Remarks at the end of the volume (with setting remarks)
Ah - there is another chapter before this chapter, don’t miss it_(:з」∠)_
Then, the paper was finished. Well, it was not the end of the book, no, it was the end of the paper. My hands were shaking.
I have written more than half a million words, which is actually incredible. I don’t know how I persisted.
From no readers at all, to a few readers, to now a few readers.
Although my grades are very poor, I gritted my teeth and wrote while interacting with you.
I no longer play games or watch anime, but I still have to play TikTok and find some inspiration.
In this way, on the premise of ensuring work and not starving myself to death, I took a three-digit royalties and gave up most of the entertainment and a considerable part of the social life.
Back to the topic, I will put some settings at the end. Friends who are anxious can read directly to the back.
Friends who are not too anxious, just listen to my chatter.

I wonder if you have seen the title of this volume?
It’s called——Flower City Shadow
And the introduction is——
With a paper-cutting technique, the flowers are facing the wind and rain.
The words of mourning in the human world are strangely uneven.
I succeeded in basically fitting the introduction of this volume.
Paper-cutting is naturally the lifeblood of Xiao Zuo. Wind and rain are not only the effects of Zuo Dao, but also various things that exist in Huadu itself.
The poem was actually written by our good team leader, Zang Tiao.
This is not only her life experience (refer to the extra story), but also her core mysterious ability.
As for this uneven sound, it covers all aspects.
——
Our second volume is also confirmed.
I am worried that no one will find the title and introduction of the volume that I worked so hard to write, so I will write them here first.
Volume 2: The Land of Chaos
Introduction:
In this chaotic and ignorant land——
I come, I witness, I judge.
——
Well, that's our second volume.
I already have an idea of how to start the chapter, maybe in a [strange] way.
When everyone reads the first chapter of the second volume, please don’t scratch your head, just wait for the second chapter (no)——
So let’s talk about the summary of the first volume.
For plot control, I give myself a barely passing grade.
The character creation is not quite up to standard. This is my first time writing a book seriously and there are many shortcomings.
Background setting, above the passing line.
The combat power setting is above the passing line.
In terms of foreshadowing, it is slightly lacking.
The plot has ups and downs and is not very successful.
The end of the volume is a bit rushed.
This is my own evaluation, and I will improve it in all aspects in the future.
The end of the volume needs special emphasis. This is because I am not confident enough and the results are the first time I write this book. It may be better if the first volume is 800,000, but 500,000 is actually not enough. Pretty much. Generally speaking, I am always afraid of being criticized for being too long, too watery, too complicated, etc., and I am constantly pulling myself.
No matter it is the next volume or the next book, I can be more determined in the future because I have the numbers in my heart.
-
In this volume, I tried many, many writing methods, or my own ideas.
In fact, everyone should be able to see that basically every ten chapters has a different feeling, narrative, and entry point.
Some are very satisfied, some are very scared (almost unable to write), and some are stuck (almost unable to write).
Anyway, after I finished writing it, I felt like I could go to the West to learn from it.
I can do it too.
-
I’m digressing again, let’s talk about the purpose of my first volume.
Because my setting for this book on this subject is very large.
It is too huge to be spread out bit by bit, so I chose to use a special method, a special place, and a special environment to highlight the main structure of at least the next two or three volumes through the events of this volume.
In short, it was a military parade in Red Square.
Let everyone know, at least the specific system of Huayu and some nearby places.
What is there in this world, what is this world like, and what is noteworthy about this world.
I will show my cards directly to the readers.
Also avoid the eloquent way, and finally everyone said:
"Ah, the author couldn't keep things going, so he came up with a new system and created a new map."
If it were anything else, I would admit it, but for this book, I don’t really want to be evaluated like that.
So I directly stated the cards and wrote out the skeleton, at least quite a part of it.
-
So that's really the point I'm going to make.
【I solemnly promise here】
[The characters, system, background, and maps of this book will not be fleeting]
[The connections in the plot will not be seen looking back. Only the protagonist stands at the top, and the others are weak versions and can only shout 666 in the sewer]
[This book may not necessarily be super exciting, but it will follow the logical and reasonable content and the premise of online IQ. 】
[If I make a mistake one day, I will finish the book directly. 】
This is my commitment, and this is what I wanted to pursue when I wrote my book.
