Chapter 645: Start Brushing

A new round is about to begin. Qi Ge bit his finger and calculated rapidly in his mind.

To restrict the troops of [Ghost Land], it is necessary to occupy 4 grids adjacent to [Ghost Land].

The good news is that one of the grids is close to the northeastern wall of the God's Chosen City and does not need to be attacked, and the other grid has been occupied before.

In other words, there are only 2 grids that need to be occupied.

If troops are sent from two routes, one goes north first and then east, and the other goes directly east and then north, the restriction of [Ghost Land] can be completed in two rounds.

But now, the squares around [Ghost Land] have been strengthened a lot, and will be strengthened again in the next round.

If the troops are divided into two routes, the losses may be very huge, and there is even a risk of the troops being completely wiped out.

If the troops are combined, the losses can be reduced, but it will take at least 4 rounds to restrict [Ghost Land].

In 4 rounds, [Ghost Land] sent troops 4 times, not only facing more troops, but also facing the danger of being attacked by chaos monsters at any time.

There are two roads, one is doomed to fail, the other is half-dead.

"I just built the city, and I haven't even had time to digest the results of the city building. [Ghost Land] appeared next to it. It's too obvious to target it.

With the city, even if [Ghost Land] is in the corner of the map, I am sure that I can develop and surround it while brushing it.

It happened to be next to it."

Qi Ge bit her finger, looked at her city, and took a deep breath.

"At this point, I can only cut off my arm."

...

...

Having a city has another advantage, that is, the decision-making and thinking time before each round becomes unlimited.

Because there are many buildings in the city that can be used before the round starts.

Qi Ge told Smith about the current situation by forming words and patterns with flowers.

After learning about the current situation, Smith was also very nervous.

The flowers bloomed and pointed the way for her.

Smith lifted her skirt and trotted along with the white flowers that kept blooming and withering.

In the city, as the city lord, Smith moved as fast as a gust of wind, and even the [Twilight Wanderer] following her was left far behind.

Soon, Smith, led by the flower, came to the [Boneyard].

The Boneyard is located around a lake in the flowing plain.

The soil and river water here are light gray, which looks gloomy.

Smith was wondering what Qi Ge brought him here for, and the flower turned again.

This time, the flower took Smith to a farmland.

Hundreds of farmers' huts were neatly arranged, and each hut could accommodate 3 farmers.

Seeing that the flowers surrounded the farmers' huts, Smith thought for a while and took a breath.

"Oh my God. Brother Qi Ge, you mean that I should kill the farmers and turn them into skeleton soldiers?!"

At this moment, a bunch of flowers bloomed at the same time, forming the word "right" on the floor in front of Smith.

"This... this... this is too cruel."

Smith frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable:

"If I do this, what's the difference between me and those churches that I hate?"

Qi Ge, who was in the perspective of God, covered his forehead.

This is exactly what he is most worried about.

If he asked Zhang Fuyou to do this, Zhang Fuyou would not hesitate at all.

The Fourth Calamity is an absolute profit-seeker. As long as all actions can generate enough benefits, they will not hesitate.

But Smith is different from Zhang Fuyou. She has lived in the Yasha world since she was a child and has her own view of good and evil.

In her eyes, she is a living human being like those farmers. It is a great mental burden for her to let her slaughter her compatriots.

When Qi Ge was thinking about how to explain to Smith that the people in the Chaos Treasure House were fake and did not really exist, Smith suddenly took a deep breath and said to the sky:

"Brother Qi Ge, I know you are different from those people.

I have never seen a lord who loves his people more than you since I was a child. Even my father and Grandpa Mlak are not as good as you.

Brother Qi Ge, I will do what you ask.

But I also have my persistence.

I will not force them, I will give them a choice."

Smit took a step forward and issued an order to summon the peasants.

White lights flashed in front of Smith, and the white light dissipated, and the figures of the peasants emerged.

In the God's Chosen City, a total of 16,000 peasants gathered in front of Smith.

Smith held his hands in front of him and said to them:

"My fellow citizens, our territory is in danger and you may need to sacrifice your lives to save it.

If you are willing to die, please step forward."

As soon as Smith finished speaking, the farmers ran towards her, scrambling for the first place.

Finally, all the farmers crowded in front of Smith, their eyes full of determination.

