Words Upon Release (A Must-Read for Those Awaiting Future Chapters)

From today onward, "Biochemical Soldier King" will officially be available for purchase, meaning that from now on, you’ll need to pay to read the subsequent chapters.

Before anyone gets upset, let me explain: according to Black Rock’s pricing, a chapter of three thousand words costs just a little over one dime. Once the book is on the shelf, I guarantee a daily minimum update of ten thousand words, which comes to a little more than fifty cents per day.

Of these fifty-odd cents, the website takes half, leaving me with about thirty cents. For that thirty cents, I have to write ten thousand words, which usually takes me about seven to eight hours.

I sincerely hope you won’t begrudge this small sum and will continue to support me as you always have, because I am a professional writer—this is how I make my living.

Over these many days, I want to thank each of you who have accompanied me and this book. Without you, there would be no such achievements. Here, I bow deeply to you all.

I know that once the book becomes paid, many readers will choose to leave, and for that, I also want to say thank you. On countless solitary nights, it was your support that kept me under the lamplight, driving my pen forward. Though I wrote "Biochemical Soldier King," half of it belongs to you as well.

Let me share a bit about myself. I am a man past thirty, the father of a three-year-old child. I first encountered online literature around 2010 and have now been writing for six years, trying my hand at various genres with fair success.

This book has been a labor of love. From conceptualizing, to shaping the characters, to weaving together the main storyline and subplots, my study walls are covered in little notes, each one mapping out the threads of this story.

As a professional writer, the pressure is immense. Last October, I fell into severe depression and anxiety, and more than once considered ending it all. I transformed from an outgoing person into someone living only in my own world.

Even now, I rely on medication each day, but I have no regrets.

I once had a decent job, with a stable income and benefits, and even held the position of regional general manager.

But I was never happy. Every day, I wore a mask, navigating complex relationships, doing things I hated, and smiling at people I didn’t like, saying things I didn’t mean. I truly disliked the person I had become.

One night, after getting thoroughly drunk, I calmed down and asked myself what I really wanted.

I made a bold decision: I would be true to myself. I didn’t want to waste my life; I wanted to live with purpose.

So, I submitted my resignation to the head office.

What followed was misunderstanding and opposition from my family. People at work asked me what I’d do next, how I could leave such a good job.

I said, “I want to write.”

Laughter erupted, loud and mocking. They ridiculed my dream.

What hurt most was hearing this from my own family. They said I was finished from that day on.

I cried alone, deeply and painfully.

But the next morning, I wiped away my tears and still greeted the first rays of sunlight with a smile.

Because when everyone else was laughing at my dream, something kept smiling at me—that thing was my dream itself.

There’s a saying I love: “Life is like Angry Birds. When you haven’t succeeded, there’s always a group of pigs laughing at you. The best way to make them shut up is to hurl yourself forward with all your strength!”

Please support me, support my dream, and help me keep moving forward with a smile.

A little over fifty cents a day, just ten to twenty yuan a month—anyone can afford that. Many just find it troublesome.

But honestly, it’s not difficult at all. Black Rock allows third-party logins—just use QQ, WeChat, or Weibo to log in and top up your account. With just a few dozen yuan, you can read this book, which I expect will reach over a million words, from start to finish.

Being a professional writer is a bit like being a merchant. They sell goods; I sell words. The price of a single cabbage is enough to read for two days, but for me, it’s the greatest affirmation.

Please continue to support me—I, Sirius, am counting on you!

Below, I’ll list some simple ways to top up your account. It only takes a few seconds:

1. First, you need a Black Rock account. You can log in with QQ, Weibo, or Baidu Tieba—quick and easy.
2. Whether you’re on a computer or mobile, click on “Top Up” at the top, then choose your payment method. If you’re a student without online banking, you can use a phone card (sold at newsstands and service centers) or a game card (available at internet cafes).

Let me briefly explain the pros and cons of each payment method:

First, Alipay top-up—this is the most economical, at a 1:100 ratio. I use this method myself. If you don’t have online banking, you can call 95188, Alipay customer service. Once connected, press 1, then 0. The service representative will guide you through everything.

Second, online banking top-up—also at a 1:100 ratio and not difficult to use.

Third, Tenpay top-up—also at a 1:100 ratio. I haven’t used Tenpay myself, so I can’t offer much advice.

The following options are less ideal:

Fourth, mobile SMS top-up—this is at a 1:40 ratio, the worst deal. Best to avoid it.

Fifth, mobile recharge cards, including Shenzhouxing, Unicom, Telecom, and Mobile—all at a 1:85 ratio. Convenient and acceptable.

Sixth, game cards—most brands are supported, but beware: the QQ coin card is not the same as QQ coins. Don’t mix them up.

After topping up, you become a VIP user and receive three free recommendation votes daily! I hope you’ll give them all to me.

You can also choose auto-subscribe to save the hassle of subscribing to each chapter individually. Once you’ve subscribed, rereading is free.

Additionally, I think WeChat Pay is now available as well.

If you have any questions about topping up, you can contact customer service at QQ 2984543729 or 2814551419, call 010-82156292, or mobile 13661073712.

Lastly, to make communication easier, here is the book’s reader group:
June Sirius Reader Group 426825756

You’re all welcome to join. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me there. Thank you all for your support—I’m counting on you!

Oh, and one last thing about the update schedule: after the book goes on sale, there will be at least three updates daily, totaling a minimum of ten thousand words. If the data is good, I’ll post extra updates from time to time. Updates will be around noon, six in the evening, and nine at night.
