know I was wrong!
To inform the reader Lord, this little one is handling a manuscript for the first time and truly doesn’t know how to control the pacing. I was only afraid of writing it like a account book, so I dragged the writing, opened side plots randomly, and hesitated to proceed.
I didn’t expect it to become ten chapters of pure nonsense at the start, nearly 300,000 words in one volume—such an absurd thing. I am truly ashamed.
Fortunately, heaven doesn’t abandon the longbow. Though rejected twice, it turned around, and I finally got a contract. Now going on sale, it feels like the sky is vast.
Bright sun and moon, earnest starry river. Holding your hand, together unto long joy.
Q3: You acting like giving an award speech? Still using classical Chinese! If you dare to filler more nonsensical stuff insulting my intelligence again, wait to be blasted to bits, you punk!!
A: Y-Yes. Won’t dare again…
………………
Q4: Author, why suppress combat power! Why not just keep fighting straight through, so refreshing!!
Why not directly use the damn Egyptian God Cards at a million horsepower to punch and explode the damn entire world, you punk!!!
A: Uh… because that doesn’t fit this book’s healthy, sunlight-filled, positive and upward values?
Alright, alright~ Because this is a novel after all, can’t start with 《invincible under heaven》 and then 《enemies descend from the sky》~
The reason the author set the three protagonists in their juvenile phase from the start is to let them grow along with the plot—after all, power that doesn’t match one’s mindset is very dangerous.
Power fantasy wish-fulfillment gets boring if you read it nonstop…
So I arranged Aoxi and Obei, this classic red-blue pairing, as growth-type protagonists to fight monsters and level up all the way, while pulling this max-level golden ultimate character to cover the bottom line.

Q5: Hee~ Finally, finally going on sale! Now you have to explode with updates, right?
How do you feel now, how do you feel, au·thor·kun?!
Clearly, clearly I sent you so many urging updates messages before, but you pretended not to see them…
Hey~ Do you know how I feel every day opening the bookshelf and seeing you only updated two short chapters?
Explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates, explode updates…
A: Eh? Does going on sale mean explode updates? I see some authors don’t add extras~ （nervous）
Um, actually, the author is just a small fry who can only write a thousand words a day. Updating four thousand words daily is already eating manuscript, so…
Q5: Corpse is speaking?