Smith was shocked: "What is going on? Aren't they afraid of death?"

This is morale.

Qi Ge looked at the city panel. The city was successfully built, plus many special terrains and buildings.

The morale of the God's Chosen City is as high as 13 points.

Because living with the undead has reduced it by 3 points, there are still 10 points of morale.

10 points of morale have made these farmers regard the God's Chosen City as their home.

In order to protect their home, they are willing to sacrifice.

Seven pigeons helped Smith randomly select 10,000 peasants. They dressed up, said goodbye to their loved ones, and all entered the burial ground.

Their bodies were swallowed by the undead spring water in the burial ground and turned into skeleton soldiers holding rusty swords.

Although they are all level 1 and rank 1, peasants are standard logistics soldiers.

[Peasant

Attack: 1

Defense: 1

Damage: 1

Life: 1

Speed: 3

No combat skills]

[Skeleton soldier

Speed: 4

HP: 6

Defense: 4

Attack: 4

Damage: 1~3

Skill: Undead]

In the battlefield mode, 1 skeleton soldier can fight 5~6 peasants without any problem.

With the addition of 10,000 skeleton soldiers, Smith's troops became much stronger.

If it were just skeleton soldiers, they would not be that powerful.

The key is the natural wonder [The Great Tomb of Nazarick].

When the Great Tomb was obtained, the Great Tomb gave 90 corpse wizards to the God's Chosen City, plus the 30 just recruited, a total of 120 corpse wizards.

Corpse wizards are long-range spellcasting troops, and use the death cloud of life troops to cause range damage when attacking.

They have 12 ammunition and 100 magic points, as well as the magic of gathering spirits that can revive the undead and the super-large-scale group attack magic death wave.

With skeleton soldiers as meat shields to protect corpse wizards, the combat capability of corpse wizards can be increased several times.

In fact, corpse wizards and skeleton soldiers have always been a classic combination of cemetery forces, and their classicity is no less than that of knight angels of human forces.

So, the skeleton soldiers led by corpse wizards were divided into a team and attacked northward.

At the same time, human troops gathered and attacked eastward.

Smith's troops were divided into two groups to suppress the [Ghost Land].

The remaining farmers, one part of them rushed to develop the city and build new city buildings, and the other part was all sent to [Kingfisher Wetland] for exploration.

The result of this exploration was different from the previous ones.

"There are 600 peasants in total, and 6,000 cards should be generated, but only 3,000 cards were generated.

This should be because the entire [Kingfisher Wetland] has only 3,000 exploration results in total, which has reached the upper limit.

It seems that I was right not to search repeatedly in the same square.

Since there is an upper limit to the exploration results.

That means that even if you are not a European emperor, you can use the exhaustive method to step on all the results to trigger all the gold cards in the square.

Of course, if all gold cards are triggered, no black cards will escape.

But this is also a way out for technical players like me."

The lotus leaves grow and the lotus roots grow, and summer and autumn change.

A new round is about to begin, and various settlements follow one after another.

In the shocked eyes of Qi Ge, there are two golden cards, which suddenly turned into colors the moment they were turned over! !

[Exploration:

Mass Grave: A peasant found a strange mass grave deep in the wetland,

Skeleton Soldiers +80 per week.

It can be consumed to upgrade Skeleton Soldiers to Level 1, 5th-order Miracle Soldier Skeleton Deadpool]

[Skeleton Deadpool

Force: Cemetery

Level: 1

Rank: 5

Quality: Miracle

Speed: 12

Life: 10

Defense: 1

Attack: 30

Damage: 40~60

Special Skill:

Undead

Death for Death: Ignore enemy defense, damage reduction, and damage immunity when actively attacking,

All of them die after attacking.

The Last Laugh: When all die, cause one true damage (60*self-number) to a random team of enemy units within 5 grids around. 】

"This is... a powerful troop that will perish together.

Ignoring defense damage reduction and damage immunity, it is truly a one-shot slash.

After one slash, the enemy dies and I die.

The two special skills of death for death and last laugh are really useful on the skeleton soldiers.

Many high-level troop types of the Undead have the means to revive the undead, which can make these two special skills work repeatedly.

It's a pity that if the mass graves could be found earlier, so many farmers would not have to be sacrificed."

There is no regret medicine in the world. Qi Ge put his mood back and looked at another colorful card.