I feel very happy when I read other people’s cool articles, but when I write my own cool articles I get very weird.
——
So let’s talk about some settings that can be talked about.
I will explain it to you in a down-to-earth way.
First of all, there are two types of techniques and rituals.
Techniques are understood as skills, such as the third skill of qwe.
The ritual is r, which should be easy to understand.
-
Most techniques are not dangerous in the learning stage, and there is no danger if they fail to perform.
Ritual is full of uncertain dangers from the learning stage to mastering the ritual. Even if the ritual is mastered, if a weakness is discovered, it will be fatal.
This is the fundamental difference between the two apart from extreme cases.
The problem that arises is ductility -
Strictly speaking, the plasticity of spells is higher than that of rituals.
We can refer to Zang Tiao and Yan Fang, both of whom are excellent at magic.
He is also an expert in leveraging in this world.
As for how high and how to extend, I won’t go into details. I mentioned it in the previous article, and I will continue to fill in the following articles.
As for the secret rituals and rituals, they are still at a very high level of authority and will be developed in the future.

About the Destiny Walker of Huayu——
This is a very complex yet simple system.
The simple thing is, if you identify as Huayu, and at the right time, or if you have enough ambition, then you have a probability of becoming that fishhook, and in the ethereal luck, you will gain relevant abilities, and in the end you will not Air Force, you no longer need to wear a helmet when actually going fishing.
Well, it can be understood that way.
The complexity lies in the fact that the upper and lower limits of this system are very high and very limited.
In short, there are most Destiny Walkers who only shine in specific situations, and their abilities may only be effective in special events or objects.
This is probably the scope that can be said at the moment, and the rest will be excavated slowly.
——
Then talk about the world view of the book.
At present, many friends do not understand the problems of some departments. Let us briefly explain:
The six largest departments in Huayu are called Liuyufu.
They are: Comprehensive Committee Department, Silu Hall, Prison Palace, Tianlang Pavilion, Star Observation Deck, and Yance Mansion.
In the clear direct superior-subordinate relationship currently in the book——
The General Affairs Bureau is directly under the Tianlang Pavilion, the Observation Center is directly under the Observatory, and the historian/archaeologist/family is directly under the Yance Mansion.
Among them, the four destiny masters are independent individuals. After they become destiny masters, they will automatically break away from their previous identities, but they will have in-depth connections with their former employers or relevant departments related to the operation.
In terms of authority, they can be on an equal footing with the Liuyu Mansion on their own territory (normal times). The rest of the time, it is decided based on the specific situation.
In terms of status, they are second only to the pillars of the Six Imperial Palaces and on the same level as the governors of the five states in the Chinese domain.
In addition to this, there are also governors in the five divisions of Huayu. This has not been described in detail. I will talk about it later. At present, it can be generally understood that when the Six Imperial Palaces do not interfere, the governors have absolute control over the areas under their jurisdiction. Control, including lower-level departments of Liuyufu, will also be affected.
If Liuyufu wants to actually intervene in state affairs, the normal process is to communicate or inform it.
Therefore, in a chapter of the Flower City Incident, you will find that this is the reason why the sudden appearance of the southern governor is so sweet.
So here, a new layer appears.
The Six Imperial Palaces are in charge of mysterious events, and the Five Prefectures are in charge of comprehensive affairs, that is, ordinary things for ordinary people, and to a certain extent, mysterious events in the prefectures under their jurisdiction.
There are negotiations with each other, but strictly speaking they are clearly divided.
——
World view of this book 2
In this book, if the world view, background, etc. were graded, then the world Xiao Zuo came to would undoubtedly be a hellish one.
You can also find that everyone's fights in the book are actually very restrained.
Why?
It's about the cost.
Therefore, the tone of this book can be understood in this way.
Mysterious battle is just one of the means to achieve the goal.
Because this book is not about killing for the sake of killing.
While enriching all kinds of strange abilities, another main theme is the interaction between people.
In other words, it can be said that there is intrigue, or it can be said that the conspiracy is brewing, and when the final collision occurs, their respective plans fail.
This is what I want to present.
The above are my thoughts on the first volume. See you in the second volume.
Right, right
The initial updates of the second volume may be less, which will make you scratch your head. Please forgive me.
(End of chapter)