[Sky Boat

A farmer found an inscription and a complete airship deep in the Kingfisher Wetland.

The inscription reads:

This is a great mythical building built by a powerful architect who did not leave his name.

It has infinite power, can penetrate every corner of the world, and can also send soldiers to the corresponding location.

It's a pity that to restart the Sky Boat, 6 million gold coins and 4,000 level 4 resources are required. 】

"Ha?! Ha?!! Sky Boat?! It's really a Sky Boat, even the shape is exactly the same!"

Qi Ge was stunned.

Looking at the Chaos Treasure House he had experienced, the buildings and terrain generated inside could not be randomly generated.

It is unreasonable for the Sky Boat to appear here.

"I am very sure that the Sky Boat was designed by the ancestor of Credel and completed by me personally.

Before me, there was no way that there was a Sky Boat in the Yasha World.

Could it be that the Grid World is an extraterritorial world outside the Yasha World, and it just so happened that there was an architect in that world, and built a Sky Boat that is exactly the same as my "Sky Boat"?

How could it be such a coincidence?"

Qi Ge rubbed his eyebrows and had a headache.

"If this Sky Boat is my Sky Boat, then what about this Treasure House?

The Chaos Treasure House is the battlefield where Yasha and Chaos fight for something.

What is this Chaos Treasure House fighting for?

Could it be that this Chaos Treasure House is fighting for the future of the Yasha world?

No.

The future of the Yasha world is illusory, and Chaos cannot have the power to devour the future of the Yasha world.

If Chaos has this power, then Chaos does not need to invade the Yasha world at all."

Thinking of this, Qi Ge suddenly had a bold idea in his mind:

"It is possible that this Chaos Treasure House is fighting for a possibility of the future of the Yasha world!

The Grid World... Is it possible that the future Yasha world will become a Grid World?"

Without other evidence to support it, Qi Ge knew that no matter how much he thought, it would only be a guess in the end.

He stopped struggling and continued to check the cards he had turned over.

It is a pity that the subsequent cards could never bring Qi Ge such a huge shocking surprise like [Mass Grave] and [Sky Boat].

After the exploration and development were settled in sequence, it was finally the turn of the expedition.

[Battle Report 1: The northern [Underground Mine] was successfully captured, with a total loss of 3020 soldiers.

[Corpse Witch] successfully resurrected 2010 soldiers.

A total of 1010 [Skeleton Soldiers] were lost. ]

[Battle Report 2: The eastern [Golden Sea] was successfully captured, with a total loss of 129 soldiers.

[Warhammer Priest] successfully resurrected 13 soldiers.

A total of 7 [Holy Guards], 3 [Twilight Wanderers], 2 [Star Heavy Crossbowmen], 6 [Warhammer Priests], 1 [Unfallen Flag], and 110 [Spearmen] were lost. ]

"The [Unfallen Flag] fell (sad)."

Although both sides succeeded in taking it down, the loss was beyond Qi Ge's expectations.

Such a huge loss made Qi Ge realize that he had underestimated the power of [Ghost Land].

A new round began, and [Ghost Land] took action again.

Six green butterflies danced, 3 to the north and 3 to the east, reinforcing the two squares that could restrict it.

This action fully demonstrated that [Ghost Land] was intelligent and not so easy to deal with.

Two bright red skulls appeared on the map, indicating that both squares were guarded by True Chaos troops.

This meant that if the original organization was maintained and the attack continued, the damage to the Corpse Witch troops without the Mythology troops would surely be unacceptable to Qi Ge.

"No matter what, the resources are abundant now, so recruit all the troops that can be recruited first.

I bet all my hopes on my next card!

My turn, Smith, draw a card!"

At Qi Ge's command, Smith chose to recruit in [The Great Tomb of Nazarick].

[Recruitment successful.

You successfully recruited Corpse Witches*29, Corpse Witch Hero*1]

Qi Ge:?

"Huh? !!

What? A hero has appeared so soon? What kind of luck does Smith have?"

Under Qi Ge's shocked gaze, the Great Tomb suddenly began to change.

The magnificent [Great Tomb of Nazarick] covers an area of ​​1,200 square kilometers, including castles, temples, underground tunnels, waterways and other diverse maze structures, presenting a composite form of underground mazes and surface castles.

At this time, countless black smoke was lingering in the sky above the vast [Great Tomb of Nazarick], condensing like black clouds.

These smokes were rapidly merging, forming a corpse wizard holding a withered staff. His figure was tall and mighty, towering above the sea of ​​clouds like a mountain.

His face was covered in darkness, and his eyes flashed with the light of evil thoughts, which made people shudder.

The figure of the corpse wizard gradually shrank, and finally half-knelt in front of Smith, and said in a deep voice:

"My name is Modo.

I have awakened from eternal sleep and come to follow the God of Destiny.

Your Majesty, please give orders. I will spare no effort in the fight against chaos."

[Modo

Level: 76

Legendary Specialty: Can consume resources to help the corpse wizard type soldiers advance, and the carried corpse wizard type soldiers increase one shooting or casting opportunity per round.

Greatly enhance the attributes of the corpse wizard type soldiers.

...

Legendary heroes have action points: 4 points]

The seven pigeons were dumbfounded. Smith, a level 5 hero, actually summoned a legendary hero.

And, it was Modo? !

Modo is a natural commander, destined to run around on the battlefield all his life.

Modo is different from Sandro, who plays conspiracy. He is the commander-in-chief of Diya's three armies. Although his level is only legendary, he is very good at fighting, as if he was born for war.

After the establishment of the Diya forces, they fought a total of 4 foreign wars, and won 3 of them.

The commander of these 3 times was Modo.

Modo was even so powerful that he was so powerful that the king of Diya was very afraid of him. He found fault with him again and again, and finally made him angry and rebelled.

...

Modo held a staff in his hand, and seemed to understand the current situation at once, and said to Smith:

"Your Majesty, we must solve the [Ghost Land] around the city as soon as possible.

Please hand over the corpse witches in the territory to me and give me certain resources.

Under my leadership, your troops will be invincible."

"This..."

Smit blinked, and suddenly saw the flowers on the ground formed a big word: "Good".

She immediately said:

"General Modo, I'll leave it to you."

[System prompt: Modo is upgrading the corpse wizards. ]

[System prompt: Your 140 corpse wizards are upgraded to level 5, rank 5 hidden soldiers, the Undead Priests.

Your 9 corpse wizards are upgraded to level 5, rank 5 mythical soldiers, the Purple Robe Lich. ]

Modo nodded and said to Smith:

"Although the number did not meet my expectations, it is enough to deal with the current [Ghost Land].

Your Majesty, please give me the order to go to war."

Smit glanced at the flowers blooming and withering under his feet, and said to Modo:

"General Modo, I will give you all my undead troops. You can go to war at will without my consent."

Modo happily blew a puff of black smoke from his mouth.

He raised his staff and said loudly:

"Your Highness, I am grateful for your trust. I will never let you down."

Modo can act 4 times in one round, and he and his army are enough to destroy the remaining two squares around the [Ghost Land].

All the human soldiers who went out to fight were called back by Smith.

900 of them explored three unexplored squares, and the rest were all left to build the city.

…

A new round begins.

Modo led the team to fight, advancing on the map with overwhelming force.

At the beginning of the exploration, only 1 colored card was explored in 3 squares.

[The Hades Spirit Tower

Natural Wonder

Effect: Allows the hero to learn 1~7 levels of dark magic, and learning requires 1 action point of the hero. 】

Good news from the development team.

[The city construction degree reaches 100%, and the construction of the Congress and the castle is completed

The city gets 100,000 gold coins per round, and the output of all soldiers in the city doubles.

The city gains the right to expand, and can expand 7 squares. 】

Immediately afterwards, 4 great victory reports came.

[Battle Report 1: [Xuanyue Cliff] was successfully captured, without damage.

Hero Modo summoned 100 corpse witches through the legendary necromancy. 】

[Battle Report 2: [Cangsang Sea] was successfully captured, without damage.

Hero Modo summoned 30 corpse witches through the legendary necromancy. 】

[Battle Report 3: [Deep Plain] was successfully captured, without damage.

Hero Modo summoned 110 corpse witches through the legendary necromancy. 】

[Battle Report 4: [Yunjian Mountain Range] was successfully captured, without damage.

Hero Modo summoned 40 corpse witches through the legendary necromancy. 】

[System prompt: Your occupied area has successfully formed an encirclement, and [Ghost Land] has been restricted.

[Ghost Land] will no longer send Chaos Monsters to the surrounding area.

Please build a city in the occupied area as soon as possible, otherwise the occupied area will gradually degenerate into a non-occupied area. 】

The role of a legendary hero is fully demonstrated at this time.

Under the leadership of Mordor, Smith's undead army captured 4 squares in a row without losing a single soldier, and there were 280 more corpse witches.

Autumn leaves are floating and snow is flying.

Winter is here.

The large number of sacrifices of farmers has prevented Smith from accumulating enough food reserves. Fortunately, the God's Chosen City has developed and can buy food with gold coins in the market.

Qi Ge asked Smith to divide his troops into two parts: undead and human.

The human part specializes in searching, development, city construction and other work, and the war is fought by the undead led by Mordor.

Smith has entered a period of rapid development.

Four rounds have passed. Mordor has captured another nine-square grid, and a new city has begun to be built.

Two rounds have passed, and the new city has been successfully built and named [City of Rest] by Smith.

The expansion of the territory of the God's Chosen City, together with the [City of Rest], just completely surrounded the [Ghost Land].

[System prompt: Your city has successfully formed an encirclement, and the [Ghost Land] is surrounded.

[Ghost Land] died.

The next round of [Ghost Land] will appear after 10 rounds, and the number of [Ghost Land] that appeared in this round is: 2. ]

The green butterfly on the [Ghost Land] trembled its wings and fell off, and the entire [Ghost Land] gradually returned to normal and turned into a normal square [Linlang Grassland].

At this moment, Qi Ge had a crooked idea.

"General Modo can attack 4 pieces of land in one round, and he can create a nine-square grid for building a city in three rounds.

Building a city and recruiting soldiers for rapid development requires a lot of resources, so there is no spare energy to squeeze out resources to repair the [Sky Boat].

We must find a way to make some extra money."

With the help of Qi Ge, Smith sent a farmer and successfully captured the [Linlang Grassland] without any Chaos troops stationed.

This time, Qi Ge first chose [Explore] but did not choose [Develop], but directly chose [Collect] and [Destroy]!

Exploration comes first, collection comes second, and destruction comes last.

The card is turned over, shining with golden light, but no color is shown.

Exploration ends, collection begins!

[Your total of 16,000 troops successfully collected food*43,670, wood*21,400, ore*13,000, and gold coins*288,760 on [Linlang Grassland].

[Linlang Grassland] was damaged, and the development degree dropped to -200%]

[You destroyed [Linlang Grassland], and the wailing of wronged souls resounded in the sky.

You obtained 2,860,000 gold coins and advanced resources*2,400. Combination treasure: Ghost King Cloak]

With a loud bang, the huge [Linlang Grassland] grid collapsed as a whole, turning into a large amount of resources and gold coins that gathered on Smith, leaving only a huge void.

The benefits of destroying the grid were terrifying. Most of the resources needed to repair the Sky Boat were instantly met, and an additional combination treasure [Ghost King Cloak] was obtained.

[Ghost King Cloak

Combination treasure

Equipment location: Cloak

Effect: The effect of the hero's necromancy is increased by 200%.

According to the level of necromancy, you can freely specify the undead creatures summoned.

Primary: Zombie, Intermediate: Ghost, Advanced: Vampire

Master: Corpse Witch, Legendary: Dark Cavalry, Demigod: Bone Dragon.

God level: Dragon Lich]

The appearance of the Ghost King Cloak made Modo even more powerful.

But it also made Qi Ge confirm his guess.

"The Ghost King Cloak is a unique combination treasure. It will appear in this Chaos Treasure House and be obtained by me, which means that the original owner of the Ghost King Cloak [Dragon Lich Lord·Death·Dogosos] is no longer there.

The world shown by this Chaos Treasure House is really in the distant future."

The void left after the destruction of the [Linlang Grassland] square began to be gradually filled with chaos mist.

After three rounds, a new [Ghost Land] will be generated here.

Seven pigeons develop their own cities like pigeons, and usually pay attention to the situation here.

One, two, three!

After three rounds, the season comes to the warm spring again.

A large amount of chaos mist completely fills the void, and a new [Ghost Land] is born.

[System prompt: Extra [Ghost Land] appears, please be careful. ]

And at the moment when [Ghost Land] was born, the four cities surrounding [Ghost Land] emitted light at the same time.

As soon as [Ghost Land] appeared, it quickly faded and turned into a normal square.

[System prompt: Your city has successfully formed an encirclement, and [Ghost Land] is surrounded.

[Ghost Land] died.

The next round of [Ghost Land] will appear after 4 rounds, and the number of [Ghost Land] that appeared in this round is: 2. ]

"It's done! It really works!"

Qi Ge was extremely excited.

"Haha, when it comes to cheating, I'm a professional!"

Qi Ge immediately asked Smith to [explore], [collect], and [destroy] the newly appeared squares.

At the same time, with the efforts of Modo, Smith completed the "cross siege" of another city.

Two squares were destroyed at the same time!

Three collections and destructions made Smith's resource reserves burst in an instant.

With enough resources, Smith gave the order without hesitation to repair the Sky Boat.

The Sky Boat was repaired on the top of the mountain. It was composed of huge wooden boards and cables. Its hull was decorated with colorful wooden boards and shone brightly in the sun.

As the Sky Boat was repaired, the entire airship began to rise gradually and finally arrived above the clouds.

From the boat, Smith looked out, and the surrounding mountains and forests stretched all the way to the horizon.

I will climb to the top of the mountain, and see all the other mountains!

[Taling Sky reports to Captain Smith.

The Sky Boat is completed. Should I load the Chaos Compass? ]

"Load!"

Smit pressed the Chaos Compass into the cockpit of the Sky Boat, and the grid world map in front of Qi Ge suddenly lit up.

The whole world, the names of all the grids, the number of Chaos Guards, the production, whether there are natural wonders, and other information, were all in Qi Ge's sight.

With the Sky Boat's delivery function, General Modo's troops can land wherever they want, just like Go pieces.

Qi Ge used flowers to build a grid world map in front of Smith, and used flowers of different colors to prompt Smith to help him find the direction of attack.

Under the control of Qi Ge, in just two rounds, Smith found five races: [Elves], [Fairies], [Orcs], [Lizardmen], [Cyclops], [Phoenix], [Unicorn], and [Tauren].

He also found a new legendary hero - the legendary girl from the Elemental City, the Daughter of the Fire Wall, Luna.

With the addition of new races, some new resources were found on each square, and Smith's territory was more prosperous.

In the third round, two [Ghost Lands] appeared at the same time.

But this time, the [Ghost Lands] did not pose any threat to Smith.

As soon as they appeared, they were beaten down by Luna and Mordo's troops and entered a restricted state.

[System prompt: Your city has successfully formed an encirclement, and the [Ghost Land] is surrounded.

[Ghost Land] died.

The next round of [Ghost Lands] will appear after 8 rounds, and the number of [Ghost Lands] that appeared in this round is: 4. 】

After three rounds, eight cities were built at the same time, and both [Ghost Lands] were destroyed.

Gradually, Smith had more and more heroes, and the territory became larger and larger.

After Smith successfully found the miracle building [Lucky Treasure House] and started to produce treasures, the progress of the game was accelerated again.

[God Gloves]: Hero Actions +1

[God Boots]: Hero Actions +2.

…

Powerful treasures were equipped by Smith's heroes one by one, and more and more territories were included in Smith's kneeling.

After another fifty rounds, the number of [Ghost Lands] that appeared in each round had reached 64.

However, Smith is fearless.

[Ghost Land] always appears first on unoccupied squares, and such squares are always surrounded by built city circles.

[Ghost Land] dies as soon as it appears, and dies as soon as it appears, and is constantly exploited by Smith.

At this time, as long as Smith occupies all the squares step by step, he can successfully capture it.

But Qi Ge doesn't, he wants to play tricks.

"The destroyed squares will gather chaos mist to give birth to [Ghost Land].

[Ghost Land] will be surrounded by the city army as soon as it is born, and it will die quickly and become an ordinary square.

This is equivalent to, except for the first square, the other squares destroyed by Smith are actually consuming the power of chaos.

Then why am I in a hurry?

Brush it to death!

I want to see whether the chaotic energy of the ghost land is endless!"

PS: There is no double monthly ticket this month, and you can vote directly if you have it. The monthly ticket list has fallen out of the top 100 for three days, and the hamster didn't even notice it!

Fortunately, a book friend reminded me. I'm so stupid, I could have saved some drafts QAQ.
